Chapter 3071: Wu Juan

The housewife claimed she hadn’t received any orders.

However, Ning Shu remembered the first thing she had said when she saw her. She had said, ‘I finally found you.’

That meant this person had been looking for her. Yet when Ning Shu asked, she said she hadn’t received any orders.

She was clearly lying.

“Have you found a water source? I’m dying of thirst,” the housewife asked Ning Shu. “Oh, right, my name is Wu Juan. What about you?”

Ning Shu replied, “I’m Xu Xin. I haven’t found any water source. How have you survived without it?”

“I found some sugar beets. I’ve been eating them every day just to barely get by,” Wu Juan said.

Even though she was a housewife, she seemed to know a variety of wild vegetables.

Ning Shu let out an ‘Oh.’

“I’ve been eating ants every day. Why were you looking for me?”

“Since we were lucky enough to run into each other, we should stick together. It’s easier to survive with two people.”

Wu Juan truly looked like a gentle and demure housewife.

Ning Shu nodded and said, “Sure.”

At night, the two of them leaned against a tree.

The forest was filled with the calls of birds, fireflies flickering past, and all kinds of nocturnal creatures coming out.

Ning Shu closed her eyes and released her spiritual consciousness to scan the surroundings.

At the same time, she kept an eye on Wu Juan. Wu Juan must have received an order, too. The only question was what it was.

If she had received the same order as Ning Shu, why did she claim she hadn’t received anything?

Ning Shu wouldn’t actively harm others, but on this isolated island, people’s hearts were unpredictable, especially considering the temptation of money dangling over them.

Everyone here was competing for one thing. With their own interests at stake, who knew when someone might stab her in the back?

Wu Juan was quite cautious and vigilant. From time to time, she’d wake up to check for danger. However, she didn’t disturb Ning Shu.

The night passed without incident.

However, at dawn, when the sky was just starting to lighten, Wu Juan tried gently shaking Ning Shu. She saw that Ning Shu’s eyes were still closed, and she didn’t seem to have woken up.

Wu Juan pursed her lips tightly, drew a dagger, then ruthlessly stabbed downward with all her might.

Ning Shu had been keeping tabs on Wu Juan with her spiritual consciousness. The moment she saw Wu Juan raising a gleaming blade toward her, she opened her eyes and tilted her body.

Wu Juan’s dagger stabbed into the tree behind Ning Shu. It sank in quite deeply. Wu Juan’s face turned pale as she struggled to pull it out but failed.

Ning Shu looked at Wu Juan. “There’s no past grievances between us, why are you trying to kill me?”

If that knife had actually struck her neck, she’d be dead for sure.

Ning Shu had to admit Wu Juan was smart. Killing people at dawn, when they were still groggy from sleep, was a good plan.

Moreover, if she killed someone at night, she’d have to spend the whole night with the corpse.

Wu Juan covered her face with both hands. Her shoulders trembled as she wailed in despair and said, “As long as I kill you, I’ll get ten million! I need ten million!”

Ning Shu shrugged. She needed ten million too. Everyone who joined this show wanted ten million.

“My daughter is only four years old. She’s still so little… Her father abandoned her just because she got sick.”

“If you die, I’ll have the money to get Tiantian treatment.”

Ning Shu narrowed her eyes and looked at the camera tied to the tree. Its red indicator light blinked back at her.
