Chapter 337 Meeting the Parents (Part )

Ye Wen turned over a cup, Cui Jian scalded the cup with boiling water, and then added tea to the cup. Although Ye's mother was not satisfied, she didn't dare to say anything because Ye Wen was on her left and Ye Lan was on her right. She just felt uncomfortable and blocked in her heart.

As the conversation continued, Cui Jian reflected on himself: "I lost my parents when I was very young, and I rarely participated in social activities as an adult. I am very unfamiliar with social etiquette. If Mr. Ye hadn't reminded me this time, I wouldn't even bring a gift."

Ye Wen replied: "These things are considered a big deal by some people. They take advantage of the situation and say that you don't know etiquette, which is equivalent to disrespecting the other party. In my opinion, it is insignificant because I knew you didn't have such thoughts a long time ago."

Cui Jian was a little surprised: "Oh?"

Ye Wen explained, "During the time you were Ye Zheng's bodyguard, anyone with a bit of sense would at least try to get to know more people when they come into direct contact with the Ye family. My family, the staff of the home, and Ye Zheng. With your profession, you should have many opportunities to come into contact with the bodyguards."

Ye Wen said: "But you have no such thoughts or interests. In today's society, it is rare to find people like you who have low material desires. This is what makes you special."

Cui Jian was puzzled. How could he tell that?
Ye Wen did not explain. Before meeting Cui Jian, he had already asked professionals to investigate Cui Jian. They also found something that made Ye Wen very unhappy. Cui Jian had slept with a professional woman in the Golden Hotel. Since Cui Jian and Ye Lan had not confirmed their relationship at that time, Ye Wen could not say anything. After all, he himself was not a chaste man. However, if Cui Jian still messed around after confirming the relationship, Ye Wen would not let him go. This is not double standards, this is called rules.

What are rules? Rules made by the powerful are called rules.

As for whether Cui Jian really loves Ye Lan, this question is not important, because Ye Lan loves her career first, and then Cui Jian. As long as Cui Jian does not make trouble, it is harmless to get millions of dollars in pocket money a year, and Ye Lan is happy.

After Mr. Ye finished fighting with his grandson, Ye Zheng said he was going to go out to the manor to play with his friends. Mr. Ye sat on his own single sofa and chatted for a few words, then asked, "Cui Jian, do you have any taboos about naming your child?"

Cui Jian didn't understand for a moment, so Ye Lan leaned in and asked in a low voice: "Whose surname will the child have in the future?"

Cui Jian replied with a smile on his face: "There is no taboo, any surname is fine." I don’t even know my last name.

Mr. Ye and Ye Wen were very satisfied with this answer. There were too few members of the Ye family. Will Ye Lan's pregnancy affect her work? For rich people, it is not a problem at all. They can have their own children even if they are not pregnant. Technology changes life, and money circumvents the law.

They had a basic understanding of Cui Jian's situation, and after drinking the tea, both the host and the guests were very happy. The housekeeper notified everyone to eat, and everyone moved to the restaurant. All members of the Ye family were present, which indirectly represented the Ye family's attention and recognition of Cui Jian.

When talking about topics such as wedding date, Cui Jian replied that it could be any time. After all, it is impossible for a big family to marry off a daughter within a month.

The bloody Christmas is coming, and Cui Jian doesn't know why he agreed to meet Ye Lan's family formally. His mood is very complicated. As a qualified member of the Seven Killers, he must act as if he has no plan and live a normal life as a bodyguard. Maybe he shouldn't have contacted Ye Lan in the first place.

Fortunately, Ye Lan puts her career first. She may feel sad for herself, but she believes that time can heal everything. Besides, she did not receive a mission that would ensure her death. Perhaps because of Ye Lan's presence, her chances of survival would be greatly increased.

The dishes on the table were rich and healthy, and there were two waitresses serving them. This was Ye's mother's little trick, but the result disappointed her. Even though her sexy buttocks blocked her view, Cui Jian didn't even look at her. Ye Wen felt that Ye's mother was really childish. She was a person who could remain calm even when facing a catastrophe. How could she not have even basic self-control?

Ye Wen thought that it was basically impossible for Cui Jian to be seduced by other women now. However, it was not ruled out that after marriage, Ye Lan was busy with her career and often traveled at home and abroad, and the two of them had too little time together, which led to someone with ulterior motives taking advantage of the situation. Is it possible for Cui Jian to take the initiative? Ye Wen thought so, but that should be many years later.

Cui Jian admired Ye Wen very much. His murder record was clearly there, but he had no concerns. Ye Wen thought that an honest person would kill someone when he was forced into a corner. Relatively speaking, Cui Jian would be more calm and objective than an honest person.

After dinner, they continued to make tea and chatted until three in the afternoon. Ye Wen left after being reminded several times by his personal assistant. Cui Jian also said goodbye at the right time, as it would be dinner time if he stayed any longer.

Ye Lan was in a good mood, and she sent Cui Jian home and suggested drinking a cup of coffee, completely forgetting about work. Cui Jian was corrupted by his emotions and became emotionally dull, and he didn't expect that Ye Lan had something to say.

The two sat down in the cafe and reviewed the tea party and lunch. Ye Lan got down to business: "The Lin family will hold a chaebol banquet on Christmas..." Ye Lan briefly introduced the history and origin of the banquet, which was similar to what Xueying said.

Cui Jian had a vague feeling that something was wrong. Sure enough, after Ye Lan explained the banquet, she said, "I hope you can accompany me to the Christmas dinner on the 25th. It won't take too much time, two to three hours at most."

Cui Jian was in tears. How could he refuse? Christmas was a foreign holiday? He couldn't celebrate it? But New Year's Day, Mother's Day, Labor Day, and Children's Day were all foreign holidays? He was a certified Taoist? He just wanted to attend the banquet, not to hold religious activities.

Cui Jian did not answer immediately, and the light of hope in Ye Lan's eyes gradually faded. This was not the first time. Last time, Cui Jian explicitly refused to participate in the social activities of wealthy families, and the two even had some arguments. In the end, Ye Lan compromised and eased the relationship.

However, things are different now. Cui Jian has already met his parents, and the specifications and scale of this banquet are not comparable to the banquets held within the three families. As a high-quality woman, Ye Lan also needs a platform and opportunity to explain her situation, and at the same time express the Ye family's support for Cui Jian and herself being together.

Cui Jian reached out and lifted Ye Lan's hair. Ye Lan's subconscious avoidance showed her dissatisfaction with Cui Jian's silent attitude. But Cui Jian still insisted on tucking the hair behind Ye Lan's ear.

A long time passed and Ye Lan no longer looked at Cui Jian, but played with her phone.

Cui Jian finally spoke up and said, "I have to spend Christmas this year with an old lady."

Story: Cui Jian was often targeted and bullied in an orphanage in the United States. A volunteer named Ruth helped and encouraged him all the time. She also paid for Cui Jian to go to college. Why was it not mentioned before? Because Ruth in the story is a murderer who killed her husband. In the first half of this year, she was diagnosed with a terminal illness and was granted medical parole. Cui Jian and several children who received her help decided to spend the last Christmas with her.

After making up the story, Cui Jian was covered in cold sweats. He felt that Ye Lan would not believe it at all. Cui Jian did not know that although Ye Lan did not believe it, she was willing to believe it. After all, Cui Jian's style was still very decent. And this time Cui Jian did not say that he did not want to socialize, so Ye Lan believed it and even discussed Ruth with Cui Jian for a while.

Ye Lan received a call at the right time and left first. Cui Jian watched her get into the car through the French window. Ye Lan smiled sweetly and blew a kiss to Cui Jian who was watching her from the window. Cui Jian was confused by the situation and he had exposed his guilty conscience by not leaving with Ye Lan.

"Hello." Cui Jian answered the phone irritably.

Lao Tu said: "No. 2 and No. 3 have successfully joined the company."

"Yeah." Lao Tu heard something strange and asked, "What can I help you with?"

Cui Jian sighed: "I met my girlfriend's family today."

Lao Tu: “Good thing.”

Cui Jian: "My girlfriend invited me to a Christmas party and formally introduced me to everyone."

Lao Tu: "I have hated holidays since I was a child." He didn't know what to say.

Cui Jian: "Me too. Thank you for your hard work over there."

Lao Tu: “No.”

……

On December 12, Duanmu, who had just been discharged from the hospital, took on a new project. The VIP was named Lei Dong, Target No. 10 of the Seven Killers, and was known as the oldest target. Lei Dong was not only one of the founders of Nemo, but also one of the founders of the execution team. He was the member of Nemo who had a real feud with the Seven Killers.

Lei Dong is the son of a warlord in an African country. At the age of 12, he led a scout to attack the capital and was nicknamed the African Wolf. At the age of 13, he went to Switzerland to study and returned to his country at the age of 22 to become the warlord's first steward. He smuggled and sold diamonds, gold and other precious metals in exchange for a large number of weapons for his father. After his father stabilized the overall situation, he started a gold and metal mine business.

Taking advantage of the war in the neighboring country, he led his guards across the border, captured adult men and women, looted villages, plundered the population, and forced the villagers to mine for him day and night. Then he bought prisoners of war from the war-torn country and people from the peaceful country. Originally, he stayed in his own small piece of land, and it was very difficult for Qi Sha to go deep into the wilderness and get rid of him.

Lei Dong's youngest brother took him as an example and also went to Switzerland to study. On the day when his brother graduated from university and received his diploma, Lei Dong brought his whole family to Switzerland to congratulate his brother. How could Qi Sha miss this opportunity? He killed three Qi Shas in a row and slaughtered the hotel in the middle of the night, killing Lei Dong's brother, his two wives, Lei Dong's four wives and more than a dozen children.

Five minutes before the operation, Lei Dong received a call from a classmate, went downstairs through the back door, got into the car of a female classmate, and went to a place to reminisce with her. Lei Dong thus escaped.

However, due to work and environment, Lei Dong did not have any children even though he married three young and beautiful wives. And because of the Seven Killing Orders, he could only stay in Africa forever.

Now, the Seven Killers have finally collapsed, the housekeeper has been arrested, his life or death is unknown, and the two-headed dog is forced to make all members hibernate through public calls. After 25 years, Lei Dong, now 65 years old, finally stepped into civilized society again. However, after being a mouse for so long, even if he knew that the cat was dead, he still had an instinctive fear in his heart.

Lei Dong wanted the best local bodyguard. Coincidentally, there was a special service captain working part-time as a bodyguard in Hancheng, so the project fell on Duanmu.

Lei Dong can be said to be an iconic figure among the targets. The first sign is that he is the current number one positive target and the person who has been wanted by the Seven Killers for the longest time. The second sign is that he is a veteran of Nemo and has occupied a seat on the Standing Committee for many years. The third sign is that he is the leader of the Anti-Seven Killers faction.

Lei Dong also brought painful memories to Qi Sha. 20 years ago, Ri Yao was about to retire due to eye disease. Before his retirement, he traveled thousands of miles and lurked near Lei Dong's official residence for two days, finally catching him. However, due to the onset of eye disease, he could not recognize the face, and ended up shooting Lei Xi, Lei Dong's father, who was wearing a gray suit.

Lei Dong captured Riyue, tortured him for seven days and then killed him. He filmed the process into a video and circulated it among Nemo. Due to Lei Xi's death, his opponents took the opportunity to kill the crown prince, Lei Dong's younger brother. Lei Dong spent a huge amount of money to hire mercenaries to stabilize the situation in the capital.

Not only did Qi Sha make him lose two more relatives, but it also caused his dozen brothers to have all kinds of thoughts. In the next ten years, the constant conflicts between brothers exhausted him physically and mentally, and his hatred for Qi Sha could not be further increased.

Lei Dong's appearance was not only due to his yearning for modern society, but also the result of the joint lobbying of many Nemos. Lei Dong dared to stand on Plum Blossom Island, which meant that Plum Blossom Island was safe. Nemo's people also knew one thing, because Lei Dong killed Riyou, and he was the oldest target, the desire of Qi Sha to kill him was comparable to his desire to destroy Qi Sha.

Cui Jian did not reject the project, but bargained with Duanmu, and finally took over Lei Dong's security project at a price of $10,000 a day. Duanmu felt that Cui Jian's appetite was getting bigger and bigger, and now he was too lazy to even look at projects in Korean won. Of course, it could also be that Cui Jian's cerebellum did not have the ability to convert exchange rates.

Cui Jian certainly would not kill Lei Dong. He accepted the project for many reasons. There were two reasons related to Qi Sha's identity. The first reason was that Cui Jian wanted to meet Lei Dong. The last photo of Lei Dong that Qi Sha had was a surveillance screenshot from 12 years ago. The second reason was that Lei Dong would land at the Meihua Island airport by private plane. Until now, Qi Sha only knew that the airport had been put into use and knew very little about the internal information of the Meihua Island airport.

On the way to Meihua Island, Duanmu looked a little sick, leaning against the back seat, and looked listless. Cui Jian looked back and asked, "Do I need to greet you?" His tone was lazy, and his spirit level was no higher than Duanmu's. As the two were not in good condition, neither wanted to drive, so they asked the logistics department to drive a car to follow them.

Duanmu: “Yes.”

Cui Jian was helpless: "What's wrong?"

Duanmu: "Bai Qi left yesterday and went on a free and easy life."

Cui Jian asked, "What the hell does it have to do with you?"

Duanmu replied, "I don't know, I'm just depressed." What really made him depressed was that he was basically certain that the Seven Killers had suffered a systematic attack. The so-called systematic attack was not about how many people were killed, but about causing the organization's system to crash. At the same time, he was also a little worried that the butler would betray him. Not to mention whether the part that the Raincoat Guest had taken in before could be kept, it would be much more difficult to implement the Dome Plan in the future.

The most troublesome thing is that the forces guarding the butler this time are not Nemo's forces, which are unofficial forces, but have been recognized by the Standing Committee. This has led to him not having any accurate information about the butler so far. At present, it is only known that the butler is out of danger and has left Germany, and about half of the masked men guarding the butler are Asian.

These idiots, why not leak the housekeeper's information? If there is a chance, if Qi Sha still has the ability to organize, he will definitely start a rescue. Then he can join as a surprise soldier. Duanmu is not worried about the housekeeper's death or being rescued. He is only worried that the housekeeper will be controlled by Nemo.

Lei Dong's coming to Plum Blossom Island seemed to have revealed a message: Nemo had taken the initiative. This was not good news for him.

Duanmu asked: "Are you really not considering working for the Xue family?"

Cui Jian replied: "I don't like being a long-term worker. Now it's good. I can take on projects occasionally, and I have a lot of free time and US dollars."
