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

Chapter 799: They've got my weakness figured out.
Wang Yang asked suspiciously, "Isn't it dangerous to keep you by Shen Qing's side? Because you know everything about the past."

"That's because he knew my weakness. I had my son with me at the time, and he knew that if he threatened my son's life, I would definitely give in."

Hearing this, Xiao Liu looked grief-stricken. He had never imagined that Shen Qiang was this kind of person, let alone that Shen Qing's background was so complicated.

“He put my son in the company so that he could better control me. If I tell anyone about this, my son and I will both be killed.”

But what Shen Qiang didn't expect was that even if it meant sacrificing his own son, Wang Fang would still protect Shen Qing with her life.

“Shen Qing, you have to understand that Shen Qiang is really not a good person. But all these years, I’ve let you live peacefully as his daughter, not to protect my son’s safety.”

Wang Fang looked at Shen Qing with a sorrowful expression, fearing that she might misunderstand her intentions.

“Over the years, I have come to regard you as my own mother. You have been more considerate and thoughtful towards me than you have towards Xiao Liu. How could I not feel it?”

"Yes, so all these years, Shen Qiang has never truly controlled me. Even if it meant sacrificing my own son's life, I would protect you. But I've kept this secret deep in my heart for so many years because I know his power is too great."

Once this secret is exposed, if Shen Qing insists on seeking revenge, they will surely face annihilation.

“I understand how difficult the path of revenge is. So many relatives were separated back then, and I tried to find them too, but I was just an ordinary woman, how could I find them? The hope was too slim. My only wish is to watch you grow up safely.”

Fortunately, things developed as she wished. Shen Qiang took this daughter under his wing and nurtured her carefully, even planning to hand over the company to her, which made Wang Fang feel very gratified.

"But there's a question: Shouldn't Shen Qiang have had a daughter already? Wasn't he supposed to be betrothed to the Lin family as a child?"

This was the most perplexing point for Wang Yang. If Shen Qiang had his own biological children, there was absolutely no way he would acknowledge someone else's child as his daughter.

“You’re right, he does have a child. The child was the one he was betrothed to in the Lin family back then. Unfortunately, things didn’t go as planned. It seems that the wicked get their just desserts. He still hasn’t been able to find his biological daughter who disappeared during the chase.”

Upon hearing this, Wang Yang couldn't help but smile. It seemed that Shen Qiang had truly suffered a loss.

"During his escape, he always carried his only daughter with him, cherishing her as a treasure. But one day she got lost, and he searched for her for many years without any news."

That's why he adopted Shen Qing as his own daughter and raised her.

Wang Yang asked with a smile, "Did he adopt Shen Qing as his daughter in order to wait for his fiancé to appear?"

“I asked him, and he admitted it was true. But I don’t understand why he was so determined to find that child. What use was that child to him?”

Logically, Shen Qiang should have been hunting down the child's parents or searching for a paradise.

"It's very likely because he knew that opening up the Peach Blossom Spring depended on that child."

Wang Fang shook her head; she didn't know the answer to that. After all, she was just a nanny back then, and her knowledge was limited.

“Shen Qing, your biological parents are likely no longer alive. To be honest, recognizing a thief as one's father is disgusting, but we have no other choice but to survive.”

Shen Qing nodded sadly: "I know you were thinking of me, and I have never blamed you. If I didn't know the truth and continued to be kept in the dark, I might have always regarded him as a good father."

Wang Yang was well aware that Shen Qiang hadn't treated Shen Qing badly over the years. As long as it didn't involve Peach Blossom Spring, he was indeed a responsible father. "But you are truly his enemy. Once your identities are revealed, you will be irreconcilable enemies."

"So your idea all along has been that as long as this identity is not revealed, Shen Ping can live a peaceful life, right?"

Wang Fang nodded without hesitation. Wang Yang sighed softly, but would Shen Qiang let them have their way? He kept Shen Qing by his side purely to use her.

"Have you ever considered that Shen Qiang kept her by his side not just to let her live a peaceful life as a daughter? No, he wanted to use her to find his Shangri-La."

At this moment, Wang Fang suddenly realized. Indeed, as Wang Yang said, since Shen Qiang wanted to use Shen Qing, he would definitely make her do some dangerous things and would not care about her life at all.

“You’re right, I understand now. That’s why I mustered up the courage to tell this secret, because I know it’s not safe for her to stay by Shen Qiang’s side. Perhaps returning to you is the best place for her.”

Wang Yang sighed deeply. He truly hadn't expected that Shen Qing's parents might have had a close relationship with their family back then. It seemed that all the relevant people had finally come together.

"By the way, you just said that Shen Qiang's daughter is missing, which means she might still be alive? Didn't he send anyone to look for her afterward?"

"Over the years, he has been searching for the Peach Blossom Spring and his daughter simultaneously. But this secret mission was known only to his closest confidants."

Wang Yang thought it over carefully. The person closest to him should be the butler. But the butler had never traveled with them, so how could he find him?

"Wait a minute, the person you're talking about should be his butler, right? So how did they find him?"

"I don't know the specific details, but there's no doubt that he's looking for his daughter."

He also speculated that his daughter was likely with his enemies, but those enemies might not recognize her and would probably treat her well.

"I remember now! I think I heard one of his men say that he was looking for someone online. Could it be that he was looking for that girl?"

Xiao Liu suddenly interrupted. He remembered overhearing it once when he was about to enter the office, but he hadn't paid it any mind at the time. But when he went in, Shen Qiang stared at him warily.

"Searching online? The chances are too slim. After all, the child was so young when he went missing."

Unless there are special birthmarks or they are carrying some kind of keepsake, it is indeed difficult to find them.

"No, I remember he was looking for a little girl who was a few years old."

Wang Yang turned his head in confusion: "Wasn't that child only a few months old back then? If he's looking for a little girl who's only a few years old, it means he already had the clues."

“I understand. It’s very likely that he found the little girl a long time ago, but then the trail went cold. The information he received was that the girl disappeared again when she was a few years old.”

Wang Yang sneered. It seems Shen Qiang is lucky; at least his daughter lived to that age.

“Let’s put his daughter’s matter aside for now. I’m worried that Shen Qiang will find us soon. You see, our sudden disappearance isn’t a big deal, after all, he knows someone is after us. But if Aunt Wang and her son also suddenly disappear, he will definitely be on high alert.”
