Chapter 797 No

At this point, Shen Qing finally couldn't hold back his tears. It wouldn't change the fact that she wasn't his biological daughter, but he had grown accustomed to her fatherly love over the years, and suddenly learning the truth was truly difficult to accept.

“If it takes more time to process this, we can wait. But you can’t keep being so down. You need to pull yourself together and understand that the situation is urgent. Have you ever thought about why Shen Qiang insisted that you come along?”

Caught off guard by the question, Shen Qing stared blankly at Wang Yang, puzzled.

"Actually, I already tested Shen Qiang to see if he would let you come along this time. He knew this trip was dangerous, so why did he still let you come? Have you thought about it carefully?"

"I do not know."

Wang Yang sighed softly. He hadn't wanted to bring this up, not wanting to create too much of a rift between Shen Qing and Shen Qiang. After all, in Shen Qing's heart, Shen Qiang had always been very fond of him.

"That's because he doesn't care about your safety at all. There are two possibilities: one is that he believes no one knows the secret that you are not his biological daughter, and that you are the only one among us who truly belongs to him."

Shen Qing nodded sadly. If Wang Yang hadn't told him, he might never have known the truth.

"The second possibility is that you are indeed someone's daughter here. In that case, you might be able to help find the Peach Blossom Spring. But the most important thing is that he doesn't care about your safety at all."

Hearing that last sentence, Shen Qing smiled self-deprecatingly. Yes, Shen Qiang was well aware of the dangers of this trip, and at the time he didn't understand why Shen Qing insisted on coming along.

Shen Qiang only said it was to let him spend more time with Xiao Jiang, but even if he wanted to cultivate a relationship, there was no need to choose such a dangerous method. Now he finally understood, because Shen Qiang had never truly cared about him.

“I understand. He never worried about me getting hurt on the way. If I were his own daughter, he would never let me take such a risk.”

Wang Yang nodded in agreement: "You're right. In fact, you can tell from Shen Qiang's various decisions that he doesn't treat you as his own daughter."

Perhaps Shen Qiang did give Shen Qing a lot of fatherly love in the past, but that may only be because he once had a daughter, or perhaps he was just using Shen Qing as a substitute.

"Perhaps he once truly loved you and gave you a lot of warmth. But when it comes to crucial moments, he will never choose you. You must realize this."

Wang Yang knew these words would hurt Shen Qing, but the most important thing right now was to make him face reality. He originally thought Shen Qing would bravely accept the truth and choose to stand with them.

Unexpectedly, Shen Qing remained fixated on why Shen Qiang treated him this way. In truth, there was no reason at all; Shen Qiang's motives back then were unknown, perhaps he was simply waiting for his fiancé, Wang Yang, to appear.

"I understand. Don't worry, I will proceed as planned tomorrow and contact the wet nurse to find out what happened back then. But could you please bring her here?"

Shen Qing subconsciously felt that the area around Shen Qiang was the most dangerous place. If the nanny showed any abnormality, she might encounter something terrible.

“We will do our best. But we are worried that even if the nanny knows the inside story, Shen Qiang might still have something on her. Does she have any other family members?”

"Yes. She has a son who works under Shen Qiang; he's a department manager in our company."

Wang Yang immediately understood. So that's how it is. It seems the nanny has always been under Shen Qiang's control. Her son works at the company, which means the whole family is essentially in Shen Qiang's hands.

Are you sure she only has this one son?

“I’m sure. Her husband passed away many years ago, and she and her son depend on each other for survival. Her son is doing well at the company, and I usually take good care of him.”

Wang Yang frowned in thought; the situation was indeed somewhat tricky. If the wet nurse was alone, she would be easy to take care of. But if her son also suddenly disappeared, it would definitely arouse suspicion.

"This matter is quite difficult to handle."

"Is it because it's impossible to bring both mother and child out at the same time?"

Wang Yang nodded and said, "Exactly. If both mother and son disappear at the same time, Shen Qiang will definitely notice. This matter needs careful consideration." Besides, even if the wet nurse is willing to come, her son may not agree. The position of department manager is good, and staying in the Shen family offers a bright future; he may not be willing to give up such a promising career.

As things stand, their conflict with Shen Qiang is purely personal, and it's virtually impossible to get anyone else on their side.

"If I were to talk to her son, I might be able to persuade him."

Are you confident you can persuade him to come here?

Shen Qing hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "It should be possible. He has liked me since we were little, and he has never had a girlfriend or gotten married. Although we are just friends, he listens to me a lot."

Wang Yang thought to himself that it was not surprising that Shen Qing had men who were attracted to her, given her qualities.

"We'll arrange a place for them, mother and child, and you can call us again when that happens."

After saying this, Wang Yang got up to leave, but Shen Qing suddenly hugged him from behind, then quickly let go. Only loneliness remained in Shen Qing's eyes.

"I lost my composure just now, you should leave."

Wang Yang nodded awkwardly and left. He understood that Shen Qing had always harbored feelings for him, but he was already married.

The next morning, Wang Yang came to the living room to discuss the follow-up plan.

"We've found out. Shen Qing's nanny has a son working at Shen Qiang's company. Take the two of them to a safe location first, and then Shen Qing will explain the situation over the phone."

"But taking both of them away at the same time will probably not be easy."

Her son was relatively easy to manage; he could be taken away during her daily commute to and from get off work. However, the wet nurse lived in Shen Qiang's home and was difficult to contact.

At this moment, Shen Qing also came to the living room and found a place to sit down.

“My nanny goes to my son’s house to cook every Saturday morning. This is the best time to act.”

Wang Yang and Xiao Jiang exchanged a glance, both pleased that Shen Qing had taken the initiative to participate in the discussion.

"That's great. Take them to a secluded location that Shen Qiang can't find on Saturday, and then have Shen Qing call them. The whole process must be quick."

Wang Yang pondered for a moment, then added, "However, bringing them out directly would cause too much of a commotion and could easily implicate others. You'd better visit them in person."

Shen Qing nodded in agreement: "Just say it was my idea, and they will definitely let you in. Things will go much smoother once the call is connected. You can just take them away from home."

"Okay, that's the arrangement."

After reaching an agreement, Shen Qing returned to her room alone. Although she was slowly accepting the fact, she still found it difficult to remain calm when facing these people.

"This shouldn't go wrong, right? I'm a little worried that her wet nurse's son might rebel?"

"No, as long as Shen Qing can persuade them, things will take a turn for the better. You can rest assured."

On Saturday morning, the people Wang Yang sent successfully entered Xiao Liu's home. At that time, Xiao Liu was having lunch with his mother.
