Chapter 263: Raising Enemies
The next afternoon, all members of Bodyguard Department A, Li Ran, Lin Yu, and many colleagues from Department B attended Zhao Ai's housewarming party. In addition to Zhao Ai's joy of moving to a new house, Lin Yu will leave in ten days and go to work at Lin's Group, so it can be regarded as a farewell party.

Zhao Ai's new home is located in Fenghuang Community, which is about five kilometers away from the company. The core landmark is the artificial Phoenix Lake. The villa area is built in the birch and maple forest south of Phoenix Lake, and there are 21-story high-rise apartments to the north of Phoenix Lake. Overall, it is a villa with a good environment and an average location.

The villa covers an area of ​​300 square meters, with a construction area of ​​160 square meters and a market valuation of 10 billion won. In view of the fact that heavy taxes must be paid for real estate transactions within two years in South Korea, it can be seen that Zhao Ai has decided to stay in Hancheng to live and work in the future.

In Cui Jian's view, Zhao Ai was a rootless duckweed, she had no attachment to people, things, cities or countries. It was definitely not because of her bodyguard job that she decided to buy a house and settle down in Hancheng.

Around 4pm, while everyone was having a barbecue, swimming, playing mahjong, chatting and drinking tea, a convoy of five cars stopped at Zhao Ai's door. The visitor was Li Jie, who brought several boxes of fine red wine and champagne. Zhao Ai was very happy to see Li Jie, and not only went forward to greet him personally, but also took Li Jie to meet everyone who attended the housewarming party. Li Jie was very patient, smiling and greeting everyone.

The other four members of Bodyguard A were drinking English afternoon tea in the living room on the second floor. The table was filled with various cakes and biscuits. The topic they were discussing was naturally the Shi Hao project.

Cui Jian was leaning against the window, holding a cup of coffee and watching the lively scene below. When he heard Diudiu's question, he turned around and leaned against the wall, took a sip of coffee and replied, "I'm not participating."

Duanmu asked: "Do you have any unique views or insights?" No one was morally blackmailing Cui Jian, everyone just wanted to know what Cui Jian thought.

Cui Jiandao: "Manager Li gave very little information, and the imaginary enemy is very strong. In my opinion, this project is meaningless. It is like accepting a mission to escort a mysterious person, and encountering countless dangers and difficulties along the way. Even if you complete the mission, you don't know who the mysterious person is or why you want to escort him. As a bodyguard, you shouldn't pry into the privacy of your employer. But there is no money and no meaning. I can't find a reason to accept the project."

Diudiu said: "Cui Jian is right. However, I think Manager Li has his own difficulties. Manager Li and I have been friends for ten years, and I will take this project." There is another reason. Li Ran's old friend is also her old friend.

Duanmu said: "The project requires at least four people."

Diudiu: “Someone in Department B should be willing to take it.”

Zhu Zhenzhen said: "Wherever Sister Diu is, I'm there. Count me in."

Duanmu hesitated. He still hadn't found out who Shi Hao was, and he didn't understand why such an unknown person would be targeted by Ghost and Bei Yao. He was very interested in this matter, but he was the leader after all, and he had a lot of things to deal with recently. In addition, Cui Jian was not interested, so he couldn't get motivated.

Duanmu said: "I also want to rest for a while."

Diudiu nodded: "Okay then."

Duanmu suggested: "Manager Li wants to promote several bodyguards from B Division to A Division? Why not take this opportunity to conduct an assessment?" The commission of bodyguards from A Division is five times the market price, which is very attractive. When they heard that A Division was going to recruit from B Division, even though they knew that it was likely that the bodyguards from B Division in Xue Bing's project would be selected, the application forms still flew to the HR Department like snowflakes.

Diudiu said: “I have the same idea.”

Zhenzhen asked: "Where is Zhao Ai?"

Cui Jian looked at Zhao Ai and Li Jie holding hands and said, "Zhao Ai will soon retire from the underworld." Not only will she retire from Dayin Security Company, but she will also retire from Baiqi Group. However, Cui Jian was not sure about Zhao Ai's values ​​and personality, and was not sure whether she was willing to give up her dangerous career and become a well-fed canary.

This is just like the news that masters and doctors from prestigious universities go to work in the street office. You may say it’s not good, after all, the end of the universe is the establishment, and being able to eat public food represents class transition. You may say it’s good, the work of the street office can be done by anyone, why waste such talents? With Zhao Ai’s ability, being a little wife is really a waste of talent, but it is undeniable that a little wife is the strongest identity.

Cui Jian thought of himself and Ye Lan, and he didn't seem to mind becoming a little husband. Of course, he still had to work on his career and kill the people who needed to be killed.

Zhenzhen walked over to the window and looked down at the excitement, and asked, "Do you think Zhao Ai will resign?"

Duanmu said: "Even if Li Jie agrees that his wife can fight with others from time to time, he will not agree that his wife can become a personal bodyguard for a greasy uncle. Zhao Ai should either resign or break up. Diudiu, you have been in the industry for ten years, do you have any thoughts of settling down?"

Diudiu smiled heartily and asked, "What are you going to do after you get back to your original intention?"

Duanmu: "Travel."

Diudiu: "I have been to dozens of countries. I can take time off anytime to go wherever I want."

Duanmu thought for a while and said, "Love?"

Diudiu: "I'm definitely not a good wife or a good mother, and I can't be a rich lady. If someone breaks the rules and irritates me one day, I might kill his entire family. If you want me to take a little husband, why should I give up the vast forest for a little husband?"

Duanmu was speechless and asked, "Cui Jian, what about you? Do you have any thoughts of changing your mind?"

Cui Jian replied: "It's optional." It's not that I can't concentrate on being a family chef and being with the person I like. If one day I don't like him anymore, or the person I like doesn't like me anymore, I can just leave and wander around the world. As long as it doesn't interfere with my main job, I just do what I like and follow my feelings.

Duanmu looked at the only normal person: "Really?"

Zhenzhen lived up to expectations: "I will retire when I make enough money. But I don't want to be a rich wife. I can't stand a life revolving around men."

Cui Jian said: "I can."

Zhenzhen laughed: "When I make more money, I will support you."

Cui Jian refused: "No, you are not the person I like."

Diudiu whistled: "Who do you like?"

Cui Jian laughed: "I like mountains, I like flowing water, and I like the stars in the sky. Duanmu? How about you?"

Duanmu replied: "Life goes on, and struggles never cease. Only death can stop the flower of my life from blooming."

Cui Jian thought that this guy and himself had some similar tastes. They were both people with firm goals. They didn't care about other people's opinions and were not affected by the secular world. Except for death, they would not stop moving forward. The difference was that Duanmu had been struggling, struggling hard, struggling hard. Even in the bodyguard business, he wanted to be the king.

Cui Jian has no long-term plans and lives every day as if it were his last. That’s why he has an unrealistic view: just do what you like.

As they chatted, Zhao Ai led Li Jie up to the second floor. Everyone stood up and politely shook hands with Li Jie. Zhao Ai told everyone to feel free to speak to the hotel manager in charge of the party if they needed anything. She and Li Jie went downstairs and took a walk in the birch forest. Zhen Zhen asked, "Manager Li didn't come, huh?"

Diudiu said: "He went to Malaysia."

Zhenzhen looked at Diudiu in confusion, and Diudiu said, "Attract attention." The Shihao project was commissioned by an old friend of Li Ran. Ghost and his friends knew the relationship between the old friend and Li Ran, and they also knew that there were not many people who could help the old friend, and Li Ran was one of them. Li Ran escaped and went to Malaysia to set up a puzzle, hoping to draw Ghost and Beiyao's attention to Malaysia.

Duanmu said: "That is to say, Ghost and Bei Yao don't know where Shi Hao is."

Diudiu nodded: "Yes, but Shi Hao must do something that will reveal his location while under protection."

Duanmu asked: "What's the matter?"

Diudiu said, "Shi Hao is going to undergo an online judicial inquiry. Manager Li's old friend entrusted the person to Manager Li just to give Shi Hao a chance for a judicial inquiry."

Duanmu asked: "If everything goes well, Shi Hao will get official protection?"

Diudiu didn't answer, but reminded: "Duanmu, you ask too many questions."

At this point, Cui Jian and Duanmu both had their own opinions. They speculated that Shi Hao was indeed not an insider and might have some information and secrets, such as the Lolita Island that made a sensation around the world. Shi Hao was a good person, or was forced to be a good person, and decided to report it.

Li Ran's old friend might be the one who persuaded Shi Hao to come forward. The old friend is lobbying the authorities to provide asylum to Shi Hao and to investigate what Shi Hao said thoroughly.

The fact that Laoyou can find someone who has weight but cannot directly investigate this matter either means that there are many people involved or Laoyou and Shi Hao do not have definite evidence. Therefore, the judicial authorities need to have an interview with Shi Hao to determine whether to intervene in this matter.

Judging from the information Diudiu leaked, Diudiu hoped that Duanmu and Cui Jian could join the project, but she could not make any demands on them. As she thought, Cui Jian clearly refused. As for Duanmu, who had a heart of curiosity, he chose to refuse after wavering.

However, Diudiu believed that with the help of Zhenzhen and several bodyguards from Division B, she could still complete her work. After all, this was not the most dangerous mission she had ever encountered.

The hotel set up the grill downstairs, including traditional charcoal grilling, electric oven, and teppanyaki. Boxes of ingredients were also unpacked, including Tomahawk steaks, tuna, venison, etc., which are all relatively expensive ingredients.

At the invitation of Xiao Liu, the head of the logistics department, Cui Jian and others also went downstairs to join the event. Xiao Liu became the emcee of the housewarming party. He prepared a lot of team programs, from knowledge competitions to group activities, and prepared valuable prizes and gifts for this. Since it was not a real team building, all these gifts were paid for by Ye Lan personally.

Everyone played until nine o'clock in the evening before saying goodbye and leaving one after another.

Duanmu didn't drive today, so his driver Cui Jian first took him home. During the trip, Duanmu said something and asked a question: "I have been keeping an eye on Zhao Ai. Before Li Di's death, I never found any contact between her and Li Jie. Who do you think is the boss behind Li Di?"

Cui Jian asked back: "What's the point?"

Duanmu said: "Li Di's estate has been settled. From the current point of view, this big man still has no intention of showing up. If he doesn't show up, the only thing he can inherit is the cemetery. The cemetery is the weapons depot that Luke helped Li Di build according to the bet after he lost to Li Di. Why does a decent businessman need a cemetery?"

Cui Jian replied: "Have you forgotten that Cemetery and Sanqin have a cooperation agreement? The best way to eliminate competitors is to eliminate them physically."

Duanmu Qie snorted and continued, "You still remember the humanoid dog death bomb, right? Li Di is the sponsor of the humanoid dog, and he is responsible for the research and development expenses. In other words, the big boss behind Li Di is the sponsor of the humanoid dog research team. The big boss owns the death bomb and the cemetery. Will he want to establish himself as the king?"

Cui Jian said: "This is not Africa. You can become a warlord with just a few dozen people and a few hundred guns. I think the purpose of the existence of armed forces such as the cemetery is to build a paradise for the Seven Kill Targets."

Duanmu drank a lot of wine today. He was leaning back at first, but he sat up straight after hearing what Cui Jian said. Yes, the special forces, executives and the president are allies now, but they dare not do anything wrong in Nemo.

From the Plum Blossom Island tragedy in the early years, we can tell that Li Di is building a target park. Could it be that the boss hasn’t given up yet?
Of course, Target Park is very profitable, and many targets are willing to spend a lot of money to live in a safe and comfortable environment. Doesn't this conflict with my dome plan? Isn't it just stealing my business?
Why did Qi Xi, the boss's public representative, have a secret conversation with Xue Bing? Is Xue Bing really a completely trustworthy ally?
Duanmu thought of this and answered the phone: "Hello... in Hancheng? When? Next month?... I know."

Cui Jian glanced at Duanmu, but didn't ask any questions and drove seriously. Duanmu didn't pay any attention to Cui Jian, as he was completely immersed in his own thoughts.

……

On Monday, a rest day, Cui Jian, who was lazing in the swimming pool, received a call from Shengzi: "Captain Nemo Special Forces hopes to hold a three-party meeting to confirm the cooperative relationship."

For a moment, Cui Jian thought he had misheard: "Holding talks?" Although everyone had the intention to cooperate, it was somewhat inappropriate to do so openly. Raising bandits to form a community of interests between officials and bandits was somewhat shameless.

Shengzi said: "The representative of the execution team said that they have prepared a gift for us. The representative of the special service team said that they have caught the high-ranking Rangers who betrayed our trading account and handed it over to us for handling."

Cui Jian asked: "What do they want?"

Shengzi said: "The special forces want a secondary target immunity. The execution team wants us to hand over at least five 'Seven Killers' or 'Hellhounds' to them within three months."

Cui Jian asked: "Is it difficult?"

Shengzi said: "The conditions of the execution team are fine. There are many bad people in the database. We can make up their resumes. The execution team is responsible for the interrogation. The execution team will get the confessions we prepared and then send the video of these people being tortured to death to the Nemo Executive Council."

Shengzi said, "The request of the special forces should not have been granted. However, the captain of the special forces promised to provide a batch of weapons and equipment within three months to assist in the establishment of new safe houses in Hancheng, Paris and New York. The housekeeper considered it feasible considering that it was an auxiliary target. If you have any opinions, you can also raise them."

Cui Jian: "I have no objection. Let me ask, which auxiliary target does the special forces captain want to exempt?"

胜子回答：“50号标靶5号辅标靶，他是王子的三儿子，也是王子主要资产继承人。特勤队长暗示，5号辅标靶非常乐意协助我们处理7、8、9三位有继承权的辅标靶。”

Isn’t it too shameless for officials and gangsters to work together to improve performance?
