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

Chapter 762 Being targeted
Is it still possible to contact the person who made the call?

The man shook his head: "I can't get in touch with them. They use different numbers every time they contact us, either via text message or phone call. When I call back, the numbers are all disconnected. I asked a friend in the city to check before, but they couldn't trace the source at all."

Wang Yang gestured to Xiao Chen, who then took the man's phone and handed it to his subordinates to investigate the origin of the phone numbers.

How much money do they give you each time?

“500,000 each time. Think about it, 500,000 is an astronomical sum in our village. How could we refuse such a good deal? Besides, they didn’t ask us to do anything immoral. They just persuaded you to return.”

Wang Yang fell into deep thought, unable to make sense of it. How exactly did these people know their whereabouts?
"Xiao Chen, think back carefully, is it possible that we've been watched along the way?"

“I think it’s impossible. We came by a very secretive route, taking all the back roads. If someone was following us, we couldn’t have been completely unaware.”

Wang Yang thought about it and agreed. Whether it was the people Shen Qiang sent or the people his aunt arranged, they were all highly skilled. If someone was really following them, they would definitely have noticed.

Either the other party wasn't following them at all, or their strength was so extraordinary that even these experts failed to notice them.

What are your thoughts on this?

“I’m not entirely sure either. But I’m certain that no one was following us. As for how they identified us, I have no idea.”

Wang Yang turned to the man and asked, "Besides you, did they hire anyone else in the village to spy on them?"

"If you're asking about this, I really don't know. They only contacted us and didn't reveal any other information. They just said they would give us accurate information and that we were responsible for getting rid of the people. They didn't say anything else."

Wang Yang nodded, guessing that those people definitely wouldn't let them know too much inside information.

"We've told you everything we know, can you let us go? Now that you've caught us, they should have noticed by now."

How can you be sure they already know?

The man looked up and said, "If we succeed, we'll call or text them. Since there's been no response, they must understand."

Wang Yang looked at him helplessly: "Why didn't you say so earlier? If you had, I would have let you call them."

"You didn't even ask me. Now that things have gotten like this, I don't know what to do."

Wang Yang felt helpless, and had no idea who was behind it all.

"Here's what we'll do. You stay here for now. We'll continue on our journey, and someone will come to release you when the time comes."

As Wang Yang got up to leave, Xiao Chen stopped him.

“We can’t leave now. If we leave now, we’ll lose all our leads. Those people definitely have more than just this one place under their control, and we’ll be in real trouble from now on.”

“I understand. But what’s the point of staying here? We can’t get any more clues from them, so we might as well move on.”

After Wang Yang left, he immediately called Shen Qiang.

"Uncle Shen."

"It's Wang Yang. Xiao Chen has already reported the situation you just encountered to me. I also find it very strange; we've never encountered this situation before when we went there."

Wang Yang frowned. He called Shen Qiang to confirm whether they had encountered any obstacles during their previous search.

"This is very strange. Is there something different this time compared to the past?"

“There’s no difference. I’ve never gone in person before; I always send people. How could this be? Could it be because of Xiao Jiang?” Wang Yang shook his head: “I don’t think so. Xiao Jiang’s identity has never been made public. Only a few of us know it. Even the accompanying staff don’t know. How could they possibly know?”

Shen Qiang on the other end of the phone was also completely baffled. However, since something was amiss, it meant there might be a turning point. His biggest fear was that, like before, they would search for a long time without making any progress.

"Then what are you going to do now?"

“I plan to keep going. They must have people stationed elsewhere as well. Most importantly, they don’t seem to intend to harm us. I’ll see how things go at the next stop.”

Shen Qiang still felt that Wang Yang's decision was somewhat risky, after all, Shen Qing was also in the team.

"Uncle Shen, how about this, I'll take Shen Qing back and not let her risk her life with us. There are indeed dangers along the way."

Shen Qiang considered for a moment, then shook his head: "No need. She hasn't experienced any major ups and downs in her life, but as long as you and Xiao Jiang are here, I'm at ease. Let her come along."

"Alright then, I'll be more careful from now on."

After hanging up the phone, Wang Yang returned to his room, where Xiao Chen was still waiting for him.

“I’ve already spoken with Uncle Shen. Let’s move on. Let these people go. After that, make sure Shen Qing is safe.”

Xiao Chen nodded. Since Shen Qiang had given the instructions, he had no choice but to comply.

"Alright, let the brothers go and rest. We're setting off early tomorrow morning."

Wang Yang slept well tonight. He understood that since the other side had already made a move, the ambush at this location had failed, and they would have to wait until the next location to encounter them again.

When he got up early the next morning, he found that Shen Qing and the others were already up.

"Why are you up so early?"

"What exactly happened last night? I didn't sleep well all night in my room, I didn't dare to close my eyes."

Wang Yang smiled and said, "Didn't I tell you to get some rest? There won't be any danger. I slept quite well last night, and that matter has been taken care of."

Shen Qing could tell that Wang Yang didn't intend to explain in detail to her. But thinking about it, it made sense; even if Wang Yang did tell her, there was nothing she could do to help.

"If there's anything I can help you with, please let me know."

“Not yet.”

Shen Qing nodded somewhat awkwardly: "Will my coming along be a burden to you?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? With you traveling with me, I've enjoyed the beautiful scenery and beautiful women along the way, which has made my mood much better. Just think, how boring would this arduous journey be without you?"

Hearing Wang Yang's words, Shen Qing felt a sweet warmth in her heart, but she still gave him a reproachful look: "Stop with the sweet talk! Nothing really happened last night, right?"

"It's really nothing. Even if something does happen, we will do everything in our power to protect you, so don't worry."

Actually, Shen Qing wasn't worried about her own safety; she was more concerned about whether Wang Yang was injured. But seeing how relaxed he seemed, the trouble must have been resolved.

She caught a glimpse of those people yesterday; they didn't seem like anything special, probably just ordinary petty thieves.

When boarding the bus, Wang Yang and Xiao Jiang deliberately sat in the last row. Only then did Xiao Jiang lean closer and whisper, "What exactly happened last night? You wouldn't let me leave the room, so I didn't have a chance to ask you in detail."
