Chapter 184: Chapter 138: Jiang Ning Wants to Escape from the Desolate Island (Two in One)

Jiang Ning was stunned for a second but quickly caught on.

That big, fat fish just now was actually Qi Xingzhou...?

Jiang Ning couldn’t help looking up, speculating about the location of Qi Xingzhou’s room. His room also had a balcony, and coincidentally, the balcony faced that river.

So, he was on the balcony and saw her standing by the river and thought she wanted to eat fish? So he had his fat fish friend deliver itself to her?

Jiang Ning couldn’t help but smile, "I like it."

Just as she was about to say something else, Jian Tian Tian suddenly spoke up, "Alright! The noodles are ready, everyone can come and eat now."

Jian Tian Tian’s voice was clear and bright. As soon as she called out, Ling Bo and the others who had been looking around hurried in. Jiang Ning took her bowl of noodles and sat down with Qi Xingzhou.

Nong Chun looked around and said, "It seems Director Wang Ye hasn’t shown up yet. Hasn’t he gotten up?"

"I’m up, I’m up. You guys go ahead and eat, I’ll be right there after I wash my hands." Wang Ye’s voice came from the washroom, and soon after, he emerged, shaking his hands dry.

Everyone sat around the dining table, ten people forming a circle.

Seeing them slurping noodles with relish, Wang Ye laughed and asked, "By the way, where’s the film crew? I forgot to ask yesterday. Why didn’t they come with you guys? Without the cameramen, how can you record anything?"

It was so sudden when Ling Bo and the others arrived last night, and they were all in such a sorry state that he had forgotten to ask about this.

As Wang Ye spoke, the previously harmonious atmosphere suddenly shifted.

Yuan Wei looked down at his bowl of noodles and suddenly found them less appetizing.

[Hahaha, we finally come to this topic.]

[Looks like there’s about to be one more panicked person.]

[But really, the absence of the film crew and rescue for over a week is hard to justify...]

Seeing everyone’s silence, Ling Bo, who was more familiar with Wang Ye, explained, "Director Wang, here’s what happened..."

Ling Bo then recounted the events that took place on the day the film crew brought them to the island.

After listening, Wang Ye felt it was all so surreal, almost unrealistic: "You’re saying that the crew members who brought us to the island had an accident on their way back? The film crew rushed to rescue them... and then they never showed up again?"

Ling Bo nodded, "That’s exactly what happened."

"Impossible, right? How have you been getting by without the film crew for so many days?" Wang Ye’s skeptical gaze swept over everyone, "Are you playing some kind of prank on me?"

It’s no wonder Wang Ye was in disbelief. If it hadn’t been for their days of waiting by the seaside without the film crew showing up, Ling Bo and the others would never have imagined such a bizarre incident could happen to them!

"It’s true," Mu Mingxuan frowned, "We have no reason to joke about this. If you don’t believe it, you can go out and see for yourself if the film crew has followed us here."

Wang Ye put down his chopsticks and indeed went out to look.

As Wang Ye said before, everyone was recording a variety show, and without the film crew’s cameramen, how could they continue recording?

Even if the film crew were trying to prank him, they couldn’t possibly be without a single cameraman, right?

A few minutes later, Wang Ye came back in, his expression one of deep disappointment.

Yuan Wei finished his noodles, even slurping up the broth until nothing was left. Putting down his chopsticks, he said to Wang Ye, "Director Wang, like you, we also couldn’t believe the film crew wouldn’t return. We waited by the seaside hungry for over a week. We threw stones, lit beacons, called for help... but nothing came, and we had no choice but to come to this safety house."

"How could this be... It’s been so many days. Why hasn’t the film crew or any rescue come?" Wang Ye frowned as he returned to his seat.

Ling Bo asked, "Director Wang, you’ve been here alone for so many days. Could the film crew really be at ease? Did they tell you how to contact them in an emergency? Or, do you have a phone or something on you?"

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately felt that Ling Bo made a good point.

How could the film crew’s staff feel at ease leaving two mystery guests here, then simply walk away?

What if something unexpected happened?

"I don’t have a phone. They took it from me as soon as I boarded the dinghy," Wang Ye shook his head, "The film crew said this Desolate Island is very safe, they had professionals inspect it beforehand, and there are no other large predatory animals. As for the river outside, although it’s somewhat deep, it’s safe as long as you keep your distance."

Upon hearing this, everyone’s disappointment deepened.
