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

Chapter 785 What is the intention?

Upon hearing this, both Wang Yang and Xiao Jiang looked embarrassed. They hadn't expected Shen Qing to see through their scheme so easily.

"Actually, I've long seen that you have no intention of bringing me and Xiao Jiang together. Xiao Jiang doesn't have that intention, and neither do you. I just can't understand what you're trying to achieve?"

"Then let's be frank. Our only goal is to find the person; we don't care about anything else. As for your father, we know he's looking for a place, but the person he's looking for is very likely there. Do you understand?"

Wang Yang's words were convoluted, and Shen Qing had to carefully analyze them to make sense of them: in essence, it was a transaction of mutual exploitation, but Shen Qiang was still kept in the dark.

"I understand what you mean. But I still don't understand, why do you insist on taking me along?"

She didn't believe Wang Yang was unaware of the dangers of this trip. Given Wang Yang's character, if he knew there was danger, he would have told her to avoid it.

"Because I personally believe that it is safest for you to stay with us."

When Wang Yang said this, Xiao Jiang hurriedly tugged at his sleeve, but Wang Yang still spoke frankly. Shen Qing was filled with doubt upon hearing this.

"What do you mean? Does that mean it's not safe for me to stay by my father's side?"

"That's not what I meant. I just think it would be more appropriate for you to come with us. Besides, you are exceptionally intelligent, and with you here, we might be able to find clues faster."

Shen Qing was incredibly intelligent and immediately sensed that Wang Yang's words were insincere. But she couldn't understand why Wang Yang felt it was unsafe for her to stay with her father.

"Fine, since you're unwilling to tell the truth, I'll wait patiently until the day you're willing to be honest."

"Go and get ready, we'll be leaving on time next Monday."

Shen Qing looked at Wang Yang with suspicion, feeling that this man harbored a huge secret, making him even more unpredictable than Xiao Jiang. Xiao Jiang was merely introverted and taciturn, but in reality, he was simple-minded, with only his martial arts skills being noteworthy. Wang Yang, on the other hand, was resourceful and truly unfathomable.

"Then you all should get some rest. I'll head back now."

Xiao Jiang breathed a sigh of relief after Shen Qing left.

"Why did you say those things just now? Wouldn't that make her suspicious? You know how perceptive Shen Qing is."

“That’s exactly what I did on purpose. I wanted to gradually help her accept the truth.”

Xiao Jiang pondered for a moment, then suddenly opened his eyes wide and understood Wang Yang's intention.

"You want her to know that Shen Qiang is not her biological father?"

"She'll find out about this sooner or later. Rather than letting her suddenly discover that the father she's loved for so many years isn't her biological father, it's better to make her wary of Shen Qiang first."

Xiao Jiang frowned in thought, agreeing with Wang Yang's words. If this happened to him, it would indeed be unbearable. But if he had already completely lost faith in that person, perhaps he could accept it to some extent.

"Alright, I'll leave this to you. I can't bring myself to say it, but I advise you to proceed step by step."

Wang Yang nodded and said, "Don't worry, I'll gradually make her see Shen Qiang's true colors along the way. You should also prepare well, and make sure our manpower keeps up."

The key is that they will take Xiao Chuan to the Northwest to search for people, and Shen Qiang's men will definitely report back in time. If they really find Peach Blossom Spring, Shen Qiang will know immediately.

Therefore, they had to find a way to split into two groups, which was the most difficult part. Monday arrived in the blink of an eye. Xiao Chuan had returned on Sunday. Shen Qiang personally came to see him off when he departed.

"I remember you were in this same car last time you went out, and I saw you off here too. Although you returned empty-handed last time, don't put too much pressure on yourself this time. If you really can't find it, just go back as soon as possible."

As he spoke, Shen Qiang patted Wang Yang's shoulder heavily. He knew that all these heavy burdens rested on Wang Yang's shoulders alone.

"Don't worry, Uncle. Even if we can't find it this time, we will definitely bring back important clues."

After getting into the car, Wang Yang lowered his voice and asked Xiao Jiang, "Have all the preparations been completed?"

"Don't worry, everything is arranged. We'll pretend that it was those mysterious people who did it. We'll feign getting separated in the chaos, and then take the opportunity to get Shen Qing away."

Wang Yang nodded slightly. He was certain that Shen Qing would follow him, and taking her away wouldn't be difficult. The key was to avoid the spies that Shen Qiang had planted.

They are currently heading south because Shen Qiang had previously discovered fewer clues in the south and planned to try his luck there.

Upon learning of this, Wang Yang couldn't help but chuckle to himself. Shen Qiang had originally been searching westward, and if he continued in that direction, he might actually stumble upon the Peach Blossom Spring by sheer luck. But he had changed his mind at the last minute.

After arriving at the hotel that evening, Shen Qiang's men thoroughly inspected the entire hotel several times before they were finally comfortable letting them check in.

Late at night, Wang Yang and Xiao Jiang shared a suite, while Shen Qing was assigned to the room opposite theirs.

"After the power goes out, I'll go directly to Shen Qing's room to take her away. You can arrange for Xiao Chuan and the others to meet her downstairs, and you'll be responsible for covering their retreat."

Xiao Jiang nodded solemnly: "The surveillance footage has been processed. After we get in the car, we'll head straight west, avoiding all possible roadblocks. Besides, this isn't Shen Qiang's territory, so he can't find anything even if he wanted to."

"But there's a problem. Have you figured out how to explain this to Shen Qing?"

With Shen Qing's intelligence, even if she couldn't see through it for the time being, she would soon realize that Wang Yang and his group were deliberately avoiding her father's people.

“I haven’t fully thought this through yet. But I know she will definitely be on our side. Didn’t she say before that her father’s goals are not aligned with ours, and she warned us to be careful?”

Xiao Jiang was still somewhat worried about Shen Qing's reaction. No matter what, in her heart, Shen Qiang was still the father who had raised her for many years. Even if she eventually learned the truth, this bond of parental love would be difficult to sever.

"Are you planning to tell her the whole truth? Aren't you afraid she won't be able to handle it?"

"She'll find out sooner or later. It's better for me to tell her than for her to be kept in the dark her whole life."

If Shen Qing were someone who blindly obeyed Shen Qiang, Wang Yang might not have revealed this secret. But she has her own opinions and doesn't agree with her father's current actions, which makes Wang Yang feel obligated to tell her the truth.

She's hesitant now because she still considers Shen Qiang her biological father, making it difficult for her to make a completely rational judgment. Once she learns that Shen Qiang isn't her biological father and that his adoption of her might have ulterior motives, Shen Qing might take the initiative to investigate the truth, which would save them a lot of trouble.

“I still think what you’re doing is too risky. Wang Yang, I advise you to reconsider.”

"Okay, I'll consider it carefully. There's still plenty of time. The key is whether the people you arranged tonight will give themselves away, right?"

Xiao Jiang patted his chest and assured him, "Don't worry, those people are all professionally trained and will absolutely not make any mistakes. Besides, Shen Qiang has no idea what kind of people the other side will send. Even if it's one of our people in disguise, he won't be able to tell the difference."
