Chapter 111: Surprise Encounter
Bai Qi held aside a strand of his white hair and said in dissatisfaction, "Old Li, we have been friends for ten years after all. Why is it so difficult to ask you to do something for me?"

Li Ran: "Don't change the subject."

Bai Qi chuckled: "My boss's sister likes this guy and wants to get a direct understanding of his nature. Since he won't answer, why don't you talk to me about it."

Li Ran: "He's a decent person."

Bai Qi: “Oh?”

Li Ran: "He has a friend who is an investigator. His friend has good character, so his character will naturally not be bad."

Bai Qi thought about it, and seemed to accept Li Ran's statement, and said: "Old Li, are you interested in hanging out with me?"

Li Ran: "With you?"

Bai Qi said: "My boss has been traveling around the world for the past few years and recently decided to settle down in Hancheng. I am going to form a team of bodyguards to take care of her safety at home and when she travels."

Li Ran: "Didn't you, Xiaobai, claim to be my best bodyguard in the world?"

"I have now changed my job to a special assistant, and I have to help the boss keep an eye on business matters on a daily basis." Bai Qi said, "I will hire you as the head bodyguard with an annual salary of three million US dollars. You can choose the team, and I will give you a sufficient bodyguard budget."

Li Ran: “Isn’t this price too high?”

Bai Qi: "My boss is rich, so he has to find the best bodyguards. If you have any conditions, just ask for them. The annual salary is negotiable."

Li Ran: "I'm not interested, let's drop the topic here."

Bai Qi: "Okay, let's talk about Cui Jian. Do you have a photo? Let me see. There's only information about bodyguards online, no photos."

Li Ran: "I have photos, but I can't show them to you."

Bai Qi was dissatisfied: "Why is it so difficult to get something from you?"

Li Ran: "You used personal feelings to get me to help you with your work. But I have to sell my professional ethics to help you. Work is work, friends are friends. If you have anything else to say, get out. If not, let's have a few drinks."

Bai Qi spread his hands.

……

The buffet party started the first round of third prize drawing. There were five winners in total. The prize was a 6-day, 5-night trip to Boracay for two people, including air tickets, hotel, food and accommodation and most items, with a value of approximately 700 million.

No one expected Xue Bing to be so generous. In the eyes of Cui Jian and the minor supporting actors, it was already good enough to get a toilet plunger as the third prize.

Cui Jian did not win the third prize. The small band continued to play music, and everyone continued to eat and drink. 70% of the topic was about Xue Bing and the prizes.

This kind of banquet is divided into two parts. One part is for stars, directors, management companies, producers, etc. The other part is for minor supporting actors and low-level staff like Cui Jian who are just eating and drinking for free. In addition, some people from the entertainment industry also temporarily joined in. Overall, it looks very lively and harmonious.

The second prize was drawn at 1500 o'clock in the evening, and there were three winners. The prize was a shopping card for a luxury store worth million.

After the lucky winner received the prize, the host announced the first prize of the 911 o'clock lucky draw: a mid-range Porsche worth over million yuan. This immediately caused an uproar at the scene.

At 8:50, Ye Rannuo suddenly called, and Cui Jian answered the phone: "Hello."

Ye Rannuo's voice was a little painful: "Cui Jian, I'm in the hospital for an IV drip."

Cui Jian: "What's wrong?"

Ye Rannuo: "It's still acute gastroenteritis, can you come and accompany me?"

Cui Jian: "I'm busy now."

Ye Rannuo asked: "When can you come over?"

"I'm in Paris and can't come back for a while." This barbecued pork is good. I'll ask later what ingredients are added.

Ye Rannuo: "Okay then, I just want someone to accompany me." Her tone was tearful.

Cui Jian: "What? My signal is bad, let's talk later." You're crazy, I don't know you well, why don't you buy a piece of barbecued pork to accompany you, at least the barbecued pork is edible. Besides, the person has already arrived at the hospital, and I'm not a doctor, why should I go there?
In a private room of a club in the city, Ye Rannuo slammed her phone on the sofa, and was so angry that her hair stood on end: "You bastard."

Xue Bing suppressed a smile: "This is the bodyguard you like."

Ye Rannuo hugged Xue Bing: "Sister, hug me. Sister, hug me."

Xue Bing patted Ye Rannuo on the back comfortingly: "Then do you want to move out?"

Ye Rannuo said in distress: "He is very good at cooking, and I also have to go to Dayin Group occasionally."

Xue Bing nodded and asked, "Are you sure Ye Wen is a member of Nemo?"

Ye Rannuo opened the laptop in front of him: "Yes, Ye Wen is a member of Nemo, but he is not our target, but our opponent."

Xue Bing said: "It's expected. Ye Wen is a bold and arrogant man, and he has soldiers willing to die for him. He will definitely not let go of Nemo's fat sheep. Instead of looking for him by ourselves, we might as well find him with his help."

The short-haired girl said, "There are the Seven Killers stationed in Hancheng. Even if Ye Wen opens a shelter, will the fat sheep dare to come?" Nemo was divided into two parts, one part was the target being chased by the Seven Killers, and the other part was the relatives of the dead target. The fat sheep they were talking about were the first part.

Although the fat sheep are the targets of the Seven Killers, they have not committed any crime. On the contrary, the fat sheep who can escape the Seven Killers basically have a lot of wealth or power. People who are used to living a life of luxury will definitely not stay in a rat hole, and they also hope that their living environment will be better.

The second group of people in Nemo's group are neither targets nor criminals, and they are either rich or noble. They have the conditions and strength to open a shelter for fat sheep.

Take the Saudi prince, the target of target No. 50, for example. He does not have to do anything. Relying on the oil wells, he can earn $300 million a day. He can spend $300 million a day to allow himself and his hunted family to live in a safe and comfortable environment.

Building shelters for targets has always been an open secret in Nemo. Most of the shelters are set up on islands, using a large number of mercenaries to ensure safety. But an island is an island after all. It's nice to have a vacation occasionally, but it can't compare to the ever-changing city.

This is why the butler said that Nemo may not be the enemy. Some members of Nemo not only do not want the Seven Killers to be eliminated, but also hope that the Seven Killers will become more and more powerful and force the fat sheep to pay higher protection fees. Of course, there is always a force in Nemo that insists on completely eliminating the Seven Killers, and they are the majority.

Xue Bing replied: "I have received accurate information that Ye Wen's first shelter will soon open in Seoul. His development goal is to build 12 shelters in Hancheng, so that the fat sheep can freely change shelters according to their mood. Ye Wen is also working with others to build a safe community, so that the fat sheep can move freely within a certain range. They can go to bars, go shopping, and go to video game arcades without worrying about being wiped out at any time."

Short-haired girl: "Ye Wen is not short of money, right?"

Xue Bing: "No company is short of cash. If there is, it is because they have no ambition to expand. In addition to money, there is also power. Although these fat sheep have become rats, some of them can still reach out to the political arena, and some of them hold many secrets that cannot be made public."

Xue Bing asked: "How is Duanmu, nicknamed Tianxia?"

Ye Rannuo: "Duanmu used his bodyguard certificate to register for work at Dayin Security. If I remember correctly, he seems to be a small leader of the Nemo Special Service Team."

Xue Bing: "Although the small leader cannot contact the captain of the special forces team, the instructions he receives are all directly issued by the captain. However, he is so flamboyant that he will not be entrusted with important tasks. Keep an eye on him and see what his purpose is in being a bodyguard."

The short-haired girl: "Three months left." Xue Bing nodded: "Three months."

Short-haired girl: "What if Qi Sha doesn't take the bait?"

Xue Bing replied: "No, the Seven Killers don't care about profit, this is their Achilles' heel. Even if there are doubts about something, they will definitely do it. The key is that we don't reveal any flaws, and everything will go smoothly. Have you found the two killers who killed my family?"

The short-haired woman said, "The tragedy happened in Seoul, which is the area that the seven-killing three-headed dog is responsible for. To find the two killers, we must first dig out the three-headed dog. There is no other shortcut."

Xue Bing nodded, his eyes shining, and said: "I hope they are still alive, but I don't think they would wish they were still alive."

……

At seven o'clock the next morning, Cui Jian enjoyed breakfast alone. Today was his practical test day. The door was opened, and Ye Rannuo, wearing a black clavicle-revealing outfit, came home drunk with the help of a short-haired girl. She looked at Cui Jian intently, as if trying to recognize who this familiar man was.

Cui Jian took a look and said, "The clay pot porridge is in the pot." He was watching a practical video.

Ye Rannuo recognized Cui Jian and became furious. He pushed the short-haired girl away, propped his arm on the dining table, put his face in front of Cui Jian, and asked angrily, "Aren't you in Paris?"

Cui Jian looked up at Ye Rannuo, continued to look at his phone, and answered: "Champs Elysees Shopping Mall in Paris." He didn't know if there was such a place, but he simply didn't want to use his brain, hoping to use 1% of his brain cells to get rid of the creature in front of him. As for why Ye Rannuo was hospitalized and drinking, he didn't care at all, and didn't want to understand.

Before Ye Rannuo went crazy grabbing Cui Jian's hair, the short-haired girl decisively hugged Ye Rannuo's waist and pulled her into her bedroom. She knew very well that Ye Rannuo would never be able to grab Cui Jian's hair and would only bring trouble upon herself. Although they didn't have much contact, the short-haired girl knew very well that Cui Jian had no feelings for Ye Rannuo at all, and it was even worse than the impression she gave Cui Jian when she exposed her legs that time.

Last night in the private room, Ye Rannuo fell asleep after getting drunk. The short-haired girl talked about this with Xue Bing. She had a hunch that Cui Jian was different from the men she knew. She couldn't tell exactly what the difference was, but she could only say that Cui Jian was not a good match for Ye Rannuo. Fortunately, Cui Jian was not a scumbag, and Ye Rannuo, who was in love, would not be hurt too much, and would wake up sooner or later.

After sending Ye Rannuo to lie down, the short-haired girl went to the kitchen to make a bowl of clay pot porridge and sat quietly opposite Cui Jian. She had to admit that Cui Jian was charming. Every breakfast was delicious and different every week. She didn't care to look at Cui Jian. Anyway, she knew that Cui Jian would not only ignore her, but also would not notice it at all.

The ringing of the doorbell broke the quiet breakfast. Cui Jian was about to get up when the short-haired girl came closer and walked to the entrance first to open the door. He saw that the person coming was Duanmu. When Duanmu saw the short-haired girl, his pupils suddenly shrank and he subconsciously took a half step back, with a look of disbelief on his face.

Similarly, the short-haired girl was also startled when she saw Duanmu. They stared at each other for a long time with their eyes wide open, and their minds were full of thoughts: Why is she here? Why is he here?
Hearing no movement, Cui Jian stood up in confusion and walked to the entrance, sighing: "Good things don't come to the door, please come in." He glanced at the short-haired girl. Is this girl bewitched by her peach blossom eyes?

The short-haired girl stepped aside, and Duanmu, who had already regained his smirk, walked by. The short-haired girl closed the door, and Duanmu came in and saw: "Claypot porridge. By the way, you were in the cooking club in college, right? When guests come to your house, can't you treat them to a meal?"

Cui Jian went to the kitchen and made a small bowl for Duanmu, then took the chopsticks and placed them in front of Duanmu. Duanmu glanced at the short-haired girl and said, "Cui Jian, why don't you introduce me?"

Cui Jian was stunned: "You are asking for too much. This is my tenant's friend, and this is my colleague Duanmu."

Duanmu stretched out his hand: "Hello..." Hmm? Did these two not even know her name?
The short-haired girl smiled with a smile that didn't reach her eyes. She shook hands with Duanmu and said, "Hello."

Cui Jian took the initiative and said, "I'm not free today."

Duanmu waved his hand and took out his cell phone: "I met a girl a few days ago, we got along well, and we made an appointment to play basketball today, but she has three little followers around her, so I need a wingman"

Cui Jian took a look at the photo, which showed three beautiful women in swimsuits, with perfect figures and looks. The three girls had three different types: youthful and shy, wild and bold, and cold and icy.

Cui Jian asked: "You got along well with girls in the swimming pool?"

"Yacht, this was taken on a yacht." Duanmu is so disappointed with you that you flirt with girls in the swimming pool.

Cui Jian said, "I'm not free today."

Duanmu: "You are my only friend in Korea. I don't need you to do anything. Just hold these three girls back."

Cui Jiandao: "I have an exam today."

Duanmu continued: "What about tonight? We'll go out to sea on a yacht at night... Look, the three girls are all excellent."

Cui Jian looked at it carefully for a while, then asked seriously: "How much does it cost?"

Duanmu was startled: "They are all decent girls."

Cui Jian shook his head: "I don't want the free one." He pushed the phone back to Duanmu.

Duanmu: "What if it costs money?"

Cui Jian: "Why would someone who wants money waste time going out to sea?"

The short-haired girl couldn't help laughing out loud. The two men looked at the short-haired girl together. The short-haired girl continued to blow the clay pot porridge in the spoon as if nothing had happened, as if the laughter had nothing to do with her.

Duanmu put away his phone angrily and asked, "What's the exam?"

Cui Jian: "Captain, practical operation."

Duanmu asked, "Did you buy a yacht?"

"No, I bought a second-hand fishing boat." Cui Jian seemed to be thinking about something, looked up at Duanmu, and said cautiously: "Boats and wives are not available for loan."

Duanmu was almost so angry that he bled. He knew Cui Jian was off today, so he specially arranged a day's program for him. He didn't expect that this guy not only didn't appreciate it at all, but also suspected that he was coveting his second-hand fishing boat.

In this case, Duanmu was half-hearted. He also understood that it was difficult to win over Cui Jian, but once he was won over by himself, it would be difficult for others to win him over. Duanmu looked at the short-haired girl, who raised a hint of sarcasm at the corner of her mouth. Duanmu admired her. Look at her. In order to recruit Cui Jian, she directly sent herself to the door. But is it worth spending so much money just for Cui Jian?

The short-haired girl saw Duanmu looking at her, and did not hide the provocation in her eyes. Duanmu chuckled and asked, "Cui Jian, what is the name of this beautiful girl?"

Cui Jian was stunned by the question. After thinking for a while, he said to Duanmu, "Name, weight and age are girls' privacy." After eating the last bite, he took the bowl into the kitchen.

Duanmu laughed silently, and the short-haired girl was annoyed. She wanted to take chopsticks into the kitchen to force Cui Jian to ask her name. Cui Jian walked out of the kitchen, and the two of them were as quiet as chickens. Cui Jian said: "I'm going out. Don't you have an appointment to play ball?"

Duanmu stood up and said, "Let's go together. By the way, Cui Jian, don't you like my friend's three best friends?"

Cui Jian: “I like them all.” This is the truth.

Duanmu: "Which one do you like best? I can introduce it to you."

Cui Jian: "I don't like it enough to waste my time." This is also true. If you can pay for it, you can like it, but if you have to spend time pursuing it and accompany it, forget it. No matter how beautiful the flowers are, they are not worth climbing mountains and wading through rivers to pick them, unless it is the one you like.

Cui Jian's strength is that he clearly distinguishes between public and private life. He is in one state during non-working hours and another state during working hours. During non-working hours, he would condemn the indiscriminate killing of the Seven Killers and express sympathy for the abducted children. Since Cui Jian has no emotional ties with the other members of the Seven Killers, only a work relationship, even if something happens to the Seven Killers, it will not affect his mood.

Just based on this point, no one would associate Cui Jian with Qi Sha.

Would Cui Jian's fighting ability in the bodyguard industry lead to suspicion from others? No one has ever said that Qi Sha has super strong fighting ability. In fact, the characteristics of Qi Sha members are different because of the different training officers they follow. For example, Ri Yao, who is known as the God of Snipers, is very bad at boxing and kicking. Cui Jian is good at close combat, but he can't parachute, and his concentration is poor and his thinking is not deep enough. The former Shui Yao's characteristic is that he can sneak into buildings silently, and his fighting ability is not at the same level as Cui Jian, otherwise he can't be easily controlled by Li Ran.

　Please stop cursing, man. I will add another chapter today.
