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

Chapter 786 Two in the Morning
Wang Yang devised this plan precisely because he knew that Shen Qiang was completely unaware of the background of the forces behind the scenes, and even if their people impersonated the other party, Shen Qiang would have difficulty seeing through their deception.

"That's for the best. Hopefully, Shen Qiang won't suspect anything. Let's get some rest first; they'll probably make their move around 2 a.m."

Xiao Jiang agreed, and the two went to rest. A few hours later, the clock struck two in the morning.

The hotel suddenly lost power, but most of the sleeping guests didn't notice. A moment later, Wang Yang and his group's room door was gently pried open. He and Xiao Jiang immediately woke up and exchanged a glance with the person who entered. Then, Shen Qing's room door was also opened silently.

Xiao Jiang then cooperated with the intruders to pry open the doors to the other rooms. The entire process was carried out silently. Wang Yang, flashlight in hand, came to Shen Qing's bedside and gently woke her.

"Shen Qing, it's me, Wang Yang. Wake up."

Shen Qing woke up groggily from her sleep, and the moment she saw Wang Yang, her heart almost stopped.

"Wang Yang? What are you doing in my room? What happened?"

"I just discovered that the door has been pried open; someone has probably broken in. Get up quickly and take your belongings."

Hearing Wang Yang say that, Shen Qing quickly grabbed the backpack she had prepared beforehand. Having learned her lesson last time, she was wiser this time and didn't scatter all her things in her suitcase.

Worried about repeating the chaotic experience of last time, she was well-prepared this time. The two hurriedly escaped to their car downstairs, and soon Xiao Jiang and Xiao Chuan arrived as well.

"We need to get out of here quickly, those guys seem to be catching up."

Shen Qing looked back and saw several people rushing toward their car.

"But the people Uncle Shen sent haven't come down yet, what are they going to do?"

"I don't know, but we have to leave immediately, or we'll be caught up."

Wang Yang nodded in acknowledgment, and Xiao Jiang immediately started the car. The group sped away, leaving their pursuers far behind.

By the time Shen Qiang's men realized what was happening, Wang Yang and his group had already driven away. Worse still, all their communication equipment had been destroyed, and they were now completely unable to contact Wang Yang.

“They were too cunning; the first thing they did upon entering the room was to steal our phones.”

Those who woke up hurriedly searched for Wang Yang and the others, only to find that the car had also been driven away. Now they were at a loss, unable to contact anyone or find any trace of them.

After Wang Yang and the others had driven some distance, Shen Qing was still anxiously looking around, trying to find a place where she could make a phone call.

"It's so late, and all the doors are closed. We can't borrow a phone either. Let's find somewhere to stay for the night and contact them again when it gets light."

Of the four people in the car, only Shen Qing was probably anxious to contact Shen Qiang and the others; the other three were figuring out how to change their route as soon as possible.

"Wang Yang, where do we go now? Let's just find a place to stay for now."

"Not now, we have to change direction, otherwise we'll be caught up. You should sleep in the car for a while, don't worry about these things."

Hearing this, Shen Qing couldn't help but feel doubtful. The safest course of action now would be to find a place to stop immediately and contact them again after daybreak. Otherwise, if they went further and further away, those without cars would have no chance of catching up.

But judging from Wang Yang's words, it seemed that he had no intention of going back to find them at all, but instead wanted to go to another place alone.

Moreover, it seemed Wang Yang had no intention of explaining anything. However, Shen Qing believed that Wang Yang would never do anything to harm her, so she fell into a deep sleep peacefully.

When she woke up, she found herself in an unfamiliar place. She keenly noticed the unusually dry climate and the fact that they had passed through a desert, and immediately realized, "Wang Yang, we're heading west."

"That's right, we're heading northwest."

Shen Qing frowned: "Now can you tell me? What exactly are you planning?"

"Wait a little longer, I'll tell you the details when we get to the hotel. Everyone's tired now, and we've already taken turns driving several times."

Hearing this, Shen Qing felt a little embarrassed. She had slept through the night, mainly because she hadn't rested well the night before and was still groggy when Wang Yang woke her up.

"Let me drive, you guys take a break."

"No need, there's a hotel up ahead, we've already made a reservation. We can just get some rest there."

Upon arriving at the hotel, Wang Yang didn't say much to Shen Qing. After assigning rooms, they each went to rest. Only Shen Qing tossed and turned in her room. She knew she could borrow a phone from a hotel staff member to contact her father directly.

The people her father sent would definitely try to contact her so they could pinpoint her exact location. Wang Yang hadn't instructed her not to contact anyone; what did that mean?
Logically, the first thing Wang Yang should have done after arriving at the hotel was to contact Shen Qiang, but he did not.

After much deliberation, Shen Qing suppressed the idea and decided to wait until Wang Yang and the others woke up before making any plans.

In the afternoon, there was finally a knock on Shen Qing's door. When she opened it, Wang Yang was standing outside.

"Are they awake? Have they all rested well?"

"You've all rested enough. Let me come in and talk to you. I'm sure you have many questions about this matter."

Shen Qing stepped aside to let Wang Yang into the house. Wang Yang went straight to the sofa, sat down, and took a sip of water.

"You said before that your father's goals were different from ours, do you remember?"

Shen Qing nodded. Of course she remembered; in fact, she had always been very clear about it.

"Since our goals are different, our directions are likely to diverge as well. It's a rash decision of mine to bring you along this time."

"So you mean you're not planning to work with my father's men anymore, and you're going to search on your own?"

Wang Yang did not deny it, and nodded slightly: "That's true. And I took it upon myself to include you on our side. I think the fact that you were willing to say those things to me before at least shows that you were willing to support me, right?"

Although Shen Qing had said those things, she never imagined she would be at odds with her father. In her view, her father could continue searching for his Shangri-La, and Wang Yang and the others could also search for the people they were looking for; the two were not inherently contradictory.

"But why did you leave secretly? You could have discussed it with my father properly."

"Don't you understand? Your father has an almost obsessive attachment to that Peach Blossom Spring. The real purpose of sending so many people to protect us is to use us to find the Peach Blossom Spring. As for whether he can find anyone, he doesn't care at all."

Upon hearing this, Shen Qing suddenly realized. It turned out Wang Yang had been feigning ignorance all along.

"So you knew everything. I thought you were really that naive and completely believed my father's words. I was worried about you before."

"After all, you are his daughter, I can't say these things in front of you."
