Chapter 733 What is my identity?

"But it's probably going to be difficult for you to see her. She's a rather low-key person and doesn't like to interact with people much."

The two men realized that Wang Yang had asked so many questions about the Shen family because he wanted to do business with them, but he just couldn't find a way to do so.

“Brother, even though you treated us to such expensive drinks today, I still have to say that if you want to do business with the Shen family, the two of us really can’t help you.”

Wang Yang laughed and said, "Don't feel guilty. These two bottles of wine are because I spilled some on your pants earlier, causing you trouble. Don't worry about it."

“You know, anyone who can become friends with Shen Qing is no ordinary person; they must have all been to her private club. Neither of us has ever been inside.”

After saying that, the two laughed self-deprecatingly. They could only gossip about Shen Qing in private; it was unlikely that they could actually get close to him.

"It's alright, meeting is fate, just consider it making friends."

Xiao Jiang listened for a long time but still didn't understand what use knowing these two people was, since they couldn't help Wang Yang find Shen Qing.

A little while later, the two went swimming. Xiao Jiang sat down next to Wang Yang.

"You treated them to 30 yuan worth of drinks, but you didn't get any information out of them. So, how are we supposed to get in now?"

"Why didn't we get anything out of her? At least we know now that Shen Qing hasn't been dating anyone because she's waiting for her fiancé, which is quite strange."

Xiao Jiang asked, puzzled, "What's so strange about that? She has a fiancé, so she shouldn't be dating other people. Isn't that common sense?"

“That’s different. This is an arranged marriage, and that person has been missing for many years. The Shen family should have been looking for her all along, but she is unwilling to cancel the engagement. Even the Shen family is unwilling, which is not reasonable.”

Xiao Jiang didn't find anything unreasonable, but since Wang Yang had said so, he decided to investigate it thoroughly.

"Have your men received any information? We don't even know which room Shen Qing is in."

"They'll let us know as soon as they find it, don't worry."

It took more than ten minutes for Xiao Jiang to receive the news.

"Found it. Shen Qing has his own room, 502."

Wang Yang nodded: "Then have someone check what's going on in the rooms next to hers and across from her, and see if there's any way we can get in."

"The room opposite hers also has a private swimming pool, and it's empty. But if you want to go there, you have to book the entire private pool, which costs 50 a year."

Xiao Jiang's eyes widened. The annual service fee was already hundreds of thousands, and now the swimming pool was also going for 50. This was simply an astronomical price.

"No wonder the Shen family is so powerful and wealthy in Haicheng; they're practically ripping people off."

"What are you saying? The service here is still worth this much money."

After a while, a waiter came over and led the two of them to the private pool across the street.

"By the way, whose private swimming pool is that across from us?"

The waiter smiled and said, "Sir, the room opposite is our young lady's, so ordinary people can't go in."

"Oh, I see. I was just thinking of renting the place across the street, but they said it was already booked and couldn't be sublet."

"Yes, this is exclusively for our young lady."

Wang Yang nodded and asked the waiter to leave.

"You've spent so much money to buy the pool across the street, and you still can't find a way to get close to Shen Qing."

Xiao Jiang couldn't help but complain that the hundreds of thousands of yuan had been wasted; he never imagined that getting close to someone would cost so much money.

The key point is that this is just the beginning, and we don't know how much it will cost in the future.

"Alright, alright, it's not your money being spent, don't worry about it. I know what I'm doing. For her, spending any amount of money is worth it. You need to understand..."

He could find her parents' whereabouts by spending money on her, so why wouldn't he do it? He only wanted money, not their lives.

However, in Xiao Jiang's opinion, it was indeed not worth it, since he felt that this person was not worth that much money at all.

"Then tell me, how exactly are we supposed to bump into her later? She might not even come out."

“You know, she’s not the only one in the pool. If we happen to run into other people, we might find an opportunity too.”

Wang Yang remembered that in the photos Xiao Jiang showed him, there was a woman who was also a rich young lady and had a very good relationship with Shen Qing.

"Do you remember? In the photo you gave me, there was a person named Xiaomi. She and Shen Qing are friends."

Xiao Jiang thought for a moment and said, "Of course I remember, but do you really want to start with her? We checked her information. She's a very willful person with a bad temper. I don't know how Shen Qing became friends with her."

"It is precisely because she has a bad temper, is willful, and loud that it shows she is not cunning, making it easier for us to take action."

But Xiao Jiang didn't know what opportunity Wang Yang would have to meet her.

"Alright, I'll go pour a glass of red wine and stand by the door. When Xiaomi comes out later, I'll go out and accidentally spill the red wine on her."

Xiao Jiang was speechless. Why did Wang Yang always use this kind of trick? He used the same trick in the pool just now.

"Can't you try a different approach?"

"No, I think this is a great idea. Besides, once I spill this glass of wine, they can tell the price of the wine just by smelling it."

Xiao Jiang was quite helpless. He knew that Wang Yang was definitely going to use the tens of thousands of yuan worth of wine to handle this matter.

"Okay, I told you, it's normal to spend a lot of money on this. Don't always focus on the money. If you always react like this, they'll find out and give you away."

Xiao Jiang knew that Wang Yang was right, but he had carried out so many missions before, but this was the first time he had encountered one that would cost so much money.

"You've been on so many missions before, don't you even have this much experience? Or has no one taught you before?"

"Of course not. I've never spent this much money, no matter how many missions I've done before. You're being too extravagant."

Wang Yang knew that if he didn't explain the pros and cons to Xiao Jiang, Xiao Jiang would expose him sooner or later.

"Xiao Jiang, let me make this clear to you: she is the richest woman in Haicheng. So if we want to get close to her, we can't do it as ordinary people. We have to be on equal footing with her, or at least not too far apart in terms of social status."

Xiao Jiang nodded blankly: "Actually, I know, I just wonder if we can be a little more subtle and not spend too much money."

"You have to trust me, I have my reasons. Every penny is spent wisely; otherwise, they wouldn't even notice. Besides, I'm not short of money now, so you don't need to worry about me." Hearing the last sentence, Xiao Jiang felt utterly helpless.

"Okay, from now on, I will absolutely not interfere with you in this matter."

"Not only that, you also have to pretend to be very generous. Don't be too reserved when spending money. You're someone close to me, my good brother. If you're too reserved, it will seem very strange."

Wang Yang was well aware that they would definitely investigate his and Xiao Jiang's identities when the time came, and they were fully prepared for this.

"Okay, I understand. Don't worry, I won't let your plan be exposed."

The two had just finished speaking when they heard a noise at the door. Wang Yang looked and saw that it was Xiaomi coming out. Moreover, she had a furious look on her face, indicating that she had just had a big tantrum.

Wang Yang was about to take the red wine out when Xiao Jiang stopped him.

"Don't go now. Didn't you see she's angry? She's not someone to mess with."

Wang Yang shook his head: "Don't worry, it's fine. Now is the best opportunity. Wait for the right moment before you come out."

After saying that, Wang Yang opened the door and went out. He was carrying a glass of red wine, and as he walked forward, he accidentally bumped into Xiaomi's shoulder, spilling the wine all over her.

Xiaomi froze for a few seconds, staring wide-eyed at the person in front of her.

"Who are you? How dare you pour red wine on me! Let me tell you, you'll regret this!"

The sound was so shrill that Xiao Jiang could hear it clearly even from inside the room. He felt a pang of sympathy for Wang Yang's plight.

"I'm so sorry, I wasn't paying attention and accidentally spilled red wine on you. I'll buy you a new swimsuit, and I'll have the waiter come and clean it for you right away."

By then, some waiters had already heard the noise and rushed over.

"Miss, I'm sorry, we'll change your swimsuit right away."

"Hurry up!" Xiaomi said through gritted teeth.

"Also, keep an eye on this guy. I'll deal with him properly when I get back from changing into my swimsuit."

Wang Yang was waiting for those words. He had been waiting for Xiaomi outside the locker room. Meanwhile, Xiao Jiang was still inside the room.

After a while, Xiaomi came out wearing a new swimsuit. However, she didn't seem to be in a better mood.

Seeing her come out, Wang Yang immediately stood up. Xiao Mi walked up to Wang Yang and raised her hand, ready to slap him.

Fortunately, Wang Yang reacted quickly and grabbed her hand, taking her pulse as he did so. In fact, he had already noticed that Xiaomi had some liver qi stagnation.

This is largely due to her tendency to lose her temper.

"Let go of me! Let me tell you, how dare you grab my hand! If I don't teach you a lesson today, you'll never know who I am!"

"Miss, I really don't know who you are. But I apologize for my rudeness earlier. I want to tell you that I am a doctor. Does your complexion usually turn yellowish?"

Wang Yang's words only fueled Xiaomi's anger.

"What nonsense are you spouting? I'm perfectly fair-skinned! Are you blind? Can't you see that?"

But Wang Yang knew that her face looked very pale now, which must have been achieved using some kind of technology. Given her severe liver qi stagnation, it was impossible for her to be fair-skinned.

"Do you usually feel that your hands are too weak to hold anything when you wake up in the morning? And do your hands wrinkle easily when you wash your hair or take a shower?"

Xiao Mi was taken aback by Wang Yang's question. She looked at Wang Yang with some suspicion.

"How did you know? Did you send someone to follow me?"

“Miss, what you’re saying is quite interesting. How could I possibly find out about this by having someone follow you? I told you, I’m a doctor. I noticed something was off about your complexion just now, so I took your pulse and discovered these problems.”

Xiaomi chuckled lightly: "Where did you come from, quack doctor? How dare you diagnose and treat me so haphazardly! Do you know? I've seen all the famous doctors in the world!"

"Then what you said isn't quite accurate, because you haven't met me yet. Tell me, give me a week, and I guarantee your face will become very fair, even without those technological methods. All the symptoms I just mentioned will disappear as soon as I give you an injection."

Xiaomi absolutely refused to believe what Wang Yang said. Her body was so precious; how could she let just any stranger give her an injection?

"What you're saying is incredibly naive! Do you even know who I am? You dare to stick needles into me? Don't you want to find out who I am?"

“I don’t know who you are. All I know is that I can tell you’re sick, so I need to treat you. It’s also because I just did something offensive to you.”

Wang Yang smiled and continued, "By the way, do you have some insomnia every night, and do you also sweat a lot after this symptom has only been present for a short time?"

Xiaomi frowned; she had indeed been experiencing this condition recently. She had seen a doctor and received a lot of medication, but her condition hadn't improved.

She's had bad skin since she was little, and she's prone to breakouts. Doctors have prescribed her a lot of medication, but the effects haven't been very significant; cosmetic procedures are much faster.

"It seems you're just guessing as a doctor, aren't you? What you're saying does have some merit, but other doctors have already diagnosed me as well."

"Then, miss, since they have already diagnosed you, it means they don't have the ability to cure you."

Seeing that she didn't believe him again, Wang Yang said, "Actually, I didn't mean anything by it, and I didn't have any ulterior motives. I just wanted to apologize because I accidentally spilled red wine on you."

Xiaomi carefully examined Wang Yang, who was a completely new face to her, someone she had never met before.

“By the way, how come I’ve never seen you before? Logically speaking, everyone here should know each other.” Xiaomi asked.

“I just arrived today. I booked that private pool over there,” Wang Yang replied.

Xiaomi looked in the direction he pointed, and there was the swimming pool opposite her. She remembered that a rich young master had booked the place before, but she had scolded him away.

"Do you know how the people who booked that pool left?" Xiaomi asked tentatively.

Wang Yang shook his head in confusion.

"I'm the one who yelled at him and got rid of him. He actually had designs on my friend and was using all sorts of tricks to pursue her. I couldn't stand it anymore, so I just had him kicked out," Xiaomi explained.

"I see. Don't worry, I'm just here to enjoy myself, I have no other purpose," Wang Yang quickly clarified.

Xiao Mi simply smiled. She had seen too many two-faced people like this and was already used to it. Not only these strangers, but even her friends were mostly scheming.
