Nan Qingqing, having heard everything, slowly let go of her worries.
"Dad, have you secured the burial plot for Nan Yu?"
Nan Luzhi said, "It’s done. I specially had it chosen by a master. It’s a top-notch ominous site. Once buried there, she’ll beco a lonely wandering ghost who can never reincarnate. It will even affect her birth parents’ fortunes, leading to their family’s downfall."
Nan Qingqing revealed a satisfied smile. "Dad, I am most at ease when you handle things. I’ll co to pick up mom in half an hour."
Nan Luzhi replied, "Great, I’ll wait for you at ho for the good news."
After hanging up the phone, Nan Qingqing looked around the opulent bedroom and then to the imnse luxury courtyard outside, her eyes filled with unmistakable greed.
anwhile, at the Nan Family private zoo.
Nan Yu was thodically slicing beef, then placing it into the basket beside her.
She casually asked, "Brother Ren, why are you working here as a keeper?"
Ren Xingzhou, guiding her in cutting the at, looked up from the chunks of at at Nan Yu with a casual tone.
"Because dealing with people is tireso; it’s more interesting to be with animals."
Nan Yu split the at in her hand into two, then quickly and neatly cut it into the specified small pieces as required.
"Brother Ren, were you a soldier before?"
Ren Xingzhou, without directly answering, continued looking at the at. "What does it matter?"
Nan Yu glanced at his sowhat evasive eyes and gently smiled. "Brother Ren, don’t misunderstand, it’s just that when you shoot, your hands are very steady, as if you’ve trained extensively, so I guessed you might have been a soldier."
Ren Xingzhou, noticing her detailed observation, narrowed his eyes briefly then looked away, casually explaining, "Then you guessed wrong. It’s because I hunt pheasants in the woods everyday that I gradually developed my shooting skills."
Nan Yu detected the evasiveness and hesitation in his tone; clearly, he was lying.
She contained her emotions and did not pursue further, changing the subject.
"Brother Ren, how long do I need to stay here? My family doesn’t know I’m here, and you’ve hidden my phone. I’m afraid they’ll worry and it would be bad if they end up calling the police due to a misunderstanding."
Ren Xingzhou grabbed a nearby branch, plucked a leaf and chewed on it, grinning roguishly. "Just stay put here; the lady has already inford your parents, so no need to worry."
"Moreover, this afternoon, your mother will co to see you along with Miss Qingqing."
Hearing this, Nan Yu’s body stiffened noticeably.
"Are you sure they are coming?"
Ren Xingzhou crunched the leaf, spit it out, and nodded. "Sure, the lady called ten minutes ago saying your mother is worried about your safety and insisted on coming to see you."
Nan Yu stopped cutting the at, suspicion flashing in her eyes.
Her mother and sister would rather she died, yet they’d co to see her?
"Nan Yu, why did you stop cutting? Hurry up, their feeding ti is about to begin. If they aren’t fed, they’ll beco agitated and may cause trouble," Ren Xingzhou said, breaking into her thoughts.
Nan Yu snapped back to reality and continued cutting the at.
"If they starve, they might turn to eating humans."
Ren Xingzhou raised his eyebrows, his bronzed skin reflecting the sunlight as he grinned, his voice low and slightly nacing.
"So we must feed them on ti, every day. If we’re late, it triggers their primal instincts, and they might view you as food, devouring you to satisfy their hunger."
