Chapter 779 Shocking Secret
"How could this be? Absolutely impossible! Are you sure it's that bookstore?"

"Musk, calm down and examine it carefully."

Musk still refused to believe that the bookstore in the photo, which they had used as a contact point for many years, could suddenly be transferred.

Does this mean they've already evacuated?

“Exactly. This is our agreed-upon code. If the bookstore is available for rent, it means they are in danger and everyone should evacuate. It's an instruction for me to take refuge on my own.”

Wang Yang was puzzled. How could they have suddenly encountered danger? Musk had remained tight-lipped, and Shen Qiang had no way of finding them. If he had truly discovered something, Shen Qiang should have taken action long ago.

"This is strange. Shen Qiang clearly had no idea where they were, so why did they suddenly leave?"

"Please check again when the bookstore will be available for rent."

The spy took the order and left.

"Musk, calm down. Once we find out what happened, it might just be a misunderstanding."

“Absolutely impossible! This bookstore has been operating for many years, since I came to Shen Qiang’s side, and has always served as a contact point. It has never made a mistake.”

Wang Yang wondered to himself, could it be that the other party withdrew in advance because they were worried about the leakage of secrets due to Musk's arrest? If that were the case, wouldn't it mean that they no longer trusted Musk?

"Could it be that they foresaw the danger and therefore evacuated beforehand?"

“No. We had an agreement that if I were arrested, they would close the bookstore. Closure means they might face a search. But if it's a transfer of ownership, it means they are indeed facing real danger.”

Musk was in a state of panic, racking his brains trying to figure out what kind of crisis they were facing that required such a hasty evacuation.

Soon after, the scout returned quickly.

"It has been confirmed that the bookstore posted a rental notice last Monday, and all staff members have disappeared, leaving only an agent to look after it."

Wang Yang pondered that the agent must be a temporary substitute they had found, and had no connection with the organization.

“I have sent people to monitor that agent, but I have not seen any unusual behavior.”

"It seems they foresaw the danger and evacuated in advance. The agent was just a front; we had an agreement to find anyone to act as our agent in case of danger, and he was completely unaware of this."

Musk was devastated, as it meant he had lost contact with the organization. That bookstore had always been their only communication hub.

"Wang Yang, are you sure Shen Qiang really has no clues? He really didn't find them?"

“I was certain before. If he had discovered something, he wouldn’t have been so fixated on you, nor would he have considered you the only clue. But now it seems, could it be that he has something in secret that he hasn’t revealed to me?”

But this doesn't make sense. Shen Qiang had no reason to suspect Wang Yang, so why would he secretly conceal it?
Xiao Chen frowned deeply and began to carefully recall the ins and outs of the whole incident.

Wang Yang suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "Wasn't last Monday the second day of your hospitalization? Could it be that they're planning to rescue you?"

“But how did they know I was hospitalized? Shen Qiang kept this a strict secret; apart from you few, nobody else knew.”

That's absolutely true. Shen Qiang has completely blocked the news; it's impossible for outsiders to know that Xiao Chen is hospitalized. If word gets out, someone might indeed come to rescue him.

"No, they're in danger, I have to go find them. If anything happens to them, I'll be held responsible."

"Where are we going to find you now? We're all over the country. Besides, Shen Qiang is doing everything he can to catch you. He'll capture you as soon as you show your face."

Seeing Xiao Chen's anxious expression, almost to the point of tears, Wang Yang understood that he was worried about those who would be implicated because of him.

"Don't worry, now that they've evacuated, it means they sensed danger, and they're definitely safe now."

"That's not necessarily true. If Shen Qiang keeps sending people to hunt them down, who knows..." Before Xiao Chen could finish speaking, he couldn't bear to imagine the unforeseen consequences that might befall them.

"Don't you have any other ways to contact me?"

"No more. The more ways you contact someone, the less secure it is. I've only used this one channel all these years, and it's never gone wrong."

That's why Xiao Chen was particularly worried. The bookstore had been open year-round, rain or shine, and its sudden closure left him feeling very uneasy.

"Here's what we'll do. Just stay here and don't think too much. We'll come up with a plan later. You absolutely cannot go out right now."

Xiao Chen was also aware that if he acted rashly now, he would not only be implicated, but Wang Yang would also be affected.

"Don't worry, I won't do anything rash. You should go back soon too. How do you plan to report to Shen Qiang?"

"It's very simple. Just say that someone planned a meticulous rescue operation to take you away, and it's only natural that we couldn't find you."

Xiao Chen hesitated slightly. In fact, he had known a secret for a long time and had been considering whether he should tell Wang Yang.

But now he has lost contact with the organization, and if he wants to re-establish contact, he may need Wang Yang's help. Revealing this secret now might be beneficial to both of them.

"Wang Yang, there are some things I think it's time to tell you. Shen Qing may not be Shen Qiang's biological daughter."

These words shocked not only Wang Yang, but also Xiao Jiang, who was standing next to him, so much so that he almost knocked over his teacup.

"What did you say? Shen Qing isn't Uncle Shen's daughter? Then whose child is she?"

"I don't know about that, and I wouldn't dare to investigate rashly, otherwise it would definitely arouse Shen Qiang's suspicion. I secretly did a paternity test for them a few years ago."

Wang Yang never expected that Xiao Chen would uncover such a secret.

"Are you sure? Are the test results reliable?"

"Of course. I had two diagnoses done. Actually, I had my suspicions for a long time. If he really loved his daughter so much, why would he disregard her happiness and make her wait for a fiancé?"

Wang Yang had had doubts before, but he had never considered this possibility. He never imagined that Shen Qing was not Shen Qiang's biological daughter.

"Does that mean Shen Qiang doesn't have a biological daughter at all? That's not right, what about the arranged marriage?"

"I don't know about that. The arranged marriage is probably true; the marriage certificate is proof. But I don't understand why this daughter isn't their biological child."

Since Xiao Chen is unable to go out to investigate, this matter can only be verified by Wang Yang.

"I'm trapped here now. Shen Qiang has eyes and ears everywhere outside, so there's no way to investigate."

Wang Yang nodded. He understood that Xiao Chen chose to tell him now because he had lost contact with the organization.

If we want to re-establish contact in the future, we will need Wang Yang's help; perhaps this matter can provide some clues.

"I truly never thought about this. No wonder Shen Qiang doesn't care about Shen Qing's happiness."

He wondered if Shen Qing would side with them if she knew the truth.

"Shen Qiang has too many secrets about him; I can't see through him at all."

"Yes, I've been by his side for so many years, and I discover shocking secrets every now and then."
