Even After My Death-Chapter 185 - 138: Jiang Ning Wants to Escape from the Desolate Island (Two in One)_2

Chapter 185: Chapter 138: Jiang Ning Wants to Escape from the Desolate Island (Two in One)_2

Wang Ye suddenly sat up straight, "That’s right, the program crew installed surveillance in this attic. They said that if there was anything else, we could stand under the surveillance cameras and bring it up, and they would see it immediately on their end."

He looked up and quickly found two cameras on the ceiling.

"It’s no use," Yuan Wei shook his head, "If someone on the program crew was actually watching, they would have contacted you through this camera long ago. You’ve been here so many days, and they haven’t contacted you, I’m afraid..."

Everyone’s mood suddenly dropped and became heavy, and no one spoke for quite a while.

Jiang Ning chewed slowly, finishing her bowl of noodles clean, then stood up from the table and left, with Qi Xingzhou closely following her.

Everyone unconsciously looked towards the two until seeing Jiang Ning holding the bowl walking into the kitchen. Only when the sound of running water came out from the kitchen did everyone realize that Jiang Ning seemed to be washing dishes.

"Let’s wait a bit longer," Wang Ye lit a cigarette for himself and said, "With so many of us here, the program crew can’t possibly just abandon us. Have all of you arrived? Is there anyone else waiting for rescue at the seaside?"

As his words fell, Huo Miao turned pale, lowered her head in sorrow, and started to sob, "My brother is dead. He had suffered severe injuries before, and also couldn’t eat well or sleep well. Last night, he slipped while we were on the move and fell down the cliff."

[Tsk tsk tsk, she really dares to say it.]

[Speechless, although we know Huo Ziheng has been eliminated, in their perception, Huo Ziheng is dead now. Huo Miao knows the cause of Huo Ziheng’s death more clearly than anyone else, yet she chose to hide it, how is this any different from being ungrateful?]

[(╬◣д◢) I’m so angry, suddenly recalling that news from a while ago, where a couple took their child to the seaside to play, didn’t look after their own kid properly, let the child be swept away by the waves, a nineteen-year-old guy jumped down and saved the child but got drained of strength and sank down, when others found him, he was already breathless... His family wanted to apply for the title of a courageous citizen for him, but the couple refused to admit that the young man sacrificed himself to save their child, what Huo Miao is doing now is no different from what that couple did!]

[I saw that news too, the couple was especially shameless, saying that it wasn’t them who told the guy to go save someone! That he died because of his own lack of ability and blindly playing the hero! I’m utterly disgusted, so angry that I want to throw acid on them!]

[What? There’s actually such a thing!]

Wang Ye never expected such a heavy matter had occurred.

He looked at Huo Miao apologetically, "Sorry, my condolences."

Huo Miao didn’t say anything, just lowered her head and continued sobbing sadly.

Jiang Ning finished washing the dishes and came out of the kitchen, having overheard part of their conversation.

Seeing Huo Miao crying over the table, Jiang Ning raised an eyebrow. What’s the use of just sitting here crying? If she had any intention, she should have gone to the forest to check. Even if Huo Ziheng were dead, she ought to find his bones or clothes and construct a burial mound for him to rest in peace, right?

Jiang Ning picked up a saw and walked outside.

[Hm? Where did Jiang Ning get that chainsaw from?]

[Where’s Jiang Ning going now?]

[Hahaha, is she planning to chop wood?]

Huo Miao couldn’t stop crying once she started. When she finished, she realized that only she and Mu Mingxuan were still sitting at the dining table.

"Miaomiao." Mu Mingxuan, his face full of struggle, seemed to have made up his mind and said, "Why don’t we go back to the place where Ziheng slipped and had the accident yesterday to check? Maybe Ziheng is still alive..."

[Yo, at least you, lad, have a bit of a conscience.]

"No, I won’t go!" Huo Miao’s eyes flashed a trace of panic, and she quickly shook her head in refusal, vehemently against Mu Mingxuan’s suggestion.

[...I knew it.]

"Why?" Mu Mingxuan didn’t understand. He thought Huo Miao was afraid of seeing Huo Ziheng’s remains, so he tried to put a positive spin on it, "We’ll just look around the vicinity. What if your second brother only fainted from the fall... If he climbed back up and couldn’t find us, think how heartbroken he’d be."

The more Mu Mingxuan said this, the more frightened Huo Miao became.

If Huo Ziheng was really dead that would still be better. But if Huo Ziheng was still alive, wouldn’t everybody learn that it was she who pushed Huo Ziheng down yesterday?

Huo Miao was so scared by her own guess that her face turned completely pale. But if she kept refusing, might Mu Mingxuan think she was too cold-hearted?

After all, that was the second brother who had cherished her like his own little sister since they were kids.
