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

Chapter 784 Let's deal with it first.
"But have you ever considered that perhaps he won't return to his hometown, but will instead go elsewhere to develop his career?"

"I'm more inclined to believe he'll return to Peach Blossom Spring. How about this, Xiao Chuan, could you stay by my side and help me for a while?"

After a moment's thought, Ogawa nodded in agreement: "I had some things to take care of, but since you asked me for help, I can't refuse. Besides, I really want to find that childhood friend."

"If you have something to take care of, you can go and deal with it first."

"Here's what we'll do. Give me a week. I'll come back here in a week, and then we'll set off to search."

Wang Yang nodded in agreement and had Musk escort Xiao Chuan back to his guest room. At that moment, he was pondering how to persuade Shen Qiang to allow them to continue their search for Peach Blossom Spring.

If they delay any longer, the hope of finding the boy will become increasingly slim. More importantly, he must get Shen Qiang's consent to bring Shen Qing along.

Now that it's known Shen Qing isn't Shen Qiang's biological daughter, Shen Qiang certainly won't show her any mercy. If anything unexpected happens, it would be safer for Shen Qing to stay with Wang Yang.

The next day, Wang Yang arrived at Shen Qiang's residence. He had stayed home the day before, citing an important matter to discuss with Musk.

"Wang Yang, you didn't explain clearly on the phone yesterday. What exactly is the matter?"

"Uncle Shen, yesterday Musk confided in me that he desperately wants to find his biological parents. But I feel that the timing is not right now, so I have been trying to reassure him."

These words made Shen Qiang frown. He understood Musk's eagerness to find his family, and he felt it was his duty to help, but the current situation did not warrant a long journey.

“Actually, I think so too. I long to find my brother and sister-in-law more than anyone else, but as you can see from the current situation, the power behind Xiao Ye has not yet been investigated, and even Xiao Ye herself has escaped. I am really worried about letting you travel at this time.”

Wang Yang knew that Shen Qiang's concern was that Musk might encounter danger along the way—if that were the case, his hope of finding the Peach Blossom Spring would be even more remote.

"Uncle Shen, I have an idea: we can try to travel again. If the forces behind Xiao Ye don't make any big moves, we might actually be safe."

"How can we take such a risk? We still vividly remember how they tried to stop us last time."

Wang Yang calmly shook his head: "Uncle Shen, this situation is very different from last time. I think the reason they didn't go all out is because they are afraid of your power. Now that you have arrested Xiao Ye, they dare not act rashly. So I think now is the best time."

These words made Shen Qiang fall into deep thought. He naturally longed to find the Peach Blossom Spring, but he was indeed worried about the dangers along the way.

"Wang Yang, can you guarantee that we won't encounter any more dangers on this trip?"

Wang Yang pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Uncle Shen, to be honest, Xiao Jiang and I discussed this until late last night. We believe that this trip should not encounter too much risk, as long as we are more cautious. Since Musk and the others have already escaped, they shouldn't be foolish enough to continue following us."

Shen Qiang had considered this possibility before, but he never dared to take the risk easily.

“What you say makes some sense, but it’s still too risky. How about this, I’ll send an advance team to scout ahead first.”

"Uncle Shen should understand that since the other party chose to take action, they must know of Xiao Jiang's existence. His true identity has probably been exposed for a long time."

Shen Qiang understood the underlying meaning of Wang Yang's words: he was implying that Xiao Jiang had to be taken along in order to find the person behind the scenes.

"In that case, I'll double your manpower this time. Let the vanguard lead the way, you proceed in the middle, and another team will provide support from the rear. This arrangement should be more secure."

Wang Yang hadn't expected Shen Qiang to agree so readily, and even if he did, he would definitely increase the security.

"Then so be it. By the way, Uncle Shen, should we let Shen Qing come along this time? Last time we were trying to set her up with Xiao Jiang, and things were progressing, but then something unexpected happened."

Wang Yang's actions were actually a test of Shen Qiang. If he truly loved his daughter, he would never let Shen Qing take such a risk. But if he only wanted to use Shen Qing to win over Xiao Jiang, it would prove that in his eyes, his daughter was nothing more than a pawn in his search for a better life. "Alright, let Shen Qing come along. Xiao Jiang's situation is special; let them spend more time together, which will also help prepare for their future marriage."

Upon hearing this, Wang Yang was even more grateful for his decision. Luckily, he planned to bring Shen Qing along, instead of leaving her with Shen Qiang.

"Rest assured, we will never let Shen Qing come into any danger."

"Wang Yang, I trust you completely. Once we find your elder brother and sister-in-law, this position will eventually be yours and Xiao Jiang's."

Wang Yang smiled calmly, neither agreeing nor disagreeing, and then took his leave.

Back at his lodgings, he told Xiao Jiang about his decision. Upon hearing that Shen Qiang had agreed to let Shen Qing accompany him, Xiao Jiang couldn't help but feel sorry for Shen Qing.

"I never expected Shen Qiang to be so heartless. No wonder Shen Qing isn't his biological child. It's just a pity for Shen Qing."

"She is still kept in the dark and knows nothing about it."

In the middle of their conversation, there was a sudden, urgent knock on the door. Wang Yang opened the door and saw Shen Qing standing there, looking furious.

Presumably, Shen Qiang had already informed her of the news, and now he had come to confront her.

"Wang Yang, what exactly are your intentions? I made myself perfectly clear before, didn't you understand? My father wasn't looking for Xiao Jiang's parents at all; all he cared about was Peach Blossom Spring!"

Shen Qing was practically screaming. She thought Wang Yang already understood the mystery, and if he truly did, he would never have agreed to continue the search.

“I understand completely, and I fully comprehend your feelings. But that doesn’t stop us from continuing our search.”

"I'm absolutely furious! My father's target was never Xiao Jiang's parents, but Peach Blossom Spring! They will never help you find them!"

Seeing Shen Qing's excited expression, Wang Yang suddenly found it somewhat amusing. Regardless, Shen Qing was now on their side.

"Shen Qing, do you know what you're doing? You're betraying your own father and revealing his true intentions to us."

"This is not betrayal; I am simply standing on the side of justice."

When she said this, Shen Qing didn't think she had done anything wrong. She had always been able to distinguish right from wrong and would never let personal feelings cloud her judgment.

"Then Shen Qing, have you ever thought about this? Since we know your father's purpose, why do we still continue to search? He wants to find the Peach Blossom Spring, but he will also help us find the person we are looking for."

Shen Qing had indeed considered this, but was worried that her father might harm them.

"Have you considered the possibility of conflict along the way? What if the two sides disagree on their objectives?"

"There's no need to worry about these things for now; you just need to come with us."

Shen Qing knew that Wang Yang had suggested to his father that she accompany him, but she didn't understand why.

“I have a question: why do you insist on persuading your father to take me with you? Don’t use the excuse of cultivating a relationship as an excuse. Your father believes that, but I don’t.”
