Chapter 86: Being Treated Like A Pig

  Everything was just as Zhang Shidong had expected.

  People like Jiang Yongnian, who have reached this level of wealth and status, must be looking for something exciting to do. They've probably had enough of luxury cars, high-end golf courses, mansions, celebrities, and models. Now they're seeking a return to something more primal, something that's trending among these successful individuals who have been fighting their way up the social ladder for half their lives.

  Wilderness, survival, challenge, confrontation, gun battle.

  Emotional and behavioral release under legally permissible circumstances, for someone like Jiang Yongnian of this social class, it's easy to buy a mountain or a piece of land on the outskirts of the city, fence it off, spend some money on decorations, use real-life CS equipment, and add some hunting elements to create a win-win situation in terms of confrontationality and realism.

  Such activities are very popular nowadays, Zhang Shidong has a very annoying explanation for such activities: "A group of old men who have eaten their fill and are bored with each other, still want to let some vase see the boring activity of twisting wrists."

  Helicopters, fully equipped with high imitation clothing and weapons, professional guidance from retired special forces and external aid assistance.

  Looking at all this, Zhang Shidong thought that for a team of Jiang Yongnian's level, it was not surprising to have the most professional logistics and security guarantee team. If anything happened to anyone, any host would not be able to afford the cost.

  "I'm just a sauce maker, no need to bother, just take something casually." Zhang Shidong looked at Jiang Yongnian, Du Yuan, and Anan, who were all fully armed. Jiang Xueyue also put on some equipment in a playful manner, which was originally used for combat, but on her body, it became a fashion show. Especially with a gun in hand, a dagger hanging from her calf, and a hat slanted on her head, Zhang Shidong completely lost interest in taking equipment. He took out his phone and kept taking pictures of her, not hiding his admiration for this Jiang Xueyue at all. This seemingly embarrassing behavior actually made Du Yuan, who also wanted to take pictures, stop moving, sitting there unwilling to join Zhang Shidong.

  Looked at the simulated gun, the bullets are paintballs, hitting the body will be slightly painful, if accidentally hit in the face will also cause harm, is a relatively professional game, took an ordinary switchblade, a water bag tied to the waist, apart from this taking out his phone constantly taking pictures of Jiang Xueyu, completely just a novice who doesn't know what he's doing, and hasn't blended into the game at all.

  Jiang Yongnian was about to say something, but the figure that had been shrinking in the corner of the helicopter cabin stopped him. Less than 1.7 meters tall, with a lean build and disheveled whiskers on his face, he held two more items than Zhang Shidong: rock climbing hooks and ropes.

  "General Jiang, a steady general is better than one who rushes into battle wildly. You are going to win."

  Jiang Yongnian nodded: "Hei Yang, I'm troubling you again this time."

  The black sheep waved his hand indifferently: "Anyway, I'm bored and can make some good money here at Jiang's place, it should be me thanking you."

  The helicopter landed on an island in the middle of a lake. Zhang Shidong took advantage of the leisure time to observe from the helicopter that the surrounding waters of the island were all enclosed, unless you swim over, boats and other things will definitely not come over.

  The irregular lake island has a total area of several square kilometers and is an undeveloped tourist attraction. It seems that it was just about to be developed when it was bought by some wealthy tycoon and turned into a private domain.

  In inland areas, such private territories are rare, and having money can really achieve many things that ordinary people cannot imagine.

  When Jiang Yongnian and others got off the helicopter, there were already four people waiting there. The leader was a middle-aged fat man with a black mole on his face, next to him stood a woman who looked very familiar, upon closer inspection it was an inland actress who had recently risen to fame with two TV dramas, and there was also a bodyguard with professional makeup on his face. The last one was a pure laborer, carrying a tent, sleeping bag, water and food, no need to ask whose tent it was for.

  "Jiang Zong, you're late! This time it's just the two of us on a team. We must get first place." The fatty came forward to greet him, and the two with broken finger gloves also gave a fist bump.

  Jiang Yongnian: "Director Cao is going to be dragged down by me this time. I brought my daughter and younger generation here, mainly to let them have some fun. Don't take winning or losing too seriously, or you'll end up disappointed."

  Cao Zong fixed his gaze on Jiang Xueyu, and instantly, the female star beside him was overshadowed: "Niece is so beautiful, President Jiang, don't hide her too deeply, also give our Xiangjiang's talented youth a chance, hehe, look at me, I said something wrong, niece has two bodyguards, what turn is it for me to introduce?"

  Jiang Yongnian introduced Jiang Xueyu to Cao Peter, a real estate tycoon from Hong Kong, worth over 10 billion, and also an old-brand rich man in Hong Kong.

  "Du Yuan, Director Cao, take a look and help me out, how's the husband I've found for my daughter?"

  "Dad..."

  Cao Peter was also a clever person. One look at Jiang Xue's reluctant appearance, Du Yuan's "I'll do whatever you say" attitude, and Zhang Shidong's completely carefree demeanor on the side, and he couldn't help but understand. He chuckled and the two teams merged into one, walking onto the island.

  "Old rules, either kill a certain number or find three target objects." Cao Bi was no stranger to this, familiar with the routine, or for him, when night fell, enjoying the feeling of sleeping under the stars in a tent in the wilderness with Little Ming in his arms was more tempting than the entire game.

  Two teams made up of exactly ten people, except for the areas where ships dock and helicopters land, entered the game area in a completely undeveloped state. A hunting rifle can satisfy the thrill of killing animals that are raised all over the mountains.

  With professional foreign aid, all the way to what looks like a tour, Anan and Cao Peter's bodyguard Dong Cha leads the way in front, perhaps the encounter battle in the wild is the most enjoyable for these wealthy people.

  After a while, Jiang Yongnian and Du Yuan became very professional, and during the process, they also had some professional postures. The guns in their hands were no longer just for show, but were held up from time to time to look around. Cao Bide and that little star were the same, playing with great enthusiasm. On this side, Hei Yang fell behind the team, staring at Zhang Shidong, the only person he couldn't see through, purely out of curiosity. Anyway, it was boring. A group of rich people's game, foreign aid is just for wiping their butts, more accurately, some people who can't afford to lose use it to save face.

  The island is not big, and this group of people has physical energy problems.

  So, a kilometer in the mountains is actually several kilometers, with one foot deep and the other shallow. After reaching a small patch of flat land, this group of people chose to rest temporarily. Anan and Dongcha also brought back news that there was no movement nearby. The black sheep went into the woods for a few minutes and came out with two fat rabbits, which were quickly slaughtered and put on skewers for roasting.

  Jiang Yongnian took advantage of Zhang Shidong's absence to take a photo, pulled Jiang Xueyu down and sat down, without avoiding Cao Bide in the scene, speaking bluntly about what he disliked: "Xiao Yu, take a look, someone who can't even make games well and can't be serious about it, what else can they do? Is this kind of person worth your continued close relationship? Don't think I didn't see your little movements, Xiao Yuan is here, I'll say it again..."

  "Dad, let's just have fun for now and not mention this matter. Seeing the white hair at his father's temples, Jiang Xue also didn't choose to argue, and gave a signal to Du Yuan."

  "Ah, uncle, Xiaoyu has grown up and she has her own choices. She's still young, although I've done well for myself on the outside, but deep down, she's still a child. Let her see enough of the world outside and then she'll be fine. If Xiaoyu really finds her own happiness, then our engagement can be cancelled. Even if I'm not her husband, as her brother, I will protect her. You can rest assured."

  This remark, with its straightforward and moving tone, has the power to move people to tears, whether it's the sincere tone or the piercing gaze that shoots straight into one's heart. For Jiang Yongnian and Cao Peter, who have been in the business world for decades, Du Yuan's words are a manifestation of true love, and pretending in front of them is futile. Having seen all sorts of people wearing masks in the business world, they can tell whether someone is sincere or fake at a glance.

  What's been bothering Jiang Xue is this very point, she also thinks of herself as a heartless person, owing an apology to Du Yuan, always hurting him while he forever remains a guardian angel-like figure behind her, feeling somewhat constrained yet still moved by his actions.

  Seeing the old friend in trouble, Cao Pi gave Dong Zha a signal, so-called taking people's money to help others resolve their troubles. The mercenaries from Thailand wouldn't care about right or wrong, in this country they only listened to their boss's orders, even if it meant killing someone, there would be a hefty fee for doing so.

  From the alert position to Zhang Shidong's side, only Hei Yang saw it. For Zhang Shidong's choice on the helicopter, he was still a little interested. Someone tried it for him, and he didn't mind being an onlooker.

  Standing on a small rocky outcropping, with a deep chasm three or four meters below his feet, Zhang Shidong held his mobile phone and took photos in all directions. It seemed as if he had lost his balance, his body leaning forward, his arms waving vigorously to maintain equilibrium, his body tilting sideways, his legs suddenly kicking backward, using this momentum to prop himself up on the rocky outcropping.

  His series of actions were all subsequent reactions derived from human instincts, and even the distant black sheep couldn't pick out any flaws.

  The screen flipped, Dong Cha approached Zhang Shidong's back, and with a casual kick, he was about to kick Zhang Shidong down the cliff. Unexpectedly, the opponent also lost his footing and dodged the kick by chance. As he fell towards the cliff, he kicked backwards with both feet, hitting Dong Cha's other foot that was stepping on the ground. With a rotation force, Zhang Shidong fell down, but Dong Cha's one foot couldn't stabilize his body. Following Zhang Shidong's falling force, he let out a loud cry and flipped off the cliff, rolling several times before crashing into a nearby thicket of weeds.

  Gravel, mud, grass, and branches rolled by, and Dong Zha made a protective gesture, hugging his head with both hands to protect it. The fingers outside the gloves on his hands were scratched, and his camouflage uniform was covered in dust. Despite being bruised in several places, he pretended nothing was wrong and quickly stood up from below.

  "Come and help, there's a rope, that bodyguard fell down." Zhang Shidong shouted to everyone, then muttered to himself: "It's really, I know to be careful, how can you be so careless, this is not the way to be a bodyguard, how can we guarantee the boss's safety."
