Chapter 730: Chapter 327: VIP Protection_2

Gu Ji gazed at the three people standing opposite him.

The one standing in front was of average height, with a retro slicked-back hairstyle, fair skin, and wearing gold-rimmed glasses, his smile genial.

Wu Bin, the accompanying secretary of the Puli Delegation.

As for the two people behind him, both were tall and brawny, with buzz cuts, large knuckles, and fists covered in calluses, clearly indicating years of combat training, both responsible for security.

"Mr. Wu, I am Gu Ji, and these are our team members. We will be responsible for your safety in the days to come!"

"Oh! Mr. Gu, you’ve done your homework quite well. With you, our leaders can rest assured and focus on their work. Here, let me carry those for you!"

Though Wu Bin seemed slightly slick, his speech and actions made people feel at ease. No wonder he could be a secretary.

Everyone followed him into the elevator up to the 16th floor, along the corridor to the innermost corner.

"Knock knock! Boss, it’s me, the officers sent by the embassy to protect us have arrived!"

"Click!"

The door opened, revealing a dark, rugged face.

This man looked slightly older than Gu Ji. From the trapezius on both sides of his neck and the proportion between his waist and legs, it was clear he was a trained fighter, just shorter, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, looking very spirited.

Zhou Yu, head of security.

No wonder he could be the team leader; his qualities far surpassed the previous two.

The delegation leader resided in a small suite. The living room wasn’t spacious, with just one sofa, several chairs, and a desk set in front of the floor-to-ceiling view window.

Apparently to get acquainted, all twelve members of the delegation squeezed into this space.

Most sat on the sofa and chairs tucked away in corners, with only two middle-aged men in black business jackets sitting near the desk, both major figures in this delegation.

The one behind the desk was lean, with a fair, ruddy complexion, appearing in his forties, but with sharp eyes and a composed demeanor.

While the one in front was noticeably younger, with a square face and slicked-back hair, his big eyes smiling, somewhat resembling Secretary Wu Bin, both having a touch of slickness.

Puli Southern Group Company Deputy General Manager, Sun Zhengxian;

And Sales Director, Pang Yuan.

"These coming days may be quite demanding for you all."

Sun Zhengxian spoke, his voice deep and resonant, similar to Li Ruilin, carrying an overwhelming presence.

It’s understandable; after all, Puli Group is a state enterprise, where executives are naturally drawn from within the system.

The subsidiary where Sun Zhengxian worked, Southern Group Company, specializes in arms trade, his position akin to deputy director level, same as Li Ruilin.

But Gu Ji was also someone familiar with significant events, promptly calling Li Yanan over:

"Surely you’re joking, Chief. Protecting the people’s safety is our duty. Just now in the elevator, I heard Mr. Wu mention you have a business banquet tonight. To ensure safety, I’ll need everyone to provide personal information, height, weight, basic physical condition, any illnesses, etc. Li Yanan, you and Yao Zhan are in charge of inquiring and recording."

"Yes!"

"Is that necessary? Personal health issues are private matters, aren’t they?"

"Yes, it’s the first time I’ve heard security ask about physical condition. Are we supposed to help in fights too?"

Just after he spoke, some delegation employees sitting in corners started whispering, seemingly discontent with his actions.

Gu Ji walked straight to the window, gazing at the buildings outside, and replied, "It’s necessary. Physical condition and illnesses directly affect my risk assessment of this security operation. Chief, I’ve reviewed your case details, and this is definitely not just a random harassment case by some thugs, Xv Guangpeng."

"Here, please review, Chief. Here’s the information we’ve gathered so far."

Xv Guangpeng placed a laptop on the desk, explaining the current tense situation and PM Company’s various misdeeds to Sun Zhengxian and Pang Yuan.

After hearing the report, Pang Yuan and some employees instantly showed fright and panic.

After all, they were just ordinary company staff, even if engaged in arms trade, they had never received any specialized military training. It’s natural to be scared under such circumstances.

Only Sun Zhengxian and the last security guard always by his side remained expressionless.

"Mr. Sun, maybe we should temporarily pull back..."

"No, attending the expo in Brazil is crucial for us to open up the South American market. We must complete the tasks assigned by the organization."

Sun Zhengxian’s sharp eyes narrowed, his voice steady and grim, with a vibe of "I won’t return without achieving my goal," "Everyone must unconditionally cooperate with Mr. Gu’s actions, understood?"

"Understood, Chief!"

"Swish!"

"Hey! What are you doing, drawing curtains in broad daylight!"

Just as everyone agreed, Gu Ji suddenly pulled the curtains, blocking the windows entirely, plunging the room into darkness.

"This is to prevent the leader from being spied upon."

Gu Ji’s real intention was to prevent snipers from locking onto the leader, but citing "PM Company" already caused enough panic among the white-collar workers; there was no need to stir more fear.

The interesting part was, he initially intended for Gao Bo to turn on the lights.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the curtains were drawn, Zhou Yu, the security head at the door, immediately switched on the lights.

Working with clever people is indeed a pleasure.

An action requires no explanation, and the other party understands your thoughts.

"Moreover, I noticed upon arrival that the hotel’s corridors are very long. This suite is at the deepest end, far from the elevator and the fire escape, making evacuation difficult in case of emergency. I suggest moving to a room closest to the fire escape."

"Isn’t the room closest to the fire escape mine?"

A long-haired female white-collar worker pointed to herself, mumbling, "But mine is a standard room, and besides, the hotel suites are all at corners with the best views, there’s simply no..."

"Follow Mr. Gu’s suggestion, Zhao. We’ll switch later."

Sun Zhengxian interrupted his employee, decisively, "Any other issues, Mr. Gu?"

"Chief, I’d like your four security guards to be under my arrangement."

Hearing this, Sun Zhengxian looked up at the security head Zhou Yu, seeing him nod slightly, "No problem, Zhou Yu, you four, follow Mr. Gu’s command from now on."

"Yes!"

All four security personnel shouted in unison.

Without wasting words, Gu Ji first assigned a security guard to stand guard near the fire exit in the corridor and instructed him to inform the hotel security in the lobby downstairs that if anyone seeks the Puli Delegation or if suspicious personnel appear, notify him immediately.

Then, he had Li Yaoguang use binoculars to stand by the window and discreetly pull a slit to observe activity on the street outside the hotel.

"Finally, I need detailed information on tonight’s business dinner, including time, location, and the number of participants from both sides, as detailed as possible!"

"I’ll handle this, Mr. Gu."

With that, Secretary Wu Bin came over with a dossier, detailing the evening’s event specifics.

Gu Ji listened attentively while his mind analyzed the evening’s security strategies.

The five key protection principles for dignitaries:

Information security, area security, personnel security, communication security, and emergency response.

From an information security standpoint, it was challenging for the Bafang side to enforce a blockade.

PM may have already known about tonight’s business gathering.

Thus efforts must focus on Puli Delegation’s arrangements, particularly refining the travel routes.

"Gu Ji, there’s something wrong downstairs!"
