Chapter 118: Money and People
Cui Jian basically understood that someone had sneaked into Hancheng through the ferry. Considering Ellie Bingci's identity and the information he had seen the old woman in Seoul, Cui Jian knew that the mysterious person was probably another target. What? Did he think he was dead? The targets were all sent to Korea? However, because of the hunt, Cui Jian could only curse in his heart.

Cui Jian said: "People are not a problem. After all, I am just going to pick someone up. Who cares who he is?"

Li Ran smiled and said, "I think the reason why this person is so mysterious is that someone wants to kill him."

Cui Jian asked: "Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda."

Li Ran said: "Okay, then you can contact Ai Li directly."

Cui Jian changed his phone card, asked Li Ran for his number, and called Ai Li. Ai Li said, "Hi, Cui Jian, long time no see." Obviously, she had Cui Jian's phone number. Why didn't she contact Cui Jian directly? Reason 1: Cui Jian was fired from the company while in her team, and he was always embarrassed, so he needed Li Ran to be the middleman. Reason 2: This person was very risky, and Cui Jian might lose his life for this, so it would be better to say hello to Li Ran first. Reason 3: She explained the whole story through Li Ran, and she didn't want to be recorded.

Cui Jian: "Hi, Ellie."

Ai Li asked: "Did Li Ran say everything?"

Cui Jian: "Well, how much is it?"

Ellie: "One million won."

Cui Jian: "Aili, the price is a bit low."

Ellie: “Only an hour.”

Cui Jian apologized, "Manager Li warned me that there was danger. You have so many capable people under you, so it must be a difficult matter to find me."

Ellie explained: "The other party does have an enemy, but he was able to reach the dock safely. I believe his enemy did not find him, so he should be safe on the road."

Cui Jian: “Not enough money.” It’s better to be direct.

Ellie asked patiently, "How much do you want?"

Cui Jian: "Twenty million, give it to the descendants and the money will be cleared."

Ellie laughed angrily: "Twenty million?"

Cui Jian: "Yes." He answered with certainty. I'm not short of money. I'd rather go fishing before I die than waste my time on a few million.

Ellie said helplessly: "Okay, sorry to bother you."

"No, goodbye." Cui Jian hung up the phone. He didn't even give 20 million. It was obvious that the mysterious man was not of high status.

Ye Rannuo ate butter toast and said, "You are so arrogant now that you dare to offer such a high price for any job."

Cui Jian wrapped the egg liquid from the fried egg on toast and replied: "If you don't open for three years, you can eat for three years after you open." It was rare for Ye Rannuo to talk to him. Cui Jian looked up and said in surprise: "You seem to have become more beautiful."

Ye Rannuo subconsciously touched her face, a little shy: "Really?"

Cui Jian suddenly realized: "Oh, you haven't taken off your makeup yet."

The short-haired girl grabbed Ye Rannuo's left wrist with one hand to prevent Ye Rannuo from stabbing Cui Jian's head with a butter knife. The short-haired girl resolved the hatred: "Cui Jian, do you have any entertainment activities in your daily life?" They came back from playing all night, which was why Ye Rannuo would eat breakfast.

Cui Jian said: "Yes, we will go fishing soon."

Ye Rannuo: "Do you have a yacht to go out to sea?"

Cui Jian: "Fishing boat."

Ye Rannuo became interested: "Can I go with you?"

Cui Jian: “Ten million.”

Veins on Ye Rannuo's forehead throbbed as Cui Jian explained, "I'll take care of your diet, answer your questions, and provide fishing rods and bait."

Ye Rannuo was dissatisfied: "Then don't ask for 10 million."

Cui Jian replied: "I am not interested in anything that costs less than 10 million yuan." The annual maintenance cost of a fishing boat is 4 million yuan.

The short-haired girl couldn't bear it: "Isn't it a good thing to have someone accompany you? We can share the joy of playing, and we can also help cook seafood. You have been alone for too long, why not try to play with friends?"

Cui Jianshen nodded in agreement and picked up the phone: "Mingming, do you want to go fishing? ...Oh? You can stay on the fishing boat tonight...Okay, I'll send you the address."

Cui Jian hung up the phone and continued to eat breakfast. This time, Ye Rannuo grabbed the short-haired girl's thigh and reminded her: You can't beat him, you know.

Ai Li called again. Cui Jian answered the phone with a dissatisfied expression: "Hello."

Ellie: "Twenty million is twenty million."

Cui Jian: "I just made an appointment with a friend to go fishing, and now it will cost 50 million for me to cancel the appointment."

Ellie was furious: "Are you crazy?"

Cui Jian: "No. Ellie, don't get me wrong, I don't think my work is worth 50 million, it's just that I have arranged my schedule. From my point of view, it's not worth changing my schedule without 50 million." Cui Jian said it sincerely, and in fact, this is what he thought in his heart.

Cui Jian continued sincerely: "I really have an appointment with someone here, Yu Ming."

Ye Rannuo looked at the short-haired girl: Why do I feel that what he said makes sense, but it seems so inappropriate when I think about it.

Short-haired girl: He will float if he has money. She saw through Cui Jian's true nature, and she also knew that what Cui Jian said was the truth. The reason was that Cui Jian still had several million in his pocket, and without the temptation of high remuneration, he just wanted to do what he wanted to do.

Cui Jian thought that Ai Li would give up, but she said, "Okay, fifty million, I'll pay you back when you pass it on. Go to the Hancheng security front desk to get the letter."

"Okay." Cui Jian called Yu Ming and said, "I just received a 50 million yuan order. I'll contact you when I'm done. Marinate the meat first... See you later."

The short-haired girl glanced at Ye Rannuo, and said before Cui Jian hung up the phone, "We also want to go out to sea for some fun."

Cui Jian thought of the short-haired girl's beautiful legs and nodded: "Okay, I'll contact Ye Zi when I get things done." The main point is to do whatever you want. Understanding 1: If you make 50 million, you need to pay 60 million for the sea-going fee before I am willing to go to sea with you. Understanding 2: If you make 50 million, you don't care about the little things. No matter how you understand it, it makes sense. They are all trivial matters and there is no need to spend too many brain cells thinking about them.

Ye Rannuo's eyes were red with anger. You're not going to talk about money now? The short-haired girl quickly put a piece of ham into Ye Rannuo's mouth. Cui Jian picked up the finished plate and took it to the kitchen, not noticing the little movements of the two girls at the table.

……

When I arrived at the Hancheng security front desk, I explained that I was there to pick up a letter. The front desk called Ellie, and Ellie confirmed Cui Jian's identity through the surveillance camera. The front desk then handed the letter to Cui Jian.

上午10点20分，5号码头奋进号，预计10点20分到30分之间到达。

This is a method of smuggling people from the open sea, with local fishing boats sending people. Every fishing boat is required to be equipped with a positioning system. The maritime department has been monitoring the location of the fishing boats. Once a fishing boat goes to a suspicious location, it will be immediately monitored. The devil is always stronger than the saint. Some fishing boats will remove the positioning system and put it somewhere, such as a deserted island, other ships, or hide it in the sea. After picking up the people, the positioning system will be installed back. This process has nothing to do with Cui Jian, and Cui Jian’s work content is not illegal. He drove his own car to Pier 10 at 5 o'clock. He didn't care about the danger of this commission. According to his speculation, the mysterious man is the target and the enemy is the Seven Killers. As long as he doesn't do it, the mysterious man will be safe.

Cui Jian never thought that he would meet Duanmu. When he drove to the car, he saw Duanmu opening the car door and sending a mysterious woman into the back. Duanmu was stunned when he saw Cui Jian's car. Cui Jian felt a little guilty and worried that Duanmu would suspect him of assassinating the mysterious woman. So he parked his car behind Duanmu's car and got out of the car, wondering: "Why are you here?"

Duanmu: "I'm picking someone up. What about you?"

Cui Jian raised the letter in his hand and said, "Aili asked me to pick someone up."

"Oh, I'm leaving now."

Cui Jian: "My reward is 50 million." After he finished speaking, Cui Jian saw Duanmu's hand shaking as he held the car door, and he almost fell.

Cui Jian: "How much do you want?" He was responded by the sound of a door slamming shut.

Cui Jian shouted: "How much is your reward?"

Seeing the car disappear with a single step on the accelerator, Cui Jian smiled smugly. He stood by the road because he knew Duanmu's car was going to turn around. Duanmu also knew he had to turn around, but he didn't want to do it in front of Cui Jian. So he turned around after walking a kilometer. He wanted to pass by quietly, but he saw Cui Jian standing by the road with a megaphone in his hand: "Fifty million, fifty million, fifty million." His words and expression were completely like a face of a villain who had achieved success.

Duanmu picked up the bottle of mineral water that was not opened in the central control and threw it out. He stepped on the accelerator and disappeared. Cui Jian grabbed the bottle of mineral water with one hand: "Thank you." Cui Jian found it quite interesting to make Duanmu angry.

Cui Jian didn't see the face of the mysterious woman Duanmu Jie had met, but he could tell that she was a Muslim. Looking at the car going away, his eyes turned colder. Among the seven targets, only target 50 was a Muslim, and accordingly, all his direct descendants were Muslims.

The first possibility: really thinking you are dead.

The second possibility: Bait. Ellie and Nemo work together to release multiple baits, hoping to eliminate themselves.

The third possibility: There is a shelter here, but I am not dead yet. How dare the shelter receive guests so arrogantly?
Overall, Cui Jian believed that there was a shelter here. In order to promote the shelter, he let the unimportant target live in Hancheng. On the one hand, he wanted to test the safety of the shelter through actual combat, and on the other hand, it would be best if he could be killed or captured alive. Thinking more deeply, the other party hoped to spread the information and lure him into action.

So the customer Duanmu received was a Muslim woman, so the customer I received should also be a Muslim. He used such clear features to lure me into making a move.

Unfortunately, I have been banned from taking any action, otherwise I would have gotten a double kill today.

As I was thinking about this, the Endeavour fishing boat appeared from the horizon and headed towards the dock.

Looking at the woman getting off the boat, Cui Jian laughed in his heart. She was stealing in broad daylight, and she was wearing such an Islamic outfit. Did she think that everyone around her would be quiet? Although Pier 5 was a small pier, there were still some fishermen sorting out their boats.

Cui Jian immediately entered the role, becoming a vigilant bodyguard, helping the mysterious woman open the rear door, then looked around cautiously, and drove his own car away from the dock. The Islamic woman was wrapped up, and Cui Jian could not be sure whether she was a man or a woman. But Cui Jian knew that the target was most likely Saudi. The Islamic woman showed her eyes, eyebrows and forehead, which was more like a Sunni Saudi. Iranian Shiite women usually only show their eyes.

Who cares who he is, as long as he has money.

Cui Jian drove across the highway bridge, entered Meihua Island, and successfully arrived at the Giant Tree Club. He followed the instructions in the letter and went through the South Gate, parked at the South Gate access control area, and called the number on the letter: "Ride the wind and waves, Endeavour."

The access bar was raised and Cui Jian drove in. On the left was the parking lot and on the right was the hotel front desk. There was a wall in the middle with two security guards.

Cui Jian opened the car door and the mysterious woman got out. Cui Jian escorted the mysterious woman to the front desk. After receiving the instructions, the security personnel made way and followed behind the two. Cui Jian followed the instructions in the letter and found the man in the striped suit at the front desk and handed him the letter. The man in the suit nodded after reading it, called a service staff over, handed him a room key, and asked the service staff to take the person upstairs.

Cui Jian waited for a moment, and the man in the suit reminded him: "Sir, you can go now."

Cui Jian: “Where’s the money?” Where’s the money we agreed to pay off?
"Money?" The man in the suit was puzzled. Didn't the mysterious woman give the money to Cui Jian before getting off the car? How could he know that something went wrong? The mysterious woman only had 100 million in her pocket, and Cui Jian wanted 5000 million.

Duanmu, who came out of the bathroom on the side, saw two security guards approaching Cui Jian. He sat down on the sofa with a smile, ready to watch the show.

The man in the suit shook his head: "I don't know what you are talking about."

Cui Jian: "Let me make a phone call."

The man in the suit said impatiently: "Sir, this is a private club, please go out and make a phone call."

A security guard put his hand on Cui Jian's shoulder: "Sir, please."

Cui Jian had no choice but to put his phone away, turned around and broke Security Guard A's hand, then used Security Guard A's body to protect him and punched Security Guard B on the head. Security Guard B took a step back, shook his head, and then fell straight down.

Cui Jian pushed the security guard aside and slapped the desk with his hand: "Fuck, give me money."

Security guard A pulled out his pistol. The next second Cui Jian snatched the pistol, turned off the safety, shot the man in the suit in the shoulder, and then pointed the gun at the man in the suit's head: "5, 4..." I'm going to make a big scene today to see what kind of monsters are in this club.

Duanmu came over and said hurriedly: "Hurry up and give him the reward, he really knows how to kill people."

Cui Jian looked at Duanmu and asked, "Did you get paid?"

Duanmu: "I took it." He showed the envelope in his hand.

Cui Jian was furious and shot the security guard who was trying to get close to him, breaking his knee: "Fuck, do you think I'm dead?"

At this time, a man in a black suit ran over and said, "Stop."

Seeing that there were four security guards behind the man, Cui Jian climbed into the main desk and held the striped man hostage in front of him: "Whoever pulls out a gun will die." He pointed the gun at the four security guards.

"Stop, everyone stop." The man gestured to the security personnel behind him to stay.

The man introduced himself as the hotel manager, named Zhong Feng. After communicating, Zhong Feng understood the whole story. This big fool didn't get the money, and his own people wanted to drive him away. Hearing that others got the money, the big fool was furious and attacked on the spot. The attack was so vicious that Security A was probably half disabled, Security B might be brain dead, and although the striped man was covered in blood, he should not be in danger of death.

Zhong Feng called to communicate, and soon someone delivered a large envelope. Cui Jian took the envelope and threw it to Duanmu: "Count it."

Duanmu took out the banknotes and counted them: "That's right." The dead sword man, just to watch the fun, actually dragged himself into the water. But he also wanted to do something here. Now at least the person in charge has been brought out, and he can go back and investigate which Buddha Zhong Feng is.

Cui Jian took a tissue from the counter, wiped the gun as he backed away, walked to the car, separated the gun and magazine and got in the car, and Duanmu opened the back seat and got in.

Zhong Feng smiled and watched Cui Jian drive away. When the car disappeared, he turned fierce and slapped the striped man: "Are you looking for death?" It was a matter that could be solved by making a few phone calls, but he had to embarrass others. He was really looking for trouble. People like the striped man exist objectively in society. They like to use the little power in their hands to oppress others in order to gain a sense of superiority.

Zhong Feng ordered: "Send them to the hospital and say it was an accidental discharge of a gun. If he dies, put the blame on him." He was referring to Security Guard B who was still unconscious.

Someone came over and said, "Boss Zhong, why don't you teach him a lesson?"

Zhong Feng warned: "No one is allowed to cause trouble and no one is allowed to mention this matter again, otherwise everyone will be thrown into the sea to feed the fish. Did you hear me?" If he ruined his boss's business, his own life would be in danger.

The people around responded: “I heard it.”

Zhong Feng: "There will be VIPs coming in the next two days, please treat them well." He is an old fox and knows the stakes. The advantage of revenge against Cui Jian is that he can vent his anger, but the disadvantages are unimaginable. How could a man like him do something that is not good for himself just to swear?
