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

Chapter 764 Immediately Return to Room to Check
"Actually, I've thought about that too. But we must find out who's behind it all. Where did they get our information from? Who leaked the news?"

Shen Qiang shook his head and said, "The people around me would never leak this, and neither could you. Only the two of you know the complete plan."

Wang Yang thought carefully and realized that apart from his aunt, no one else knew the itinerary. The key point was that his aunt only knew that they were heading west, but she didn't know the specific route at all, so it was impossible for her to keep track of their whereabouts.

“Uncle Shen, you know that Musk and I don’t usually have a wide social circle. Besides, this trip was arranged by you at the last minute, and you didn’t even tell us the general location…”

Hearing Wang Yang say this, Shen Qiang realized that it was indeed the case. Initially, Wang Yang and his group had no idea of ​​the specific direction of their journey, so naturally they couldn't have leaked the information beforehand.

His personnel are all rigorously selected, and they have been dispatched on numerous missions in the past without any mishaps.

"Then what's your opinion?"

“I think it’s very likely that someone set up an ambush beforehand to deliberately hinder our search for Peach Blossom Spring. Xiao Ye and I discussed it, and we could try heading south. If we encounter obstacles in the south as well, it would actually confirm that our original westward route was correct.”

Upon hearing this, Shen Qiang suddenly understood: "I understand your intention. This is indeed a good idea. How about this, I will send some more men, and you can head south."

Although Shen Qiang had previously sent personnel to the south, the main force was always concentrated in the west—he always believed that Peach Blossom Spring was most likely to appear in the west.

"But you said those people didn't seem to mean any harm to you?"

"That's true. Even if they wanted to take action, they probably wouldn't have the power. The people they've deployed are likely scattered, and they don't seem to be core members, but rather temporary personnel who have been bribed."

Shen Qiang frowned, utterly baffled by the intentions of the person behind the scenes. Why force them back to Beicheng without harming anyone? Could it be that place harbors hidden dangers?

"Are those people really not going to hurt you?"

"Yes. The first group made it clear that they would only drive people away and not harm them, and the person who broke into Shen Qing's room the second time only sat quietly and did not harm her."

That's why the whole thing seems so strange. If it really was the work of those assassins from back then, they would probably be dead already.

"You previously said that someone was hunting down Musk's parents, but based on the current situation, it shouldn't be the same group of people."

“That’s right. Those people are ruthless. If they dare to harm even us, they certainly won’t show us any mercy. So our previous guess was probably wrong.”

Now the enemy is in the dark while we are in the light; they know nothing about the enemy's whereabouts, but the enemy knows their movements perfectly well.

"Alright, you can set off tomorrow. I'll arrange for someone to meet you along the way; that would be safer. Also, please take good care of Shen Qing; she's always treated you like an older brother."

Wang Yang smiled slightly: "Of course, don't worry, I will take good care of her on the way."

How could Wang Yang not understand the underlying meaning in Shen Qiang's words? These words were clearly a reminder that no matter how good his relationship with Shen Qing was, it could only ever be that of siblings.

Ultimately, only Musk can marry Shen Qing. But Wang Yang couldn't help but wonder: can these two really become husband and wife? It's too early to draw conclusions now.

Wang Yang gathered everyone in his room.

“I just spoke with Uncle Shen on the phone and decided to change course and head south. This is actually a test; we want to see if we will still encounter obstacles if we go south.”

"This series of events is too bizarre. Should we go back to Beicheng and discuss this further?" After the terrifying experience last night, Shen Qing was still shaken and couldn't sleep.

"I've already asked Uncle Shen to arrange for a female bodyguard to come over. You can share a room tonight; it'll be safer that way."

Wang Yang had initially intended to offer to send Shen Qing back, but he figured that even if she were willing, Shen Qiang would never agree. Since that was the case, it was better to let her stay. "So, when do we set off?"

"Please make do in my room tonight. I'll have the waiter bring some bedding. The men can sleep on the floor, and Shen Qing can sleep on the bed."

After last night's close call, I'm sure everyone is having a hard time sleeping. It would be more reassuring to gather together.

As expected, almost no one slept well. The next morning, although everyone looked tired, they were still quite eager to leave this place of trouble as soon as possible.

"Wang Yang, who do you think is the mastermind behind this?"

"I'm not sure either. Let's see how it goes when we head south. If there are more ambushes, we'll really have to go back to the north," Wang Yang sighed. Even though Shen Qiang hadn't explicitly stated it, for everyone's safety, if they encountered another ambush in the south, they would have no choice but to turn back.

"If we had known this would happen, we shouldn't have come. We should have let Uncle Shen send someone himself. Our arrival has only caused so much trouble."

Wang Yang shook his head and laughed, "How can you blame us? You were essential to this trip. If you hadn't shown up, those people might not have shown up at all."

"Then how would they know my true identity? That's a ridiculous question."

This is precisely what baffled them—how did the other party know Musk's true identity? Wang Yang is the rightful heir; did the other party know his background?

This is impossible! Even Shen Qiang and the others were kept in the dark, so how could outsiders know? This mystery baffled Wang Yang.

"Alright, let's not think about it for now. Let's change our route later. If we encounter any more obstacles, we'll return to the North City immediately."

Musk always felt that searching aimlessly was not a good idea. His primary task was to help Wang Yang find his parents, but if things continued this way, he might lose his life before even finding them.

The group changed direction and headed south, soon meeting up with the reinforcements sent by Shen Qiang.

Around 6 p.m., they found a hotel and booked the presidential suite for a safer stay.

In the dead of night, while everyone was sound asleep, cries for help suddenly came from downstairs. They were awakened to find a fire!

"Everyone, get downstairs immediately! Do not linger!"

The hotel guests all fled. They only had time to grab their personal belongings, but fortunately, they left their valuables in their cars.

The fire was finally extinguished about an hour later; it turned out to be an accidental fire in the kitchen.

"How could the kitchen suddenly catch fire? Who would be cooking so late?"

"I guess the chef is preparing tomorrow's breakfast. This is too outrageous."

"I've been staying in hotels for so many years and this is the first time I've encountered something like this..."

Listening to the surrounding discussions, Wang Yang suddenly became alert: This is too much of a coincidence?

"When you are allowed to go upstairs later, go back to your rooms immediately to check. I suspect this is not a simple matter."

Wang Yang looked around and confirmed that everyone was there and no one was injured before he felt a little relieved.
