Chapter 334 Preparations
On the sixth day of rest, Cui Jian received a call from Xueying. Xueying's grades have come out, and she wants to apply to Hancheng Medical University, the same university where Lao Tu is studying, but Yun Xinyue wants her to study in Busan. Reason 1: Busan's universities are ranked higher than Hancheng Medical University. Reason 2: To study medicine, you must take the postgraduate entrance examination. Busan University has a bachelor's and master's degree program, while Hancheng Medical University requires further assessment. Reason 3: The Yun family lives in Busan, and the Yun family is in the top chaebol in Busan. Xueying will not be bullied.

Xueying’s reason: She doesn’t want to stay in Busan and wants to be farther away from home.

Cui Jian's answer was: "Your mother's reasons are all untenable. Even if you scored zero points, with the Yun family's financial resources, you can easily get a doctorate. Your reasons are very reliable. It is human nature to stay away from Yun Xinyue."

Xueying didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Don't talk about my mom."

Cui Jian said: "You were the first one to dislike your mother."

Xueying: "Hehehe, Cui Jian, I heard that you are with the eldest daughter of the Ye family?"

Cui Jian said: "You heard it from someone, right? How do you know?"

Xueying said, "I heard my mother and sister talking about this. Will you attend the Christmas party next month?"

Cui Jian asked: "What Christmas party?"

Xueying said, "It's a social event held by the big family at Christmas every year."

In the early years, most of the people who attended the Christmas party were unmarried children of the family who were of marriageable age. It was like a dating party. As parents became worried about their children, it gradually became a blind date party. Three years ago, the Ye family held a Christmas party and invited the top ten chaebol families in South Korea to participate. On the one hand, the people in power visited each other and sought consensus on the business development of the next year. On the other hand, it allowed the unmarried men and women in the family to get to know each other. On the other hand, the ladies visited each other and got to know each other.

Last year, the Li family hosted the event. According to the ranking list of the Xiabusi conglomerates released in October, the top ten chaebols were invited to participate, and the number of places was limited. Each conglomerate only had 40 places, and it was specifically stated that the places could only be given to family members. This was to avoid the situation last year where business and public relations managers and supervisors gathered in groups and turned a social event into a trade fair.

This year, the Lin family hosted the banquet. The Lin family suffered heavy losses in the first half of the year due to the attack by the Vulcan God, and the change of the helmsman damaged the reputation of the consortium. The Lin family contacted several major families two months ago, saying that the Lin family would be responsible for the Christmas banquet this year. The families in Seoul were not very happy about this, but I think that the three major families in Hancheng have gone through it, and the next step is the home court of Seoul.

The banquet was of a very high standard. If Cui Jian appeared as Ye Lan's boyfriend, it would represent the Ye family's recognition of Cui Jian's identity.

The Yun family was also invited to attend. Although Yun Xinyue did not object to Yun Xueshan being single, she also persuaded Yun Xueshan to attend a suitable dating party. Yun Xinyue also gave the remaining quota to the Yun family of the Kingdom of God.

The banquet started on the afternoon of the 24th, and the organizers prepared group games, auctions and other programs. Group games are the highlight of the 24th. The host will introduce unmarried men and women of marriageable age in a variety show way, hoping to allow guests to have a deeper understanding of their favorite objects.

Usually, the people in power will arrive in the afternoon of the 25th to attend the dinner. Some will stay overnight in the hotel and discuss with new business partners the next day. It is said that the Lin family and the Dai family in Seoul have four important projects on hand and are looking for suitable partners.

Cui Jian asked curiously: "Are you attending the party on the 24th, or the parties on the 24th and 25th?" Question: Are you attending the blind date on the 24th?
Xueying said dissatisfiedly: "Do I still need to attend the banquet on the 24th with my conditions?"

Cui Jian: “Don’t you need it?”

Xueying: “No need.”

Cui Jian: "My eardrum hurts."

Xueying smiled triumphantly, brought the topic back to the topic, and asked: "How can I convince her?"

Cui Jian was puzzled: "Why did you want to convince her? You are 19 years old and go to a decent university. Do you still need a guardian's signature?"

Xueying said: "I hope she can support me."

Cui Jian said: "Explain to her the truth that a short separation is better than a new marriage, and then bring up the common psychological theory of mutual dislike. Ask her to let you come to Hancheng to study so that you can maintain a loving family relationship."

Xueying said: "She understands the truth. She, she, she is just worried that we will fall in love."

Cui Jian: "I know, that's why I'm very dissatisfied with her, my vision is not good enough..."

Xueying interrupted: "I ordered two pairs of shoes for you."

Cui Jian: "My Christmas present?"

Xueying: "It could also be a Christmas gift from the river god."

Cui Jian smiled and said, "Just tell her directly that you are not interested in me and I am not interested in you either. The relationship between us is purely father-daughter."

Xueying: "I am your great aunt."

Cui Jian: "It's all right. In fact, as long as you show your surprise at my relationship with Ye Lan, she won't have any more wild thoughts."

Xueying: "Okay, I get it. Call me for lunch and I have to get up." She thought of this idea, but without Cui Jian's consent, she didn't want to talk nonsense.

Cui Jian was shocked: "You were not like this before the college entrance examination."

Xueying: "Mind your own business and eat more shit. Bye."

Cui Jian: "Bye."

After the call ended, Cui Jian received another call from Shengzi and drove to Xifengshan for a conference call.

This telephone conference call was of high standard, with all the Hellhounds participating. In addition, Sun and Wood also participated in the meeting. At the beginning of the meeting, the butler explained that after careful consideration and discussion, the Seven Killers decided to get rid of Jin Changqing. Although this person was not the target, the use of public power to openly provide protection for the target prompted the butler to make up his mind. All official members supported the butler's order.

The core content of the meeting was to convey the assassination plan. In view of Jin Changqing's situation, Cui Jian was excluded from the plan. Cui Jian was a little puzzled. Not only was he redundant in this meeting, but the other hellhounds were also redundant. The three-headed dog and others were silent throughout the meeting. The butler stopped talking after conveying the butler's order, leaving the meeting stage to the two-headed dog, Shengzi, and Riyue and Muyue.

After the meeting, the housekeeper contacted Cui Jian and asked him if he could spare ten days to train the three quasi-seven killers. The logistics work was handled by Lao Tu, and Cui Jian provided technical teaching.

Cui Jian was puzzled: "Lao Tu has retired. Normally speaking, he would not be asked to come out unless necessary." Last time he was shot and could not go to the hospital, so he contacted Lao Tu.

The butler replied: "At the beginning of next month, Plum Blossom Island will be put into use. According to our intelligence, the current reservation volume for the villas exceeds 40%, and Plum Blossom Island will hold a celebration for three days of Christmas. Therefore, we have decided to launch a second strike on Plum Blossom Island. The time of the operation is Christmas, and this operation is named Bloody Christmas. In view of the special defense mechanism of Plum Blossom Island, we will recruit all the forces that can be recruited. Of course, retired personnel can refuse to be recruited."

The housekeeper said, "There is a place called Beishan 25 kilometers away from Hancheng. It was an outdoor amusement park in the early years, with jungle crossing, real-life CS, karting and other projects. Due to poor management, it was closed three years ago. Lao Tu has contacted the boss and can sign a purchase contract today. That is your training ground."

The housekeeper said, "The training base is located in a remote area and covers a large area, covering half of the mountain. In addition, the temperature has begun to drop, so almost no one will go there, but it is not completely impossible."

Cui Jiandao: "Is the training scene an actual combat scene?"

The butler replied: "No, these three quasi-seven killers are your guards and partners in the bloody Christmas. Do you understand what I mean?"

Cui Jian understood: "I understand." Not only do we need to improve their combat capabilities, but more importantly, the team's overall cooperation. Cui Jian asked: "Is time so tight?"

The housekeeper replied, "Yes. According to the two-headed dog's deduction, Christmas Eve to New Year's Day will be the busiest time period in the Plum Blossom Island residential area in the next six months."

Cui Jian asked: "Where are the weapons?"

The butler replied: "The weapons for this operation were basically provided by the Raincoat Guest, who was also responsible for the transportation."

Cui Jian asked: "Is the man in the straw raincoat an insider?"

The housekeeper replied: "No, not all of them."

The butler, the two-headed dog and the man in the raincoat negotiated. The butler told the man in the raincoat that they would attack Plum Blossom Island in the second half of next year, so they needed to build a weapons depot in Hancheng. According to the plan, the man in the raincoat would use the wanderers to gather the weapons in the safe house of the Seven Killings Branch to Hancheng in the short term, and the man in the raincoat would then purchase and replenish the weapons of the branch.

As a condition, the Raincoat Man will ask Qi Sha to eliminate several targets before July next year. The Dome Plan is divided into three forms. The first one is to replace the real ones with fake ones. The second one is to help the real ones seize the property, such as the prince of target No. 50. The third one is to squeeze the profits of the real ones and hand them over to Qi Sha to kill them.

It was easy for Qi Sha to help the Raincoat Guest kill the target, but the hard part was keeping it secret. The Raincoat Guest Duanmu knew very well that Qi Sha already knew the purpose of his cooperation with him.

The butler then continued to talk about the work that Cui Jian was responsible for during Operation Red Christmas. As for things not related to Cui Jian, such as how to deal with the shelter, the butler did not say anything.

After listening to the tasks assigned by the housekeeper, Cui Jian asked, "So killing Jin Changqing is just a beginning, not an action?"

The housekeeper replied: "We still have illusions, hoping that Jin Changqing's death can stop the construction of the Meihua Island shelter. At the same time, by killing Jin Changqing, Qi Sha can become the target of public criticism from all countries." After all, Jin Changqing is a big shot in the political arena. He did not directly violate Qi Sha's rules. If Qi Sha killed Jin Changqing, it would inevitably make people of the same status feel threatened. In this case, they will inevitably suppress Qi Sha further. According to common sense, Qi Sha should avoid the limelight and avoid the wind, and will not take any action for a period of time.

The butler paused for a moment and continued, "It's almost time for me to retire. I hope that my joining can add some color to the Bloody Christmas."

Cui Jian asked, "What do you mean?"

The butler replied: "We have sacrificed too many people for Operation Giant Whale, and we no longer have the capital to launch another Operation Giant Whale. If someone must serve as bait, I hope I have the qualifications."

The bloody Christmas begins with Jin Changqing's life and the butler's head.

Cui Jian remained silent for a long time after hearing this.

The butler seemed to know what Cui Jian was thinking and said, "Without any victory, how can they celebrate so wildly? Nothing would make them happier than defeating me. By the way, it can also help Bai Qi improve his performance and consolidate our tripartite alliance."

Cui Jian said: "I understand."

Cui Jian hung up the phone, looked at Shengzi, and asked, "Are you nervous?"

Shengzi nodded.

Cui Jian asked: "Do you have any unfulfilled wishes? Do you want to take some time to visit your family?"

Shengzi shook her head and said, "I should have died many years ago. My family has no meaning to me anymore. I'm just a little nervous and worried that I'm not doing well enough."

Cui Jian reached out and touched Shengzi's head, saying, "You'll be fine."

Shengzi nodded repeatedly: "We will all be fine."

……

On November 11, Cui Jian drove a second-hand off-road jeep registered under someone else's name to the training base.

The training base is 10 kilometers away from the town. Its full name is Qingfeng Beishan. There is a cement road leading into the mountain. As soon as you enter the mountain, you can see a large area of ​​abandoned farmland, which is a self-picking area for strawberries and grapes. It can be seen that Qingfeng Town intends to develop this land to attract tourists. In addition to the self-picking strawberry farmland, there are also many other activities such as rafting and barbecue.

The car drove about four kilometers, turned left onto the dirt road, and drove one kilometer to the training base. Outside the training base, there were advertisements for real-life CS, jungle crossing, and mountain treasure hunt. The four sides were surrounded very firmly, and ordinary tourists could only enter through the main gate.

Cui Jian parked the car behind his old truck, got out of the trunk, changed into camouflage clothes, put on a ski hat, and put a voice changer inside the hat in his mouth to change his voice.

Cui Jian walked up to the gate, and the newly installed camera followed Cui Jian's movements for two seconds, and then the gate opened. This is an uphill road, about 20 meters long. After going uphill, you will reach the visitor hall. Visitors can rent safes, change clothes, and wear equipment here.

There are only three masked men standing upright in the visitor hall now, and Lao Tu is also standing aside in a masked outfit.

Cui Jian: "Let's go."

We walked a hundred meters together and entered the CS war zone. The land of more than 2,000 square meters was set up with trenches, huts, broken walls, ponds and other obstacles.

Arriving at the entrance, Lao Tu pulled out two green boxes from under the waiting bench and opened them. Inside were all pistols and pistol bullets, as well as dozens of silencers. The forest was silent, and before setting up the cameras, they would temporarily use silencers for training. Lao Tu pulled out another box, which contained anti-interference intercoms, stun grenades, simulated stun grenades and other props.

Lao Tu said to Cui Jian, "Everything else is under the bench. You've seen the environment. I still have to install a few cameras."

Cui Jian said: "Go and get busy."

Lao Tu left. Cui Jian looked at the three masked men standing in front of him and pointed at the 1-meter-tall boy: "Number ."

Refers to a boy who is 2 meters tall: "No. ."

Finally, pointing to the girl who was 3 meters tall: "Number ."

After Cui Jian took his number, he picked up the belt on the bench and said, "The belt can carry daggers, individual medical kits, water bottles, ammunition and other items. The three belts in front of you are custom-made. Your belts must carry a pistol, four magazines, two stun grenades, and a dagger. The requirement is that everything must be easy to take and put away. Let's get started."

The three would-be Seven Killers immediately took action. They all found their pistols, put them into their holsters, and passed their belts through their holsters. What happened next was different. No. 3 stuffed all the supplies into the belt first, then buckled it around his waist. No. 2 buckled the belt around his waist first, adjusted the size, and moved the belt so that the slot was in the most suitable position.

For example, Cui Jian’s bodyguard belt has multiple slots on the right back waist, including a small bag for anti-wolf spray, a slot for hanging a telescopic baton, and a special holster for placing stun grenades.

It doesn't matter how you put it, what matters is that you get what you want as soon as possible. Don't wait until Cui Jian orders: No. 1, stun grenade. As a result, No. 1's arms are too short and his waist is too thick, so his left hand can't reach the stun grenade, so he can only use his right hand that holds the gun to get it. What's worse is that he didn't pull out the stun grenade, but pulled out a fragmentation grenade.

Cui Jian had followed the instructor and knew that the instructor didn't care about such details. As expected, after the three quasi-seven assassins tied their belts, they couldn't achieve the desired effect. When No. 3 put the dagger away, not only did it not fit into the sheath, but he also almost stabbed himself.
