Chapter 1491 No one is here to serve you
Sheng Mian did not drink the bowl of porridge.
The nanny rolled her eyes and put the bowl away.
"Just stay in bed, there's no one here to take care of you."
As soon as the door to the room was closed, she slowly got out of bed.
Fortunately, my body has not been injected with other drugs, so I am still feeling strong.
She looked out through the window and found a luxurious courtyard with rockeries and flowing water outside.
She wanted to open the window, tried it, and found that it wouldn't open.
She came to the door again and pushed it open.
The door was locked from the outside and still couldn't be opened.
Is she being locked up?
Fortunately, the room is not small and has a separate bathroom.
She went back to bed, because she still didn't know the current situation, so she could only wait.
In the hall of the Ran family, a cup of tea was placed in front of He Zhou.
The head of the Ran family is now in his forties. The previous head passed away a few years ago, and now Ran Liang is in charge.
Ran Liang looked at He Zhou's demeanor and chuckled.
"So Mr. He also wants to do other business with us?"
He Zhou put down the teacup in his hand and spoke in a very calm tone.
"Would the Ran family master not know what kind of business you are doing? Aren't you the best at selling two-legged beasts?"
Twoleg, which is short for human.
On Shutter Island, no one knows what kind of business these big families are doing behind the scenes. This is a dirty but long-lasting industrial chain.
Moreover, it is monopolized by these families, and ordinary people on the entire island can sell it.
Therefore, women's status here is extremely low. Apart from giving birth to children, they have almost no other role.
Each additional child will be rewarded with a lot of money, so there are almost no only children on the entire island.
Every school on the island is designed to stimulate children's talents. Once there is talent in a certain field, they will be favored.
It's not as exaggerated as what Lu Ye told Sheng Mian before, but it's probably the same thing.
This kind of rule is only known to a few family heads in the inner island, and even other people in the family don't know it.
The people in the clan are vaguely aware of their family's supreme status here, so when they go out on weekdays, they all want to look at people with their nostrils.
Ran Liang narrowed his eyes slightly and looked He Zhou up and down.
A few days ago, Fu Xingzhou appeared here. Several major families joined forces and kidnapped him, making him a prisoner.
Although Fu Xingzhou ran away, but now there is another He Zhou, and I always feel that the two of them look a bit alike.
Are they brothers, or are they?
However, Fu Xingzhou was ruthless and aboveboard in his actions and would never participate in the sale of two-legged beasts.
The man in front of him was completely different from Fu Xingzhou.
Probably not brothers.
Ran Liang didn't speak, just looked at the cup in his hand quietly.
After a long while, he asked, "How many Two-legged beasts does Mr. He want?"
"Master Ran, I want the best quality, twenty of them."
"No problem, but when will I get the medicine Mr. He promised?"
"A month later."
"Okay, then it will be one month. Within this month, the Ran family will entertain Mr. He well."
He Zhou stood up and left the hall.
Beside Master Ran, the housekeeper spoke.
"Master, is this person really reliable? Over the years, it has been the same person who has been asking us for help, but now a single-handed He Zhou has come, and he is even generous."
Ran Liang put down the tea cup in his hand and sneered.
"Whether he is reliable or not, at least the medicine he mentioned is quite attractive. I'll just wait for a month. If he can't get it by then, I won't let him leave alive."
The butler stopped talking and stood respectfully with his mouth shut.
There was competition among the four big families before.
The big family controls everything on the inner island, but they all know that above them, there is a mysterious elder.
The elders' people would come to them every three months to ask for people. As for where these people were sent, they didn't know. Anyway, the people sent away never came back.
In addition to the elders, there is also a man in black robes who is responsible for selling medicines.
The black-robed man and the elder knew each other, but they rarely appeared at the same time.
The four major families have to buy medicines from this man in black robes. The medicines are limited and each person can get very little.
Now there is a new drug peddler, and whether what he says is true or false, the Ran family has to give it a try.
After all, He Zhou promised that if the quality of the medicine passed the standard, he would only sell the medicine to the Ran family alone in the future.
This means that the Ran family can monopolize this medicine.
The corners of his mouth curled up, a little curious as to what He Zhou would do next.
He ordered the steward beside him.
"No matter what he wants, try to give it to him."
"Okay, Master."
He Zhou did make a request to the Ran family. He wanted a research room. From the looks of it, he planned to research medicines by himself.
When the housekeeper reported it to Ran Liang, Ran Liang frowned and agreed.
In less than half a day, a clean laboratory was completed next door to Sheng Mian.
And in order to see her at any time, He Zhou had someone cut a hole in the adjacent wall. (End of chapter)
