Chapter 135 Heavy Rain
Cui Jian was about to say something when his phone vibrated and he hung up the Bluetooth: “Hello.”

Duanmu: "I'll take the project, come and help me."

Cui Jian: “Which project?”

Duanmu: "Protect the housekeeper."

Cui Jian: “The money is too little.”

Duanmu: "I'll hire you for $10,000 a day. Before you answer, think about this question: When you approached me, did I ever reject you?"

Cui Jian thought for a long time and said, "Then you can't refuse me when I come to you in the future."

Duanmu said unhappily, "There are only four bodyguards, a manager, and a manager's confidant left in a shabby company. There are only two of us workers left. How can we refuse?"

Cui Jian: "Don't change the concept."

Duanmu said helplessly: "Okay."

Cui Jian and Yu Ming talked about this project. Yu Ming said, "It's said that it's Zhishan's father versus Yaoji, but in fact it's the mysterious boss versus Yaoji. To be honest, this housekeeper is very dangerous. Objectively speaking, the witness protection team has always been small, and it is not allowed to waste a lot of resources on a witness. This is a weakness for the police protecting the housekeeper. Subjectively speaking, the housekeeper wants to die. If he dies, the master wins, and his son has no value. The matter has turned into a gamble. I think Yaoji will definitely release the housekeeper after the housekeeper dies."

Yu Ming: "But the main force of this project is the police. You are paid daily wages, so just stay away from the housekeeper and slack off. Speaking of this, don't you doubt Duanmu's identity?"

Cui Jian: "Justice League, maybe has other identities. Duanmu is very arrogant, I'm not worried that he will shoot me in the back." It has to be said that Cui Jian likes Duanmu Yuan quite a bit.

Seeing that Cui Jian had an idea, Yu Ming stopped talking and started analyzing the real estate market.

……

At nine o'clock that evening, Cui Jian and Duanmu went to the Hancheng Security Ellie Group. They were temporarily under the command of the Ellie Group and assisted the local witness protection team in Hancheng to protect the housekeeper's safety.

Cui Jian, who is smart but doesn't use his brain much, doesn't understand why Duanmu and Ai Li are involved in a murder case. But he doesn't care. He is more concerned about the project: since there is a witness protection team, why do they need bodyguards, and why do they contact the bodyguards of Dayin Security?

Ellie briefly explained the reason: the police were infiltrated like a sieve. This was the bad nature of developed countries. All the police in the mysterious big country were upright and had good deeds to protect them. It was impossible for them to be corrupted.

Ellie said: "According to our information, many mercenaries have come to Hancheng for tourism recently." Weapons cannot be brought on tours, but there are weapons locally.

Cui Jian looked grim: "We are going to confront the mercenaries head-on?"

Ellie did not give a direct answer, and said: "The Storm Team is responsible for protecting the housekeeper's safety for seven days and for sending him to the court safely after seven days. I am the commander of the Storm Team. I am short of manpower, so I thought of you... and you." Ellie said that you were looking at Cui Jian, and realized something was wrong, so she added Duanmu and you.

Ellie explained: "You are two units, mainly responsible for outdoor work and support work." For example, if Baoyu and the housekeeper are hiding in an apartment in the apartment building, Cui Jian and Duanmu will be arranged outside the apartment building to be responsible for the reception and investigation work.

Cui Jian: "It sounds like we are human alarms. But who doesn't know that we should destroy the alarm before doing bad things? Ellie, we are acquaintances after all, why are you causing trouble for me?"

The more Cui Jian said this, the more relieved Ai Li was. She had been annoyed by the traitor recently. After all, who doesn't love money? Ai Li said patiently: "You are my student. I believe in your ability."

Cui Jian thought for a while, considering whether to increase the salary. To be honest, $10,000 a day is higher than the salary of mercenaries in combat, but the mercenaries are hired in battalions.

I originally thought that I could do some fishing for $10,000 a day. But when I heard that I had to stand outside the enclosure as an alarm, it meant that I had to pay attention to the surrounding situation at all times. How could I bear that? Who am I? I am a big boss with billions of assets. But I did agree to Duanmu.

Duanmu and Ai Li watched Cui Jian's face change, and finally he nodded with a look of being shocked. Duanmu felt relieved, as he felt relieved for the last Lemon project.

Ellie took out two new mobile phones: "Don't bring your own mobile phone while working."

Cui Jian: "What should I do if my wife wants to give birth?"

Ellie was puzzled. Duanmu knew Cui Jian's character and said angrily, "Don't even think about it." It was impossible to ask for more money.

"Ha." Cui Jian smiled awkwardly.

The two left Hancheng Security, and Cui Jian got into Duanmu's car. Duanmu looked at Cui Jian sitting in the passenger seat, and suddenly felt that he shouldn't have bought a car. Cui Jian adjusted the seat and leaned back: "GO!"

……

The rainstorm safe house was in a bright office building. This office building was very ordinary, nine stories high, and had a general geographical environment. However, the two did not know the specific location of the safe house. Duanmu chose a location where he could see the main entrance and parked the car on the side of the road.

Cui Jian reminded: "This place is not safe." There was a sidewalk on the right. A gunman passed by and fired a few shots. He and Duanmu had no way to escape, and were like targets fixed in place. In Cui Jian's mind, the car had to move. If it didn't move, it would be like an iron coffin.

Duanmu asked: "What suggestions do you have?"

Cui Jian: "There is a parking lot five hundred meters away."

Duanmu: "Isn't the distance too far? How can we find out that there are criminals near the building in the first place?"

Cui Jian: "You are stupid. If there are criminals, we are in danger. If there are no criminals, who cares where we are."

Duanmu asked: "What you mean is: if there are no criminals attacking, we will perform security work outside the perimeter. If there are criminals attacking, we will perform support work?"

Cui Jian nodded with satisfaction: I am very pleased.

Duanmu: "Your work attitude was pretty good before, why are you so focused on slacking off today?"

Cui Jian: "Who told Ellie to use us as targets? Did you see the black van across the street? There are people inside. They are probably not criminals, but another group of people protecting the housekeeper. They are most likely mercenaries. It's just that they don't have the right to carry guns, so they can't show up."

Duanmu said nothing. This time it was not only a contest between Yao Ji and the mysterious boss, but also a contest between the special forces and the execution team. The annual performance review of the two teams was about to begin. After the execution team lost Lemon last time, someone proposed to merge the special forces and the execution team into one, and hand over all the armed forces of Nemo to the mysterious and capable special forces captain.

What does this mean? This means that Duanmu, as the captain of the special forces team, will have basic information about all Nemo members. He can control any Nemo at any time and know everything about Nemo. Nemo members are all rich people who provide huge funds to the two teams every year and use their power to give the green light to their actions.

The combination of special forces and execution was not in Duanmu's plan. He planned that his confidant could enter the execution team as captain, or at least deputy captain. Only in this way can his dome plan be launched. Unfortunately, his two strong supporters in Nemo, the two executive vice presidents, died in the Giant Wood Club, but an executive vice president who supported the captain of the execution team escaped. He was forced to smack the faces of the execution team again and again. The housekeeper must not die, but his companion clearly wanted to be a master of slacking off, and Duanmu had a headache just thinking about it. In this gambling, the execution team and the mysterious boss will send no more than 4 killers, and will not provide intelligence and technical support to the 4 people. Duanmu, the captain of the special forces, commissioned Duanmu to hire a bodyguard to assist the police in protecting the housekeeper, and the special forces team will not provide intelligence and technical support.

Under such a bad situation, Cui Jian was still thinking about slacking off and getting daily wages. Duanmu felt that he had chosen the wrong person.

But what Cui Jian said made sense. Parking the car here would only expose it to bullets, so Duanmu reluctantly drove the car to the parking lot. It was different in the parking lot. If people wanted to see the license plate clearly, they had to get closer. Cui Jian got out of the car and walked around. It was 11 o'clock at night, and there were no cars in the open-air parking lot.

Cui Jian noticed the location of the camera, then dug in a nearby trash can until he found a broken clothes hanger. He then sneaked to a dusty car, inserted the clothes hanger through the window glass, and then lifted it up, opening the car door. OK, the safe house was there.

Duanmu originally planned to stay up late, but at 2 a.m. he was so sleepy that even black coffee didn't work, so he had to get into Cui Jian's car and go to sleep in the back seat. He slept until 9 a.m. the next day, and when he woke up, his first thought was: Cui Jian makes money so easily.

Cui Jian handed the burger to the back seat, but Duanmu didn't take it. He didn't brush his teeth, so he had bad breath and dry mouth, which made him lose his appetite. Cui Jian seemed to know what Duanmu was thinking and said, "Chewing a few more times is equivalent to brushing your teeth."

Duanmu didn't answer. The phone vibrated and the two of them put on their Bluetooth headsets. Ai Li said, "The housekeeper asked to go out for a walk and have lunch."

Cui Jian: “No.”

Ellie was at a loss whether to laugh or cry: "He is a witness. If he has a strong attitude, we can only satisfy him." Unlike in the past, this is a witness who is not afraid of death and may even seek death.

Duanmu said: "I'm worried that someone will pass on false information to him."

Ellie: “Oh?”

Duanmu said: "If someone tells the housekeeper now that Guanzi is dead, the housekeeper may give up testifying. Even if the housekeeper cherishes his life and continues to testify, he will ask to see the child. We must produce evidence that Guanzi is still alive."

Cui Jian: "Can we do something practical? Don't beat around the bush just to get away with it."

Who are you saying is slacking off? Duanmu was confused and continued, "From what we can see so far, the Storm Team is trustworthy and there are no major safety issues. We are just worried about various emergencies."

Ellie: "I'll tell the Storm Team to be on the lookout... A suspected sniper has been spotted. It's 11 meters away from the main entrance of the Bright Office Building at 400 o'clock. It's on the top floor of the Bright Office Building, the fourth room from the left."

Cui Jian: “Got it.” Then he hung up the phone.

Duanmu opened the car door and looked back at Cui Jian. Cui Jian looked at Duanmu: "What's wrong?"

"Let's go."

Cui Jian: "Where to?"

Duanmu: "Confirmed sniper."

Cui Jian: "Why should we worry about such a thing? Besides, if there really is a sniper who knows the housekeeper's location, he would have been dead by the time we got there. I think the criminals did this to confirm the secret sentry and investigate the housekeeper's location in the office building, so they deliberately set up a trap."

This makes sense, but Duanmu felt that Cui Jian simply didn't want to go.

Duanmu said: "At least it means that Mingliang Office Building has been exposed. The killer just doesn't know where the housekeeper is now. In this case, they will send people to infiltrate Mingliang Office Building to collect intelligence."

Cui Jian said: "You are a low-level worker, can you please stop worrying about your boss's business? You care whether he is exposed or not, whether he wants to infiltrate or not, that is Ellie's job. If you interfere, the blame will be put on you, saying that your rash actions exposed the location of Mingliang's office building and the housekeeper."

Cui Jian: "Working is like squeezing toothpaste. The boss squeezes it and we move. If the boss doesn't say anything, we won't do it. For example, the boss tells you to put away the clothes on the balcony, and we put them away. At this time, you find a pair of pants on the balcony. Would you put them away or not?"

Duanmu: "Of course."

Cui Jian: "But these pants were hung up later and need to be dried for a while longer, so the boss will scold you and ask you to collect the clothes. Why are you collecting pants? Are you illiterate?"

Duanmu: "But..."

Cui Jian: "The more you work, the more mistakes you make, especially for people like us who are paid daily. As long as the boss doesn't say anything, we won't move. You can understand it this way. When Ellie told you that there was a sniper in Guangming Building, what she meant was: don't enter the sniper's shooting range. Instead of: go and confirm the sniper. What if Ellie has other plans? What if she wants to go fishing?"

As a Seventh Assassin, don't worry about what the butler and the hellhound do, or what their purpose is. Don't move without an order. Of course, the hellhound's order is usually a macro order, such as clearing all targets on the first floor. As for how to clear them, it's up to the Seventh Assassin. But if there is no order to clear the targets on the first floor, the Seventh Assassin will not attack the first floor, nor will he ask why he doesn't attack the first floor, and he will not suggest attacking the first floor.

Duanmu felt that what Cui Jian said made sense, but the problem was that he was not an employee, he was a shareholder, half a boss. Just as he was about to speak, Ai Li called again: "The fire alarm in Mingliang Building has sounded, and everyone is being evacuated."

Cui Jian: “I understand.” This is where Cui Jian and Ellie don’t get along. Ellie is used to informing the situation, and the on-site personnel will handle it according to the situation. Cui Jian did not receive any action orders, and simply accepted all the intelligence.

Duanmu: "Is it a real fire alarm or a fake one?"

Cui Jian glared at Duanmu, who was truly a rotten wood that could not be carved: Why do you care whether it is true or not.

Ellie: "We are still confirming from multiple angles. The rainstorm has not yet activated the evacuation plan."

Duanmu: "The snipers before should be observers. I think they created a false fire alarm so that they could observe the bright building from outside the perimeter and find the rooms that were not evacuated immediately."

Cui Jian rolled his eyes endlessly: This kid is hopeless. You are wrong, the blame is on you. You are right, someone fell down in the process, the blame is still on you. You are right, the crisis was resolved successfully, that was Ellie's meritorious command.

Duanmu said to Cui Jian seriously: "I am your boss now, you must come with me."

It doesn't matter! Cui Jianyi spread his hands and took Duanmu's car to the vicinity of Mingliang Building.

At this time, the fire alarm in Mingliang Building was still wailing, but the people inside the building walked out of the door calmly without any quarrel or shoving. There was no smoke or fire.

The incident continued for about another 5 minutes, the alarm was turned off, and after the property security guard explained the situation to the people gathered outside the building, everyone re-entered the bright building.

Cui Jian: “That’s it?” Fire drill?
Duanmu shook his head, stared at the bright building in deep thought for a long time, and contacted Ai Li: "Send the surveillance footage of the first floor since the fire started, and the surveillance footage outside the front door and the back door to my private email."
