Chapter Ninety-One: Treason and Defection



I could tell from Chen Jian's urgent tone that there were indeed some noisy noises coming from below the cave.

He immediately put on his shoes, got off the straw bed, and followed Chen Jian down the mountain.

Sure enough, Lin Xubo was standing in the group of foreigners, looking down at Bai Wei and his group with an air of superiority.

Bai Wei's face turned a deep purplish-red as he stammered and argued with Lin Xubo, but his words failed to get to the point, and everyone in the group wore long faces.

It's obvious that Lin Xubo is making everyone feel bad right now.

Seeing me come down the mountain, a hint of fear suddenly appeared on Lin Xubo's face, but he quickly stopped and looked at me.

"Zhao Sihai, you've been acting like the boss here all this time, but I'm not going to serve you anymore. I advise you to show us what you have now, otherwise when we fight you, you'll suffer heavy casualties, and don't say I didn't care about your lives!"

I've known for a long time that Lin Xubo has always been a fence-sitter.

His previous actions of defending Bai Wei and flattering Paiwei were nothing more than an attempt to gain some advantage over us, a group of poor people stranded on a deserted island.

But now Bai Wei is struggling to take care of himself, and he even has to rely on me, Wang Ping, and Chen Jian to find food for him.

So Lin Xubo felt that Bai Wei was useless again and turned to the foreigners.

Now he's even bringing that bunch of foreigners here to steal our food. This Lin Xubo is really something else.

“What do we have to eat? Since you’ve already sided with them, you must know that we only have a few wolves that we caught yesterday. If you want the wolf meat, we’ll give you the pelts and you can have the meat. It’s no big deal.”

But no sooner had I finished speaking than Lin Xubo snorted coldly.

"Bullshit! Let me tell you. We want the wolf meat, and we want the wolf pelt too! The weather's unpredictable these days, and the wolf pelt can be used as a blanket to keep warm. Do you think I'm stupid? You think you can fool me with a few pieces of wolf meat!"

"Lin Xubo, don't go too far!"

Chen Jian watched from the side, gritting his teeth, and then spoke up to Lin Xubo in rebuttal.

Unexpectedly, Lin Xubo suddenly found himself holding a gun, and with a flick of his wrist, he fired at Chen Jian's feet. The bullet struck the sand pile, sending up a cloud of smoke.

A chill ran through me. What were these foreigners thinking? They actually gave Lin Xubo such an important weapon as a gun.

No wonder Lin Xubo came here so arrogantly to force us to resign; it turns out his men already have something to save their lives!

I looked at Lin Xubo with gritted teeth, but the people opposite them still had quite a few guns in their hands.

I didn't have many bullets left from fighting those wolves yesterday, and I have to use the remaining ones to guard against sneak attacks from these foreigners.

Bai Wei stood to the side, gritting his teeth in anger: "Xiao Lin, haven't I treated you well? When we were at the company, I always thought of you. You said you wanted to go abroad on business, so I reimbursed you through the company's finance department. You said you wanted to stay at the company, so I reserved a manager position for you. When we got to this island, even when others couldn't get food, I made sure to give you some. The only beds in the cabin big enough for two people were just the two of us. And now you've betrayed me! You've really disappointed me!"

"President Bai, it's not that I'm betraying you, it's just that we can't live like this anymore! Look at what we're eating now, it's shellfish, rotten fish and shrimp every day, I'm about to throw up. It's not that I don't want to be with you, it's just that I can't stand it anymore!"

After saying that, he looked at us smugly and said, "But Mr. Bai, if you feel that you can't associate with these scumbags, you can also join these foreign friends. I'll vouch for you, and you won't go hungry."

"Pah! You're talking nonsense! Let me tell you, even if I starve to death, I won't be friends with these foreigners! They're nice to you now because they need something from you, but have you thought about whether they'll still care about you once you're no longer of any use? Xiao Lin, I'm giving you one last chance, come back!"

Unexpectedly, Bai Wei is actually quite tough.

Thinking about it this way, his sense of national righteousness is not bad and deserves praise.

I glanced at Lin Xubo's smug, arrogant expression and tugged at Bai Wei.

"Forget it, he's already run all the way to the other side. Do you really feel comfortable keeping him by your side when he comes back?"

Bai Wei wanted to say something more, but I stopped him.

"I can take care of this wolf for you, but there won't be any other food. Besides, you've already told them about the bushes and apple orchards we found before, so we have nowhere else to find food now. From now on, let's go our separate ways!"

"Also, tell your group of foreign hosts not to add any more food to the campfire, otherwise this time it was wolves, and next time who knows what it will be."

Lin Xubo stared, wanting to say something more. The foreigner behind him seemed a little impatient and tugged at Lin Xubo. Lin Xubo then spoke to him quietly in English.

That's when I realized that Lin Xubo spoke English so well.

"Then hurry up and deal with all these wolves, and bring all the meat to our camp!"

"Why should we? We're all stranded on this deserted island, just trying to make a living. Do you think you can enslave us?"

Wang Xiaoxiao and the others came down from the mountaintop at some point and were standing beside me, all with furrowed brows.

Lin Xubo immediately revealed a lewd expression when he saw Xu Wei and the others.

"Hey, you four are all stranded on a desert island, but you're all doing so well!"

As he spoke, he kept glancing at the chests of the girls.

What I can't stand the most is people bullying women like this, especially since Xiao Qiang is already my woman. Being harassed like this by Lin Xubo really makes me unhappy.

He raised his shotgun and charged at Lin Xubo: "Keep your dog eyes shut! If you keep shooting around like that, I'll shoot you!"

When the group of foreigners behind me saw me raise my gun, they all opened their guns as well, a hint of fear in their eyes.

When Lin Xubo heard me say that, he looked at my dark gun again, probably remembering my accuracy when I killed wolves, and immediately fell silent.

"I can clean the wolf for you, but we have to keep the pelt. As for the wolf meat, you can come and get it yourselves after it's cleaned, otherwise I'll just leave it on the beach and let the fish drag it away."

Lin Xubo quietly translated the words to the group of foreigners. One of them, a bearded man who had been beaten particularly badly by us before, nodded and mumbled something.

Xu Wei frowned and said, "They said let's leave it at that for now, but it sounds like they have a backup plan."

Of course I know Lin Xubo has defected to the enemy, and he will definitely incite these foreigners to attack us.

However, I don't care at all. If Lin Xubo is really reckless, then we can just risk our lives for each other.
