Part-time bodyguard

Chapter 437 Goodbye Zhao Ai
Judging from the current security schedule and personnel arrangements, Duolan is a group of people, Duanmu is a group of people, and he basically cannot get in touch with Duolan's situation. What's more difficult is that Duolan's bodyguard leader is Bai Qi, and it is difficult to find flaws.

The good news is that Duanmu and Duolan have a rift, but Duanmu has few confidants in the Knights, and he is also very secretive. The young people like Hailan, who should be loyal to him, don't know that he is the captain of the special forces. So Duanmu can't make any waves.

Around five o'clock in the afternoon, Duolan and his friends returned to the suite. Although there was a time difference and they had been busy for half a day, Duolan did not look tired at all. The energetic old man went to drink tea with Duanmu as soon as he came back. Duanmu was also very pretentious, chatting idly and asking about work. Duolan told him not to know too much.

At half past five, Duolan was finally a little tired and went to the guest room to rest. Duanmu and Han Bao started chatting, Cui Jian listened on the side, and Han Bao was very tight-lipped. Even when Duanmu directly asked him about his opinion on the leader of the Xiejiao, he said that he had not met any leader, but only some old friends of Grandpa Duolan.

During dinner, Duanmu asked Dulan about some matters related to the Knights' industry. Dulan told Duanmu not to worry about these trivial matters, after all, money was no longer a problem for them. Duanmu was asked to focus on the golf trip with the son of a senior official tomorrow morning. Dulan specifically explained the special features of this senior official's son, saying that he had a good relationship with many chaebols in South Korea and was also a broker. At least four members of the parliament were his people.

The second half of the dinner was about Qi Sha. There were only Bai De, Han Bao, Cui Jian and Gui Yi around, and the two of them did not shy away from their conversation.

"It took Qisha a month, and there are still more than 20 days left." Dolan said: "I admire these people. Even at the end, they did not stop assassinating the target."

Duanmu asked: "Did you set a trap in the finances?"

"Ok?"

Duanmu said: "According to the verbal agreement, all Qisha accounts will be unblocked and their dynamics will no longer be monitored. Qisha accounts currently have $800 million. According to Qisha's style of doing things, they should distribute a large part of the money to members of the organization, including associate members and retirees."

Dolan asked back, "Why do you think I would set a trap?"

Duanmu thought for a while and said, "I don't know. I just think you will not miss this opportunity. The CIA's generosity should be attributed to you. If there is no benefit, you will not do this."

Dolan smiled and asked, "What do you think?"

Duanmu said: "I think the two-headed dog is not stupid, he should have some doubts. But if he doesn't pay such a large sum of money, he will feel sorry for his brothers. And I think Qi Sha and the others will not compromise so easily, they should choose to lie dormant. Lying dormant requires money to build and maintain a safe house. Whether the two-headed dog is willing or not, he will definitely use the money."

Dolan said: "Yes, that's what I think. But you don't understand my intention. My first intention is to take precautions. I can be a gentleman, but I have to guard against others being villains. The second intention is that I personally support the Seven Kills, and I also hope that they can make a comeback and lend out the money. If you agree, we can help the Seven Kills rebuild their organization in the future."

Duanmu: "Let's talk about this later. In addition to the two-headed dog, do you have any other identities of the Seven Killers?"

Dolan replied: "No."

Duanmu didn't believe it: "This is not like you."

Dolan said: "The return is not proportional to the risk. I have seen through the identity of the two-headed dog. I invested $1 and earned $1. If I dig down along the identity of the two-headed dog, I need to invest $100, and the income may be $1000. The most important thing is that the risk is greatly increased. First, the two-headed dog may find out. Given their personality, they will definitely choose to fight to the death. Second, there are a lot of new people in Qi Sha now. The two-headed dog will most likely directly contact the old people, and the few old people in Qi Sha are not easy to deal with."

Duanmu: “Oh?”

Dolan said: "Muyao is the oldest. He is an expert in using poison. He can accurately poison and spread poison in a certain area. According to my assessment, his brain is not inferior to the two-headed dog. The next is Yueyao, who is a murderer. Even Baiqi is afraid of him. These people are killers. The stronger their ability, the higher the direct risk, but the return is very low. For example, what if Yueyao's identity is discovered?"

Dolan said: "However, I think that given the suspicious nature of the two-headed dog, he should suspect that I have mastered some, or even most, of the information about the Seven Killers. Therefore, even if he has doubts about me, he will not turn against me. You should learn to do things this way in the future. In other words: pinch the dragon's head, not the snake's body."

Duanmu said: "But Qi Sha may know something about the Dome Project."

Dolan said: "It's not possible, it's a certainty. But without evidence and interests, they have nowhere to complain. However, since you have such concerns, I will also make corresponding preparations."

Duanmu asked: "What preparations?"

Dolan said: "I am willing to be a gentleman, but if you feel there is a risk, I am willing to be a villain. Regardless of this, the financial trap is reasonable. In this way, whether we want to attack Qi Sha in the future or support Qi Sha, the initiative is in our hands."

The two paused for a moment, and Cui Jian interrupted: "Mr. Dolan, can I ask a question?"

Dolan was very kind: "Please go ahead."

Cui Jiandao: "I remember that the last time I went to Japan for security, the scale was not this large. You seem to be worried about something, which makes me a little uneasy. If you have any intelligence information that we don't know, please let us know."

Duolan nodded in understanding: "I know you and Duanmu are very good friends, and I also know that you are worried about Duanmu's safety."

Cui Jiandao: "I am also worried about the safety of Gui Yi and me, so I didn't write any imaginary enemies in the project."

Dolan chuckled: "I just need some bodyguards because I need to contact some people who are not easy to mess with. I am very relieved that Duanmu has your protection. And, Duanmu, you should express your gratitude to Cui Jian on behalf of the Knights. He killed Sharawi to protect you."

Duanmu turned his head to look at Cui Jian: "How do you thank me? What do you want? A woman or money?"

Cui Jian laughed and said, "Don't use your single dog mentality to figure me out."

"Ah!"

Cui Jian ignored him, took a step back and stood with Gui Yi, looking at the door of the guest room from time to time. Two bodyguards were checking the food on the food delivery cart, which made Cui Jian a little uneasy. This inspection seemed to be targeting Mu Yao. Did Duolan think that Qi Sha would attack him? It is not impossible. Although Qi Sha is not large, there are more than ten official members. The close cooperation with Suo Yi Ke gave Duolan an opportunity to take advantage of. It cannot be ruled out that Duolan developed an inside line.

Two-headed dog proposed to assassinate Dolan in the first meeting, but was opposed. I think it was a bit of an act. He may have realized that there was a problem inside. The blacklist drawn by two-headed dog...

Cui Jian was lost in thought, and the sofa he was leaning on could not bear his weight, causing him to almost fall. Duanmu and Duolan looked over together. Cui Jian was stroking the back of the sofa, and when he saw the two looking at him, he said, "Good quality."

Duanmu said: "Don't embarrass me, sit down if you can't stand."

So Cui Jian sat down, with his back to the two of them, and started playing with his phone. Gui Yi felt wronged, she also wanted to sit down, she didn't understand what was wrong with her upright posture?

Duanmu said: "Hey, who. Let's go out tonight and meet two old friends."

Cui Jian: “Okay.”

Duanmu: "Gui Yi, you should rest tonight. Someone will be on duty."

Gui Yi: “Yes.”

Duo Lan was very satisfied: "That's right, there's no harm in moving around more. And Yun Xueshan, we can increase our contacts. The Yun family chaebol is quite influential in the fungus area."

Duanmu was surprised: "Really?"

Dolan nodded: "Of course it's true."

Duanmu said: "Uncle Duolan, have you been planning in Korea for a long time?"

Dolan denied: "I just combed through the information Luke left behind."

……

After dinner, Dulan went back to his suite to rest. Duanmu leaned against the wall next to the French window, quietly watching the city at night. After a long time, Duanmu called out, "Let's go."

Duanmu and Cui Jian went out. Duanmu seemed to suddenly remember something and walked directly to the Dolan Suite. Then an embarrassing scene happened. Two bodyguards stood at the door. One reported with a headset and the other walked quickly to Duanmu. It seemed to be a welcome, but in fact it was an obstruction. But he didn't dare to really obstruct. He tried to delay time as much as possible and opened the door for Duanmu.

After Duanmu entered the room, he asked Bai Qi in the living room where Duolan was. Bai Qi replied that Duolan had rested, and Baide and Han Bao were still working in the conference room. Duanmu said that since they were resting, it was okay, and he left with Cui Jian after telling them to pay attention to safety.

Duanmu said nothing, and even changed his gloomy mood in the afternoon, returning to his usual personality. The car drove all the way to the former Xue family, which is now the Zhao family, Zhao Ai's family.

After not visiting for a long time, the place has changed a lot. Villa 1 has not changed, but Villa 2 has become a princess room in a fairy tale, and Villa 3 has become a 4-story apartment building for staff to live in. A road was rebuilt between Villas 1 and 2, and Villa 3 was separated by green plants and rocks. In this way, Villas 1 and 2 became the owner's area, and Villa 3 became the staff's area.

Duanmu said something even more interesting. A shelter was built in Villa No. 2. The shelter has a passage connecting to the basement of Villa No. 1. This passage is the kind of road that can be driven on.

The bodyguard let the car in, and a security guard directed the car to park in the parking space near Villa No. 1. Duanmu said before getting out of the car: "You wait."

Cui Jian asked, "I was the one waiting for you last time. Can't you drive here by yourself?"

Duanmu said, "Only with you here can I dare to meet people." Without waiting for Cui Jian to ask any more questions, Duanmu got out of the car, closed the door, and entered Villa No. 1 under the guidance of an Indian butler.

Cui Jian got out of the car and was led by a servant to the semi-open teahouse that was extended from Villa No. 1. The teahouse had four tables and a bar. There were uniformed staff working at the bar and service staff. There were seven guests sitting at two tables in the teahouse, all of them young people.

Cui Jian sat down and listened to the young people talking about Zhao Ai's racing skills. After listening for a while, he realized that they and Zhao Ai were members of a racing club. Because they were of similar age and were all quite rich, several of them lived in the same villa area, and they became friends after a few visits. Zhao Ai was their gathering point.

Listening to what they said, Cui Jian profiled Zhao Ai's personality now and six months ago is very different. Now Zhao Ai is a big sister in the circle who has a lot of weight in her words and takes care of the younger generation. It seems that although personality is restricted by innate factors, it is more affected by acquired factors.

This circle refers to the circle of eating, drinking and having fun, not just the racing circle. Zhao Ai also likes to go to Macau to gamble, go to Milan to buy clothes, go to South America to surf, go to the Arctic Circle to soak in hot springs, and go to France to ride a bicycle. It's all about having fun. Every time they go out, they are the same hobby. Therefore, in the surfing circle, Zhao Ai is the most fashionable. In the fashion circle, Zhao Ai is the best at surfing.

In summary, Cui Jian is the best bodyguard in the killer world. In the bodyguard world, he is the best killer.

In Duanmu's opinion, Zhao Ai is even crazier, with an attitude of "I do whatever I want, I don't care about myself". However, Duanmu came to see Zhao Ai to maintain a relationship. Zhao Ai, who inherited Li Jie's 10 billion assets, is now only doing basic investment. Duanmu is certainly not interested in Zhao Ai's money. The main reason is more complicated. A secondary reason is that Duanmu is attracted by the circle that Zhao Ai plays in, where people are either rich or noble. He maintains a good relationship with Zhao Ai so that he can ask her for help in the future when he needs it.

After five or six years of no contact, a sudden call from someone is most likely a request to borrow money. Duanmu would never make this mistake.

Duanmu didn't know why, but every time they arranged to meet, it was the time when Zhao Ai was bullying Li Jie in the basement. It seemed that Zhao Ai wanted to let everyone who knew about it know that she was bullying Li Jie.

Li Jie is now very docile, and even his heart has been transformed by Zhao Ai into that of a little kitten. Even so, he is still whipped every day. At the beginning, he was physically and mentally angry. Later, he was angry in his heart. Now he is happy in his heart. Zhao Ai told Duanmu that if he was not beaten for a day, he would feel that his master did not want him, and he would be so worried that he could not eat for a day.

During the chat, Zhao Ai heard that Cui Jian accompanied them, so she went back and changed into a conservative white-collar business suit. She went to the first floor with Duanmu and asked the housekeeper to invite Cui Jian in for tea.

Duanmu was furious about this! Why should I watch such an eye-catching stage play, but he can talk to you who is the most gentle?

After not seeing each other for a long time, Zhao Ai's appearance didn't seem to have changed much. Cui Jian and Zhao Ai shook hands and sat down, chatting about their work together. When talking about the current situation, Zhao Ai heard that Duolan was in Hancheng, so she looked at Duanmu and said, "I've heard of Duolan's name for a long time. I wonder if there's a chance for us to have dinner together?"

Cui Jian's heart skipped a beat; the opportunity had come.

Although Duolan lived near Duanmu, they rarely interacted with each other on a daily basis. It was obvious that they had indeed assessed the risk of being attacked, otherwise Duolan and Duanmu would have lived directly in Duanmu's house. Duolan was a traditional sword butterfly, Bai Qi was a very good bodyguard leader, and with the bodyguards trained by the Knights, Cui Jian did not find an opportunity to assassinate him that day. Of course, this ruled out the opportunity for Cui Jian to kill directly as a bodyguard.

Shengzi was troubled after seeing Dulan's schedule. Dulan either stayed in the hotel or met with someone. The key point was that the meeting place was difficult to infiltrate. For example, a private club, a mountain villa, or a yacht. Because of various reasons explained before, Cui Jian could not kill Dulan as a bodyguard, and the only person who could do it was Mu Yao.

Mu Yao’s infiltration ability is good, but not that good. As a foreigner, it is even more difficult for him to infiltrate these private places.

Zhao Ai invited Duo Lan to dinner. The restaurant she suggested was likely to be unfamiliar to Duo Lan, with unfamiliar staff. Wasn't this an opportunity?
