Arnor was not surprised and continued, "I wonder if Young Master Qiao has any recollection of Subject 7983?"
The topic shifted so quickly that even Qiao Yifan was surprised. "Experimental subject number 7983?"
Qiao Yifan handles far too many experimental subjects every day; this place is completely different from the Shouwu Research Institute.
Qiao Yifan sometimes felt that he was becoming numb and about to lose his "humanity".
"Is Mr. Jones referring to the female jackpot at today's hunting grounds?"
The two young boys and girls who appeared at the start of the hunting grounds were called the "first prize."
“Indeed, I wonder if Young Master Qiao remembers her background?” Arnor didn’t beat around the bush and asked directly.
Qiao Yifan paused slightly with his finger. "Experimental subject No. 7983 was found in Qingchuan City of the Empire. When he was found, he was not yet of school age."
Qiao Yifan hadn't been on Fuyun Island for long, but he already knew the origins of these experimental subjects by heart.
When Qingchuan City was mentioned, Arnor became even more puzzled.
Before Gu Nanyan and his men finished their work, Qingchuan City was not a particularly prominent city in the empire, and many experimental subjects were found from there.
In other words, there was nothing special about test subject number 7983.
If that's the case, why did Gu Nanyu buy it?
“Young Master Qiao is very talented. It’s a bit of a disservice to you to be here,” Arnor said with a soft laugh.
Qiao Yifan repeatedly said, "Your Excellency Jones, you flatter me. I feel perfectly at home here, and I am very grateful to Your Excellency Jones for not disliking me. I am not at all aggrieved; I am too grateful to even think about it." He placed the teacup on the table.
Arnor smiled and said, "It is a blessing for our medical alliance to have a talent like Young Master Qiao."
Anyone can say those kinds of things that are common in official circles.
"Sigh, he didn't even drink a drop." After Qiao Yifan left, Arnor sighed as he looked at the untouched teacup on the table. "Luo, your younger brother is just as you said."
"Hey, you've been using holographic projections quite frequently these past few days," Arnor said, looking at the figure behind him.
"Do you like the gift?" Qingran's voice was humble and gentle, completely unlike Arnor's, which carried a hint of sarcasm.
Arnor turned his head away. "It's the same every year. Don't you get tired of it?"
They give out matryoshka dolls every year, and apart from changing the designs a little, there's nothing new about them.
"If you like it, that's fine." Qingran seemed oblivious to the sarcasm in Arnor's words. "A-Sui has already gone, and Xi-ge'er has gone too. They might run into each other at the auction in a while."
"You're such a good husband and father," Arnor said sarcastically, turning his head. "That lovesick bastard Wei Shengsui, you've become just as lovesick after spending so much time with him?"
"If someone who has no blood relation to you could protect you like that, Wei Shengxi would probably have been killed by Wei Shengsui long ago if it weren't for you."
Arnor had little affection for his father since childhood, and it was only this so-called half-brother who could sometimes take care of him.
But in this older brother's heart, his own status was far inferior to that of the great romantic.
“Daniel, liking someone doesn’t necessarily mean getting something in return. Just like your passion for medical research, even if you don’t get the results you want, you’ll still keep researching, right?” Qingran was still very gentle, like an older brother teaching his younger brother.
Arnor frowned and waved his hand. "Alright, give me the holographic image. Stop lecturing me. I'm different from you."
"By the way, for some reason, Gu Liu bought the top prize for women at the hunting grounds. Has the Gu family in the capital made any moves?"
Arnor's words surprised Qingran on the other side, who was clearly not expecting it either.
"Never, the wind and waves were calm."
The Gu family has always been like this, especially as the leadership transition approaches, the Gu family members are even less likely to make any moves.
Moreover, now that the head of the Gu family has given birth to two children, the safety and future education of those two children are of paramount importance to the Gu family.
The Gu family has never forced any of its sons to get married.
Moreover, even if they were pressured to get married, the young master of the Gu family would never stoop so low as to choose a sex slave as his wife.
And they certainly wouldn't tarnish their own reputation or bring shame upon the Gu family.
"Have you investigated that girl?" Qingran has always been chaste and has never been involved with any women or men, but he is more or less aware of those things.
"Well, she was a very ordinary test subject who had been in the Medical Alliance for almost ten years. She was really no longer of any use, and since we were short of a female prize, we sent her to the hunting grounds. Who knew that she would pique the interest of Young Master Gu?"
"It might not be Young Master Gu," Qingran said softly. "Didn't you say there were four other people with Young Master Gu?"
Arnor sat back in his seat, stroking the gift box. "And there are the Lord of Yishuihan, the Lord of Fengyun, and the Brown family head and his wife."
"I think there's some ambiguity between the Lord of Yishuihan and the Lord of Fengyun, and as for the Brown family head and his wife, there's no need to say more."
Arnor shrugged. "I've seen plenty of men who abandon their wives and husbands who have shared hardship, but the Brown family head is truly a rare sight."
Arnor never married. He preferred medical research to matters of the heart, so he had many adopted sons and daughters, but no biological children of his own.
But here, I've seen all sorts of people.
"Human hearts are fickle, and who else but oneself can truly know them?" Qingran didn't think much of it. There were many beautiful love stories in the capital, but even more were about power and profit.
“The Gu family’s rules are quite strict. That prize definitely isn’t something Sixth Young Master Gu wants; it should be given away. Have someone keep a close eye on Patriarch Brown.” For some reason, Qingran felt that Patriarch Brown was not a simple man.
"Don't worry," Arnor said, naturally instructing his men to keep a close watch. "Third Master Gu and the Duke of Windsor..."
This is what he's more worried about.
"The Gu family has remained neutral for so many years, and the Gu family is well aware of what the Sixth Young Master Gu has done on Fuyun Island."
"As the Duke of Windsor's partner, he is fond of medical research, so it's natural that the Duke of Windsor will accompany him. The two of them don't need to worry too much."
Every place has its own rules, and even if the Gu family is extremely powerful, they will not break the rules at will.
Moreover, who among the twelve people in the capital didn't know what kind of corrupt state Fuyun Island was in?
It was merely an attempt to take the opportunity to slightly suppress the relevant forces on Fuyun Island in order to restrain the people in the imperial capital.
It's a pity about Qin Suiya; she ruined such a good piece of the game herself!
He's keeping a pack of wolves around him who'll devour their master!
The Chu family…
We also need to see how the future head of the Chu family behaves. The young master raised by the He family is quite good; he is a family man.
However, Chu Li is no simple person either, as he is able to establish a relationship with Hua Yueli.
"Okay, that's good." Arnor finally breathed a sigh of relief.
