Chapter 343 Korean Alliance
At nine o'clock the next morning, after making a few phone calls, Beauvoir came out of her bedroom and was escorted by three people to the restaurant for breakfast. She didn't want to eat buffet, so she ordered an American sandwich and a glass of milk. Cui Jian and others naturally lined up to eat buffet early in the morning.
The two cars drove for half an hour, turned into the hillside villa area, and stopped on the roadside of the target villa.
The target villa is not big, about 65 square meters, with a construction area of 700%. Compared with Ye Lan's square meters villa, Mr. Ye is not particularly partial.
The big iron gate of the villa was closed, and the small iron gate was opened. A bodyguard stood beside the small iron gate. Cui Jian had seen this person before. He was one of the first batch of students in the bodyguard academy. Although he didn't know his name, Cui Jian knew that this person was from the Ye family bodyguard team.
The bodyguard naturally recognized Cui Jian. It was no news in the circle that Cui Jian, as Ye Lan's boyfriend, went to Ye's house for dinner. Even so, the bodyguard asked them to wait for a while, contacted them through the intercom, and let them go after the camera at the door scanned the three people.
Entering the villa, there were two Ye family bodyguards patrolling outside the courtyard, and another bodyguard standing in the living room. They were greeted by the Ye family's housekeeper. Cui Jian also saw two maids, and when he turned his head, he could see the chef busy in the kitchen.
The housekeeper talked to Beauvoir for a few words, led her upstairs, and nodded respectfully to Cui Jianshi. Duanmu asked, "Do you need us to accompany you upstairs?"
Beauvoir hesitated and looked at the butler. The butler showed an expression of obeying orders, and Beauvoir nodded. Cui Jian interrupted the line: "Gui Yi, be alert." Usually, Cui Jian would be responsible for the outer guard. Today, Cui Jian was curious about the identity of the person that Beauvoir wanted to meet. He first ruled out Ye Wen. Ye Wen knew the etiquette and would at least go downstairs to greet Beauvoir.
The second floor is decorated very lavishly, leaving a width of 2.5 meters for the corridor. At the end of the corridor is a sunny garden filled with potted plants. At a glance, you can see that the flower pots are all new. The three sides and the top of the garden are made of special glass material, and the sun shines in obliquely, covering the entire garden.
In the middle of the garden there was a three-person bench with some cushions on it. A man in his fifties was sitting quietly on the sofa, in front of him was a beautiful crystal table with a sumptuous breakfast on it.
The man stared blankly ahead. A maid was kneeling on one knee on the pillow, feeding him mouthful by mouthful. After each mouthful, she would wipe his mouth with a napkin, appearing to be very patient.
A doctor and a nurse sat aside and observed the man quietly.
There are four cameras installed in the garden, recording all movements in the garden in 360 degrees without blind spots.
The housekeeper called out, and the doctor walked to the door to talk to Beauvoir, explaining the patient's condition.
If Beauvoir wants to talk to a patient, she needs to get his attention first, but the patient's attention span is very short. The patient's condition is similar to autism, his mind is in his own space, you need to make him pay attention to you, he will talk to you. Once the conversation does not go well, he will immediately return to his own world.
The doctor regretfully said that his brain nerves had suffered irreversible damage and could not be cured through psychiatric treatment. Moreover, the time he would lose himself would become longer and longer, and the stimulation from the outside world would become weaker and weaker. Conclusion: a walking vegetative state. The good news is that the patient still has instincts and will open his mouth to eat when food is brought to his mouth.
The nurse reminded: "He peed."
The maid took the intercom to call someone, and the doctor recorded the time and said, "Before, he could instinctively control his urge to urinate, but now he has no reaction. The same is true for his movements. Before, he could walk, move his hands, and do some manual labor, but gradually, these reactions have become less and less."
The doctor looked at Beauvoir with sympathy: "I'm sorry, I've tried my best." He thought the patient was a relative of Beauvoir.
The nurse called two male servants over, and they were about to change the patient's pants. Duanmu said, "Please send him to the room and change his pants."
A male servant hesitated and said, "Is it unnecessary?"
Duanmu said: "I think it is necessary. This is the minimum respect for him." His tone was strong, and he had no awareness of being an invisible bodyguard at all.
The young butler said, "Do as I say. I will do the same from now on."
"Yes." The two men helped the patient up and carried him to the bedroom.
Cui Jian asked: "Do you know him?"
Duanmu shook his head: "I don't know him, but I know who he is."
"Who?"
"Seven Killings Butler."
Cui Jian asked in surprise: "Why is he here?"
Duanmu shook his head: "I don't know either." After that, he stepped aside and returned the stage to Beauvoir.
Beauvoir began to look at the flowers and plants. Ten minutes later, the two servants brought the patient back.
Cui Jian looked at the butler, whose pupils were unfocused. He was dressed very decently, in a gray suit and had some white hair. He looked more like an academic expert.
Beauvoir sat down opposite the housekeeper and said softly, "Hello, my name is Beauvoir, do you know me?"
The housekeeper did not respond, so Beauvoir began to talk, from her childhood to the present day.
Cui Jian understood that Beauvoir's actions were purely psychological. She did not have the mentality or idea of revenge. She hoped that the perpetrator would feel guilty and apologize to her. Such people are not uncommon in the West. In the news, a German girl was raped by Syrian refugees, but she stood up to forgive them and called on everyone not to discriminate against refugees because of her experience.
Cui Jian didn't hate this kind of people. After all, they were not generous to others. At most, they could be considered saints, not bitches.
When he saw the butler, Cui Jian did not feel sad. He thought the butler had done what he should do. The butler's current situation was much better than Cui Jian had expected.
Something unexpected happened, there was a commotion downstairs, and it was coming to the second floor. The two bodyguards stationed nearby were a little flustered, and kept asking what happened. Cui Jian stepped forward, pulled Bova away, and Duanmu opened the door of the room closest to the garden and let Bova in. Cui Jian held the handle of the gun, guarded the door, and looked at the stairs to the second floor.
Lei Dong appeared, and with him came Zhang Yao. The bodyguards at the stairs tried to stop them, but Lei Dong used his huge physical advantage to push him aside. As he walked, Lei Dong shouted, "Where is he? Where is he?"
The two bodyguards at the entrance of the garden were talking to the outside world. When Lei Dong approached the garden, one of them drew his gun and shouted, "Stop, don't go any further."
Lei Dong asked angrily: "Do you know who I am?"
The bodyguard didn't answer. Another bodyguard raised his gun and said, "We only know who our boss is. Please leave here immediately."
Cui Jian leaned against the door to watch the excitement, but his hand was still on the gun handle. He was quite happy to draw his gun to help and took the opportunity to kill Lei Dong. The bodyguard was a bodyguard of the Ye family. The boss was obviously Ye Wen or Mr. Ye. As a prospective son-in-law, he should help his father-in-law solve his problems.
You can bully me, but you can't bully my father-in-law's bodyguard. Afterwards, my father-in-law will be grateful for my passion and will probably bail me out. Cui Jian was not just thinking casually. If it wasn't for the upcoming Bloody Christmas and he had an important mission to perform, he might have really shot Lei Donglai.
Zhang Yao grabbed Lei Dong's shoulders from behind and kept talking in his ear. Lei Dong nodded and pointed at the bodyguard: "I'm waiting for your boss on the first floor. Ask him to come over immediately."
Duanmu said behind Cui Jian: "Nemo's internal conflicts." Speaking of factions in Nemo, there are only the hatred faction and the non-hatred faction, but the non-hatred faction also has to follow the etiquette of the hatred faction on a daily basis. Hostility towards Qi Sha is a kind of correctness within Nemo. After all, the foundation of Nemo is to unite those who have been hurt by Qi Sha.
Interestingly, the number of people who really hate Nemo is less than 20%. The number of people who are targeted in Nemo is also less than 20%. Of course, in the early days, this number reached 80% or even higher.
Lei Dong and Zhang Yao went to the first floor, and Bova went to the Sunshine Garden again. Bova said a lot. Cui Jian thought Bova was bored, but one of her words really irritated the housekeeper. Bova asked, "After every murder, do you confess to God?"
No! Cui Jian answered in his heart, how can I repent if I can't even remember their names? Should I tell God that today I killed the one in red shirt and white pants, the one in white pants and white shirt, the one in white pants and white shirt with dreadlocks, and the one who was hit in the head, the one who was hit in the heart, the one who broke his neck... I'm sorry, I killed them... But I have to kill a group of people tonight, we'll see you tomorrow, I'll try to remember their appearance.
Cui Jian is an atheist, but the housekeeper is not. He is a devout Catholic. When he heard Beauvoir's question, his eyes finally focused. He slowly looked at Beauvoir and asked, "Do you want to confess?"
Bova nodded: "As the Seventh Killer, have you ever repented for the people you have killed?"
The butler thought for a while and replied, "I have been in hell since I was born. I went out of hell with a knife to kill people in the hope that others can be born in heaven. I know that my hands are stained with blood and I will return to hell eventually, so why should I repent for killing people? I can repent for my greed and selfishness, but I will not repent for killing people."
Beauvoir: "But you killed a lot of innocent people."
The butler: "So I will eventually return to hell." The butler did not say his core idea: among the seven deadly sins, killing is not one of them. In the butler's view, selfishness and greed are original sins, and he is willing to repent for having such thoughts.
Beauvoir: "Why do you do this? You have already escaped from hell. You deserve a better life. Your suffering may just be a test from God."
Steward: “God loves the world, but He never said that God loves Himself.”
Beauvoir understood the stewardship theory. He believed that he followed the Catholic way, but he was just following the way of punishment. The so-called way of punishment is a bit like feeding a tiger with one's own body. I could have lived a good life, but because God advocated love for the world, I decided to sacrifice myself to help others.
Cui Jian was watching from the side and found it funny. How could Beauvoir convince an adult with stable values to change her mind? Adults will change their behavior because of interests or fear, but it is difficult for them to change their values because of other people's nonsense. It is not impossible, such as pyramid selling.
Sure enough, after Beauvoir nags for a few more sentences, the butler's eyes become blurred. This is a sign that he has lost interest in the topic and returned to his own world.
There was a sound of glass breaking downstairs. Cui Jian left the garden and asked through the headset: "Gui Yi, what's going on?"
Gui Yi replied: "Lei Dong wanted to return to the second floor but was stopped and was smashing things to vent his anger."
Cui Jian looked at Duanmu and pointed downwards with two fingers, indicating that he should go downstairs to take a look. Duanmu nodded slightly, and Cui Jian went downstairs.
Cui Jian went downstairs to the first floor stairs and saw Lei Dong sitting on the sofa, his face full of anger, his chest heaving, panting, and around him were things he had smashed. All the servants hid, and the four bodyguards who stayed behind also stayed away from him.
At this moment, a convoy of three cars stopped at the gate of the villa, and Ye Wen entered the villa under the protection of bodyguards. He first saw the messy scene, and then heard Lei Dong suppressing his rage and asking questions and accusing him: Why did you stop him?
Ye Wen picked up a chair and dragged it in front of Lei Dong, motioning Lei Dong to sit down. He sat opposite Lei Dong. The two bodyguards beside him stood behind Ye Wen with strong backs and looked closely at Lei Dong. Ye Wen tilted his head and said, "You all go out first."
A bodyguard hesitated: "Boss Ye, this is not appropriate, right?"
Ye Wen turned around and saw Cui Jian, and said, "It's okay. Cui Jian, you stay."
The servants and bodyguards left the first floor of the villa. Two bodyguards went upstairs, guarding the stairs to prevent people on the second floor from leaving.
Ye Wen glanced at the teacup on the ground, and Cui Jianshe immediately turned over the overturned coffee table, took out the tea tray from the side, and started to boil water to make tea.
Lei Dong, Zhang Yao looked at the busy Cui Jian, and Ye Wen said, "It was the decision of the Standing Committee that I receive the housekeeper. Lei Dong, you are a member of the committee."
Lei Dong said: "I agreed to let you receive him, but I didn't ask you to treat him with courtesy. Look at the conditions you offered him. Don't forget that he killed your beloved."
Ye Wen smiled and said indifferently: "Her value is that she gave birth to a child for me, not that she is my beloved. Lei Dong, I am different from you. I, Ye, claim that I am not a good person, but I never do anything that harms others. You and I both know that the matter of Qi Sha is your business and has nothing to do with me. When you agreed to let me receive the housekeeper, weren't you thinking of dragging me down? Don't you want to know whether Qi Sha is still capable of taking action?"
Ye Wen said, "We are all adults, so why put on airs? I don't believe you are so angry simply because you are angry."
Lei Dong remains angry: "My family all died at his hands."
Ye Wen said: "Your family has nothing to do with me. If you have nothing else to do, please leave."
Lei Dong laughed out of anger, leaned back on the sofa, looked at Ye Wen with interest for a while, and said, "I want to join the Han Alliance."
Cui Jian had a huge question mark on his head and put the tea in front of Ye Wen. What is the Han Alliance?
Ye Wen asked back: "How do you know Han Meng?"
Lei Dong said: "Isn't your purpose of joining Nemo to form the Korean Alliance? I completely meet your requirements. I have influence on my country's political circles and I have wealth and power. Because of the sanctions imposed by the United Nations, my goods cannot be sold through normal trade, nor can I obtain certain materials through normal trade. Diamonds, which are extremely precious to you, I can only use to exchange for some inferior rifles. I know that the Korean Alliance can completely solve this problem."
Cui Jian quickly understood what Lei Dong meant by the Han Alliance. Lei Dong said that the Han Alliance was a circle within Nemo initiated by Ye Wen and others. This circle is essentially an anti-anti-monopoly business alliance.
For example, in a monopoly, I sell milk, and everyone who wants to drink milk can only buy it from me. I can sell it at any price I want. Since my products are easy to sell, I don't care about the quality of the product.
Anti-monopoly, milk is getting more expensive and the quality is getting worse, so the government came forward to make laws to split my milk brand into several companies, so that we can form a competitive relationship. Milk with good quality, low price and large quantity will naturally be sought after by consumers.
Anti-monopoly, my milk is divided into three brands: good, super good, and super good. If we form vicious competition among ourselves, it will not be good for everyone. So our three brands sat together to discuss cooperative monopoly. For example, if I raise the price on the 12th of this month, I will lose a certain degree of competitiveness. Super good will raise the price after 7 days. Super good will raise the price after 14 days. We are in the same competitive market again. The only difference is that we raised the price.
There is also a news report that a large seafood merchant classified rainbow trout as salmon. This behavior is a typical case of collective cooperation among merchants.
As long as we think it is salmon, it is salmon.
