Chapter 138 Night Battle
A police car and a combat police van were parked on the side of the path leading into the forest. After verifying Cui Jian and Duanmu's identities, the police gave them headlamps and flashlights, as well as two backpacks of food and daily necessities.

Duanmu started to complain within three minutes of walking on the road: "I came here to be a bodyguard, how did it become a survival mission in the wild?"

Cui Jian said: "I have to say this safe house is really good. As long as we place two sentries near the path, it will be basically perfect."

Duanmu agreed. The forest has a complex terrain. If you don't take the small paths and rely on a compass or positioning to reach your destination, you are likely to encounter various dangers and be easily exposed. The people in the safe house can find intruders as soon as possible by placing cameras, motion alarms, and sound collection alarms in the forest area near the safe house.

This kind of safe house is an open one. You know where the safe house is, but you can't come.

Why do we need Duanmu and Cui Jian? There are six people in the Fengxue Group, all of whom are special forces who are good at forest combat and dormant. Their safe houses are all in the wild. But the leader of Fengxue found out in the afternoon that the location of the safe house had been leaked, and someone destroyed several cameras and alarms, opening a green channel for the bad guys. From this, it is certain that at least one of the six is ​​a traitor.

In order to deal with the traitor, the leader of the Snowstorm Group adopted a one-to-one approach. Although this method provided some security, it was a waste of manpower and energy, so they urgently needed someone they could fully trust to protect the butler.

Walking on the difficult mountain road in the dark, Duanmu basically understood the current situation through a phone call with Ai Li. The snowstorm team will carry out the mission in the forest for 5 days, and on the sixth day, they will take a helicopter to the vicinity of the court. At that time, the area near the court will be cleared.

The plan is good and simple. It is difficult for the bad guys to infiltrate. If they come with few people, they cannot defeat them. If they come with many people, it will inevitably alert the snowstorm. If you want to eliminate the snowstorm team that is familiar with the surrounding terrain, you need a lot of people. Even if you really can't defeat the snowstorm, you can retreat to the waterfall, apply for helicopter evacuation, or apply for support.

There are many tactics that can be deployed, with endless changes, to deal with various situations. The only loophole is that there is a werewolf among the six people. Cui Jian and Duanmu are obvious good guys, so how to catch the werewolf is the top priority in completing this protection work.

In order to prevent the werewolf from killing the butler, Team Leader Fengxue removed his weapons and stayed with the butler to prevent the butler from committing suicide or running around. Three team members in the surrounding forest monitored each other, and no one was allowed to approach the butler within 50 meters. Cui Jian and Duanmu Yao took over the team leader's work and stayed with the butler. The others only patrolled and guarded outside the enclosure and would not approach them. Anyone who approached rashly would be listed as an enemy.

As a killer, facing the snowy safe house, Cui Jian recommends that the killer sneak into it alone. As the Seven Killers, Cui Jian does not recommend any offensive method unless the police can be bribed. This is also the characteristic of the Seven Killers. It is not necessary to eliminate the target, but to make them live uncomfortably is success.

……

The journey was difficult and indescribable.

Duanmu and Cui Jian took over the security of the housekeeper who lived in the cave tent. The housekeeper was quite resistant. Duanmu told the housekeeper that you are just a competition, and the referee has set the rules for your competition. If you deliberately break the rules, both the winner and the loser will find you.

The housekeeper stopped making trouble after hearing this.

Everything was calm for the first two days. On the third night, gunshots were heard from the southeast. Fengxue 02 reported: "01 is down, 02 has taken over the command. There are two gunmen, and they are detouring to the south. 03 is holding, and 04 is retreating to slope No. 5."

A few minutes later, gunshots were heard from the south. 02 reported: "One person was knocked down. 02 was shot. 03 took over the command."

03 Ask: "Do you need emergency medical assistance?"

02 answered: "Shot in the leg, unable to move, no threat to life."

03: “I understand.”

02 took off his weapon and buzzer and put them on the ground. He took the assault rifle handed to him by the masked man next to him, pointed to the side, and walked around a huge protruding stone with two masked men, step by step approaching the cave where the housekeeper was. Another masked man went around to the southwest and exchanged fire with 03 who was defending. The distance between the two sides was more than 70 meters, and the trees blocked the shooting range, so the two sides formed an ineffective shooting state.

03 had called for the S.R. and medical support, and they were expected to arrive at the waterfall in 20 minutes, and the S.R. would join the battle in 25 minutes, so he was not in a hurry. The news he received was that there were only two gunmen, one of whom had been knocked down, and as long as he and his brother each held their own positions, they could easily wait for reinforcements.

Due to the long-term witness protection work, Fengxue, who originally had a strong desire to attack, does not think of attacking when encountering things, but defending and waiting for help.

As a traitor, 02 put on a ski cap and led the two criminals to 02 meters away from the cave. They were not captured by the camera and the alarm was not triggered. Criminal A used night vision goggles to observe for a long time but did not find anyone at the entrance of the cave. 7 explained softly that the cave was in the shape of a 12, with a horizontal length of about meters and a vertical length of about meters.

Gangster A waved his hand, and the three of them walked out of the forest, through the thorns and toward the cave. When they stepped over the edge of the thorns, the loose soil on the ground shook, and Cui Jian stood up. He hid in the hollow, covered with a thin layer of soil, because the hollow was obvious and no one would step into it.

Cui Jian stepped out of the recess, took a step forward, and plunged the dagger in his left hand into the temple of criminal B, and shot criminal A in the head with his right hand. Cui Jian was five meters away from 02, and his shooting range was blocked by criminal A. In addition, 02 reacted quickly, so it was too late for Cui Jian to attack again. Cui Jian decisively pulled criminal B's body to lie down together, and rolled back to the recess.

02 fired at the ground, but the bullets did not catch up with Cui Jian, so he subconsciously walked towards the recess. Duanmu, who was hiding at the entrance of the cave, came out, holding the gun with both hands, and fired five shots in a row, knocking down 02 who was seven meters away. Duanmu stepped towards 02, shooting at the fallen 02 as he walked, until he got close and confirmed that he was dead.

After hearing the gunshots, how could Duanmu and Cui Jian just foolishly guard the cave and wait for others to attack?

When he arrived at the cave on the first day, Duan Cui took a fancy to this ditch. The ditch was formed by the collapse of a large flat stone, which was very suitable for Tibetans. Dig the soil in the ditch and find some green plants with soil. If necessary, lie down and cover yourself with green plants and soil.

The criminals had night vision goggles but no rock-penetrating detectors, and they had preconceived notions that the two bodyguards were deep in the cave, so they were caught off guard by Cui Jian and Duanmu.

Duanmu kicked Gangster A and said, "Three of you dare to attack two of us, who do you think you are?" His disdain was very confident, and he might not be afraid of these three people. He squatted down and touched Gangster A's head, then Gangster B's head, and said, "Use your mobile phone to shine some light for me."

Cui Jian hid behind a rock and said, "I'll shoot you. Do you think the sniper can't see you?" He regretted it as soon as he said it. It would be better not to make any sound at all, as a bullet could fly out at any time in the dark forest.

Duanmu was persuaded by Cui Jian. He lay on the ground, took off his coat and covered his head and the head of criminal B. He used a flashlight to check the back of criminal B's head. As expected, he found a scar left by the brain-computer interface: "Dead bullet."

"Hmm?" Cui Jian asked, "How do you know?"

Duanmu: "There is a neat scar on the back of his head. Judging from the scar, it must have healed at least four months ago."

Cui Jian: "You know this too?"

"Heaven and earth, I know everything." Duanmu connected to Ellie via Bluetooth: "Kill three people."

Ellie said excitedly: "Well done."

Duanmu: "According to the rules, they can only send four killers. One died in Guangming Building, three died here, and one died in the southwest direction." It's overstaffed.

Ai Li said: "Duanmu, my job is to command and dispatch the witness protection team to protect the witnesses. As for the bet between Yao Ji and the mysterious boss, it has nothing to do with me."

Duanmu sneered: "So the Seven Killers' indiscriminate killing of innocent people is your responsibility, but the hundreds of thousands of children trafficked across borders every year have nothing to do with you." Hundreds of thousands are data on transnational trafficking. If the children produced and sold by each country are included, the number will be extremely terrifying.

Ellie was in a good mood and asked, "You are Qi Sha's enemy, why would you say such a thing?"

Duanmu corrected: "No, I have never been Qi Sha's enemy, and I never think of Qi Sha as my enemy. Even if there are conflicts at work in the future, we can discuss it." Cui Jian interrupted and asked: "Who is Qi Sha? We killed three Qi Sha?" His surprise was beyond words.

Duanmu said unhappily: "What the hell are you thinking about?" He was used to Cui Jian's frequent idleness.

Ai Li said seriously, "Duanmu, please understand that no country wants the National Criminal Court to interfere with their judicial work. The National Criminal Court is just a mouthpiece and has no law enforcement power. More than 40 countries agreed to form the Ice Spikes and grant them law enforcement power because the collateral damage of the Seven Killings killed many innocent people. You only see the positive effects of the Seven Killings, why do you avoid talking about the negative damage? You know the deceased Sasa, right? Sasa's parents were just an ordinary pair of oil workers, and they were easily wiped out with a word of collateral damage."

Ellie: "In the Plum Island Massacre, they were even more inhumane and shot all the people one by one. If you think this behavior is right, then there is nothing to say between you and me."

After a long while, Duanmu let out a long breath: "Forget it, we are all small people, why bother arguing for the so-called justice? Inform your superiors, the number of assassins has exceeded the rules, and they can no longer assassinate the butler."

Ellie: “Okay.”

Duanmu and Cui Jian returned to the cave and added some wood to the fire beside the tent. Duanmu looked at the rising flames and said to Cui Jian, "I'm such an idiot that I actually debated about right and wrong with Ellie." After saying that, he looked at Cui Jian, who didn't care at all and found a comfortable position to lie down.

Duanmu continued: "Ali is actually not wrong. I shouldn't use the case of coronary heart disease to prove the incompetence and bias of pediatricians." Ai Li's job is to combat the transnational criminal activities of the Seven Killers. As for anti-trafficking cases, they have basically nothing to do with her.

Cui Jian asked: "Did you sleep with her?"

Duanmu was shocked: "No."

Cui Jian asked: "Have you ever slept with him?"

Duanmu hesitated for a while and said, "A few years ago, about three years ago, when she was still a supervisor of the witness protection team. We met in Austria, where she was on vacation. But her name was Shirley at the time, and mine was Alex."

Cui Jian was speechless: "You two even made a one-day relationship so hypocritical, you are really a perfect match. Do you have feelings for each other?"

Duanmu: "No, but I don't mind sleeping with her again. After all, she left a deep impression on me. By the way, you are not bad, why haven't you found a girlfriend yet?"

Cui Jian looked outside the hole and said: "Who knows what will happen if you do this crappy job? Let's drink while we can."

Duanmu became interested: "I'll take you to some good places when we get back."

Cui Jian sighed: "Now I am a house slave."

Duanmu said disdainfully: "I'll treat you."

Cui Jian still shook his head: "I don't like prostitutes." He hated the strong smell of rouge and perfume.

Ellie contacted Duan Cui, and the two connected through Bluetooth. Ellie said: "The helicopter has set off to take you to the hotel. The other party admitted that the assassination of the butler failed and will not attack the butler again."

Cui Jian asked back: "Is it credible?"

Ai Li said: "Cui Jian, your biggest weakness is that you have too little experience. You must know that in this kind of gambling, those who break their promises will inevitably pay a heavy price."

Duanmu: "Does this mean that Yao Ji won?"

Ellie: "No, there are still a few days."

Game rules: If the butler dies before the court appearance, Zhishan’s family wins. If Guanzi is not rescued before the court appearance, Yaoji’s family wins. If Guanzi is rescued or dies before the court appearance, Zhishan’s family wins. Zhishan’s family represents the mysterious boss.

Since the butler cannot die before the court appearance, the first condition will not be triggered. The core of the duel between the two bosses is Guanzi. If Guanzi is still in Yaoji's hands when the court appearance, the butler can only accuse Zhishan's family because his son's life is threatened. If Guanzi has been rescued or died when the court appearance, the butler has no worries and will not accuse Zhishan's family.

At that time, Cui Jian refused Duanmu's request to fire him and insisted on enjoying the $10,000 per day salary and happy hotel time. In the following days, the housekeeper was not attacked again. After the protection period expired, Cui Jian, Duanmu and the witness protection team sent the housekeeper safely to the court.

A powerful dragon cannot defeat a local snake, and Yao Ji held onto the pipe. Because his son was in Yao Ji's hands, the housekeeper testified against Zhi Shan's father, and Zhi Shan's father was arrested in court, which meant that the mysterious boss's dream of annexing the Hancheng Bai Gang was shattered. However, it is said that Yao Ji and the mysterious boss have met several times recently, and the two will jointly run a business centered on the Bai Gang, including the reconstruction of the Hancheng Shelter.

The main force of the Yaoji team is in Hancheng, and the shelter is built in Hancheng, which shows that the Yaoji team has taken a dominant position. The Yaoji team eats meat, and the mysterious boss drinks soup. This result is somewhat unexpected to people in the circle. After all, just a few months ago, the Yaoji team lost a group of senior personnel.

After hearing what Duanmu said, Cui Jian had only one question: Why does Nemo have a special liking for Hancheng?

Duanmu replied: Nemo was most seriously hurt in Hancheng and must stand up again in Hancheng, otherwise they will never be able to get rid of the fear of Qi Sha in their hearts. Hancheng will be the battlefield between Nemo and Qi Sha in the past, present and future.

……

Cui Jian finished his work and returned to his residence, but still did not see Ye Rannuo. After thinking for a moment, Cui Jian called Ye Rannuo: "Ye Zi, I bought a house and I will probably move out within this month."

Ye Rannuo asked in surprise: "Are you moving?"

Cui Jian: "Well, there are still three months' rent left. You can live here as you like, and you don't have to pay me." He is now a billionaire, and his monthly mortgage is calculated in tens of millions. A few million is no longer a big deal for him.

Cui Jian waited for a long time, but there was no response from Ye Rannuo. He glanced at the screen and saw that Ye Rannuo was still on the phone. Cui Jian: "Hello?" Was she so moved that she cried?

"Oh, I see." Ye Rannuo replied.

It seems that this girl is still immersed in the haze of Sasa's death. As the Seven Killers, he should have investigated who her and Sasa's boss is, but that is the business of the hellhounds. Cui Jian is not optimistic about Ye Rannuo. If Ye Rannuo really works for Chopin, the Seven Killers will most likely eliminate him first if they take action again.

In other words, Chopin has means, generosity, and ideas. But his planning ability is average. As for why it is average, Cui Jian doesn't know. Anyway, it was broken by the housekeeper and the hellhound, so it is average.

Ye Rannuo: "I have something else to do here, I'll hang up first."

Cui Jian: "Goodbye."
