"Are you okay?" Cui Jian looked at Duanmu's right hand covered in blood.

Duanmu held the gun in his left hand: "It's okay, just a superficial wound."

Cui Jian said: "I didn't expect your left hand is your main hand." Facing the corpses all over the ground and his life hanging by a thread, he remained relaxed.

Duanmu replied: "That's not right, my main hand is my right hand, but my left hand is also very flexible."

Gui Yi came over and asked: "Who helped us?"

Duanmu replied, "Seven Killers." He pointed his fingers at his lips and blew a kiss into the distance.

Riyue asked: "Can I get rid of that man who looks like a goblin?"

Two-headed dog: “No.”

Cui Jian asked in surprise: "How did you get in touch with Qi Sha?"

Duanmu smiled proudly and said, "Don't mind your own business."

Twenty minutes later, they received a call from the two-headed dog, and the helicopter of the Red Ants Team II landed nearby. Cui Jian and others had already washed their bodies with the tap water in the church, and found a medical kit in the trunk of the bulletproof car to treat Duanmu's wounds.

The captain of the second team and Duanmu were talking on the side, and the two sides seemed to have reached some kind of agreement. Duanmu called Cui Jian and Gui Yi over, and the captain of the second team asked with concern: "Are you injured?"

"No." They both answered.

Duanmu said: "The red ants were attacked while protecting us. We retreated to the church to hide, and the red ants and the criminals started fighting."

The captain asked, “Is everything ok?”

They both answered, "No problem."

The captain nodded, and Duanmu said, "I want to borrow your helicopter."

The captain said, "I remember you rejected the proposal for helicopter transportation before."

Duanmu replied: "That's because I don't have enough understanding of the criminals' brutality." The correct answer is naturally to cover up the real butler.

The captain said: "We can only send you to the border." Civilians had no problem entering the Netherlands, but they couldn't.

Duanmu said: "Just find a hotel."

Captain: "Okay." He called a team member over via intercom. Gui Yi went to the church room and pushed the fake housekeeper out. He walked 300 meters to board the helicopter.

At five in the morning, the helicopter landed at a seven-star hotel in Dov. Someone had already booked a luxury business suite, and the lobby manager was waiting near the helipad and led the group to the room, where food was prepared.

After seeing off the lobby manager, Duanmu closed the door, took out his phone and looked at it for a while, then said, "It's over, the plan is complete. Cui Jian, take our actors to the first floor for a walk."

Cui Jian reached out and took the steak that Gui Yi had cut, patted the actor on the back, and wiped his hands clean.

The three of them went to the lobby on the first floor. Even at this time, there were still scattered guests sitting in the lobby. After looking at the hotel surveillance in the lobby, Duanmu transformed the actor. He took off the silicon mask in front of the surveillance and certain people to prove that the butler they thought was not the butler. As for where the butler went, that was not their bodyguards' business.

The actor shook hands with Duanmu and Cui Jian and said goodbye. Duanmu gave him a red envelope of $100,000.

The two walked towards the elevator, and Cui Jian asked in confusion: "Why did you drag me into this simple matter?"

Duanmu replied: "First, I'm afraid that I'll be killed before I transform, and second, I'm afraid that some people will get angry and kill me."

Cui Jian said: "I abide by the law and I don't have a gun."

Duanmu was shocked: "You're abiding by the law again so soon?"

Cui Jian smiled and thanked sincerely: "Thank you."

Duanmu said: "Are you satisfied with the service of Tianxia Card?"

Cui Jian replied: "Very satisfied."

Duanmu said: "I am willing to buy back the second Tianxia card. Please name your price."

Cui Jian: “Not for sale.”

Duanmu: "One hundred million US dollars."

Cui Jian: “No.” He answered without hesitation. As a financially independent person, he looked down upon such a small amount of money.

Cui Jian called Ye Wen and said, "Boss Ye, it's done."

Ye Wen: "Well, very good, when will you be back?"

Cui Jian: “It will take a few more days.”

Ye Wen: "Okay, I'll make arrangements and come to my house for dinner."

Cui Jian: “Yes.”

The two entered the elevator, and Duanmu asked, "Aren't you curious about where the VIP is going?"

Cui Jian: "It's none of my business."

Duanmu smiled and chatted as they returned to the hotel room. Duanmu said to Guiyi, "Guiyi, I'll give you half a month off. If you want to get married or do anything else, get it done. If you need to immigrate, you can contact me and I'll find someone to do it for you. Give me an accurate answer after the holiday."

Cui Jian took out his phone and sent a message to Ye Lan, saying, "Gui Yi, one million dollars has been deposited into your account. Thank you."

Gui Yi smiled and responded: "Why thank you? I just got paid for the work."

Duanmu: "Did you hear what I said?"

Gui Yi: “I understand.”

Duanmu said: "After returning from vacation, we will no longer be limited to Korean business. Let me make it clear that our business in the future will be closely linked to the Special Service Knights. In addition, my captain is virtuous and tolerant, and now I will give you a special opportunity to join the Knights. You may also consider it."

Gui Yi asked: "I join the Knights? What do I do?"

Duanmu said: "The Special Service Knights will set up a bodyguard company. As long as you are willing to join, you will be a partner of the company. And you don't need to consider the company's operation and losses. The minimum annual income is three million US dollars."

Cui Jian asked: "Where is the company address?"

Duanmu replied: "I haven't decided yet."

Cui Jian: "Tsk." Everyone can draw a pie in the sky. Duanmu: "As long as you agree to join, you will start calculating your annual salary of three million dollars on the same day."

Gui Yi punched Cui Jian's arm and said, "Cui Jian, this is a heart-pounding feeling, what should I do?" After conversion, the daily salary is nearly 10,000 US dollars, and it feels like even vacation time is unnecessary.

Cui Jian: "How about you agree now?"

Duanmu said: "Don't worry, just give me an answer after the holiday. This is a good opportunity for transformation. Cui Jian, you can become the chief bodyguard instructor of the Knights. Gui Yi, you can be the vice president, in charge of the training and actual work of the bodyguards. This can also be regarded as a class transition. Think about our Manager Li, he has risen step by step. Can you imagine that seven years ago he was an ordinary mercenary fighting in the trenches and was in danger of losing his job every day."

As long as they join the Knights Templar, they have the final say on whether to be bodyguards or clerks.

After winning the League Cup, Duanmu's interest in the bodyguard profession plummeted. The next thing he wanted to do was to see if he could use legal bodyguards to provide effective assistance to the special knights who were doing illegal business. Compared with mercenaries and guards, professional bodyguards have their own advantages, the biggest advantage being legality.

……

After taking a statement at the police station, Cui Jian did not return to Hancheng immediately, but went to a small fishing village in Northern Ireland.

The small fishing village is a tourist and leisure destination. There are not many tourists, and local tourists account for a very high proportion. There are also tourists from big cities like London, but there are almost no foreign tourists.

As a foreign tourist, Cui Jian appeared in a hotel called Pearl. The hotel has three floors and only 10 guest rooms. The guest rooms are not the main business, and going out to sea is the real gimmick to attract tourists. You can fish near the coast, you can go deep sea to fish for tuna, and the boss can also drive a boat to send people to a deserted island and pick them up at an agreed time.

In addition, there are surfboards, speedboats, life jackets and other services.

A well-known Northern Irish survival host was sent to a deserted island by the owner of the Pearl Hotel.

On one wall of the first floor is a map of the nearby sea area, with fishing platforms, deserted islands, diving spots, and recommended snorkeling and fishing spots marked on it. There are also stranded giant ships and shipwrecks on the seabed, where you can go on adventure activities.

Cui Jian sat on a bamboo chair, facing the sea and drinking Coke. It was winter now, and the sea breeze made the body piercingly cold, but the cold could not stop the fishermen. The boss had just sent three fishermen to the fishing platform 4 nautical miles away. They also brought tents, sleeping bags and other necessary supplies, and agreed with the boss to pick them up in three days.

The boss drove a small fishing boat. When the boat docked, the boss's wife came out and took the rope thrown by the boss and put it on the wooden stake. The boss pulled the rope closer, and the tire outside the fishing boat gently hit the dock. The boss stretched his feet up the steps, walked onto the dock, and kissed the boss's wife twice.

The lady boss whispered in the boss's ear: "A customer came in an hour ago. He was single, had no fishing gear, and didn't do a live broadcast. I'm worried that he might be upset."

The boss saw Cui Jian and said, "I'll talk to him later."

The two of them passed by and greeted Cui Jian politely, and then entered the hotel. The boss took a shower and changed his clothes, took a bottle of black label whiskey, grabbed two classic glasses, and sat next to Cui Jian. He put the glass on, poured an ounce of whiskey, pushed the glass in front of Cui Jian, and asked, "What's your name?"

Cui Jian replied: "My name is Cui Jian, and I am American."

The boss said: "My name is Suya, I am Greek, and I live here now."

Cui Jian picked up the glass, drank the wine in one gulp, and asked, "How does it feel to settle down?"

The boss thought for a long time before speaking: "I used to be like a comet, passing by every place, seeing all kinds of scenery, but I couldn't find myself. Now I am like a planet, although I can only revolve around the sun, but I have found myself. Compared to the lonely and cold journey, perhaps the warm sun is the best."

Cui Jian asked: "Will you, who are used to traveling, get used to revolving around the sun?"

The boss replied: "Sometimes I still feel uncomfortable. But as long as I can see the sun, my mentality will become peaceful."

Cui Jian asked: "Have you ever considered living in a big city?"

The boss looked at the proprietress in the hotel: "She likes it here."

Cui Jian asked: "Did she ask you where you like it?"

The boss replied: "I have asked, but I don't know where I like. I like wherever she is. But after being with the sun for a long time, I gradually have a feeling that the sun is not as beautiful as before. However, it is still very good for the time being."

Cui Jian poured wine for his boss: "I also found a girlfriend, and now our relationship is in the honeymoon period."

As soon as he finished speaking, the boss laughed. He wondered why Cui Jian appeared here.

The boss took the wine and drank it in one gulp. He made a satisfied aftertaste sound, put down the glass, and said, "Why do you have to think so far ahead? I remember that you only do what you like. Do you like kissing her? Are you willing to marry her? As long as it's OK, there's no problem. Don't think about whether you will still love each other in the future. That's a matter for the future. You can't guarantee that you will still love her in the future, and you can't guarantee that she will still love you in the future."

The boss looked at the boss's wife again and said, "My wife's sister loves her husband to death. My wife said that everyone thinks she will treat him very well."

Cui Jian asked: "What happened next?"

The boss laughed and said, "After having a child, her husband's value is only: the child's father. But not everyone is like this, so you never know what the future will be like, so why worry about the future?"

Cui Jian asked: "Maybe one day you will get divorced and leave here?"

The boss thought for a moment with his glass in hand and nodded: "Everything is possible. This is what it means to be an ordinary person. It is foolish to devote yourself completely to marriage and love like a martyr to prove that you can be an ordinary person. When you don't feel loved in your family, you should leave instead of staying here to make yourself feel wronged."

Seeing Cui Jian in deep thought, the boss poured him a glass of wine and said, "At least I took the first step."

Cui Jian smiled and picked up the wine glass: "I wish you happiness."

The boss and Cui Jian clinked their glasses and both drank the wine in one gulp.

The boss wanted to keep him for dinner, but Cui Jian refused, stood up and said goodbye to the boss and the boss's wife. Of course, this boss was Sunday.

The proprietress looked at Cui Jian's back curiously: "Do you know him?"

The boss replied: “I don’t know him.”

The lady boss asked, "Is he okay?"

The boss replied: "It's okay, he just doesn't know what life is."

……

Cui Jian's next stop was Thailand, where the bamboo house freshwater lake was beautiful, but it was 20 kilometers away from the nearest town, and there was no electricity supply, so he had to generate electricity on his own. Even the road was made of yellow sand and gravel, and trucks would be scrapped after running on the road a few times. Rainy days would make the road extremely muddy.

Cui Jian drove here late at night, after all, Liu Sheng was an exposed hellhound. According to the two-headed dog, Liu Sheng would write a list of needed supplies every week, and then people from outside would deliver them in. The two-headed dog didn't know what Liu Sheng's current situation was.

Cui Jian drove to the destination and saw a white freshwater lake beach that reflected the moonlight. A hundred meters above the beach, there was a row of four bamboo houses and a concrete house, which was the power generation room.

There are also simple light bulb street lamps hanging outside the bamboo house. Cui Jian climbed the stairs and stepped on the corridor, and found that the bamboo house was not made entirely of bamboo. The main structure was made of reinforced concrete, such as this corridor with a width of only 80 centimeters.

The temperature in Thailand is relatively high, and snakes, insects and ants are common. Places like bamboo houses are particularly popular with snakes and insects. Now it looks clean, obviously the owner used snake and insect repellent powder.

The first room was the bedroom, with a bamboo window propped up by a bamboo. Cui Jian looked inside and saw a night light on, with Liu Sheng lying on his side and sleeping. The second room was the kitchen and dining room. The third room was a utility room and warehouse, where things were neatly arranged. The fourth room was a study room with few books, but with a TV, a bulky desktop computer, and a laptop.

Cui Jian reached out and put down the door hook and walked in, activating the computer screen. Surprisingly, Liu Sheng did not use Zhang Ya's photo as the screen. Cui Jian sat down and clicked on the folder to search, but he did not find any materials related to Zhang Ya.

The most eye-catching thing is the text file on the screen, titled: Life of a Remnant Soul. When I opened it, I found it was a diary.
