Company Square.

Located in the heart of Night City, it is a globally renowned landmark.

The Company Square, which was rebuilt on the original site after the Fourth Corporate War, is home to world-renowned super giant companies.

In the past, countless legendary stories were born here, which are still talked about by people today.

Today, the company square is based on a five-story three-dimensional composite disk, and is developed and constructed as a super hub integrating transportation, landscape, parks, and commerce.

At the same time, the land disk expanded one layer underground to form a disk core building with a total of six floors.

The top layer of the disk is inlaid with the famous 'City Eye', which is a giant grid load-bearing glass surface.

With the disk as the center, there are several super giant company buildings respectively. Sitting directly opposite are the Arasaka Tower and the Military Science and Technology Building.

On the left and right sides are giant companies such as Pezo Petrochemical, Kangtao, and Biotechnology.

Two big holographic fish, one blue and one gold, wander around the giant disk day and night.

Now.

Gradually, many pedestrians gathered between the fourth and fifth floors of the company square.

They all stood on the disc in the square and watched the giant projections, which were posters for Kerry's concert.

What attracted their attention the most was one of the Will-O-Wisp masks from the Samurai Band.

Several fat-bellied NCPD police officers were guarding the perimeter of the venue, setting up a cursor isolation cordon, trying to disperse the crowd and prevent them from gathering.

But now the concert stage is still being built, and there are already so many people, which is somewhat beyond their expectations.

However, NCPD police officers do not receive much subsidy for field work. As for these gatherings of people, as long as they are not blatantly causing trouble, they just turn a blind eye.

at this time.

In the high-rise office of the Military Science and Technology Building, Meredith was holding a cigarette in one hand, overlooking the situation in the company square.

She has also heard a lot of rumors recently and has a premonition that something big is going to happen in the company square. As for who the finger will be pointed at, she has to wait.

Clio Rodion, a former member of Samurai Band, is going to hold a concert in the company square, and the announcement is so hot that even many old members of the Sixth Street Gang came out to support it.

In addition, there are rumors circulating that someone wants to take the opportunity to stage a riot against the company, and even the lucky wheel is turned up to place bets on which company will win the lottery.

Meredith discovered that some Sixth Street Gang veterans were still secretly discussing biotechnology issues.

She realized that there might be some connection between these things, and today, the feeling was even stronger.

Fortunately, this riot is most likely not targeting military technology. She just sent people to monitor the situation and stay the same in response to any changes.

Riots, concerts, biotechnology, what is the connection between these things, or who is holding this thread, she wants to find out.

Meredith inexplicably looked up at Arasaka Tower opposite and thought of that man.

"It can't be you, right?"

In fact, Meredith's intuition told her that this matter might be related to Tang Yu.

But he couldn't figure out what the relationship between Kerry's concert and Tang Yu was. No matter how they looked at it, they were both incomparable.

If she wanted to further confirm this conjecture, she would have to arrange for her men to conduct a careful investigation.

"It looks like there will be another good show tonight."

at the same time.

Tang Yu was standing on the upper floor of Arasaka Tower, overlooking the company square through the panoramic floor-to-ceiling electronic window screen.

Sasha was standing obediently behind him, looking at what was happening in the company square with the same curiosity.

The stage for Kerry's concert has begun to be set up, various equipment is being transported, and the order at the scene is stable. Many people gathered in advance to watch.

Tang Yu has received intelligence from relevant agents. All major companies have prepared a certain amount of force to prevent riots tonight, but the biggest action has been taken by biotechnology companies.

Biotechnology has put the entire building under martial law tonight. All employees have left the site and started remote working. At the same time, Kangtao intelligent security has been strengthened. Each floor is equipped with security robots, and the number has increased to three times the usual number.

In order to prevent people from carrying dangerous items in and out of the building, they strictly scan the identities of people entering and leaving the building and strictly check the items they carry.

At the same time, a comprehensive safety inspection will be carried out on the building to prevent security loopholes.

Tang Yu understood that the rumor that had been released had taken effect. Biotechnology had learned through various channels that there were forces secretly spreading the dirty things they had done.

Coupled with the rumors of the riots becoming more and more intense, biotechnology is also worried that someone will take the opportunity to cause trouble.

But Tang Yu didn't care about the preparations made by biotechnology, because the real danger was not in the building, and even if he checked the head, he couldn't find out the reason.

In addition, the electric storage pulse device is gradually charged, and the slight current changes are within the safe range and cannot be noticed at all.

Tonight, the Biotechnology Building will surely become the most dazzling fireworks.

In addition to Tang Yu, there are many people in the Counterintelligence Department who are paying attention to the situation tonight.

In the office area of ​​the Counterintelligence Department, all kinds of gossip and gossip are flying everywhere.

As Arasaka's intensive information exchange center, any rumors in Night City are infinitely spread and amplified here.

Several bombshells dropped one after another today, making it impossible for the employees of the Counterintelligence Department to work with peace of mind.

David Martinez's state is even more like this. He can't calm down at his desk at all.

After working together for a while, he has initially integrated into the atmosphere of the office area. Although he cannot provide any valuable information, he is a suitable listener.

Every time his colleagues talked about something extravagantly, David would show a very serious and surprised expression, which greatly satisfied their desire for expression.

In addition, David is usually tight-lipped, hard-working and knows how to measure things, so he is naturally favored by his sisters and aunts.

Especially the blond beauty in the workplace, every time she sees David's youthful appearance, she can't help but tease him.

David was surprised that Tang Yu came to work today. What he didn't expect was that there was a beautiful female assistant beside him.

He immediately noticed a strange change in the atmosphere in the office area, which seemed to have an inexplicable sour smell.

David guessed that Minister Tang, who had always been alone, suddenly had a delicate and beautiful female assistant beside him, which would make people feel a little bit disappointed.

David pretended to be ignorant and listened to the gossip of several female colleagues, but remained silent.

Colleague Sister Fengqing, with a pair of black socks and long legs stacked on top of each other, said mysteriously: "There are so many good shows today. Kerry is holding a concert, and some powerful people want to take the opportunity to cause riots. The black market has started betting on which company it is."

Winning the lottery."

The short-haired cool girl next to me was a little unbelievable: "No way, how come there is no movement from such a loud company, and why do you still get out of the way of this concert?"

Sister Fengqing looked like you didn't understand, and analyzed in a low voice: "Because some people are pushing behind, some are fishing, and some are watching the show."

The short-haired cool girl suddenly understood and murmured: "No wonder Boss Tang went back to the company to work today. He is probably worried about causing chaos at the concert."

Sister Fengqing nodded and said: "That's true, but the riots are just rumors. Whether it will happen or not will only be known after the concert."

"It's been so many years. Those who listened to the band's songs may have their feet half buried in the soil. Maybe it was just a carnival for old guys."

David was confused when he heard that Tang Yu's return to work was related to the concert, and there were also forces who wanted to use the concert to cause riots.

The office area is very busy today, and all kinds of news are spreading everywhere.

David summarized the rumors he heard.

The first most discussed item is that Tang Yuxin has arranged for a strange and beautiful assistant, and the gossip index is full of stars.

David suddenly recalled that Gloria seemed to have asked him whether the top management of Arasaka Company had secretarial assistants.

But he didn't think much about it and just thought she was curious and asked one more question.

Secondly, there is news about the concert. There are many theories, but there is basically no basis.

This time Kerry's concert was jointly checked by the City Hall, NCPD and other departments, and there were no problems.

If there really was a riot, it was because other people were taking the opportunity to cause trouble and try to take advantage of the Samurai band's popularity.

Nowadays, major companies in the company square have certain actions under martial law.

David kept listening to his colleagues chatting and took some time to finish the errands at hand. Taking advantage of dinner, he had the opportunity to walk out of Arasaka Tower and came to the company square disc hub.

As time passed by, the sky gradually began to darken.

He looked at the concert stage and saw the poster of the Samurai band, which felt a little familiar yet strange.

The stage has basically been set up, and a large amount of drinks are being transported inside and provided to the audience for free.

These things are really far away from him. He is not sure that crazy rock music can really start a riot?

You must know that after the reconstruction of Company Square, it has been listed as the safest area by NCPD and is a place of key protection.

On the hub disk, some NCPD police officers were already on scene to maintain order.

Suddenly, David saw from a distance, group after group of people walking towards the concert venue.

Most of them have gray hair, bearded beards, wear jeans, and are equipped with silver prosthetics, either prosthetic arms or prosthetic thighs.

There were even men walking with a limp who also joined in the fun and walked onto the hub disc, gathering continuously towards the concert venue.

Their appearance immediately attracted attention, and NCPD officers began to approach to inquire about the situation.

Those veterans all had red faces and smelled of alcohol, and they said directly: "I'm just here to see the concert. The Samurai Band is none of your business."

After saying that, he tried to push away the NCPD officer and go inside, but was still stopped outside.
