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

Chapter 760 Unlike ordinary bandits

Since learning that Musk was her fiancé, Shen Qing hadn't slept well. She knew nothing about him, and most importantly, she had absolutely no feelings for him.

In the past, she might have tried to get along with him, and even if they married, they could treat each other with respect. But now she already has someone she likes, and this person is always in front of her.

She simply can't bring herself to develop feelings for another person now.

"You don't look well, what's wrong? Haven't you been sleeping well lately?"

"I haven't been sleeping well lately," Shen Qing said softly. Even if she hadn't said it, Wang Yang already knew why.

"When you rest later, I'll give you a few acupuncture needles so you can get a good night's sleep."

"I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep well for the rest of my life. Are you going to give me acupuncture and treat me every day?"

Wang Yang said helplessly, "Do you feel wronged being with Musk? But you should have known long ago that he might not be your ideal choice."

"Yes, I knew a long time ago. Actually, I didn't have high hopes, mainly because I already had someone I liked."

As Shen Qing spoke, she turned and looked directly at Wang Yang. How could Wang Yang not know she was referring to him? But seeing that Wang Yang was pretending not to understand, Shen Qing didn't want to press him.

"Okay, I was just kidding. I'll get along well with Musk along the way. Even if we can't be lovers, at least we can treat each other with respect, right?"

“That’s right. Actually, Musk is a very nice person. He was an orphan when he was young and was adopted by my mother. He has always been very hardworking and honest, but he doesn’t talk much.”

Shen Qing nodded: "I understand. Actually, I can tell he doesn't have any bad intentions; he's a reliable and dependable person."

"That's good. When it comes to marriage, character is the most important thing."

Shen Qing looked at the road outside the window, somewhat puzzled:

"Where are we heading? It feels like we're driving further and further into the countryside."

"Of course. A paradise like Peach Blossom Spring couldn't possibly be built among skyscrapers, could it? It must be in a sparsely populated area, so we avoided the city."

Shen Qing sighed: "But there's not a soul in those places, isn't it dangerous and inconvenient to stay in?"

“We weren’t planning on staying in a hotel. Didn’t you see this car? People can sleep in it, though it might not be very comfortable.”

Shen Qing originally thought the RV was for the accompanying personnel, and that they would stay in hotels. Unexpectedly, they would also be sleeping in the RV throughout the journey.

She had been pampered since childhood and had never experienced hardship, so she was not used to it for a while.

“We’ll stay at hotels when we find them. But in places like this, it’s safer to sleep in the car.”

Shen Qing understood what Wang Yang meant. Many of the men her father had sent out before had been hunted down.

If they stay in a hotel, they will likely encounter the same situation.

"Okay, I got it. I'm not that capricious, so I'll just sleep in the car."

As long as Wang Yang was by her side, Shen Qing felt no fear. Unconsciously, she had developed a dependence on this person.

After driving into a small town, the car stopped on the outskirts.

"Cars can't go any further, we have to walk. They'll take a detour to get the car through. Let's go first, and if it doesn't work out, we'll find a hotel to stay in."

Xiao Liu suggested.

"Okay, let's get off the bus then."

Seeing that Shen Qing was still somewhat reluctant, Wang Yang took her luggage.

"I'll get it for you."

"No need, there are so many people here, let them carry it." It has to be said that the people Shen Qiang sent really came in handy. They traveled empty-handed, with all their luggage being taken care of by those people.

"This village looks so lively. It's been a long time since I've experienced this kind of everyday life."

"Yes, I thought rural areas were all backward. Those houses I just saw are quite impressive."

Wang Yang laughed: "You're really out of touch. Nowadays, houses in the countryside are quite elaborate."

Before long, the group found a small inn. It looked fairly clean and was probably the best-equipped one in the village.

Wang Yang turned to Shen Qing and said, "Let's make do here for the night. We'll go back to the car to sleep once they bring it over. The conditions at the inn might not be ideal, so please bear with us."

"It's alright, you don't need to worry about me. But is this store safe?"

At this moment, a companion stepped forward and replied, "The surrounding area has been checked, so there shouldn't be any problem. They're all ordinary villagers, so there's unlikely to be any danger."

"Okay, everyone, let's go in."

After settling in, everyone went to bed. However, late at night, a strange noise suddenly came from outside the window. Wang Yang immediately got up and happened to meet Shen Qing and Xiao Jiang, who had also been awakened.

"What's going on? I think I heard some strange noises."

A colleague on night watch came to report: "There were a few petty thieves trying to sneak in and steal, but we've already apprehended them."

Wang Yang frowned slightly: "Interrogate them carefully. I don't think they are just ordinary thieves."

"Judging from the method, it seems to be a gang crime, there were several people involved. They are probably local repeat offenders who wanted to make a quick buck from us since we were strangers."

Wang Yang always felt something was amiss. Their trip was clearly discreet enough, and they even sneaked in in batches, so they shouldn't have attracted attention.

"Go and question them further to see if it's just a simple theft. There might be more to it than meets the eye."

At this moment, Musk, who was sent by Shen Qiang, also rushed over upon hearing the commotion.

“Wang Yang’s consideration is reasonable. This group of people is indeed not like ordinary thieves. Look how skilled they are. If they really relied on this skill, they should have gone to big cities to develop long ago. Why are they stuck in this poor and remote place?”

Wang Yang and Xiao Jiang exchanged a glance, both keenly sensing that this group was likely after them.

"But we were very careful along the way and didn't realize we were being followed. How did they know we were staying here?"

"It's still unclear. We must find out as soon as possible and deal with this group. Otherwise, the risks will only increase as we go on."

Wang Yang nodded and said, "That's right. In that case, you all rest first, and I'll go with him to interrogate them. I want to see what kind of people these are."

Just as he was about to leave, Shen Qing grabbed his sleeve.

"Don't go, just let them handle it. What if there's danger? Besides, I'm scared to be alone."

"Don't worry, Xiao Jiang will be with you. We have enough manpower, nothing will happen. Besides, everyone's been taken into custody; if we don't get to the bottom of this, then it will be truly dangerous."

Hearing Wang Yang's words, Shen Qing had no choice but to let go. She had originally wanted Wang Yang to keep her company in the room—after such an incident so soon after checking in, she felt that this inn was not a safe place.

"Alright then, come back as soon as possible. If you can't get any results from them, just leave it to them to handle."

"Okay, you can rest now. If we want to continue our journey tomorrow, we'll have to get up early."

After saying that, Wang Yang followed the others to the next room, where he saw three men with their hands and feet bound squatting in the corner.

"Look, these are the three. Their modus operandi is quite professional; I don't think they're ordinary thieves."
