Director Ford was really puzzled, "You still want to hide it from us?"
Qu Jianlei looked at him silently, the meaning in his eyes was obvious: What do you think?
Ford touched his forehead and replied helplessly, "Okay, but you have to give us a name, right?"
Shi Zhu couldn't help it anymore, "Director Ford, what is this guy doing? He has a very loud tone."
When Ford heard this, he became even more concerned, but he still had to answer - the other party would soon know, "Just like you guys."
"Bodyguard?" Shi Zhu became more and more stunned, "Let someone who doesn't know his origin act as a bodyguard?"
I didn't know I would bump into such a person! Ford was also quite speechless.
If he had known that a C-level person with a low-to-medium fee would be so difficult to serve, he would never have provoked him.
But now it's too late to say anything. I can only sigh and reply, "The young master made the decision."
Shi Zhu blinked his eyes, "The young master... is a bit willful this time."
Ford rolled his eyes at him, "It's not for you to comment on what the young master does."
Shi Zhu snorted softly, "How is his reward calculated?"
Ford shook his head, "Shizhu, your question has crossed the line... Who gets paid how much is our own decision."
Shi Zhu's eyes narrowed and he spoke in a sinister voice, "Supervisor, what do you mean by this? His remuneration is not low?"
"That's enough for you," Ford replied with a dark face, "We hired you to be a bodyguard, not to make a financial budget!"
"Hmph," Shi Zhu snorted coldly again, not daring to speak anymore, but gave Qu Jianlei a fierce look.
Qu Jianlei didn't want to argue with him at first, but if he wanted others to help him apply for a temporary residence permit, he couldn't hold back, right?
So he asked expressionlessly, "It sounds like you're a little dissatisfied?"
"More than a little," Shi Zhu stared at him with squinted eyes, "I'm very dissatisfied."
The aura on Qu Jianlei's body fluctuated slightly, rising to level B in an instant, but it quickly calmed down again.
He asked calmly, "Director Ford, is it allowed to kill people here?"
Ford felt the change in his aura and was immediately stunned, "Are you... B-level?"
Shi Zhu also put away his unruly attitude, with a look of surprise on his face. This guy actually hid his cultivation?
He is not very afraid of the opponent, even though the metal attack is the strongest at the same level, but who is more powerful can only be known after fighting.
However, just by looking at this breathing technique, you can tell that the opponent is definitely not a good person.
"I may still be A-level," Qu Jianlei replied expressionlessly, "I just want to ask, are there any consequences for killing people here?"
"Why do you want to kill people?" Ford waved his hand and looked at Shizhu, "We are going to discuss a contract, why don't you step aside first?"
"Okay," Shizhu stood up and went out.
The other party's answer already told him: Since he has hidden his cultivation, the other party may be B level, but he may also be A level.
So there is no need for him to take it seriously. How much a metallic B-grade is worth is not what he should care about.
Qu Jianlei's procedures went through fairly smoothly. He made up a name at random, nicknamed Exploding Arrow.
The daily salary is 10,000 yuan before tax. As for whether to pay tax or not, that is his own business.
The tax inspection in the Skyhook Star Region is relatively strict, but as a short-term bodyguard, you earn a lot of money and only accept cash, so it is basically impossible to pay taxes.
The period is a two-way option, and the minimum guarantee is three days. If it needs to be extended, Qu Jianlei should guarantee that it will last until fifteen days.
However, these matters can be discussed. If Qu Jianlei does have something unexpected, he should inform him three days in advance.
In fact, this agreement can only be regarded as a gentleman's agreement, and the other party cannot even understand his true identity.
However, since both parties have agreed to such an agreement, nothing else matters, it just depends on the implementation.
In addition, during the period of serving as a bodyguard, the employer shall bear the cost of food, accommodation, weapons, ammunition and medical expenses.
Not only did Qu Jianlei not need to use his own guns, even the overclocking shock knife was provided by the other party.
After the contract was signed, Linna drove directly away with Qu Jianlei.
This female transformation warrior is not very talkative, but she still explained the precautions.
It turns out that what Qu Jianlei needs to protect is a tainted witness.
The person who hired him was the Luo family, which had great influence in the Tian Ruixing family.
Of course, a big business inevitably has competitors, and they recently faced a heavyweight lawsuit.
Fortunately, they had an important witness. Now Qu Jianlei's task is to protect the witness.
Lina didn't talk much and was very careful about keeping secrets. She only told the general situation and skipped all the details.
She didn't even say who was justified in this lawsuit and who was not - anyway, just remember to protect witnesses.
However, she still explained some details.
For example, the yard where I was working just now seemed to be a place to protect witnesses, but in fact, the witnesses were somewhere else.
There was an A-class person in the yard just now, but it was just a pretense to attract others to come to save people or silence them.
The real witness is on the outskirts of the city, where the stone pillars protect the place, and the two are heading in this direction.
Qu Jianlei thought for a while, then snorted coldly, "Then do you think this is a bodyguard's job?"
"It should be forgotten," Lina replied in a deep voice, "No matter whether you are protecting a powerful person or a witness, it is all protection work."
"Tch," Qu Jianlei snorted disdainfully, "If this witness is really worthy of protection, would he hire someone with unknown origins like me?"
Co-author: Do you still know that your origins are unknown? Lina snorted disapprovingly.
However, she still explained, "The other party is also an acquaintance. The existing guards of the Luo family may have been infiltrated by the other party..."
"In comparison, although the origins of people hired from outside are unknown, the probability of being bribed is low, so it is still worthwhile."
Qu Jianlei thought about it and then asked, "Is there someone in the Luo family who is colluding with others?"
Lina's expression changed, and even the steering wheel shook, "How do you know?"
Who hasn't watched a palace fight drama? Qu Jianlei snorted disapprovingly, "There are dead branches on big trees. This is normal."
The concept of family in imperial society is indeed very important, but is the family everything?
Lina shook her head helplessly, "I can't give you an answer to this question because it's not convenient for me to say it."
You don’t need to tell me, Qu Jianlei smiled nonchalantly, and then suddenly said, “The life or death of the witness is not important.”
Lina glanced at him through the rearview mirror, "Why do you say that?"
"If you don't care about his life and death, does the young master have to pay a daily salary of 10,000 yuan to hire a master like you?"
I don’t know if the title “master” is meant to be a joke, but the daily salary is definitely high.
Qu Jianlei was unmoved. He simply said, "Don't tell me this!"
"Instead of using our own people, we use a group of people hired from outside as bodyguards."
"I just want to ask, is it more important to protect witnesses or kill intruders...which one comes first?"
Lina hesitated for a moment, then answered slowly, "Of course it's to kill the intruders."
"Yeah," Qu Jianlei snorted, "So we can only be regarded as thugs."
He had always thought that this bodyguard mission was weird, but now he understood that killing the opponent was the ultimate goal.
In a battle between two camps, killing key figures is certainly effective, but destroying viable forces is more important.
Of course, the other party may also hire experts from outside, but doesn’t that also cost money?
Therefore, it is correct to say that war is a continuation of politics and economy.
Smooth out, penetrate, and overdraw the opponent's foundation bit by bit... Isn't it natural to win?
"Still a bodyguard, protecting witnesses comes first," Lina looked at him in the rearview mirror again, "You are so smart."
"Got it," Qu Jianlei nodded, the witness was the bait.
Killing the enemy is important, but protecting the bait is also important. If you can't protect the bait, how can someone die?
The place where the hostages are protected is more than 40 kilometers away from the city, and the car drove for more than an hour.
This is an abandoned factory area. On mature and habitable stars, this situation is not uncommon - it's just an industrial transfer.
The factory area is almost 100,000 square meters in size, with ruins everywhere, and only a few thousand square meters of office area is still intact.
However, if anyone really looks carefully, they will find that the abandoned factory building is covered with surveillance cameras and alarms.
Qu Jianlei could sense that there was a lot of heavy firepower hidden in the ruins. Once the fighting started, just take off the disguise.
This is a trap full of death.
Qu Jianlei somewhat understood why Ford hired people outside at will.
Ford hoped from the bottom of his heart that this news would get out. It would be so depressing that no one would step on such a perfect trap.
As for the small courtyard in the afternoon being a cover, this is the real place where witnesses are hidden...that is the game within the game.
Just like when Ford came to discuss business with him, who would have thought that before that, the intermediary's inquiries were also routine?
Why did the Luo family choose the real battlefield here? The reason is also very simple - only the suburbs can easily use heavy firepower.
The small courtyard in the afternoon was also heavily guarded, and there was an A-level one, but it was an urban area after all, and it was not convenient to use heavy firepower.
So even if there is an A-level there, it is just a cover, the real trump card is in the suburbs!
Before entering the factory, Linna took out her mobile phone and called, saying that she was here to see someone off.
The SUV arrived at the office area smoothly, and Linna took Qu Jianlei into the building.
There are already two B-level warriors waiting, one is a stone pillar and the other is a wood attribute.
"Ren," Linna greeted the wood attribute, "This is an explosive arrow. It is very powerful. You can make arrangements for it."
Ren nodded, not looking very good at words.
After Linna left, Renn took him to get a combat uniform, weapons and ammunition, as well as a backpack of nutrients and water.
Then he asked, "What are hot weapons good at?"
"Sniper," Qu Jianlei answered without hesitation.
In fact, he is also good at precise fire suppression, but in that case, he loses mobility and is prone to attracting hatred.
