Chapter 349 Intermediary
Meanwhile, Cui Jian learned about the current situation from George's explanation. Yu Ming had discovered that someone was going to sink the Rocket, so he put the blame on Li Jie. George did not doubt the news that the financier Li Jie had taken the cyborg technology and was going to sink the Rocket.
George understood one thing at that time: the only one who could help him now was the Investigator Organization. So under Yu Ming's arrangement, on the second night after the Rocket was sunk, George arrived in Hancheng by sea and stayed at the place arranged by Yu Ming.
George certainly doesn't completely believe Yu Ming, he said he can help Yu Ming uncover the truth about the cyborgs, and he has a lot of evidence of the laboratory harming humans. The condition is that Yu Ming helps him leave East Asia, gives him anonymity, and gives him the opportunity to start a new life.
Yu Ming needed George to record a video with the evidence he had and publish it directly on the Internet. George had already recorded the video in the past few days. He now wanted a new identity and a new passport. Yu Ming stayed in the UK for so long just to help him get an identity.
Next is the transaction time. As a bodyguard, Cui Jian needs to ensure the security of their transaction and protect Yu Ming from posting the information on the Internet.
Before that, Cui Jian also had a job to inspect the goods. He had to watch the video first to see if it could meet Yu Ming's required standards. Yu Ming's required standards were sent to Cui Jian by George in the form of a letter. In the letter, Yu Ming briefly explained the situation and left the phone number of an Irish bar. If Cui Jian could confirm the content of the video, he would call the bar and find a man named Davis.
On the way to Xifeng Town, Cui Jian watched the video recorded by George through the car's central control connected to the Bluetooth of his mobile phone. In the video, George first explained his identity and his achievements in the field of brain nerves, and then explained his experience. It contained very detailed information about the Golden Dragon Society, Rocket, Dr. Kameda, etc.
In George's explanation, he accused the financial backer Li Jie of stealing research technology and sinking the Rocket to silence people.
In the last seven minutes of the video, George introduced the technology of cyborgs in detail. He even made a PPT for this purpose, holding a tablet and explaining it to the camera.
Cui Jian borrowed George's phone and called the Irish bar to find a man named Davis. A woman answered the phone and asked about the result. Cui Jian was not sure about the quality of the video because the whole video did not mention Luke or Nemo Special Forces. But from George's perspective, he did not know that Luke and Special Forces were watching him.
Cui Jian replied: The quality is good.
The other party replied with a "OK" and hung up the phone.
Yu Ming finally called three minutes later, calling George and letting the speaker go: "George, get off at the Xifeng Town bus stop, someone will come to pick you up."
George threatened: "I need a new identity, a new passport, and I need to leave East Asia. If you do anything unusual, I will destroy the video." Look at Cui Jian.
Cui Jiandao: "He put the memory card in a small bottle. There might be acidic liquid underneath. As long as he pressed the bottle cap, the memory card would fall into the liquid. That's probably what happened."
Yu Ming replied: "Mr. George, please believe me, I am a person who is against violence, a person of integrity, and a person who is free from vulgar tastes."
George: "Then let me see your sincerity." He made up his mind not to release the eagle until he saw the rabbit.
……
Duanmu received two messages. The first message: George got off the bus at the Xifeng Town bus stop. The second message: Yu Ming's project was over.
The second piece of news stunned both Duanmu and Cui Jian. Is that the end?
Cui Jian drove back to the company, returned the equipment to the management office, and walked to the elevator. He saw two beautiful women from the administrative department who were working overtime waiting for the elevator. Cui Jian turned around and left. One of the beauties had flirted with him and had a strong perfume on her body. Cui Jian didn't want to take the elevator with her. It was only the third floor, so he went downstairs.
He walked downstairs quickly and went out the side door. The side door was where Cui Jian parked his car. With the help of the light from the side door, Cui Jian saw a man curled up in the passenger seat, fiddling with something. Whatever he was fiddling with, he looked very unskilled.
Cui Jian walked forward and pointed the muzzle of his gun at the windshield. The man looked up at Cui Jian and the muzzle of the gun, then smiled. Cui Jian opened the passenger door and lifted the man out like a chicken.
This person was Yu Ming. He did not resist and laughed dryly: "Didn't you take the elevator?"
Cui Jian ignored him and carried him towards the company. Yu Ming immediately said, "Prostrate yourself and apologize, and you will get a luxury car and $100,000."
Cui Jian continued walking, and Yu Ming said anxiously, "One million dollars."
Cui Jian stopped, thought for a while, and continued walking. Yu Ming said: "One million US dollars plus a Yu Ming Card. As long as it does not violate basic human ethics, you can come to me anytime." Yu Ming had heard Cui Jian talk about the Tianxia Card, and he was forced into a corner so he created the Yu Ming Card.
After hearing what Yu Ming said, Cui Jian knew that there really wasn't much money to be made, so he turned and walked towards the car. Yu Ming breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Brother Cui, a luxury car is also good."
Cui Jiandao: "Model luxury car?"
Yu Ming: "Haha, how could I be so shameless."
Cui Jian: "When you stabbed my car, you were already shameless enough."
Yu Ming got on the co-pilot seat, Cui Jian got on the driver's seat, and said, "Go ahead."
Yu Ming pried open the interior light, took out a thumb-sized camera from inside, connected the camera to the computer he was carrying, and said, "I hired someone to tamper with your car."
Cui Jian asked: "How did you open my car door?" and found no signs of violent breaking of the lock.
Yu Ming said: "Last time I went to your house for tea, I found that you left the spare key casually aside. Many people think that if the spare key is out of power, you don't need to worry about it. In fact, you only need to buy a button battery."
Cui Jian asked: "How can you be sure that I will drive my own car to take on your project?"
Yu Mingdao: "Will you rent the company's bulletproof car for two hundred dollars?"
Cui Jian asked again: "How do you know George can use Bluetooth to connect to the central control to play videos?"
Yu Ming replied: "Not only do you need to verify the quality of the video, but there is a dog chasing you from behind, so you can only drive while watching the video. In this case, even if you don't use the central control, the video will be placed in front of you for your convenient viewing." As long as the video appears in the area near the central control, it will be recorded by Yu Ming's hidden camera.
In order to avoid disturbing Cui Jian and Duanmu who was chasing Cui Jian, Yu Ming did not dare to use the real-time wireless connection and was forced to dig out the camera himself. However, Yu Ming's hands-on ability was obviously not as good as his brainpower, and this and that delayed his time.
Yu Ming: "I stayed in the UK for a while. My purpose was to stabilize George and make him think that I was acting as his identity, so that he would be willing to film videos for me. I asked you to go to Plum Blossom Island because I was afraid that no one would follow or notice you, and I was also worried that you would get rid of them."
Yu Ming: “That’s probably the situation.”
Cui Jian asked: "Why is Li Ran willing to cooperate with you?"
Yu Ming replied: "Because he and my boss are friends."
Cui Jian: "How did you get on the Rocket?"
Yu Ming replied: "This is a professional secret, but Brother Cui, you are the only person I trust in this world. I have no secrets in front of you. I know what kind of woman George likes, so I found a professional woman. I am the younger brother of this professional woman. I don't think you will like to hear the specific operation, Brother Cui. In the end, when George knew my identity, he faced two outcomes. Either he could be a scapegoat and be sent to prison by me. Or he could be a scapegoat and sink to the sea. I, who am kind, gave him a third choice. Not only did he have no choice, but he had to believe me because I was the only one who could let him go unpunished."
Yu Ming said: "I also found spies on the Rocket, but it is hard to determine who they are. Now it seems that they should be special forces, and they have mastered the technology of cyborgs."
Cui Jian drove the car and asked slowly, "Yu Ming, do you believe I can kick you out of the car?" Yu Ming apologized quickly, "It's my professional habit. I can cheat you by the way. It can not only see how much you know, but also confirm some things. I know that Li Jie and Luke have mastered the technology. Captain Nemo's special forces seem to have no interest in technology. His people are more interested in searching for evidence. The question is, why are the special forces chasing me?"
Cui Jian asked, "Did you intend to let George get into Luke's or Li Jie's car?"
Yu Ming nodded, "Yes, but now it seems that George got on the special forces car. It's not a bad thing. I don't think the captain of the special forces is a good man and will let George go. I am more worried about one thing now. After I disclose the inside story of the cyborgs, Li Jie and Luke will stop their activities and use their technology to harm the world in a few years or even a dozen years."
Yu Ming said: "I am considering the possibility of cooperating with Nemo Teqin. We can use them to eliminate Li Jie and Luke, or at least destroy the cyborg technology they have. But I am not sure about Nemo Teqin's true attitude towards cyborgs. After all, this technology is definitely a good thing for some ambitious people."
Kidnap a politician and spend half a month to a month to complete the transformation. From then on, he will listen to you and influence the country's decision-making.
If you kidnap a rich man, he will give you his wealth with both hands.
There is little point in mass production, but the targeted production of humanoid dogs can allow those who control the technology to make huge profits.
For example, kidnap Yun Xueshan, make her fall in love with someone, and then release Yun Xueshan. Yun Xueshan will not marry anyone but that person, and will do so at any cost. The profit from this deal cannot be simply summarized in hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars. Moreover, Yun Xueshan has not lost her skills, and she is still able to expand her business territory and completely become someone's working dog.
Similar characters include special service captains, etc., who all make a lot of money in this business.
Cui Jian asked: "Do you want to talk to the special forces captain?"
Yu Ming said: "The evaluation of the special forces captain in our organization is not low. The organization does not think that he will use the technology of human transformation to make a profit. But before that, I would like to talk to Duanmu."
Cui Jian asked in surprise: "Why? He is just a lackey."
Yu Ming disagreed: "We believe that Duanmu must be one of the most trusted people of the special forces captain. In addition, there is another important reason."
Cui Jian asked: "What's the reason?"
Yu Ming said: "I can't say."
Cui Jian asked: "Do you believe that I can drive with one hand and break your neck with the other hand?"
Yu Ming smiled bitterly: "Brother Cui, this is the rule of the industry."
Cui Jian glanced at Yu Ming and said, "Then transfer the one million first."
Yu Ming sighed. Brothers should settle accounts openly. There is nothing much to say. It is true that he played tricks on Cui Jian and used Cui Jian, which is not in line with brotherly ethics. However, as for one million... He was anxious at first, fearing that something might go wrong with the camera, and also afraid that after Cui Jian caught him in the company, some bad guys would steal the camera, so he asked for a high price and used one million to stabilize Cui Jian.
Cui Jian seemed to know what Yu Ming was thinking, and said, "You know I don't care about this little money now, but one million is a token of sincerity."
Yu Ming sighed and checked the balances of three banks on his phone. He asked, "Can you give me 600,000 first? The remaining 400,000 should be paid off within the next year."
Cui Jian said: “Give me 600,000 first, and another 600,000 next year.” He stole my house keys, secretly installed surveillance in my car, and used me as a chess piece.
Yu Ming did not struggle and called his boss for financial help. About five minutes later, Cui Jian received one million dollars in his account.
Cui Jian was very satisfied and said, "You could have told me the truth, but you were so arrogant that you had to hide it from everyone. This is my tuition fee. I am kind by nature. If it were someone else, you would be dead."
After paying the money and getting angry, Yu Ming said, "You rough guys won't understand the level of our technical team. Contact Duanmu for me, hurry up."
Cui Jian took the money, served Yu Ming, and contacted Duanmu on his cell phone: "Are you free?"
Duanmu has already caught George and is currently using torture before interrogation, asking: "What do you understand by this sentence?"
Cui Jian said: "Let's get straight to the point. I'm the middleman for your meeting and I have to ensure the safety of both of you. If there's no problem on your side, I can drive you for a ride."
Duanmu said: "Cui Jian, this kind of thing is not something that a soldier like me can decide. There is no point in you going for a ride with me."
It's comfortable to talk to smart people.
Yu Ming nodded.
Cui Jian said: "It makes sense. Just tell me whether you are willing or not. Don't let your people follow me. I will only guarantee the safety of you and Yu Ming. This is a purely private meeting."
Duanmu asked: "Do I have a choice?" Yu Ming has already taken the initiative. If he doesn't want to fight Cui Jian head-on, meeting Yu Ming is currently the best solution.
Cui Jian: "I don't know, don't ask me." He abides by the law as a bodyguard and has professional ethics as a middleman. He will not provide any guiding opinions to clients.
Duanmu thought for a while and asked, "Want to eat hot pot?"
Cui Jian: “Sure.”
Duanmu said: "See you in two hours, I will send you the location."
After hanging up the phone, Cui Jian asked, "Yu Ming, why did you get involved in this matter?"
"Why does the sun rise from the east?" Yu Ming said to himself, "Does the sun want to rise from the east, or is it forced to rise from the east?"
Cui Jian: "Speak Korean."
Yu Ming: "When you asked me to investigate Liu Sheng, I found some details in Kyoto. After reporting it, the organization arranged for me to be responsible for the investigation. According to the regulations of the investigator's organization, assuming there is no employer, then how to handle and resolve this matter is entirely up to the investigator himself."
Cui Jian thought Yu Ming did not answer his question.
Yu Ming added: "A young man in his 20s with no background now has the opportunity to arm wrestle with the world-famous Luke, the captain of the special forces. Do you think he should back down?"
Cui Jian smiled but said nothing, "I'll buy you some coffee."
Yu Ming: "The most expensive one, the most expensive in all of Korea, the kind that doesn't offer discounts or refills."
