A half-year ago, he might have still called the other party a big shot, but now, forget about it.
Lin Miao stood up, looking at V sprawled out fast asleep on the sofa, with snacks and drinks piled up on the table in front of her.
"V, let's go."
This guy has stayed on the streets of Night City for too long, adopting all the rcenary habits, completely losing that polite deanor from her days as a corporate dog, such is the freedom without the constraints of Huang Ban.
If you really want this guy to help with sothing, she'll probably throw a punch quicker than she can think.
"Huh? Where to? Didn't you say we'd get attacked if we went out?"
Disturbed, V was groggy, looking like a lazy slug.
She thinks lazing around feels nice now, as long as there's food and drinks, why bother going out to fight?
"How should I know? Just co along, oh, and this ti you don't have to drive."
Lin Miao previously wanted V to play the role of a driver, but she ended up with a wild speed and thrill street chase with an assassin, hitting 200KM/H and nearly scaring Lin Miao to death.
At that speed hitting a tree, even a cyborg would be smashed to bits.
"No fun."
V shook her head and stretched lazily.
Her own beloved car couldn't take such a beating, driving the boss's car hard without having to pay for it was much more comfortable.
"Nina, after I leave, shut the door tight, you two stay put in the bar basent, if anyone knocks or makes any noise, call soone to beat them up."
"Got it, Mr. Lin."
The city council's car parked downstairs at so point, and the chauffeur and the female secretary with a do hat had opened the car door, making a gesture for Lin Miao to get in.
Lin Miao walked to the car door, curiously glancing at the female secretary, then playfully snatching the hat from her head.
"Nice hat, where'd you get it?"
"Custom-made at Burberry Hat Shop downtown, if you like it, Mr. Lin, I can give it to you."
"Uh-huh... better not."
Lin Miao laughed strangely before putting the hat back on the secretary's head.
"It has a funny sll, feels uncomfortable to wear, might shorten my life."
"V, get in."
V glanced at the driver and secretary, shaking her head.
"I'm not going, I don't want to visit places like the city council, they're looking for you not ."
"Then forget about getting paid, plus you gotta cover my vehicle repair costs, gas fees, and emotional damage from yesterday, big shots are waiting for ."
"Damn!"
V gritted her teeth, "Why don't you tell your girlfriend to get in?"
"She's got other things to do."
Unable to withstand Lin Miao's tugging and pulling, V was forcibly seated in the passenger side, while Lin Miao and the female secretary took the back seats.
The car moved slowly, and no one said a word, the silent atmosphere making everyone uneasy.
"Uh..."
Seeing the car head north, and when it should've turned left onto the overpass towards the city center, it went straight into Watson District, Lin Miao decided to break the silence, he looked at the female secretary sitting next to him and asked seriously.
"What's your mother's maiden na?"
V: "I think you should find a better topic, not just talk for the sake of talking."
"Alright, alright, I heard your cigars are rolled on a young girl's thigh, can you spare so of those, the free kind."
The female secretary didn't reply, instead she pulled a silver revolver from her pocket, quickly aiming at Lin Miao's head.
Bang!
The bullet pierced the car roof, Lin Miao had actually grabbed the gun barrel and pushed the muzzle upward.
"Hey, I just asked about so local specialties, no need to get so heated, or is your boss stingy?"
The female secretary finally opened her mouth.
"Once you're dead, we can burn you as much as you want."
She released her grip on the gun, fiercely jabbing at Lin Miao's head, Lin Miao dodged, her fingertips puncturing the bulletproof car window.
With the speed Lin Miao exhibited, the female secretary wasn't surprised, they had gotten all of Lin Miao's data long before coming, even though he didn't have transformation implants, his overall quality far exceeds the average modified human.
As Lin Miao dodged the attack, he flung the gun, pulled off the seatbelt by his right hand like a snake to bind the secretary's attacking right hand, forcibly pressing it against her own body, left hand holding her left hand, right hand pulling the seatbelt to bind her neck as well, and then fiercely yanked, with the intent to strangle her.
"Honestly, you don't disguise much, but compared to the actual secretary, your chest is too small, even padded, they don't jiggle."
The female secretary stared silently at Lin Miao, her neck obviously being tightly strangled, yet showing no signs of suffocation.
Her body was incredibly flexible, her slender legs actually captured Lin Miao's head within the car's narrow space, waist forcibly twisting, Lin Miao's half body was flung onto the passenger seat eye-to-eye with V.
"What are you looking at? Hurry up and make a move!"
"But he's still driving."
"Governnt car wrecked, you won't have to pay!"
The female secretary tugged her left hand, the high-strength nylon fiber binding her shredded apart like noodles, and her right arm sprang out a blade, slashing down intending to cut Lin Miao in half, Lin Miao quickly dodged from V's front.
And V looked at the driver, helplessly saying
"Bro, keep driving like nothing happened."
Clearly, the driver didn't listen, one hand gripped the wheel, the other pulled out a similar silver revolver aiming at V's head.
V: "Damn!"
The whole car seed to lose control, tires started sliding, sotis left, sotis right, narrowly missing collision with street lamps several tis, thankfully it got pulled back at the last mont.
Luckily, the vehicle already reached Watson District, due to the previous fire, it's scarcely populated here, roads wide and little traffic, otherwise it might've caused a major traffic disaster by now.
