#153 - Chapter 153 No. 3's Request

“Not exactly. The green potion is still here, you still have a chance to choose,” Dongfang Chen said.

“I'll talk after I take the medicine first.” The Saint Envoy Number 3 didn't care why Number 1 didn't get this potion. He should take care of himself first.

“Alright!” Dongfang Chen handed the potion to the soldier next to him.

The soldier took the potion and injected it directly.

10 minutes later…

“Oh…” Saint Envoy Number 3 breathed a sigh of relief.

“This medicine is really good! I don’t know how long it’s been since I felt so comfortable. But unfortunately, it's too late.” Saint Envoy Number 3 said.

“Can you talk now?” Dongfang Chen asked.

“Ask away!” Saint Envoy Number 3 nodded.

“Which settlement are you from?” Dongfang Chen asked.

“Huailing Settlement.” Number 3 replied.

“Huailing Settlement?” Dongfang Chen was stunned. Qu Zhengping was in Huailing Settlement.

“Yes.” Number 3 ignored Dongfang Chen's surprise. He didn't care and wasn't curious enough to ask.

“What is your status there?” Dongfang Chen asked.

“I don’t have any status. On the surface, I am just a minor character in the settlement.” Number 3 replied.

“Why do you and those two know each other?” Dongfang Chen asked.

“Our superior is the same Saint Son.”

“Where is your Saint Son?” Dongfang Chen asked.

“I don’t know. Lower-level members of the cult know very little about their superiors.”

“Then how do you usually communicate?”

“Telegraph machine.”

This was the same answer as Number 1.

“Do other Saint Sons also use telegraph machines to contact their subordinates?”

“I don’t know about that, but if I had to guess, probably.”

“Are there any other Saint Envoys in your Huailing Settlement?”

“I don’t know. Maybe there are, maybe there aren’t, who can say for sure.”

“Do you have anything else to add?” Dongfang Chen had nothing else to ask.

“I want to ask, can I leave here alive?” Number 3 asked.

“I’m afraid not.” Dongfang Chen shook his head.

“Then can I ask you to do me a favor?” Saint Envoy Number 3 asked.

“I’m afraid you don’t have the opportunity to negotiate.” Dongfang Chen refused.

“I can exchange it for a secret.” Saint Envoy Number 3 said after a moment of hesitation.

“Tell me about it.” Dongfang Chen was a little interested.

“Let's hear the conditions first. If you can do it, I will tell you the secret.”

“Okay.” Dongfang Chen agreed.

“I have a daughter who is in the Huailing Settlement. If I die, she may not survive. So I want to ask you to adopt her.” Number 3 stated his condition.

“How old is she?” Dongfang Chen asked.

“8 years old.”

“I can help you find a family.” Dongfang Chen said.

“No, you have to promise me that you will adopt her yourself.” Saint Envoy Number 3 refused.

Dongfang Chen could have refused if it was anything else. But when he heard it was a child, he hesitated.

“Why do you want me to adopt her?” Dongfang Chen asked.

“I know who you are. Although I don’t know your name, I know you are very mysterious and powerful. Maybe she can live safely if she follows you.” Saint Envoy Number 3 said.

“You know me?” Dongfang Chen was surprised.

In his impression, the Crimson Church shouldn't know about his existence.

“That’s right!” Number 3 replied.

“Then tell me, who am I.” Dongfang Chen was not in a hurry and restrained his emotions.

“I know you have a secret base, and you produce the combat suits and antigens.” Number 3 said succinctly.

Although the words were simple, the amount of information was huge.

Dongfang Chen was first shocked, then calmed down.

So far, his base has not been attacked by the Crimson Church. Even the Merlin Settlement has not received any additional attacks. This shows that not many people should know about him.

Moreover, he wouldn't know terms like combat suit and antigen if he hadn't been in contact with relevant personnel.

“Where did you hear these things from?” Dongfang Chen asked.

“There is a person, he is very powerful, and he once saved me. I think he should be your subordinate.” Saint Envoy Number 3 said.

As soon as he said this, Dongfang Chen knew what was going on. This person should be Qu Zhengping.

“Are you talking about Yun Que?” Dongfang Chen asked tentatively.

But there was a risk in saying this. If his guess was incorrect, it might bring danger to Qu Zhengping.

“It seems that I guessed right, you are his boss!” Number 3 opened his eyes and affirmed his judgment.

It turned out that Qu Zhengping told him!

The title of boss could explain everything.

Apart from the 40 or so infiltrators who were sent out, few people called him that.

But it shouldn't be like this.

Qu Zhengping couldn't possibly be unclear about what was important.

He had no reason to reveal him to a member of the Crimson Church.

Dongfang Chen contacted Qu Zhengping through the digital eye.

After the signal was connected, Dongfang Chen turned on the image synchronization.

“Why would Yun Que tell you about this?” Dongfang Chen asked.

“Last year, when he first arrived at the Huailing Settlement, he lived with us. He brought a dog, a very powerful dog.” Number 3 said as if stating a fact, as if recalling.

“Life was too hard at that time. In the cold winter, it was freezing. We adults were fine, we could grit our teeth and get through the night. But the children couldn't stand it. Ya Ya hadn't eaten anything decent for months, and she was growing, so she was already skin and bones. Just when we were about to not be able to hold on any longer, Yun Que came. He gave us a lot of food, and Ya Ya survived that winter.”
