Chapter 1588: Dragon Breath Mission
"Dragon Breath?" Chen Yu grabbed the man's hand, glanced at a mark on his wrist, and immediately understood the man's identity.
Dragon Breath, Tianyuan Pavilion personnel, in the same department as Su Yan, only he looked very young, the childishness on his face having just faded; he was still young, likely under twenty.
Logically speaking, at his age, he should not have reached the entry standards for the Dragon Breath pavilion, yet he was already able to travel overseas to complete missions independently, which left Chen Yu somewhat puzzled.
"Yes, he's from Dragon Breath. He arrived here the day before yesterday with an important mission in hand; I didn't expect an accident to happen today," Wu Bo sighed and said. "He was slashed by a ninja in the chest and fled all the way here. When I found him, he was already on the verge of death."
"He has a tough life, and good fortune," Chen Yu nodded slightly and said. "Given his condition, if it had been half an hour later, even if I had arrived, I fear I wouldn't have been able to save him."
"I didn't expect your medical skills to be so high," Wu Bo couldn't help but look at Chen Yu a few more times. "In that situation, even if he were sent to a hospital, I fear he wouldn't have been saved. The reason I was still trying was that I didn't want to give up, but I knew that if I wanted to save him in that state, it was simply impossible."
"But when you came over, the bleeding on his body stopped very quickly, and his complexion even became rosy. Now his condition is stable; if it were anyone else, they wouldn't have been able to do this."
"I have a background in medicine, so having some methods is normal. As long as he is fine, that's all that matters. Do you know what his background is or what his mission is?" Chen Yu asked.
"It's not clear yet. I only know his name is Zhao Ping, he is from Dragon Breath, and he came here for a secret mission. I only know that if there is a need, I will assist him, but what his mission actually is, I don't know," Wu Bo shook his head and said.
"Let's ask in detail after he wakes up," Chen Yu nodded. "Wu Bo, is your place safe enough?"
"Safe. My public identity has always been that of a helpless old man running a Tailor Shop. No one will suspect me, and there have never been any foreign forces watching me, so my place is fine," Wu Bo nodded without hesitation.
As a veteran intelligence officer stationed abroad, his keenness was incomparable. Even when going out, he could clearly figure out whether anyone was following him, so his place was absolutely safe.
"That's good. He will probably need to recuperate for a few days. If this place isn't too safe, I'll have him change to another location," Chen Yu thought for a moment and said. "Let's talk after he wakes up. His identity is sensitive now, and it is indeed inconvenient for him to be here; if you're not careful, you might even be exposed yourself."
"Fine, I'll listen to you on everything," Wu Bo nodded slightly. He knew Chen Yu was no ordinary person, so at this critical juncture, it was better to listen to Chen Yu.
Just then, Xin'er had already brought up the decocted medicine, blowing on it carefully.
"I'll wake him up," Chen Yu walked to Zhao Ping's side and pressed lightly on his body. A look of pain appeared on Zhao Ping's face, his body trembled slightly, and a moment later, he slowly opened his eyes.
"Wu... Wu Bo? Who are you..." Zhao Ping opened his eyes, looked at the few people in front of him, and for a moment, couldn't react.
His eyes still held a look of vigilance, and his hand moved instinctively toward his waist; if he confirmed anything was even slightly wrong, he would strike immediately.
"Zhao Ping, don't be afraid. This is Mr. Chen Yu. Like you, he is also from Dragon Breath. Thanks to him just now, otherwise, your life wouldn't have been saved," Wu Bo stepped forward to explain.
Zhao Ping nodded, his vigilant expression relaxing slightly, and then he looked at Xin'er to the side.
"This is a junior of mine. Don't worry, she will be the one to take over my work in the future. We are all our own people, reliable," Wu Bo introduced.
"This is the medicine, drink it first," Xin'er walked forward with the medicine.
"Thank you." Zhao Ping completely relaxed his vigilance. As his spirit loosened, he felt a wave of exhaustion; he let out a long breath and leaned against the head of the bed.
"You have no other major problems, just excessive blood loss. This medicine will nourish the Qi and replenish the Origin, allowing your body to recover quickly," Chen Yu said. "Drink this medicine, and you'll be better soon."
"Was it you who saved my life just now?" Zhao Ping picked up the medicine bowl and asked Chen Yu.
"You could say that, but the one who truly saved your life was Wu Bo. If it weren't for him, even if I had seen you on the street, I likely wouldn't have bothered with you," Chen Yu smiled slightly.
Zhao Ping nodded. He picked up the bowl of medicine, tilted his head back, and drank it clean in one gulp.
As the medicine hit his stomach, a surge of heat flowed through his entire body, which made his spirit involuntarily perk up, and he regained his focus: "Wu Bo, thank you. If it weren't for you this time, I fear I would really have been buried here."
"That is my duty, so there is no need to thank me. Let me introduce you: Chen Yu, someone from within your Dragon Breath." Wu Bo saw he was fine and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"You are also from Dragon Breath? Which pavilion?" Zhao Ping asked.
"I don't belong to any pavilion in Dragon Breath," Chen Yu said. "But I recognize this mark on your arm; it's from Tianyuan Pavilion. You should know Su Yan, right?"
"She is my captain; she was the one who brought me into Dragon Breath. Why, are you very close?" Zhao Ping asked.
"Quite close. I even saw her once before coming to Fusang," Chen Yu smiled slightly. "I didn't expect you to be pulled into Dragon Breath by her at such a young age? That doesn't comply with the regulations, does it?"
"It indeed doesn't comply, but my situation is somewhat special, so Captain Su made an exception," Zhao Ping smiled. "Besides, I am already nineteen this year; actually, it's not that much of a difference in age, so I feel I am fully capable of handling the work here."
"Alright then. What was your mission for coming here this time? You were injured so badly—did you clash with the enemy's ninjas?" Chen Yu asked.
"Yes, I encountered the enemy's ninjas. I originally came here just to collect evidence at a biotech company. They were engaged in illegal research at a certain company in our country. I originally intended to leave once I got the evidence at their headquarters, but I didn't expect to run into a ninja," Zhao Ping muttered to himself. "That devil was indeed powerful; I didn't last many rounds against him."
"The ninjas on their side are divided into many schools. The one you encountered was still the weakest kind; their strength isn't considered very strong," Chen Yu said. "If you had encountered the ninjas of their guardian Divine Official, you would likely have been in grave danger this time."
