Chapter 780! Qi Wei’s invitation
……
After an unknown amount of time, Rita woke up.
At this moment, the memory in her mind was still stuck on the time when Shen Ye said he would take her home.
At this moment, she felt as if there was someone sitting beside the bed.
"is it him?"
Thinking this in her heart, she opened her eyes with some anticipation, and the next second, her face was full of disappointment.
"Evelyn, why is it you?"
"Why can't it be me?" Evelyn said unhappily, "I've taken care of you for a long time, okay?"
Rita covered her heavy head and said puzzledly: "Didn't Shen send me back?"
"Yes, he sent you back, but he called me here later. For you, I didn't even go to Genting. I suffered a heavy loss, you know?" Evelyn complained, but there was no sadness in her tone, because Shen Ye gave her a generous sum of hard work money before leaving.
"Where is he now?" Rita continued to ask, not caring about Evelyn's loss.
"He left just now, right after I changed your clothes."
"Clothes..." Rita glanced down and immediately realized that she had changed into a set of more comfortable pajamas.
"He asked me to come here just to change your clothes." Evelyn shrugged: "This man is really something. He gave up such a good opportunity to have a deep communication with you. I have never seen such a stupid man."
"Because he's a good man," Rita said quickly.
Hearing this, Evelyn was stunned for a moment, then she laughed: "Yes, he is a good man, a rare good man in Night City. He doesn't mess around, doesn't take drugs, has a good temper, and treats people gently. To be honest, I think any woman would like him."
Rita nodded: "Yes! He is very attractive."
Then she sighed again: "I missed it again! If I hadn't been so drunk..."
"Next time!" Evelyn patted Rita's shoulder.
……
Downstairs of Rita's residence, after Shen Ye came out of the apartment and was about to stop a car on the side of the road, he saw Qi Wei smoking against the outer wall of the building not far away.
After being stunned for a moment, Shen Ye walked over and asked: "You haven't left yet?"
But Qi Wei asked back: "You won't stay?"
Shen Ye folded his arms and looked at her: "Why should I stay? I have someone to take care of her."
"Because she's drunk. Drunk women are the easiest to mess with. Besides, she has so many prosthetics on her body that they won't break no matter how you play with them." Qi Wei narrowed her eyes and a smile flashed across her eyes: "I don't think she will refuse."
Hearing this, Shen Ye was speechless, and then said unhappily: "I'm not a pervert."
But Qi Wei smiled and whispered: "Aren't you a pervert? A person without prosthetics can defeat a dozen prosthetic Tiger Claw members with bare hands. Even Black Hand Morgan is not as exaggerated as you."
It seems that Lucy filmed the process and sent it to her...
Shen Ye was not surprised at all that Qi Wei knew the situation at that time. She could be said to be Lucy's guide to becoming an edgewalker. However, he still deliberately showed a surprised expression: "How did you know?"
"It's a secret." Qi Wei said with her head slightly lowered, looking very mysterious.
Seeing her like this, Shen Ye wanted to laugh. He didn't expect that this cold and aloof sister also liked to act mysterious.
Then he said: "Since it's a secret, I won't ask any more questions... Come to think of it, you waited here just to tell me this, right?"
Qi Wei threw away the burnt cigarette butt, lit a new one, and then said: "I originally wanted to discuss something with you, but after thinking about it carefully, I felt that you didn't seem to be short of money, so I changed my purpose. Shen, are you interested in having another drink? I know you didn't enjoy yourself just now."
Speaking of which, Qiwei's purpose was very simple. Ever since she saw the video sent by Lucy, her first thought was to pull Shen Ye into the Mann team, to become an edgewalker, to become her companion, and then to use his power to make a lot of money. But considering that Shen Ye was not short of money, she felt that the success rate was very low, so she changed her mind.
Moreover, it is better to become friends than to become companions. A legendary strong man who treats everyone equally has only benefits in becoming his friend. It is better to find a way to build a good relationship with him.
This should be Qiwei’s current thought, at least that’s what she thinks now.
Shen Ye was a little surprised to hear Qi Wei actually invite him to drink, but he was not a big drinker, so he said: "Drink, but I've already drunk enough tonight..."
Having said this, Shen Ye paused, but did not continue.
Seeing this, Qi Wei looked at him sideways and asked: "So?"
"Let's find a place to eat something!" Shen Ye also looked at her with a squinting eye: "How is it? Is it okay?"
Qi Wei was silent for a while, and just when Shen Ye thought she would refuse, she nodded: "Okay, but I have to go back to my place to get something first."
"Do you want me to accompany you? Or should I wait for you here?" Qi Wei's residence was also near the Ritz Bar, so Shen Ye asked this.
However, after saying this, Shen Ye began to wait for Qi Wei to refuse. As a hacker, what he worried most was that his hiding place would be discovered. More than one hacker in Night City had been killed by Night City's Internet monitoring or AI after finding their real-life detailed addresses on the Internet.
But what surprised Shen Ye even more was that after another period of silence, Qi Wei actually agreed again.
"Come with me, and visit my house. But my place is nothing like yours, so I hope you don't mind."
Shen Ye raised his eyebrows and said, "Don't worry, I have suffered hardships before. I have lived in places worse than slums."
"Really... then it seems that you are more mysterious than I thought." Hearing this, Qi Wei looked at Shen Ye meaningfully, and then continued: "But I think there should be a chance to learn about your past in the future, so now... let's go."
"Okay!" Shen Ye shrugged.
To be honest, Qi Wei's place of residence was much closer than one might imagine. It didn't take long to reach her apartment, which was named Yeba.
Walking in from the main entrance, Shen Ye found that the environment inside was quite good, at least a little better than where Rita lived. Obviously, hacking could make more money than being a thug.
Following Qi Wei into the elevator, Shen Ye saw that the destination was the thirteenth floor. He immediately remembered the commentary he had read before... Qi Wei's living on the thirteenth floor meant that she would definitely betray Mann's team in the future. After all, in Western legends, the traitor Judas was the thirteenth person.
As if noticing Shen Ye's strange look, Qi Wei turned her head to glance at him and asked, "What's wrong?"
Shen Ye smiled and shook his head: "Nothing."
But he immediately added: "But as a friend, I have to remind you that the number thirteen is not auspicious. Have you ever thought about moving to the twelfth floor?"

(Sure enough, something happened at night...depressed)
