Before Shen Bei'an could react, he instinctively looked towards the stage.
On the stage, something covered with a black cloth was pushed up, and it was impossible to tell what was inside.
The auctioneer waved his hand and pulled back the black cloth, revealing a beautiful young woman with a pure face and revealing clothes!
She was like a pet, chained up in a cage with gold chains around her entire body. Pink diamonds, blue diamonds, purple diamonds... all kinds of diamonds were used as decorations and set on her silk dress. Her eyes were covered with a black cloth, and her body twisted involuntarily.
It seemed as if she had been drugged; a loudspeaker had been placed in the hall, and the girl's panting voice echoed throughout the entire hall!
She was drugged!
The phrase instantly popped into Shen Beian's mind.
As I've repeated countless times before, the soundproofing here is excellent.
The protective measures are also very comprehensive. The glass is all one-way, so people inside can see outside, while people outside have no idea what is happening inside.
Even so, Shen Beian could still imagine the faces of the so-called aristocratic families and powerful clans in those private rooms.
They're all a bunch of hypocrites!
"This is human trafficking!" Shen Bei'an suddenly turned to look at Gu Nan'an, his eyes bloodshot and bloodshot, gripping Gu Nan'an's wrist tightly.
He had read some novels that described such scenes, and he already loathed them, let alone witnessing them in person.
Even if he had bought the Wen family's young master back then at the hunting grounds, the situation was still different from now.
"Well, it's both human trafficking and not human trafficking." Gu Nanyan didn't look at the girl below, letting Shen Beian pinch him like that, and just looked at him gently. "I don't know about other places, but anyone who can appear at the Fuyun Island auction must have been raised by the people here from a young age."
“They come from many places, but most of them are abandoned babies who are found by Fuyun Island from all over the world.”
"Many of those with physical defects became experimental subjects, while those with relatively healthy bodies were transformed into sexual slaves, also known as sex slaves."
There aren't many places for entertainment on Fuyun Island, and while there are plenty of people who enjoy having fun, the daily grind can also be overwhelming for some.
Some even more insane individuals inject themselves with certain drugs.
What to do with excess energy?
The simplest way is to find a sex slave.
Both men and women have sexual desires.
“And some so-called superior ones will be like this.”
You can't hear any emotion in Gu Nanyan's voice—no anger, no breakdown, no apology, no pity.
Like a calm ocean, stretching as far as the eye can see.
"An'an, you can save one, but you can't save everyone."
Gu Nanyan sensed what Shen Bei'an was about to do and grabbed his hand in return, "Does An'an think only Fuyun Island is like this?"
“Northern Myanmar, the Golden Triangle…you must know these places. That’s just human nature.”
Gu Nanyan's tone was laced with sarcasm, "In that case, Fuyun Island is actually quite good. At least it didn't give them any hope from the beginning, nor did it cause their families to be destroyed."
Although Fuyun Island does have cases of people being directly arrested from outside, those are only a minority.
"So we're just going to let them do this?!" Shen Bei'an looked at her, his eyes filled with disappointment, his voice still sharp and grating.
He knew all this, of course, but he just wouldn't accept it!
“We’re not letting them get away with this, aren’t we just about to change things?” Gu Nanyan’s voice was calm and gentle.
The girl had already been photographed while the couple were talking.
Three hundred million!
The girl was auctioned off for a high price of 300 million.
When Shen Beian heard the auctioneer bring down the hammer price, he was at a loss for words.
"The people from Fuyun Island spent approximately fifty million on that girl."
Gu Nanyan spoke calmly.
For the current empire, it would cost an average family approximately 1.32 million to raise a child to adulthood.
As for the feedback, it's similar to buying a lottery ticket.
Here, spending 50 million to train a "sex slave" yields a net profit of at least 25 million!
The girl was pushed down and taken to the designated private room, where a large cage appeared next, containing a young boy!
Her attire was similar to that of the young girl, and she too had been drugged.
Here, regardless of gender, they are merely tools for venting their frustrations and for accumulating wealth.
Upon realizing this, Shen Beian felt a tremor run through his body.
“The Gu family’s power in the world is indeed considerable, but it is far from being able to completely control everything.” Gu Nanyan patted Chen Bei’an’s back lightly.
"I still maintain that we can't solve the problems abroad in a short time, but at least we can start making changes domestically."
"We plan to establish a humanitarian association within the empire. Would you like to be its president, baby?"
Shen Beian originally established the Sprout Foundation because Ye Xu's death made him realize that school bullying also exists in this world, and it can even be more serious in some cases because of the power of aristocratic families.
After learning about some autistic patients, they began to expand the scope of the Sprout Foundation.
“I…” Shen Bei’an met Gu Nan’an’s phoenix eyes behind the silver frame, the tenderness in his eyes almost overflowing.
And there is also a great deal of trust.
"Xing Xiao will always be by your side. Xing Xiao once followed Zhao Jun for a period of time and studied with her during that time. After returning to the capital, once the Humanitarian Association is officially established, Xing Xiao will become a qualified special assistant."
Gu Nanyan's choice of words is very precise.
"Lin Cheng and Cheng Yan will also be by your side to assist you."
“If needed, you can select people from the collateral branches of the Gu family, or you can issue recruitment notices.”
"The Humanitarian Association is a centrally administered official administrative body."
"So, you mean I might be directly managed by Hua Yueli from now on?" Shen Bei'an didn't really like dealing with Hua Yueli. If it was because of Hua Yueli's arrogant and annoying personality at first, now it was because of her almost crazy personality!
Sometimes Shen Bei'an even wondered if Hua Yueli would really become an excellent president of the country.
Did she truly bring a better future to the empire?
“No,” Gu Nanyan shook his head. “The Humanitarian Association is indeed a nominally centrally managed official administrative body, but it is completely independent of the imperial administrative units.”
"You can think of it as an organization with a similar status in the world as Fuyun Island."
They had wanted to establish this organization for a long time, but they hadn't found a suitable candidate.
After looking around, she discovered that her partner, Shen Wuye, who was considered by the world to be "good-for-nothing with only good looks," was actually the most suitable candidate.

Empty! !
To reiterate, the empires described here are fundamentally different from our real-world countries!
