Chapter 791 The consequences are disastrous
"If they have truly reached a safe place, why don't they come looking for me? Have they forgotten that they have a son like me? Your parents could not possibly have forgotten you."

"To tell you the truth, the last time I went out to find Peach Blossom Spring, I was stopped by someone. They caused trouble at the hotel where we were staying, trying to force us to return to Beicheng."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Su frowned. His first thought was: Could it be that the group of pursuers from back then have reappeared?
"Could it be that your pursuers from back then have returned? No, they should have retired long ago. More than twenty years have passed, how did they know your identity?"

“We captured one man, but I later rescued him. His name was Musk, and he had been in contact with his superiors. His orders were to force us to return to North City, stop the search, and say that it was dangerous ahead. I suspect he was sent by my parents, but he himself was unaware of it.”

Hearing this, Xiao Su's thoughts were in turmoil. If the captured person was truly sent by Wang Yang's parents, why wouldn't they show themselves and reveal themselves?

"If your parents already know your true identity, why are you still hiding?"

"First of all, they may not know my identity. Let me tell you the whole story in detail. We first went to Haicheng to find a man named Shen Qiang, because my aunt said that my parents knew this man."

Xiao Su nodded slightly. He had indeed heard of this person, but he wasn't sure if he was the same Shen family member they had mentioned back then.

"I needed to confirm whether he was a true friend of my parents or one of their pursuers from back then. It turned out he wasn't a pursuer, but he was determined to find the paradise. As I followed his leads, I discovered Musk lurking in his midst."

Xiao Su was puzzled: "What is Musk's purpose in lurking around Shen Qiang? He hasn't made a move against Shen Qiang all these years. Doesn't the person behind him know that Shen Qiang's position is contrary to theirs?"

Musk infiltrated Shen Qiang's inner circle primarily to ascertain his true strength. Although Shen Qiang is the apparent overlord of Haicheng, his sphere of influence extends far beyond that.

These words shocked Xiao Su. Although Haicheng was not as prosperous as Beicheng, it was still an important economic center. If Shen Qiang's power was indeed so great, it was indeed unsettling.

Is Musk safe now?

Wang Yang nodded affirmatively: "I have placed him in a safe place. Shen Qiang was pursuing him with all his might before, and I hadn't figured out how to get rid of him yet, but his current location is relatively safe."

During this time, Wang Yang went out and asked his aunt to meet with Musk. He doesn't know how Musk is doing, but he has sent people to protect him.

"Musk previously told me that his instructions were to report our whereabouts to his superiors, who would then send people to stop us from finding the paradise, but he never intended to harm us."

Xiao Su seemed thoughtful. If the other party had no intention of harming Wang Yang, the only reasonable explanation was that the person behind the scenes knew Wang Yang.

"In other words, the person behind Musk is very likely your parents."

“I initially thought so too. But Musk was just a low-level employee and had never met the mastermind behind it, so he didn’t know either.”

However, based on this speculation, the possibility is indeed very high.

"But if they really are your parents, why don't they come to acknowledge me? Just like my parents, if they knew I was here, they would definitely come looking for me."

As he said this, Xiao Su could not hide his disappointment. He had not seen his parents for many years and had even given up hope, feeling that if they were still alive, they would never have abandoned him to live alone.

Wang Yang felt guilty towards Xiao Su. After all, Xiao Su's parents had left to save his parents back then.

“Don’t worry, Xiao Su. As long as my parents are alive, your parents must be safe and sound too. If we work together, we’ll definitely find them.” “But we have no clue. I don’t know anything. I was too young back then.”

Wang Yang sighed softly. If Xiao Su didn't know, he had even less to do with it. Xiao Su was already several years old then, while he was still just an infant in swaddling clothes.

"No problem, we'll definitely find it. Musk is also actively looking for clues; he knows more than we do."

Although Musk has lost contact with his superiors, they will surely try to contact him once he is safe.

"Could we start with Musk?"

“I have instructed him to notify me immediately if there is any news. However, it is not safe for him either, and it is not easy for his superiors to contact him.”

To prevent Shen Qiang from finding Musk, Wang Yang ordered a tight security cordon around Musk's surroundings. Even if his superiors knew he was there, it would be difficult to contact him, let alone since they had no idea where he was. If even Shen Qiang couldn't find him, they certainly couldn't.

“I remember my parents saying that the Peach Blossom Spring is in the northwest of our country. So I have always lived here, even though I know I can’t find it, I always feel closer to my parents.”

When your parents left, did they say where they were going?

After thinking it over carefully, Xiao Su shook her head: "They didn't say anything, only that they were going back to find your parents and that they had to protect them if they were in danger. During our escape, they kept trying to contact your parents. After they got in touch, they left me alone in the orphanage."

Actually, Xiao Su didn't blame her parents; it was their duty. She just couldn't bear missing them.

"Did they really not tell you anything? Think about it carefully. Did they say anything about how to find them if something happens to them, or how to do so after you leave the orphanage?"

"No, there isn't. However, I seem to vaguely remember some things about Peach Blossom Spring."

Even Xiao Su herself couldn't tell whether these images appearing in her mind were dreams or fragments of real memories.

“Recently, I’ve been recalling some things, but I’m not sure if they’re true or not. It seems that to open the Peach Blossom Spring, we need to rely on your bloodline, or rather, your father’s bloodline.”

"What does 'bloodline' mean? Does it mean we need to perform a blood test to prove kinship when we go in?"

Xiao Su shook her head in confusion: "To be honest, I'm not sure either. It seems to be a rumor I heard years ago, but my memory is too vague. I can't tell whether it's a real experience or a dream."

Wang Yang pondered for a moment. If their blood was indeed required for entry, this explanation made sense and could explain why Shen Qiang was so eager to find him.

Otherwise, Shen Qiang could have simply gone to find Peach Blossom Spring; why go through all the trouble of searching for his fiancé? This question lingered in Wang Yang's mind. The fiancé's appearance was already an obstacle, and the consequences of learning the truth would be unimaginable. Shen Qiang's willingness to take such a great risk and wait was likely due to the reason Xiao Su had mentioned.

“Xiao Su, I think this statement is very likely true. Shen Qiang has been making his daughter wait for her fiancé, but the fiancé is meaningless to him. If only the fiancé can enter the Peach Blossom Spring, then everything makes sense.”
