Chapter 259: Chapter 257: Do You Know That Jiang Ye?

Ye Qing’s emotions were roiling beneath his pupils, and it was evident he was trying to control himself.

Jiang Yan offered a faint smile and gave him a comforting look. “I… I’m okay.”

“That’s good,” Ye Qing’s lips pursed as he averted his gaze from her face.

“Whoo—” With a low whistle, the train began to move forward.

The window was open, leaving a gap of a meter or two between it and the chiseled cliffside.

As the train sped up, cold wind whistled in.

Everyone felt chilly, but no one wanted to shut the window.

Having stayed in the Underground City like ants for too long, even feeling the natural wind had become a luxury.

Jiang Yan reached up to manage her wind-tousled hair and turned to look out the window.

Through the gloomy tunnel, there was a flurry of activity in the conference room on the other side—it seemed they were setting up a projector and screen.

She didn’t see Song Qian; it looked like he was going to miss this train.

Hopefully, nothing serious had happened to him.

With that thought, the train had already left the boundaries of the Underground City.

“By the way, Jiang Yan, that Jiang Ye you know him?” Su Dai recalled the curly-haired young man she had seen in the conference room earlier.

Jiang Yan nodded, “Met him halfway, had encountered him once before.”

Upon hearing this, Kong Wu’s expression froze for a second, and he looked at Jiang Yan, “Sister Yan, it’s good you’re okay. I remember when Brother Song and I went to the snow house to find you, he was there.”

“What do you mean?” the other four queried in unison, their puzzled gazes shifting toward him.

“Before the apocalypse, Jiang Ye served as the CTO for a Fortune 500 internet company,” Qin Lang, standing nearby, added.

He was a slim young man, roughly the same height and age as Kong Wu.

Likely also a loyal follower of Mo Jingsheng.

“What’s a CTO?”

“Chief Technology Officer.”

“Heavens, a Chief Technology Officer at a Fortune 500 internet company, isn’t that really impressive?”

“It indeed is,” Qin Lang continued.

“He had a sister, named Jiang Nana. Before the apocalypse, she was a somewhat famous model in Su City. After the apocalypse, she was kidnapped by Xue Miaomiao’s people and confined in his gilded cage.”

“Jiang Nana?” Jiang Yan and Su Dai exchanged a silent glance, recalling the man who came searching for someone and later fell and was taken to the ICU due to a concussion—Chengcheng Xue:

“It’s said she escaped, didn’t she? That Chengcheng Xue was still searching everywhere for her at the base.”

“She wasn’t successful, she died when she was found.”

Qin Lang’s eyes dimmed slightly. “But before she escaped, Jiang Ye had been searching for unmarried women with good figures, because there was a rumor that the pervert Xue Miaomiao held girls captive in his gilded cage and one could only leave by a one-for-one exchange.

He had a penchant for bespoke cosmetic surgeries, so he wasn’t particular about the face, as long as the figure was right.

However, Jiang Ye wasn’t successful, perhaps because he couldn’t bring himself to actually do it.”

Jiang Yan: “…”

So, Jiang Ye was showering her with solicitudes before they even knew each other, all because he wanted to use her as a replacement?

It was absurdly inconceivable.

Kong Wu glanced at Jiang Yan and said, “Thankfully, Sister Yan, you’re safe.”

They had even joked at the time that Jiang Ye was her boyfriend.

After learning about his true background, they had been frightened for a while.

“That’s also ultimately why we put him on the base’s core personnel list, but indeed, the base was also in need of people at the time,” Qin Lang added.

Listening, Su Dai couldn’t help but furiously curse. “Xue Miaomiao, that freaking psychopath, truly deserves to die! A thousand deaths wouldn’t be too many!”

Sun Jingtao squeezed her hand, comforting her, “Don’t worry, we’ll find him eventually.”

Jiang Yan furrowed her brow:

“So, Xue Miaomiao isn’t at the Flame Base anymore?”
