The night breeze was a bit cold. When he walked out of the apartment building, Lin Mo couldn't help but wrap up his coat.
Tonight's conversation was much shorter than the time described on the simulator last night. In just over ten minutes, he had already finished chatting with Lucy.
Perhaps, in the simulated deeds, he should have entered Mewtwo with Lucy and played through the "Moon Travel" type Mewtwo movie, so he stayed longer.
But it doesn't matter, at least it saves a lot of time, and should be able to avoid that unexpected little incident...
Thinking back to the records from last night's simulation, Lin Mo strolled by the road and headed to the parking lot.
As expected, Kitagawa Hiroshi would be sitting in the car waiting for him.
On the way back, Rogge should call and talk to him about the reward.
Finally, when he returned to the studio building, he should be able to have a peaceful sleep.
Looking at it this way, there are quite a lot of things to do tonight. The further we get to the back, the more work and affairs may become more compact.
Arriving at the parking lot, Lin Mo's footsteps suddenly stopped in place, and his whole body was as stiff as if he was petrified.
Not far away, there were several cars parked in an empty parking lot.
Under the bright white light, next to the magnificent blue sword in the stone stood a woman with the same white hair, waiting patiently with her head and flowers in her hands.
The lights in the open-air parking lot shone down from above her head, making her as bright as if she had been specially taken care of by the lighting engineer on the stage. Her daily travel clothes were no less than the formal dress on the stage. The Sword in the Stone was as magnificent as her. It's a little bit inferior to both.
On the steps in the corner not far away, Kitagawa Hiroshi squatted aside with a confused look on his face, a cigarette in his mouth, as if "this matter has nothing to do with me", and wisely walked away from the scene, like a Pedestrians passing by by chance.
Lin Mo sighed and put his hand on his forehead, secretly thinking that this matter was indeed not that easy to avoid.
He thought that by chatting so quickly tonight, he would be able to avoid this "drama", but now it seems that his destiny has been planned for a long time.
For a moment, he had the idea of turning around and running away, but after seeing the woman's gaze, he bravely walked over.
"Haha, what a coincidence, I didn't expect us to meet here." Lin Mo smiled dryly and said insincerely.
It was indeed a coincidence, knowing so accurately when he would visit other people's homes, and being able to stay beside his sports car like a detective... Could it be that you are the reincarnation of Sherlock Holmes... He couldn't help but complain in his heart.
However, although Lin Mo's expression looked a little embarrassed, Sasha still had a gentle smile and seemed not to see the expression on his face at all. He just took a few steps forward and handed over the bouquet in his hand.
"This is for you." She said softly.
Lin Mo took the bouquet and subconsciously glanced at the bouquet that had been sprayed with rain and mist in the wrapping paper, feeling a little strange in his heart.
After all, from all aspects, it doesn't seem like the occasion to send flowers now.
Neither the person to whom the flowers were sent nor the time to send the flowers seemed appropriate.
Besides, he is an old man... No, he is an ignorant young boy who was blocked in the parking lot by an older woman to give her flowers, and he also stayed at another older woman's house not long ago... It seems that No matter how you look at it, the development of this plot does not seem to be good.
However, despite this, Lin Mo still recognized the varieties of flowers in his hands.
A new type of flower cultivated through genetic technology is said to be very popular at Night City Medical Center, because the implication behind giving this flower to others is to wish them good health, safety and longevity.
Although according to official surveys, the average lifespan of Night City residents is not too high, but because something is missing, whatever is missing will sell well, and this is especially true for this kind of flower that has been given a special meaning.
"Thank you." Lin Mo took the flowers calmly. He could also understand that this was Sasha's intention. He probably didn't want anything unexpected to happen to him in the days to come.
Sasha smiled and said nothing, knowing that he saw the meaning of sending these flowers.
Lin Mo continued to look at the woman in front of him, and suddenly asked in a low voice: "How long have you been waiting here?"
"Not long ago, I happened to get together with Mann and the others tonight, right over there, at the restaurant we often go to. Then when I was walking here, I happened to see your car again, and I wanted to come over and have a look. ..Do you want to go over there and take a look? Mann and the others should still be drinking."
Sasha's eyes rolled a little uneasily, and she explained with a smile.
Lin Mo shook his head silently, rejecting the invitation, and then asked meaningfully:
"Then you flower..."
Sasha reached out and brushed her hair, and replied with some uncertainty:
"I bought them at the restaurant. There happened to be a stall selling these flowers tonight. I knew you were here, so I bought some. You see, the dew on them is all fresh, just sprayed on. "
Lin Mo glanced at the rain, mist and dewdrops standing on the wrapping paper and petals, and nodded slightly.
"You, come here tonight... how was your chat with Lucy?" Sasha put his hands behind his back and rubbed his fingers together uncontrollably.
Until this moment, she finally had a clear picture and asked the most critical question.
Lin Mo looked as if he didn't realize it, and replied with a chuckle:
"In general, the chat was probably not too pleasant. It only lasted about ten minutes."
"Is that so..." Sasha looked at him for a while, her eyes seemed to be filled with some kind of emotion, but in the end these emotions were still covered under her always soft smile:
"Actually, I have one more thing I want to tell you."
"What's the matter?" Lin Mo looked down at the bouquet. Although it was very strange to be given flowers by others, he was still quite happy.
It's not about money, it's mainly about the joy of receiving gifts.
He spends so much money to support his employees, it's like playing some development games. The characters he has worked so hard to cultivate finally have enough strength, and he can also find the conscience to give him gifts. This feeling is similar to a "harvest" , will only make people feel happy from the bottom of their hearts.
Sasha looked at him quietly, seeming to see the joy in his eyes.
Then her mood couldn't help but jump up, and she said briskly:
"After this incident, do we want to go traveling together? If you agree, I have already chosen a location, which is in Hawaii. I heard that the offshore and scenery there are very good, and we can relax there. "
"Hawaii? Okay, if you have the chance, let's go together." Lin Mo touched his chin, thought for a moment and then agreed.
Anyway, we have agreed to go to the moon, so it is not difficult to go to the island again.
"Really? Then I'll be waiting." Sasha's smile became even brighter.
"Well, it's just a small matter. Do you have anything else? If not, I'll go back first. I'm a little tired tonight." Lin Mo yawned pretending to be tired.
Sasha shook her head silently, turned around and left a silhouette of Lin Mo, then waved her hand and said, "Then...goodbye."
Lin Mo nodded and said goodbye.
After standing there waiting for a long time, Kitagawa Hiroshi, squatting in the corner, also came over in time.
"You come and drive, I'm a little tired."
"Okay, where does Mr. Lin want to go?"
“Preach the Waterfront.”
"clear."
Beichuan Hao sat in the driver's seat, turned around and saw Lin Mo sitting in the passenger seat holding a bouquet, so he started the engine and drove the Sword in the Stone out of the parking lot.
...
The Sword in the Stone travels on the road, and the shadows of cars are like lightning.
It seemed that the car was a little too quiet. Lin Mo glanced at the bouquet in his arms, an idea came to his mind for no reason, and turned to Kitagawa Hao:
"Tomorrow you and Jack, David, Lucy, um, and Gloria, who are mainly the official members of the team anyway, except for Sasha, including you, will prepare a gift for me."
"Ah?" Kitagawa Hao didn't understand for a moment.
"Any gift will do. Even if you buy a pair of pants for me on the street, I will treat it as if you have given it to me." Lin Mo said calmly.
"Uh... Okay, I'll tell them." Beichuan Hao finally didn't ask why. He couldn't help but glance towards Lin Mo and saw the slightly dewdrops on the wrapping paper of the bouquet in his hand.
After a few seconds, he seemed to feel that there were some words he had been holding back in his heart, and he said sincerely:
"Lin Jun, in fact, it is impossible for the stall next to the turbo restaurant to sell this kind of flowers."
"Yeah, I know." Lin Mo didn't say anything more, looking far out of the car.
"Moreover, Miss Sasha actually waited for you to come down before spraying the locking agent on the bouquet..."
"I know everything." The young man responded with certainty.
Kitagawa Hao wanted to continue saying something, but when he moved his eyes to the side, he only saw Lin Mo putting his finger on his lips and making a "shhh" motion.
In the young man's eyes, the slightly bright aperture was extremely dazzling.
Kitagawa Hao nodded and wisely did not continue speaking.
Lin Mo also took advantage of the situation and answered the phone.
[You have really done something big, boy. I have to say that you surprised me. Because of your nonsense, Night City has not been so lively for a long time. 】
The moment the call was connected, Rogge's voice immediately rang in his ears. Her tone was a little cold, but it was hard to tell whether she was pleased or criticized.
[The moment you sold me the information, didn't you expect this to happen? I don't believe it. ] Lin Mo replied with a smile.
[Haha, I am not a prophet, at best I am a well-informed information dealer. How could I have imagined that our Mr. Mo Ying could quietly increase his worth to 100 million. ] Rogge half laughed at himself and half sarcastically.
Lin Mo refused to comment and looked outside the car:
[You are right. Except for the high-ranking big shot and the initiator of this bounty, how could ordinary people like us have expected such a thing. 】
[It seems that you also know that this bounty was initiated by him, which saves me the time to explain. Now tell me what you think. Boy, you want me to help you find a suitable hiding place. Or want to escape Night City? 】 Rogge asked seriously:
[If you want plastic surgery so that you can continue to live in Night City with a new look, I also know a good doctor here. He can...]
[I want that gentleman’s information, all the information! 】
Before Rogge could finish speaking, Lin Mo interrupted her narration bluntly.
There was silence on the other end of the phone. After a moment, there was a heavy sigh, and then Rogge asked in a low voice:
[Have you thought about it all? 】
[Isn’t this what you promised me? The hijackings of the past two days are enough to prove that I am qualified to obtain this information. I only hope that you can keep your promise. ] Lin Mo said calmly.
Rogge smiled softly, as if he did not expect that one day he would be questioned by such a young man.
[I am not such a person who breaks my word. Give me two days and I will tell you all the information I know. At that time, it is your own business how you want to act...] Rogge told the story without mercy.
[Thank you, can I ask how much this information costs? ] Lin Mo breathed a sigh of relief. He thought Rogge would choose not to help him.
Although the possibility of this happening is very slim, after all, she is the queen of the next life, so she won't even sell him information.
But whether Rogge can provide him with information will be the most important part of the entire plan, and he cannot help but treat it with caution.
However, Rogge's method was indeed extraordinary for being able to collect relevant information about the Moore Technology CTO within two days.
We are all old people in this industry, and we are not newbies who are new to the industry. There is no need to explain it too clearly. Both parties know that this "information" is not Luo Yin's height, age, hobbies and other information. , but important confidential information such as his daily schedule and security protection level.
[As for the cost, I can only say that it will be very expensive. You have to make enough budget preparations. After you are done, I will come to you to charge you. ] Rogge smiled meaningfully.
Lin Mo raised his eyebrows and understood the meaning of Rogge's words almost instantly.
[Isn’t it true? Can the queen of the afterlife give credit to a pawn like me now? Aren't you afraid that I won't be able to come up when everyone is gone? ] He tried to joke.
[Boy, you don’t have to pretend to be ignorant. You and I both know the risks of this matter. Regardless of whether it succeeds or not, as long as this matter makes a big enough fuss, you will be a legend... I will sell Future Legend to save face. Why not? 】 Rogge saw this and said clearly.
Lin Mo's smile faded slightly and his tone became darker:
[Yeah, Legend, if I really become like that, you won't be able to come to me to collect money. In other words, I have to live to pay you. 】
[Well, that’s the thing. If you die in obscurity, then I will forget that such an overestimating kid came to me to buy information. If you die in a spectacular way, I will also remember it. There was such a brave young man who came to me once...] Rogge said with profound meaning.
[Oh, in your eyes, I am already a dying person, right? ] Lin Mopi said with a smile.
[No, that's not the case, kid, I really hope you are alive, so that there won't be another extremely expensive wine on the wine list in my bar] Roger teased.
[This matter will never be my end. We will have more cooperation opportunities in the future. I hope you can understand, Rogge, this is just the beginning. 】Lin Mo said calmly:
【......I am waiting. 】The final reply came from the other end of the phone.
The call was eventually hung up.
Lin Mo's eyes dimmed, and the expression on his face returned to calm.
"Ms. Rogge's phone number?" Kitagawa asked.
"Yes, it's her." Lin Mo said.
"How much time do we have to prepare?"
"At least three days."
"Mr. Lin, is there anything else you need to prepare?" Kitagawa Hao asked thoughtfully.
"Everything that needs to be prepared has been prepared, and those who need to talk have finished talking. Now, everything is settled." Lin Mo looked deeply at the bouquet in his hand.
