Chapter 1038 -414: Impersonating Identity_2

Truth be told, Li Xin looked quite thin, but certain areas were rather prominent.

However, when she tried to continue undressing, she was stopped by Wang Tao.

“Put your clothes back on! Am I the kind of person who takes advantage of others’ misfortune? You can’t do this next time, or I won’t save you again,” Wang Tao said with a face full of righteous indignation.

“Ah?”

Li Xin didn’t expect Wang Tao to dislike that and got a shock, hurriedly and flusteredly redressing.

Wang Tao was her savior, and she dared not anger him.

“You stay here for now, I’m leaving—oh, right, when I said I could rescue you tomorrow, it was based on the place you mentioned actually selling medicine. If there isn’t any, then it’s hard to say…”

Upon hearing Wang Tao’s words, Li Xin, not even caring that she wasn’t fully dressed, quickly added:

“Everything I said was true, I didn’t deceive you… Why don’t you go ask Sister Rong, she can vouch for what I said…”

“I will go ask.”

Wang Tao nodded and then turned and left, leaving a very uneasy Li Xin behind.

Outside, a small hand suddenly reached into Wang Tao’s larger one.

Seeing Jiang Shixue next to him staring with wide eyes, Wang Tao immediately said with a look of integrity:

“Little Xue, don’t get me wrong, I’m not that kind of person!”

“Brother, I believe you,” Jiang Shixue nodded earnestly.

But even though she looked very sincere, Wang Tao felt she was brushing it off. Suddenly, he gripped Jiang Shixue’s small hand and together they made their way to Qiu Rong’s room.

Wang Tao hadn’t initially planned to visit Qiu Rong, but since he received some important information from Li Xin, he had to go and validate it with Qiu Rong.

In theory, Wang Tao should have been able to get this information from Qiu Rong if he had continued questioning her, but given that Qiu Rong couldn’t hold on any longer and might have died if he kept at it…

As Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue arrived outside Qiu Rong’s room, the two policemen standing guard saluted and left immediately. Just as Wang Tao was about to push the door open, Jiang Shixue stopped at the doorway. Faced with Wang Tao’s puzzled look, she said playfully:

“Brother, I won’t disturb the two of you!”

“…”

Wang Tao “sternly” pinched Jiang Shixue’s cheek and then finally entered the room alone.

Qiu Rong’s room was similar to Li Xin’s. She was covered up with a blanket, curled up on the bed, evidently asleep.

Seeing that Qiu Rong’s HP had recovered quite a bit, Wang Tao ruthlessly pulled off the blanket and woke her up.

She was wearing pajamas, but suddenly losing the warmth of her bedding made Qiu Rong, still in the throes of sleep, shiver.

“Wake up.”

Qiu Rong shrank back and then opened her eyes in a daze.

When she saw a tall figure standing by her bed, her pupils dilated, and she instinctively tried to scream out. But Wang Tao quickly covered her mouth.

Qiu Rong couldn’t make a sound but became even more frightened.

“Don’t scream.”

Wang Tao scolded.

Only then did Qiu Rong realize that the person in front of her was no other than Wang Tao. She immediately nodded repeatedly.

“Mmm—Mr. Wang! Mr. Wang, I really have confessed everything, have you come to rescue me?”

Seeing Wang Tao, Qiu Rong got up from the bed very excitedly, kneeling and sitting on the bed looking at Wang Tao.

“Do you not remember what happened yesterday?”

Wang Tao asked out of curiosity.

Although people controlled by Jiang Shixue’s [String Puppet] Awakening were unaware and had no memories afterwards, yesterday Qiu Rong had been controlled for so long and had almost died, which was a scenario Wang Tao had not encountered before. So he was very curious about Qiu Rong’s current state.

“Yesterday… I’m sorry! I shouldn’t have made you angry yesterday! But please believe me, I really haven’t hidden anything…” Qiu Rong hurriedly explained.

After communicating with her for a while, Wang Tao silently nodded to himself.

Jiang Shixue’s Awakening was indeed good. Yesterday, she had Qiu Rong rolling her eyes back, nearly killing her, yet Qiu Rong still had no memory whatsoever.

After giving her one last chance, Jiang Shixue took control of Qiu Rong, and Qiu Rong had no memory of that period. She only remembered suddenly passing out and then waking up here. She had no recollection of the time she passed out, nor how it happened. She didn’t know, but she had rationalized it to herself, assuming it was because she hadn’t eaten for a long time and felt faint from hunger.

Now, aside from some head pain and weakness in her body, she had not yet noticed any side effects…

After figuring out her condition, Wang Tao suddenly spoke:

“Bamboo Cui Community…”

Upon hearing Wang Tao mention this address, Qiu Rong’s face instantly stiffened.

“I’m in a good mood today, so I’ll give you one more chance. Have you really told me everything?”

Wang Tao looked at Qiu Rong expressionlessly.

After her body stiffened for a while, Qiu Rong suddenly looked at Wang Tao with shining eyes, then whispered:

“Mr. Wang, are you with the Church?”

“…”

Seeing that Qiu Rong didn’t seem to be acting, but genuinely thought he was from the Dusk Church, Wang Tao was somewhat at a loss for words.

Is this really happening?

But… it seems kind of interesting.

Wang Tao thought he could pretend to be from the Church to get more information from Qiu Rong. So he didn’t explain much, just coldly grunted an acknowledgment.

“Hmm.”

“I had no idea you were one of the Church! That’s great, we’re on the same side now!”

After getting an affirmation from Wang Tao, Qiu Rong became even more excited.

She didn’t doubt whether Wang Tao’s identity was real or fake, because she had only seen Church members with covered faces, and she didn’t know if there was a Wang Tao in the Church. Only the Church knew she was a pre-member, so it made sense for Wang Tao to know her identity.

However, she quickly followed up with:

“May I ask what Level you are?”

“Deacon.”

Wang Tao only knew about believers and deacons; he certainly couldn’t pose as an Ordinary believer, so he had to be a deacon.

“Deacon!”

Qiu Rong immediately adapted to Wang Tao’s “new identity”, feeling that she had found her organization.

Wang Tao immediately used this new identity as a deacon and talked with Qiu Rong. Before, when he asked her something, she said nothing, but now, whatever he asked, she answered.

Thus, Wang Tao got a lot of information he hadn’t had the chance to ask about before.

“I think I might really be able to pull this off?”

From Qiu Rong, Wang Tao learned that their trades were also done with hidden identities, including tonight’s deal; no one would show their real face and identity. Wouldn’t that mean that Wang Tao could blend in and take a look?

Although Wang Tao felt that with his own strength, he could take them all down at once, if he could blend in, he should be able to get more information. After all, he couldn’t just capture all these people and have Jiang Shixue control every one of them, that would be too much of a waste of Awakening Energy…

“Okay, you rest well these next couple of days, I will get you out of here soon.”

“Thank you, thank you, Deacon!”

Qiu Rong’s face was full of excitement.

Wang Tao felt that Qiu Rong’s trust in him as a fake deacon was even higher than her trust in himself.

“I want to see what this Dusk Church is all about!”

After leaving Qiu Rong’s room, Wang Tao found Jiang Hui.

“I’ve learned some things. Tonight…”

Updat𝓮d from frёewebnoѵēl.com.

Wang Tao told Jiang Hui about the address that Li Xin had mentioned, including the matter of the “health medicine”.

“Do you mean to say that Yao Guodong was affected by this kind of medicine and that’s why he wandered into the snowfield in a daze?”

Jiang Hui looked excited; he was only short of conclusive evidence. With evidence and Wang Tao’s support, he might be able to arrest someone directly!

“Yeah, it should be like that. Anyway, you’ll find out if you go there today…”

While saying this, Wang Tao suddenly remembered that the place where Li Xin said the drugs were sold wasn’t fixed and could be canceled… he wondered if they would change the plan.

“Let’s do this, I’ll go with you tonight.”

Wang Tao added.

“Great! Thank you, Mr. Wang!”

Jiang Hui thought Wang Tao was worried about his safety and was deeply touched.

“Wait for me tonight; I have to stop by the City Hall first.”

“Roger that!”
