Cyberpunk: From Dogville to Legend

Chapter 69 Wealth [Please continue reading]

Lin Yue watched the two people kissing each other by the bridge with a complicated expression. Rebecca sat in the passenger seat with her arms crossed, turning her head slightly to pretend she didn't see them.

Lin Yue swallowed hard, looking at Dorio's strong, muscular arms. If she were holding him like that, he'd probably be strangled to death. But Mann seemed to be enjoying it, completely absorbed. He scratched his head and muttered to himself, "What's going on between them...?"

Rebecca said thoughtfully, "In a public place... this is the first time!"

Lin Yuebai was worried. Mann told him that he hung up the phone at the bridge. The speed at which he hung up the phone almost made Lin Yuebai think that something had happened. So he drove his V car here without stopping. He didn't expect to run into the two of them getting closer... Sigh.

Never mind, it's good that nothing happened.

Lin Yue simply lay down in the driver's seat and waited for the two to finish their heartfelt conversation. This was exactly the same as he remembered. Dorio and Mann had long been in love with each other, and Lin Yue felt like an old father watching his children get married.

[Caller: Angie]

Lin Yue connected his phone to the brain-computer interface, and the call was put on silent.

Angie said in a relaxed tone, "Mr. Lin, everything is over... That guy from Dogtown sent a new, unheard-of person, I heard he even damaged his brain with drugs."

Lin Yue also breathed a sigh of relief. "You need to carefully review the accounts, including the Netherhound and other items. For the prosthetic body business, you can contact the distributor I recommended to you—don't ask where he came from, just tell him that I recommended him to you."

As they were talking, Lin Yue gave Angie Earlmer's contact information.

Angie asked somewhat nervously, "Mr. Rin... how should we divide it?"

Seeing that Lin Yue remained silent, Anqi quickly continued, "Please don't misunderstand, Mr. Lin. I've reviewed all the accounts today, and two-thirds of the business is in your hands. The monthly income is over 2.2 million euros, and I've already sent you the financial statements. The border checkpoints will take about 20% of the final profits, and there's also the channel into Dogtown..."

"Hmm." Lin Yue listened to An Qi's detailed report, and his heart was already surging with emotions.

This move was brilliant; they made money hand over fist, pure and simple profiteering!

Hanz's losses are estimated to be substantial.

As Angie's prosthetic body business takes off, the profits will only increase.

So, am I a businessman or a middleman now? No wonder Hanz transferred 100,000 euros in cash. Lin Yue, who had no idea about these amounts, thought 100,000 was a lot. If he had known, he should have asked for several hundred thousand to rip him off!
"Give the Ghost Hound's account to Hanz; he needs to give him an explanation. The rest is under your control. I'll send a mercenary to find you later." Lin Yue felt it was better to review it personally.

"The final amount for you and the Animal Gang this month is around 400,000. Do you want to transfer all of this to your account?" Angie asked tentatively.

Lin Yue refused. "What, you're giving it all to me? Are you all just going to eat nothing this month? You know very well how your subordinates treated you this time—you have to show enough sincerity when it's time to reward them. Recruiting also requires money and resources... What do you say?"

Angie's voice suppressed surprise. She had been prepared to go hungry to serve this powerful figure, but she hadn't expected him to leave her an out. "You... uh, no, I mean, how much will you give me?"

Lin Yue said in a calm tone, "We currently have 400,000 in the account. Let's raise the initial price to 200,000. The rest is yours; you also need some start-up capital and connections. Don't thank me yet; I need to explain a few things to you."

"First, this doesn't mean I'm completely out of control of the accounts. Someone will come to check... but I hope you'll be self-disciplined, understand? I can promote you, and I can bring you down, but I won't interfere with how you go about your career path or what you do."

Angie replied confidently, "Understood!"

"Second, expand your network. I need to know most things in Taipingzhou. You can think of it as an intelligence network. These things shouldn't be a problem for you animal gangs who fight for food on the streets, right? I also need your people to promote my role as the middleman. Note, not Dogtown, but Taipingzhou."

He wasn't so suicidal as to let the colonel know that there was someone under his throne who was kicking Hans out of the game.

Angie laughed and said, "As long as it happens in Taipingzhou, I can guarantee that I can find out for you how much security X was used at Taipingzhou Bar tonight."

Lin Yue sighed. "Third, help my mercenaries find a relatively large place to stay in Dogtown. You handle that yourself; the money will be deducted from next month's profits."

Angie nodded on the other end, "Okay, boss."

[Balance: €520000]

Two hundred thousand euros entered Lin Yue's account, and seeing such a large amount of wealth, he already had a plan in mind.

V is right, Mann's squad is indeed only average, but that doesn't mean there's no room for improvement. There are still many things that can be done—such as having them receive systematic training from the company's soldiers. This way, many mishaps caused by insufficient capabilities can be made up for.

"Lin Yue, where's Pila?"

Lin Yue was lost in thought about what to do next when Rebecca suddenly asked him a question.

"What about the prosthetic doctor in Dogtown... Don't worry, he's fine."

Rebecca gritted her teeth. "I don't care if he's alright or not, but why doesn't he come to me?"

Lin Yue's left eyelid twitched. If he told Rebecca Pila's words, "It's no use me going if I die," along with her nonchalant waving and turning her back, it might... make this little lady completely explode.

"I guess they're too scared. After all, people have the ability to deceive their own brains; the more they dare not accept a result, the more they want to escape it."

Lin Yue gave himself a thumbs up. How could he say something so cheesy?

Rebecca scoffed, "Who will die first is still uncertain!"

Lin Yue wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "You two siblings, go ahead and mess with me. Who can beat you two?"

Mann and Dorio finished their "confessions" while they were talking; they really know how to eat! And this was on the street!

Lin Yue turned on the car lights and shone them around. The two men, covered in fresh wounds, sat down in the back seats.

"Did you guys get into a fight with Cyber ​​Madman?" Lin Yue said half-jokingly.

To my surprise, Dorio looked serious. "Yes, Lin Yue, that cyber lunatic is in the prosthetic clinic. Almost everyone's been killed. Mann and I were hiding in the prosthetic doctor's cold storage—damn... if the NCPD hadn't broken in, we would have been done for."

Lin Yue and Rebecca exchanged a glance, and even they felt a chill run down their spines.

Mann had been sitting silently since getting into the car, his arms propped on his thighs. He suddenly asked, "Lin Yue, is that doctor you know in Chinatown reliable?"

Lin Yue nodded. If Old Wei is unreliable, who else in Night City is reliable?

"Yeah, what's wrong?"

Mann smiled. "Thank you for healing Rebecca's arm."

Rebecca chuckled and pointed at Mann with her mechanical finger, "Yo~yo~yo~ How about that, pretty cool, right!"

Mann grinned and joined Rebecca in the commotion.

Lin Yue and Dorothy smiled, and the car slowly started, heading towards the end of the fog-shrouded highway in Night City...
