Part-time bodyguard

Chapter 445 Sniper Position
Duanmu spoke after a long silence: "I need some time."

Dolan thought for a while and nodded: "Okay, I'll wait for you here at 8 o'clock in the evening."

Knight A said, "Ruth and I will arrive at Daye Mountain in the afternoon and will be on site at 8pm, awaiting your Excellency's final decision."

Implicit meaning: If you can't do it, Knight A will take over Duanmu's resources on behalf of the Knights of the Round Table, and Ruth will become the fourth knight as the leader of the Knights.

Duolan said: "In any case, Han Bao and Baide will wholeheartedly assist you in dealing with work issues related to Japan and South Korea." If Duolan is killed, Han Bao and Baide will be Duanmu's right-hand men. If Duolan is not killed, Han Bao and Baide will be Duolan's right-hand men, holding the puppet Duanmu hostage and continuing to work as the chief consultant.

From this sentence, we can see that Dolan is still adding to the stakes. In his heart, he is looking forward to Duanmu picking up a pistol and shooting him. He knows that his death will create a great figure. This is his pursuit and his achievement. But this is not the ending that Dolan expects the most. He hopes that Duanmu will turn from a cocoon into a butterfly, cooperate with Qi Sha, and kill himself with a borrowed knife.

The first benefit of doing this is that Duanmu's hands are clean. The second benefit is that Duanmu will not let Qi Sha go, at least he will not let Qi Sha come back. Letting Duanmu take action against his former partners for the benefit of the Knights will help to sublimate Duanmu again.

……

The door of the conference room opened, and Duanmu was the first to walk out of the conference room. Bai Qi carefully observed Duanmu's expression, but could not see any clues, but he saw the pistol on the conference table. This morning, when he saw Dolan carrying a pistol, he had a bad feeling. Anyway, the gun was still on the table, the person was fine, and everything was fine.

Zhao Shu, who was waiting nearby, came over. Duanmu shook his head gently. Zhao Shu waved to the captain of the Hancheng security team, indicating that everything should remain the same. Then he followed Duanmu's footsteps. The two did not speak and went to the guest room where Duanmu was.

In the guest room, Cui Jian and Gui Yi were eating instant noodles. When Duanmu saw Cui Jian, his eyes instantly widened: "Are you eating instant noodles?" I'm playing with guns in the conference room, and you're eating instant noodles here?

Cui Jian looked at the noodles on the table and said, "I made one for you, too."

Duanmu asked: "How did you know I came out?"

Cui Jiandao: "I have been on the first floor all the time, 20 seconds earlier than you."

Cui Jian did not stand guard at the entrance of the conference room, but wandered to a certain location on the first floor. Others did not quite understand, but Duanmu understood after thinking for a while. Cui Jian found that many bodyguards from Hancheng Security were approaching the side door on the first floor. It was meaningless for him to stay at the entrance of the conference room, so he occupied the advantageous terrain first, so that he could strike back if something unexpected happened.

Duanmu was somewhat moved after hearing this and patted Cui Jian on the shoulder: "Thank you."

Duanmu didn’t know that Cui Jian was very disappointed: You guys didn’t even fight?
Duanmu looked at Zhao Shu and asked, "Would you like to have one too?"

Zhao Shu nodded.

Cui Jian said: "Gui Yi, go to the door and get some fresh air. I'll give your portion of instant noodles to Zhao Shu."

Gui Yi said "oh" and went out obediently.

Duanmu began to explain the situation. It could be said in a few words, or more briefly: Duan forced Duanmu to kill him. Considering Cui Jian's lack of brain capacity, Duanmu still explained the key points. He didn't know that Cui Jian had already understood Duan's arrangement yesterday.

Duanmu's explanation brought good news to Cui Jian: Duanmu had two choices: kill Dolan or not kill Dolan. Cui Jian had previously known that there was a third choice: put Dolan under house arrest.

Obviously, from Dolan's attitude, it can be seen that putting Dolan under house arrest cannot meet Dolan's requirements. This old guy wants to sacrifice himself and push Duanmu onto a path of no return.

It has to be said that this old man is more ruthless than he thought, which further confirmed Cui Jian's idea: Dolan must die. So now Duanmu's attitude is the key.

Cui Jian sat aside, opened the lid of the instant noodles, looked at Duanmu who was sitting on the sofa, and said, "It's a very simple multiple-choice question."

Zhao Shu sighed, picked up the chopsticks and stirred the instant noodles, and said, "It's a multiple-choice question that is so simple that I can't give any suggestions."

Duanmu asked: "Cui Jian, who is the most important person in your life?"

Cui Jian subconsciously looked up at the wall, thought for a long, long time, and said, "I'll do it myself."

Duanmu: "You are so sad. Zhao Shu?"

Zhao Shu said: "Family, my parents, my sister, my brother. In the future there will also be my wife and my children."

Duanmu: "Obviously we can't let you kill so many people."

Zhao Shu: "Yes. Let me ask you a question. Are you unable to do it, or are you unable to do it?"

Duanmu was puzzled: "Is there a difference?"

Zhao Shu: "You can't kill him yourself, or you can't kill him?"

Duanmu replied: "If I decide to kill him, I will do it myself to maximize the value of his death. This is also what he expected."

Duanmu has many contradictions in his heart, following Dolan's teachings and his own bottom line. In the future, should he live and work with free will, or carry Dolan's legacy and move forward for the glory of the Knights? In addition, after killing Dolan, will the sense of achievement in his future career really make him happy?

Cui Jian knew Duanmu better than Zhao Shu, and said, "He would not have done it originally, and could have just said NO to Duolan. But now Duolan is putting him in a difficult position, and whether he says YES or NO, it goes against his original intention. However, you don't seem to be in a bad mood."

Duanmu said, "At least I know Uncle Duolan is still Uncle Duolan." What made him sad was not that he wanted to kill Duolan, but that Duolan had changed and became a stranger to him. When he knew that all this was arranged by Duolan, he was happy from the bottom of his heart, because the person he respected and cared about the most had no intention of betraying him. On the contrary, he was willing to burn his life to illuminate the way forward for himself.

However, the more this happened, the more Duanmu couldn't do it. At the same time, Duanmu admitted that what Duan said was right. With his current mentality, even with the Knights as a backing, he couldn't go very far, and he was likely to disagree with Duan and the Knights on some decisions. As long as he killed Duan with his own hands, there would be no one he couldn't kill in the future, and there would be nothing he couldn't do.

As a politician, you may not do bad things, but you must have the awareness to do bad things.

Duanmu lay down on the sofa, Zhao Shu poured him some tea, and said nothing. Seeing that everything was fine, Cui Jian picked up the instant noodles and stood up and said, "I'll go buy some sausages."

Without waiting for their consent, Cui Jian left the room, said hello to Gui Yi at the door, took some instant noodles and went downstairs, walked out of the main building, found a place to sit down by the stream, and then connected to Qisha's mobile phone. Someone called three minutes ago.

Lao Riyao: "I'm at Duiye Mountain. It's the small hill opposite Daye Mountain."

Cui Jian looked to the west: "It can't be called a small hill, right?" The terrain to the west is higher. Although it is much lower than Daye Mountain, it is several dozen meters higher than the manor at the foot of Daye Mountain. This area is a rocky mountain, mostly large rocks exposed, with various weeds growing in the cracks between the rocks, and a few trees. The total area is about 3000 square meters, close to a rectangle.

Old Sun: "This is not the key issue. The key is that there are snipers 150 meters away from me, in a group of two, one observer and one shooter."

Cui Jian said: "The Knights are really afraid of death." Snipers were placed outside the perimeter to guard, which was a bit overly sensitive. When the US president traveled or attended meetings, snipers were arranged at many high points.

There are two types of travel for the US president. One is unexpected travel, where his itinerary is kept secret and only known to those around him. The second type is mandatory travel, such as attending a summit, or making a scheduled public speech. The second type has a very large security scale, and snipers are standard.

Old Sun: "Did the news of our assassination leak out?"

Cui Jian said: "Dolan knows that we, the Seven Killers, want to kill him, so it is natural for him to make such an arrangement. Are you considering retreating? The situation here is a bit complicated, and Dolan's mortality rate is very high." Old Ri Yao: "I'm fine, I dug a sniper position and covered it with a thermal insulation blanket. Unless you step over me, you won't be able to detect my existence."

Cui Jian: “Are you enjoying it?”

Old Riyue: "Find joy in hardship." Old Riyue's lower body was in a relatively narrow tunnel. He installed a camera at the observation port to monitor the manor 1500 meters away. Beside him was a sniper rifle and a high-power telescope. He had a thermal insulation cloth on his head to resist infrared thermal scanning. Weeds and dead branches were laid on the thermal insulation cloth for camouflage.

Cui Jian asked with a smile: "Don't you really like small fishing villages?"

Old Riyao said earnestly: "Brother, listen to my famous saying, love and marriage have nothing to do with each other, they are two completely different states of life."

Cui Jian: "Stop giving me poisonous chicken soup. Love is shit, marriage is the best. Nothing else, right?"

Old Riyue: "No, I just want to find someone to complain to. Wait, someone is within 50 meters of me."

Lao Riyao took out a monitor, and a large moving object appeared on the monitor. The moving object was very flexible and jumped and moved among the rocks.

Old Ri Yao whispered, "20 meters." He reached out for the pistol beside him and loaded it.

Cui Jian waited for about five minutes, finished his instant noodles, found a trash can to dispose of the trash, and then tapped his headset. Old Riyue responded twice, indicating that he was fine.

Another five minutes passed, and then Old Riyue's voice came: "It seems to be Korean."

Cui Jian said something in Korean, and Lao Riyao said, "Yes, that's probably it."

Cui Jian said: "Okay, since everything is fine, I'll hang up now."

Lao Riyao: "Wait, can you tell the two-headed dog that I want a divorce?"

Cui Jian: "No, you are a role model, a benchmark. We set you up so high, how can you just fall down like that? Your retirement life represents the ideal of the Qisha people. In a wealthy and almost isolated village, you live happily with a beautiful and kind girl and love each other."

Old Sun: "But I miss the beer festival, I miss the carnival, I want to go skiing in Switzerland, I want to meet girls in the bar, I want to ride a horse in the American West, I want to spend the night with the Argentine landowner who lost her husband. You know, I'm not a homebody, I can't stay here. There are only a few dozen permanent residents in a small fishing village..."

Old Riyao kept mumbling, and Cui Jian felt sorry for the old man, so he comforted him intermittently. It took more than half an hour before they returned to the guest room. Time seemed to have stopped, and Duanmu was still lying in the guest room, seemingly asleep. Zhao Shu was still sitting there, drinking tea leisurely.

Cui Jian said: "It's noon now, how are you going to solve the lunch problem?"

Zhao Shu: "I contacted the kitchen and they will send food over."

Cui Jian: "Okay, Gui Yi and I will go to the cafeteria in separate classes."

Zhao Shu: "Wait, Cui Jian, come with me to get something."

Zhao Shu finished speaking and took Cui Jian out to the third floor. There were two Zhao family bodyguards standing at the stairs. Seeing Zhao Shu bringing people, they did not stop him. When they reached the third floor, a maid seemed to have a telepathic connection with Zhao Shu. She pushed open a door and stood at the door. Zhao Shu led Cui Jian into the study. The maid quickly brought tea and a tray with snacks.

The maid closed the door, and Cui Jian said, "Boss Zhao, please tell me what you want to say."

Zhao Shu nodded, but did not respond immediately. After thinking for a while, he asked, "Do you dare to kill someone?"

Cui Jian was stunned for a moment and replied, "I dare not." He must be crazy.

Zhao Shu laughed to ease the awkwardness, then asked, "Is Duanmu your best friend?"

Cui Jian said, "No, it's really not. Mr. Zhao, if you have something to say, just tell me directly."

Zhao Shu said: "I want you to kill Duolan."

Cui Jian: “Hmm?” Cui Jian felt that he had heard it wrong.

Zhao Shu said: "After the matter is completed, I will give you 50 million US dollars. If you are arrested, I will try to control your sentence within five years and compensate you 5 million US dollars a year. At the same time, I can guarantee that except for losing your freedom, you can live a very good life in prison."

Cui Jian said: "Killing is not a problem, the problem is... Mr. Zhao, don't blame me for being too blunt. We are not familiar with each other, why should I help you kill someone?"

Zhao Shu was startled and said, "He helped Duanmu kill people."

Cui Jian said: "But Duanmu didn't tell me that he needed me to help him kill someone."

"He...he..." Zhao Shu was speechless for a moment.

Cui Jian's idea is totally fine. Given the relationship between Zhao Shu and Cui Jian, Zhao Shu has no right to ask Cui Jian to take action. For Duanmu? Doesn't Duanmu have a mouth? Let him speak for himself. He is embarrassed to speak? I am so embarrassed to kill people, but he is embarrassed to speak?
Seeing that Zhao Shu was about to speak, Cui Jian took the initiative to ask, "Mr. Zhao, you are not guessing that Duanmu wants to kill Duolan, but is embarrassed to do so, and hopes that someone can help him kill Duolan, right?"

Zhao Shu nodded: "Yes, that's what I mean."

Cui Jian said: "But we are not familiar with each other. How can I know whether your guess is right or wrong, and whether you have any selfish motives?" The subtext is that given our relationship, it will be useless no matter what you say.

Cui Jian added: "Or I tell you this: for the sake of Duanmu's future, you have to transfer all your family's assets to my name as soon as possible. Would you believe it?"

Zhao Shu was silent for a long time, then stood up and said, "Go eat."

"Okay." Cui Jian stood up and left without any hesitation. No detours, the most direct thought, the simplest result. If you want to kill someone, you have to tell me. If you don't tell me, how can I know you want to kill someone?

The protagonist did not speak or express anything, everything was Zhao Shu's imagination.

From the perspective of Qi Sha, Cui Jian certainly hopes that Duanmu will kill Duolan. But from the perspective of a friend, Duanmu killing Duolan is like being reborn from the ashes, and he is no longer the Duanmu he knew.

When a smoker consumes, he often compares the price of goods with the price of cigarettes he usually buys. When a housewife consumes, she often compares the price of goods with the price of dishes. When Duanmu Weilai does anything, he may compare it with Duolan.

For example, if Duanmu's child in the future serves in the Knights and reveals the secrets of the Knights because of showing off, given Duanmu's personality now, he might just laugh it off, or reason with him, or give him a light punishment, or even let him leave the Knights. Duanmu in the future might compare the child with Dolan and come to a conclusion: If Dolan can be killed, why can't the child be killed?

As a leader, he will encounter many multiple-choice questions in the future. As long as Duanmu can answer this most difficult multiple-choice question correctly, he will no longer encounter dilemmas in the future.
