I, Shen Bei’an, a rich second-generation heir whose surname is shared by many male protagonists in novels, transmigrated into a novel about a powerful boss after writing a 3,000-character critiqu...
Shen Beian had no liking for the name, but he disliked the act of shooting someone in public even more.
How is this behavior any different from the atrocities committed by Japan during its invasion of China in the First World, including burning, killing, looting, and plundering?
It just seems more orderly here, whereas Japan's invasion of China in the First World was more like that of a band of bandits, and of course, it wasn't just Japan.
Furthermore, the Anglo-French allied forces completely destroyed the Yuanmingyuan, which had been built intermittently over 150 years, and the Eight-Nation Alliance invaded China…
To Shen Beian, all of these things were equally disgusting.
Furthermore, in the First World, the most outrageous thing Shen Beian, as a model socialist youth, did was to participate in several large-scale gambling events in Las Vegas, known as the "City of Sin," with his older sister.
He was completely oblivious to the whole thing, having followed his older sister's lead.
Moreover, after he came into this world, his family members seemed to be deliberately protecting him, preventing him from having any contact with the present.
It's like a domesticated rabbit suddenly being sent to a forest full of wild predators, forcing him to witness firsthand several hunts by large beasts and territorial disputes.
Therefore, it was extremely difficult for Shen Bei'an to suddenly accept all of this.
Shen Bei'an knew that every world was like this.
Darkness is always hidden beneath the light, but many people are unaware of it.
If Gu Nanyan hadn't suddenly made a decision, he probably would never have come into contact with these things in his life.
Shen Bei'an gave Gu Nan'an a deep look; he understood better than anyone else.
Fuyun Island
Gu Nanyan didn't need to come in person at all; the Gu family had plenty of people to do it for her.
Gu Nanyu is the best candidate, isn't he?
Gu Nanyan came to Fuyun Island solely for him.
No matter how complicated Shen Beian's emotions were, the hunt continued.
"That young master Yu-ren is mine, none of you should try to take him from me!"
"Hahahaha, Ishihara Kanji, I've been coveting Hisahito for a long time too. It's just a matter of who gets him first!"
"Excuse me, but I've also taken a liking to him. Gentlemen, let's rely on our own abilities!"
"Since everyone wants Prince Yuuhito, then I will take Prince Shinya!"
Among the many prey, the most conspicuous were the two young boys and girls at the beginning.
There was another person who also stood out, simply because he was very good at dodging.
Countless people shot arrows at him, but not only on his body, but even on his bright red dress covered in poppies, there was no damage.
"If I remember correctly, according to my godfather's arrangement, everyone in the Matsui family was on the list of those who were to die. So why are Matsui Shinya and Matsui Yujin wearing dresses adorned with the color of roses?" Doreen stood on a high place, looking down at the hunting grounds below.
Zou Ke stood beside Doreen at this moment, saying, "Ishihara Kanji, the heir of the Ishihara family, a native Japanese family, contributed 300 million Imperial Coins to the construction of the hunting grounds."
Three hundred million Imperial Coins may not seem like much on Fuyun Island, but it's still worth it to exchange for two "prey".
Moreover, if the two young masters of the Matsui family fall into the hands of the Ishihara family heir, their future will likely be even more difficult.
The main reason for replacing two doomed "prey" with playable "prey" was not because of the 300 million Imperial Coins, but more because the person requesting the exchange was the heir of the Ishihara family.
"Furthermore, I have already consulted with Lord Jones and obtained his consent before making the change." Although Zou Ke is not yet thirty, he has been working in the Enforcement Division since he was sixteen and is already very familiar with the rules of Fuyun Island.
Naturally, I wouldn't do anything to put myself in a difficult position.
He knew very well what money he should and shouldn't take.
Of the 300 million, Zou Ke received 80 million.
Zou Ke certainly wasn't short of money, but why wouldn't he accept free money coming to his door, which only required a simple report?
Doreen nodded in acknowledgment.
"However, I'm curious why Young Master Gu would refuse. What a great opportunity!" Zou Ke twirled a new NX748 with his right hand aimlessly, his gaze unfocused, and he inadvertently glanced at the young master watching over there.
He was dressed in a moon-white robe with cloud and floral patterns, sitting there with an upright posture, holding a handkerchief in one hand and a piece of mung bean cake in the other, taking small bites, and occasionally picking up a teacup to sip a couple of times.
It looked exceptionally delicious, and her eyes narrowed into slits.
This stands in stark contrast to the bloody and brutal scene below.
It was as if he should be a pampered young master living on the top floor of an ivory tower, untouched by the world.
It's no secret on Fuyun Island that Young Master Gu will manage Wushang Loulan in the future.
That's why Arnor decided to let Gu Nanyu shoot this arrow.
The Matsui family originally had little to do with what happened six years ago, and now that things have changed, they naturally don't want Gu Nanyan to get involved.
It's just a small family. Even if the Matsui family is gone, there's still the Ishihara family, the Matsushita family, the Okamura family...
"Maybe they find it too troublesome." Doreen didn't want to speculate too much and waste her brain cells.
“I remember there was a hunting competition a few years ago, and Young Master Gu won first place.” Zou Ke picked up his pistol, seemingly about to fire.
Doreen did not speak again.
Zou Ke wasn't surprised; Doreen wasn't a talkative person to begin with.
He muttered to himself, "And that time in the underground boxing ring, he came anonymously and won five consecutive matches. Nobody knew where this anonymous young boxer came from, just like the legendary figure of yesteryear—reborn from the ashes."
"At the subsequent hunting party, Lord Xiao Qi, the supreme ruler of Loulan, treated him with utmost respect, even relinquishing his seat of honor. Only after hearing Lord Xiao Qi address him as 'Sixth Young Master' did he realize that this young man with heterochromatic eyes was actually the Sixth Young Master of the Gu family!"
"However, it's truly unexpected that the Gu family could send the sixth young master of the eldest branch here."
"Whether it's that person or the eldest young master, they must have their own plans, but ultimately it has nothing to do with us. It's just that this sixth young master Gu's personality is like all the Gu family members—unpredictable. We'll definitely have a lot of dealings with him in the future, which is why it's difficult." Although Doreen was involved with poison, she never dared to target anyone from the Gu family.
Even though Doreen didn't personally experience the time when the entire island of Fuyun was shrouded in poisonous fog, she still knew how terrifying the medicine used by the Gu family was.
"I'm just a minor commander, it's not my place to meet with Young Master Gu." Zou Ke shrugged. The Gu family members were hard to read, but it was always easy to talk to them.
However, it is easy to unknowingly step into a trap.
The two chatted casually.
On the other side, Shen Beian couldn't bear to watch any longer. "I feel like I don't really want to go hunting anymore."
He feared that every time he was about to draw his bow, such a scene would appear in his mind.
