Chapter 385 Rubber Bullets
Cui Jian came to Xifeng Mountain to talk about Yue Tu. After talking about it, he ate and drank enough and drove home. Before he got home, he received a call from Duanmu: "Old Li asked us to come over."

Cui Jian looked at his phone: "It's eleven o'clock at night."

Duanmu said: "That's what I said. His answer was: Thank you, I understand."

Cui Jian asked, "Do you know what happened?"

Duanmu replied: "It should be related to the League Cup. Old Li has been busy with this matter recently. It seems that your girlfriend has put a lot of pressure on him."

Cui Jian said: "League Cup? Then I won't go. You can represent me."

Duanmu said: "I'm afraid not. Not only us, but also the Zhendiu team who just returned from abroad will go." This is also the reason why the meeting was held so late.

Cui Jian said: "Okay."

Duanmu: "Come and pick me up."

Cui Jian: “Okay.”

Driving to Duanmu's villa, Duanmu felt the heat before getting in the car, touched the hood, got in the car and asked, "Where did you go?" Their two homes were more than one kilometer apart, and Cui Jian had no habit of warming up the car, so the hood should be cold.

Cui Jian: "It's none of your business."

Duanmu snorted and said, "If you don't tell me, I don't want to know."

……

When Cui Jian first saw Youcun in the conference room, he already had his hand on the gun. Li Ran was an old hand, and he saw Cui Jian's actions clearly, but he did not stop him, saying, "I won't introduce you to those you have met before."

Cui Jian walked to the seat, but did not sit down. He pulled out his pistol and played with it, looking at 03 and asked: "Youcun, I'm curious, you came to Hancheng like this, why do you think I won't kill you?"

The participants were silent, and Diudiu asked: "Shall I treat everyone to a midnight snack?" to give Cui Jian some room to kill.

03 actually understood Korean and said, "Wait a minute. Cui Jian, why do you want to kill me?"

Cui Jian said: "Your vest fell off."

03 laughed: "The incident with Zhou Bao?"

Cui Jian said: "To be precise, it's about your confidante's death in my hands."

03 said: "Why do you care about something I don't care about? I'm here to discuss cooperation."

Cui Jian apologized, "I'm sorry, I'd rather kill someone by mistake than let him go."

Li Ran tried to mediate, "Youcun has a pair of children, a son who is fourteen years old and a daughter who is twelve years old."

Cui Jian put away his gun and sat down: "I was just joking with Youcun. Everyone, please take a seat. Manager Li, you called us here so late, are you treating us to a midnight snack?"

03I am very sorry that the pair of children whom I didn't care much about before have become my golden ticket to avoid death. Of course, he didn't simply think that Cui Jian was afraid that his children would be fatherless.

Li Ran introduced 03's situation and started with a bombshell: "Youcun used to work for the CIA, codenamed Ghost 03."

Cui Jian was quite shocked and asked with a smile: "You don't even want the vest anymore?"

03 Sigh: "Life is hard."

Li Ran quickly interrupted and said, "Youcun hopes to join Dayin Security for a short period of time and contribute to the League Cup. What do you two captains think?"

Duanmu Kan03: "You gambled again?"

03 Question: "Why do you say again?"

Duanmu said: "You forgot, I am from the Special Service Knights."

03 laughed and admitted, "Yes, I gambled again."

Duanmu said: "Manager Li, then let's join our team." 03 has a surplus value, he knows the secrets of many big shots. In addition, Duanmu also knows that Luke is 03's boss. The reason why 03 can retire should be that he has completed the task, or Luke thinks he is too old.

Looking at 03 again, he no longer looks like the cold-blooded killer who was once so powerful. He looks just like a middle-aged, unemployed and down-and-out uncle.

Li Ran said: "Okay, then you can communicate privately, and the meeting is adjourned."

Diudiu: “What, what do you mean?” I just came back from abroad and I haven’t adjusted to the jet lag yet. I came to the meeting in the middle of the night and didn’t speak a single line the whole time.

Li Ran said, "I didn't expect it to be so smooth. Okay, let's continue the conversation. As the captain of the five-member League Cup team, what are your plans?"

Diudiu replied: "You are the manager, you decide."

Li Ran: "The manager manages the captain, and the captain manages the team members."

Duanmu interrupted and said, "I can recommend a candidate."

Diudiu asked: “Who?”

Duanmu: "Golden Eagle. After the Plum Blossom Island tragedy..."

03 interrupted and asked: "Which tragedy?"

Duanmu said: "After the second tragedy on Meihua Island, the security director Jin Ying lost his job and was fired by Li Jie. I think we can try to contact him."

Li Ran: “Any reason?”

Duanmu knew what Li Ran meant and said, "Many big-name chefs have their own teams, so they can contract an entire hotel catering department. It is difficult for a lone wolf chef to enter the circle, no matter how good his skills are. Jinying is a lone wolf. He has been a leader, but his relationship with his subordinates and colleagues is average. Whether it is the Ye family, the Li family or the Lin family, they all have their own bodyguard team and have formed their own system. It is difficult for him to be parachuted in directly to become a senior executive. Unless you, like Manager Li, apply for a high-paying management position. It's just that Jinying has the ability to lead a team and command, but lacks management ability."

Duanmu finally said: "I think he should be more suitable for the Diujie team."

Li Ran looked at Diudiu, who nodded: "We can meet, but if it's just a game, forget it. I'm not interested in winning or losing."

Cui Jian raised his fist, Diudiu also raised his fist, and the two bumped fists in the air, indicating that Cui Jian was not interested in winning or losing.

Li Ran pretended not to see it and said, "Okay, I'll contact Jin Ying and meet with him tomorrow. Even so, your two teams are still short of one person each. Both captains are capable people and have many friends. You can make the arrangements yourself."

Cui Jian opened his mouth to speak, but Li Ran looked at Cui Jian and took the initiative: "Boss Ye attaches great importance to this competition."

Cui Jian turned to look at Duanmu: "Hai Lan is fine." He wanted to say, since there are not enough people, we can just form a team. But since my dear sister takes it very seriously, I feel embarrassed to spoil it.

Duanmu despised such people and asked, "Manager Li, what model?"

"Model?" Li Ran asked back, then understood what Duanmu meant and said, "J Technology Company's new rubber bullets."

Diudiu said, "It is said that it hurts a lot." Traditional rubber bullets do not use gunpowder, have poor accuracy, and are not suitable for practice. Laser sensing is out of the common sense of firearms physics and is not popular with professional teams. The new rubber bullets mentioned by Li Ran are products developed by J Company, a subsidiary of Li Jie. Simply put, the new rubber bullets are made by replacing the metal bullet head with rubber, and are currently only used in simulated pistol shooting. Its range is shorter than that of ordinary pistols and its accuracy is lower, but it is enough for professional teams to practice. However, because this rubber bullet has a certain degree of lethality and is out of the original function of rubber bullets, it is almost impossible to sell.

Later, a game company launched a sensor suit specially designed for the new rubber bullets, which could provide feedback to the system on which part of the player was hit. It was very popular at first, but then a drawback emerged: pain. Although it can provide protection for important parts, non-important parts also have pain nerves. After a game, both sides were covered in bruises and some even needed hospitalization.

The new rubber bullets seem to be very suitable for the League Cup because they can really scare opponents.

Duanmu suggested: "Shall we go to the training ground tomorrow to watch Tokyo colleagues in action?"

Everyone agreed: "It should be."

Li Ran smiled. He knew what they were thinking. They just wanted to see the power of the new rubber bullets. In fact, he was also quite curious. So he said, "Let's meet together tomorrow morning."

……

The training course for Tokyo Security Team 1 and Team 3 today is a confrontation, using a batch of sensor suits and equipment that Dayin Security Company just received.

The equipment is very complete, with elbow pads, knee pads, full-face lightweight helmets, and even protective covers on the backs of hands and feet. According to the dress code, you must wear a bulletproof vest to protect your chest from injury. Then put on a full set of induction suits, and finally a suit and trousers.

Tokyo Security expressed their deep gratitude to Oogin Security for their generosity, and both teams bowed to thank Oogin Security together.

The confrontation was divided into two rounds, one team attacking and one team defending. The location was the hotel training ground. Team one protected the VIP retreating from the ninth floor, and team three intercepted team one.

Yiyi put the surveillance and each sensor suit on more than a dozen large screens in the headquarters on the first floor. As Yiyi finished the second inspection, Li Ran took the intercom and said, "Start."

The three teams split into two groups, abandoning the main entrance of the hotel, leaving one person to lurk in the lobby, and the other four went up the two stairs on the left and right. Cui Jian and his men didn't care much about these, they were more concerned about the battle.

A few minutes later, the vanguard of team one ran into the assassins of team three, and the two sides started fighting in the corridor.

As soon as the battle started, the people on the scene found that they had no strong concept of tactics. The stairs were not very wide, so Cui Jian and his men would walk along the wall to maximize their vision, while the Tokyo Security Company would walk in the middle, so that they could dodge left or right.

From what they said, they can choose to dodge left or right after the opponent fires a shot.

In this situation, it was two against two, and casualties occurred immediately. After seven shots, one person from each team was shot. The two screamed together. The member of the first team who was shot in the calf was still able to jump and hold on, while the member of the third team who was shot in the thigh wanted to hold on, but he couldn't hold on and sat on the ground.

At the same time, the screen at headquarters showed where the two were shot. During the laser drill, the referee team needed to notify: Your left foot was shot, you can no longer use your left foot. Now it is not necessary. The team member who was shot in the calf could not walk normally for a long time, and the team member who was shot in the thigh was lying on the ground rubbing his thigh back and forth.

Li Ran called a halt and took the company's doctor and everyone to the scene. The first person to be examined was a member of the first team, who had a thumb-sized purple skin and a swelling. After a three-minute rest, it basically did not hinder subsequent operations.

The team member who was shot in the thigh was in a miserable state. The color of the bullet site was very dark, and the blood vessels in the skin around the bullet site ruptured, causing regional hematoma. Overall, the bullet site was dark purple, and the small circle of skin around the bullet site seemed to have not changed. The outer circle had an irregular purple skin the size of an adult male's palm.

After the examination, the doctor said: "The subcutaneous bleeding is severe. I suggest that you strengthen the protection of the lower body."

The lightly injured team member said with a smile: "I'm already wearing metal shorts, how can I improve my protection?"

Cui Jiandao: "Wear long johns."

The team member who was more seriously injured was in a miserable state, with his body temporarily disabled. He babbled a little, "I'd rather it was a real bullet." After all, it was the inner thigh where the flesh was soft and it was particularly painful.

The doctor sprayed the painkiller and said, "Manager Li, this is indeed a serious situation. I do not recommend using this bullet in the game."

Li Ran said, "Wouldn't it be okay if you didn't get shot?"

Everyone looked at Li Ran with admiration: Of course you can make sarcastic remarks if you don’t participate.

After seeing the injuries of the seriously injured team members, no one at the scene wanted to be shot.

The team members were sent to the hospital for examination. The lightly injured team members were not seriously injured and were given some external compresses, which would heal them in two or three days. The more seriously injured team members were not seriously injured, but it would take about five days to heal, and the skin could not be rubbed, so they could only cut a big hole in their pants and fix the hole.

The doctor warned that if he participated in training again and was hit by a bullet in the same area, it might cause more serious bleeding.

The team member asked: Will I die?
Doctor: You won’t die. At most you’ll have to have your limbs amputated.

Cui Jian: I don’t want to participate anymore. Butler, you have to remember the favor. I violated the principle of not doing things I don’t like, in order to give you a peaceful second half of your life.

Lunch was a bit dull. We thought the competition was just a game and no one would die. It was true that no one would die, but when we thought about how our bodies had been hit, we felt that it was okay to admit defeat.

Li Ran did bring good news to everyone. The organizing committee received photos of the wounded and was considering canceling the use of rubber bullets with a range of 80 meters and using rubber bullets with a range of 50 meters instead.

Cui Jian asked: "Didn't you ask the organizing committee to shoot each other twice?"

Li Ran ignored Cui Jian as usual and said, "The champion will get one month's paid vacation for both teams, with a daily subsidy of 10 US dollars. The runner-up will get half a month's paid vacation, with a daily subsidy of 7 US dollars. The third place will get one week's paid vacation, with a daily subsidy of 5 US dollars. The top three can sign an additional labor contract, and can receive a certain amount of additional compensation after working for one year. Champion: US dollars. Runner-up: US dollars. Third place: US dollars."

Zhang Hao looked at Gui Yi beside him and said, "Wife, we can get married now."

Gui Yi nodded repeatedly: "Yes." As long as you get into the top three, you will have vacation and money. Pain is temporary, the future is bright. Children are angels, and family is a paradise.

Li Ran took the opportunity to say, "We still have 8 days of training time. I suggest..."

Cui Jian interrupted immediately: "I need to take care of my stomach in the next few days, so as not to be unable to go to Germany to compete due to stomach discomfort."

Threat, this is a threat without clothes. If you dare to make me do live ammunition training, I will have a stomachache.

Li Ran gritted his teeth: "Okay, leave is granted."

Duanmu took the opportunity to say, "I have to take care of Cui Jian in the next few days so that he won't be unable to go to Germany to compete."

Li Ran was stunned immediately. It was the first time he heard such a shameless reason for asking for leave.

Everyone asked for leave, and Li Ran was overwhelmed. He looked at 03 who was watching the fun. 03 spread his hands and said, "I don't need to take leave, but I'm the only one, and there's no one to practice with."

Duanmu comforted Li Ran and said, "We don't know what game level Lazy Dog will come up with. The team has already run-in very smoothly, so there is no need for special training."

Cui Jian's persuasion was simple and crude. He said, "We Asians have always been known for our toughness. Even we don't have special training, so it's even more impossible for foreigners to do so."

"Yes, yes, yes." Everyone agreed.

Li Ran closed his eyes and nodded: "Okay, okay, okay, don't say anything, let's leave it at that. But you two captains, even if you're just making up the numbers, you have to find five people for me. Diudiu, I've made an appointment with Golden Eagle for afternoon tea at three o'clock in the afternoon."

Diudiu nodded: "I will convince him."

Cui Jian asked: "What if they don't agree?"

Diudiu said, "If reasoning doesn't work, I'll use force to convince them. If you waste my time, I'll beat you up anyway."

Cui Jian was convinced: "Call Duanmu if you need anything."

Duanmu: Why me?
Cui Jian: I need to regulate my stomach, so I don’t have time.
