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

Chapter 755 Repaying kindness with hatred
Musk scoffed. If they really found the treasure, wouldn't they be doing all the work for someone else? Once they got their hands on it, Shen Qiang would definitely forcibly take it away.

"Are we really going to help them find the treasure?"

"Of course I have to go, I can't refuse. Besides, I really want to find the Peach Blossom Spring. What if there really is that tiny chance, like Shen Qiang said, that my parents are inside?"

Perhaps they've encountered some difficulties and can't get away. In any case, Wang Yang is determined to find that place.

"Oh dear! My memory is terrible!" Musk suddenly slapped his forehead. "There's something important I forgot to tell you, your aunt is arriving tonight."

Wang Yang looked at him helplessly: "Why didn't you say something so important earlier?"

"I've been so focused on acting today that I can't think about anything else. She'll probably arrive at the airport in about an hour, shall we go pick her up?"

Wang Yang shook his head: "No. You must send someone to pick you up discreetly and bring you directly to me. Since Shen Qiang knows your identity, he will definitely send someone to keep an eye on you."

Musk readily agreed. His ability to evade tracking is unparalleled.

Two hours later, Wang Chunfang arrived as scheduled.

"Auntie, I'm so sorry, that silly Musk forgot to tell me you were coming."

“It’s alright, Musk told me everything on the way,” Wang Chunfang said with admiration. “Your move was brilliant. Presenting a fake fiancé was a perfect way to test his true intentions. I’ve never heard of that Shangri-La he mentioned. Your mother severed ties with her family back then and insisted on leaving with your father, so there are many things we don’t know…”

They only had fragmented information about Wang Yang's father, saying that he came from a wealthy family that was once incredibly rich, but later, for some unknown reason, the family fell into decline.

"In my opinion, Shen Qiang's purpose is definitely not simple. According to him, there may be a huge secret hidden in Peach Blossom Spring, or rather, something he has been dreaming of."

Wang Yang agreed: "The most likely explanation is wealth. You see, his company is facing a crisis right now, and he's been waiting for me to appear, hoping I'll find his Shangri-La."

This shows that there was something he desperately needed in Peach Blossom Spring, otherwise he wouldn't have spent so much time and energy there.

"So what are your plans now? Are you going to go with him to look for him?"

"Of course I'll look for it. But he showed me a map yesterday, saying it was located to the west. I wrote the map down, but after studying it, I felt something was off."

Shen Qiang himself wasn't particularly bright. Although he consulted many experts, they all agreed that Peach Blossom Spring was in the west. Despite searching everywhere, he found nothing.

"Auntie, I've copied that picture, and I'll show it to you now."

Wang Yang guessed that his knowledgeable aunt might be able to see some clues.

Wang Chunfang took the map and examined it closely: "This doesn't look like a map of our country. Why is he so convinced it's in the West?"

"I don't know either. Maybe someone he hired misled him. But with his shrewdness, he must have searched all over the place, just focusing on the West."

Wang Chunfang, however, offered a different perspective: "I think this is actually a map of Peach Blossom Spring. You see, the whole thing is Peach Blossom Spring, and what he wants might be in the western region. Could that be the case?"

Wang Yang had also made this guess, but the map was too unfamiliar; it was neither a map of his own country nor did it match those of other countries.

"If it's a map of an island, we probably couldn't draw it, right?"

"Of course. Since Peach Blossom Spring is so hidden, it's impossible to mark it on a map. It's just that I don't know its exact location either."

This problem left everyone deep in thought. Although the map had been drawn, the marked locations were still puzzling. "I guess Shangri-La might be built on an island. We're all inland, could it be on some floating island?"

Wang Yang shook his head: "If it were an island, it would be easier to find. my country has few islands, and a thorough search could be completed in a few months at most. Shen Qiang sent so many people and still couldn't find it, which means it's definitely not on an island."

Wang Chunfang agreed with this assessment. This place had a peculiar shape; if such a special terrain truly existed, it would have been widely known long ago, yet she had never seen it before.

"Could this be an old map? Many places have changed since then?"

"I've checked historical maps, but I haven't found anything similar. I really don't know where it is."

Wang Yang understood that if it were so easy to find, Shen Qiang would have succeeded long ago. His parents probably built Peach Blossom Spring to prepare for this day.

"Do you think it's possible that my parents have always lived in Peach Blossom Spring?"

"Then why haven't they come looking for you all these years? It's actually quite easy to get out; surely it's not a place where you can only enter but never leave?"

Wang Yang thought about it and agreed that it made sense.

"But could it be that their presence would expose their whereabouts, so they dare not come out?"

“Since your parents had the ability to build Peach Blossom Spring, they must have arranged for many people inside. Even if they didn’t come out, they could have sent someone to deliver a message. Since no one has come out, it means they might not be here at all.”

These words dashed Wang Yang's hopes once again. Seeing his gloomy expression, Wang Chunfang knew that the feeling of giving hope only to be disappointed was even more unbearable.

"I'll keep this picture for now and study it later. I'll be staying here for a while longer. As for Shen Qiang... try to get more information out of him."

Wang Yang knew that if he wanted to get more information, he could only start with Shen Qiang. After all, Shen Qiang had been searching for them for so many years, and his clues were undoubtedly the most abundant.

"Won't Shen Qiang become suspicious of you? If Xiao Jiang really is his fiancé, he should investigate further, right?"

"Even if we investigate, we won't find anything. It's just too much of a coincidence. The most likely explanation he can come up with is that we deliberately approached him. But this only confirms that one of us is definitely the target he's been waiting for all these years."

Wang Chunfang agreed, but it was still uncertain who it was. Whether it was Wang Yang or Xiao Jiang, Shen Qiang only needed to take the two of them with him to find Peach Blossom Spring.

"So what are his plans for Xiao Jiang and Shen Qing's marriage?"

"This is where he revealed his biggest flaw. He made his daughter wait for so many years, but now he is not in a hurry to hold the wedding at all. Instead, he proposed to find Xiao Jiang's parents first."

Upon hearing this, Wang Chunfang snorted coldly; she had long suspected that Shen Qiang had ill intentions.

Has he mentioned before how he met your father?

"He said he had known my father since before he started doing business. My father saved him when he was in dire straits, and his kindness was immense. The company he is in now is also thanks to my father's support back then."

Wang Yang sighed deeply. Shen Qiang's actions were clearly an act of repaying kindness with enmity.

"By the way, I suddenly thought of a question: how did he get his hands on that map?"
