Chapter 114 A Plan Comes to Mind
Xie Shuangshuang and Xiaoling felt as if their hearts were about to jump out of their chests when they heard this.
"Gone?"
Xie Shuangshuang grabbed the man's collar and angrily demanded, "What do you mean by 'disappeared'?"
Xiaoling was a step behind Xie Shuangshuang, but she quickly walked up to the person, her face full of confusion and bewilderment.
But she was calmer than Xie Shuangshuang, so she suppressed her temper and said softly, "Don't rush, tell me slowly and clearly."
"Where were the supplies placed, and when did they disappear?"
The man said that after receiving instructions from Xie Shuangshuang last night, they moved the supplies out.
Although the supplies had been handed over, both groups were still guarding them together, so they easily found a gap to take the items out.
They originally planned to leave it there for Xie Shuangshuang to decide what to do with it, but when they went out to rest for a while and came back, the supplies were gone.
They thought Xie Shuangshuang had moved the supplies while they were away, but when they went to ask, they found out that no one else had any supplies at all.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
They clearly produced all those supplies themselves, so how did they disappear in such a short time?
"You mean, those supplies just vanished into thin air? Do you know what you're saying?"
Xiaoling's face was full of disbelief. She thought Xie Shuangshuang's recklessness was annoying enough, but she didn't expect this to be even more outrageous.
"yes……"
The man was actually a little doubtful, but the supplies were indeed missing; they had checked several times and they still couldn't find them.
This is an undeniable fact; he doesn't even know what excuse to use to lie.
"Let's go take a look."
At crucial moments, Xie Shuangshuang was actually calmer than Xiaoling.
"With so many supplies, even if someone took them, they would definitely leave traces."
"We must find those supplies before He Mingzhou and his men arrive."
Xiaoling is feeling a bit flustered right now.
After all, this is no small matter.
If Xie Shuangshuang's embezzlement is confirmed, she will likely become the scapegoat.
Xiaoling was unwilling to be pushed out like this, so now, not only to protect Xie Shuangshuang, but also to protect herself, she had to find supplies as soon as possible!
"good."
Xie Shuangshuang and Xiaoling quickly got to work.
...
The commotion they were making did not escape Xinli's notice.
After all, only Xin Li knew the truth behind the disappearance of the supplies, so while everyone else was running around like headless flies, Xin Li only needed to keep an eye on Xie Shuangshuang and Xiao Ling to know the progress in real time.
Upon learning that Xie Shuangshuang and Xiaoling had already begun searching for supplies, Xinli chuckled.
It's too late for these two to start looking for a way out of these things now.
Moreover, the item is in her space, so even if these two people search high and low, they simply cannot find it.
Xin Li did not intend to take out the supplies directly.
These two have been causing trouble on the island for far too long; she must use this opportunity to deliver a heavy blow to them.
Otherwise, we'll likely have to deal with even more of these kinds of things in the future.
"Xinxin? What are you sitting there for? Come and eat something."
Aunt Yang saw Xinli sitting in the yard, staring silently at the door, and greeted her warmly.
Xinli turned her head and smiled at Aunt Yang: "You're here."
For an entire afternoon, Xie Shuangshuang and Xiaoling avoided the others and went to search for the whereabouts of the supplies.
But it was never found.
Not only that, they also encountered He Mingzhou's team several times, almost giving themselves away.
Xie Shuangshuang became increasingly distraught as she searched.
"What exactly happened? Why did those things suddenly disappear?"
Xie Shuangshuang couldn't help but look at Xiaoling: "Only you know my plan, has it been a betrayal?"
Because Xiaoling had a precedent, Xie Shuangshuang doesn't trust Xiaoling at all now.
Xiaoling, having spent so much time and effort only to get nothing in return, was seething with anger. Hearing this, she retorted indignantly, "Shuangshuang, can you please stop being so unreasonable?"
"This was clearly your mistake. I was worried about you and ran around with you to help you find your things. Why do you still have to hurt me like this?"
Don't you see who's still by your side?
If it weren't for the fear of getting involved, Xiaoling would have preferred to just leave the person there and go.
She really couldn't stand Xie Shuangshuang's spoiled princess temper.
She could tolerate being submissive in the past in order to gain benefits, but now that she has better options, why should she continue to put up with Xie Shuangshuang's temper?
"You! Fine, fine, I knew you couldn't be trusted, which is why I tried to find a solution myself this time. I didn't expect you to have no real intention of helping me."
"This matter is inextricably linked to you. If I'm exposed, you won't get away with it either!"
Xiaoling was so angry she almost cried.
She had never seen such a stupid person.
Xie Shuangshuang dug her own hole and buried it, and now she still has the nerve to talk about her!
"I don't have time to argue with you. You should hurry up and figure out where the supplies are."
“You understand, the longer this drags on, the more dangerous our situation becomes. They might even think we’re trying to embezzle these supplies. If that gets out, Deputy Commander Xie might lose face too.”
Xie Shuangshuang's taut nerves snapped in an instant.
"I can't find it!"
"Damn it, I specifically told those people to keep the things safe, how come they disappeared in the blink of an eye!"
"Someone must have pocketed it all!"
Xie Shuangshuang has no way of finding the supplies and can only start making wild guesses.
She even hoped that someone wanted to take it all for themselves, since that would provide a good reason to drag them out.
But these people were all her people, and they had already searched all the places where those people lived, but there was no trace of supplies.
Those people were completely unfamiliar with the island; even He Mingzhou and his group couldn't find it, so how could outsiders possibly find it?
So even if she didn't want to believe it, Xie Shuangshuang had no choice but to accept the fact that the supplies had simply vanished without a trace.
"Shuangshuang".
Xiaoling initially just watched Xie Shuangshuang go crazy with indifference.
Then a thought suddenly flashed through her mind.
"Did the people on the island say that Xinli brought a lot of dowry with her?"
Xie Shuangshuang didn't know why Xiaoling suddenly brought this up, and she felt a little impatient, but she still needed Xinli right now, so she could only answer the question with a cold face: "Yes."
"Moreover, from my observation, Xin Li and He Mingzhou do not seem to be as lacking in food as the others."
Xiaoling suddenly clapped her hands: "Isn't that right? The amount of food is about the same anyway. As long as everyone finds a large amount of food, who knows whether it's Xinli's own or the missing supplies?"
"As long as we insist that these are the supplies we brought, how could the people on the island not believe us?"
"In order to get food, they have no choice but to believe it, even if they don't, otherwise they will go hungry!"
