Part-time bodyguard

Chapter 420: Meeting (Part )

Duanmu of the Knights of the Order was not restricted by anyone and could do whatever he wanted. But President Duanmu was different. If he did not do well, he would be despised and driven out of office, which was something that Duanmu, who was very concerned about his reputation, could not tolerate.

Cui Jian knew Duanmu well enough that if he really became president, he would definitely be the kind of president who would go down in history. He would not hesitate to start World War III. But on the surface, he would definitely be more amiable and friendly than any other president.

Luke said: "Duanmu, the situation is very simple now. Either you use the three conditions to exchange for what you want. Or we will become dust together."

Cui Jian suggested: "Can I go out first?"

"No." Luke looked at Cui Jian: "You are the one who is most likely to cause trouble. If it weren't for you, things wouldn't have become so complicated. Compared to Duanmu, sometimes I hate you more."

Duanmu asked: "Did you authorize the assassination of Zhou Bao?"

Luke: "I asked him to assassinate you, not to play the Zhoubao game. You were already a strong suspect at the time, but I could never make a conclusion."

Duanmu said: "So you decided to use Feidi, this useless person, to replace me?"

Luke sighed: "Yes, for this reason I gave him the final right of action of Ghost 03. He is still making trouble." Luke looked at Cui Jian again.

Cui Jian smiled and said, "Thank you for the compliment. You can place an order with Dayin Security if you need it in the future."

Duanmu waved his hand and told him to go aside, and asked: "Was the car rollover in Osaka an accident?" The car rollover caused Zhaozi to be seriously injured.

Luke said angrily, "Ask your Dolan."

Duanmu shrugged and said, "Luke, can you tell me about your values? You always say that you are loyal to the United States and very patriotic. Now Green can represent Washington, and he thinks I can take your position, so why are you unwilling?"

Luke replied: "I don't want to discuss this anymore. To show your sincerity, I'll give you ten minutes to complete the first condition: send all the real information of the cyborg to an email address. If you don't receive the email within ten minutes, we'll go to see God together."

Duanmu Xiao asked: "You have done so many bad things, how can you see God?"

Luke didn't respond, and said, "The timer starts."

The female doctor put a pocket watch on the table.

Duanmu asked: "You don't have a mobile phone with you, how can you know if the email is authentic?"

Luke replied: "That's none of your business."

Cui Jian lowered his head and whispered in Duanmu's ear: "His is an electric wheelchair, equipped with a vibrator or something like that."

Duanmu kept smiling, tilted his head and whispered in Cui Jian's ear: "You don't need to use your brain for now, thank you."

After Duanmu finished speaking, he crossed his arms, crossed his legs, looked at Luke quietly, and said, "Cui Jian, help me get my phone."

Cui Jian asked: "Aren't you afraid that I will run away?"

Duanmu was speechless: "I asked you to get your phone, why did you run? Do you have a pig brain?"

Although he was scolded, he had to admit that Duanmu had some truth in what he said. Cui Jian didn't even look at Luke, but walked directly to the door and opened the door of the conference room. Two of Luke's bodyguards stood at the door, and Gui Yi was also nearby.

Gui Yi raised her head as a greeting. Cui Jian closed the door, nodded to Gui Yi, walked to Gui Yi, and took Duanmu's phone from the basket: "The meeting will take a long time. You should go back and catch up on your sleep. You have to work late tonight."

Gui Yi wanted to say that he was in good spirits, but Cui Jian frowned and looked at him fiercely. Gui Yi nodded immediately: "Okay."

Cui Jian took out his cell phone and turned around to knock on the door. The female doctor opened the door, went into the conference room and closed the door. Cui Jian put the cell phone in front of Duanmu.

Duanmu turned the phone in his hand, but never dialed. Luke was not in a hurry and reminded: "Eight minutes left."

Duanmu finally made up his mind and said, "Luke, I can agree to your last two conditions. I can let the Knights bear the infamy because the Knights do have business dealings with the Seven Killers. But I cannot agree to your first condition. Giving you this information is equivalent to launching the Manhattan Project. I believe that there will be people or countries who will complete research in this area in the future, but I cannot catalyze this result."

Duanmu: "The Manhattan Project produced the atomic bomb, then the hydrogen bomb, and later many nuclear bombs. Publishing this information is no different from nuclear competition. People may not use it, but they will study it. The power of the country will bring about a qualitative change in this information."

Duanmu: "Maybe the future is a cyber world, but I don't want to be the beginning of everything."

Duanmu: "So I will never agree to the first condition. If you don't want to negotiate, please do as you please."

Luke didn't respond immediately. He turned his head to the female doctor and said, "Water."

The female doctor opened the water on the table, took out a straw and put it into the bottle, and then put the straw to Luke's mouth. Luke held the small ball in his left hand, drank the water, and kept looking at Duanmu. He was trying to tell whether Duanmu was a coward. As an intelligence officer, he did not think Duanmu was a person who had a sense of right and wrong.

Compared with the lives of all human beings, many people will still firmly choose their own lives. Add to that their parents, wives and children, and even more people will choose to abandon other human beings. Are there people who choose to sacrifice themselves to save humanity? Yes, there are quite a few, but Duanmu should not be such a person.

A noble person should be the kind of person who does the most work, gets the least money, sheds blood and tears silently without saying a word. This is definitely not someone like Duanmu.

But Luke thought Duanmu was not lying, because the Knights always have a bottom line, although the bottom line is not very high, but there is a bottom line after all. Even the Seven Killers have a rule that minors will not be killed. Compared with the real villains, they are quite kind.

Luke said, "Okay, I accept."

Duanmu said: "Thank you."

Luke said, "Next we need to record your statement. You need to explain in detail what you know about the Knights and the Seven Killers."

Duanmu said: "You just said three conditions in exchange for what I want?"

Luke: “Now that’s two.”

Duanmu: "But if I agree to your second condition, recording the confession, then I won't be able to get your position. Washington will never allow a person who has been held hostage by others to hold such an important position. Right, Green."

Green sighed, "Yes."

Duanmu looked at Luke seriously and said, "So I can't agree to your second condition either."

Luke asked angrily, "Are you kidding me? Or do you think I wouldn't dare to crush the remote?"

Duanmu: "No, I'm serious. I really appreciate what Cui Jian said: Sometimes our lives are not that valuable."

Cui Jian: "Thank you." Duanmu: "Please don't come out yet."

Cui Jian: “Okay.”

Duanmu said: "Luke, I can let you, Fidi, Xingye, and your family go. We can pretend that nothing happened just now."

Luke sneered: "It seems that you don't understand my determination."

Duanmu Xue sneered: "It seems that you don't understand my IQ. I bet now that your bomb cannot be detonated. If I lose, we will die. If I win, your three families will be wiped out. I know you will think, since I can be sure that the bomb cannot be detonated, why should I give you a chance to live? There is only one reason, I hope everyone can handle the matter decently."

Luke remained silent.

Duanmu looked at the ball in Luke's left hand and asked, "Should I pinch it or not?"

Cui Jian added: "That's a problem."

Duanmu turned around to look at Cui Jian, and Cui Jian looked at the ceiling.

Seeing the two people's attitude, Luke's heart began to waver, mainly because the two young people were too calm. On the other hand, Green and the other three were so frightened that they kept swallowing their saliva. Cui Jian and Duanmu's attitudes were very similar to his and the female doctor's. The reason why he and the female doctor were so calm was because they were mentally prepared and came with the determination to die.

Duanmu looked directly at Luke, and a contemptuous aura of the new wave, the upstarts, and the confidence struck Luke's soul: "To gamble or not?"

Cui Jian interrupted again: "He will definitely gamble?"

Duanmu was very interested: "Why?"

Cui Jian: "Assuming the bomb can still explode, there is nothing to say. The key is what will happen if the bomb breaks down? He didn't gamble, which seemed to be the right thing to do, but he would be bothered by the fact that he lost his courage. He gambled, at least he still had the courage to gamble, and he was still a hero."

Duanmu said: "But the hero and his students disappeared in the long river of history, without even a chance to turn the tables."

Cui Jian said: "If he wants to turn the tables, he can only choose not to gamble. Even if the bomb is fine and we are all dead, the Knights will not let their people go."

Duanmu nodded slowly: "The question now is whether he wants to give himself a chance to turn the tables. However, if the bomb is fine and he raises the white flag to surrender, isn't that the same as the clown?"

Cui Jian laughed: "For someone as accomplished as him, does he still care about being a clown?"

Duanmu asked: "So do you think he will gamble or not?"

Luke had to admit one thing, Duan Cui was right, as long as he chose to gamble, he and his students would never have a chance to turn the tables. But he couldn't give up. Although he was shaken, he still believed that Duanmu was blackmailing him.

But this is not the point. The point is that he had previously kicked the ball to Duanmu: Do you agree to my terms? Duanmu now kicked the ball back to him: Do you want to bet?

Luke realized that he had made a big mistake: he should not have pointed out the fact that he was not a patient just for the sake of momentum. If he was really a terminally ill patient with only a few months to live, Duanmu would not dare to be so arrogant.

Luke spoke slowly: "A thing has already been done, and no matter whether it is right or wrong, it must be done. I am not dragging you to hell with me, but dragging the Knights to hell with me. People like Dolan are very good at fighting for Dolly. Although you are just a puppet, without you, the Knights will have no core, and within five years, they will inevitably perish."

Luke looked at Duanmu: "Three conditions, whether you agree or not, YES or NO, I just need an accurate answer."

Duanmu looked Luke in the eye and answered, "NO."

As soon as he finished speaking, Cui Jian suddenly opened fire, and the bullet passed through Luke's palm, and the black ball fell on the table. Cui Jian made a beautiful leap and caught the black ball in his hand.

The next second, Cui Jian saw Luke’s mocking expression, and his heart skipped a beat: I’m going to die, I’m going to die.

Cui Jian's actions made Luke understand everything. Duanmu was just bluffing. And that big fool, did he really think he could take control of the bomb?

Luke said viciously: "Go to hell."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a continuous dripping sound from the black briefcase. It only took a second or two for the sound to change from gentle to urgent. Everyone's blood pressure rose along with the sound.

Cui Jian cursed helplessly: "Fuck."

The sound reached its climax, then there was a bang, a small sound, and a puff of smoke rose from the bag.

Duanmu picked up the half-smoked cigar on the table, lit it slowly, and sighed, "Why doesn't anyone believe me?"

Cui Jian wiped the sweat from his palms onto his clothes: This idiot knew that Luke would bring a bomb to force the emperor to abdicate, but he didn't inform me. His abomination is beyond description by human adjectives.

Duanmu said, "Luke, take care of your wound first." with the tone of a winner.

Duanmu looked back at Cui Jian: "Why are you so anxious?" Why shoot? No brains.

Cui Jian asked: "When did you know?"

Duanmu said: "Didn't you find a flaw in the assassination in Hancheng? Xingye issued a bounty order, and the mysterious sword butterfly rescued Luke who was imprisoned by Xingye. Luke asked Xingye to return to Tokyo. Before returning to Tokyo, Xingye told the middleman that he would contact him to cancel the bounty order and asked him not to take the call seriously. Then I continued to be hunted down."

Duanmu said: "The above has already shown that the person who wants to kill me is Luke, not Xingye."

Cui Jian thought for a while: "Why?"

Duanmu said: "If Luke really had the power to suppress Xingye, Xingye would not have pretended to obey. If Luke did not have the power to suppress Xingye, Xingye would not have gone to Tokyo in the first place. They failed to capture me in the first wave, and we retreated to the safe house, so they could only act to trick me out. Unexpectedly, they still failed to capture me in the second wave, so they could only put the blame on Xingye. Under such circumstances, Luke agreed to talk with me and said there was nothing fishy. Who would believe it? However, I did not expect that he would misunderstand that I was the captain."

"Oh!" I don't care whether you are the captain or not. Cui Jian asked, "How did you do that?"

Duanmu thought for a while and said, "It's none of your business."

Cui Jian tasted something else and started thinking. He said, "If you want to do something, you have to touch the bag. Given their alertness, it is usually difficult to do it. There are security guards outside. The flaw is that you are very generous. You rented both sets of apartments. You can take advantage of this. But there are only a few of us around you. Who should you let do it? Take stock of our bodyguards... Eh? I found a brother with golden light among us: Golden Eagle."

Cui Jiandao: "Jin Ying was originally Li Jie's bodyguard leader, and later went to Meihua Island to be the security supervisor. After the Meihua Island tragedy, he lost his job. Then an interesting thing happened. At the meeting before the League Cup, you recommended Jin Ying to Li Ran and the Diu team."

Duanmu waved his hand impatiently and said, "Stop talking and go outside to deal with it."

"Tsk!" Cui Jian opened the door of the conference room, drew his gun and controlled the two unsuspecting bodyguards, took away their weapons, and shouted Diudiu's name. Diudiu quickly led people to the scene.
