Chapter 232 Changing Projects

However, even if the current source of dead bullets is gamblers and the like, when the dead bullet technology is fully mature and the market demand increases, when the old dead bullets are facing retirement, there is no guarantee where the raw materials will come from. The most terrifying thing is customization, such as an old rich man may take a fancy to a little girl and offer a sky-high price to have her made into his own human-shaped dog.

The two discussed this issue, and Ye Rannuo's message came: "Car 02 has entered the safe house in Xicheng District." Car 01 entered the safe house in Dongcheng District.

Duanmu: "Have you arranged the clues?"

Ye Rannuo said: "Make arrangements 5 kilometers away from the safe house in Xicheng District. Someone is organizing a 'walk' on Zhongyong Road, so the vehicles slow down. Your stand-in lowers half of the car window to ask why they are walking. This scene will be captured by public surveillance. The pixels of this surveillance are not high, so facial recognition cannot be performed. After they find this clue, I will continue to release the second clue and firmly hold their noses."

Duanmu: "No. 00, how about working with me? I need a big shot like you here."

Ye Rannuo: "Not interested. Besides, are you really sincere in discussing this matter in the work channel?"

Duanmu: "I'm asking for your help, and the price I pay is my sincerity. After Sasa's death, do you still have fun working under Xue Bing and Bai Qi? Why work if you're not happy at work? Think about it, but don't think about the penalty for breach of contract and other issues."

Ye Rannuo asked back: "What's the fun in working under you?"

Cui Jian didn't hear what happened next, Duanmu went to his bedroom to talk. A few minutes later, Jiro came out of the shower, and Cui Jian asked him to cook some egg and pork noodles, and Jiro expressed satisfaction and gratitude. Jiro made a request to Duanmu, he wanted to meet Yingmu, the first subordinate of the eldest son of the former president of the Golden Dragon Society. After the death of his eldest son, this person went to South Korea and joined his friends in Seoul, abandoning all his younger brothers and territory.

Jiro knew this man who was very patient and loyal to his eldest son. He had sent people to contact him before, but Sakuragi was very suspicious and always said that he would never return to Japan and would not recall the past. Jiro decided to visit him in person, or let them meet with the help of Duanmu.

It sounds like a small problem, but it turns out to be a big problem once you think about it. The criminals have lost track of Jiro and are likely to use Sakuragi as bait. It is impossible to let Jiro go to meet Sakuragi directly. This difficult problem is thrown to Duanmu. How to meet? Where to meet? How to avoid the criminals? How to avoid exposing the safe house?
Seeing Duanmu scratching his head and communicating with the outside world for a long time, Cui Jian asked: "Why not make a video call?"

Duanmu thought for a while and said, "Video call is an alternative option. It's better to arrange for them to meet in person." After that, he knocked on the door and entered Jiro's bedroom. He came out soon and said, "He is afraid of death and finally decided to make a video call."

Cui Jian rolled his eyes.

Duanmu was stimulated and finally told the truth: "The other party may have a technical expert."

Cui Jian suddenly realized: "This is the real reason why you borrowed Ye Rannuo."

Duanmu's team is loose but not scattered. It has talents from all walks of life and also has various small teams. Each team does its own work. For example, if he swallows up the No. 43 asset, he needs an action person to transport No. 43 to Hancheng for slaughter, and he also needs a relevant business legal team to carry out legal acquisition.

The shortcoming of Duanmu's team is the lack of a technical expert. Hailan's computer skills are good, but they are just good, after all, many people are good at computers. Some people scored 150 points in the math test because they performed exceptionally well, while others scored only 150 points out of the full score.

Generally speaking, few people who can be called experts can stand loneliness, and most of them are on the blacklist and are under official control. As for countries that don't have blacklists and don't control hackers, they are usually underdeveloped in education and the probability of producing experts is relatively low.

After communicating with Duanmu, Ye Rannuo made a suggestion and a question, suggesting that Yingmu be given a mobile phone with a higher safety factor. The problem is that if Yingmu and Jiro talk for too long, the criminals may lock Ye Rannuo's location. During their conversation, a backup team needs to be stationed near Ye Rannuo, ready to provide support at any time.

Duanmu hadn't expected this, and he didn't have enough people to deploy troops, so he looked at Cui Jian who was taking a nap on the sofa. But if he sent Cui Jian to Ye Rannuo, he wouldn't be able to hold out for long under the attack. How long can Cui Jian hold out? Thinking of the situation in the hospital where dozens of people were searching and killing him, Duanmu thought it was not a question of how long Cui Jian could hold out, but how long the criminals could hold out.

Although they were short of manpower, they still had a reserve team, but the reserve team was stationed near the safe house, after all, Jiro was the boss. Duanmu asked, "Is it enough to assign Cui Jian to you?"

Ye Rannuo paused for a moment: "Okay."

Duanmu then woke Cui Jian up and explained the situation. Cui Jian objected, saying that he was a law-abiding bodyguard and could not use force for Ye Rannuo. So Duanmu could only let Ye Rannuo apply for the Dayin security project and ask Li Ran to approve it quickly so that Cui Jian could take over the project. However, the problem arose again. Cui Jian was now taking over Ye Rannuo's project, and he could not use force to help Jiro.

Cui Jian said seriously: "I am serious about talking about the law."

Duanmu ignored Cui Jian's seriousness, pondered for a while, and nodded: "Okay, you take Ye Rannuo's project."

This made Cui Jian a little suspicious. What do you mean? Just for Jiro's 10-minute call, you sold me to Ye Rannuo for a few days?

Cui Jian knew that the fake Jiro was a bait, but he didn't know that he was also a bait in Duanmu's chessboard. The fake Jiro could attract the firepower of the criminals, and Cui Jian could also attract the attention of the criminals. However, Duanmu had not played Cui Jian out until the critical moment.

The reason why Duanmu was so careful was because he knew that his opponent was the Black Widow.

Black Widow is a small boss of Blackbird. Although she joined later, she was promoted to partner because of her strong planning ability. It is said that her kidnapping plans have almost zero failures, and the only failure was because of a car crash in the north circle.

That was the kidnapping case of the child star project that Cui Jian participated in. Black Widow planned to use the zipline to arrange a retreat. Two assaulters blew up the back wall and quickly kidnapped the child star, then blew up the zipline and escaped. Unfortunately, they encountered the attack of the North Circle on the child star, and their plan failed. The Black Widow, who had lost many soldiers and generals, was knocked unconscious by Cui Jian. After waking up, she killed the North Circle gunman, which objectively helped Cui Jian and Duanmu.

The core members of the Sakura Group had helped Black Widow and her mother, so the two sides have always been in contact. After joining Blackbird, Black Widow planned and helped the Sakura Group to commit many crimes. Therefore, this time the Sakura Group approached Black Widow again, hoping that she could assist the commander of the operation, Taro Yamano, as the first staff. Now there is no longer any favor between them, but more of a business relationship.

While Commander Taro Yamano led the technical team to constantly analyze data and search for clues, Black Widow sent people to visit Cui Jian and Duanmu's residence as soon as possible to confirm that Duanmu and Cui Jian would take over the Zilang project.

Black Widow asked Daniu to forge Cui Jian's phone number and sent a message to Ye Lan: I am injured.

As expected, Ye Lan immediately called Cui Jian, but to Black Widow's disappointment, Cui Jian did not bring his phone. After Ye Lan explained to Li Ran, Li Ran assured her that if Cui Jian was injured, he would definitely answer the call as soon as possible. Duanmu and Cui Jian's orphan physique made Black Widow not know how to start for a while, until Daniu sent a message that Cui Jian took over Ye Rannuo's commission. Black Widow then learned that Duanmu had hired Ye Rannuo as a foreign aid. From this, there is also a speculation: Ye Rannuo may be doing something that is easy to be exposed.

What's going on? Counterattack? Definitely not. Now is not the time for Duanmu to counterattack. She turned her target to Ye Rannuo, and thus had to face a difficult problem. Cui Jian's kill record was in the open, and it was no longer feasible to explain it simply by chance. As the most "kind" of the four birds, the black bird had almost no blood on its hands. It was wise to avoid fighting with Cui Jian.

It was much easier to find Ye Rannuo than to find Jiro because Ye Rannuo liked to play games, and they were all online games. With the help of a technical expert, Ye Rannuo was attracted to buy through special offers in the game mall. Ye Rannuo's IP address was quickly locked, and Ye Rannuo's hiding place was found: the Raner Health Products Company on the 17th floor of Tianhai Office Building.

This is a shell company that registered a company name and rented an office space, but did not recruit employees and did not do business with other companies or individuals. This type of company is not uncommon. Many are prepared in advance for future needs and will change according to the needs of the company's boss. For example, they only register the company, or maintain false performance every month.

This Raner company was registered a year ago. Following the Internet, Black Widow sent out her capable younger brother to check the location. The front desk of the clothing wholesale company next door confirmed that they had seen Ye Rannuo entering and leaving Raner company in the past two days. The most interesting thing is that the front desk did not see other people, which means that Ye Rannuo may be the only one in Raner company.

The scout also brought good news and bad news. The good news was that he confirmed Ye Rannuo's hiding place, and the bad news was that Cui Jian had arrived at the Tianhai office building before he left.

……

Cui Jian entered the password, opened the door, entered Ran'er Company, and met Ye Rannuo again. Ran'er Company was like an apartment, with two bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen, a bathroom, and a balcony. The furniture was very simple, with only beds, tables, chairs and other necessities, not even an extra stool.

Ye Rannuo was wearing headphones and had a laptop on the table, playing a game. There were several monitors hanging on the wall, showing surveillance footage from several locations in the office building.

Cui Jian knew Ye Rannuo, who liked to wear home clothes and had a lot of hair on her head. Today, she was dressed very differently, wearing a black leather jacket, smoky makeup, and four dreadlocks hanging down, looking a bit like a motorcycle girl.

Cui Jian tilted his head and looked carefully for two seconds, confirming that it was Ye Rannuo. He was about to go up and say hello, but Ye Rannuo didn't even turn his head, just staring at the screen, playing games and saying, "The next room is yours, don't disturb me if you have nothing to do."

Cui Jian nodded, "Okay." He turned and left, putting the food he bought at the supermarket into the refrigerator. In the cabinet next to the refrigerator, he found a lot of snacks and instant noodles. Cui Jian followed his own pace, checked the kitchen utensils, cooked rice in the rice cooker, cut the pork belly into pieces, soaked it in rice wine with ginger, and put it in the rice cooker to steam.

There is a TV in the living room, which can switch between four surveillance images: the surveillance images in the two elevators, the surveillance images at the main entrance on the first floor, and the surveillance images at the back door. Cui Jian operated for a while and put the four images on the TV screen at the same time.

Ye Rannuo walked out of the bedroom and glanced at the TV: "Not bad."

Cui Jian wasn't sure if she was praising him, but if the boss said it was good, then it was good. Cui Jian: "Thank you."

Ye Rannuo walked to the kitchen and took two bags of snacks to the living room: "Someone will deliver the goods later, please sign for them and put them in the kitchen cabinet."

Cui Jian: "Okay." He wanted to remind Ye Rannuo to have as little contact with the outside world as possible during the project. However, seeing Ye Rannuo's cold attitude and being difficult to serve, he didn't want to offend him. He is a bodyguard, a professional bodyguard, a lazy bodyguard, but not a dedicated bodyguard.

As the night deepened, the employees of the clothing company next door left work and locked the door. Cui Jian left Raner Company and installed an alarm on the normally closed fire door. Whenever someone opened the fire door, the alarm would be triggered. Then, according to the training manual, he installed several motion sensors in the corridor.

Back at Ran'er Company, Cui Jian checked the thickness and condition of the door and wall, simulated a surprise attack and defense in his mind, and then had dinner. The stewed pork belly was full of the rich aroma of rice wine, and the soup from the evaporated alcohol was poured over the rice, which tasted very nice.

As long as there are conditions, Cui Jian will not wrong his taste buds. As for Ye Rannuo, forget it. When facing someone you can't afford to offend, reducing communication is the best way.

Duanmu called and said, "Let's meet at one o'clock tomorrow morning." Although it was tomorrow, there were actually only a few hours left.

Cui Jian: "Are you sure you want to keep Ye Rannuo moving instead of letting her stay in the safe house?"

Duanmu: "Do you have your own opinion?"

Cui Jian: "To be honest, no. But I can climb from my bedroom to the 18th floor."

Duanmu asked in surprise: "Can you carry Ye Rannuo and the equipment and escape?"

Cui Jian replied: "I can escape." The criminals broke into the hall, and Cui Jian in the bedroom threw a stun grenade, immediately locked the door and drilled through the window, and he could reach the 10th floor within 18 seconds. The 18th floor has ordinary aluminum alloy windows, which can be fixed with a small hammer. There are many footholds and the leverage points are firm, so the risk of climbing is very low.

To this end, Cui Jian has packed his backpack and spends most of his time sitting on a chair at the door of his bedroom, watching the TV surveillance in the living room from the door.

Before Duanmu could question him, Cui Jian said, "You can't expect me to stop a group of people by myself, without even backup." If there were only two or three criminals, it would be difficult to complete the violent door-breaking assault mission, but I still had some fun. If there were a group of criminals... it wasn't all over. In the Shifeng incident, Cui Jian used a small pistol to kill four criminals who broke into the room.

Cui Jian thought that there was no need to put himself in a deadly fight. He was not afraid of death, but neither Ye Rannuo nor Jiro was worth the risk. At work, you just need to do your job, not sell yourself. It was just a small amount of money given by the boss, and it would be a loss if someone looked at it more disgustingly.

Taking stock of Cui Jian's death fight, one possibility is that Ye Zheng is like this, he is dragged into it, and if he doesn't fight, he will die. Another possibility is that the other party is ready to take action, forcing him to take the initiative. Another possibility is that he feels better about his employer.

Cui Jian was fooled into a possible death match, so of course he had to give up. As for his relationship with Ye Rannuo, Cui Jian had paid more attention to her best friend before and had no impression of her.
