Chapter 358 Christmas (I)

After they cleaned up, Cui Jian got into Lao Tu's car and drove all the way to Xifeng Mountain. Shengzi had already cooked lunch and when they saw them get off the car, she invited them to come over for dinner.

Lao Tu sat down and asked, "Did Jin Yue make any moves?"

Shengzi turned the laptop screen and played the recording of the call. After listening to the recording, Cui Jian was quite surprised: "This Jin Yue's ambition is beyond my expectation."

Lao Tu said, "Don't use normal people's logic to look at them. Shengzi, how are things over there?"

Shengzi replied: "Everything went according to plan. However, our repeated visits to the safe house in Hanxiao Community may have aroused the suspicion of the security guards."

Lao Tu asked: "Did the security guards suspect anything?"

Shengzi nodded: "The deputy security captain asked three questions, and each time he asked more pointed questions, the last time he came directly to the door and kept looking inside."

Lao Tu asked: "How many more trips do you have to make?"

Shengzi replied: "One more trip tomorrow."

Lao Tu said, "I'll take care of this matter."

Shengzi nodded and said, "One last thing: the golden eagle. Can it be killed? The two-headed dog is very concerned about this issue."

Shengzi introduced: "From four days ago to now, the Golden Eagle has been staying on Plum Blossom Island. In order to avoid alerting the enemy, we must not take action on the island."

Cui Jian asked: "Does he have any relatives or friends?"

Shengzi replied: "He is an American. Golden Eagle is his Korean name. He has no relatives here. He is actually Li Jie's man. If we can get Li Jie's help, it won't be a problem to get him off the island."

Cui Jian said: "Li Jie is missing. Besides, Li Jie is not easy to deal with, so the possibility of holding him hostage is not high. I have a suggestion."

"What proposal?"

Cui Jian said: "There is a deputy captain here who is meddling in other people's business, and there happens to be a Li Jie who can mobilize the Golden Eagle. Why not use the deputy captain to lure the Golden Eagle out."

Shengzi didn't understand at all and thought it was old-fashioned.

Lao Tu: Mi Tu, I don’t understand either.

Cui Jian explained: "If the deputy captain's body is mistaken for Li Jie's, Jin Ying, as Li Jie's former bodyguard chief, will most likely be asked by the police to identify the body."

This is a good idea. Shengzi tapped on the keyboard: "I'll contact the two-headed dog."

The two-headed dog replied half an hour later, expressing his support for Shengzi's suggestion, but in order to turn the suggestion into a plan, some minor adjustments were needed. These included Li Jie's belongings or ID, the headless body, and soaking in water. He suggested that they could not attack the Golden Eagle directly, so they created a traffic accident. They could kill the Golden Eagle, but they must prevent the Golden Eagle from going to work on Plum Blossom Island on Christmas Day.

In addition, when the police found a body suspected to be that of Li Jie, Jin Ying might not be the person they would contact.

Li Jie's situation is rather special, he is still single and his parents have passed away. Shengzi can take advantage of this and find a way to modify the police's internal files. When the police find a body suspected to be Li Jie's, they will contact Jinying according to the files.

Shengzi said she could give it a try, after all, it was an internal police file and she might not have the computer skills to do it. The two-headed dog asked her to contact Yiyi.

The two-headed dog finally said, "I will find a local driver for the plan, but you need to contact him on your own. Time is short. If we can't reach an agreement, or if there are other problems, this plan will be scrapped. Well, I'm very busy and can't focus on an irrelevant team. I'm hanging up now."

Shengzi pointed at the phone, unbelievable. How could this person talk like that?

Cui Jian was going to condemn him together, but Lao Tu said, "Didn't you notice? The more familiar you are with him, the more foul his mouth becomes. He fouls his mouth because he doesn't want to be involved with anyone. Shengzi, you often contact the two-headed dog, and it's easy to form a bond between colleagues. For example, if you encounter a problem in life, you will think of him first. This kind of contact is very unhealthy for our profession."

Lao Tu added: "You are also a hellhound. You are in the same class as him. You can learn from him, but don't think you are inferior to him. After Cui Jian made a suggestion, your first reaction was not to make a plan, but to contact the two-headed dog... It can't be said that it is your fault. After all, it is an extraordinary period. But, do you understand what I mean?"

Shengzi nodded like a chick pecking at rice: "Yeah, I understand." Tears rushed down her cheeks. Actually, I don't understand. Taking the Bloody Christmas operation as an example, she felt that she didn't have the ability to coordinate. She thought she was more suitable to be Cui Jian's partner, not a commander.

Cui Jian comforted him, "Don't be too nervous. We have a high tolerance rate for each operation. I have participated in several cooperative missions, and there have been many unplanned problems. Without exception, we have finally completed the remediation."

Lao Tu: "Just stop talking." Your tolerance is the result of the number of murders. Look at the tolerance of the two-headed dog plan. The two-headed dog controls every group, even what hotel each person stays in and what food they eat. He has strict requirements.

……

The driver chosen by the two-headed dog to cause the traffic accident is Park Yunkang, 42 years old this year, married last year and has a son. Park Yunkang was a trainee when he was a teenager, and later ended his entertainment career and went to prison for theft. Less than three years after being released from prison, he was imprisoned again for robbery. After being released from prison two years ago, he rented a stall under official arrangement and made a living by selling pork.

Park Yunkang was born with a bad luck and every time he committed a crime, it was because he was short of money, and every time he committed a crime, he was caught. Now he is short of money again. His wife is sick, and the public hospital can only treat the symptoms but not the root cause. Although the private hospital has the ability to cure the disease, it requires a large sum of money.

On the way back home from closing his stall, Park Yunkang was called by Choi Gun who said there was an opportunity to make a fortune and suggested that he listen to it. He got into Choi Gun's car without hesitation. Although he couldn't explain why he got in the car, he was determined to refuse to make quick money. However, Choi Gun's offer was something he couldn't refuse. $20 for crashing a car. He didn't need to kill the other party, but he had to stay in the hospital for three to five days.

Strictly speaking, if Park Yun-kang does well, he won't even be at risk of going to jail.

Cui Jian placed the file bag containing 20 US dollars in the center console of the car and spoke to Park Yunkang. Park Yunkang, who was sitting in the back seat, saw the stacks of US dollars in the file bag at a glance, but he did not take the money immediately: "Why do you trust me?" No one would give the full amount directly.

Cui Jian replied: "Because you have family." If you don't have family, you are not qualified to take this job. Cui Jian dared to come to see him directly because he had family. Even if the business negotiation failed, he didn't dare to say anything.

Park Yunkang was startled and asked, "What if the other party doesn't show up?"

Cui Jian replied: "Just think of it as a good deed for me." Park Yunkang understood what Cui Jian meant. Cui Jian knew his family situation very well. He thought for a few seconds and decisively took the file bag: "I'll leave here."

Choi Gun pulled over and Park Yun Kang got out and left without even looking at Choi Gun. Although Choi Gun wore a mask, Park Yun Kang knew the rules. It was not a good thing to know too much about some things. He would rather not even be able to describe Choi Gun's gender.

……

At 12:25 a.m. on December , an unidentified male corpse was found in Hancheng River, with his head, hands and feet cut off. At : a.m., the veteran detective found that the corpse was Li Jie, who had been missing for many days, by looking up the serial number on the high-end shirt he was wearing. This discovery shocked the entire police station.

Zhao Ai was only Li Jie's fiancée, and she did not receive the call immediately. The police contacted Li Jie's emergency contact Jin Ying based on the files. Jin Ying naturally could not have contacted Li Jie during this period, and when he heard that his boss's body had been found, he immediately believed it.

Li Jie gave a lot, and if Li Jie died, Jin Ying was not willing to be the security director of Meihua Island. Therefore, after receiving the call from the police, Jin Ying drove to the police station immediately to confirm the identity of the deceased.

The police station is far away, and you have to take the viaduct, so the minimum speed of vehicles is above 80. When the speed limit is 100, many vehicles are driving on the road at the 20% violation line. At this speed, if a traffic accident occurs, the driver and passengers are very likely to be injured.

Park Yun-kang's minivan for the stall rear-ended Golden Eagle's car.

The process was simple: Park Yunkang was in the fast lane, while Golden Eagle was in the middle lane. After Park Yunkang passed Golden Eagle, he turned right. At that time, Park Yunkang's car had not completely passed Golden Eagle, so Golden Eagle was forced to rear-end Park Yunkang's car. As a result, Golden Eagle rolled over twice and Park Yunkang's car fell over.

At 10:20 am, both were sent to the nearest hospital. After diagnosis, Jin Ying suffered multiple fractures and moderate concussion. Park Yunkang dislocated his left shoulder and had a mild concussion.

Duanmu took a 20-minute lunch break, and when he got up to drink afternoon tea, he learned about this incident through his mobile phone. Why did it happen today, if not earlier or later?
Duanmu was a little uneasy. After thinking for a long time, he contacted Letty, who would attend the Christmas party as the captain of the special forces: "You are sick today and need to be hospitalized."

Letty asked, "Does it have to be sick?"

Duanmu replied: "I suggest you get sick."

"Since you think I should be sick, then I will be sick." Letty hung up the phone and made another call: "Send a shot of the virus... It's nothing, just someone suggested that I get sick. I don't think he knows why either."

Duanmu hung up the phone and looked at the list of people attending the Plum Island dinner. 60% of the targets would attend the dinner, and seven of them were targets of the Dome Project.

Is there a problem? Duanmu didn't think there was any problem, but he knew more than anyone else the importance of the Golden Eagle in the security of Plum Blossom Island, so when he heard that the Golden Eagle was injured, Duanmu immediately had the idea of ​​conspiracy. Letty was a general of Duanmu, and he didn't want her to make any mistakes.

"Hello, got it. I'll go out right away." Duanmu hung up the phone with Yun Xueshan. He was annoyed. He didn't know why he was so annoyed. Everything was wrong today. Even when he was choosing a suit, he couldn't find a tie he liked.

This situation was not greatly alleviated until he met Yun Xueshan.

In the flowerbed outside the gate of Hancheng Forum, Yun Xueshan was talking to a middle-aged man, both of them had formal smiles on their faces.

Yun Xueshan's casual attire today caught Duanmu's eyes. He was just trying to cope with it, but now he was more serious and walked forward with a smile. Yun Xueshan introduced Duanmu, and after a few polite words, they walked towards the inner hall.

Yun Xueshan was a powerful figure in the consortium, and someone was waiting for her at the venue to lead her through security. Today's Hancheng Forum was a gathering of bigwigs, and everyone gathered in twos and threes to talk. The most common thing they did was to introduce their children or outstanding younger generations in the family to each other.

The show in the inner hall has not started yet. The staff is setting up the venue. The theme of today's dinner is a combination of Chinese and Western: Chinese food plus turkey. Since it is Chinese food, position learning is more important, and the most important one is the main table. As the boss of the Lin Group and the organizer of this Christmas dinner, Lin Hai naturally sits at the main table. Who will be given the remaining 5 seats?

Why only 6 seats? Because there will be various performances during the meal, so each table is only half full.

Some CEOs have grievances with each other and cannot be seated at the same table. Some CEOs have similar business areas and there is room for cooperation, so they should be placed together. If the seats are properly allocated, tonight's dinner party will be half successful.

Yun Xueshan and Duanmu went up to the second floor and found a seat by the window. As soon as they sat down, Yun Xueshan saw Yun Xinyue wearing a big red hat downstairs. Yun Xinyue held Ye Lan's hand affectionately and kept talking, like an old man who loves his younger generation.

Duanmu also saw it and asked, "Are your mother and Ye Lan very familiar with each other?" There was no such information in his intelligence database.

Yun Xueshan explained: "Uncle Ye helped us to get a cooperation agreement with a country in Africa."

Duanmu said: "I heard that there has been no follow-up to the North American United Company's matter."

Yun Xueshan couldn't help but sigh when he heard this: "You know so much." The first base of the North American United Company, which was about to be put into production, was shut down due to being framed. With the help of the Li family, Linhai Group and the Ye family, the orders undertaken by the first base were digested. Even so, it caused huge losses. Yun Xueshan and Linhai now want to withdraw, but they can't contact Li Jie, which makes them extremely headache.

Duanmu said: "Don't forget that I am also a wealthy man in North America."

Yun Xueshan smiled perfunctorily. She had no interest in Duanmu. When Yun Xinyue looked up and saw her, she waved her hand to greet her. Five minutes later, Yun Xinyue sat next to Yun Xueshan. The temperature difference between inside and outside reached 30 degrees. Yun Xinyue put her coat aside and asked for a glass of lemonade: "Hey, Duanmu, why didn't your brother attend the dinner today?"

Duanmu replied: "He said he was going back to America."

Yun Xinyue had already heard Ye Lan's reasons, and she just felt it was a pity. If Cui Jian could attend the dinner with Ye Lan today, it would basically confirm Cui Jian's status as the son-in-law of the Ye family. Is he stupid? She felt a little annoyed when she thought about it, but she thought she had no right to be annoyed, so she could only smile.

Duanmu then became a light bulb, while Yun Xinyue and Yun Xueshan talked about the shipping company. The Yun family had been doing Internet business, and with the update and iteration of technology, they were determined to shift the company's strategy to industry, especially the energy and rare metals business.

Now, with the help of Lei Dong, the Yun family has settled in Africa to open a mine, and has formed a military base with thousands of mercenaries in cooperation with the Blue House. This base has helped the Lei Dong family consolidate its rule, and also helped the Americans solve some problems. Most importantly, it has paved the way for the Yun family's future large-scale gold mining strategy in Africa.

At 5pm, Lin Hai personally invited several bigwigs to the inner hall, and the rest were invited by the staff. Compared with the buffet mode, the tea party mode of the dinner has less freedom.

As a part-time bodyguard, Duanmu still observed the security situation.

The bodyguards were divided into two categories. One was the bodyguards and security guards arranged by the Lin Group for tonight's dinner. Some of them patrolled outside in the cold wind, while others stood inside and observed everyone. The other was the personal bodyguards of the big bosses. These bodyguards and their entourage had a special reception and rest area with a simple buffet and free coffee.

In order to maintain order, the police station also dispatched two patrol cars to be stationed on the left and right sides of the main entrance.
