Part-time bodyguard

Chapter 417 Interlude
Shengzi asked about Yuetu, and Cui Jian told him what happened while eating.

Shengzi expressed his own opinion: "Ye Lan and Yueqi are different. On the one hand, as the two-headed dog said, you are not the highest in her heart. Not to mention career, family and relatives are more important than you. On the other hand, Yuetu's death was humiliating, and your death... you know, at least she will not be ashamed of you."

Shengzi's expression became serious, and he said, "But if you decide to marry her, you should choose to retire. There are many reasons, and the most important one is similar to the butler. The reason why we invest so much energy and financial resources to keep the butler alive is not because the butler can create value for Qi Sha, but because it is a belief. You can retire at the peak of your career and leave behind a legendary story."

Cui Jian was puzzled: "I'm a legend?"

Shengzi said: "According to incomplete statistics, you are already the killer with the most kills among the Seven Killers, and this is not counting the number of kills you made when you were not the Seven Killers."

Cui Jian said: "This is nothing to be proud of."

Shengzi agreed: "Yes, I support your decision anyway. You just said that the wedding date may be set two years after Ye Lan gets her doctorate. Two years later, a 17-year-old boy will take over your position."

Cui Jian recalled the past: "17 years old... I officially debuted at the age of 18." At the age of 17, he was still an intern.

Shengzi said: "By then I can become a mature hellhound."

Cui Jiandao: "Compared to when you first took office, you have changed a lot. But are you sure you have always lived in Xifeng Mountain?"

Shengzi nodded: "Life is simple here."

Cui Jian did not try to persuade her. He did not know Shengzi's past. He thought that as long as he liked her, it was fine.

Cui Jian said: "If you are bored, you can get in touch with the two-headed dog and Yiyi on the Internet."

Shengzi said, "Sister Yiyi introduced me to the Riot Organization, where I met a lot of people. By the way, you are going to Mumbai. Did you know that there is a permanent Seven Kills in New Delhi, India?"

Cui Jian nodded: "I know, little Shuiyao." Shuiyao took office two years ago and is a rare female killer among the Seven Killers.

Shengzi said, "Shuiyao and I graduated at about the same time. Our final exam is for the two of us to work together to deal with a targeted population buyer." People who specialize in finding prey for the rich and powerful. Some rich and powerful are very picky, not only have requirements for age, hair color, pupils, weight, skin, but even the width of eyebrows. However, it is not a spur-of-the-moment idea, because beauty pageants around the world are playing with data.

Cui Jian asked: "What was the result?"

Shengzi replied: "It went very smoothly." Most of the non-target kills were due to a one-time incident and were carried out after application and approval.

Shengzi added: "She is really an amazing young lady, I like her so much."

Cui Jian nodded: "Okay, I will convey your love."

Shengzi said anxiously: "Don't talk nonsense."

Cui Jian just laughed it off.

……

There was a problem with the itinerary on the second day. The direct flight was cancelled due to a malfunction. We had to either fly to Mumbai from other cities or to other cities in India. After contacting Yun Xueshan, he moved the afternoon trip to Mumbai to the morning, and the private plane was waiting for us in Busan.

As the project team leader, Diudiu went to the semi-partitioned office area to express his gratitude to Yun Xueshan as soon as he got on the computer. Yun Xueshan asked everyone to feel free and he continued the conference call.

Five hours later, the plane landed and the Mumbai security company sent a nine-seater car to pick us up. We did not eat first, but went to handle the formalities first. Only after the formalities were completed could we make an appointment for psychological, physical and other examinations tomorrow.

Xiao Meng is the 'local guide' of this project. He is the deputy director of logistics of the Mumbai security company. He will accompany the Dayin Security team throughout the entire process and will try his best to meet the needs of Dayin Security employees.

I went through the formalities, checked into the hotel, and had dinner. On the second day, I underwent a mental and physical health check, and on the third day, I got a gun license from Mumbai Security. This gun license can only be used to obtain firearms from Mumbai Security.

Xiao Meng has already planned a travel route for the next few days. Cui Jian doesn't like group tours, so he declined the offer and would rather stay in the hotel and watch TV.

In the evening, Cui Jian went out for some activities and first walked around the hotel. He did not find any followers or suspicious persons. Then he went to the hotel's performance restaurant. Xiao Meng had reserved a seat for him in advance. Tonight there would be not only magic shows but also Bollywood singing and dancing performances.

However, the seat Xiao Meng reserved was quite ordinary. It was not only far from the stage, but also partially blocked by a pillar. Cui Jian was in a good mood and said it was okay for the waiter to apologize. His purpose of coming out today was to observe whether there were any suspicious people around him. If someone wanted to harm Duanmu, they would probably pay attention to him and arrange for someone to approach him.

Just after we ordered the dishes, a man came forward and said, "Mr. Cui, Miss Yun is in front. She said that if you don't mind, we can eat together."

Cui Jianxian despised himself, his level had dropped significantly. He came out with the intention of looking for suspicious people, but did not realize that Yun Xueshan was also in the restaurant.

Cui Jian called the waiter, explained the situation, and went to Table 5 with the bodyguard.

Table 5 has already had a few dishes, quite exquisite Indian food, completely different from the Indian food Cui Jian had eaten on the street. With Cui Jian's appetite, he would rather eat on the street. There were four thumb-sized cakes on a plate, not enough for Cui Jian to swallow in one bite, and there was even a knife and fork, which meant that he had to cut the cakes before eating?

When Yun Xueshan saw Cui Jian, he stood up politely to greet him. Cui Jian smiled and said hello: "Hi."

Yun Xueshan tried to force a smile, but she hadn't smiled in many years. She nodded and said, "Please sit down. It's too lonely to eat and watch a show alone. Would it be too presumptuous to ask you to have dinner with me?"

"Of course not." He should have said that he was honored, but Cui Jian always felt that it was awkward to say this to Yun Xueshan, so he just replied casually.

Yun Xueshan called the waiter over and asked Cui Jian to order some more dishes. Seeing the dishes on the table, Cui Jian intuitively felt the amount of food, so he didn't hesitate. After ordering, Cui Jian didn't see Yun Xueshan's assistant or bodyguards around, so he asked. Yun Xueshan told Cui Jian that generally bodyguards would stand on their left and right, but because this is a performance restaurant, standing bodyguards would affect other guests' viewing. So a side hall was specially arranged, where bodyguards and their entourage could eat and watch the real-time performance on the big screen.

After Yun Xueshan's introduction, Cui Jian learned that the performance restaurant only accepts reservations, and only guests staying at the hotel can make reservations. The hotel is very clear about the information of the guests, including which country they are from and their passport numbers, so there is no need to worry about someone making trouble inside, and there is basically no security problem.

Cui Jian asked curiously, "Don't you eat with your assistants and bodyguards?"

Yun Xueshan asked back: "Do you like having dinner with your boss?"

Cui Jian answered affirmatively: "I like it."

Yun Xueshan patted his head, forgetting the relationship between him and his boss, and explained: "They prefer to eat buffet in the side hall. They have accompanied me running around these days, and today is a day off for them. Unless there is a work need, I don’t like to eat with my subordinates. Whether it’s an employee’s birthday or a wedding, as long as I show up, they will treat me as the protagonist." Cui Jian seemed to understand: "That’s why you are known as the cold-faced young lady."

Yun Xueshan said: "This name was given by the Yun family. Many people call it the Cold-Faced Rakshasa."

Cui Jian: "Not really, not really. You are very beautiful and you have a very gentle personality."

Yun Xueshan was a little surprised: "How do you know I have a gentle personality?"

Cui Jian: "Ye Lan said so."

Yun Xueshan: "Thank you. You two have a good relationship. Have you ever considered getting married?"

Cui Jian: “Of course.”

Yun Xueshan: "But you are currently working in a high-risk job."

Cui Jian: “What?”

Yun Xueshan thought for a while and said, "Unexpected events may happen. If you leave one day, wouldn't that be irresponsible?"

Cui Jian replied: "No, my death will not affect her normal work and life."

Yun Xueshan wanted to talk more, but thought it was a bit over the line, so she started talking about food. This touched on Cui Jian's interest, and the two of them talked and asked and answered questions, and there was no dull moment. An hour later, the lights dimmed, and the host took the stage, and then there was a two-and-a-half-hour performance.

The third show was acrobatics, which was thrilling to the audience. When it got to the best part, even the waiters would stop to watch for a while. In the dark, a man entered the side hall and walked through the door into the performance restaurant. He was very short and walked through without attracting anyone's attention.

Cui Jian discovered him when he stabbed Yun Xueshan with the sharp blade in his hand.

Yun Xueshan sat in the main seat, slightly to the right of the stage, Cui Jian was on Yun Xueshan's left, and the attacker appeared on Yun Xueshan's right. Cui Jian reached out and grabbed Yun Xueshan's collar, pulling her into his arms, causing her to lose balance and fall to the ground together.

The man missed the first strike, and immediately stepped forward, holding the sharp blade and stabbing Yun Xueshan in the back. Cui Jian supported himself with his right hand, exerted force on the left side of his body, pushed Yun Xueshan off his body, and kicked the man's arm with his left foot.

The man staggered to the side and took two steps, then rushed towards Yun Xueshan again. Cui Jian had bought time, and easily grasped the wrist and back of the man's knife-holding hand. With a force, the bones made a sound, and the sharp blade in the man's hand fell to the ground.

The man punched Cui Jian, but Cui Jian grabbed his fist. Cui Jian didn't use any ruthless force, because he found that the man was just an ordinary person, so he kicked the man down and pinned him to the ground.

The lights came on and the security guard at the door came running. Although he didn't know what was going on, he immediately took control of the man after seeing his attire.

Yun Xueshan was still sitting on the ground. She was hit on the head by Cui Jian's knee. She was still a little confused and didn't know what happened. Cui Jian stepped forward to look at Yun Xueshan's pupils, and put one hand on her back to let her stand up and sit on the chair. The waiter brought ice water as Cui Jian requested, and the bodyguards from the side hall arrived. After a brief discussion, they sent Yun Xueshan to the hospital.

Cui Jian felt somewhat guilty and did not follow. He knew that his knee had hit Yun Xueshan's head when he kicked her, which caused Yun Xueshan to have a slight concussion.

This incident was no big deal for Cui Jian, but he didn't expect that an hour later, the headline of Yun Xueshan's foreign lover appeared on a Korean news website. This was not a big deal, and the innocent were innocent. But it was not the case for Ye Lan. She couldn't ask Cui Jian directly, so she contacted Yun Xueshan's assistant in the name of concern. She was somewhat unhappy to learn that Yun Xueshan and Cui Jian had dinner and watched performances together.

After seeing the photo of the two people lying on the ground on the news website, Ye Lan couldn't stand it anymore and contacted Cui Jian. Cui Jian didn't take it seriously, explained the situation frankly, and told Ye Lan some of the things he knew when he was taking the statement.

The Yun family owns a fairly large media company in Mumbai. There have been problems within the company recently, with several female anchors suing the company's executives, who in turn sued them for blackmail. As the company is about to go public, Yun Xueshan came to Mumbai to deal with the matter.

Yun Xueshan is not Yun Bao Gong, she is a Yun businessman, she did not enforce the law impartially, but used relatively gentle means to solve the problem from the perspective of maximizing the company's interests. To put it bluntly, it is to let the company use money to keep silent. One of the female anchors was a thorn, and she was determined not to reconcile. Then last night, the female anchor disappeared on the way to see a lawyer. This morning, the police found the female anchor's body.

This is why the female anchor's father assassinated Yun Xueshan. Ye Lan believed that Yun Xueshan didn't know about this matter, and she would not dirty her hands for such a small amount of money and things. It must have been done by the senior executives.

But Ye Lan didn't care about the whole story. The question she was thinking about now was: Why did you stay in the same hotel? Why did you eat alone? Why did you stay alone in the hotel? Was the show difficult to watch? If the show was exciting, why could you notice the murderer in the dark? Were you watching him the whole time? Otherwise, how could you shoot accurately?
The next day, Ye Lan flew to Mumbai to visit Yun Xueshan. She was convinced that Yun Xueshan must have taken the initiative and Cui Jian must have been forced to have dinner with Yun Xueshan for her sake.

This trip was not in line with Ye Lan's identity, but Ye Lan still went on this trip. When meeting Yun Xueshan, Ye Lan tactfully asked if she had a good relationship with Cui Jian. Yun Xueshan immediately denied it, saying that they were in the honeymoon period of their cooperation, so how could they turn against each other because of a stinky man? However, there were many things that were unclear, such as Yun Xueshan's initiative to invite Cui Jian to dinner, which was very un-Yun Xueshan.

With the spirit of putting business first, Yun Xueshan told Ye Lan the secret without hesitation: she was Cui Jian's half-sister.

Ye Lan recalled the past. Two years ago, Yun Xinyue suspected that Cui Jian was her child, so with her help, she did a DNA test at Ye Family Hospital, and the result denied their mother-son relationship. Now that she thought about it, Yun Xinyue had done a lot of manipulation during that time, using her identity and hiding it from herself to let the person in charge tamper with the DNA report.

At that time, I told this story to Master Ye as a joke. Now that I think about it, Yun Xinyue already knew Cui Jian's identity, so she used this excuse to get close to Cui Jian. However, Cui Jian resisted and doubted her, so Yun Xinyue used the excuse that she thought Cui Jian was her child, and finally denied this suspicion through genetic testing.

Since then, Yun Xinyue has rarely had contact with Cui Jian, and there has been almost no contact in the past six months.

Why didn’t they contact each other? Yun Xueshan’s answer surprised Ye Lan. They were actually worried that Cui Jian might kill Yun Xinyue if he knew the truth.

Will it? Ye Lan thought it was a complete fantasy, and she suggested to explain everything to Cui Jian.

Yun Xueshan told Ye Lan a bigger secret. They finally found Cui Jian's adoptive parents based on the transaction records of the early years. The reason why they believed Cui Jian would kill Yun Xinyue was that Cui Jian's adoptive parents were transnational professional killers. After checking the customs records, they found that Cui Jian had gone abroad many times with his adoptive parents when he was very young, and it was definitely not for tourism.

Combining Cui Jian’s resume as a four-star bodyguard revealed by the pile of bones, we can basically guess Cui Jian’s occupation after years: a professional killer.

Ye Lan knew Cui Jian's resume as the so-called Texas Grizzly Bear and that he had worked as a killer, so he was not surprised. Instead, he felt Cui Jian's unique and mysterious charm during his interactions with him. Moreover, considering Cui Jian's mental state, it was not dangerous to interact with him.

To Ye Lan, Yun Xueshan’s so-called big secret was not as shocking as the secret that they were siblings.

Ye Lan, based on her understanding of Cui Jian, told Yun Xueshan: "He doesn't care about your relationship with him. Even if you tell him, he won't have any emotional ups and downs. Instead, he will ask you: What next? What do you want to do? I will keep it a secret for you, but I still suggest you tell the truth. After all, this is Aunt Yun's concern."

Ye Lan said goodbye after she finished speaking. After learning the truth, she wanted to let the poor little thing feel the warm embrace of her sister.

But poor Cui Jian was not available. When Ye Lan called him, he was at the airport to pick up the plane and had officially started working on the project.
