Chapter 189: Chapter 139: Jiang Ning is the Desolate Island Judge (Two in One)_3

Seeing the noodles and eggs in Yuan Wei and Lin Qi’s hands, Ling Bo quickly figured out what they were up to.

Yuan Wei and Lin Qi had originally planned to secretly hoard some food because they had just taken advantage of the situation to check all the possible storage places in the kitchen and discovered that not much food was left. At this rate, within a week, all the food would be gone.

After discovering their intentions, Ling Bo initially wanted to stop them, but soon Yuan Wei persuaded him, saying, "Ling Bo, there’s no benefit for you in exposing us. You might as well hide some for yourself, too. We can pretend we didn’t see anything."

The memory of starving a few days ago was fresh in their minds—they never wanted to experience the gnawing hunger again!

So Ling Bo joined the duo in hoarding food.

Later, when Mu Mingxuan came downstairs for a drink after leaving Huo Miao’s room, he stumbled upon the three men stealing food... Birds of a feather flock together, and Yuan Wei brought out the same argument he’d used on Ling Bo in an attempt to persuade Mu Mingxuan, but before he could speak, Mu Mingxuan, true to his businessman roots with the greed and ruthlessness of a capitalist, had already made up his mind.

After glancing at the dwindling food supply in the kitchen, Mu Mingxuan proposed outright that the four of them collaborate to claim all the remaining food.

Ruthlessly, Mu Mingxuan stated, "We’ve already taken some, why not take it all? The more we have, the longer we’ll survive."

Ling Bo hesitated, "If we take everything... what will the others eat..."

With a sweep of his gaze and a hint of warning, Mu Mingxuan replied, "There’s plenty of food in the wild, by the mountains and the water. Or are you saying you don’t want to cooperate with me?"

Ling Bo was silent.

Yuan Wei seemed somewhat tempted.

Nodding, Mu Mingxuan said, "Let’s form a new alliance. Let bygones be bygones regarding the unpleasantness in the forest. If we guard these supplies, even if the TV crew doesn’t rescue us, I am the Mu family’s eldest son. Once the Mu Family notices something amiss, they’ll definitely send someone to find me. And when the rescue team arrives, I am willing to bring you all out at no cost."

Aside from Huo Ziheng, who was already dead, there were now ten guests left alive.

These four adult men were the backbone of the guests and, if they cooperated, invincible.

Director Wang was getting on in years, Jian Tiantian was a weak woman, Nong Chun was just 19 years old, the youngest guest, and a fragile college student was hardly a threat. The only tricky part was Jiang Ning and Qi Xingzhou.

Mu Mingxuan frowned at the memory of being pinned down by Jiang Ning and said, "When Jiang Ning comes back, we’ll all jump him."

After exchanging looks, Yuan Wei and the others nodded.

After reaching a preliminary consensus, the four not only moved everything from the kitchen but also divided up the remaining fruits and snacks in the living room.

When Jian Tiantian woke up and came downstairs to cook lunch for everyone, she discovered that the rice and flour that had been in the kitchen were gone!

It wasn’t until after hearing Huo Miao’s mockery and threats of eviction that she realized the food had been hidden away by Mu Mingxuan and the others.

Enraged, Jian Tiantian got into a dispute with Huo Miao. When the other guests heard the commotion, they emerged, and the four men, standing together, admitted to emptying the food supplies. Director Wang furiously argued with them, but Mu Mingxuan and his cohort didn’t really care about Director Wang as they knew he couldn’t contact the TV crew, let alone Jian Tiantian and Nong Chun.

[Mu Mingxuan and his bunch are so disgusting!]

[I must have been blind, I thought Ling Bo was decent, but it turns out... he can’t resist temptation either!]

[And Yuan Wei and Lin Qi! I always liked them so much, one bright and cheerful, the other shy and socially awkward, but the first to steal food were these two, ugh, disgusting!]

[Hurry, take them down! Throw them all into the river!]

[Exactly! Food is life in this situation. If they won’t let you live, then everyone should perish together! Aba aba aba...]

The comments were scathing and filthy, and everyone was waiting for Jiang Ning to take action and throw the first punch for justice on the desolate island.

They weren’t sure if Jiang Ning could take on all four, but there was also Qi Xingzhou standing beside her, intimidating just with his height... Perhaps, they would succeed?

They couldn’t simply allow these villains to quash Jiang Ning’s authority!

Hearing Jian Tiantian’s recount, Jiang Ning’s eyes darkened. "Let’s go, back to see what’s happening."
