Chapter 143 Grudges

Cui Jian immediately gave a look of disbelief, but Li Ran ignored him and said, "Let me introduce you to everyone. This is Ximen Yiyi. This is our boss, Mr. Ye Lan."

Ximen Yiyi stared at Ye Lan and said in English, "Hello, Mr. Ye." There was no emotion in her voice.

"Hello."

Li Ran: "You've seen Diudiu."

Diudiu smiled: "Nice to see you again." The smile seemed a little forced, as if there were some bad memories.

Ximen Yiyi: "I am very happy too."

Li Ran: "Duanmu."

Ximen Yiyi's eyes finally moved a little, and she looked at Duanmu: "That illegitimate child?"

Duanmu held back his anger and asked, "Miss Yiyi, do you have a big problem with me being an illegitimate child?"

Ximen Yiyi shook her head: "I just helped your father's wife find you, and I only know your identity."

Li Ran quickly smoothed things over, saying, "Cui Jian lived in Dezhou in his early years."

Cui Jian: "Hello, Miss Yiyi."

Ximen Yiyi: "Hello, just call me Yiyi, everyone can just call me Yiyi."

Li Ran said, "Ximen lives in the Xiadun Hotel near the company." Then he asked Yiyi, "Do you need to buy any daily necessities?"

Yiyi: “I’ve already bought it online.”

Li Ran looked at Secretary Ye at the door and said, "Please take Miss Yiyi to the hotel. Yiyi, if you need anything, you can contact me or Secretary Ye.

"it is good."

Li Ran asked: "Can I go to work tomorrow?"

Yiyi: "Okay, I'll check everyone's phones tomorrow."

Li Ran nodded: "Okay."

After watching the conference room door close, Li Ran said, "Yiyi is only responsible for network security. She can work anywhere she wants, but she cannot leave Hancheng, otherwise she will be deported back to the United States."

Duanmu: "Why do you ask such a big Buddha to do the job of sweeping the floor?"

Li Ran said seriously, "No, network security is very important. Take our pistols as an example. The pistols are equipped with a positioning system. Any good hacker can get the location of our bodyguards. After Yiyi restructured the network, hackers must break through the firewall she set up to get the location. In addition, she will protect everyone's mobile phones from being wiretapped or monitored."

Li Ran said: "From cars to home appliances, intelligence is becoming more and more common. For example, our security equipment is basically intelligent. When facing ordinary hackers, the defense measures built into the product are sufficient, but now we may have to face a mature transnational criminal gang, and we need a technical expert who can handle it."

Duanmu said: "It is said that Yiyi's health is not very good. She has a shallow sleep and is easily awakened. This has caused her to suffer from neurasthenia and thus imbalance of qi and blood."

Cui Jian was surprised and asked: "How do you know?"

Duanmu: "She helped my father and his wife to find me, how can I not give her a token of gratitude?" That was the greatest humiliation in Duanmu's life, and it could be said to be the only time he was humiliated. He was forced to be slapped several times by his wife in front of many people and the media, and was spat on by her.

After this incident, Duanmu's mother passed away soon, his sister suffered from depression, and Duanmu cut ties with his father.

Although Duanmu's father was a famous Chinese businessman, Duanmu's mother was also rich. The couple worked hard together and built a company together. But before getting married, Duanmu's father chose another woman. This woman was an only child, and her parents left her a large inheritance. Most importantly, this woman was bad and stupid, and easy to manipulate.

For the sake of face, Duanmu's mother married an honest man while she was pregnant with Duanmu and gave birth to a younger sister. A year later, the honest man died in an accident. As the white moonlight of Duanmu's father, Duanmu's mother was naturally in love. After the honest man's death, the two had been entangled. However, Duanmu's father knew his wife's temper and did a good job of keeping it secret.

When Duanmu was in college, his wife, with the help of Yiyi, found Duanmu's house and smashed it with more than a dozen people. Duanmu didn't take them seriously, but his wife threw a stack of photos at him, all of which were uncivilized photos of his parents. She threatened him to upload them to the Internet. In order to protect his sister and mother, he could only kneel down and kowtow as his wife asked.

Three months later, Duanmu first sent Yiyi to the police station and put her on the FBI blacklist. Then, he exposed the wife's multiple cases of intentional injury and successfully sent her to prison. Under the special care of someone arranged by Duanmu, the wife went crazy in less than half a year.

After his wife was sent to a mental hospital, Duanmu had only one request: a life worse than death. This incident made Duanmu's father successful, and he completely took charge of the huge business empire left by his wife's father.

The most important people in Duanmu's life may be his relatives, but it was his housekeeper who turned him from an illegitimate child into a demon king. The housekeeper is a legendary sword butterfly. Duanmu's mother saved his life and took him in to recuperate in a suburban manor when he was in the most difficult time. After that, he stayed in Duanmu's family. The housekeeper took in two abandoned colleagues one after another, and the three of them used the secrets they mastered to gain freedom.

The three old bachelors were bored, so they stretched their claws to the young Duanmu, taking him to see the vast world, telling him stories of the past, teaching him how to read people's expressions, and even helping him build a proper fraternity when he was in elementary school. Duanmu's horizons were broadened, and with money, he began to work hard. Eventually, he became a hero of the Justice League.

Duanmu could have killed Yiyi with just one finger, but he had his bottom line, and in the end he just took a small revenge. Duanmu didn't want to touch his wife, otherwise she would have been dead. The wife's sudden intrusion into the house with relatives and the media was directly related to the death of her mother and the depression of her sister. Letting her go made Duanmu seem to have no bottom line.

Yiyi's appearance reminded Duanmu of the past seven years. Besides Duanmu, Cui Jian was also shocked to see Yiyi. The reason was that Yiyi was actually a five-headed dog.

Cui Jian and Yi Yi both belong to the Qi Sha American Circle, so they have met several times and have cooperated for more than 4 years. It should have been 7 years, but Yi Yi was in prison for no apparent reason, so Cui Jian could only establish contact with the two-headed dog in the European circle. Qi Sha’s housekeeper was very dissatisfied with Yi Yi. In her public resume, she was just a computer enthusiast, not a hacker, let alone a top hacker. However, she participated in the North American Hacker Competition anonymously and helped the main wife’s company launch cyber attacks on competing companies. She was on the FBI blacklist but still did not stop and did not hide her edge, which eventually led to a two-year sentence.

Yiyi begged the butler to give her another chance, but the butler had made up his mind and asked Yiyi to follow the retirement procedure and clear all information related to Qi Sha. He would send someone to supervise and assist. Yiyi found Cui Jian in desperation. This behavior itself was a serious violation of Qi Sha's rules and might lead to Cui Jian's exposure and influence more people.

Cui Jian used the two-headed dog system to interview the housekeeper and objectively explained Yiyi's mental condition. Yiyi was deeply traumatized by her childhood and had nightmares every time she fell asleep, all of which were fragments of her past experiences. Qi Sha's work was temporary, and most of the time he was still an ordinary person. Once Yiyi lost her job, she would start to have wild thoughts and her sleep quality would become worse.

Why wasn't this mentioned in the mental report before? Because Yiyi tampered with the data. She is not heavy, but she is very brave.

Cui Jian finally added: It’s not that Qi Sha can’t live without Yi Yi, it’s that Yi Yi can’t live without Qi Sha. Qi Sha is the sustenance of Yi Yi’s soul.

The housekeeper finally agreed to give Yiyi one last chance and let her undergo a year-long psychological treatment. During this period, Yiyi found her hobby: writing short articles. Each short article had 30,000 to 50,000 words, ranging from doomsday to rebirth. She gradually put herself into the thinking logic of the protagonist of the short article. Before going to bed, she no longer needed to restrain herself from thinking about anything, but instead pondered the short article story in her mind.

In this way, her mental state recovered well, and she passed the assessment customized by the butler and became a five-headed dog again. However, due to Yiyi's childhood experience, she has mild anorexia, which is mainly manifested as having an appetite, but when eating very little, her stomach will also feel full and uncomfortable.

There are two reasons why Yiyi is here. The first reason is the sleeping plan. There will be no work arrangement for at least three months, and everyone can move freely. The second reason is that she has not received salary for a long time, and because of being on the blacklist, her employment is restricted. When she has the opportunity to make a living, she came to Hancheng from afar.

But Yiyi never expected to see Cui Jian here. The moment she saw Cui Jian, Yiyi opened her Mangekyō Sharingan to avoid losing control. When her eyes were out of focus, she would not look at Cui Jian, and others would not discover the relationship between her and Cui Jian. As for her facial expressions, there was no problem at all. Whether she was happy or sad, she had a dead look on her face.

Li Ran said, "If you have nothing to do, take your cell phone and go to the hotel. By the way, introduce Hancheng to Yiyi and see if she needs any help."

Cui Jianju injured his leg: "I still have to go to the hospital to change the dressing."

Duanmu: "I still have to accompany Cui Jian to the hospital to change the dressing."

Cui Jian looked down on Duanmu and took out his phone and pushed it to Diudiu: "Sister Diudiu is the only one left with nothing to do. The password is 123456."

Diudiu picked up his phone, unlocked it, and said in surprise: "Cui Jian, you are really open-minded."

Cui Jian smiled proudly and looked at Duanmu: "Do you dare?"

“Haha.” Duanmu took out his phone and cleared his search history, bookmarks, and cache… and pushed the phone to Diudiu: “234567.”

Diudiu fiddled with Duanmu's cell phone for a while, and an indescribable sound came from the phone. Diudiu turned off the sound and looked at Duanmu. Duanmu said leisurely: "I forgot that there are a few things hidden in the memo. What? Can't I just take a look?" He responded to everyone's gaze with a righteous look.

Diudiu put away his phone: "I just think the quality of this video is too low."

Li Ran stood up with a smile: "The meeting is adjourned. By the way, Mr. Ye, according to Mr. Ye's request, I have selected four bodyguards for you from the Ye family bodyguards." Even though there are no enemies and no conflicts of interest, Ye Lan needs to be equipped with bodyguards due to the special nature of the kidnapping gang Bei Yao. Ye Lan can temporarily hire Cui Jian and others, but from a long-term perspective, she must hire the Ye family bodyguards.

Ye Lan complained, "Instead of giving me four bodyguards, it would be better to give me a golden assistant." Her chief assistant was a capable person chosen by her grandfather. In the past two months, she wanted to find a special assistant or life assistant of the same level as the chief assistant, but she still couldn't find a good candidate.

Currently, Ye Lan has an administrative secretary and an assistant. The administrative secretary is only responsible for limited tasks, such as making appointments, delivering documents, delivering coffee, shopping, etc. The assistant has limited work ability and can only assist her in handling some matters of the security company, and he is not very good at it.

For example, when Cui Jian was injured, Ye Lan did not need to explain it, but the assistant had to ask someone or personally send flowers to Cui Jian every day, and inquire about his injury once a day. When Ye Lan asked about this, the assistant knew nothing about it, and instead said aggrievedly that Ye Lan did not ask him to do this.

In addition to work assistants, Ye Lan also needs a life assistant. She is responsible for family members' birthdays, gift selection, dress for banquets, screening guests to see if there are people she doesn't get along with. In addition, the life assistant is also responsible for clothes, hair, cosmetics, food, etc. She also needs to coordinate work hours with the assistant to arrange time for Ye Lan's beauty treatments.

However, Li Ran and his team could only help her choose bodyguards, and the task of finding an assistant had to be left to the Human Resources Department.

……

Cui Jian and the idle Duanmu went to the villa. Ye Yatou went to class. The purchase of the villa was going smoothly. A teppanyaki grill was set up outdoors, and all the kitchen utensils were in place. The bed, comma-shaped coffee table, and chairs for the bedroom were all purchased. At present, the wardrobe, safe, and bookshelf have not yet arrived. These things require the fit of the location and have strict requirements on size. Others such as wardrobes and bookshelves need to be customized.

Cui Jian asked the person in charge, who assured him that it would only take five days to complete everything. He suggested making a set of stone tables and stone drums next to the iron plate and grill, and Cui Jian approved. The person in charge thought that since the outdoor space was empty, he might consider planting flowers or bamboo, or other arrangements. He could also plant fruit trees, dig a small swimming pool, build a garage, and consider building another servant's house.

Cui Jian said nonsense: I need to discuss these things with my girlfriend before making a decision.

The two drove out of the villa, had lunch nearby, and then drove to the hotel where Yi Yi was staying to get their phone back.

Diudiu was still in the hotel. Yiyi was sitting on a chair beside them, with two tablets and a laptop in front of her. She kept pressing the down-folding button. When she saw Cui Jian and Duanmu coming in, she pushed Duanmu's phone and said, "Your phone is very clean."

Everyone looked at Cui Jian, who asked, "Is my phone dirty?"

"Yeah." Yiyi's computer was still connected to Cui Jian's phone, and she flipped through the pages one by one: "The opponent is an extremely skilled expert. He was able to use the APP to monitor you without any warning. I checked the underlying structure of the APP, and the designer is obviously also a master."

Diudiu said: "The engineer in charge of the APP is named Ye Rannuo, a special consultant of Dayin Group. It is said that he once won the second place in the global hacker competition."

Yiyi nodded: "She is very talented. This is the situation. Either a top hacker who is far beyond my ability is monitoring Cui Jian, or Ye Rannuo is monitoring Cui Jian." It was very tactful. She didn't directly say that Ye Rannuo was monitoring Cui Jian, but everyone could hear it.

Cui Jian said: "Ye Rannuo will temporarily share the rent with me."

Diudiu: "Since Ye Rannuo is a hacker, why does she want to share a house with the target of surveillance? Does she not have the ability to deal with Cui Jian?"
