Every word and phrase struck Ning Zhang like a stone.
Ning Zhang's hands clenched tightly beneath his wide sleeves as he forcefully suppressed the rust rising in his throat. "Lord Brown is absolutely right."
Before leaving home, Old Master Ning repeatedly warned Ning Zhang not to provoke the Brown family head and Lord Brown.
With only a slight blood relation, she managed to bring the Brown family under her control and ensure that no one in the Brown family voiced any opposition. It goes without saying how terrifying this woman is.
As for this man, what kind of simple person could he be to be able to hold such a woman in his grasp and indulge himself in her arms?
"Young Master Ning, please sit down and prepare to watch," Shen Juanqing said at the opportune moment. There's always someone who has to play the good cop, and someone who has to play the bad cop.
Ning Yao barely managed to suppress her laughter. This was probably the first time someone had ever embarrassed Ning Zhang like this.
"The exchange meeting is in a few days, why would you come, brother?" It's necessary to give them a way out, after all, they are both members of the Ning family. Ning Zhang is the young master of the Ning family, and his words and actions represent the face of the Ning family.
At least now is not the time to completely break ties.
Ning Zhang snorted coldly, his tone not very good, "Are you saying that I can't come?" Although he knew that the fault was not Ning Yao's, Ning Zhang had still lashed out at Ning Yao quite a bit.
I've really gotten used to it now.
Ning Yao was used to being rebuffed. "Brother, what are you saying? I was just concerned about you. But your words make it sound like I can supervise you now."
Ning Yao's slightly submissive words only made Ning Zhang seem even more unreasonable.
In the past, Shen Bei'an might have intended to watch the show, but now that he was here, he had no interest in it at all. "Shut up, if you want to argue, go home and argue. Don't bother me here."
With a glance from his peach blossom eyes, cold and aloof, even though he looked like a spoiled young master, this look silenced the two of them.
Master Shen Wu can be quite dignified at times.
Shen Beian sat on the soft cushion, but it wasn't very comfortable, so she simply sat on Gu Nanyan's lap and said listlessly, "I don't want to eat anymore, I want to drink some coconut juice."
Gu Nanyan picked up a damp handkerchief to wash his hands, then took a dry handkerchief to wipe them before handing the coconut juice to Shen Bei'an's lips. Shen Bei'an took two sips through the straw.
"When will it start?" The tone was drawn out, sounding somewhat impatient.
Ning Yao was also startled by Shen Bei'an's gaze just now, never expecting that Fifth Master Shen would have such a majestic moment.
Hearing Master Shen's question, he quickly said, "Lord Brown, don't be anxious. The prey will enter in a quarter of an hour, and the hunt will officially begin in a quarter of an hour."
Ning Yao did not know in advance who the prey would be, but the number of deaths was always quite high during each hunt.
As for those who participate in the hunting, most of them are tourists who come to have fun.
Rare animals are no longer common on Fuyun Island; they can be found in hunting grounds in Western Europe and America.
But if humans are the prey, then Fuyun Island is probably the only one in the whole world that does it.
Ning Yao suppressed the sarcasm in her heart, thinking that they were just bored and had nothing better to do. If they could, they should all become Ning Zhang's experimental subjects instead of being captured.
Shen Bei'an whispered in Gu Nan'an's ear, "Yan'an, do you have any mints or anything like that?"
Master Shen was really afraid that he would vomit all over Young Master Chang in a moment.
“Yes,” Gu Nanyan said, as if he had been prepared for this. He took out an exquisite little wooden box from somewhere. Shen Bei’an immediately recognized that it was made of sandalwood, and the auspicious cloud pattern carved on it was of the highest quality. The clasp was made of glass-type purple jadeite.
If it were the old Shen Bei'an, he might have said it was wasteful.
At the moment, Master Shen thought it was all normal.
"Not only does it come in mint flavor, but it also has ginger flavor."
Shen Beian opened the small box, inside which were two more identical small boxes. Without a doubt, they were both made of Dalbergia odorifera wood. One had a clasp made of icy green jadeite, and the other had a clasp made of icy yellow jadeite.
You can tell at a glance that the green jade flavor is mint-flavored, and the yellow jade flavor is ginger-flavored.
Master Shen Wu has a certain aversion to ginger.
In the words of Master Shen Wu: Ginger has no self-respect at all. It's willing to be with anyone and even cosplays them all so well!
Shen Beian went straight to the green jadeite, took one out and put it in his mouth. The minty flavor made Shen the Fifth Master very satisfied.
Mint is something that people who like it want to eat every day, while those who don't like it think that everything mint-flavored tastes like toothpaste.
Master Shen happened to be someone who liked mint, and as for the eldest son, he was never that picky; he would eat whatever Master Shen fed him.
Shen Beian took a pill from another box and put it into Gu Nanyan's mouth.
The first taste was of spicy ginger, but the young master's expression remained completely unchanged.
The expected scene did not occur, but Shen Bei'an was not annoyed. He was probably the only one in the world who could make his wife change her expression.
Thinking of this, Master Shen felt a little smug.
A quarter of an hour passed quickly. After whispering to each other for a while, the prey made their appearance one by one.
The first two people who came into view were a boy and a girl, both of whom looked to be under twenty.
They were all dressed in bright scarlet gauze dresses, with very little fabric, barely enough to cover their vital parts.
Above the scarlet gauze dress were large fields of poppies.
Shen Bei'an still remembered what Gu Nan'an had said; it meant it was fun to play with.
The group following behind were mostly young people, both men and women.
The people behind them wore simpler clothing, with large printed red spider lilies, which symbolized certain death.
They were led in by a group of people, and Shen Beian saw a familiar figure directing from the front.
"That is... Where have I seen it before?"
“Zou Ke, we met when we got off the plane.” Gu Nanyan spoke up at the right moment, his phoenix eyes narrowing as he saw the boy at the front.
Matsui Iwane's most beloved son
Looking further, almost the entire Matsui family was there.
Gu Nanyu naturally recognized the Matsui family members.
Thinking back to the Morgan family of yesteryear, and why the medical alliance has invited him repeatedly today.
She probably wanted to use him to tell her sister the story, thereby extinguishing her anger.
Gu Nanyu's gaze lingered on Gu Nanyan for a few seconds, clearly indicating that Gu Nanyan had also noticed.
I just feel there's no point in doing it.
She doesn't care about these things, but the order on Fuyun Island is bound to change eventually.
"So it was him. Wasn't he from the Enforcement Division? How come someone from the Enforcement Division is here..." In Shen Beian's mind, the Enforcement Division should be a group of righteous forces, so why was he here?
Moreover, Shen Beian remembered that Zou Ke seemed to be a commander, which meant that he held a high position in the Enforcement Division, and since he was surnamed Zou, he should be a member of the Zou family of the Elders' Council.

Master Shen: Ginger has absolutely no dignity!! Especially when it's with potatoes.
