Chapter 104 Suspicion

Faced with V's sudden "picking up" behavior, Sandra just shook her head in a friendly manner and responded:

"No, Mr. V, this should be the first time we meet."

Seeing that V seemed to have failed in striking up a conversation, Johnny Silverhand couldn't help but jump out and turn on the taunting mode:

[What an idiot. You should just ask her if she can go out for a drink at night and then go to a hotel for a night of sex. 】

[This is such an old-fashioned way to pick up a conversation, even school girls will roll their eyes at you. 】

V ignored Johnny's taunt and continued to ask: "Then do you still remember when you were kidnapped by the scavenger in Watson District? I saved you."

V heard that Ye's Company was using AI to brainwash its employees, and wondered if Sandra was also one of the company's victims.

Although Sandra was very confused when she heard V's inexplicable words, she still maintained basic etiquette and responded to V:

"V, I think you have the wrong person. I have not been to Watson District in the past year. In fact, I have been working in the company for half a year and have never been out."

As soon as Sandra said these words, V suddenly felt a tingling feeling of fear. He felt more and more that what Lao Wei said was true. Ye's Company was using AI to control the brains of its employees!

[V, you look very bad now. Isn’t it just because you were rejected by the girl? As for your expression, is it as ugly as a flattened piece of shit? 】

Johnny Silverhand came closer to V and took a look, then he couldn't help but clicked his tongue and said: [Look at your expression as if you've seen a ghost, a company can scare you like this. 】

'Johnny... I don't know why, but I kind of regret coming here. ’

V had a strong hunch that this commission might be far more troublesome than he imagined!

[Bullshit, they probably regret asking a cyberpsychopath like you to come here to accept the commission. Of those prosthetic devices on your body, which of them can a normal person install? 】

While V and Johnny Silverhand were talking to each other in their minds, Sandra had brought V to the door of Congressman Jefferson's office.

"V, please wait here for a moment. Mr. Congressman will let you in after he has finished his work."

After the words fell, Sandra nodded to V with a smile, and then took the elevator and left this floor.

While V was standing outside the office door, he could vaguely hear Congressman Jefferson, who seemed to be talking on the phone with some important political figure.

"Don't worry, Mr. Mayor, Ye's Company has agreed to sell the rights to the airport to LA Company, but they have a hard condition, that is, they want to have an interview with Mr. Li Ang."

"Yes, otherwise they would rather let the airport rot in their own hands, so you have to communicate more with Mr. Li Ang about the specific situation."

As soon as he heard Senator Jefferson mention the word "Leon", V immediately pricked up his ears and listened carefully to the conversation inside.

"Okay, see you next time!"

After saying that, Jefferson hung up the phone and let V in from outside, and he also took a deep breath. In order to handle the transaction at the airport, he was busy.

Jefferson's full name is Jefferson Peralez. He is one of the councilors of Night City City Hall and a subordinate of Mayor Lucius.

Similarly, he received funding from Ye's Company Foundation for his studies and is now working as an errand for Ye's Company. He is as tired as a dog every day with his busy schedule.

If the top dignitaries above said a word, he, a pawn, would have to run around desperately.

After seeing V walking into the office, Jefferson immediately asked V to sit down and told V all the strange things that happened to him recently.

"V, I feel very insecure recently. I always feel like someone is following me, and they have also changed many of my personal belongings, work arrangements, etc.!"

"I hope you can help me find out the mastermind behind this, and ask who ordered him and what he wants to do."

Congressman Jefferson had a strong hunch that he must be being followed by someone, and that person was probably an agent sent by his political opponents!

After these days of speculation, Jefferson felt that the man behind the scenes was most likely Wilton Holt, and his purpose was of course to squeeze himself out of the core power circle of City Hall.

Last year, Wilton Holt was only the supervisor of Heywood District. Although he failed to successfully run for the mayor of Night City, Holt was still promoted to the city hall by relying on Lucius's means.

Now Holt is competing with Congressman Jefferson for the position of deputy mayor. The two can be said to be staunch political enemies. After all, there is only one position, and only one person can sit in it!

Only by targeting Jefferson and secretly digging out his dirty deeds could Wilton Holt squeeze out Jefferson and successfully win the throne of deputy mayor.

Jefferson's doubts were not unreasonable. He even suspected that if this situation continued, the furious Holt would secretly send an assassin to assassinate him the day before the election day!

After listening to Jefferson's story, V's brows were furrowed throughout the entire process. This was not because he found the matter difficult to handle, but because all of this information was Jefferson's subjective assumptions.

To put it more bluntly, V felt that Congressman Jefferson was simply too paranoid because he had no actual evidence to show that he was being followed or plotted against.

If it was a tracing investigation commission, it would be easy to handle, but if it was just a one-sided suspicion or guess, V could not guarantee that he could find out anything.

‘Johnny, what do you think about this? ’

This was the first time V took the initiative to communicate with Johnny Silverhand. He would not bother to deal with him at other times, but now V needed more different perspectives to analyze this matter.

[How else can he look at it? This guy probably has paranoia. I guess he is too busy and mentally disturbed. He thinks everyone wants to hurt him. ]

Johnny's sharp comments made V nod in agreement. He also suspected that Jefferson had taken the wrong drugs, which led to his unstable mental state.

‘Forget it, let's help him investigate first and try to find out something else. ’

[Whatever you want. ] Johnny's attitude was very cold and he disappeared immediately.

Seeing the expectant eyes of Congressman Jefferson, V nodded and promised: "Don't worry, Congressman, leave this matter to me, I will find out the truth as soon as possible!"

Whether Jefferson has a brain problem or someone is really following him secretly with bad intentions, we will know after the investigation.

"Great, then trouble you, V!"

Jefferson's tired face finally squeezed out a smile. Someone was willing to help him find out the dangerous factors, so he felt much more at ease.
