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

Chapter 776 Looking for Parents
Upon hearing this, Shen Qiang stood up abruptly, his anger blazing. Wang Yang had never seen him lose his temper like this before, especially in front of his daughter; he was always very gentle.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Of course I'm looking for people! They might be living in Peach Blossom Spring. How can I find them if I don't find that place?"

Anyone with eyes could see that if the goal was truly to find someone, the search should have been based on the person as a clue, but Shen Qiang remained fixated on finding the location.

“Wang Yang, she doesn’t understand me, but you should. My initial intention was indeed to find someone, but now we have no leads whatsoever. The only direction we can look is Peach Blossom Spring. If we don’t look there, where else can we look?”

At this moment, Shen Qiang was clearly anxious after being exposed, but he was also worried that Wang Yang would misunderstand and tell Musk later.

Wang Yang nodded, feigning understanding: "Uncle Shen, I understand how you feel. When Shen Qing complained to me before, I explained that finding someone in a vast sea of ​​people is like finding a needle in a haystack, and the location is our only clue at the moment."

Hearing this, Shen Qiang nodded in satisfaction. He knew Wang Yang would definitely stand by his side.

“You’re right. No one has understood my good intentions all these years except you. Only by finding Peach Blossom Spring can we get more clues and eventually find our elder brother and sister-in-law.”

"However, Uncle Shen, I think it's too early to set off now. We've just subdued Xiao Ye, and we don't know what they'll do next."

Wang Yang's words made Shen Qiang fall into deep thought. It was precisely because of this that he hesitated to give the order to set off.

“Even if we’re going, it should be Musk and me. You can send some more people to support us. Shen Qing shouldn’t go. The journey is fraught with danger and unpredictable, and it probably won’t be as smooth as last time.”

Before Shen Qiang could even speak, Shen Qing retorted excitedly, "How can that be? Is it worth risking your lives just to find two people?"

"What's the point of questioning whether it's worth it? Their lives aren't in danger. Those people didn't intend to harm them; they just wanted to get them back. Now that Xiao Ye has been captured, they won't be able to get timely intelligence either."

Shen Qing sneered, knowing that his father's words were all excuses, and that his true goal was always the Peach Blossom Spring.

"Just to find two people, what if they meet with misfortune on the way? Won't you feel guilty then? You won't find them, and you'll end up losing their child."

"Shen Qing, I'm saying this one last time, I must find them."

"If you need someone else, why insist on having Musk go with you? What if something happens to them on the way? Will you have the face to face them then?"

Shen Qiang was furious. His daughter's questioning of him in front of outsiders was clearly a disrespectful act, and even implied that he had ulterior motives.

Seeing the tense atmosphere, Wang Yang quickly stepped in to smooth things over.

“Shen Qing, you can’t say that. Your father has always wanted to find Musk’s parents. And to find them, Musk may indeed need to go there in person, which is why he had no choice but to resort to this tactic.”

“You don’t need to defend him. Only he knows his true purpose. The fact that he has invested so much manpower and resources over the years but still can’t find them suggests that they are likely already dead.”

Shen Qiang was furious, and Wang Yang quickly pulled Shen Qing back into the room. He knew that if the father and daughter continued to confront each other, it would inevitably lead to a more intense conflict.

Why did you pull me back to my room? What did I say wrong? Tell me where I went wrong.

"Not finding him yet doesn't mean he's no longer alive. Didn't you used to think you couldn't find a fiancé?"

Shen Qing immediately turned her face away. Finding this fiancé was worse than not finding him at all. If she had found him before meeting Wang Yang, perhaps she would have had some hope. But since meeting Wang Yang, she had given up all illusions about him. "So what? We were engaged when we were still babies, and we only just met now. I've waited for him for over twenty years. How much longer do you think we have to wait for his parents?"

“You can’t say that. You have to know that Uncle Shen has always hoped to find Musk’s parents; it’s his lifelong wish.”

Shen Qing scoffed: "You just believe what my father says? Have you never suspected that he has ulterior motives? Wang Yang, you're a smart man, you should understand after a little thought."

Wang Yang never expected Shen Qing to say such a thing. It was tantamount to questioning his father in front of a stranger.

“Shen Qing, you should think carefully about the weight of those words. I'll pretend I never heard them. He is your father; you shouldn't doubt him like that.”

“It’s not that I’m necessarily suspicious, it’s just that his motives are too dubious. Think about it carefully, if he really wanted to find Musk’s parents, he wouldn’t need to go to such lengths. He clearly just wants to find a paradise.”

Shen Qing was not stupid. Even if it was her father, she could see through it with a little thought. She didn't believe Wang Yang was completely oblivious.

"Wang Yang, tell me the truth, have you never doubted my father's motives?"

Wang Yang hesitated for a moment, then shook his head: "I truly believe that Uncle Shen is a grateful person, so I am not surprised that he did this."

“I used to think so too. But after thinking about it carefully, is repaying a debt of gratitude really that important? Didn’t he have any selfish motives? Wang Yang, you’re not stupid, think about it carefully, is this even possible?”

At this moment, Wang Yang was struggling internally, unsure whether he should confess to Shen Qing. After all, that was her father, and even if he knew the truth, she might not be on his side.

“Shen Qing, I don’t want you to doubt your father like this. No matter what, he’s doing this for your own good. He won’t hurt you, and he won’t hurt Musk.”

"That's not necessarily true. If he really valued Musk, he should have gotten us married sooner. But Musk has been back for so long, have you heard him mention marriage at all?"

Shen Qing's words left Wang Yang speechless for a moment. Indeed, normally, Shen Qiang should be busy preparing for his wedding, but he hadn't mentioned it at all.

If Musk hadn't been unwilling to marry Shen Qing in the first place, and if his identity hadn't been special, he probably would have become suspicious long ago.

"To be honest, I didn't think anything was wrong at first. But after sorting things out, I realized that my father had been looking forward to his fiancé's arrival, but when he came, he was unmoved and still obsessed with finding a paradise, even trying to take advantage of Musk. That's when I realized something was wrong."

Wang Yang sighed softly. It seemed Shen Qing wasn't entirely clueless; she probably couldn't hide what her father had done from her.

"Do you know something? Can you tell me?"

“I don’t know anything, all I know is that I have to help Musk find his parents. As his best friend and brother, I have an obligation to do so.”

Looking into Wang Yang's sincere eyes, Shen Qing shook his head helplessly. Perhaps Wang Yang and Musk never doubted Shen Qiang's original intentions.

"Perhaps, maybe my father hid it too well, so none of you noticed."
