Chapter 155: Snow Clouds (Part )

After a round of greetings on the phone, Li Di explained his intentions to Ye Lan. He heard that Dayin Security had a 2-star bodyguard and wanted to borrow him to help Qin Hai get some attention. Ye Lan politely declined, saying that the bodyguards all had work. Although there were only three and a half bodyguards, the lawyer had to make many trips a month, so she didn't dare to accept any more risky commissions. Now Chu He's death was unclear, and it was basically certain that he was hired to kill someone, but it was unclear what the person behind the scenes wanted to do.

After hanging up the phone, Cui Jian put on disposable gloves, cut a piece of braised meat and handed it to him: "Try it."

Ye Lan held the phone in one hand and the other hand was a little dirty. She glanced at Cui Jian, and became playful. She stretched her head and bit it directly. Seeing Cui Jian's frightened expression, she was quite proud: "It's delicious." It feels so good to bully people.

Cui Jian didn't think there was anything wrong with it, and asked, "Will the taste of star anise be too strong?" He was more concerned about the taste.

Ye Lan shook her head: "You can't eat too much, or you'll get sick of it. But if you only eat a few slices, the taste is just right."

Cui Jian agreed: "That's right, the taste must be controlled by the intake. The dishes must be balanced. Braised meat with blanched water spinach should be a good match."

Ye Lan thought about it and thought it was a good idea. She said, "Give me another piece."

Cui Jian used chopsticks this time. Ye Lan looked at him coldly and took the meat with her hands. She actually looked down on herself. After eating, she asked, "Was the meat processed first?"

Cui Jian: “Blast it first.”

Ye Lan nodded repeatedly: "It's delicious. I can come over for a free meal in the future."

Cui Jian said: "This place is far from the company."

Ye Lan said: "But it's not far from the company's new location."

Cui Jian asked: "When will we move?"

Ye Lan said: "After three weeks, give me two more slices, and they must be fat."

……

Late at night, Ellie buried her head in her coat and waited quietly in the dark alley. A car drove to the side of the road and stopped. Ellie walked out of the alley, walked to the side of the road, opened the door and sat in the back seat. The car drove forward, and Ellie picked up the phone in front of her: "Hello." There was some trembling in her voice.

"Go ahead." The co-pilot Duanmu wore a silicon mask and held the receiver. He spoke in a normal voice, but what Ellie heard was an electronic sound.

Ellie: "I need help."

Duanmu: “Yeah.”

Ellie: "I have been secretly investigating Chu He and Qin Hai, and hacked into Chu He's secret room computer, and obtained some scandals about some of the dignitaries and politicians in Hancheng. Most of the scandals came from Chu He's female special forces. But I didn't get any evidence or clues that Chu He, Qin Hai, and Li Di were conspiring to commit a crime."

Duanmu: "What is your purpose?"

Ellie: "My father's last mission before his death was to investigate Li Di. He suspected that Li Di was related to illegal human experiments, that is, the Death Bullet. According to my current understanding, Li Di cooperated with Mr. X to develop the Death Bullet. Mr. X is very likely the most mysterious president in Nemo. The Death Bullet should be cultivated on an island, or a place isolated from the world and accessible by water. Qin Hai has a company under it, called Qinhai Water Transport."

Ellie: "The instruments, personnel, equipment, and weapons at the experimental site are all transported via Qinhai's water transport network. But no one knows about this water transport network because Qinhai has registered companies in many countries and provides services for its own and other companies' ships."

Duanmu: "Are you trying to whitewash your father Jiandie?"

Ellie was not surprised that Duanmu knew her father's identity, and replied: "This is an unofficial mission. Maybe they are not interested in the dead bullet itself, but they are very interested in the dead bullet technology."

Duanmu: "They?"

Ellie: "Many countries. In the gambling game between Enchantress and the mysterious boss, Mr. X deliberately used the dead bullet to inform those who were interested that the dead bullet technology was mature. It was at that time that I was forced to speed up the investigation."

Duanmu: "Can't you refuse?"

Ellie: "I can't, because I'm also a sword butterfly."

Duanmu was silent for a moment, then asked, "What is your purpose in seeing me?"

Ellie: "I know you guys in the Special Forces are the best at solving problems."

Duanmu: "What's your problem?"

Ellie: "The wind of time."

Duanmu: "Shifeng?"

Ellie: "A thief, originally I would keep him by my side for safety, but my boss asked me to speed up the investigation, so I had to take the risk and send Shi Feng out. He is indeed a master, but also a venomous snake. He learned of Chu He's death this morning and asked me to set him free, otherwise he would not mind making public what I did to Chu He. Please believe me, I have nothing to do with Chu He's death. But I also know that once Shi Feng publishes the evidence, no one will believe me. Even if someone believes it, they would rather kill the wrong person than let him go."

Duanmu: "You want me to kill him?"

Ellie: "He's not that stupid. I suspect he has a backup file. Either find the person he entrusted the backup file to or the backup file, or ask him to give up the threat and continue to help me."

Duanmu: "Does he have any friends?"

Ellie: "My closest friend should be Cui Jian, a bodyguard. But from what I know about Cui Jian, he doesn't consider Shi Feng a friend and won't accept such a dangerous commission from him. I only have 12 hours left. I contacted my boss, and he asked me to contact you. He said you would help me and allow me to explain my identity and the whole story to you."

Duanmu: "I understand. I can help you deal with this matter, but you must answer a question for me honestly."

Ellie: “Please go ahead.”

Duanmu: "I want to know the identity of the captain of the execution team."

Ellie was stunned: "I don't know."

Duanmu: "If you want to know, you can know. Edward trusts you and relies on you very much. The captain of the execution team was nominated to the president by Edward."

Nemo ordinary members do not know the identities of the special duty and executive captains. They can recommend candidates to the president and request to change the captain. The president will also communicate privately with each recommender and respond to the candidates they recommend.

The captain is responsible for making plans, giving orders, and making decisions. The executors are the three vice-captains, and the captain does not directly participate in the actions and plans. The captain has the right to appoint and dismiss the three vice-captains, and the vice-captains are selected from the recommendations of the Nemo members.

At present, the new captain of the executive team has been announced. The next step is to appoint three new deputy captains to complete the work handover with the three original deputy captains. Duanmu knew that the executive team had already appointed two deputy captains. The reason why there was one deputy captain left was because of the strong attitude of the special forces towards Baili Xiong and the president's satisfaction with the work of the special forces. Therefore, the executive captain must think twice before making a decision.

The captain certainly doesn't want the special agents to infiltrate his team blatantly, but if he refuses the special agents and then messes up the job, the consequences will be serious. In the small case, the special agents may take the opportunity to force him out again. In the big case, the president or executive vice president will ask the captain to resign.

What if the captain does not obey the president's management? The captain's recommender must bear all responsibilities. Why should the recommender take responsibility to recommend Nemo? There are many reasons, but there are two simple ones. The first reason is that the person recommended by the recommender is called Nemo's guard. He can be loyal to the recommender and create opportunities for ambitious people. The second reason is that after successfully recommending to become the captain and vice-captain, the recommender has the qualifications to compete for the executive vice president. The executive vice president is composed of five people. They are in charge of the huge annual membership fees, and know the tasks of the special service and execution teams. For example, the Giant Tree Club on Plum Island was approved and funded by the Standing Committee.

Nemo itself is not a monolithic entity. Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are interests, there will be struggles.

Ellie was silent for a long time before she spoke: "The new captain of the execution team is Bai Qi."

Duanmu was very surprised: "The Bai Qi from Xue Bing?"

Ellie: “Yeah.”

This guy is really awesome, but why did Xue Bing actively participate in Nemo's affairs? According to Duanmu's information, Xue Bing did not have much ill will towards Qi Sha. He knew that Xue Bing was Chopin, and Bai Qi, as her agent, cooperated with the execution team to dig a trap, first giving Blue Enchantress to Qi Sha, and then ambushing Qi Sha. Qi Sha was one step ahead and used the trick against him, which led to the Plum Blossom Island tragedy.

Duanmu suddenly felt that he had underestimated Xue Bing. This woman had her own ideas. That's right, how could someone who could recruit Bai Qi be an ordinary person? Sasa was the former deputy captain of the execution team, and there was a hacker like Ye Rannuo. Their apparent strength looked very good, and it was getting more and more interesting.

Duanmu said: "Tell Shi Feng to give you a week to complete the formalities. After all, he is a criminal. As a member of the National Penalty, you can't have omnipotent connections. He won't refuse."

Ellie asked: "A week?" Duanmu's subtext was that the situation would change significantly within a week.

Duanmu: “Yeah.”

……

Last night, Ye Lan worked overtime until the early morning to manage her European assets. She didn't have much appetite after getting up so she just drank a glass of milk and went out. On the way, she asked the driver to go to Cui Jian's house. When she got there, she found that it was better to come at the right time than to come early. She happened to see Cui Jian making breakfast.

"Make your own tea." Cui Jian was busy in the kitchen for a while, and soon brought out a portion of rice rolls, a bowl of sauce and a bowl of fried chili peppers and placed them in front of Ye Lan.

Ye Lan poured the sauce on the rice rolls and said, "I'm here to supervise you at work."

"I know." Cui Jian did not refute. He never rejected people eating for free. Just like some fishermen, they never eat fish, but they like fishing. He took out the steaming plate, put rice paste on it, added ingredients, put the steaming plate back, and soon the rice rolls were out of the oven. He took two servings to the table, and seeing that Ye Lan had finished eating, he took a portion from his own plate and gave it to Ye Lan: "Saying that it's delicious is the best compliment to the chef."

"Well, it's delicious, rice rolls, right?" Ye Lan asked.

Cui Jian nodded: "Does the Ye family have to pass by my house to get to the company?"

"Ah."

Cui Jian: "What do you want to eat tomorrow morning?"

Ye Lan: "It's all right. But I may not be free. I just wanted to come and take a look today."

Cui Jian poured Ye Lan some black tea: "Are you so busy every day?"

Ye Lan began to talk about overseas assets, overseas stock markets, time differences, investment meetings...

When Cui Jian went to the kitchen, she followed him with the plate in her hand. Then she felt something was wrong. Thinking of Cui Jian's perfunctory attitude every time, she couldn't help laughing. She took the initiative to reach for the plate and asked for another half portion of rice noodle rolls, indicating that she would shut up.

At this time, the iron gate opened, and a luxury car drove into the villa, followed by an ambulance. A pair of siblings got out of the luxury car. The man was in his early twenties and had a scholarly air. The woman was about twenty-four or twenty-five, and her dress and temperament were somewhat similar to Ye Lan. She should be someone in the business circle.

Two nurses helped Xueying get out of the car, and the siblings walked forward together. Xueying lowered her head and walked forward. The nurses and the brother accompanied Xueying upstairs, while the sister stayed in the living room, looked at Ye Lan and Cui Jian sitting at the dining table for a while, and asked, "Are you Cui Jian?"

Xueying stopped and listened to the noise below with her brother.

Cui Jian thought for a while and replied: "Under normal circumstances, you can't see me and I can't see you."

My sister asked back, “What do you mean?”

Cui Jian said: "This is the agreement between Miss Xueying and I. Unless it is related to life safety, the other party will be regarded as air."

The sister asked, "What did you do in this matter? Other than calling the police."

Cui Jian said: "I reminded Miss Xueying to stay away from Zheng Mei, and I gave her a serious warning before the incident, but Miss Xueying didn't care."

The elder sister's attitude was ambiguous. It was unknown what she was thinking. She looked at Cui Jian for a while, then sat down on the side, took out a cigarette, lit it, and blew out a puff of smoke: "You discovered the danger, and you also knew that Xueying did not avoid it. You reminded Xueying, but did not intervene directly."

Cui Jian: “That’s right.”

Ye Lan picked up a piece of rice noodle roll, looked at Cui Jian, then looked at her sister, her eyes lit up, and said, "You are Sister Shan."

Seeing her sister looking at her, Ye Lan said, "I am Ye Lan. We went to class together at Lijia Primary School when we were young, and you were the supervisor."

The elder sister was very surprised: "Ye Lan? Little Ye, why are you here?" She looked at Cui Jian, then at Ye Lan.

Ye Lan waved her hands and explained: "No, I'm Cui Jian's boss, and I'm talking to him about some work matters. Cui Jian, this is..."

The elder sister said, "My name is Xueshan, and the man just now is my brother Xuesong."

Cui Jian grunted and responded perfunctorily, "Nice name." He reached out to take Ye Lan's empty plate and returned to the kitchen to clean up.

Cui Jian cleaned up the kitchen and came out to see two young businesswomen discussing land and projects in the suburbs of Seoul. The two looked at each other and instantly made eye contact. They took out their computers and mobile phones and sat together for an in-depth business discussion. Cui Jian did not disturb them and drove away in his car to the pier. He had made an appointment with Yu Ming to go fishing today.

After a long time, the two bosses realized that Cui Jian had even lost his car. They smiled at each other, and Ye Lan went to make tea and said, "Sister Shan, isn't your name Yun Xueshan? Why do you introduce yourself as Xueshan?"

"It's a long story." Xue Shan took out her cell phone and made a call: "Mom, he's not here, you can come over."

Ye Lan waited for Xue Shan to finish the call and asked, "How is your sister?"

Xue Shan: "She can't use her left hand for 3-6 months. It's a good thing. It'll teach her a lesson so she won't become lawless."

Ye Lan: "Is Chu He too arrogant? He even dares to touch the Yun family."

Xue Shan: "Her last name is Xue, not Yun."

The three siblings were named Yun Xueshan, Xuesong and Xueying. Their mother was Yun Xinyue and their father was Xuezheng. Ye Lan felt that something was fishy, ​​but when Xueshan said nothing, she did not ask further.
