Being a villain in apocalyptic writing

They are Luan Ning’s parents.

The novel does not focus much on Luan Ning. After all, he is just a tool, a functional role created to provide information to the heroine.

The article only introduced that he came from a medical family, studied Chinese and Western clinical medicine in college, and had extraordinary medical skills.

But no matter how excellent his medical skills were, they could not change the ending where he died alone in a refugee camp while trying to stop the pursuers.

He saved many people, but in the end, no trace of his body was left, only clothes and dirt were collected by the heroine.

Perhaps this ending is a bit tragic, so when Luan Ning died, the author spent some time and effort to describe a detail:

“He came all the way here in search of his parents, but he never had the chance to know that, beneath this land where he had saved so many people, his parents had long been sleeping in the darkness. But now, they are reunited.”

Apart from the laboratory, Jiang Ye could not think of any other reason in this city that required him to send people underground.

The above information was enough for her to venture out and explore various places.

There were footsteps outside. Jiang Ye put away the light screen, quickly tidied himself up, and pushed the wheelchair out.

Before I opened the door, I heard Luan Ning's voice outside:

"Jiang Ye, are you here?"

Jiang Ye was a little surprised, but still responded quickly: "Yes."

She opened the door and saw Luan Ning standing in the yard.

The moonlight was dim, and he had his back to the moon. There was a blurry halo around his figure, and the expression on his face could not be seen clearly.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Ye pushed the wheelchair out without changing his expression.

"I want to ask you something alone." Luan Ning stood where he was, looking in her direction.

Jiang Ye pushed the wheelchair closer and was finally able to see his face more clearly.

Luan Ning's eyes are very beautiful, so beautiful that she can't hide her emotions.

Even though he tried his best to maintain a normal expression, the doubt and hesitation in his eyes were still clearly revealed in the moonlight.

They had only been separated for less than two hours. How had she offended this ancestor?

Jiang Ye muttered the reason in his heart, but pretended to be calm on the surface: "It's rare that you have something to ask me, please go ahead."

Luan Ning lowered his eyelashes, pondered for a few seconds, and asked: "I heard that you were the first to bring up the term 'nutrient solution'?"

Who told you that?

Jiang Ye raised an eyebrow, probably knowing why he suddenly became so defensive, but he didn't know whose "kindness" this was.

"Yes." This matter could not be hidden from anyone, so Jiang Ye admitted it readily.

Luan Ning's expression changed slightly: "You seem to be very familiar with the nutrient solution, why?"

Jiang Ye narrowed his eyes and asked slowly: "Why do you say I am familiar with it?"

Luan Ning was silent for a while before saying, "You know the nutrient solution and where to buy it. When you heard more details, you were very calm..."

"Doctor Luan, you were very calm when I told you the story. This cannot be used as evidence that you doubt me."

This kind of direct confrontation was still somewhat unfamiliar to Luan Ning, so he could only point out, "You're avoiding the topic."

"Yes." Jiang Ye smiled bitterly and admitted, "Because my answer is true, but you won't believe it."

"You haven't told me yet." Luan Ning frowned and said seriously, "If it makes sense, I will believe it!"

Jiang Ye was slightly startled and lowered his head: "Okay. My answer is that I just happened to hear people talking about 'nutrient solution'. They were cautious, so I remembered it."

Luan Ning was stunned.

Jiang Ye looked at his expression and smiled faintly: "You see, coincidences don't make sense to you."

Luan Ning didn't respond. After being stunned at first, he asked seriously, "Where did you hear that?"

"Outside the refugee camp." Jiang Ye said, "I can also tell you that I don't know them."

The words Luan Ning wanted to ask stopped at his lips, his crow-feather eyelashes trembled slightly, hiding the thoughts in his eyes.

He tried to think of some other key points that could prove that what Jiang Ye said was true.

But Jiang Ye continued, "Also, if the people who told you these details felt that I was so calm at the time, as if I had known the whole story for a long time, then it only shows that I was very successful."

Luan Ning looked up at her, his eyes widened in surprise.

"If you want to defraud someone, you have to deceive them first. Judging from the result, even if I only knew about 'nutrient solution', didn't I make things clear?" Jiang Ye tilted his head and smiled.

"..."

Luan Ning fell into silence for a long time.

Jiang Ye was not in a hurry either. She leaned back in her chair, folded her hands casually, and squinted her eyes to bask in the moonlight.

In fact, if she were in his place, she might not believe what she said, after all, she couldn't provide any solid evidence.

But the good thing about this matter is that both sides are talking nonsense and neither can bite the other to death.

At most, Luan Ning's attitude, which had just softened a little, dropped to freezing point again, so just give her more medicine.

……

However, time passed little by little, and Luan Ning still didn't speak.

Jiang Ye opened her eyes in surprise. Luan Ning was still standing there, with his head down and his thin back bent a little.

His body was lying sideways, with half of his face hidden in the darkness. Jiang Ye could only see his slightly furrowed brows, his drooping eyelashes covering his eyes, and his face showing forbearance and hesitation.

Is it so difficult...

Luan Ning is a really stubborn person at times.

Jiang Ye felt amused.

If it was someone else, she probably wouldn't explain any more, but Luan Ning...

Luan Ning is different after all.

Jiang Ye pondered for a moment, then slowly asked: "Luan Ning, have you found any news about your parents?"

Her tone was no longer respectful as before, and her voice was very light, like a fleeting mist, but it made Luan Ning's pupils shrink suddenly and his face changed drastically.

He suddenly raised his head and took a few steps towards Jiang Ye: "Why do you know?"

"So did you find it?" Jiang Ye had a smile on her face, her eyes so indifferent that it was impossible to tell her emotions.

Luan Ning's eyes changed again and again when he looked at her, and finally he surrendered first: "No..."

"I may have seen them."

Luan Ning's expression changed, and he asked nervously, "Have you seen him before? Where?"

Jiang Ye looked away, not meeting Luan Ning's bright eyes: "I have seen a couple who are somewhat similar to you. They are also excellent doctors."

As soon as these words were spoken, a look of surprise flashed across Luan Ning's face.

He was silent for a few seconds, then took out a photo that he had been carrying with him from his inner layer of clothes, and nervously handed it to Jiang Ye: "Is it them?"

The photo is a family portrait.

Luan Ning above still looks a little young, as if he had just entered college. In front of him sits a middle-aged couple.

Both of them were dressed simply, with their heads slightly leaning together, looking at the camera with smiling eyes and brows. Their gentle bookish air touched people's hearts.

Jiang Ye slowed down his breathing and carefully wrote down the appearance and characteristics of the people in the photos.

Then she handed the photo back and bowed to Luan Ning: "Sorry."

"What are you doing?" Luan Ning was startled and strode forward to support her.

Jiang Ye stood up with his strength, but still said: "I am really sorry this time."

"what?"

"I'm just cheating you."

“…” Luan Ning froze and stood there in a daze.
