Chapter 221 Recovering from Injury

Seeing Xueying's dazed look, Cui Jian couldn't help but ask, "Why are you grinning like an idiot?"

Xueying looked at the ceiling: "I just think I'm too smart."

Cui Jian: "I never realized you were narcissistic before."

Xueying looked at Cui Jian and said, "What's narcissism? This is called self-confidence. What about my family background? I was taught to be humble since I was a child, but the more humble I am, the more proud I want to be."

Xueying didn't like the neighbor aunt in Busan, but she was taught to be polite since she was a child. She should call people aunt and answer their questions. She told her parents that she didn't like the neighbor aunt. Her parents asked her why. She said it was because the aunt was ugly. Her parents talked to her and reasoned with her. Xueying understood that she couldn't just look at the appearance, but she couldn't convince herself that she liked this aunt.

In order to avoid her aunt from chatting with her, she started talking nonsense.

Auntie: Xiaoying is getting more and more beautiful.

Qian Xueying: No way, thank you for the compliment, Auntie.

Xian Xueying: Auntie, please don't laugh at me because of my beauty in the future, otherwise I will be very jealous of your ugliness.

One sentence allowed Xueying to have a week without having to pretend to be nice to the neighbor aunt. Xueying, who had tasted the sweetness, became more and more uncontrollable, and was even labeled as a teenage rebellious. Distance creates beauty. After moving from home to Hancheng, Xueying's temper has been greatly restrained. However, it also cultivated a character in Xueying. If she doesn't like something, she doesn't like it. She doesn't want to waste a second. She doesn't want to learn to be polite, doesn't want to force a smile, and doesn't want to change herself in order to fit in with a certain group.

At this time, Xueying's nonsense and narcissism are no longer weapons of attack or defense, but a good medicine to adjust her mood.

Since she rebelled, Xueying doesn't like to socialize with others. She dresses and acts in a unique way, but she doesn't associate with people who are unique. In short, she is a non-gregarious and lively person. Her personality comes from herself and she doesn't care about the opinions of outsiders or even her family.

At first, she didn't like Cui Jian either, but soon she found that Cui Jian was more self-centered than she was. He just didn't like her and didn't tolerate anyone. Because of the temptation of delicious food and blood relationship, she found that Cui Jian was not only easy to get along with, but also more tolerant than Brother Xuesong, and never talked to her about life principles.

But Xueying didn't expect that Yun Xueshan would come to her house that night even though she had made it very clear on the phone. From a long time ago, the three sisters and brothers would be responsible for the breakfast on the wedding anniversary every year. Even if it was a dark dish, their parents would still eat it with a smile. This year, Xueying was suddenly absent, which made Yun Xueshan feel that Xueying was busy. She came to see if Xueying had any important matters, and secondly, to persuade Xueying to go with her.

It only takes two hours to drive from Busan to Hancheng, which is not far.

Under Yun Xueshan's relentless questioning, Xueying in the living room could only answer that Cui Jian was sick and she needed to stay and take care of him.

Yun Xueshan was so frightened by this sentence. She, Yun Xinyue and Mo Ling knew that they were the only three people who knew that Cui Jian was Xueying's half brother.

Cui Jian can go to the hospital if he is sick. He is an adult and can take medicine. He still has a company and friends. Why did Xueying miss the anniversary and resolutely choose to stay and take care of Cui Jian? In Yun Xueshan's view, there is only one possibility, that is, love. So Yun Xueshan began to ask in a roundabout and tactful way.

During the conversation, Yun Xueshan did not think there was any affair between them, but Yun Xueshan could not understand why Xueying had to take care of the sick Cui Jian. If Cui Jian was seriously ill, he could go to the hospital. If Cui Jian was not seriously ill, Xueying should go back to Busan. You just want to be a doctor, but you are not a doctor yet, why are you staying with him?
Xueying felt that she was about to reveal her true identity, so she started to rebel. The more you asked me to go, the more I refused to go. She started to resist without any reason. This led to her taking a confrontational attitude towards all issues raised by Yun Xueshan.

Yun Xueshan left, feeling uneasy and doubtful. Xueying was very pleased with herself and showed off to Cui Jian.

After listening to this, Cui Jian said, "Little girl, your sister is suspecting that we are in love."

Xueying was surprised: "Is my sister stupid? Besides, even if I'm in a relationship, she can't be nosy and interfere in my private affairs."

Cui Jian was about to say something when his confidential cell phone received a call saying that Lao Tu had come to change the medicine. Xueying did not ask any more questions and cooperated by opening the back door.

Xueying was simple-minded and watched the entire dressing process without hesitation. It was not until Lao Tu looked at her that she realized what was going on and explained, "I repeated my grade just to study medicine."

Lao Tu became interested: "Studying medicine is very hard."

Xueying: "But it can save people."

Lao Tu was quite surprised to see Xueying's sincerity: "This answer is the standard answer, but it is not the answer in many people's hearts. Being a doctor means high income, stable job and high social status. In today's society, few people would say that they become doctors to save lives."

Xueying said proudly: "My name is Xueying, the cherry blossom blooming in the snow." Unique.

Lao Tu smiled, wrapped gauze around Cui Jian, and said, "Hancheng Medical University is good. I suggest you consider it."

Xueying seemed to have heard something. She was quite surprised. Could it be that Lao Tu was a faculty member of Hancheng Medical University? She couldn't tell Lao Tu's age. She wasn't sure if he was an assistant professor, an associate professor, a professor, or just a doctoral student in the medical department. Maybe he was a security guard.

Cui Jian: "Fortunately your last name is Xue, what if your last name was Jiao?"

Xueying retorted: "You should be thankful that your last name is not Hao."

Lao Tu finished his work and said, "You can get out of bed tomorrow morning. Be careful not to put too much force on the wound, and slow down all movements. If you feel tearing pain in the wound, stop all movements immediately. Xueying, can you change the dressing?"

Xueying nodded.

Lao Tu: "I'll leave the dressing change to you tomorrow. He can do it himself in the future."

Xueying nodded again.

Lao Tu stood up, took the backpack containing the medicine box, and said to Xueying, "Hancheng Medical University, remember it?"

Xueying nodded again: "I'll remember it."

Xueying wanted to send Lao Tu away, but Lao Tu refused and asked her to help him open a back door.

Not long after Lao Tu left, Yun Xinyue called and asked Xueying to return to Busan immediately in a very stern tone. The car to pick up Xueying was waiting for her outside the villa.

Cui Jian mouthed: "Go." He could see that this anniversary was very important to their family.

Xueying thought about it again and again, and said to the phone: "I know."

After hanging up the phone, Xueying said, "I'll be back tomorrow morning."

Cui Jian nodded: "Yes." Xueying: "Let me help you go to the bathroom first."

Cui Jian did not refuse. In order to avoid affecting the wound as much as possible, he moved very slowly. When he got off the ground, he put his weight on Xueying's shoulders. Xueying sent Cui Jian back to bed before going downstairs. After passing through the iron gate, she saw Yun Xueshan's three cars. It turned out that Yun Xueshan had not left. This made Xueying even more confused. She could not think of a reason why Yun Xueshan had to take her away, and even contacted her mother to put pressure on her.

……

The next day at 11:00 a.m., Xueying hadn't returned. Cui Jian didn't call Xueying. He got out of bed and used a stool to support his body to walk. The wound was very painful, but Cui Jian only had to pay attention to the tearing pain. After a simple wash and going to the toilet, Cui Jian took the elevator to the first floor, went into the kitchen, opened the refrigerator and looked for a while, and chose rice and boiled meat. Cooking rice is simple, and boiled meat is also simple. The only thing that requires strength is cutting. It is completely possible to sit down and cut it into slices with a steak knife after it is cooked.

The rice went into the pot, the meat went into the water, Cui Jian put his ordinary mobile phone on the coffee table, and slowly sat down on the sofa in the living room. After a while of being in a daze, Yiyi called the confidential mobile phone. In order to avoid pulling the wound, Cui Jian leaned over and took out the phone from his pocket and answered: "Hello." 36 hours had passed, and it was almost over.

Yiyi asked, "How are you doing?"

Cui Jian: “Not bad.”

Yiyi got to the point: "Someone hacked into our system. To be precise, someone knew that Xiao C was a quasi-Hellhound, and hacked into his device through physical means and monitored him. The surveillance lasted at least a month, and thus learned that Xiao C participated in the recruitment meeting, as well as the rules and some details of the recruitment meeting." Cui Jian did not inform the quasi-Hellhound in advance about the interview.

Cui Jian: "Although I don't understand, Xiao C is a quasi-hellhound. He should be able to find out that his phone has been tampered with, right?"

Yiyi said, "That's the theory, but the enemy this time was very skilled and directly copied a phone. For example, if I send you an email, your phone receives it, and the copied phone can also receive it. The copying process is completed in the service provider, leaving no trace. Of course, Xiao C must be wrong, after all, copying a phone takes a long time. I speculate that Xiao C was controlled by the enemy for at least two hours, and he himself didn't know about it, or he knew about it but didn't take it to heart."

Yiyi said: "I even suspect that Xiao C helped to unlock the phone, or the ID number leaked." Yiyi gave an inappropriate example. Pineapple phones have two passwords, one is the six-digit password of the phone itself, and the other is the ID password. If you know the ID password, you can control the phone information.

Yiyi said: "According to investigation, Xiao C and Liu Sheng only have online contact and no real life connection. As for why he was exposed, it is still under investigation."

Cui Jian: "Does the housekeeper suspect that Liu Sheng betrayed Xiao C?" Xiao C, as a quasi-hellhound, is under Liu Sheng's jurisdiction. If there is no direct connection, Liu Sheng only knows that Xiao C exists, but is not clear about Xiao C's actual situation. Unless Xiao C leaks personal information when the two parties communicate on the Internet.

Liu Sheng had a criminal record, and the reason he was exposed was because he had a private connection with Lao Jin.

Yiyi: "We can't rule out this possibility. Little C is currently in a state of confusion and irritability. The harder he tries to recall, the less he can remember. We haven't decided how to deal with Little C yet. In addition, the housekeeper has completed the assessment of Little A and Little B. Little A's situation is not optimistic. Even with the mask, he left behind a lot of fingerprints and even DNA."

Yiyi: "Little B's situation is better. She has mild mysophobia and even wears gloves when she sleeps. But she should have left DNA."

Cui Jian: "Although I rescued them, I didn't actually rescue them."

Yiyi: "That's understandable. But their value is very limited. They may threaten you. After all, you have direct contact with them and you don't use a voice changer."

Cui Jiandao: "I used British English when talking to them."

Yiyi asked: "Do you speak British English?"

Cui Jian: "My instructor is British. He is used to speaking American English during operations, so I am used to speaking British English during operations, and I also know a little Thai English." But few people can understand him.

Yiyi said, "The butler said that you have been serving diligently for eight years and have completed enough work. He and the organization are very grateful to you. There is the Liu Sheng time bomb in front and the recruitment meeting behind. In view of the increasing risk of your exposure, he asked you to consider the possibility of retirement."

Cui Jian: "Thank the housekeeper for me. But so far, there has been no such retirement situation, so I will not consider it."

In the decades since the establishment of Qi Sha, there are only four endings for Qi Sha killers. The first ending: Fingerprints, DNA and other core information are exposed, and they will be forced to retire. The second ending: Ri Yao is currently the first, he falls in love with a woman, retires and gets married. The third ending: Forced to retire due to injury. The fourth ending: Death.

Cui Jian’s reason for refusing to retire is similar to that of most Qi Sha people, and it is also the reason why Ri Yao retires, which is the value of life.

Riyue has found true love. He has a new life, a wife who loves him, and children in the future. His choice to retire has been congratulated by the vast majority of people, and many people are sincerely happy for him.

For people like Cui Jian, retirement is equivalent to losing the meaning of life. He has no warm family, no loving wife, no caring parents, and no desire for material life. The shadow of childhood and the killing world are almost all of their lives. The only retirement life suitable for them may be to live alone with the green lamp and ancient Buddha.

Yiyi did not comment, and said: "I have submitted my resignation to the housekeeper. I will quit my position at Five Headed Dog in the future and concentrate on platform security. The housekeeper will also set up a special position for me: Technical Officer."

Cui Jian: “Congratulations on your progress.”

Yiyi responded with a smile: "But not now. The recruitment of the four-headed dog will be stillborn. After I left, the five-headed dog position in North America has been vacant. Fortunately, in the early stage of Operation Giant Whale, most of our losses were quasi-seven killers, not quasi-hellhounds. Currently, there are more reserve personnel for the hellhounds."

Cui Jian did not comment, because his comments could affect the housekeeper's arrangements for the hellhounds. Professional matters should be left to professionals. When Cui Jian saw Yi Yi talking about her own affairs, he knew that the main topic was over, so he asked: "Do you understand Zhao Ai's situation?"

Yiyi: "Zhao Ai's life story is pretty much what she said. She showed no concern for her body, which doesn't fit her resume. I think she knew you wouldn't do anything to her, so she deliberately created a persona to further test and understand you."

Cui Jian: "That is to say, she has some plans for me or Duanmu."

Yiyi: "We spent a lot of effort analyzing her study and work trajectory, and found no evidence that she had any contact with high-end teams." High-end teams refer to gangs such as Blackbird and Nemo that have the ability to commit transnational crimes.

Yiyi: "From the customs records, she didn't go abroad very often, but each time was more than half a month. The investigation found that she received firearms training abroad."

Cui Jian: "She had already taken revenge at the age of 13, so why is she still obsessed with improving her personal fighting ability?"

After graduation, Zhao Ai opened a security company, which was later acquired by Shenjing Security Company, and Zhao Ai became a bodyguard supervisor. The boss of Shenjing Security Company is his second uncle. His second uncle asked Zhao Ai to investigate Xueying's security situation, and everything made sense.

Cui Jian is looking for the answer to why Zhao Ai wants to stay in Korea? Why does she want to join Dayin Security? Cui Jian believes that Zhao Ai's target is not him, so he has no desire to learn from Zhao Ai. Isn't Cui Jian worried that Zhao Ai's target is Duanmu? This is just worrying about nothing. Duanmu is not a good person. Even if Duanmu loses in the end, it is because Duanmu is not as skilled as others. Even though he has a lot of resources and overwhelming strength, he still loses to an orphan girl. Cui Jian just treats it as a good show.

Yiyi was unable to answer Cui Jian's question and said, "Take good care of your injuries. You can contact me if you need anything."

Cui Jian: "Thank you, goodbye."

"Goodbye."
