Lei Hu briefly introduced the four veterans to Xia Ruofei. Two of the four had retired last year, while the other two had just retired. They belonged to the same combat group when they were in the army, so there was no problem with their tacit understanding.
Most importantly, they were comrades in the same company as Lei Hu. Lei Hu knew them well, so their reliability was guaranteed.
After the introduction, Lei Hu lowered his voice and said, "Brother Xia, there are actually a lot of suitable candidates for this batch of newly recruited veterans. The reason why I chose the four of them, besides their tacit understanding, is also because of a more important reason."
"Oh? Tell me about it, "Xia Ruofei said with interest.
Lei Hu said, "Relatively speaking, their family situations are more difficult. Xu Yougang's parents are both medicated, and his wife's health is not very good. The whole family depends on him to earn money to support the family. Zeng Liang was cheated after he retired from the army. Not only did he lose his retirement funds, but he also owed a debt of more than 200,000 yuan. The other two are in a similar situation …"
Speaking of this, Lei Hu said, "I feel that their family's situation is very difficult. Since you are willing to pay such a high reward, even if there is an accident, they will definitely not betray you just for this money!"
Xia Ruofei nodded and said, "Yes, you are very thoughtful! Huzi, I can't see it! You're also quite good at management! It seems that just being in charge of security is a bit of a waste of your talent! "
Lei Hu quickly waved his hand and said, "Brother Xia, don't make fun of me! My highest position in the army is the squad leader. Now I am in charge of hundreds of people, and I am already at the level of a company commander! How would I dare to say that it is a waste of my talent? "
Xia Ruofei couldn't help but laugh and said, "How can this be compared to the army! Huzi, do a good job! In the future, even if you are only in charge of security, our team will grow bigger and bigger. Now I have a lot of businesses overseas, and it is possible that I will be permanently stationed overseas. But you should learn more when you have time. Not only management, but also foreign languages. These are all necessary skills in the future! "
Lei Hu said, "I know, Brother Xia!"
Then he asked, "Then I'll call them in!"
Xia Ruofei nodded.
Soon, Xu Yougang and the other veterans returned to Xia Ruofei's office cautiously.
Lei Hu formally introduced him to Xia Ruofei.
When Xu Yougang was in the army, he was their squad leader. He and Zeng Liang both retired last year. The other two were called Wang Chong and Zhang Aijun. When they were in the army, they were also good soldiers. However, because of the limited number of senior officers, they could only retire after a certain number of years of service.
Xia Ruofei kindly nodded and said with a smile, "Take a seat!"
Lei Hu then said to Xia Ruofei, "Boss Xia, if there's nothing else, I'll head back first! If you have any tasks, you can just instruct the four of them! "
Xia Ruofei knew that Lei Hu was trying to avoid arousing suspicion. Since he was not going to participate in this matter, he might as well not listen. This was also a very cautious approach. Xia Ruofei's impression of him improved a little.
Xia Ruofei smiled and nodded. "Okay! Huzi, you've worked hard … "
Before Lei Hu left, he turned his gaze to the four veterans and said seriously, "Old Xu, Ceng Liang, Wang Chong, and Aijun, back in the village, we were all good comrades and brothers. However, now that we have all retired from the army, and this matter is a little special, I might not be too pleasant to hear, but I still have to make things clear..."
Xu Yougang looked at Lei Hu and said, "Squad Leader Lei, please speak!"
Lei Hu's eyes were sharp as he said, "Boss Xia is my benefactor, and he paid such a high reward for this matter. I recommended you guys, so I have to be responsible for my recommendation. I'll say the ugly words first, if this matter fails, I hope that you guys can act more like men. Boss Xia also said that even if any of you get trapped in the squad room, he will not let you guys have any worries. If any of you are a coward and bite Boss Xia out, then don't blame me for not taking our friendship into account. Even if you run to the ends of the earth, I will definitely chase after you and cripple you! "
Xu Yougang frowned and said, "Squad Leader Lei, you don't know what kind of person I am. And Zeng Liang and the others, are any of them cowards? There's no need for you to say such harsh words! "
Lei Hu snorted and said, "You can understand or blame me, but I have to remind you guys! As long as you do your best for Boss Xia, he definitely won't treat you badly! Look at the comrades who joined the company with me, they've all made a name for themselves. If this matter is handled well, you guys definitely won't be worse than them! "
Xia Ruofei laughed and said, "Huzi, we're all comrades, why are you saying such hurtful words? Alright, alright, if you have something to do, go do it! "
Lei Hu immediately said, "Yes, Boss Xia!"
After Lei Hu left the office, Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "Lei Hu's words aren't very nice, don't take it to heart!"
Xu Yougang quickly said, "Boss Xia, we've been in the same company with Squad Leader Lei for many years, and we know each other very well. He's doing this out of loyalty to you, so we understand!"
Zeng Liang, who was the same age as Xu Yougang, also said, "Boss Xia, understanding is one thing, but Old Lei underestimated us this time. Although we've already left the military, we won't lose our basic loyalty no matter what. Since we've promised Boss Xia and you've given us such a generous reward, we'll sell our four lives to you! "
Xia Ruofei smiled and waved his hand and said, "Not at all! Not at all! I'm very confident in all of you! Come, come, come, I'll tell you the details of this mission … "
Xia Ruofei's spiritual power was already at the next level, and his insight was also many times sharper than the average person's. If Xu Yougang and the others really had ulterior motives, it would be very difficult for them to escape Xia Ruofei's eyes. If they really encountered an accident, Xia Ruofei naturally couldn't be sure how they would react, but at least when they said this, they did mean it.
Xia Ruofei said, "When you were in the army, did you learn how to track and monitor? How about searching for evidence? "
Xu Yougang said without hesitation, "These are all compulsory subjects for the special forces. The four of us have no problem at all!"
Xia Ruofei nodded and said, "Very good. Your mission is actually not complicated. You just have to track and monitor a person. I need to know his daily itinerary, who he meets, where he stays, in short, everything about him. The more detailed, the better!"
"That's similar to the work of a private detective!" Xu Yougang said with a smile. "Boss Xia, I'm not afraid that you'll laugh at me, but the few of us once wanted to start a detective studio, but first, we didn't have a source of customers, and second, we didn't have the capital, so we could only dream about it …"
Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "That's about right, but I don't feel at ease looking for a private detective outside. My own people are more reliable!"
Xu Yougang said, "Boss Xia trusts us so much, we definitely won't let you down!"
Then he asked, "Boss Xia, is there any specific key information to collect? Also, are there any requirements, such as photos, videos, and the like? "
Xia Ruofei pondered for a moment and said, "You can focus on the personal life and style of the person you're tracking. Of course, you can also look into the integrity of the person you're tracking, but I think the possibility of obtaining useful information in this area is not high."
People like Liu Haojun, who came from big families, might have problems in many areas, and their abilities were also very average. However, when it came to money, most people were relatively clean because their families would give them enough money. They didn't need this kind of gray income, and there was no need for them to risk their political future.
Xia Ruofei paused and continued, "As for the type of information, naturally, the more detailed, the better. The clearer the photos and videos, the better. In short, this is up to you to grasp!"
"Understood!" Xu Yougang replied straightforwardly.
Xia Ruofei looked around at the four of them and then said, "I will pay each of you 100,000 yuan first. After the work is done, the rest of the money will be immediately transferred to your account. If the work is done beautifully, there will be an additional bonus!"
Xu Yougang hurriedly said, "Boss Xia, it's better to pay after the work is done!"
Xu Yougang was the squad leader of Zeng Liang and the others in the army, so the three of them vaguely regarded Xu Yougang as their leader. The main thing was that Xu Yougang was communicating with Xia Ruofei, while the three of them just listened quietly.
Xia Ruofei waved his hand and said, "I heard from Lei Hu that your families are in a bit of trouble. The reason I'm paying you a portion of the money is to help you solve your urgent needs. I don't want you to be distracted by money when you're working. This matter is settled. In a while, each of you will give me your account numbers. The money will be transferred to your account today! "
"Then … then thank you, Boss Xia!" Xu Yougang said.
They were indeed very short of money, so Xu Yougang didn't reject Xia Ruofei's good intentions. He just secretly made up his mind to do the work beautifully and not let Xia Ruofei down.
In fact, Xia Ruofei wasn't worried that Xu Yougang and the others would abscond with the money. First of all, 400,000 yuan was nothing to Xia Ruofei. Even if he lost it, it wouldn't be a big deal. Second of all, if Xu Yougang and the others really took his money, as long as Xia Ruofei really wanted to find them, they probably wouldn't be able to escape.
Xia Ruofei looked at Xu Yougang and the others, who looked touched, and said calmly, "Next, I'll tell you the specific information of the people to follow and monitor. Before that, you still have a chance to back out …"
Xu Yougang looked at Zeng Liang and the others. The four of them exchanged glances, then Xu Yougang said decisively, "Boss Xia, we'll accept this mission! Just give us the instructions! "
Xia Ruofei nodded and said, "Okay, the person I need you to follow and monitor is called Liu Haojun. He's the deputy secretary of Changping County. At the same time, his family has a lot of power in Beijing. Once this matter is exposed, the consequences may be very serious!"
As Xia Ruofei spoke, he was paying attention to the expressions of Xu Yougang and the others. When he said Liu Haojun's identity, Xu Yougang and the others' expressions changed slightly, but they quickly returned to normal.
Obviously, Liu Haojun's identity made them a little afraid, but their psychological endurance still exceeded Xia Ruofei's expectations. They quickly adjusted.
"No problem!" Xu Yougang said, "I promise to complete the mission!"
Xia Ruofei nodded and said, "Okay! After this matter is done, you will work by my side! Lastly, I need to remind you that after today's matter, I will never admit to saying what I said. If you are caught in the process of following and monitoring Liu Haojun, I will pretend that I didn't know anything. However, I will definitely honor the million-yuan reward and the promise to take care of your family! "
"Understood!" Xu Yougang said seriously, "If anything happens, we brothers will take responsibility for it. Even if we die, we won't rat you out, Boss Xia!"
Zeng Liang, Wang Chong, and Zhang Aijun also expressed their opinions.
Xia Ruofei nodded with satisfaction and asked, "Lastly, is there anything else you need?"
Xu Yougang said, "Boss Xia, we need at least two cars and a sum of money to buy equipment …"
"I'll give you a sum of money. You can solve the problem of the cars yourselves. As for the equipment … do you have your own purchasing channels?" Xia Ruofei asked.
"No problem!" Xu Yougang said, "We are very familiar with tracking and monitoring equipment in the army. We also know a few underground channels, so we should be able to buy them quickly. The cars are even simpler. We can buy two inconspicuous second-hand cars from the second-hand market, modify them to a certain extent, and put on two fake license plates. It will be very safe!"
Xia Ruofei nodded and said, "A problem that can be solved with money is not a big problem! How much do you need? "
Xu Yougang quickly calculated in his mind and said, "Boss Xia, if we want to work normally, we might need at least two million or so. The main thing is that some professional equipment is more expensive …"
"I'll give you three million!" Xia Ruofei waved his hand and said, "Don't save money on equipment. If you want to buy, buy the best … Oh right, is three million enough? If not, I can add more! "
Xu Yougang quickly said excitedly, "Enough! Enough! We can already buy the best equipment! "
If he wanted to buy a complete set of top private detective equipment, three million might not be enough. However, if it was just the equipment needed for this mission, this money would definitely be enough. Moreover, he could buy very good equipment, including the wireless transmission equipment that he had always wanted but didn't have the money to buy.
Xia Ruofei nodded and said, "This money will also be transferred to your accounts. I hope you can start work as soon as possible!"
Xu Yougang said, "We will split up and prepare. At most three days … No! Two days, we can start work! "
