Chapter 1179: Just for the Treasure

This was a little habit of hers, but she grabbed at empty air.

The pendant on her neck was gone; it had been gone for a month, ever since they had inexplicably woken up on this island.

Shi Youxuan suddenly stood up, ran under the surveillance camera, put her hands on her hips, and cursed at it: "Zhu Qingrui, you bastard, if you want the Treasure, just say you want the Treasure. Why play these mind games and imprison us on this Island?"

"Even if you imprison us on this Island for a lifetime, you won't get what you want. I hope it infuriates you to death!"

"You Zhu Family members have no other skills in your whole lives, right? You only know how to hide in unspeakable corners and do unspeakable things. The old one is like this, and the young one is the same. Truly, dragons beget dragons, phoenixes beget phoenixes, and a rat's son will know how to dig a hole..."

She cursed for an hour straight before stopping.

Sheng Hanyu handed over a glass of water: "You've worked hard, my wife. Drink some water."

She took it and downed it in one gulp, only then realizing that at some point, the wind had died down and the storm had ended.

"Let's go, let's go catch some sharks."

The couple walked away from the camera hand in hand, but suddenly, Zhu Qingrui's voice came from the camera behind them: "How did you guess it was me?"

Shi Youxuan:...

Huh!

So the camera wasn't just for monitoring them?

It could also be used for communication?

She regretted it so much; she regretted not cursing like this sooner.

Shi Youxuan turned back and said to the camera: "Does this even need guessing? The only people who knew the pendant on my neck was the key to the Treasure were you brothers. If no one else knew, who else could it be but you?"

Applause came from the other side, accompanied by praise: "Smart. No wonder my father and brother both fell into your hands; you really do have some tricks up your sleeve."

Shi Youxuan corrected him: "You're wrong. Not a single one of them died at my hands. Their deaths were all of their own making. If you don't court death, you won't die."

Zhu Qingrui: "I know you have a silver tongue and are especially good at talking. When it comes to eloquence, I can't beat you, and I don't want to debate with you."

"But there is one thing I want you to know. Don't think I can't see through the little tricks you've been playing these days. You're trying to train the sharks to leave this place, right?"

"You and your husband shouldn't waste your energy. It's useless. You will never have the chance to leave the Island in this lifetime."

Shi Youxuan: "That's not certain. We will leave here very soon. Don't think that by setting up a camera and a few sharks on the island, you can trap us. Those few sharks aren't much use, but they aren't completely useless either; they're quite tasty..."

Lose the battle, but don't lose the spirit.

Even when in a disadvantageous position, one must not lose their momentum!

Strategically despise the enemy while tactically taking them seriously—this was something a great man once said, and Shi Youxuan carried it out thoroughly.

Zhu Qingxiang was furious.

He was meticulous and could keep his cool better than his peers, but he was still a bit immature in front of Shi Youxuan.

He was angry and began to counterattack: "Do you think you can live a life of seclusion in paradise on the Island? Don't dream. Outside, because of the two of you, things are already turned upside down and very lively."

"By the way, you probably don't know yet, but your in-laws are dead. Now Qi Heng has become the president of L Country, but he believes his parents were killed by you two. He has issued a Red Wanted Order globally; dead or alive, there is a huge reward for catching you both!"

"Shameless!"

This time, when Zhu Qingrui was cursed, he didn't feel angry at all; he felt quite good.

"Right, I am shameless. What are you going to do about it?"

"The apple of your eye, whom you held in the palm of your hand, has now dropped out of school. Qi Heng doesn't want her anymore either. The two of them have completely turned against each other and are fighting to the death..."

Shi Youxuan left the camera and started looking for stones everywhere.

Finding a stone on the Island that could smash a camera had become a difficult task!

This island was composed of a single piece of reef; there were no loose stones at all.

But she was so angry that she had to do something to relieve the hatred in her heart.

Her husband grabbed her hand, and the two of them rushed into the old man's room.

They dismantled his bed and used the bed slats to smash the camera!

Of course, there were other ways, but this was just more satisfying.

The bed was made of wood and easy to take apart. In a few moments, it was finished. Each of them held a wooden slat and returned to the camera's location, smashing it to pieces with a loud "clang-bang!"

The camera was smashed to smithereens, and they felt vented.

The couple sat down on the ground.

Shi Youxuan asked her husband: "Do you think if that little brat sees we smashed the camera, he'll stop sending food to the island and starve us to death?"

Sheng Hanyu: "No, doing this will only make him happier."

He was right.

Zhu Qingrui was indeed very happy. A long-lost smile appeared on his face, and he said to the butler in a gentle tone: "You don't need to go back for these two days, so you don't become a punching bag."

The old man on the island responsible for purchasing daily necessities spoke up: "Second Young Master, I should go back. It doesn't matter if I suffer a little, but it would be bad if they discovered the secret passage on the island."

He was not deaf or mute; he could speak.

He was just pretending to be deaf and mute in front of Shi Youxuan and her husband.

A sharp glint appeared in the old man's eyes, a stark contrast to his dullness on the island. He was a confidant of Zhu Yiwen, having watched the two Zhu Family brothers grow up from childhood, and he treated them like his own children.

Zhu Qingrui thought for a moment and agreed: "Alright. When you go back, you must be extremely careful. Remember, your safety is the top priority. No matter what, you must protect yourself. I only have you as a relative now; you cannot have the slightest mishap."

The butler was moved, tears welling up in the corners of his eyes: "Yes, Young Master, I understand."

It was already late at night when the butler returned from outside the island.

When he discovered that his room had been vandalized, he was shocked!

His first reaction was whether that couple had discovered the secret passage.

But he soon relaxed; they hadn't.

They had broken into his room and destroyed his bed, but they hadn't discovered the secret passage in his room.

He tidied up simply, haphazardly pieced together a bed shape on the floor with the remaining wooden boards, and went to sleep on it.

The next day.

Early morning.

The old man prepared breakfast as usual, brought it to the door for the two of them, and then left to attend to some chores, as if nothing had happened.

The two of them got up, both leaning on the windowsill, watching the old man's back and commenting on him.

Shi Youxuan: "This old man is not simple. Every time he can disappear like a ghost and suddenly appear without a sound. Neither of us even reacted at all; there is something fishy about this."

Sheng Hanyu:...

"Can you stop talking nonsense? Hurry up and think of a way to find the secret passage."

Yesterday, the two of them had smashed the camera in anger, and their desire to escape had become particularly strong. In a moment of inspiration, they suddenly thought that they should look for a breakthrough from the old man.

According to the date, the old man should have returned last night.

Therefore, the husband and wife did not sleep at all, keeping watch in the room to observe the movement outside.

There was no movement outside, and they did not know when they had fallen asleep. In any case, when they woke up, it was already dawn, and the old man had not only returned but had also prepared breakfast.
