Chapter: 6584

Moreover, he had a close relationship with the special envoy above him and had heard him mention something about all personnel in a secret base going missing. Therefore, when Ye Chen suddenly showed up at DuKeng Mining, he immediately felt a glimmer of hope and thought that Ye Chen could definitely rescue himself and the other Cavalry Guards.

Ye Chen didn't respond to his request but instead opened his mouth and asked: "How many people are there here, including dead soldiers and Cavalry Guards? Include all family members too."

Yin Xiu Yang immediately responded: "Sir, in DuKeng Mining, including myself, there are 912 Cavalry Guards, with a total of 34,047 family members. In the mine, we have 1,548 dead soldiers, with a total of 58,036 family members. The two combined should be over 110,000 people."

"One hundred...ten thousand..." Ye Chen heard and couldn't help but take a cold breath.

Over 110,000 people - this was more than his highest estimate by several thousand.

Originally, he thought there would be at most 6-7,000 people, not exceeding 7-8,000. But now, it was over 110,300 people, and moving them all silently would indeed be a challenge.

Then, Ye Chen asked Yin Xiu Yang again: "What's the background of Song Yannan?"

Yin Xiu Yang said respectfully: "Sir, Song Yannan is a staff member of the Right Army Commandery Bureau, and her existence can be compared to that of a Deputy Commander. Her status is very high, and it's said that her family background is not ordinary - she is a collateral branch of the Wu family."

The Wu family is indeed the family of Wu Feiyun. As long as each family continues to survive, they will inevitably engage in continuous intermarriage, childbirth, and so on, so there must be collateral branches.

However, Ye Chen knows very little about the Wu family and has no leads on their collateral branches.

So he asked Yin Xiu Yang: "Do you know her full name? Where is she from?"

"I don't know..." Yin Xiu Yang answered truthfully. "Previously, a high-ranking official came to DuKeng Mining, which was none other than the Special Envoy. This Song Yannan was brought here by the Special Envoy a few days ago, saying that she would oversee the upgrading and renovation of DuKeng Mining, in addition to completing the great bloodletting."

Ye Chen asked: "The great bloodletting should be dividing us from our families, brothers, and so on?"

"Yes." Yin Xiu Yang nodded. "This is a ruthless scheme. I'm sure it's because the English master is worried that we might rebel, so they're using our family members as hostages. And in the future, if we want to reunite with our loved ones, we can only strive for death-defying achievements. This plan not only breaks our rebellious hearts but will also make us willing to build a career for the English master."

Ye Chen nodded and asked again: "Will the dead soldiers participate in the great bloodletting?"

Yin Xiu Yang said: "I'm not really clear about this, according to what that Mrs. Song said. The current great bloodletting should only apply to the Cavalry Guards, considering that the dead soldiers have a larger population and it would be more difficult to operate."

He looked at Ye Chen, his voice tight with tension and expectation: "Sir, please save us! As long as we can escape the clutches of the White Bone Sect, these Cavalry Guards will be willing to serve you for life!"

"Ye Chen thought for a moment, then said: 'I can save you, I came here to take all of you away, and I don't need you to serve me for life. All I need is your help when I need it to deal with the White Bone Sect. After we eliminate the White Bone Sect, you will be free to go. This is not an empty promise, because if we don't eliminate them, even if I immediately give you freedom, you would still have no way to escape death.'

Yin Xiu Yang spoke without hesitation: 'I understand what you mean! As long as the White Bone Sect is not eliminated, I will never know peace with my family again!'

He suddenly thought of the toxins inside his body and asked hastily: 'Sir, may I ask one thing? Do you have a way to eliminate the toxins from our bodies? If we don't eliminate them, all of us will suffer from poisoning and die within a few days...'

Ye Chen nodded slightly, speaking calmly: 'Don't worry, I can completely eliminate the toxins in your bodies. Otherwise, I wouldn't bother with this pointless task.'

As he spoke, Ye Chen added: 'I already took away an entire garrison of Cavalry Guards, dead soldiers, and their families from Cyprus last time. Those people are now safely relocated to a very secure location. If nothing unexpected happens, I will relocate you all there too.'

Yin Xiu Yang spoke nervously: 'Sir, according to what Mrs. Song said, the great bloodletting may start within three days. Three days later, even if we haven't evacuated everyone here, other garrisons will have already been replaced. If we can't evacuate everyone before then, we'll be exposed.'

Ye Chen nodded slightly and spoke: 'The time is indeed very tight. I've arranged a middle location in advance. Originally, I planned to send people out gradually over the next few days, but now it seems that there's no more time for me to prepare. Tomorrow, or even by tonight, I'll have to start sending the first batch of people out.'"
