Chapter 356 Xue Family
It was already five in the morning when Duanmu returned home. After taking a shower, he contacted the old housekeeper, explained the situation, and put forward his own idea: "I want to shrink the business."

The old housekeeper asked: "Why?"

Duanmu replied: "More and more incidents are out of control."

The old butler said, "We currently have several businesses. The first is the Rangers, which support the smuggling line. The second is the Dome Project, which is our core goal. However, the butler was arrested and the Seven Killers are in hiding, so this plan can only be shelved temporarily in the short term. The third is the Infiltration Plan, which allows some people to participate in politics. The fourth is the special service business, which is not too much and gives us an excuse to raise troops. The fifth is intelligence. A large part of our resources are invested in intelligence, but there is not much intelligence that is directly useful to us."

Duanmu said: "Reduce the intelligence system and collect intelligence in a targeted manner instead of casting a wide net. We can sell the wanderers to Nemo, and let Nemo run the smuggling line. The special forces can transfer materials normally through Nemo. The infiltration plan does not require many people. After all, they are elites and can be retained."

The old butler: "Keep the dome, the secret service and some intelligence departments."

Duanmu: “Yeah.”

The old butler: "It will take some time."

Duanmu asked: "What do you think?"

The old butler smiled and said, "You are the decision maker. I believe you made this decision after careful consideration. However, I support the suggestion of the investigator Yu Ming. You can also take the opportunity to make friends with Luke. You know, there is Lu Jin without Luke, but with different personalities and methods. Since you already know Luke, why let a stranger replace Luke?"

Duanmu: "You think the plan to attack Team One was not Luke's idea."

The old butler replied: "Yes."

Duanmu thought for a while and said, "I'll leave it to you."

"it is good."

Duanmu ended the call with the old housekeeper and picked up the vibrating phone: "Hello."

"He wants to see you."

"Okay." Duanmu hung up the phone, thought for a long time, and called Cui Jian.

Cui Jian answered the phone in his sleep and angrily said, "You are such a troublemaker."

Duanmu: "Accompany me to meet someone."

Cui Jian: “Why?”

Duanmu: "I'm afraid the other party will cheat me."

Cui Jian: "Your people haven't all died yet, right?" He had only slept for two hours and was in a bad mood.

Duanmu said, "They are not available." Baili Xiong had to return to his post in the execution team, and Hailan was injured and needed to rest. He didn't want anyone to know that he was going to see the other party except for his two confidants. Going alone? It was absolutely impossible to go alone.

Cui Jian took a deep breath and asked helplessly: "Now?"

Duanmu looked at the time and said, "I'll pick you up at nine in the morning. It's better to go to the company to get a gun."

Cui Jian asked: "What day is today?"

Duanmu replied: "No. 22."

Cui Jian said: "I want to kill someone, and I need an alibi. For example, I have an exit record, an entry record in the United States, an exit record from the United States, and an entry record back to Hancheng."

Duanmu was stunned: "Is it necessary to be so troublesome? It's just an alibi." He didn't ask who Cui Jian wanted to kill.

Cui Jian didn't care at first, but the boss's sister ruthlessly shocked Cui Jian's soul, and Cui Jian decided to leave a backup plan for himself. Cui Jian replied: "Yes."

Duanmu replied: "No problem. You can tell me the entry and exit time 24 hours in advance and I will take care of it." Fingerprinting at US customs is a problem for most people, even those who are afraid of identity. But for Duanmu, it is not a big deal.

Cui Jian: “Good night.” Then he hung up the phone.

……

The matter of Zhoubao was not disclosed. Li Ran, who was unaware of the situation, leaned against the wall and watched Cui Jian lead his gun. Cui Jian was frightened by the sight and said, "Manager Li, I have a girlfriend."

Li Ran chuckled, took the teacup and turned away.

After coming out of the gun management office, Cui Jianshun turned to the president's office and chatted with the administrative secretary at the door. He learned that Ye Lan had plans today and tomorrow and would not come to the company.

After leaving the company, I got into Duanmu's car. Duanmu kept nagging while driving: "So slow? I asked you to get the gun, not to steal it."

Cui Jian interrupted: "Who are you going to see?"

Duanmu said: "Don't worry about it. Your job today is to stay alive. If I don't have any news in two hours, you can contact Hailan. Of course, with you here, I think my safety will not be a problem."

Cui Jian said: "Aren't you going to post a project?"

Duanmu: "No more hanging up. In view of your recent performance, my captain has decided to grant you the treatment of a Level 5 non-staff member. I will ask the technicians to install an app on your phone later. You can use this app to search for keywords and find a lot of information that has nothing to do with the Nemo Special Forces."

Cui Jian narrowed his eyes: "So you're planning to get something for free today?"

Duanmu was speechless. He reached out to open the central control storage compartment, took out two stacks of US dollars and threw them to Cui Jian.

Cui Jian put away the US dollars and complimented, "Boss, you're so handsome." There is nothing cooler than throwing US dollars at yourself.

Duanmu said: "You don't need this little money."

Cui Jian said: "Money represents attitude. When you visit someone's home for the first time, should you bring some gifts? Do they need your gifts? But is it okay for you to go to their home empty-handed?"

Duanmu: "I thought we knew each other well."

Cui Jian said: "Please don't take advantage of my acquaintances, otherwise I would rather not know you." Taking advantage of acquaintances is very common in modern times, especially on online platforms, where they are extremely flattering to new users and cutting the flesh of old users.

The two chatted intermittently as the car drove into the Mid-Mountain Villa District. Cui Jian said, "Xue Bing lives in the Mid-Mountain Villa District."

Duanmu nodded: "She immigrated to New Zealand two weeks ago, and Li Liang is handling his own business. They have booked a church and will hold their wedding during the Lunar New Year."

Cui Jian said admiringly: "Okay, you know this too." You are really free.

Duanmu was not ashamed, and said: "I also know that because of this matter, the elders of the Li family have come forward. They don't object to Li Liang and Xue Bing getting married, but they are very angry that Li Liang gave up his career and future for a woman. Having said that, Xue Bing has a highly educated temperament, a perfect figure, and is also a mature queen, a rich beauty. If a man really falls into it, it will be difficult to pull his legs out."

Cui Jian thought for a while and said, "It's okay."

Duanmu sneered: "Put yourself in her shoes. What if Ye Lan asked you to resign? Can a three-star bodyguard resist a spoiled child?"

Cui Jian: "There is absolutely no comparison." Is it necessary to act like a spoiled child? Absolutely not.

Duanmu: "So, only your own love is love, and other people's love is stupid." As he spoke, the car drove directly into Xue Bing's small manor of three villas in one. Cui Jian looked left and right, and saw only two bodyguards at the main gate.

Duanmu parked the car in front of Villa No. 1. The two got out of the car. Duanmu said, "Wait for me here." He threw over a box of cigars.

Cui Jian caught the cigar with one hand and watched Duanmu walk into Villa No. 1.

Cui Jian put the cigar in his pocket and wandered around. The two bodyguards at the door seemed more like security guards. They didn't care what Cui Jian was doing at all, and they didn't carry any guns. They just sat on the rocks and chatted and smoked, throwing their cigarette butts on the ground and stomping them out.

Cui Jian walked around for a while and didn't see anyone else. There weren't many dead branches and leaves on the ground, but it was obvious that no one had taken care of them for a long time.

Walking along the central path to the pavilion, Cui Jian saw that the grave of Xue Bing's mother in the yard of Villa No. 2 had been moved, the pit filled in its place, and a clump of crooked green bamboo planted.

Cui Jian approached the two security guards and asked them about it. He learned that the two security guards were real security guards and were affiliated with the Hancheng Security Company. There were six of them in total, and they were hired to guard the gate of the small manor. They didn't know who their boss was, but they only had a social group. The boss would send the license plate number to the group. They would open the door when they saw the license plate number, otherwise they would not open it.

The boss was very generous. After they had worked for two weeks, the boss sent them several rounds of red envelopes. He also sent red envelopes to the group from time to time, between 0 and 5 per day, and the amount of each red envelope was million won.

During this period, an incident occurred. A security guard who had received a big red envelope saw his boss's car leaving. He went up to the driver and greeted him enthusiastically, saying that he wanted to thank his boss in person. As a result, he was fired.

Only then did Cui Jian realize that the security guards' activity area was limited to a small area at the door.

Cui Jian walked to the vicinity of Villa No. 1 and found that the underground garage passage that was originally blocked had been dug through, which explained the inconsistency in the manor.

Duanmu was here to meet someone. Duanmu was the only car in the whole manor. Could the person he was going to meet have come here on foot? As for who Duanmu was going to meet, Cui Jian couldn't guess, and didn't want to guess. However, Cui Jian believed that Duanmu was telling the truth. He asked him to accompany him because he was worried that he would be left behind.

Duanmu walked down the stairs, walked into the cold corridor, came to a security door, looked at the surveillance camera, and pressed the doorbell.

A muscular man wearing a mask walked out of the corner room, glanced at Duanmu through the transparent security door, and reached out to press the door-opening button on the wall. The security door opened, and Duanmu continued to walk forward, passing the bodyguard duty room, and walked about ten meters, and a door appeared on the left. A bodyguard stood by the door, and the bodyguard pushed the door open directly: "Please."

Duanmu asked: "Don't you need to knock on the door?"

The bodyguard replied: “No.”

Duanmu nodded: "The temperature is not high today, and my partner Cui Jian is still waiting for me upstairs, so he shouldn't be frozen, right?"

The bodyguard said expressionlessly, "Please."

Duanmu smiled and walked in.

The first thing that caught my eye was an elegantly decorated office with a desk and a coffee table for guests. The area was not large, only about 20 square meters. There was another door next to the bookshelf behind the desk, and Duanmu went forward and knocked on the door.

After waiting for a while, the door opened from the inside. The person who opened the door was Zhao Ai, who was only wearing a long gauze dress. The light pink dress covered her knees and could not cover her spring scenery at all. In fact, it was no different from being naked.

Duanmu took a step back: "What's the matter? Cui Jian is still waiting for me upstairs. He has an appointment with Li Ran to have lunch together at noon." Damn, he has experienced storms and been shot by bullets, so why is he so cowardly?

Zhao Ai sneered, did not answer, and walked inside. Duanmu cursed in his heart and followed him in.

Zhao Ai said without even turning her head: "Close the door." She sat on the single sofa that was similar to an armchair beside the bed.

The inner room is the bedroom, which is about 50 square meters in size. It has everything a bedroom should have, including the host and hostess. The hostess is sitting on the sofa, drinking a glass of brandy leisurely, and there is a whip on the table beside her.

The man lowered his head and sat on the bed, with the quilt pulled up to his shoulders. He held the quilt tightly with both hands, as if doing so could give him a sense of security.

Duanmu looked around and wanted to pull a chair, but found that the chair was fixed to the floor. Duanmu looked at Zhao Ai: Don’t you want to let me sit?
Zhao Ai gently wiped away the wine that had flowed onto her chest with her left thumb and looked at Duanmu: Does it look good?

The male owner seemed to have just noticed Duanmu. He was extremely excited and crawled directly towards Duanmu: "Duanmu, Duanmu, save me."

Zhao Ai picked up the whip and swung it, wrapping it around the master's neck and dragging him back. Zhao Ai sat at the head of the bed, pressed the master's head on her thighs, and stroked the master's hair lovingly: "Baby, can we just say it here?"

The man rubbed his neck back and forth with his hands, looked at Duanmu and said: "Duanmu, save me, she is a lunatic."

The male owner is naturally Li Jie. The video left by Li Jie is real, but it is a video he recorded in advance under the coaxing of Duanmu and Zhao Ai. Strictly speaking, it is not coaxing. After all, Li Jie has many enemies. When he has to disappear to save his life, it is necessary to shoot a video in advance to arrange the work.

Duanmu sat on a chair that couldn't be moved and comforted him, "It's okay, Li Jie, she just loves you too much."

Zhao Ai's fingers slid down from Li Jie's face. Li Jie wanted to struggle as if he was touched by a poisonous snake, but how could such a weak boy be a match for the killer-level Zhao Ai? Zhao Ai held him firmly in her arms with one hand.

Li Jie relied on Duanmu's presence and shouted angrily, "You XX, let me go."

Zhao Ai looked at Duanmu apologetically: "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you. Since he has nothing to say, please do as you please."

Duanmu stood up immediately: "Goodbye."

Li Jie said anxiously: "Wait, I have something to say."

Li Jie didn't wait for Duanmu to respond and begged, "Duanmu, as long as you get me out, I'll give you as much money as you want."

Duanmu turned around and looked at Li Jie, who was being played with by Zhao Ai like a doll. He thought for a while and asked, "Where is the technology to transform people?"

Li Jie's eyes changed instantly, becoming as shrewd and calculating as usual, and asked, "You want to transform human technology?"

Duanmu sighed and looked at Zhao Ai and said, "Look." A dog will always eat shit. If you give him a little feces, he will immediately reveal his true nature.

Zhao Ai put her face close to Li Jie's: "It doesn't matter, I have a lot of time, he will definitely become an obedient baby."

Li Jie came to his senses a little: "You guys?"

Duanmu said frankly: "I just changed your wife's mind a little bit. Since pleasing you can't be with you, why not control you. Anyway, she just wants to be with you."

Li Jie was stunned for a long time, and asked angrily: "Why did you do this?"

Duanmu asked back: "Why did you go to George?"

Li Jie: "George? Why?" He couldn't quite remember.

Duanmu said: "George used his trusted students as guinea pigs, and he made a breakthrough in the study of human brain nerves. It's a pity that this murderer can only explain the feasibility in theory, but cannot make clinical data public. But you smell the smell of money with this theoretical article."

Duanmu said: "The student he used as a guinea pig was my sister. I have been looking for you for many years. In order to find you, I endured not moving George. I flattered the leader of the Golden Dragon Society and infiltrated into the Rocket through him, and finally found you."

Duanmu asked: "So, where is the technology to transform people?"

Li Jie's brain was obviously not working as well as before, and it took him a while to digest Duanmu's words: "I won't tell you."

"Naughty." Zhao Ai pinched the tip of Duanmu's nose and said to him with a smile: "He will tell you, but it will take time."
