Chapter 142 Yiyi
Shi Feng had no choice but to leave in a huff. Cui Jian was still thinking about what happened between Ai Li and Shi Feng. Someone knocked on the door. Cui Jian said, "Come in." The knocking continued. Cui Jian sighed. Why do we need to soundproof the door? Is it easy for me? I have to hurt my leg to open the door. However, most visitors knocked on the door and waited for a while before pushing it open.

Cui Jian continued to look at the door. He had no intention of getting out of bed to open the door. The doctor said that he should not walk if possible in the first few days.

Finally, after knocking on the door for the third time, Ye Lan pushed the door open and walked in, followed by two bodyguards standing outside the ward. Ye Lan looked at Cui Jian, who was lying on the bed. His face was like a rainbow, with all kinds of colors. Cui Jian was stunned for a moment. It was also the first time he saw someone change at least four expressions in just a dozen steps.

Ye Lan sat down and looked at Cui Jian. Cui Jian also blinked and looked at Ye Lan. Ye Lan: "Give me a minute." She stood up, walked to the window, and stood straight facing the window.

Cui Jian immediately had a bad feeling: he was going to be fired. The reason: you were the one who had the most trouble. Actually, it was okay. Based on Cui Jian's opinion of Ye Lan, Ye Lan would at least give him a few hundred million to compensate him.

Ye Lan sat back down, as if she had made up her mind. She looked into Cui Jian's eyes and said, "I'm busy."

Cui Jian: “I know.”

Ye Lan: "Yes, I am very busy. I only sleep six hours a day. It's not just about the company. I also have many investment projects at home and abroad. In order to keep the Ye family's position in the consortium, I also have to take some time out to attend high-level banquets, such as the birthday of the Li family's grandmother. I have a very capable general assistant by my side. He has three assistants who help me share a lot of work. But there are some things that I still need to do myself."

Ye Lan paused and looked at Cui Jian, who nodded in confusion: "I know." I don't know, but I can know, but why do you want me to know?

Ye Lan: "But sometimes I have time."

Cui Jian had no idea what Ye Lan was talking about, so he could only say, "I know."

Ye Lan continued, "For me, career is the most important. Career includes company, work, achievements, charity and so on. For example, my alma mater invites successful graduates. It may seem unimportant, but it is also very important to me."

Cui Jian continued to nod: "I know."

Ye Lan was very satisfied and asked, "Can you accept these situations?"

Cui Jian nodded: "Of course." Why not? It's none of my business.

Ye Lan looked very happy and said, "Then I agree."

Cui Jian looked at Ye Lan in confusion and asked, "What next?" What's the topic? What do you want to say?
Hearing Cui Jian's question, Ye Lan's expression became strange. She lowered her head slightly and seemed to be hesitant to speak. Then she bravely went up to him and kissed him.

This kiss made Cui Jian feel as if his Ren and Du meridians were opened. He crawled backwards with all four limbs, and fell headfirst under the bed. Ye Lan hurriedly went around him, and Cui Jian retreated again and again, leaning against the wall. He looked at Ye Lan in horror, asking from the bottom of his heart: "What are you doing?"

Seeing this, Ye Lan was at a loss and whispered, "Just a kiss."

Cui Jian: "Why a kiss? Or a kiss on the lips?"

Ye Lan: "Because you are my boyfriend."

Cui Jian was shocked: "When did I become your boyfriend?"

Ye Lan: "Just now, you accepted it."

Cui Jian hurriedly said: "No, no, let me sort out the situation... I saved you, and you fell in love with me."

Ye Lan corrected him: "You love me, you saved me. I don't have high requirements for boyfriends and husbands. Although I don't love you, you are suitable. The bodyguard profession is dangerous. After you die, I can still use the excuse that I only love you and concentrate on my career."

Cui Jian interrupted: "Sister, I don't love you, and I don't want to be your boyfriend."

Ye Lan didn't believe it: "Then you followed me for two consecutive days and almost died trying to save me?"

Cui Jian explained: "I followed you because I had a feeling that Han Ren was still alive and I was afraid that you were in danger. After all, you are my financial sponsor and I just took on a mortgage, so you must not die. As for the fact that I almost lost my life trying to save you, to be honest, I underestimated her." To be more precise, he underestimated Han Ren's female apprentice.

Ye Lan took a long time to come back to her senses: "You have no feelings for me at all?"

Cui Jian thought about it seriously for a while: "That's not the case." The touch of kissing is still very good.

Cui Jian added: "But we are still far from being boyfriend and girlfriend."

Ye Lan: "But I don't have time for love or to cultivate feelings."

Cui Jian said: "Mr. Ye, let's forget about this matter. No, we can't forget it completely." If you are willing to give me a red envelope, I can accept it reluctantly.

I don't know what Ye Lan was thinking about, but she smiled a little and nodded: "Yeah, I understand."

Cui Jian shook his head, his face full of doubt: "I don't think you understand."

Ye Lan said: "If you have any needs, especially financial needs, you can tell me directly."

Cui Jian said with relief: "The boss is the boss." That's clear.

Ye Lan said: "Similarly, if I have any needs or need help, I will tell you directly."

Cui Jian nodded: "Yeah."

Ye Lan asked: "Then do you think I understand?"

Cui Jian nodded repeatedly: "I understand." Cui Jian understood: I won't give you a red envelope this time. If you can't pay the mortgage, come to me and I'll help you. If I need to deal with some personal matters, please help me with it.

Ye Lan stretched out her hand: "Get up."

Cui Jian gave his left hand to Ye Lan, and stood up with his right hand against the wall, tiptoeing back to the bed. Ye Lan looked at her watch and said, "I have a work lunch appointment, so I'll leave first."

Cui Jian: "Goodbye, boss."

"Goodbye." Ye Lan turned and left without looking back.

Cui Jian licked his lips, tilted his head to look at the ceiling and savored the taste: It tastes good, but it would be better if you could give me another check.

Cui Jian didn't take it seriously, and Ye Lan didn't care either. This sensible girl had taken on the responsibility of being a child of the Ye family very early. She had time to make money but no time to spend money. Even if she could squeeze out time to cultivate emotions, she hoped to have a meal with her family instead of having a relationship. She didn't have the time to do that.

Facing her lifesaver, Ye Lan gave positive feedback. She stated that she did not have time and would rather spend her time on giving a speech at her alma mater than on love. If Cui Jian could accept it on this basis, she could accept it too. She knew Cui Jian to some extent. It was not a problem that they were not well-matched. As long as Cui Jian did not interfere with her career, she did not even need Cui Jian to provide her with additional emotional value.

Having Cui Jian as a boyfriend is a great benefit to Ye Lan. As a single beauty walking in the business world, there are always people who deliberately get close to her because of family background, interests, admiration or other reasons. Even in cooperation talks, many people will bring up the topic of marriage and love, which makes her very upset. Now, Cui Jian can be used as a shield by her, and even marriage is not impossible.

Would she be laughed at for dating a bodyguard? That would be a joke. She herself was from a wealthy family, who would dare to laugh at her? Would it be those socialites and rich ladies who only knew how to talk about love? Or the rich wives who were proud of their husbands' careers?

As for fighting for the family property and poisoning herself to obtain the inheritance, Ye Lan did not consider such a possibility at all. On the first day she decided to become a strong woman, she had already made a will.

Ye Lan's opposite example is Li Qin. Li Qin does not have any equity, but she has a lot of money, which she can't spend. Her job is to be happy. As long as she doesn't cross the red line, she can have fun as she pleases. Therefore, love is the best partner in Li Qin's life. In Ye Lan's view, a boyfriend or husband is just a position that can help her reduce troubles. Of course, it would be better if it can provide some additional emotional value.

……

Cui Jian was discharged from the hospital the next day. Because he could not use his left leg in the near future, he could only use crutches. Under such circumstances, he could not take on any more projects.

During the week that Cui Jian was resting, Chunque and Qiuya carried out five successful assassinations in several cities in South Korea outside Hancheng. Qiuya carried out an assassination in Hancheng, in which one of the two assassins died and the other escaped, the employer was seriously injured, and two of the four bodyguards were seriously injured and one was slightly injured.

Apparently, the match between Yao Ji and the mysterious boss did not affect the business of Chun Que and Qiu Ya. What made all the upper class people uneasy was that Guo Xing disclosed a piece of information: the two major international kidnapping gangs, Black Bird and Northern Harrier, would land in Japan and South Korea. As the closest Korean city to Japan, Hancheng had been identified by them as the main business promotion location.

It is said that intelligence personnel from Blackbird and Northern Harrier entered Hancheng two months ago. Their purpose was to scout the area and look for the most cost-effective targets.

Take Blackbird as an example. Their target is the relatives of the sponsor. First, they have to make sure that the relatives are important enough to the sponsor. The importance is marked by money. For example, 20 billion for a daughter, 10 billion for a son, and 5 million for a wife. Next, they have to fully understand the target's life and list the difficulty of kidnapping with numbers. For example, the difficulty is high for a daughter, 9 points, and the difficulty is low for a wife, only 2 points.

Next, Blackbird's staff will enter Hancheng and set up a safe house for kidnapping hostages. The requirements are not high. Ships, containers, apartments, basements, cars, suburbs, etc. are all fine.

The next step is for professional kidnappers to enter Hancheng. Although they don’t know Hancheng, the intelligence personnel have provided enough information and the logistics personnel have prepared vehicles and safe houses, so they only need to take action.

Li Ran pointed to the instructions on the projector with a long stick in the conference room: "72 hours is the golden time for rescue, but our work does not include rescue. Remember, we are bodyguards, not police, not detectives, not bounty hunters. If the employer is lost, it is lost."

Li Ran: "Generally speaking, kidnappers are less armed and their attacks are less intense, after all, they need living victims. But the Blackbird and Northern Harrier are well-known overseas, Blackbird for its credibility, Northern Harrier for its brutality. According to the analysis of their case files, Blackbird usually does not attack targets with bodyguards. Northern Harriers have no scruples, and once they appear on the scene, they will kill the bodyguards as quickly as possible."

Blackbirds are traditional kidnappers with credibility. But Northern Harriers do not need credibility. When they kidnap people, they will force the victims to transfer money overseas as quickly as possible, and even ask them to take out loans through mobile phone operations. Regardless of whether there is any result, they will kill the victims within 72 hours.

Li Ran: "Next up are our old friends Chunque and Qiuya. I have some good or bad news here. According to my friend, who I don't know if it's reliable or not, Chunque and Qiuya have listed Dayin Security as a dangerous company. The good news is that when they face our project, they will carefully consider it and ask for a higher remuneration, which may cause the employer to give up the assassination. The bad news is that they will kill us as soon as they meet us."

Li Ran gestured to turn off the projector, sat down, and said to the three bodyguards and the boss who were slacking off, "A dead bullet appeared in the gambling game with Yao Ji, so it will only get more chaotic. If you walk by the river often, you will get your feet wet. I hope that when you accept commissions, you should not only focus on the rewards, but also consider the risks."

Li Ran was afraid that Cui Jian didn't know what he was talking about, so he added: "Under normal circumstances, a personal bodyguard working in a city will only encounter danger once every three years. Even if Hancheng is special, it is impossible to encounter danger every month."

Cui Jian explained, "I am now a house slave, and I still have 15 billion to pay on my mortgage." He glanced at Ye Lan, the dead woman who refused to pay the red envelope after kissing him. If he hadn't cut 15 billion from his friend Duanmu Yuan, how could he afford the sky-high mortgage.

Ye Lan was carefully looking at the optimized asset investment table and did not notice Cui Jianqiu's look when he asked her to transfer money.

Li Ran didn't laugh, and said seriously: "Generally speaking, international criminal gangs are less likely to attack entertainment stars. There are many reasons for this. I won't explain them one by one, so as to avoid you yawning all the time."

Everybody laughed.

Li Ran said: "The current situation in Hancheng is unclear. I suggest, strongly suggest, that in the next two months, our company only accepts projects from entertainment stars."

Li Ran saw the vibrating phone in front of him, picked it up and answered it: "Ask her to come directly to the meeting room."

Li Ran stood up and said, "In addition to bodyguards, the company is also short of a senior hacker. This hacker has won the first place in the North American Hacker Competition twice. Because of some illegal activities, she was blacklisted by the FBI and was banned from working in related fields. Mr. Ye thought of many ways to apply for a work visa for her and persuaded the FBI to agree to let her work in our company."

After saying that, there was a knock on the door. The door was pushed open by Ye Mi, and a girl walked in from behind her.

The girl looked to be about 40 or years old, meters tall, kilograms in weight, and very thin. Although her hair was well-groomed, it was obviously frizzy. These were not her main characteristics. Her main characteristic was coldness. Her face was as white as paper, an unhealthy white lacking in blood color, very close to the whiteness of female ghosts in movies and TV dramas, which made people feel cold at first sight. In addition, her unfocused eyes and expressionless face gave people a sense of horror.

Of course, Ye Lan and Duanmu were the only ones in the conference room who were shocked. It was normal for Ye Lan to be shocked, because a girl of 40 meters tall weighing only kilograms was enough to make people worry that she would vomit blood and faint at any time.

Duanmu Jing was surprised and stood up and said, "Yiyi, Ximen Yiyi."

Cui Jian: "Do you know him?"

Duanmu said: "She was arrested for something and detained in a hotel. She was not allowed to use mobile phones and computers. Unexpectedly, she used the hotel's TV remote control and mobile phone to hack into large companies including Rockstar servers."
