Chapter 777 Thick Smoke
"Alright, stop doubting Uncle Shen. Everything he did was for our own good. He also hopes that Musk will find his biological parents soon so that the family can be reunited and you can get married as soon as possible."

Shen Qing snorted coldly and shook his head helplessly. Perhaps it was precisely because their initial intentions were different, coupled with the fact that his father had concealed it so well, that Wang Yang and the others had failed to see through it.

“Wang Yang, to tell you the truth, I now believe that my father doesn’t actually want to find Musk’s biological parents. He’s been searching for a paradise. And that paradise might be hiding a huge secret or some kind of treasure.”

After saying this, Shen Qing noticed that Wang Yang did not show the slightest surprise on his face.

"What, do you think everything I'm saying now is just absurd speculation?"

"That's not what I meant. I just think you shouldn't question your father like that. He should be honest with you."

Shen Qing forced a bitter smile. She found it increasingly difficult to understand the true motives behind her father's actions.

“I originally thought he was a loyal and affectionate person, which is why I was willing to wait with him for a fiancé who might never appear. It wasn’t until Musk appeared that I realized my father’s purpose was far from simple.”

Wang Yang frowned. In fact, he had never wanted Shen Qing to know the whole truth—after all, he was her biological father, and knowing the truth would only disappoint her. Besides, she had no right to stop anything.

Therefore, even though Musk made several proposals, he never considered bringing Shen Qing to his side. He understood that this would be a painful choice for Shen Qing.

Even if Shen Qing ultimately decides to stand on their side, she will never feel good inside.

However, if Shen Qing discovers the truth and makes her own choice, then Wang Yang will have no further concerns.

"Perhaps Uncle Shen does have other plans, but I believe he at least has one goal: to find Musk's parents, right? That coincides with ours. As for what else he's looking for, that's beyond our control."

Hearing this, Shen Qing was quite surprised. According to Wang Yang, he had long known that his father's purpose in searching for Peach Blossom Spring was not pure.

"So you knew all along that my father's search for Shangri-La wasn't just about finding Musk's parents?"

"To be honest, I only had my suspicions. I felt he shouldn't have put you in such a risk, much less be so persistent. It was just a guess at first, but after hearing what you said, it's probably true."

Wang Yang could never tell Shen Qing the whole truth. First, he couldn't be sure if Shen Qiang had sent his daughter to test him, and second, he was even less certain whether Shen Qing would still travel with them after learning the truth.

"It seems you only have doubts. To be honest, I have my doubts too. But since so many people doubt him, it means there are indeed problems with his methods. Why do you think he's so determined to find that Peach Blossom Spring?"

Wang Yang shook his head and said, "To be honest, I don't understand either. I just feel that Uncle Shen gets unusually excited every time he mentions Peach Blossom Spring, and he seems determined to get it. I suppose that thing is extremely important to him."

Shen Qing gave a cold laugh. How could this thing possibly be important to him? It didn't belong to him at all; it was Musk's parents' inheritance. His persistent search for it could only mean he had ulterior motives.

"I'm wondering now, my father has achieved both fame and fortune, what could possibly be so captivating to him? I just can't figure it out."

"Could it be even greater fame and fortune? You know, human desires are insatiable, like a snake trying to swallow an elephant. Even with a fortune, he might still want more."

In fact, Wang Yang had also considered the question raised by Shen Qing. Indeed, with Shen Qiang's current status and wealth, he was already one of the most prominent figures in Beicheng, so why would he still pursue those illusory things?
This shows that his desires and ambitions go far beyond this. He may not only want domestic dominance, but also world domination. It is perhaps this ambition that has sustained him to where he is today. "I really don't understand. And now I can hardly say a word to him anymore. Every time I try to dissuade him from seeking a utopia, we end up arguing."

“I saw it just now too. Uncle Shen was indeed about to get angry, which is why he pulled you out. Don’t argue with him about this anymore; you and your father have completely different perspectives.”

Wang Yang only hoped that Shen Qing would stop provoking Shen Qiang. In this matter, what Shen Qiang wanted might be more important than his own daughter.

"But do you really think those things are more important than me? If I had really been in danger on the way, would my father have regretted it?"

To be honest, Wang Yang found this question difficult to answer. Judging from Shen Qiang's various actions, the Peach Blossom Spring might indeed hold more weight in his heart than Shen Qing.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have let Shen Qing accompany them in the first place. Perhaps he believed that the younger generation was more likely to find the paradise, even at the cost of sacrificing his daughter, which is truly lamentable.

"Alright, don't overthink it. You should know your place in Uncle Shen's heart. How has he treated you all these years?"

This was precisely what puzzled Shen Qing. Shen Qiang was indeed a good father, respecting her and providing her with a superior environment and education. But on this matter, she couldn't understand him at all.

"Wang Yang, tell me honestly, when you interrogated Xiao Ye before, did he really not say anything?"

"If he really said anything, I will definitely inform Uncle Shen in time. After all, this concerns Musk's parents, and I cannot hide it from them."

Shen Qing nodded: "Alright. Actually, I want to ask him myself, to find out who is behind him, what grudge he has with my father, and what my father is planning. Xiao Ye should know these things, right?"

"Shen Qing, don't get too involved in this. Just focus on running the company well and don't interfere in other matters."

However, the more Wang Yang tried to dissuade her, the more determined Shen Qing became. She understood that Wang Yang was concerned for her safety, but since the matter was dangerous, it meant that important information could definitely be obtained from Xiao Ye.

"Alright, I understand. I won't talk back to Father anymore. You don't need to be on guard against me all the time. I'm leaving now."

Wang Yang wanted to stop Shen Qing, but she walked too fast. He knew that his words had angered her.

But in any case, the plan to rescue Xiao Ye was already underway, and he absolutely could not let her get involved and ruin things.

The following night, neither Wang Yang nor Musk were present at the scene. They needed alibis, so they had dinner with Shen Qiang that evening.

Since Shen Qiang and his daughter had just had an argument the night before, Wang Yang arranged this meal under the pretext of mediating their relationship, which was perfectly reasonable.

But then a major incident occurred at the hospital. The power suddenly went out on the third floor where Xiao Ye was located, and thick smoke filled the air, leading everyone to mistakenly believe that a fire had broken out.

During the evacuation, Xiao Ye was switched and abducted. None of the guards noticed, and the other person replaced him with another patient.
