A plane marked China Airlines landed steadily on the runway, and soon a short, unattractive young Chinese came to the customs. The customs staff responsible for inspecting passports looked at the black-haired young man in front of him with contempt and said indifferently: "Liu Jian? This is your first time in Paris?"
The young man named Liu Jian nodded: "Yes."
"What's the purpose of coming here?"
Liu Jian frowned slightly: "What do you mean?"
The staff member said angrily: "I'm just asking if you are traveling or on official business, you bumpkin."
Liu Jian was not angry and said calmly: "Travel."
The staff member curled his lips, stamped his passport, and let Liu Jian go.
Two hours later, Liu Jian stood at the entrance of a very backward and dirty alley. On both sides of the dirty alley, there were women wearing simple clothes. Although he kept flirting with the men passing by, his eyes were full of expressions. They were all filled with numbness, as if they were dead.
Liu Jian ignored the seductions of these women and walked deeper into the alley with an expressionless face. Finally, when he passed by a Chinese grocery store, he saw a porcelain vase with orchids in the window. He stopped and took the photo from his arms. The photo showed the exact same porcelain vase.
Liu Jian looked around and walked into the grocery store. The dark shop was very deserted. There were only two elderly Chinese in the back, talking in Chinese.
Liu Jian didn't say anything and put the suitcase directly on the table. A tall, gray-haired old man looked back at Liu Jian, the corners of his eyes twitched slightly, and said to the other person: "Okay, you can leave."
This tall old man looked very majestic. The other old man nodded immediately, turned around and left quickly.
After the other party left, the old man walked slowly to Liu Jianjian and said in a deep voice: "How long do you need to stay this time?"
Liu Jian opened a secret compartment from the bottom of the suitcase, pulled out a pistol from it, loaded it slowly and quietly, and replied in a low voice: "Don't worry, it will be soon."
The old man nodded: "It's best this way. Paris is in chaos right now. Finish the task and go home early."
Liu Jian glanced at the old man: "How should I call you?"
"They all call me Uncle Li," the old man sighed, "You must be hungry. I'll get you a bowl of noodles."
Even though Uncle Li's hair was already gray, his hands and feet were still very nimble. He quickly ordered two bowls of noodles, one bowl was handed to Liu Jian, and the other bowl was carried into the back room. Liu Jian glanced at the back room curiously, but he didn't ask any more questions. For him, completing the task was the most important, and everything else was secondary.

Maiko Schleiden sat on his boss's chair, looking at Frank who was pointing the gun at him without fear, and sneered: "Look who is here, isn't this a principled taxi driver?"
"And the beautiful and charming woman you kidnapped!"
Lai Danni rushed forward, punched Maikou hard, and then pulled out the pistol from his waist.
Mai spat with bloody spit and looked at Frank with disdain: "What? The taxi driver is taking orders from a bitch now?"
"Shut up," Frank said coldly, "Why do you want to blow me up?"
"Do you still remember what you once told me, the three principles you insist on?" Maikou clapped his fingers and said with a smile, "First, the contract cannot be changed after it is concluded; second, you cannot ask the other party's name; third, you cannot Check the consignment.”
He pointed at Frank: "So, courier master, do you know that you violated that principle? You opened the package halfway, right?"
Frank's expression darkened and he said nothing.
Indeed, after he accepted the consignment, he was worried that Lai Danni in the package was thirsty and dehydrated on the way, so he opened the package privately and fed her some water.
Although Frank knew that what Maikou said was purely an excuse, even if he had not opened the package, he would still kill him to silence him, but after all, he violated the principles he had set, so Frank didn't know what to say for a while.
Seeing Frank's hesitation, Lai Danni felt anxious. She hurriedly pointed her gun at Mai's mouth and shouted, "Tell me, where are you hiding those people who smuggled in?"
Maikou looked at Lai Danni without fear: "I don't understand what you are talking about."
Frank also frowned: "Smuggling?"
Maikou laughed loudly: "It turns out you don't know anything."
Lai Danni said nervously: "Frank, I told you that I didn't find out something important. Now I have to ask, otherwise those people will die."
Maikou said with a smile: "Listen, courier expert, this woman has been lying to you and using you."
"Shut up." Lai Danni put the gun against Maikou's head and gritted her teeth, "I'll count to three. If you don't tell me, I'll shoot. Three... two..."
"One!" Maikou laughed contemptuously, "Shoot, little girl, if you really have the guts, just shoot!"
Lai Danni's hands were shaking violently. Although her finger was already on the trigger, she couldn't pull it no matter what.
At this time, the office door was knocked open, and a group of big men with bruises and swollen faces poured in from the outside holding guns of different lengths. Lai Dani quickly shouted: "Don't move. If any of you dare to move, I will shoot him."
Maikou said disdainfully: "It doesn't matter, she doesn't dare to kill me."
"what about me?"
Frank suddenly raised his gun and pointed it at Mai's mouth.
Maikou's expression changed and he said coldly: "Express delivery expert, do you really want to drag yourself into this muddy water?"
"Okay, okay, we're all a family. Why are we so tense? Put down your guns."
A fat black-haired man in a suit squeezed out of the crowd, smiled at Lai Danni, and opened his arms: "My good daughter, are you having fun in Paris?"
"Dad, do you still remember that you have a daughter like me?" Lai Danni shouted at the fat white man, "Do you know how they treated me? They almost killed me!"
"Oh, don't worry, my dear, they won't hurt you." Fatty Bai smiled, "Everything they did was under my instructions. After the business is over, they will let you go. You You can freely travel around Europe as you please.”
"You..." Lai Dani widened her eyes and said in disbelief, "You have killed so many people, and even your mother. Now you want to kill me too?"
"Shut up, you are not allowed to talk to me like that." Fatty Bai suddenly yelled, "Those people can only blame themselves for not being tough enough. What does it have to do with me? What I do is just business, just business, do you understand? "
He was not afraid of the guns in the hands of Lai Danni and Frank. He strode forward, his finger almost touched Lai Dani's nose, and said sternly: "Look at you, you are covered in famous brands from head to toe, you eat big meals, live in a mansion, and drive a sports car. With all this money, How did it come about? It’s not your father and I earned it from business! But what about you? Not only do you not want to share my father’s worries, but you also want to mess up the business and want our whole family to die without a burial place? "
Lai Danni's eyes turned red and she said tremblingly: "What about mother? She has sacrificed so much for you and the family, why do you still want to kill her?"
Fatty Bai sighed and said softly: "I've explained to you many times that your mother was just an accident. Don't you still believe me, dad?"
As he spoke, he reached out and placed his hand on the gun in Lai Danni's hand, and with a little force, he snatched the gun away.
