After everyone else has seen what's on the chip.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

"Project Nightingale?"

Mann I don't know how to describe my mood at the moment, whether it's excitement or something else.

He never thought about it.

There will be a day when I will be able to come into contact with this level of confidential information.

"So this is the information Faraday wanted us to get?"

Mann They sneaked into the office computer in the Biotechnology building, and the data they stole was just the tip of the iceberg.

Not all Project Nightingale are recorded.

The information about Project Nightingale recorded on the chip that Rogge gave to Su Xiao is the complete version.

"Sasha, now you know why I took you out by force, right?"

Sasha nodded gratefully.

Project Nightingale is jointly developed by Militech and Biotechnology.

And News 54 is the mouthpiece of Militech.

Since Militech and Biotechnology are in the honeymoon period of their cooperation, News 4

However, negative news about Biotechnology will not be exposed.

If Sasha chose to stay at that time, it would have no meaning except for one more corpse.

It is tantamount to saying that he died in vain.

However, even though he survived, Sasha still felt a deep sense of powerlessness in his heart.

If Sasha thought that uploading the "SECURICINE" information to News 54 was equivalent to seeing light in the dark deep sea...

So Su Xiao telling her the truth now is equivalent to telling her that it is not the real light.

It is a small lantern used to lure prey.

Mann glanced at Sasha who was a little disappointed.

Suddenly he took a deep breath.

It was like after a fierce ideological struggle and struggle, a decision was finally made.

"Su, can you sell us all the data in this chip?"

Su Xiao looked at Mann in surprise. "You want to buy it?"

Mann nodded firmly.

Su Xiao had a meaningful expression on his face.

"Do you know how much these materials are worth?"

"I can pay in installments, as much or as little as I want."

"Okay, let's assume that I agree to hand over this information about "Project Nightingale" to you, what are you going to do?"

Mann looked at the others again, and then his eyes stayed on Sasha.

Others were also curious and looked at him with confusion.

Don't understand what he wants to do.

Mann felt very relieved and expressed all his thoughts.

"Use an anonymous phone number that cannot be traced to call Joanne Kochi and Diana Cuno, the general managers of "Project Nightingale", and tell them that we have dirty information about them. If they don't want this information to be reported by WNS News, they should do as we say."

Even though Mann is quite big, he is not a simple-minded person with well-developed limbs.

Su Xiao said that Militech is the financial backer behind News 54.

Mann immediately thought of WNS News.

I learned pretty quickly.

It's just a pity...

Su Xiao shook his head after hearing this. "You want to blackmail them?"

It's not that he stands on the moral high ground and condemns others.

But I think Mann's idea is a bit whimsical.

Scenarios like that where you think you have the leverage and you can manipulate the female executives of the company at will will only happen in the book.

The reality is that they will bring a dozen security forces to your door to silence you.

"No, I want to avenge my team members."

If there is no Su Xiao and these information.

Mann It is absolutely impossible for such an idea to come up.

The price of revenge is too high and they cannot afford it.

But now, with this information, maybe they can't give it a try.

However, Su Xiao still ruthlessly poured cold water on him.

"No, if you use this method to deal with ordinary people, they may still give in. Company executives will not accept your coercion."

Mann was stunned for a moment. "Aren't they afraid that I will stab WNS News?"

Su Xiao explained patiently.

"Of course they are afraid, but they will find ways and find various reasons to delay. This is testing the bottom line, or it is a game. Can you understand what I mean?"

"This information is a double-edged sword. It can cause you harm, but it can also hinder your judgment."

"They dare to delay because they are sure that you will not hand over the information to WNS News right away. Otherwise, there is no need for you to contact them."

"Therefore, they have calculated this accurately, and will try their best to stabilize you first, and then seize the opportunity to find out your information... I know what you want to say, Mann, but don't underestimate the power of the company. In Night City, there is no one the company can't find."

"When that time comes, I'm afraid you and your team will be in danger."

Mann was stunned.

"Damn, these Corp Dog tricks are so many."

PS1: Faraday's British supporting actor is Giancarlo Esposito.

That is Uncle Fried Chicken in <Poison Master>.

In addition to <Poison Master>, he also appears in "Better Call Saul", "The Mandalorian", "Black Robe", and "Far Cry 6".

Chapter 109: Shot several times in the back, determined to be suicide (3K)

"Mann, forget it, I'm very grateful, but I still don't need it, don't do this..."

When he was in the Biotechnology building, Sasha had the idea of sacrificing himself and not wanting to drag down the team, so he chose to stay in the building.

Su Xiao is right, in Night City, Mega Corporation is heaven.

Even City Hall has to look at Mega Corporation's face.

If Mann puts the entire team in danger because of her, then Sasha would rather give up on seeking justice.

Would rather give up revenge.

"Damn it!"

Mann subconsciously wanted to reach out and punch the wall.

But then I remembered, this is Victor's clinic.

If it were anyone else, Mann wouldn't care so much.

At worst, if it gets damaged, you'll have to pay for it.

But since Su Xiao introduced Old Wei to Mann.

Mann They have been here many times.

Get guidance and help from Old Wei.

Replace inappropriate prostheses.

Replace with a more cost-effective prosthesis.

Moreover, Old Wei will give them some tools and accessories for maintaining the prosthetic body every time.

These are charged for other Cybernetics Clinic.

But Old Wei always comes with them for free.

Not to mention that Sasha also received treatment here at Old Wei.

Therefore, Mann's hands have been raised in the air.

Finally, I reluctantly gave up.

Not only Mann, but others also felt a sense of humiliation as they drew their swords and looked around at a loss.

Obviously they have grasped Corp Dog's weakness.

However, the current situation is more like someone else taking advantage of their weakness.

"Mann, no matter what, you can consider your teammates and your spirit is commendable."

"Stop teasing me, Sue."

"I'm not making fun of you. If you really have this idea, do you want to hear my plan?"

Two days later.

In a mansion of North Oak.

Diana woke up from the luxurious bed.

"Change the floor-to-ceiling window background."

The floor-to-ceiling windows in the bedroom changed in response and became transparent.

Outside, a large expanse of pleasant green comes into view.

Diana got up from the bed, put on pajamas, and took a shower first.

The servant responsible for taking care of her daily life prepared breakfast in her favorite stand.

Sitting in the stands, enjoying a carefully prepared breakfast while looking at the city below.

Especially the messy scenes of Kabuki District, Heywood and Santo Domingo, this is her must-have sideshow in the morning.

On one side is a narrow and crowded living environment, on the other side is a large villa with bright windows and green trees;

On one side, there are synthetic foods that taste like crap, and on the other side, there is a loving breakfast that takes into account taste, nutrition, and health.

Of course, even with the best prosthetic eyes, it is impossible to really see clearly what those poor people are eating.

But this is not a problem for Dr. Diana.

She can use her imagination.

Anyway, it's not like I've never seen those poor people digging through trash cans.

All in all, looking at those places and imagining the poor living and dining conditions of the people there gave her a sense of superiority.

It made her feel like she was a god who could trample poor people to the ground at will.

Let her sigh from the bottom of her heart, "Ah, this is life."

However, this beautiful morning did not last long before it was broken.

"Ms. Diana! Ms. Diana! Please take a look at this--"
