Chapter 794 Unusually Calm
These words sent a chill down Wang Yang's spine. Although he knew Shen Qiang was ruthless, hearing it so bluntly was still terrifying.

"I understand. I'll tell her, but could you give me two more days?"

"Okay. But Wang Yang, you must hurry. We must find Peach Blossom Spring and your parents as soon as possible. You need to know that Shen Qiang will never let his guard down. Once he finds out where you are, they will come over immediately."

Wang Yang was well aware of this. Their presence in the Northwest couldn't be kept secret for long; Shen Qiang would definitely launch a full-scale search.

Once Shen Qiang discovers that they deliberately escaped, he will likely become suspicious. At that point, Wang Yang will no longer be able to pretend to be on his side, and the two sides will completely break off relations.

"I understand. I will talk to her properly and help her accept this fact."

For the next few days, Wang Yang remained constantly worried. He truly didn't know how to bring it up with Shen Qing. He could solve even the most difficult problems, but this was something that left him completely at a loss.

"You're sighing all day and still can't come up with a solution. If you ask me, just tell her directly. She might even be happy to know she's not Shen Qiang's daughter."

Xiao Jiang said dismissively. Who would want to be the child of a villain like Shen Qiang?

"But after all, he's been her father for so many years, and he's always treated her very well. Before this incident, Shen Qing never had any complaints about him, as you know."

Xiao Jiang had to admit that Wang Yang was right. Before the truth came out, Shen Qiang had indeed pretended to be a good father, and Shen Qing must have had deep feelings for him.

"So what? After all, it was Shen Qiang who caused her family to be destroyed."

"But the Civilization side is only speculating. We can't be sure whose child she is yet. What if she isn't?"

Wang Yang was worried that if Shen Qing was just an ordinary child that Shen Qiang had adopted from elsewhere, it might be better for him to never know the truth.

“I understand what you’re struggling with. You’re worried about Shen Qing’s background. But let me tell you, no matter whose child she is, she has the right to find her biological parents. You can’t deprive her of that right based on your own assumptions.”

Wang Yang understood this perfectly well. He also hoped that Shen Qing could find her biological parents after learning the truth, perhaps they were still alive, which would put her mind at ease. But getting her to accept this fact was indeed not easy.

"Okay, okay, stop talking. I understand, I'll tell her the news as soon as possible."

"Then you should go quickly. I think if Shen Qiang really wants to make contact, he will definitely go to Shen Qing. Maybe they will have already made contact in secret before you even take any action."

Wang Yang glanced at Musk in surprise; this possibility did indeed exist. Among their group, only Shen Qing and Shen Qiang were close. If Shen Qiang were to contact someone, he would certainly only choose her.

“You’re right, I hadn’t considered that possibility before.”

“Actually, I don’t necessarily want to doubt Shen Qing. I know he’s willing to stand on our side, but his father is on the other side after all, and we can’t predict what choice he will make.”

But the situation is different now. If Shen Qing knew that she was not Shen Qiang's biological daughter, she wouldn't have considered things as much when making a decision, and might even harbor resentment towards Shen Qiang.

"Okay, I understand. I'll go talk to him tonight."

"By the way, Wang Yang, I have to remind you of something. Don't develop any feelings for Shen Qing just because she likes you. Don't forget that you are a married man."

Wang Yang glanced at him helplessly: "Do you even need to say that? I contact Yuqing every day and have never forgotten her. I have only ever felt friendship towards Shen Qing, and I have absolutely no romantic feelings for her."

Musk could see this too. If they really had anything going on, they would have been together long ago, after all, Shen Qing had always had feelings for him. What he was worried about was that Wang Yang might develop sympathy out of pity. "Okay, okay, it's good that you think that way. Then I'll be going now."

Wang Yang stayed in his room alone until 6 p.m., and finally mustered up the courage to go to Shen Qing's room.

After knocking on the door, Shen Qing was slightly surprised to see Wang Yang standing outside.

"I was just about to come see you later. I heard you didn't have dinner and said you had something to do and went to rest first?"

"Well, I wasn't feeling well, but I wanted to talk to you about something."

Shen Qing looked him over and realized that Wang Yang's expression was indeed a bit off.

"What's wrong? Are you sick? You're a doctor yourself. Is it because you're not used to the environment in the Northwest? Should we go see a doctor?"

Wang Yang smiled and shook his head: "Didn't I just say that I'm a doctor myself, and I know very well that there's nothing wrong with my body? It's just that there's something I've been keeping to myself for a long time, and I want to talk to you about it."

Shen Qing looked at Wang Yang with slightly flushed cheeks, thinking that he wanted to talk about their relationship, and perhaps Wang Yang also had some feelings for her.

"I wanted to tell you a story tonight. You should be free tonight, right?"

“I have a lot of free time every day. While you guys are discussing things outside, I stay in my room and they don’t let me participate.”

Wang Yang smiled apologetically. This matter had indeed wronged her, since she was still unaware of her true identity and their plans to deal with Shen Qiang. Revealing her information prematurely could cause unnecessary trouble.

"I'm sorry, I promise I'll make sure you're present when we discuss things in the future, and I'll never hide anything from you."

"No, I was just joking. Actually, I don't want to hear your stories either. I just want you to keep me safe."

This was Shen Qing's only wish. She knew that Wang Yang and his group were definitely plotting something big, and that someone would likely have to make a sacrifice. She only hoped that she wouldn't be that sacrifice.

"More than 20 years ago, there was a young man who was just starting out in his career and later achieved some success. At that time, there was a prominent family, and he happened to get to know someone from this family."

Suddenly, a story began to be told, and Shen Qing stopped what she was doing and listened attentively.

"Later, that woman gave birth to a daughter, and the two families arranged a marriage between the children. The young man was very confused as to why such a large family would choose him. In fact, it was just a personal choice. They thought the young man was of good character and liked the little girl very much. They felt it was fate."

Shen Qing was incredibly clever; she immediately realized from the second sentence that the young man was referring to her father, but she remained silent throughout.

"Back then, this young man saved that person's life, and the other party wanted to repay the life-saving grace. At that time, arranging marriages between children was a very common thing."

Wang Yang paused for a moment. He believed that Shen Qing should understand who he was talking about by now. He turned to observe Shen Qing's expression and found her unusually calm.

"Later, during their interactions, the young man learned a crucial secret about this large family: a vast treasure. To achieve his goal, he joined forces with the family's enemies to hunt them down. Decades later, that family ceased to exist and vanished."
