Chapter 840! Riddler
Chapter 840! Riddler
……
"Hey, what are you thinking about?"
After Lucy left, Shen Ye fell into deep thought. Ciri watched him for a while and couldn't help asking.
"nothing."
Shen Ye shook his head and retracted his thoughts. Then he looked at the time and found that it was still early, so he said: "Let's go, I'll take you somewhere."
"What are you going for?" Ciri didn't care where to go, she just wanted to know what to do.
"Drink tea!"
He then used his mobile phone to call a Delaman taxi, which he had taken once before and had a good experience.
Soon, a Delaman taxi stopped by the roadside, and Shen Ye and Xili got in the car amid the AI driver's standardized welcome speech.
This was Ciri's first time riding in a car, and she seemed very curious... except for last night, when she fell asleep and had no experience at all.
After looking at Xili who was looking around, Shen Ye told the AI driver the destination of this trip: "To Niuniu Street..."
Yes, he was going to find Wakako.
Of course, I’m not going there to seek help, but to confirm one thing... maybe there will be other unexpected gains.
Just as Delaman's taxi started, the car radio suddenly played a piece of news.
Rosalind Miles, former CEO of Militech and President of the New United States of America, arrived in Night City yesterday...
Delaman's taxi was very efficient and didn't deliberately take a detour like most other drivers. It didn't take long for them to reach their destination.
After getting out of the car with Xili, Shen Ye took her straight into the building, but they were stopped by someone before they had gone far.
"Please stop. Who are you looking for?"
"I'm looking for Mrs. Westbrook."
"Do you two have an appointment?"
"No."
"I'm really sorry, my lady is meeting an important guest, so please go back." The person who stopped Shen Ye said politely, obviously having received professional reception training.
But Shen Ye has his own solution...
Of course, he didn't go into a fit of cyber-psychosis and attack on the spot. Instead, he took out a few large-denomination Euro bills from his pocket.
"Please inform her and tell her that Shen Ye is looking for her."
Since He Gezi treated Shen Ye so politely last time, he naturally had to give her some face.
There is almost nothing that can't be done with money in Night City. When the man saw the bills that Shen Ye handed over, which were enough to cover his monthly salary, his expression changed immediately.
After borrowing the money and putting it in his pocket, the man said, "Please wait a moment. I will go and inform the lady."
Not long after, the man came back and said to Shen Ye and Xili respectfully: "Please follow me."
Then Shen Ye and Xili followed the man to the door of Wakako's office. The man knocked on the door, and after hearing "Come in", he opened the door and let them in.
As the office door was closed, Shen Ye naturally walked to Wakako and sat down. After saying "Please sit anywhere" to Xili, he said to Wakako with a smile: "I'm sorry to disturb you from chatting with your friends."
"Actually, we were just discussing you." Wakako shook her head, and then handed Shen Ye a cigarette like last time.
Shen Ye took the cigarette, but did not light it. He just tapped the coffee table with his fingers, looked at Wakako who was busy making tea and said: "Really? Then can I meet her?"
Whether it was Japanese or English, he could tell it was a man or she could tell it was a woman. Wakako frowned and said, "She's gone."
"Ms. Wakako, I thought we were already friends!" Shen Ye glanced at the corner of the room with the corner of his eye. The optical camouflage glass wall could not block his perception at all.
Wakako did not notice his subtle action. Even if she noticed, she did not believe that Shen Ye knew that there were other people in the room. Even though Oda Santai told her last time that Shen Ye seemed to have discovered them, she just treated it as a guard's suspicion.
"We are friends, but this is different. Some people can't be seen just because you want to." Wakako pushed the brewed tea in front of Shen Ye and Xili, and said lightly: "Besides, when she wants to see you, she will naturally take the initiative to see you."
"Is that so? Fine then. I'll look forward to her taking the initiative." Shen Ye didn't dwell on this matter any more. After taking a sip of tea, he suddenly asked, "Has Arasaka Saburo come to Night City?"
Wakako was just lighting a cigarette for herself, and even though she was experienced and experienced, she froze when she heard these words.
After a while, she lit up a cigarette as if nothing had happened, took a deep breath and said, "I don't know."
Shen Ye smiled and pretended to be puzzled and said: "Is there anything else in Night City that you don't know, Ms. Wakako?"
Wakako shook her head: "My territory is limited to Japan Street. Outside of Japan Street, I don't know a lot of things."
"Really? It seems that Ms. Wakako is not as powerful as the legend says." Shen Ye shook his head regretfully.
"Because I'm just a poor woman whose five husbands have died." Wakako said calmly, but there was no trace of resentment in her tone.
"My condolences!" Shen Ye said with hypocritical comfort. Anyway, He Gezi was already used to the fact that her husband died.
Then he lit up the cigarette and took a puff, but it smoked Ciri who was sitting next to him. Hearing the white-haired girl coughing, he could only put out the cigarette helplessly.
Seeing this, Wakako put out her cigarette, and then she asked: "Mr. Shen, you didn't come here today to ask me these things, did you?"
"It's not true." Shen Ye shook his head, "Just to confirm one thing... Now I have the answer."
"Can you tell me about it?" Wakako asked.
Shen Ye took a sip of tea and said, "Of course... No, there are some things that cannot be told even to friends."
"Uh...haha, you really don't want to suffer any loss." Wakako shook her head helplessly, knowing that Shen Ye was using her previous words to hit back at her.
"Because I am a person who values fairness." Shen Ye smiled, then drank the tea in the cup, then stood up and said: "Thank you for the hospitality, but we have to go."
"Don't you want to stay for dinner?" Wakako's curiosity was aroused. She really wanted to know what Shen Ye had confirmed.
"Eat? Sure, but ma'am, do you have time for lunch?" Shen Ye asked back.
“Of course…” Halfway through, Ms. Wakako suddenly remembered that there were other people in the room, so she changed the subject: “I was talking about dinner.”
"Sorry, I'm not free tonight." Shen Ye shook his head, and without waiting for Wakako to continue to persuade him, he took Shiri out of the room.
As soon as they left, Arasaka Hanako came out from the corner.
She frowned and said to Wakako: "What on earth does this guy want to do?"
"God knows." Wakako relit a cigarette and then said bitterly: "I hate the Riddler the most."
