Chapter Twelve: Cold-blooded, Ruthless, and Cruel



Moreover, the production team didn't stipulate that everyone had to get through the month safely to win.

Sure enough, no one ate the fruit and roasted meat that Mo Jingjing left for them. They even tacitly isolated her and suddenly reduced their interactions with her.

Perfect, Mo Jingjing also got to relax.

Gradually, the seven-person team split into a five-person team and a two-person team.

The five-person team acted mysteriously every day, leaving early and returning late. Each of them looked exhausted when they came back and went straight to sleep.

The two-person team had it easier; Jia Nan clung tightly to Mo Jingjing's leg the whole time, but it wasn't for nothing.

Mo Jingjing was in charge of finding food, such as barbecue, while Jia Nan was in charge of cleaning up afterward, handling household garbage, doing laundry, and still managing to free up two or three hours each day to write and sing songs.

Unfortunately, she didn't bring her guitar.

This situation lasted for about ten days.

During this period, the weather on the deserted island was exceptionally good, with bright sunshine.

Just as Jia Nan couldn't help but marvel at how lucky they were and how great the weather was, Mo Jingjing looked at the vast and calm sea in the distance and fell into deep thought.

Her keen sixth sense told her that this good weather wouldn't last long; it was just the calm before the storm.

Sure enough, something happened the next day.

That day, Mo Jingjing was resting in the wooden cabin when she suddenly heard an urgent shout, "Jingjing, Mo Jingjing, something bad has happened! Something terrible has happened!"

"Don't rush, tell me slowly, what happened?"

Hearing the shouts, Mo Jingjing finally came out of the wooden house. Her calm appearance only made Jia Nan more anxious.

But because he had run too fast, his heart was racing, he was panting, and he was speaking in a slightly out-of-breath manner, "Yes, it's Mu Yaya and Cheng Nuo!"

"No, I ran too fast just now, I need to catch my breath."

Whew~

After saying this, Jia Nan stood still and began to adjust herself. After a while, she calmed down a bit, looked at Mo Jingjing, and told her the whole story.

"Jingjing, you don't know, but those five of them have been secretly going out to cut down trees and build logs and small boats. The boats were just finished when these people wanted to go out to sea to fish."

“I don’t know about others, but I do know these people. They have no experience in sailing or fishing. They’re about to go out to sea, and I’m worried something might happen. Jingjing, we’re all guests here on this variety show. If something happens to them, it could be fatal!”

Finally, Jia Nan expressed her concerns and suggestions.

To her surprise, as soon as she finished speaking, she saw Mo Jingjing turn and leave.

As Mo Jingjing walked away, the live stream chat erupted in curses, with some netizens angrily accusing her of being cold-hearted, ruthless, petty, and vindictive.

In these people's minds, it seemed as if their lives were already in Mo Jingjing's hands.

However, Jia Nan, who rushed over to inform Mo Jingjing, showed no surprise on her face.

Instead, she even slightly curled the corners of her mouth.

However, to everyone's surprise, Mo Jingjing reappeared less than half a minute later, this time with a rope around her neck.

"What are you standing there for? Aren't you going to save people, or are you just saying it and don't really intend to?"

Returning to Jia Nan, Mo Jingjing stopped and questioned him.

The cold, calm voice, along with those sharp eyes, sent chills down Jia Nan's spine.

So, she figured it out, didn't she?

"No, I didn't mean that. Time is of the essence, let's go now."

After a moment, Jia Nan came to her senses and hurriedly spoke.

The weather on a deserted island can change in an instant.

One minute the sun is shining brightly, the next minute it may be covered with dark clouds and thunder and lightning.

On a deserted island without streetlights, relying solely on sunlight and torches for illumination, the people on the island immediately sensed when the sun was blocked.

"What... what's going on? Why did it suddenly get dark? I hope it won't rain heavily for a while."

Mu Yaya looked up at the sky, and a sudden sense of unease arose in her heart.

She wanted to back out.

"Mu Yaya, what do you mean by this? You're not chickening out, are you? You were the one who suggested we separate from Mo Jingjing first. Now that we've gone through so much trouble to finally build the raft, you're saying these discouraging things again!"

Yan Yi, who has a fiery temper, immediately retorted to Mu Yaya.

The others couldn't stand Mu Yaya saying such discouraging things at this time, and they all started to criticize her.

"Exactly! Mu Yaya, we've been living here for almost half a month now. When have you ever seen it rain or even a downpour on the island, you coward? If you're scared, just say so!"

"Ya Ya, it's really wrong to say things like that before going to sea."

"Mo Yaya, this is a one-time exception, and there will be no next time!"

Seeing herself surrounded by the crowd, Mu Yaya got angry and, as if in a huff, boarded the boat first. "Hmph, why are you all being so fierce here? I just said it casually, I didn't say I wasn't going. As for you guys, what are you dawdling for? Hurry up and get on board!"

At this moment, in this environment, the tactic of provocation works on everyone.

Soon, all five of them were on the boat.

When Mo Jingjing arrived, they were just about to set off.

"Stop!"

Mo Jingjing looked at the group of fearless people and shouted loudly.

She should have kept quiet, because her shout instantly energized the five people.

Especially Mu Yaya, who had long disliked her, pointed directly at Jia Nan, "Jia Nan, it really is you! I was wondering why I felt like there was a pair of eyes watching me these past few days. Humph, Mo Jingjing, you still think you're the captain? Let me tell you, you're just Jia Nan's captain!"

"The five of us have already formed a new team, we don't need you to take command!"

"Exactly! Mo Jingjing, I know you're very capable, but the facts prove that we can eat our fill every day without you. Everyone here wants to become famous. Don't think we can't see through your hypocrisy!"

"Mo Jingjing, we're not on the same team now. I advise you not to meddle in other people's business!"

have a finger in the pie

Hearing those four words from Cheng Nuo's mouth, Mo Jingjing's lips curled into a cold smile.

Oh…

So that's what they all think.

After listening to what these people said, Mo Jingjing became less anxious.

They even found a tree to lean against and watched them go out to sea.

Seeing that she wasn't in a hurry, Jia Nan became anxious. "Jingjing, why are you standing here without moving? Are you really angry? Are you going to hold a grudge against them? Human life is no joke. Look, the dark clouds are coming. Before long, the storm will really come!"

Seeing Jia Nan's anxiety, Mo Jingjing's gaze grew even colder. "So, you knew the storm was coming today. Since you were so worried about their safety, why didn't you stop them first thing in the morning?"
