Anchor with goods, the price of F2 is very reasonable, right?

Chapter 705 Leave it to me

Wang Yang thought about it. Wang Dadong was a suspicious person and might be worried that Wang Yang and his group would come looking for him.

When they got home, Xiao Jiang and the others had already returned.

“We just went to the places Qin Chuan usually goes to inquire, but no one has seen him.”

"I already guessed it, there probably won't be any results. But I have made a major discovery: his neighbor, Xiao Chen, has some issues. I suspect Wang Dadong has already bribed him."

Xiao Jiang blinked in confusion: "How did you know?"

“That Xiao Chen doesn’t earn much, but he can afford such expensive things, there’s definitely something wrong with him. The only thing I can think of is that Wang Dadong gave him the money, but we don’t have any concrete evidence right now.”

Xiao Jiang clapped his hands: "That makes things easier. Leave this to me. I'll go ask him."

"Don't alert him. Wang Dadong might contact him again later."

"Here's what you do: have a few people follow him secretly and keep an eye on where he goes and who he associates with. Maybe Wang Dadong will send someone to contact him."

Xiao Jiang nodded in agreement. He originally had his own plans, thinking of finding Xiao Chen directly and coercing him into confessing, but since Wang Yang had made this arrangement, he had no choice but to follow it.

Wang Yang turned to Wang Yunyi and said, "For the next few days, let's just wait for news at home, or go downstairs to ask around the neighborhood, but I don't think it will be of much use."

"Okay, I'll do whatever you say."

Soon, Xiao Jiang sent out his men, who kept a close watch on Xiao Chen almost around the clock.

Every day, someone would come to report to Wang Yang. Wang Yang discovered that the places this Xiao Chen frequented were really high-end; he mostly went to luxury hotels.

Moreover, he also got to know some powerful and influential people, people he would never have had the opportunity to meet based on his previous status.

So Wang Yang decided to ask around the neighborhood, since his neighbors probably knew him better.

When he and Wang Yunyi went out together, they happened to run into Grandpa Wang, whom they had met before.

"Uncle Wang, it's you!"

"Hey young man, we meet again. Want to play a game of chess?"

Wang Yang smiled and waved his hand: "I'm not going to play chess. I came here today to ask you something."

"Tell me, is it about your third uncle? I've already told you, we really don't know where he went. If we knew, we would have told you immediately."

Old Wang looked anxious, afraid that Wang Yang wouldn't believe him.

"Grandpa, please don't rush, let me explain first. I want to ask about the situation of his neighbor, Xiao Chen."

Old Wang suddenly realized: "Oh dear, look at my brain! Didn't you ask me a while ago if he was acting strangely? I suddenly remembered. He's fine, but his neighbor, Xiao Chen, is acting a bit odd."

As he spoke, Old Wang pulled up a small stool and sat down, while Wang Yang and Wang Yunyi sat down on the flower bed next to him.

"Here's the thing, a while ago, Xiao Chen suddenly seemed to have struck it rich, like he'd received a windfall. After that, he stopped interacting with us old neighbors and only wanted to associate with wealthy people."

"Do you know where he got this money? Besides, even if he had the money, he might not know those people."

Old Wang thought for a moment and said, "I really don't know. Think about it, Qin Chuan loves gambling. Gambling is a quick way to make money. Maybe he taught Xiao Chen a few tricks, and Xiao Chen went to the casino, won some money, and then got to know those rich people."

People in the neighborhood had been speculating about this, but no one could say for sure whether it was true or not.

"Do you remember when he suddenly became rich? Was it before or after Qin Chuan disappeared?"

Old Wang frowned, trying hard to recall: "I remember now, it was before, but it was quite recently, about a week ago, but I really can't remember the exact time."

Wang Yang nodded. It's normal for Old Wang to be old and not remember these details.

"Now that you mention it, I wonder if Qin Chuan's disappearance might be related to Xiao Chen?" Old Wang asked, speculating.

"No, I guess he just saw Qin Chuan gambling and learned a few tricks from him, just like you guessed."

Wang Yang quickly reassured him, knowing that these elderly folks couldn't keep their mouths shut, and if this got out, it would be troublesome.

“What you said makes sense. Actually, Xiao Chen is a nice person and he’s usually quite popular in the neighborhood. It’s just that now that he’s successful, he doesn’t pay much attention to us anymore.”

"So, according to you, why doesn't he move out? He could just give up his apartment in this complex."

Old Wang smiled and said, "That's because his family has lived here since his grandfather's generation. He used to live in a bare-bones house, and even after the demolition, he still lived here. It just so happens to be on that piece of land, so he definitely doesn't want to move away."

"Okay, we understand. Thank you, Uncle Wang. We'll be going now!"

On the way, Wang Yunyi turned to look at Wang Yang.

"Does this mean we can be certain that Xiao Chen definitely has a problem?"

"Before I came here, I guessed that someone close to him might have been bribed, and this neighbor was the most likely candidate. I didn't expect it to actually be him. However, he may not know where Qin Chuan went."

This is the most troublesome thing. He might just be responsible for surveillance, keeping an eye on Qin Chuan's movements for Wang Dadong.

However, Qin Chuan's disappearance should not have much to do with him.

"So what are your plans now? Should we just go and ask him directly? He's definitely hiding something right now. If we just tease him a little, he'll definitely tell us."

"Of course I know, but it's no use."

He worried that Xiao Chen was a timid and cowardly person, and if they noticed anything, Xiao Chen might reveal his weakness when he contacted Wang Dadong's people.

Sending Xiao Chen undercover is not an option; his situation is different from Wang Yang's. Although Wang Yang is introverted, he is at least quite composed.

To be on the safe side, Wang Yang did not intend to expose Xiao Chen at the moment, but simply had someone continue to follow him secretly.

When evening came, Xiao Jiang returned, panting heavily from running all the way.

"Where have you been? You look so tired!"

"You have no idea, that Xiao Chen is really good at making a fuss. After dinner, he went to some kind of resort, then went hiking, and then went to play golf."

As Xiao Jiang spoke, he rolled his eyes dramatically. He could tell that Xiao Chen was genuinely enthusiastic about socializing and was single-mindedly trying to make friends with those people in order to expand his social circle.

"Anyway, there's definitely something wrong with this Xiao Chen. Even someone as slow-witted as me can see it. How could a lowly employee like him suddenly get into that circle?"

Wang Yang nodded, confirming his guess. He figured Wang Dadong wasn't just after money from Xiao Chen; he also wanted to expand his social circle through Xiao Chen.

So Wang Dadong helped Xiao Chen out of the ordinary, and it seems that Xiao Chen has now achieved his goal.

“We’ve been monitoring Xiao Chen for a while now and have roughly figured out his schedule. He just meets with those people every day, nothing special.”

"I'm still figuring out how to talk to him, whether to go directly to him or something else."

Wang Yang pondered for a moment and said, "How about this, let's go find him directly. After all, Wang Dadong might not send anyone to contact him." "That's right, he contacts so many people every day, we can't possibly tell if Wang Dadong's people are among them."

Wang Yang took this into consideration. Xiao Chen came into contact with all sorts of people every day, and if Wang Dadong randomly placed a few, it would be difficult for Xiao Jiang and the others to distinguish them.

“Alright, let’s go find him first thing tomorrow morning. I need to ask Wang Dadong what benefits he gave him.”

After dinner, Wang Yang and Wang Yunyi went downstairs for a walk together.

"Wang Yang, when do you think this matter will be resolved?"

"It should be around the end of the month, since Wang Dadong has a new product launch at the beginning of next month, and I need to get there before then."

Even so, Wang Yang was not entirely confident, given the scarcity of clues available.

"Even if we know from Xiao Chen that he is Wang Dadong's man, what good is it? He has no idea where Qin Chuan is being held."

Wang Yang nodded in agreement: "You're right, but this is all the clues we have right now. We have to make good use of them, otherwise we might not be able to find them for another month or two."

In fact, he had already made preparations. No matter how things developed or whether the new product launch time needed to be adjusted, finding the right people was the key. Qin Chuan's safety had to be guaranteed first, otherwise no other action could be carried out.

"Have you ever thought about just ignoring Qin Chuan? For you, Wang Dadong is the most important person, and he probably won't do anything too crazy."

Wang Yang stopped and looked at Wang Yunyi; he understood what she meant.

"But what you want me to do is to stand by and watch Qin Chuan die. He is Qin Tongtong's third uncle, and even if he isn't, he is still a living person. I can't risk that."

Wang Yunyi sighed; she knew Wang Yang wouldn't agree. Actually, this idea wasn't hers; it was suggested by Xiao Jiang and the others.

They felt that if they brought it up themselves, Wang Yang would definitely not agree, but Wang Yunyi and Wang Yang had a special relationship, so they wanted Wang Yunyi to put in a good word for them.

"This idea wasn't yours, was it?"

Wang Yunyi knew she couldn't hide it from Wang Yang.

"Yes, it was Xiao Jiang and the others who came up with it. After all, to Xiao Jiang and the others, your third uncle..."

“I know they’re all gangsters, and a human life might not be that important to them, but it’s different for me. Don’t bring up this method again.”

After saying that, Wang Yang walked straight ahead, and Wang Yunyi jogged to catch up.

"Wang Yang, don't be angry. That's not what I meant. I know it was a human life, but I'm just worried that it will hinder your plans."

“Even if this matter cannot be accomplished, even if my clinic can never open in this lifetime, I will not gamble with human lives. I cannot do such a thing.”

Wang Yang's voice was loud, and people walking nearby turned to look at them.

"Alright, it's nothing. Let's go back. Let's not mention this again."

Wang Yunyi was afraid that Wang Yang would misunderstand her, so she followed behind him and kept explaining.

"Xiao Jiang and the others are worried about you and the clinic. They don't want the clinic to just disappear like this. Don't worry about it. If Wang Dadong succeeds, you probably won't be able to be a doctor for the rest of your life."

"Of course I know that I might disappear from this world in my lifetime, but so what?"

In Wang Yang's mind, even if he were to disappear right now, he couldn't risk a human life.

"I understand, Wang Yang. I won't bring this up again."

Back home, Wang Yang glared at Xiao Jiang. Xiao Jiang immediately sensed something was wrong, and after Wang Yang went into the room, he quietly moved closer to Wang Yunyi.

"What's wrong with him? Did you just talk to him about that, and he disagreed and even glared at me?"

"Don't you know the truth? I told you before, he definitely wouldn't agree. Wang Yang is a very kind person."

Xiao Jiang chuckled lightly: "What do you mean by that? It's like we're not kind. Aren't we just thinking of him? Do you know what the consequences will be if this drags on?"

Wang Yunyi was well aware of this, but Wang Yang knew it even better than they did. If things dragged on like this, his clinic wouldn't open in a long time, and he still wouldn't be able to find any evidence against Wang Dadong.

Even if they had leverage over him, they couldn't easily reveal it, otherwise Qin Chuan's life might be in danger.

"But Wang Yang wouldn't gamble with a life, especially since that person is Qin Chuan."

“I know, but now we have to weigh the pros and cons, and he has to think about which side is more important.”

Wang Yunyi sighed: "You've been by Wang Yang's side for so long, don't you understand him? For him, people are always the most important thing."

Xiao Jiang was also helpless. This matter didn't really concern him; he was only thinking about the clinic. Besides, Xia and Lao Wang weren't able to work properly either.

"By the way, I heard you're dating Xia from Wang Yang's clinic?"

Upon being asked this question, Xiao Jiang blushed instantly.

"Who's talking nonsense? We're not together, we're just friends."

"We've known each other for a long time, do you think I don't know you? You usually don't interact with girls, but you're so close to Xia, and now you're blushing, do you think I wouldn't tell?"

Xiao Jiang smiled awkwardly: "But we're really just good friends, we're not together."

“I know, I guess her father is also worried about you being with her, and the things you usually do are quite dangerous.”

At this point, Xiao Jiang felt somewhat discouraged. It was precisely because of this that he felt inferior and his relationship with Xia could not progress further.

"Don't worry, I'll talk to her father after this is over. After all, you're one of my men, I'll help you with this."

Xiao Jiang looked up in surprise: "Really? Thank you so much!"

……

The next morning, Wang Yang brought Xiao Jiang to Xiao Chen's house.

Xiao Chen was momentarily surprised when he saw them.

"Why are you here so early? Is something the matter? Do you have news about Qin Chuan?"

"No, not at all. I just have some things I'd like to ask you. Would it be convenient for us to go inside and talk?"

Hearing Wang Yang say this, Xiao Chen nodded cautiously.

"Actually, we already know that you've been secretly monitoring Qin Chuan, right?"

Wang Yang got straight to the point, and Xiao Chen, who was pouring water, trembled.

"What do you mean by that? You asked me before about my relationship with Qin Chuan, and I already told you that we have a very good relationship. I usually know where he is, and his son also calls to ask me. If you don't believe me, you can ask Xiao Xuan."
