Chapter 270 Direct Attack
While Cui Jian was fast asleep, the company made a decision on the Shi Hao security project. The company admitted that it had not fulfilled its obligations and accepted investigation and punishment from the relevant departments. All losses were first paid by Ye Lan. That's right, it was just an advance payment. Ye Lan was a businessman after all, and Li Ran and Diudiu would not let others lose money just because of loyalty. Not counting the company's reputation loss, liquidated damages, fines, etc., the total amount was about 30 billion, equivalent to about 200 million US dollars, which was equivalent to Li Ran's two-year salary after tax.
As for the question that everyone is most concerned about, where is Shi Hao? Diudiu said that after the gunfight, Shi Hao took advantage of the chaos to escape. Diudiu produced a lot of evidence to prove that Shi Hao was not at the crime scene when Shi Hao committed the murder, and that the murderer was not Shi Hao. After checking the evidence, the police revoked the wanted warrant for Shi Hao.
Since it was the company that failed to fulfill its obligations, Diudiu and other bodyguards had no subjective fault, and Diudiu provided evidence to the police, they were released on the same day. On the same day, the relevant departments notified that they would investigate Dayin Security in response to Shi Hao's incident, and relevant personnel must report if they leave Hancheng in the near future so that they can accept judicial inquiries at any time. Dayin Security will suspend operations the next day for rectification.
Diudiu has proved that Shi Hao is not the murderer. The company's failure to notify Diudiu is the right result. However, the law not only emphasizes the result, but also the process. The company violated the laws and regulations, and whether it is just or not, it is subject to the constraints of order.
Justice and order seem to be positive words, but in fact, there are many conflicts between them. Everyone has different views and choices, but as a unit like a country, order is far more important than justice, and it can even be said that justice is insignificant. This is also the reason why many human traffickers are not sentenced to death.
One of the reasons is that the law needs to distinguish between light and heavy crimes. For example, people who kill abducted children will be sentenced to death, but not others. This increases the survival rate of abducted children. If the law is one-size-fits-all, criminals of the same type will do more cruel things to destroy evidence.
Cui Jian and the others could guess with their buttocks that Shi Hao must still be under Diudiu's protection, but it was no longer the company's business, but Diudiu's personal matter. If Diudiu fired a gun while protecting Shi Hao, she would be in big trouble.
Shi Hao's incident had little impact outside the circle, but it attracted widespread attention within the circle because of the gunfight. After all, mobilizing a team of mercenaries to fight in South Korea is a big deal. All members of the Thunder Team became wanted criminals, and two of them were arrested on the same day. They should have evacuated as soon as possible, but because of the appearance of a group of Seven Killers, Hancheng issued a secondary alert and the official immediately closed the sea, causing their evacuation plan to fail.
There is also a big news in the circle, the ghost commander was killed, and a ghost died together. It is said that the ghost commander was the first commander of the action that day, and he organized the Thunder Squadron's battle against Huayang District. However, the reason why they are called ghosts cannot prove that their identities and missions are related to any person or any unit.
Will they continue to hunt down Shi Hao? No one knows.
It was already past four in the afternoon when Cui Jian woke up. He went downstairs to prepare dinner and made a phone call.
Ye Lan, who was listening to the PPT presentation as an investor, received the call, nodded to everyone, answered the call while walking, and said softly, "Hello."
Cui Jian called out sweetly, "Sister."
Ye Lan knew what Cui Jian meant, and she couldn't help laughing at the time, just like Sha Gu. The participants were shocked and looked at each other, but they didn't dare to say anything, nor did they dare to look at Ye Lan. Ye Lan knew that she had lost her composure, and immediately stopped smiling: "You guys continue." She went out to answer the phone.
Ye Lan said: "Brother, sister is busy."
"I don't want a sister, I want a sister." Cui Jian added water to the pot and asked, "When will my sister be free?"
"Let me check it." Ye Lan leaned into the meeting room, motioned for her assistant to come out, and said to her assistant, "Help me check the schedule."
Ye Lan looked at the tablet for a while, motioned for her assistant to go back, and continued: "Brother, I can only be a younger sister this week." She said in a secret code that only the two of them understood, and covered her mouth with her hands while laughing.
"Okay." Cui Jian replied disappointedly, "Sister, remember to make sure you have enough rest time."
"understood."
After ending the call with Ye Lan, Cui Jian lit a fire to boil water and stew chicken. An unfamiliar number called, and he answered it, speaking on speakerphone: "Hello."
Shi Feng's voice: "Brother Cui, my flight is tomorrow morning."
Cui Jian: “Are you leaving?”
Shi Feng: "Well, thank you Brother Cui for your care."
Cui Jian: "Have a nice trip."
Shi Feng: "Okay, take care too, Brother Cui, we'll see each other again if we're lucky."
Cui Jian: “Okay.”
After hanging up Shi Feng's phone call, Cui Jian finished processing the vegetables, and Sheng Zi called: "Several targets, action tonight."
Cui Jian asked, "How many?"
Shengzi said, "Edward, the supervisor of Ice Spike, will host a banquet for the inspectors sent by the National Criminal Police Headquarters at a Chinese restaurant tonight. To put it bluntly, they will listen to the work reports. Their immediate superiors want to know the progress of Ice Spike's work. If there is no progress at all, the Ice Spike structure must be changed, such as replacing the person in charge."
Shengzi said: "We require that at least one person be left alive, and the replica evidence be given to the living. We also require the National Criminal Police to make a public statement on this matter within a week. One reason is that attacking the Ice Spikes will give us an opportunity to transfer the exposed personnel. One reason is to show our attitude. One reason is to give the authorities a way out. This is the official bottom line reached by the butler and several Hellhounds after repeated discussions. We will not destroy the Ice Spikes, but we will destroy the Ice Spikes' command system."
Cui Jian said: "Is it just our Hancheng family?"
Shengzi replied: "No, everyone will work together with you to eliminate the local top executive of Ice Spike." Ice Spike's headquarters is in Vienna, but the headquarters is in name only. Ice Spike's strength lies in four branches, all located in cities where Qisha is more active, namely Hancheng, Hamburg, Germany, New Delhi, India, and Santiago, Chile.
There is another purpose. I haven't paid much attention to Ice Spike recently. As long as I temporarily destroy Ice Spike's command system, Qi Sha can quickly change a set of behavior patterns. Although I don't know what Ice Spike's command system is, I think I just need to destroy the commander.
Going to war with Bingci would not only have serious consequences, but also be very difficult. There were too many people on the other side, and it was not Qisha's main business. After discussion, it was decided to assassinate the four regional directors, and Cui Jian would cause collateral damage, and also convey Qisha's attitude through Cui Jian.
……
Chinese food is very popular in South Korea, but the dishes they like are more unusual. According to unofficial statistics, jajangmyeon and lychee meat are actually their two favorite Chinese dishes.
At 888: in the evening, there was a buzz of activity in box on the first floor of a Chinese restaurant.
The black uniform was too eye-catching, so Cui Jian wore a beige sweater, a black mask, and a hat. He entered the busy hall and walked towards the 888 private room. The door of the Chinese restaurant private room was never locked, so Cui Jian walked in directly and then turned around to lock the door. No one noticed him at this time, mainly because the waiters often came in and out.
Cui Jian took off his hat and mask, and the Seven Kills symbol appeared.
Ten people sat at the round table. When someone saw Cui Jian, his first reaction was to pull out his gun, and then there was a hole on his forehead. Cui Jian didn't like silenced pistols or silencers. They would become unreliable after firing a few shots, but today was a special situation.
Cui Jian warned: "Don't move the chairs." Someone tried to move a chair, then dived down, using the tablecloth to cover himself and create chaos.
As the local supervisor, Edward was very calm. He faced Cui Jian and asked, "Does Qi Sha intend to openly confront the authorities?"
Cui Jian did not answer, but took out the laptop from his backpack with his left hand, opened it on the table, and then shot the man who stole the gun. Everyone looked at the man, who was lying on the seat, looking at the ceiling, with a hole on his forehead.
Cui Jian said: "I didn't ask you to hand over your guns. I asked you to give me a reason to kill you. That's right, I look down on you. If you want to live, just cooperate."
After Cui Jian finished speaking, he took out his mobile phone with his left hand and dialed a number. Soon, an audio chat interface popped up on the laptop, and the butler came out to talk nonsense with them. The butler explained the reason for the attack on the ice spikes. During the period, someone opposed Qi Sha's behavior. The butler told the other party that this was Qi Sha's decision and any objection would be invalid.
Cui Jian took the laptop away and said, "There are eight people left. Let's kill one first." Without warning, he raised his gun and shot Edward to death. His words did not give people a sense of oppression, and his shooting had no rhythm, but it made people present feel like they could die at any time.
For someone like Edward, he thought he should say a few more words, but he didn't expect that he would be the next one.
Cui Jian explained: "He is the leader and should go first. Ai Li, don't have too many ideas."
Ellie stopped and asked, "Do you know my name?"
Cui Jian: "You are quite famous among the Seven Killers of Hancheng. Okay, there are seven people left, five of whom are dead and two are alive. Now let's start answering questions. Who here has the most underage children?"
A 15-year-old man raised his hand: "I have four children, the oldest is years old."
Cui Jiandao said: "You have four underage children who need your care and upbringing, but you are doing such a high-risk job as an ice thorn. You are not a qualified father." He opened fire and shot him dead.
One man suppressed his anger and asked, "What about his children?"
"Welcome to join the Seven Killers." Cui Jian continued: "Please raise your hands if you don't have children."
After everyone looked at each other, Ellie and the man who was suppressing his anger raised their hands.
Cui Jian nodded: "Without children, there will be no weaknesses, and you will trample on the law without scruples, so die." Cui Jian fired two shots, one shot killing the angry man, and the other bullet flew past Ellie's face and hit the wall.
Facing Ellie's frightened expression, Cui Jian explained: "Since we slept together, you are alive."
Ellie asked in surprise, "Have we slept together?" Damn it, this was the first time she hated her open personality and having contact with so many men.
Cui Jian ignored him and asked: "Who will get the last spot?" He shot and killed the two men, leaving a middle-aged man and Ellie.
Cui Jian placed the USB drive on the dining table and said, "Please hand the USB drive over to the National Criminal Police Headquarters and convey our request: we require the National Criminal Police Headquarters to make a public statement on the ice spike behavior within a week." After saying that, Cui Jian stepped back to the door, unlocked it, pulled the door, stepped out, and closed the door.
The two survivors immediately checked on their companions, but were disappointed to find that none of them had any vital signs.
There is only one reason why Cui Jian's action was so easy this time. No member of the Ice Spikes believed that the Seven Killers would actively attack them. After experiencing this incident, I believe that for a long time in the future, the Ice Spikes will live in an environment where they are afraid of enemies.
……
I killed someone and went home, cooked a midnight snack, ate it, sat quietly for half an hour, and then went to sleep. Then it was Friday.
Li Ran flew to Hancheng from Malaysia early in the morning. Apparently, his plan to escape had failed. The bad guys still targeted Shi Hao in Hancheng and did not track him. This result was not surprising. After all, they could not fight against the state machine used by the powerful.
The good news is that Shi Hao has completed the judicial inquiry at Huayang Primary School on Wednesday night, and the specific results will be announced on Monday. If the US judicial department is willing to provide asylum, Shi Hao can go directly to the US Embassy. Anyway, even if Shi Hao is no longer worth being silenced, he can only flee to the ends of the earth. Judging from Shi Hao's situation, he should not survive for more than an hour without help.
Cui Jian came to the company, mainly because Ye Lan's sister had a sore back. As a strong woman, she couldn't bend her back on a daily basis, so she urgently called a masseur.
After entering Ye Lan's office, Cui Jian first looked at Ye Lan for a while and said, "You are wearing makeup and concealer makeup. You didn't get enough rest."
You are so smart. Ye Lan rolled her eyes at Cui Jian and said, "Just three minutes." She was reading an asset appraisal report of a company.
Cui Jian: "Without rest, my skin ages, so I have to spend time putting on makeup, which damages my skin. This vicious cycle has made me afraid to even remove my makeup before going to bed, lest I scare myself when I look in the mirror when I go to the bathroom."
"Got it, got it." Ye Lan continued to read the report. After a while, she looked up and asked, "If I become ugly, will you stay away from me?"
Cui Jian thought about this question seriously: "It will deduct points, but it is definitely not the main reason why I left you."
Ye Lan asked: "What is the main reason?"
Cui Jian walked around the desk, looked at the decorations on it, and answered: "A lot, such as how you get along with others, and so on. These are very emotional thoughts."
Ye Lan felt that her question was stupid for a moment. Love was not everything to her, nor would it be the most important thing to her. However, she should indeed do some facial and body care, after all, it was also an investment.
Ye Lan asked: "Did Manager Li call you?"
Cui Jian replied: "No. Our personal relationship is not enough for me to risk my life for his friends."
Ye Lan: "You are so honest."
Cui Jian: “To be honest, there is no pressure.”
Ye Lan: "What do you like about me?"
Cui Jian thought for a while, then grinned. Ye Lan knew what this dead man was thinking. Seeing Ye Lan glaring at him, Cui Jian explained, "Basically I like everything, from head to toe."
Ye Lan: "Basically? So there are things you don't like?"
This question would stump 99% of men. Cui Jian is one of the 1%. He said honestly: "My flexibility is average."
This report is unbearable to read. Ye Lan threw away the information and supported her forehead with one hand. She didn't know what she was thinking. After a long time, she looked up at Cui Jian and asked, "Among the women you have experienced, how flexible am I?"
Cui Jian looked confused: "You are my first woman and my last woman, where does the ranking come from?"
Ye Lan smiled. Even though she knew that the bastard was lying, she still felt less angry.
