Chapter 787 Is that right?

Shen Qing frowned slightly: "Then why are you willing to talk about it now? Am I no longer his daughter?"

Wang Yang's heart skipped a beat. If he weren't certain that Shen Qing couldn't possibly know the truth, he would almost have thought she had already discovered the secret.

“I’ve thought about it for a long time and I think I should still take you with me. The fact that you were willing to say those things to me means that you agree with my thoughts, and you also believe that finding the right person is the most important thing, right?”

“That’s right, of course Xiao Jiang wants to find his biological parents, that’s only natural. As for my father’s insistence on finding that Peach Blossom Spring, I really don’t understand why.”

Wang Yang pondered to himself, "No one really knows the truth; everyone is just speculating. Perhaps there really is a huge treasure hidden in Peach Blossom Spring, otherwise Shen Qiang wouldn't have gone to such lengths."

“I’m not interested in what’s in Peach Blossom Spring. If Uncle Shen wants to search, let him continue. But what I can’t understand is why he insists on using our help. We just want to find people. What he’s doing is only delaying us, so I want to split up with him.”

This was an explanation Wang Yang had prepared in advance, so that Shen Qing wouldn't suspect they had ulterior motives.

“I see. If you had told me earlier, I would definitely have supported you, and you wouldn’t have kept it from me for so long. My father did not handle this matter very well.”

"Now that you understand, you can make your own choice. If you don't want to stay with us, I have ways to send you back."

In fact, Wang Yang knew very well that Shen Qing would choose to travel with them, and he had been prepared for this for a long time.

"Since we're already here, we might as well make the best of it. Why would I go back? Besides, it's so boring being with them. They're looking for a paradise, and I'm not interested in that."

Even though she was curious about what was in Peach Blossom Spring, she preferred to stay with Wang Yang.

“Alright, in that case, let’s head in this direction. But there’s something I need to remind you: do not contact your father or anyone else along the way. Once he finds our location, our entire plan will be ruined.”

Shen Qing smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, I'm not that stupid. While you were resting, I was thinking about whether to contact my father, but then I realized that you hadn't contacted him either, so I figured you had other plans and I didn't do it."

Actually, what Wang Yang did just now was a test for Shen Qing. If she really contacted her father, Wang Yang would send her back immediately.

Fortunately, Shen Qing chose to believe him, so they were now on the same side.

"Okay, just follow our instructions from now on. We plan to head northwest to find someone who knows Xiao Chuan. He might know where the person we're looking for is."

"So, Ogawa was one of yours all along."

Wang Yang smiled slightly: "That's right. In such a large group, only Xiao Chuan and Xiao Jiang are my people. The rest were arranged by your father. I forced Xiao Chuan in. He was a friend of mine before. I saved his life, so he's helping me now."

Hearing this, Shen Qing couldn't help but feel puzzled. Wang Yang was just an ordinary doctor, so why were the people around him all skilled in martial arts?

But then I thought, Xiao Jiang might have learned kung fu for self-defense, and this person might be someone who hangs out in the underworld, and was treated by Wang Yang after being injured. Wang Yang is a doctor, so it's not surprising that he knows these kinds of people.

"Wang Yang, although I don't know exactly what you're planning to do, and you don't have to tell me everything, could you please let me know in advance if there's an emergency in the future?" Shen Qing really didn't want to go through this situation again. She had been kept in the dark the whole time, and even though Wang Yang didn't intend to harm her, she still felt uneasy.

"I'm sorry, today is indeed a special situation. Only in this way can we get rid of your father's people. If you feel this is inappropriate, I apologize."

As Wang Yang stood up, about to bow in apology, Shen Qing quickly stopped him.

"Don't do that, I was just saying. There's no need for such a formality. Just let me know in time in the future, and I'll cooperate with you in any operations. Don't worry, I won't let my father find us."

Wang Yang smiled and nodded: "If your father knew that you were helping us like this, I wonder what he would think."

“There’s nothing I can do. Although I’m his daughter, I’m also a person with independent thinking. I know that everything he’s doing is wrong. Do you know what’s really in Peach Blossom Spring? Why is my father so determined to find it?”

"If even you don't know, how could we possibly know?"

Shen Qing sighed. Wang Yang was right. She had asked her father several times before, but he had never given her a straight answer.

"Actually, I always thought he was a very loyal and righteous person who only wanted to find Xiao Jiang's parents. Later I found out that this was not the case. I really can't understand what is in Peach Blossom Spring that can fascinate him so much."

Wang Yang understood why Shen Qing couldn't understand. In her view, Shen Qiang already possessed such great power and wealth that nothing should be able to tempt him.

"Perhaps he just wants to find that place, nothing more. Think about it, Uncle Shen has wealth and status, what else could he lack?"

“You’re right, my father really has everything. To be honest, and I’m not bragging, our family is the richest and most powerful family in Haicheng. Even in Beicheng, we would rank among the top.”

Wang Yang knew that Shen Qing wasn't exaggerating. Xiao Ye had told him before that Shen Qiangyuan was not as simple as he seemed, and that he was hiding a huge amount of wealth behind him, which he had just never revealed.

As the saying goes, a tall tree catches the wind. Shen Qiang had intentionally allowed the Liu family to subtly surpass them in certain aspects, so that everyone's attention wouldn't be focused solely on him. If he became the target of public criticism, and various forces in Haicheng united against him, he would have no choice but to find another place to go.

Shen Qiang's goal wasn't here; he didn't want to be the richest man in Haicheng, nor did he want to develop his career in Beicheng. His sole purpose was to find his Shangri-La, and he wouldn't allow anything to stand in his way until he achieved it.

"I find it a bit strange that you're saying this. Didn't you always seem to be wary of the Liu family? You even said they might surpass your family in the next few years."

Wang Yang asked this question on purpose, knowing that Shen Qing must know the inside story.

"You're overthinking it. How could they possibly surpass us? That was something my father told me to deliberately spread so we could keep a low profile and avoid becoming the target of everyone's criticism. But you can't tell anyone else this; only you know."

Wang Yang nodded with a smile: "Who else could I tell? I know this is a company secret and I won't just tell anyone."

"This is not only a company secret, but also our family's biggest secret."
