Part-time bodyguard

Chapter 436 Gap
What Cui Jian didn't expect was that in addition to him and Gui Yi, there were three other cars coming to pick them up at the airport. What he didn't expect was that the person leading the group was Bai Qi, who hadn't been heard from for a long time.

The two sides met outside the airport and after chatting with each other, Cui Jian learned that Bai Qi rejected the proposal of the manager of the international security company and instead chose to serve as the manager of the Hancheng branch. Hai Lan will become the deputy manager. After working under Bai Qi for a period of time, she will go to the head office to take up the position.

Currently, Bai Qi is the bodyguard of Duolan, Duanmu, Baide and Han Bao, that is, the bodyguard leader of the 16 bodyguards mentioned by Duanmu. They will accompany the VIP throughout their trip in Korea and Japan.

Cui Jian didn't know his job position for a while. He looked at the APP on his phone for a while, thought about the conversation with Duanmu, and then realized that his VIP was Duanmu. However, most of the four people had the same schedule, so Duanmu didn't explain it too clearly.

Cui Jian went to look at the bodyguards Bai Qi had brought with him. There were black, white and yellow. Each of them looked smart and capable. They had fewer standardized movements from military training and more flexible personalities.

After figuring out these things, Cui Jian was curious about one thing: How was Bai Qi, who had been living in seclusion, persuaded to come out of retirement? Judging from the nature of the Hancheng branch, Bai Qi did not join a security company, but joined the Knights.

After coming out of the VIP channel, the two sides met in the waiting room. Duanmu didn't seem to be in good health and was a little depressed, but when he saw Cui Jian, his eyes lit up and he looked at Cui Jian with disdain, "Can you buy a few decent suits?"

Cui Jian calmly replied: "If you buy such an expensive suit, it will be useless later."

Duanmu's eyelids jumped: "You are a jinx." Ignoring Cui Jian, he and Gui Yi politely hugged each other and walked out together, reminding: "I have a backpack with me." Two tactless people, who is your captain?
Gui Yi hurried forward to take the backpack. Before Duanmu got on the bus, he said to Duolan, "See you at dinner."

"See you at dinner."

The four cars were on the road, Gui Yi turned left and headed for the Quan Xia Hotel. Cui Jian, who was in the passenger seat, saw the three cars behind him turn right and asked, "What's going on?"

Duanmu closed his eyes, rubbed his eyebrows, and said, "He has a lunch party at noon."

Cui Jian said: "But he can't take all the bodyguards away. Wouldn't that increase my workload?"

Duanmu was speechless: "There are still 8 bodyguards in the hotel." He really didn't have the mood to argue, but when he heard Cui Jian's words, he couldn't help but argue: "Aren't you enough?"

Cui Jian laughed and did not answer. He asked, "By the way, how did you convince Bai Qi?"

Duanmu paused as he rubbed his brows. He did not answer and turned to look out the window: "I was shot many times this time."

Cui Jian was surprised: "Are you a ghost?"

Duanmu just wanted to change the subject, but he didn't expect to argue again, so he asked, "Do you think I look like you?"

Gui Yi rarely interrupted: "Duanmu, you seem to be worried."

Duanmu didn't answer, Cui Jian answered first: "If I don't have some worries now, I will be unworthy of my status."

Duanmu couldn't stand it anymore and kicked the passenger seat. Cui Jian turned around and glared at him, but Duanmu didn't respond and said, "I'm tired."

Cui Jian saw Duanmu like this, so he said nothing more, made a gesture to speed up, and quietly observed the situation in the co-pilot seat. This made Cui Jian very confused. Duanmu was not the first time to be shot. Even if he had just finished the operation not long ago, he could still be full of energy and fight with him for the spicy hot pot. Why did he look like a dead father today?
Cui Jian took out his phone and checked. His father was fine. It was strange. He had seen a ghost. It was possible that he recognized Yueyao, but it was also impossible. It was possible that Duanmu could recognize him. It was impossible that if Duanmu recognized him, he would drag his broken body from India to Hancheng and beat him half to death. It was absolutely impossible for him to endure for so long.

Duanmu: Can't it be jet lag? Can't it be lack of rest? Can't I be in a bad mood? Before you act self-righteous every day, drink enough water and calculate your brain capacity.

When they arrived at the hotel, the deputy bodyguard chief had already brought people to greet them at the hotel entrance. All the way to the guest room, Cui Jian was a little confused.

Duanmu's bedroom is a business luxury suite. The suite is quite large, but it only has one master bedroom and one auxiliary bedroom. Other facilities are very complete, including a study, sauna, and even a church.

Dolan's room is opposite and is also a business luxury suite. Unlike Duanmu's room, it has five bedrooms and fewer facilities.

Of course, the Duanmu Room is more comfortable to live in, but judging from the situation, it seems that only he and Gui Yi will live in the Duanmu Room, and the other bodyguards and staff will stay in the Duolan Room.

The first thing Duanmu did after arriving at the guest room was to take a shower. After coming out of the shower, he asked the bodyguard outside to contact the deputy chief bodyguard and ask them to help him buy a set of clothes. During this time, he ignored his two bodyguards.

Gui Yi stood straight, while Cui Jian sat on the sofa, watching Duanmu's performance and tilting his head: "He's going crazy."

Gui Yi expressed his doubt about Cui Jian's judgment with his eyes.

Cui Jiandao: "He is waiting for us to care about him."

Gui Yi continued to express his doubt, and then reminded with his eyes: Don’t say bad things about others within three meters of them.

Duanmu laughed, and sat down on the sofa, saying: "Gui Yi, get me a bottle of brandy, and then go to rest."

Gui Yi did as he was told and brought the brandy and two cups. Duanmu was dissatisfied: "Why two?"

Gui Yi didn't answer. He took a can of Coke from the small refrigerator and threw it to Cui Jian, then went back to the bedroom to sleep.

Cui Jian sat down, poured wine for Duanmu and Coke for himself, and asked, "What's going on?"

Duanmu paused for a moment, as if preparing his words, and said: "I don't like some of Dolan's methods." Although the world is big, it seems that this idiot is the only one who can speak.

Cui Jian: “For example?”

Duanmu: "For example, Bai Qi, he first created trouble for Bai Qi, and then helped Bai Qi solve the trouble, making Bai Qi realize that joining the Knights will avoid more troubles, and the Knights will not have too many restrictions on Bai Qi."

Cui Jiandao: "Is this the first day you met him?"

Duanmu: "Of course not, but his previous targets were mostly enemies, stumbling blocks, and opponents. Bai Qi is not an enemy, and he has done nothing wrong to the Knights. He chose to live in seclusion and will no longer have an impact on the Knights."

Cui Jiandao: "You can tell him that you don't like him doing this."

Duanmu said: "You know the situation of the Knights, there are some shady businesses."

Cui Jian: "You are too modest." Duanmu was angry, and then continued: "Many things require both good and bad guys, and the Knights also need people to do the dirty work. I am not against his conspiracies and schemes, on the contrary, I admire his ability to strategize. However, this is his first time..." Duanmu didn't know how to explain.

Cui Jian said: "You know Bai Qi, you admire Bai Qi, and you want to recruit Bai Qi, so you oppose Dulan's use of means to recruit Bai Qi. What if it was someone else you don't know? You would still admire Dulan's means. Not only did he recruit Bai Qi, but he also made Bai Qi grateful to the Knights."

Duanmu thought for a while and continued: "Although Baili Xiong betrayed the Knights, I personally respect his ideals."

Cui Jian said: "Don't tell me that Duolan wants to kill Baili Xiong, but you want to save Baili Xiong."

Duanmu said: "No, traitors are unforgivable. Even if I am God, I will not forgive the traitors who turned to the devil. What should have been solved by a bullet, the killer he sent used a bomb."

Cui Jian: “What’s the problem with that?” Our Huoyao plays with bombs.

Duanmu: "The problem is that the bomb was installed very cleverly, killing Baili Xiong's sister, her child, and his mother in the passenger seat. Only Baili Xiong was seriously injured but not dead. Traitors must die, so on the day Baili Xiong was discharged from the hospital and attended the funeral, he was assassinated. Afterwards, I questioned Duolan, and Duolan took me to a place where the assassin responsible for assassinating Baili Xiong was imprisoned. He said that he controlled the assassin at the first opportunity and left him to me to deal with."

Duanmu said: "The assassin is a member of the Knights. He told me that traitors cannot die too easily."

Cui Jian said: "Interesting, Dolan has given you a difficult problem."

Duanmu said: "As I was growing up, he always gave me difficult problems. He was training me in this way. He said that as a decision maker, I must start to learn to face some things head-on. Punishing the assassins will make the Knights feel disappointed. Not punishing the assassins will lower my bottom line."

Cui Jian said: "You have always enjoyed his training method, why do you feel uncomfortable only now?"

Duanmu recalled that he had been growing up for 30 years, dabbling in various industries and being free. Many plans of the Knights, such as the Dome Plan, were conceived by him. Dolan and his team implemented the plan, and everything should be fine. But as he grew up, Duanmu also discovered some problems.

For example, Duanmu's dome plan is A, which is to cooperate with Qi Sha underground. Dolan's dome plan is A+B, which is not only to cooperate with Qi Sha underground, but also to infiltrate Qi Sha and steal Qi Sha's secrets.

Duanmu's plan was to provide Qi Sha with a certain amount of weapons and funds, and Dolan did the same, but Dolan was more generous, so much so that he became the only source of funds and weapons for Qi Sha.

In summary, Dolan hid something very important from Duanmu, which was unacceptable to Duanmu as the leader of the Knights, so he began to re-examine the Knights. Three of the four Knights of the Round Table who managed the Knights were Dolan's juniors, and the youngest, Letty, was the daughter of Dolan's former partner.

Duanmu began to inquire about some things, such as Bai Qi's affairs. At first, Dolan did not admit it. He said that he sent someone to contact Bai Qi about being employed by an international security company, and learned about the troubles Bai Qi encountered, so he helped. Bai Qi expressed his gratitude and agreed to join the company and the Knights to obtain subsequent protection.

The actual situation was that Dolan had set up a trap. Enemies came to the door, and no matter what Bai Qi chose, he had to give up his retirement life. Dolan's people learned about this and offered to join the company for two years to help him settle the matter. Afterwards, Dolan apologized to Bai Qi and said that the two-year condition was invalid. He sent people to negotiate with Bai Qi's enemies, and the matter was basically settled. Bai Qi agreed to join the company to express his gratitude. Dolan casually mentioned that he might as well join the Knights. After two years, you can retire under the name of the Knights. As long as the Knights do not go bankrupt, you can live a quiet retirement life.

Bai Qi finally decided to join the Knights after learning that Duanmu had taken over the position of chief counsel and that the Knights could barely be considered to have an American background. There is an obligation to join the Knights: you must not betray the Knights for life, even if you retire, and you cannot join a hostile or competing group. There are many benefits, and there are many high-paying positions or short-term employment within the Knights.

Cui Jian asked: "Is it accumulated resentment or a new discovery?"

Duanmu replied: "I discovered it after I was about to take over as the chief consultant." Before that, Duanmu worked as a paparazzi and became a Tianxia. He also upgraded his bodyguard to one star and became well-known in the industry. His main job in the Knights was the captain of the Nemo Special Service Hancheng Squad. These jobs and positions did not involve the scope of real group management. Until he took over the position of chief consultant for East Asian strategy.

Cui Jiandao: "Your mood seems to be because you don't like the position of general counsel."

Duanmu sighed, "I liked it originally, but after learning about the ins and outs of it, I resisted it from the bottom of my heart. You like cooking, but do you like being the executive chef of a hotel? The former is simply cooking, while the latter involves management, salary distribution, and socializing. Cooking is the least needed skill."

Cui Jian: "You don't have to accept this job."

Duanmu: “It’s not that simple.”

Cui Jian: "I see you like this job quite a bit."

Duanmu thought for a while and smiled: "You can say that it is very challenging and interesting."

Cui Jian: "You hope you can handle the problem with your own means, rather than Dolan's ideas imposed on you."

Duanmu said: "The first sentence is correct. The second sentence is that I hope Dolan can help me deal with the problem instead of teaching me how to deal with it. If I need it, I will ask him for advice, and I hope he can work within the scope I have specified."

Cui Jian asked again: "Are you simply unhappy with Dolan's behavior? Or do you feel that Dolan's achievements are too great for his master? Or is it because the Knights' last name is Dolan, not Duanmu?"

Duanmu: "My last name is Tang, Duanmu Tang."

Cui Jian nodded: "Yes, yes, yes." Childish ghost.

Duanmu drank the brandy in the glass and exhaled the alcohol. It was obvious that Cui Jian's question was very sharp and he had to examine it carefully to know the answer.

Finally Duanmu avoided the topic and said, "What worries me more is that he is meeting some people he shouldn't meet on my behalf."

Cui Jian said: "He brought Baide and Han Bao."

Duanmu Nanjin didn't quite understand what Cui Jian meant, so he asked, "What?"

Cui Jiandao: "He brought Han Bao to contact people in Korea, and brought Baide to contact people in Japan. These two people will become your assistants in the future. On the positive side, they will clean up your mess. On the negative side, you are just a Guangxu. The reason why Guangxu became the emperor is because he has genes. Cixi could not become the emperor, but she mastered the power of the emperor. You can become the chief adviser and become a core member of the future intelligence agency of the United States, but Dolan can't. This is determined by your genes and resume. But Dolan can become..."

Duanmu's face suddenly turned cold: "Okay, stop talking."

Cui Jian said: "It's the same with the Knights, right? You have money and a lot of free time, and he gives you advice, builds a team for you, trains talents for you, and then expands the team step by step. These are not the problem. The core of the problem is, is it your Knights or Dolan's Knights?"

Duanmu ignored Cui Jian, stood up and went back to his bedroom, slamming the door shut.

Cui Jian sighed, poured himself a glass of brandy, took a sip, and it was quite ordinary.
