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

Chapter 706: Acting openly

Wang Yang smiled and said, "I think you misunderstood. I meant that someone gave you benefits so that you could monitor Qin Chuan every day and keep track of his movements, right?"

At this point, Xiao Chen began to panic.

"What are you talking about? Why would I help someone spy on him? And why would someone spy on him?"

"You may not know the reason, but that person gave you a lot of benefits. Just look at all this equipment in your room, it should be worth over a hundred thousand, right?"

As he spoke, Wang Yang looked into the house.

"And that TV in your room, it costs tens of thousands. With your salary, can you afford it?"

"What are you talking about? I went to the casino with Qin Chuan before, and he taught me a few tricks. I won some money. Can't I just bet it myself?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Yang couldn't help but smile. It seemed that the matter being discussed by the uncles and aunts in the park was something that Xiao Chen had intentionally spread.

No wonder they all said that; it turns out that Xiao Chen had anticipated that someone might suspect him, so he had prepared this explanation in advance.

That makes sense, after all, he and Qin Chuan have always had a good relationship, and everyone knows that Qin Chuan likes to gamble, and occasionally he can win a lot of money when he's lucky.

It's not surprising that he took Xiao Chen gambling with him, so naturally few people doubted the source of the money.

"Looks like you're pretty clever; you already knew how to explain the origin of this money, didn't you?"

"Wang Yang, what exactly do you want to say? You suddenly came to my house today to question me. Now I'm starting to doubt whether you're even their relative. I need to call Xiao Xuan and ask."

Wang Yang sat down opposite Xiao Chen: "You should have already asked Xiao Xuan, right? He told me that I am indeed his relative. However, I've found out some other things. Are you willing to cooperate with me?"

"What do you mean by that? What cooperation or not? I don't understand any of what you're saying!"

Wang Yang shook his head helplessly: "How could you not understand? You know it all in your heart. Just cooperate with me and tell me what other things Wang Dadong asked you to do."

Upon hearing the name "Wang Dadong," Xiao Chen was genuinely confused.

"Who is this person? I really don't know him, I swear!"

"You may not know the mastermind behind this, but someone definitely gave you a sum of money, right?"

As he spoke, Xiao Jiang placed a wad of cash on the dining table.

"I don't need you to do anything difficult for me. I just want to know what this person asked you to do. That's all I ask."

Xiao Chen looked at the stack of money and hesitated. He was a greedy person by nature, and Wang Dadong had taken advantage of this.

"But if I tell them, will they come after me?"

"They won't know you've already told anyone. Do you think we'd go around spreading it around? Don't worry, we absolutely won't reveal a single thing about you."

Xiao Chen thought for a moment before saying, "Several months ago, someone suddenly approached me, gave me a sum of money, and asked me to report Qin Chuan's whereabouts every day. At first, I definitely disagreed, because I felt that this matter was a bit suspicious."

Later, those people frequently visited him, giving him a lot of money and benefits. In the end, they even used coercion and enticement to force him to accept their offers.

"Moreover, they not only had money, but also connections, and they introduced me to a lot of people."

"We already know that; you do like to associate with powerful and influential people, that goes without saying. Is there anything else?"

Xiao Chen thought for a moment and said, "Actually, there's nothing else. It's just reporting Qin Chuan's whereabouts to them. Qin Chuan's daily routine is very simple: he goes to the casino, then goes to the market to buy groceries and cook. That's all."

For a while, Xiao Chen felt like this was a windfall, such an easy job, and he could earn tens of thousands of yuan every month.

"Did they say anything before Qin Chuan disappeared?"

"No, he just called me and said that if Qin Chuan was going anywhere, I should let him know, because he usually tells me before he goes on a long trip."

After all, he didn't have a good relationship with his son, so if he went on a long trip and Xiao Xuan asked, he would have something to say.

"Then a few days later, Qin Chuan disappeared. Do you all think those people took him away?"

Wang Yang glared at him: "What else? Do you think someone would spy on him for no reason? It must be to harm him, can't you even think of that?"

Xiao Chen lowered his head in shame. Actually, he wasn't completely unaware of it, but he was blinded by money at the time, and the benefits they offered were just too much.

"So I feel a little guilty, but even if I knew these things, it wouldn't do you any good. I don't have those people's contact information anymore. They gave me a cell phone before, but they took it back now."

Wang Yang had guessed this as well. Wang Dadong was always cautious in his work, as were his subordinates, so it was impossible for them to find any clues.

"Have they contacted you since then? Or do you think they might contact you again?"

Xiao Chen shook his head: "I think it's unlikely. I was hoping they could give me some more money or introduce me to a few people so I could start a business. But I can't get in touch with them at all, and I don't even know where they are."

As he said this, Xiao Chen still felt a little regretful. If he could do it again, he should have made higher demands.

Are you really Qin Chuan's distant relatives?

"If I weren't a distant relative of his, why would I go through all this trouble to look for him?"

After thinking for a moment, Xiao Chen said, "Actually, I don't think you need to worry too much. Qin Chuan should be out of danger. Although I don't know the specifics, I think those people are quite disciplined. They've probably just taken Qin Chuan into custody."

"So that's why you helped them, thinking Qin Chuan wouldn't be in danger?"

Xiao Chen nodded in agreement, "Yes, otherwise I definitely wouldn't have done it if I had known there was danger involved."

Wang Yang chuckled. Someone as greedy as Xiao Chen might not stick to his principles when faced with a real problem.

"Anyway, I've already told you everything I know, so there's nothing more for you to say if you ask me again."

"Okay, if those people contact you again, be sure to let me know immediately, but don't mention me to them."

Xiao Chen nodded hastily, knowing in his heart that neither of these groups were easy to deal with. Judging from Wang Yang's demeanor, he intended to stay long-term until he found Qin Chuan's whereabouts.

"Actually, I have a suggestion. I think Qin Chuan is definitely no longer here. There's no point in you staying any longer. Why don't you go look for him somewhere else?"

"Then tell me, where am I supposed to look for him? The world is so big, where am I supposed to find him?"

Xiao Chen was speechless. He really didn't know which direction to look, and since they had been living here all along, they couldn't think of any good solutions. "By the way, who is this Wang Dadong you mentioned? I've never heard of that name before."

"I just made that up on the spot, you'd better forget about it. There are some things you're safer knowing the less you know, or you'll get yourself into trouble."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen immediately nodded blankly.

"Okay, don't worry, I'll definitely forget it and won't go around telling everyone. I'm a timid person, and although I love money, I won't do anything dangerous."

"Okay, we'll contact you again if anything comes up. Remember, if those people contact you again, be sure to tell me."

After saying that, Wang Yang gave Xiao Chen his contact information, and Xiao Chen quickly nodded in agreement.

The group of people looked worried throughout the journey. Although they had managed to extract a lot of information from Xiao Chen, they still didn't know where Qin Chuan had gone.

"What should we do? Waiting like this isn't a solution. Like Xiao Chen said, Qin Chuan can't wait here for us forever."

"I know, have you searched the nearby casinos? Did you find any clues?"

Xiao Jiang shook his head: "We've spent so much money over this period just to check those surveillance videos. The brothers' eyes are almost blind from looking at them. He hasn't been seen since the day he disappeared."

Wang Yang stopped and turned around to pat Xiao Jiang on the shoulder.

“Xiao Jiang, I know you and your brothers have worked hard these past few days. Money is not a problem, so don’t worry. If you don’t have enough manpower, I’ll talk to Wang Yunyi and ask her to send some more people.”

Xiao Jiang frowned as he looked at Wang Yang: "We don't mind being tired, the key issue is that what we're doing now is yielding no results. We know you want to find Qin Chuan, but we don't have any leads at all. Like you said, this world is so big, where are we supposed to look?"

Wang Yang sighed: "Then tell me, what should I do?"

"I already asked Wang Yunyi to tell you my thoughts: give up looking for Qin Chuan. Whether his life is in danger or not won't have much impact on the final outcome."

Wang Yang sighed helplessly. It seemed that even after being by his side for so long, Xiao Jiang still didn't understand him enough. He would never abandon a human life.

"Putting aside the fact that I'm a doctor, saving lives is my duty. Even if I were an ordinary person, I couldn't just stand by and watch someone die. Now that he's gone, our only goal is to find him."

This is Wang Yang's principle, so no matter how Xiao Jiang tries to persuade him, he will not accept it.

"But we can't find anyone right now, it's all a waste of time. What's the point of making the brothers run around like this all day?"

Xiao Jiang practically roared those words, knowing that finding Qin Chuan would be an impossible task.

“I know, but no matter how difficult it is, we must continue searching. Maybe we can find some clues.”

Wang Yang knew very well that Wang Dadong was using Qin Chuan to threaten him because he knew that Wang Yang would not give up on any life.

It seems Wang Dadong had planned this all along. If Wang Yang eventually traced it back to him, he would at least still have one card to play.

"Xiao Jiang, I know you've had a tough time lately. If you feel this job is meaningless, then go back."

"You misunderstood me. We've known each other for so long, and I know you quite well. I actually want to help you. I think what we're doing now is valuable."

Wang Yang patted him hard on the shoulder: "I understand, I also want to find him as soon as possible, but we can't give up on him, after all, he is a living person."

"But now it's time to weigh the pros and cons. We should give up on seeing him. Doesn't the clinic care? There are so many patients waiting for you to treat them!"

However, even if they go back now, the clinic can't open. Until they resolve Wang Dadong's problem, the clinic can't resume normal operations.

"Then tell me, what if we give up now, but Qin Chuan goes back on his own? What should we do then?"

"Why don't we just release the evidence we've collected before?" Xiao Jiang thought it was a very simple matter, and that way, Wang Dadong would be completely brought down.

“Wang Dadong has already lost his son. He’s become extremely irrational. You can’t even imagine how crazy he can be. I can’t even figure out what he’s thinking. So, he might just kill the hostage.”

Their current actions are tantamount to sacrificing a life in an attempt to bring down Wang Dadong.

"I know this might put Qin Chuan's life in danger, but it's the best we can think of right now. If you can't find Qin Chuan, are we just going to let this drag on like this?"

Wang Yang fell silent. He really hadn't figured it out yet; things had developed beyond his expectations.

"Xiao Jiang, let me think about it some more and see if there are any other solutions."

After saying that, Wang Yang walked away in another direction by himself. He needed to think carefully about what the best course of action would be, and what would cause the least harm to everyone.

As he was walking, he suddenly received a call from Lao Wang.

"Old Wang, why are you calling me all of a sudden? Is something wrong?"

On the other end of the phone, Old Wang chuckled憨厚ly, "It's nothing, I just wanted to ask how you've been lately. I haven't heard from you, so I didn't dare to go to your house without permission."

"I've been out running some errands these past few days and haven't been home. How have you and Xia been doing lately?"

Wang Yang didn't tell the two of them that he had come out, after all, Wang Dadong was keeping a close eye on him, and he was afraid of being discovered.

“Xia and I are both doing well. He’s been studying medical books at home, and I sometimes see patients for the neighbors downstairs when I have free time.”

"Oh, right, I forgot to tell you before, if you're not too busy and have regular customers who need follow-up appointments, you can take a look at them."

Old Wang smiled and said, "Don't worry, they contacted me beforehand without me having to tell them. So I just got the medicine for them. Anyway, even though the clinic is closed, we can still go in."

After the doctor's visit, Lao Wang let Xia go in to get the medicine, which made things much more convenient for everyone.

"Boss, when exactly will the clinic open?"

"I really can't answer that question. To be honest, I don't know right now either. I still have some things to take care of here. I'll go back once I've finished them."

Old Wang was silent for a while. They had gotten used to life at the clinic, and suddenly being idle at home was indeed a bit of a shock.

"If you're not too busy, go and clean up the clinic. It'll be officially open sooner or later anyway."

"I know, don't worry about these things. Just take good care of yourself out there and come back soon."

Wang Yang suddenly remembered something: "By the way, has Wang Dadong sent anyone to contact you during this time?"
