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

Chapter 763 is exactly right.
"There has indeed been a problem, but we're clueless right now. You need to be extra careful on this journey, as there's a good chance someone at the next stop will try to force us to leave."

Upon hearing the last few words, Xiao Jiang looked confused: "What does that mean? They're not here to steal anything, they're just trying to kick us out? Where are we being kicked out to?"

"They wanted to stop us from continuing our investigation and force us to return to Beicheng, but they didn't seem to have any intention of harming us."

Thinking of this, Wang Yang felt utterly helpless. Why were those people trying to stop them from finding Peach Blossom Spring? Most importantly, who was the mastermind behind it all? Could it be the same group that hunted down his parents back then?
If they were truly the enemies who were hunting down his parents, they shouldn't have shown them any mercy. So why did they refuse to harm them in the slightest?
"This is too strange, how could this happen?"

"Yes, I spoke to Uncle Shen on the phone last night, and even he couldn't figure it out. It's precisely because we find it strange that we need to observe further at the next stop."

Xiao Jiang nodded solemnly: "To be honest, this matter is indeed getting more and more complicated."

"Don't overthink it. Right now, you're Shen Qing's fiancé. Just play your role well. The most important thing is to ensure her safety."

Although most of the people Shen Qiang sent were there to protect Shen Qing, Wang Yang was still worried.

After all, among them, Shen Qing was the only one who didn't know martial arts. If the other party really wanted to control them, the most effective way would be to directly subdue Shen Qing.

Xiao Jiang understood this principle, so he stayed close to Shen Qing at all times, even when the two had nothing to say to each other.

"Don't worry, no matter what happens, I will stay by her side and protect her."

Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to explain it to Shen Qiang when I get back.

When they finally arrived at the next stop, everyone except Shen Qing felt that danger was lurking everywhere, but no one could say where this sense of danger came from.

"We've arrived at the station. Let's get ready to get off. Let's find a suitable hotel first."

Although they said they would go looking for a place, in reality, their entourage first scouted out the area before Wang Yang and his team finally selected one.

"This place is nice, I'll stay here. It's clean and tidy, and there are quite a few guests."

This was precisely what Wang Yang valued most. Last time, only their group stayed at that hotel. Although they checked in in shifts, the timing was too coincidental, making it hard not to suspect they were accomplices. This time, the chosen location was much more bustling, already housing many travelers, making it easier for them to blend in and avoid being detected.

"You deliberately chose this place, didn't you? There are so many people around, they might not recognize us," Xiao Ye whispered to Wang Yang.

“That’s right. If you can still be recognized here, then something really wrong is going to happen.”

At this moment, Wang Yang silently prayed that those people wouldn't come knocking on his door again. Otherwise, it would mean that someone might have leaked the news.

After checking in, everyone was assigned rooms and about to rest when a scream suddenly came from Shen Qing's room late at night. Everyone rushed out of the room and flung open her door.

"What happened, Shen Qing?"

Wang Yang, who lived across the street from her, was the first to rush into the room. Shen Qing immediately threw herself into Wang Yang's arms.

"Someone just broke in, I don't know what they wanted to do. They disappeared as soon as I called them."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ye immediately led his men downstairs to chase after them, but unfortunately, the other party escaped too quickly and had already disappeared by the time they arrived.

"We didn't catch them, they ran too fast. Are you sure it was just one person? Or several?"

Shen Qing recalled, "There was only one person. He didn't do anything, he just sat down across from me."

Wang Yang immediately realized that this must have been sent by that group again. They were just sitting there to scare people and didn't intend to actually do anything. "Alright, don't be afraid, these people won't really do anything."

"So what exactly are they trying to do? Are they with the group from yesterday? What is their purpose?"

Xiao Ye suddenly coughed lightly, and only then did Wang Yang realize that he and Shen Qing were in an overly intimate position—the two were embracing tightly, and Shen Qing was still nestled in his arms.

Seeing Xiao Ye's strange expression, Shen Qing quickly stepped back. The scene immediately became awkward. Everyone present knew that Xiao Jiang was Shen Qing's fiancé, but the scene before them clearly showed that she was closer to Wang Yang.

"You should rest now. Leave this to us. We'll have someone keep watch outside your door tonight, so everything will be fine."

"But how did that person get in? It looks like they climbed in through the window. Never mind, I'm not going to sleep, I really can't sleep."

Wang Yang nodded and said, "Alright, let's catch up on sleep during the day. Let's go out and discuss our strategy."

"Xiao Ye, what do you think is going on? Did those people already know us, or did they get information from the previous stop?"

Xiao Ye shook his head and said, "Impossible. The previous group is still under our control and hasn't been released yet. They have no chance to contact the outside world, let alone know our whereabouts."

Wang Yang had expected this to happen. He had originally planned to have Xiao Ye release the people after they left, but given Xiao Ye's personality, he was sure she would teach those people a lesson for a while longer.

"That's strange. Could it be that we were being watched when we left Beicheng? That shouldn't be the case. Uncle Shen has never encountered this situation before when he sent people out."

“You’re right. I’ve been on business trips with Boss Shen before, but I’ve never been exposed like this before, as soon as I stepped out the door.”

Xiao Ye was also wondering if someone had recognized him. But that was impossible; he always wore a mask before and had never shown his true face like this.

"What should we do now? We're in a dilemma. Why don't you call Boss Shen and ask for his opinion?"

The main problem is that neither of them can make up their minds right now, while Boss Shen is, after all, very experienced.

Wang Yang agreed and immediately called Shen Qiang.

"Wang Yang, what's wrong with your call so late?"

"Uncle Shen, I'm sorry to bother you so late. We've encountered another unexpected situation, and someone is trying to stop us from moving forward. We really don't know how to deal with it."

Upon hearing this, Shen Qiang sat bolt upright in bed. He had never expected that this trip would encounter so many obstacles.

"How could this happen? We've sent so many people before, and we've never encountered anything like this. What on earth is going on this time?"

"We're confused too. Have you traveled this route before?"

Shen Qiang pondered for a moment: "According to the route map Xiao Ye sent, you must have walked this route before, and more than once. It is precisely because of your experience that you have been able to make such a fast progress; otherwise, you would have had to take many detours. But this situation has never happened before."

Wang Yang and Xiao Ye exchanged a glance, both utterly perplexed: why did they have to encounter such a series of unexpected events this time? How did those people manage to target them?
"We don't even know who the other side is right now. Although we can't be sure, this route might just be the right one."

"How about this, Wang Yang, you change direction and head south. Let's see if you encounter any obstacles if you go south?"

If there are no obstacles heading south, Shen Qiang can confirm that the current westward route is the correct direction, and Peach Blossom Spring should be to the west.
