Chapter 185 Beach
Cui Jian did not return to the bedroom, but went downstairs to get in the car, and arrived at the company 20 minutes later, and went to the third floor to get a gun and restock bullets. This was the first time Cui Jian returned to the company after the establishment of Bodyguard Unit B.

Entering Bodyguard A, Yiyi was the only one in the command center, playing games and watching surveillance. Cui Jian asked, "Where is Manager Li?"

Yiyi put the headset on her left ear, glanced at Cui Jian, and replied, "Support Class B3."

Cui Jian walked behind Yiyi and saw four screens showing real-time images of the recorders worn by the bodyguards. Yiyi introduced: "The employer asked them to deliver the ransom to the kidnappers."

Cui Jian was puzzled: "Why do we need bodyguards to send them off?"

Yiyi said: "Now instead of sending cash, they use overseas transfers or Xiatecoin USB flash drives, which requires family members to negotiate with the kidnappers in person. They pay the money and pick up the person at the same time."

Cui Jian said: "Black Bird has a good reputation and will release the person after getting the money. Northern Harrier will not even notify the family." It is completely unnecessary for the bodyguard to deliver the ransom.

Yiyi said: "Don't just think about Blackbird and Northern Harrier. There are still many criminals and criminal gangs in the world."

Cui Jian nodded: "Oh."

At this time, bodyguard A's voice came: "I want to see Mr. Jiang."

Masked man: "Give me the USB drive."

Bodyguard A: "I need to make sure that Mr. Jiang is still intact."

Cui Jian humbly asked: "The USB drive is not connected to the Internet, how do I operate the Xiatecoin? If I copy the USB drive, will the Xiatecoin double? Can't I edit the files in the USB drive myself?"

Yiyi asked: "Do you know what a cold wallet is?"

Cui Jian shook his head: "I don't know." It was definitely not a frozen wallet. In order to avoid being insulted, Cui Jian decisively did not guess.

Yiyi said: "Then don't ask, it's OK as long as you know it."

As the negotiations collapsed, Li Ran gave the order: "Attack." The other party was unwilling to let bodyguard A confirm that Jiang Shao was still alive, indicating that something was wrong with Jiang Shao. There was a high probability that he was dead, and a small probability that he was seriously injured. At this time, launching an attack might still save Jiang Shao's life.

Cui Jian looked at the scene that made him vomit and asked, "When will our bodyguards play the role of special police?"

Yiyi replied: "When Group B2 lost Young Master Jiang."

Cui Jian was surprised and said, "How could the employer be kidnapped by the kidnappers even though he was protected by armed bodyguards?" Looking at the attack scene, the kidnappers didn't even have any hot weapons and were frightened when they saw the pistol.

Yiyi explained: "There was an idiot in the B2 team. He held up his gun but didn't fire. He kept saying, 'Don't move, I'm going to shoot if you move again. I'm really going to shoot.' He watched the kidnappers put Jiang Shao into the car. Afterwards, he said he was afraid of accidentally hurting Jiang Shao, and explained that the reason he left the police force was because he had a psychological barrier to real-life shooting."

Cui Jian didn't quite understand this behavior. A gun is like a swordsman's knife. It is easy to unsheathe. If it is unsheathe, blood will be drawn. Cui Jian asked: "Then why does he become a bodyguard?"

Yiyi replied: "He said he thought the chances of a bodyguard encountering a criminal were very low."

Cui Jian: "What about the other bodyguard in Group B2?"

Yiyi said: "I was so full at the buffet that I was in the restroom of the restaurant."

Cui Jian sighed: "Where there is a sleeping dragon, there must be a young phoenix."

Yiyi said, "In addition to Group B2, Groups B7 and B8 also had problems. No one in Group B7 could drive a manual transmission car, and Group A in Group B8 peeped at their female employer changing clothes. Old Li was almost mad, and he called the principal of the Bodyguard Academy and scolded him. He contacted the Bodyguard Union, and the Bodyguard Union asked the Bodyguard Academy to make corrections, otherwise it would no longer recognize the Bodyguard Academy's bodyguard qualification certificates."

Yiyi thought Li Ran was so angry that he lost his mind. She believed that there were bad people in every group and slackers in every profession. She checked the situation of other groups and thought that the overall quality was good. The bodyguard who was full of food was because his employer, Mr. Jiang, took too much and he was forced to help his employer eat because he believed that it should not be wasted.

B8B bodyguard immediately stopped A from peeping at his female employer and reported to Li Ran. As for not being able to drive a manual transmission car, it was because it was not required during training. After all, % of vehicles now are automatic transmission cars.

Li Ran was not a person who didn't know what was going on. It was just that the stupid behavior of Group B2 caused the first broken sword of Dayin Security, which damaged the reputation of Dayin Security, which made him very unhappy. Therefore, he personally led the team to pay the ransom, hoping to clean up his mess.

The so-called Broken Sword is a term used in the bodyguard industry, referring to the kidnapping or death of the employer.

While the two were talking, Cui Jian took Yiyi's phone and typed: There are big melons or big fish hidden in the Shifeng project, which may be related to President Nemo.

Yiyi typed on the keyboard: I understand.

Cui Jian: Keep an eye on the leisure numbers.

Yiyi: I understand.

Cui Jian and Yi Yi discussed Class B for a while, and then left the office to take the elevator. However, a fight broke out in the elevator hall, with two men fighting each other, attracting more than a dozen onlookers. Cui Jian listened closely and found out that the fired B8A entered the company under the pretext of handing over the work, and was looking for trouble with B8B who was ordered to stay in the office.

B8A's tarnishing of the bodyguard profession caused Cui Jian's inner dissatisfaction. He didn't know why he had such emotions. Perhaps he was brainwashed by Li Ran's words of professional ethics. After figuring out the situation, Cui Jian walked to the elevator, stretched out his foot and pulled A's legs up. A's hands were struggling with B, and his body was already in a tilted state. After being pulled like this, he fell to the ground. B took the opportunity to knee A's back and twisted A's hands. The onlookers went up to help control A.

Cui Jian saw that both AB lacked actual combat experience and rarely fought with real people, which led to their falling into a state of tearing. Also, these bodyguards either just graduated from the bodyguard academy or were unsuccessful in the security of Hancheng, so the requirements for them should not be too high.

Cui Jian came out of the elevator and met the head of logistics. He nodded and greeted him, then went out and got into the car parked in front of the company. He drove to the supermarket and bought some food and a bottle of Corona. Ye Lan drinks red wine, brandy, and beer, but only bottled Corona.

After returning to the villa, Ye Lan prepared the ingredients and put the simple barbecue plate in the trunk of the car. At this time, Ye Lan had finished dressing up, put on a set of casual and comfortable clothes, and got into Cui Jian's car. She hesitated for more than three seconds when choosing between the co-pilot and the back seat, and finally Cui Jian helped her open the back door.

The Ye family bodyguards had received the message. One car led the way to limit the speed of Cui Jian's car, and another car followed Cui Jian's car. Cui Jian and Ye Lan rarely talked on the way. Ye Lan, who had not gone out for a few days, couldn't help but be absent-minded when looking at the city scenery.

Since she started working, she has been sitting in the back seat of the car all year round. Even on the road, she never wastes time. She either works or reads the German and French newspapers prepared by the housekeeper every day. She rarely looks up to see the scenery along the way. Cui Jian thought Ye Lan had not been out for a few days, but in fact, Ye Lan had not taken a good look at the city for a year.

Once a dazzling young lady, Ye Lan can be regarded as a beacon in the fashion world. She has limited edition bags from various luxury brands, exclusive haute couture clothing, jewelry and accessories from various masters, and VIP access to various star concerts. For a piece of clothing, she can ask designers to travel from Milan to Hancheng to communicate with her. She can take a private jet to Hong Kong to drink authentic afternoon tea.

Her bags filled up a room, her shoes were maintained by staff every day, and in high school, she booked a five-star hotel to hold a birthday party for her bestie. Whether in school or in society, whenever she appeared, she was the most beautiful girl, and countless licking dogs and followers rushed to flatter her.

Thinking deeply, Ye Lan asked a question for no reason: "Are people born greedy? Living the life you want, but still missing another life." Cui Jian said: "With your ability, you don't need to ask this question. You can choose any life at any time."

Ye Lan: "Yeah. What about you, Cui Jian? Have you ever regretted the life path you chose?"

Cui Jian: "Boss, I don't have any career path. I'm just a bodyguard trying to make money. I don't have any goals."

Ye Lan shook her head: "No, I think you are a very determined person. You are not smooth not because you can't be smooth, but because you don't want to be smooth. How can I say that you don't flatter or please anyone?"

Ye Lan thought for a long time and said, "Whether it's bodyguards, money, or villas, you don't seem to care. These are like the seasonings of your life. Of course, it's best to have them, but it's okay if you don't. You give me the feeling that you are as calm as a chrysanthemum, but from what I know about you, you are definitely not the type of person who is as calm as a chrysanthemum. Put it all together, money, villas, etc. are not important to you. What is important to you?"

Cui Jian: "Boss, why do you have doubts about me?"

Ye Lan: "I've always wanted to give you a special gift to thank you for saving me and my brother, but I can't think of what you really want. Giving you a yacht? Of course, but it's still a condiment. In comparison, if I gave the logistics minister a G-Class or a villa, he would be so happy that he would take off on the spot."

Ye Lan: "Then I thought of Li Ran and Duanmu, and found that you two seemed to be of the same kind. Your needs are different from the average person's view of needs. You have a unique view and understanding of the world, and are not easily influenced by the outside world."

Cui Jian smiled and said, "Boss, you are being sentimental."

Ye Lan said nothing more, and the car arrived at the beach around the city. Cui Jian took the gas grill from the trunk, took out the food storage box, sat on the beach and started grilling meat and vegetables.

The spring sea breeze was still a little cold, and the two sat together, using their backs to protect themselves from the sea breeze. Cui Jian held the tongs, and Ye Lan held the long chopsticks, talking and laughing. It was a rare half-day of leisure, and Ye Lan was in a good mood, forgetting for a moment what she was thinking and feeling in the car.

More than an hour later, after cleaning up the dishes and garbage and basically restoring the scene, Cui Jian and Ye Lan got in the car and left.

Ten minutes after they left, a woman wearing a mask walked out of the toilet a hundred meters away, walking very slowly. The lights were on, and the beach was about ten meters away from the road, and the street lights also illuminated the beach. The girl always tried to immerse herself in the darkness as much as possible. She walked to Cui Jian and Ye Lan's picnic site and sat down. She fumbled in the dry sand for a while and took out an anchor ornament from it. The ornament had three words engraved on one side: "Leisure".

Usually fishing boats don't have keys, and the Leisure is no exception. There is a note tied to the anchor ornament, which contains the procedure and password for starting the fishing boat. It also states the dock where the fishing boat is located and where the boat's own positioning system is located on the fishing boat.

Cui Jian provided Ai Li and Shi Feng with a smuggling boat. As for how big the risk was? Did they want to take the risk? That was not something Cui Jian cared about. Anyway, the fishing boat was insured, and if it was lost, the insurance company would naturally compensate. If it didn't, it didn't matter. It was just a small contribution for Shi Feng.

It's not that Cui Jian doesn't want to help, he has already found that this matter has a very deep impact and may blow up a big fish in the sea. Bodyguard Cui Jian definitely can't help Shi Feng. This is what the example in the previous article said. If he can only save three people, Cui Jian will not risk saving the fourth person.

……

The next morning, after breakfast, Ye Lan got into her car and went to attend the press conference of Li, Ye and Lin under the protection of bodyguards. After watching the motorcade leave, Cui Jian did not return to the villa immediately, but walked across the street, touched the gun with one hand and knocked on the car window with the other.

This car was here last night, and it was not turned off. Cui Jian did not think it was a big killer, no killer works like this. After all, if you park on this street for a night, you will get a lot of tickets, and there will be patrol officers knocking on the car window every two hours.

There was someone inside, but the window was not rolled down. Cui Jian left, walked around to the front of the car, and suddenly pulled out a gun and pointed it at the driver. The driver was a thin man in his thirties, and he immediately raised his hands. Cui Jian swung the gun, and the driver obediently opened the door and walked out of the car: "Brother, it's a misunderstanding."

Cui Jian pulled the man aside and peered into the car for a while, giving the man a chance to attack and escape, but the man did not do so. He waited obediently aside until Cui Jian finished checking the car.

Cui Jian then looked at the man: "What misunderstanding?" and put the gun away.

Man: "It's just a misunderstanding. Can I leave now?"

Cui Jian smiled: "What do you think? Should we talk here or at my house?"

Man: “Do you have tea?”

The man is a second-rate private detective. He was commissioned to follow Ye Lan and record where Ye Lan lived, who visited her, where she went, and who she had contact with. While the man was drinking tea and explaining, he received a call from his employer, saying that his work had ended and the balance would be deposited into his account.

Hearing this, Cui Jian thought that Ye Lan was someone in the business circle, and was following Ye Lan to understand the Ye family's attitude towards the Lin family. But after careful questioning, Cui Jian found that the employer might not be someone in the business circle, because he was not concerned about which boss Ye Lan met with for cooperation, but about Ye Lan's behavior when meeting with these people. Cui Jian felt that the employer seemed to be looking for an adulterer.

The private detective thought so too. He sent the barbecue photo of Cui Jian and Ye Lan to his employer, who replied for no apparent reason: This is just a toy at most, don't worry about him. Private detectives are reminded to pay attention to young, promising, and wealthy unmarried men.

Cui Jian asked: "Are there any men like this?"

The private detective said in embarrassment: "Mr. Cui, we also have the lowest professional ethics bottom line."

Cui Jian: "Now that you're here, go ahead and talk." He glanced towards the stairs.

Today is Sunday, Xueying had breakfast with Cui Jian and Ye Lan. Ye Lan ate slowly, so Xueying didn't see Ye Lan off and went back to her room first. Hearing some noise downstairs, Xueying, who wanted to do her test paper, took a bag of potato chips and went to the first floor to eavesdrop.

Cui Jian: "Hey, you, don't make such a loud noise when eavesdropping."

Xueying used to soak the potato chips with her saliva before eating them to avoid making noises, but now she just started chewing them. Cui Jian apologized, "My daughter is in her rebellious period, don't mind her." Then he poured tea for the private detective.

After all, the private detective was a second-rate detective and knew some things about Cui Jian, which was the main reason why he did not dare to resist. At the same time, he knew that it would be difficult to get away with it after being caught, so he could only explain everything to Cui Jian.

During these few days, Ye Lan met with at least four young, promising, and wealthy unmarried men for different lengths of time. The employer seemed to know these four people, and he could confirm their identities with just a few questions.

After listening to the private detective's description, Xueying, who was sitting on the stairs, interrupted and said, "The employer should be Sister Ye Lan's admirer and pursuer. According to the plot of the novel, his courtship was rejected by Sister Ye Lan, so he hired someone to investigate the identity of Sister Ye Lan's lover."

Cui Jian: “I think so too.”

Private Investigator: “I think so.”

It seemed like just a small matter. After drinking tea, the private detective said goodbye. Cui Jian went to the stairs to arrest someone. Xueying had already returned to her study to study.

The Korean college entrance examination is in November, and she still has 11 months. Cui Jian still admires this. It is rare for a beautiful girl like Xueying to be so determined to study hard without supervision. After all, for her, studying is not the only way out, and it is not even a good way out. She just decided on this path and was determined to go all the way.
