Chapter 179 Termination
The next morning, according to Cui Jian's needs, the bodyguards bought ingredients. Cui Jian cooked porridge and fried a few dishes, including scrambled eggs, stir-fried dried radish, fried bacon, etc.
In the living room on the first floor, several people were watching TV while eating porridge. At the press conference, Mr. Lin talked about the events of 20 years ago. As the head of the Lin family, he expressed his deep apologies to the God of Fire on behalf of the Lin family. Perhaps this was the best time. The influence of the scandal was minimized after the explosion. After all, they did not need sympathy from others.
At the press conference, Mr. Lin also said two things. The first thing is that the Lin family elders council is responsible for this tragedy, so he will abolish the elders council, maintain the Lin family's tradition of respecting academic qualifications, and abandon the gambling system. The second thing is that he is personally responsible for this tragedy. He will retire within six months, and some equity changes will occur during this period. I hope that the majority of shareholders and Lin Group employees can understand and support it.
What the reporter wants to ask most is: Are the Li and Ye families still standing with the Lin family, and are there any international giants willing to invest in the Lin family.
Mr. Lin did not comment on this, and did not explain or hint at it, saying that currently the Lin family is united and stability is the priority.
The reporter asked again: Who will be the future leader of the Lin Group? Will it be Mr. Lin's children or grandchildren? Or will Mr. Lin hand over the reins? Is half a year enough?
A reporter asked: It is said that Mr. Lin’s descendants and grandchildren are not capable of doing important things. Are these rumors true?
Mr. Lin was silent for a long time and then answered: It is not ruled out that the Lin family will follow the Toyota model.
In Japan, where sons generally inherit their father's business, Toyota is considered a rebellion. Six of the 12 generations of presidents are outsiders, and they value ability more than bloodline. Of course, the reason why Toyota has such a long history is that marriage with wealthy families is also a key factor.
There is a ridiculous saying in Toyota: I would rather have a daughter than a son, because with a daughter I can choose a son. Prince Toyota refused the marriage and married a female star, but was kicked out unceremoniously and a person with a different surname was arranged to lead Toyota.
Mr. Lin's meaning was rather vague, but Ye Lan interpreted it and said, "Mr. Lin has three granddaughters, aged between 21 and 26. He wants to use one of his granddaughters for marriage and hand over the Lin family to his son-in-law."
Cui Jian said: "Son-in-law?"
Ye Lan: "If you don't care about the surname, it's a completely different matter. If you hand over all the giants of the Lin family to the son-in-law, unless there is a huge decision-making mistake or a crime, the Lin family will not clamp down on the son-in-law and will let him play freely. And the son-in-law will hand over the family business to his son and grandson. Even if the son and grandson are surnamed Lin, there will be no problem."
Duanmu said: "Some men may not accept that their children do not have their own surnames."
Cui Jian: "Each person has his own opinion. Ye Lan, why don't you find a son-in-law?"
Unexpectedly, such a simple question made Ye Lan silent for a long time, holding the chopsticks in her hand. After a while, she answered: "I hope my husband is someone I like, even if he doesn't like me. For this purpose, I must be able to protect the Ye family from wind and rain and charge into battle. There is another reason that I just discovered recently. I found that I like working very much."
Several people chatted, occasionally caring about the fire girl who couldn't get a word in. After breakfast, Cui Jian went to wash the dishes. Duanmu and Ye Lan felt a little sorry. Cui Jian replied: You just need to feel sorry.
In the morning, just as everyone was drinking tea and praising the leisurely work, news came from the Internet that Vulcan announced the end of the attack on the Lin family.
Duanmu: "He didn't win."
Cui Jian had mixed feelings: "Yes."
Ye Lan, who was concentrating on work, looked up at the TV, took off his headphones and listened for a while: "Mr. Lin is the final winner. He has completely integrated the three Lin families. After all, the wealth of the Lin family in his province accounts for 85% of the wealth of the three provinces. From now on, there will no longer be any Gyeonggi Province Lin family, only the Lin family. He is also sure that Li Ye will fully support the Lin family. Unless someone really died, this is a good thing for him and the Lin family."
Cui Jian stood up: "Get off work."
Ye Lan asked: "These are what I thought, do you believe it?"
Cui Jian: “Yes.”
Cui Jian and Duanmu went upstairs to pack their luggage and explained the situation to Huo Nu. They would wait for someone from the Lin family to pick up Huo Nu before leaving get off work, and they could have lunch together at noon. Just as they finished packing, they heard Ye Lan shouting on the first floor: "Cui Jian, come down quickly."
"coming."
Duanmu was angry: "If you hadn't called me, I wouldn't have gone down." But after saying that, he still followed down.
The TV was showing breaking news, and the police surrounded Vulcan's residence. It was said that the technicians had cracked the IP address from which Vulcan posted the video.
This is a rental holiday villa located in the southern suburbs, with beautiful scenery such as beaches, forests, wheat fields, waterfalls, etc. During holidays, many city dwellers buy some food, drive their cars, and bring their families here to stay for one or two days. Each villa is an independent building, with only scenery around it and no other residents.
This villa is surrounded by a stream on one side and grass on three sides. It is now surrounded by the war police, and there are two helicopters hovering in the sky. However, there is also bad news for the police. Through the glass of the main door, you can see flashing red dots inside, which are suspected to be bombs. The cost of a strong attack is too high. The police called the villa's landline and are negotiating with Vulcan.
During the negotiation, the S.W.I.C. commander put down the headset that could receive negotiation information, picked up the walkie-talkie and gave orders, and all S.W.I.C. vehicles immediately moved back 50 meters. The S.W.I.C. outside also retreated 50 meters and formed a shield wall with explosion-proof shields. It is speculated that Vulcan informed the police of the power of the bomb he held.
Cui Jian sat on the armrest of the sofa: "The God of Fire has no other demands. What conditions can he offer?"
Ye Lan asked, "Will you ask for a car and 1 billion in cash?"
Cui Jian glanced at Ye Lan with full contempt. Although the film and television works are nonsense, they at least have hostages. Vulcan is alone, why should he ask for a car and money? Do you know how heavy 10 billion cash is? Don't you know? I don't know either.
Ye Lan angrily stretched out her hand to pinch Cui Jian's thigh, but the flesh was firm and could not be pinched with just two fingers. Cui Jian laughed at her. Ye Lan's brain suddenly jumped, and she changed from pinching to touching, rubbing it with her palm, which frightened Cui Jian so much that he jumped up from the armrest of the sofa.
Cui Jian looked at Ye Lan in astonishment: "You..." You female hooligan.
Ye Lan felt very accomplished. She stood up and held out her hand in a hypocritical manner: "Cui Jian, are you okay? Why did you suddenly jump up?"
Duanmu, who had been watching TV, took a look and said, "Two strokes." As a smart man, he was looking for clues of the bomb in the villa through the screen. Although he could find clues, they would be useless, but he didn't care.
Since the first time he was kissed on the lips, Cui Jian has been teased by Ye Lan many times, feeling shy, annoyed, and a little fond of her. He met Ye Lan's smiling eyes, bravely sat back, put his hands on his chest, turned his head away from Ye Lan, like a sulky child.
Ye Lan was a little curious, so she stretched out her hand and pinched her thigh. It hurt! This showed that Cui Jian's thigh fat layer was very thin, while her thigh fat layer... It seemed that she had to spend an hour or two every day to exercise. Ye Lan touched her lower abdomen. Although it was still flat, there was obviously fat. Looking at Cui Jian again, although there was no eight-pack abs, she could imagine the firmness of his flesh.
Duanmu didn't pay attention to the two of them. He looked at the TV and his phone, then confirmed: "The person in the villa is not the God of Fire."
Cui Jian asked: "Why do you say that?"
Duanmu: "This villa is just a suitable location for an explosion. The villa is in the southern suburbs, and the Lin family manor is in the eastern suburbs. As a bomb maniac, it can be seen from the fact that he massacred the Lin family that he would not deliberately set up a hiding place in a holiday villa for the sake of protecting the lives of innocent people. On the contrary, his hideout should be in a densely populated residential area, and he can capture the hostages without even moving."
Duanmu: "No matter from the character profile or the geographical environment, the God of Fire would not use a detached holiday villa as his hideout. Of course, there is another possibility. The God of Fire fulfilled his wish and deliberately leaked his IP address, ready to end everything. However, there is a loophole in this possibility. It was not the police who cracked the IP address, but Ye Rannuo who cracked the IP address." Ye Rannuo cracked the IP address, so it could not be considered an intentional leak.
Cui Jian asked: "How do you know?"
Duanmu raised his eyebrows: I’m Nemo.
Cui Jian raised his eyebrows twice: I know, but how do you know it was Ye Rannuo who did it?
Duanmu realized that he had not told Cui Jian that Ye Rannuo and Nemo were related. He bullied Ye Lan for not knowing sign language and started to gesture.
Cui Jian: Ye Rannuo is a technical staff of the executive team?
Duanmu: Yes. Ye Lan: Do you think the boss is a dead person? Isn't it just sign language?
Cui Jian asked: "Boss, do you speak Spanish?"
Ye Lan answered honestly: "No, I know a little German and French."
Cui Jian nodded with relief and asked in Spanish: "Why did the Nemo Execution Team get involved in this matter?"
Ye Lan widened her eyes. How could there be such a shameless person?
Duanmu threw a cigar to Cui Jian, watched the TV screen, played with the cigar for a while, and said, "It seems that they are sure that the God of Fire is Qi Sha."
Cui Jian nodded: "It seems so."
Duanmu shook his head and denied it: "Seven Kills shouldn't allow their members to kill indiscriminately. Targeting and self-defense are legal attacks. Revenge needs to be reported. Even if Seven Kills favors its own people, there is a bottom line. Even if they would condone the God of Fire to kill the Fire Father's family, they would not agree to the funeral explosion. I also thought that the God of Fire was Seven Kills at first, but after the funeral explosion, I was sure that the God of Fire had nothing to do with Seven Kills."
Theoretically, it is correct. The God of Fire should first withdraw from the Quasi-Seven Killers identity and then attack.
Cui Jiandao: "Manager Li said that the single-sided circuit board in the bomb is something that Qi Sha likes to use."
Duanmu: "I am sure that the God of Fire is not an official member of the Seven Killers."
Cui Jian: "As a special agent, why do you know more about Qi Sha than the execution team?"
Duanmu: "Because I'm smart. If I'm right, then there is a fact that there is a hacker expert helping Vulcan, and his level is no lower than Ye Rannuo. The hacker controlled the driverless car to attack the funeral and deliberately led Ye Rannuo to this villa. But Vulcan is not a formal member of the Seven Killers, and the funeral explosion should not be a formal mission, so Vulcan cannot get the support of the Hellhound. Is there another team behind Vulcan?"
Cui Jian doesn't like to use his brain, but he's not a fool. He knew it was Yiyi who was messing around again. This little girl relied on her hacker talent and talent, and didn't take Ye Rannuo seriously. If Ye Rannuo found the doubts Duanmu mentioned, Yiyi's strategic mind would be exposed sooner or later.
Yiyi's strategic mind is almost non-existent, as can be seen from her helping Duanmu's father's lover. She has poor planning skills and insufficient ability to judge the situation. In the operation of Qi Sha, her job is always responsible for technology, and she does not participate in the formulation of any strategy or tactics. However, Yiyi's computer skills are really very high, so high that even though she has violated the rules many times, the housekeeper has not made up his mind to fire her.
The housekeeper always positioned Yiyi as a technician and prohibited her from performing work outside of instructions. This time she obviously crossed the line again.
However, these are just ideas and are not within Cui Jian's job scope. He can just feed back the information to the housekeeper when appropriate.
Duanmu said: "If the villa explodes, it means I am right."
Cui Jian: "No, you are wrong. The cabin may also explode."
Duanmu nodded, thinking it made sense.
Ye Lan ignored them, answered the phone, and continued her work. After answering a call, she took off her headphones, looked up at Duan Cui who was drinking tea, and said, "Lin Long is on the list of the dead."
Cui Jian and Duanmu looked at Ye Lan together, puzzled. Who is this?
Ye Lan said: "Lin Yu's cousin, the one who is engaged to Li Qin, Lin Long."
Cui Jian continued to be puzzled: "Then what?"
Ye Lan: "Li Qin."
Cui Jian looked at Duanmu, who looked as if it was none of his business, so he could only continue to ask in confusion, "And then?"
Ye Lan: "Your ex-girlfriend."
Cui Jian remained puzzled: "You already mentioned your ex-girlfriend, is there any problem?"
What's the problem? Ye Lan was stumped. Yes, they are all ex-girlfriends. A qualified ex should be as good as dead. Ye Lan thought for a long time: "Have you ever considered comforting her?"
Cui Jian was still puzzled: "If she had feelings for me, why would she be engaged to Lin Long? If she had no feelings for me, would she need my comfort?"
"That's it, that's what..." Ye Lan looked at Duanmu with a threatening look: Speak.
Duanmu subconsciously replied: "The feelings are still there."
Cui Jian was still puzzled: "Even so, what does it have to do with you?"
Ye Lan: "I'm just reminding you kindly."
Cui Jian: "How can you be kind? Do you want me to return to you? Or do you want me to take advantage of the situation?"
Ye Lan was completely stunned by the question. The strongest BUFF of the steely straight man is not just straight men, but steel. When they get serious, few girls can be their opponents, because they have their own set of logic and are particularly rational, which can instantly kill the emotional theory based on emotion.
Ye Lan apologized with a dark face: "I spoke too much."
Cui Jian: "It's okay. You should also sort it out. In a few hours, Huofu's assistant will come to pick up Huonu." When Huonu is taken to Huofu's company, some custody documents need to be signed. Relatively speaking, since Huonu is still alive, Huofu's assets are relatively easy to manage. With the level of assistant Yana, Huonu can entrust her with full authority to handle the company's affairs.
Ye Lan: "I'm going to stay at your house for two days."
Cui Jian said: "The Duanmu family is bigger and has people to serve them."
Ye Lan finally found an opportunity and glared: "I am the boss, you are the boss? Why are you so stingy?"
Cui Jian really gave in: "You are the boss."
Humph, cool! Although they hadn't met much, Ye Lan had already basically figured out Cui Jian's personality.
Choosing Cui Jian was not purely Ye Lan's subjective choice, but also Ye Wen's suggestion. After rescuing Ye Zheng twice, although Ye Wen and Cui Jian had not met, he occasionally talked about Cui Jian in daily chats. In Ye Wen's opinion, Cui Jian was beneficial to the Ye family. As for how it was beneficial, that was a question of metaphysics.
In addition, Cui Jian's achievements are obvious to all. As a member of Nemo, Ye Wen knows that Chunque and Hei Niao no longer accept projects for 2-star bodyguards from Dayin Security. They previously asked for a double pay, but with Cui Jian's record of self-defense counterattacks and killings, they don't want to touch Cui Jian, the star of disaster. Everyone is out here to make money, there is no need to risk life with the living devil.
With the Ye family bodyguards outside and Cui Jian maintaining order inside, Ye Lan's safety is not a big issue.
