Chapter 207 Black Swan

After Cui Jian hung up the phone, Xueying asked, "Does the Yungui incident have a big impact?" She called Yungui by his first name.

Cui Jian shook his head: "I don't know. Someone once said that the simpler things are, the more complicated they are, and the more complicated things are, the simpler they are. Just like a press release, the fewer words, the more serious the matter." Cui Jian's identity determines the information gap, and he never rashly gets involved in complex games.

Take Bai Qi as an example. Li Ran and others have proved that Bai Qi is very capable. Even though Bai Qi performed very badly when Xue Bing was kidnapped, Cui Jian still believed that Bai Qi was capable. As for why Bai Qi performed so poorly? Of course, there are reasons for that.

Thinking of Bai Qi, Bai Qi called and said that the villa complex would hold a buffet tomorrow at noon to thank Cui Jian and the external bodyguards for their recent hard work. It was commonly known as a farewell dinner. Was there a purpose for this dinner? Of course there was, but what was the purpose? Cui Jian would not think too much about it. He did not decide whether to attend based on Bai Qi's possible purpose, but based on his own needs and ideas.

At the farewell dinner the next day, Cui Jian knew Bai Qi's purpose or part of his purpose. He wanted to attract some of the hired bodyguards to join the Xue family. The three chaebols, Li, Ye and Lin, as well as some wealthy people, all hired long-term contract bodyguards with good benefits. In contrast, the hired bodyguards who were paid on a daily basis only worked when the employer needed them, so the risk was much higher than that of long-term bodyguards.

I didn't see Susan at the farewell dinner, but I saw Xue Bing who I hadn't seen for many days. Xue Bing was wearing a modern version of Hanfu today, which is what we call Hanfu in daily life. This kind of clothing lacks historical research and is a structure taken from fairy tales. Xue Bing in this outfit looks like a fairy, and combines the two characteristics of purity and nobleness.

Xue Bing's appearance astounded the bodyguards. During her brief speech of thanks, everyone remained politely silent, and then broke into warm applause.

He still put some brain cells into his first love, Cui Jian. He found that Xue Bing was in a good mood and relaxed. Her smile came from the inside out, with a new vitality. It can be explained that Xue Bing had no immediate worries.

Cui Jian irresponsibly guessed that the kidnapping was a self-directed drama. Since it was irresponsible, Cui Jian did not take it to heart. However, there was a completely opposite problem that had been bothering Cui Jian, that is, Zhang San and Li Si. Cui Jian could not understand why these two people had opposing positions.

Zhang San and Li Si appeared together. They had similar temperaments. They were both sent by Bai Qi to Xue Bing and became Xue Bing's personal bodyguards.

At that time, Li Si was defending the third floor. After falling from the third floor, he ignored the pain and was ready to continue fighting, but was killed by the ghost on Zhang San's side. Assuming that they were really in an antagonistic relationship, Zhang San was a traitor and he was fully capable of dealing with Li Si in the first place. Why did he give Li Si a lot of room to fight back?
Also, why did their bodies disappear?

Are they dead bombs? Although they have not had much contact, Cui Jian feels that they are just like ordinary people. When he looks at them, they will respond politely with a smile. The villa bodyguard also said that they would complain about the food and tell dirty jokes. If they are dead bombs, they should not have any faction conflicts.

Yes, I heard Duanmu Bibi say a lot last time. The general idea was that the original black group had left the stage. Who would be responsible for the death bomb? CIA? Nemo? Or someone?

Qi Sha Cui Jian didn't care about the dead bullet, but the dead bullet posed a great threat to bodyguard Cui Jian. However, Cui Jian believed that Li Ran would definitely pay attention to the relevant information.

"Cui Jian, long time no see." While Cui Jian was concentrating on eating under the shade of a tree, Xue Bing took a glass of champagne and sat down on a chair beside him.

Cui Jian responded: "Ms. Xue, long time no see."

Xue Bing asked: "Are you used to eating the food?"

Cui Jian nodded: "It's delicious, worthy of being a five-star hotel."

Xue Bing smiled and said, "I'm glad you like it. I heard from Bai Qi that you are very familiar with Europe and can speak Spanish."

Cui Jian: “Not bad.”

Xue Bing said: "I often go to Europe, sometimes for tourism, sometimes for living abroad. Excuse me, have you ever considered changing jobs?"

Cui Jian apologized, "Thank you for your kindness, but I don't have any such plans for now."

Xue Bing nodded slightly: "I heard that you and Ye Rannuo know each other?"

Cui Jian nodded: "Yes."

Xue Bing asked: "What do you think of her?"

Cui Jian: “Very good.”

Xue Bing smiled obscurely and said, "She is still single."

Cui Jiandao: "I am single too."

Xue Bing asked: "Do you want to try to get in touch with her? Ye Rannuo and I have known each other for many years. I know her character very well, and she is also very beautiful."

Cui Jian said: "Ms. Ye is a god-like person. She is not only a top hacker, but also smart and beautiful, and a small wealthy woman. I am just an employee, we are not suitable."

Xue Bing smiled and said, "I didn't realize you still have sectarian prejudices?"

Cui Jian replied: "It's not a matter of class. With Miss Ye's status, she might get into trouble someday, and any thunderbolt could crush me into powder. For the sake of my life, I don't want to have anything to do with her. Besides, there are many beautiful women, why risk my life for a beautiful woman?"

Xue Bing was stunned. She originally thought that Cui Jian was modest and self-abased, but she didn't expect him to be very frank: I don't like Ye Rannuo, don't get close to me. But Cui Jian said it very sincerely, without any cover-up. I knew Cui Jian had a personality, but I didn't know he was so unique. For a moment, Xue Bing didn't know how to respond.

Cui Jian was not only sincere, but also truthful. Ye Rannuo was, after all, an indispensable member of the Baiqi Group. She was powerless, but she controlled the information and situation, so she could easily become a target in a conflict. On the contrary, although Cui Jian killed many people, they were all work, and it was always others who provoked him first.

Xue Bing said awkwardly: "You are really clear-headed."

Cui Jian laughed, not quite sober. On one side is a rose with thorns, which requires emotion, time and energy to care for. On the other side is a peony, which can be picked and played with by paying money, and can be discarded without psychological burden when no longer needed. After listing the conditions, you will naturally know how to choose.

You say that roses are yours alone, and that anyone with money can pick peonies. But how do you know that roses will also be yours in the future? A green peony is still a peony, but it would be a pity if a rose turned into a green rose.

The only variable between men and women is feelings. If there is no feeling, it is easy to make the right choice based on standpoint and interests.

Many girls drink milk tea, travel, watch concerts, and party with friends before marriage. After marriage, they mop the floor, take care of children, cook, and buy groceries. Why? Do girls really hate going to work? Do they like being housewives? The variables are emotional, the feelings for the husband, the dependence on the family, and the love for the children, which make her choose a worse material life to satisfy her spiritual life.

Ye Rannuo is not as smart as Yiyi, has less money than Ye Lan, is not as pretty as the front desk lady, is not as virtuous as the elevator lady, and is an important figure in the gray area. If you have a choice, you must be stupid to choose to fall in love with Ye Rannuo.

Cui Jian really didn't know how Xue Bing had the nerve to say that. To put it bluntly, this was called repaying kindness with enmity.

There was no more time to chat, so Xue Bing excused herself and left. After dinner, Cui Jian chatted with Bai Qi for a few words. Bai Qi confirmed that the project was over, and Cui Jian and Bai Qi shook hands and said goodbye, ending the Xue Bing project. That night, he took over the Xue Ying project and went to the college to pick up Xue Ying after class at 9 pm.

……

It takes about ten minutes to walk from Ewha College to the villa. You can take the alley to save two minutes. Before picking up the person, Cui Jian had already walked through several routes. One of the routes had a dangerous area. There was a cheap bar and an underground disco in this dangerous alley. Drunk people were often seen. The two public surveillance cameras in the alley were damaged. In addition, there were four hair salons with red lights on in this alley. They were the kind of hair salons that would close and focus on serving customers when they had their hair cut.

On the first night, Cui Jian took Xueying to a dangerous alley, in order to let Xueying know how dangerous this alley is, so as to prevent Xueying from taking this road one day. After all, no one knows what teenagers think. When Xueying introduced Cui Jian to her classmates, she said that Cui Jian was her cousin and lived in her house recently. Cui Jian's appearance was quite good, which made Xueying's classmates look at him a few more times. So Xueying asked Cui Jian why he didn't have a girlfriend when he had good conditions in all aspects.

Cui Jian replied: It’s none of your business.

Xueying: My classmate seems to like you.

Cui Jian: It’s none of my business.

Bagua Xueying stood there helplessly and furiously.

Cui Jian noticed a can on the ground. As expected, Xueying kicked the can towards the trash can. Xueying said with a silly smile, "It was just a little bit short."

Cui Jian wanted to say: This kind of behavior and this kind of noise can easily cause trouble.

Three young men with dyed hair and tattoos walked over, and Xueying subconsciously retreated to Cui Jian's side. The eyes of this kind of men are not polite at all. They look at the weak with provocation to get a sense of accomplishment from being superior. If they meet the best, even if Xueying is accompanied by a strong man, they will step forward to provoke. The main reason is that they regard their comfort zone as their territory, and rarely consider whether the other party is someone they can provoke, because most of the people they meet are people they can bully.

The alley was not wide, Xueying walked on Cui Jian's right, and the three men walked on the left, but they were lined up. If they continued walking this way, Cui Jian's left shoulder would collide with the left shoulder of one of the men. Therefore, one of the five people had to give way and make a compromise.

In the end, Cui Jian dodged and stepped aside. There were many reasons. He didn't bother with the little ghosts. Secondly, he was worried that the little ghosts would cause trouble for Xueying later. Although he had a license to kill, it was not suitable for this scene. If the other party had a knife, it would be another matter.

The two passed each other, and Xueying found a topic to talk about, "Aren't you worried that the criminals will come to the academy to attack me?"

Cui Jian: "It's basically unlikely. The criminals who attacked Yungui would not attack their targets in public. Why don't we make a bet and see if it's Yungui's forearm that gets chopped off next time, or some other part of his body."

"It's disgusting that you say that."

Cui Jian said gently, "Little sister, you may also be part of the disgusting thing, otherwise I would not have come to pick you up." He stretched out his hand to pull Xueying over, and kicked the drunk man in the lower body. The man had been eyeing Xueying from ten meters away, pretending to be seven points drunk, and planned to hug Xueying when they passed by. If Cui Jian stopped him from beating him, maybe he could extort some money. If he didn't give it to him? He would go to the unit and school to make trouble. After all, the time cost of both parties is different.

The drunkard never expected that he would be crippled with just one move. He didn't even have the strength to cry or curse, and he could hardly breathe.

Cui Jian encouraged: “Go and step on it.”

Xueying: "No."

Cui Jian: “Then let’s go.” Forget it, Xueying doesn’t need to receive street psychology training.

Xueying asked, "Do you know my second uncle?"

Cui Jian: "He was the one who hired me." Yun Xinyue ranked third.

Xueying said, "It is said that my second uncle is very powerful and there is nothing he cannot handle. But my mother said that my grandfather hates my second uncle and does not allow him to get involved in the important family businesses. He excluded him from the heirs from the beginning."

Cui Jian: "Why do you hate it?"

Xueying said, "My grandpa thinks that my second uncle is heartless. If he becomes the head of the family, my grandpa's other descendants will basically have no good ending. I heard from my sister that my second uncle is fair, does not tolerate any sand in his eyes, and kills decisively, which makes my grandpa afraid of him. My second aunt beat the doctor and nurse in a rage because of a misunderstanding, and my second uncle asked her to apologize and compensate. My second aunt is a big girl and has been spoiled since she was a child. Not only did she disagree, she also complained to my grandpa and her family. My second uncle filed for divorce on the grounds that she was unreasonable, irresponsible, and unworthy of being his wife. No one could persuade him, and he let my second aunt cry and admit her mistakes, and he was determined to divorce."

Cui Jian: "It sounds like your second uncle is a pragmatist."

Xueying: "I don't know. We have very little contact with the Yun family of the Kingdom of God. I went to the Kingdom of God once after I graduated from elementary school and met my grandfather. My sister said that my eldest uncle was the successor that my grandfather favored. He has the ability to manage the group and treats his subordinates kindly. Especially because he helped my mother privately, my grandfather believed that he was a man of affection and righteousness. After he takes charge of the family, he will definitely not treat the Yun family unfairly."

Xueying: "It's a pity that everything will turn into the opposite when it reaches its extreme. He was too loyal to his own people, so he indulged Yungui."

As they were talking, through the disco door, the scent of various rouge and perfume filled Cui Jian's nose, making him feel uncomfortable. Outside the disco, there were groups of people, some working class people who wanted to relax, and some bad boys who had nowhere to go. Once again, many girls with strong resistance to cold could be found.

Xueying was not afraid or disgusted with this place, and treated it as a normal passing by.

Walk out of the disco and turn left to another alley, which leads to Lihua Road. There are many shops on both sides of the alley, including red light shops, barbecue shops, cake shops, etc. It is relatively quiet.

Outside a cake shop, a man wearing a mask and a windbreaker stood outside a roadside shop, looking at the cakes and breads on the counter.

Cui Jian took a quick step, passed Xueying on the right, stopped Xueying with his left hand, and reached for the pistol with his right hand. Even Xueying, who was ignorant of the world, felt the murderous intent at this time, so she cooperated obediently without saying a word.

The masked man's face was not clearly visible, but a ring was hanging from his neck by a red string, and the ring fell on his chest as he bent over to look at the next layer of bread. The man's left hand was in his pocket, and Cui Jian could not be sure if he had a gun, so he could not take the initiative.

The masked man seemed to know this as well. He kept his left hand in his pocket and moved it in his pocket, as if pointing a gun at the two people more than ten meters away.

Cui Jian kept moving forward, looking ahead, and the distance between them was getting closer and closer. The closer they got to the masked man, the more suffocated Xueying, who was following Cui Jian, felt.

Three meters, two meters, one meter...

The masked man said in English: "Boss, please get me two black swans." His side profile seemed to smile at Xueying.

A provocative look fell into Cui Jian's eyes. Cui Jian stopped, took a step to the left, and said, "Boss, I want three black swans." Although he did not take action, he could not lose in momentum.

As soon as Cui Jian finished speaking, the masked man immediately felt uncomfortable as if he had eaten a fly: Are you childish? You two bought three Black Swans? Aren't you just arguing with me?
The distance was too close now, so the masked man didn't dare to take action. If he couldn't shoot Cui Jian in the head, he would have to face Cui Jian's counterattack. The counterattack of a dying beast is the most deadly.

The boss didn’t understand English, so he looked at the masked man and said, “I’m sorry, I don’t speak English.”

Cui Jian helped the masked man translate: "He asked, is what you sell shit?"

The masked man nodded and pointed to the black swan cake, indicating that it was correct.

The boss pointed at the masked man and started to curse. The masked man was confused. What's wrong with the atmosphere? The boss waved his hands and said, "Get out of here, get out of here, get out of here." Seeing that the masked man didn't move, he took the broom and walked out of the store. The masked man had no choice but to surrender and leave. He gave Cui Jian a look and said, "Just wait for me."
