Chapter 298: Tianxin, I’m Coming for You (1)

There wasn’t any electricity, and there was a thunderstorm out there. The atmosphere was already very tense.

Yao Qinghan’s piercing scream caused everyone to grow even tenser.

“Who’s touching me?”

Yao Qinghan was so frightened that she was about to cry.

Mu Yuluo turned her head to look. “Who’s touching you? Aah!”

“What’s the matter?”

Ye Tianxin saw that Mu Yuluo’s expression looked odd, so she added some dried twigs into the fire. The twigs caught fire immediately.

That was when everyone saw a snake’s head peeking at them over Yao Qinghan’s shoulder.

The snake poked out its tongue, and it looked rather scary.

Most girls did not like anything that crawled.

However, Xiao Mengmeng was an exception. She took a step forward and nimbly grabbed the snake where its heart was.

“It’s such a pity that we don’t have a pot. Otherwise, we can make snake soup. Snake meat tastes really good.”

Ji Nuan handed Xiao Mengmeng the shovel when she heard that. “I’ve cleaned this already.”

“Then I shall show you guys my culinary skills.”

Ye Tianxin was the first to refuse. “I don’t want it.”

She really could not eat snake meat.

At this moment, Ye Tianxin could still refuse. Fish and other seafood would suffice. However, only time could tell when she would not only consume snake meat, but even a scorpion would taste delicious to her.

The wind howled outside the cell. The rain was carried by the wind and loudly hit against the walls of the cell, making a terrifying sound. Thunders roared, and lightning flashed.

Yao Qinghan still looked very scared. She opened her mouth several times, wanting to say something.

Then she decided to keep to herself what she wanted to say.

Under the dim light, Xiao Mengmeng, Wei Weiwei, Mu Yuluo, and Ji Nuan ate the snake.

Time passed, and everyone felt tired.

The six helped each other to the third floor. Because there was no light, Ji Nuan had no choice to take a few burning flints with the shovel and led the others up the stairs slowly.

They all did not sleep well that night.

The thunderstorm lasted through the night. During the wee hours, Yao Qinghan suddenly woke up. She was sobbing. Then she muttered, “I am sorry. I am the spy.”

The other five were speechless.

Ye Tianxin was the first to speak. “I knew long ago.”

“So did I.”

“Me too.”

Yao Qinghan was shocked. “How…how did you all find out?”

…

…

“Captain Qie, someone’s looking for you.”

It was already late at night, and Qie Yiyan had already cleaned up and was about to go to bed. However, he received a phone call from the guard room saying that someone was looking for him.

Qie Yiyan had no choice but to put on a camo shirt and wear slippers before he walked over to the guard room.

Li Qingcang stood at the entrance of the guard room in his training clothes. He was tall, and the street lamp made his shadow stretch very long.

“Qie Yiyan.”

Li Qingcang approached Qie Yiyan as soon as he saw him coming. Then he grabbed his collar.

When the people in the guard room saw the altercation, they hurriedly surrounded Li Qingcang.

“It’s alright. He’s one of us.”

Qie Yiyan waved his hand at the people in the guard room.

“I knew you would come for Ye Tianxin. Li Qingcang, let me say this first, if you are here to talk me out of letting her go, then I am sorry. I can’t do that.”

Li Qingcang moved his arm, and he and Qie Yiyan started fighting.

Qie Yiyan had once been a good fighter in the military. Even though he was now disadvantaged because of his weight, he was still agile…an agile fatso.

“I have observed Ye Tianxin for a month, and she is someone with great potential. I will not let her go.”

Qie Yiyan knew that the Jing family and the Li family would not let him have Ye Tianxin so easily. However, he had not expected Li Qingcang to come so quickly.
