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

Chapter 809 The clue is broken
The butler frowned upon hearing this. He had been ordered to ensure everyone returned home.

"Okay, I'll contact the boss right away."

More than an hour later, Shen Qiang finally appeared. Wang Yang waited alone in the living room, while the others remained upstairs, surrounded by their men. Even if they were to confront him head-on today, Shen Qiang would not gain the upper hand.

"Wang Yang, you're really something, taking my daughter and leaving without saying goodbye. It seems I trusted you wrongly."

"Uncle Shen, there's no need to say all this now, is there? You know perfectly well whether Shen Qing is your biological daughter or not."

Shen Qiang sneered; it seemed they had indeed uncovered the truth.

However, he still felt some regret. Over the years, he had carefully nurtured Shen Qing and handed the company over to him. To be honest, even if Shen Qing never knew the truth, he would still treat him as his own son.

"You don't think I have no fatherly feelings for Shen Qing, do you? Otherwise, why would I entrust the company to him?"

"Because you have more important things to do. You are looking for a paradise and have no time to manage the company, so you should naturally hand it over to him. You don't trust an outsider, at least he doesn't know his true identity."

Shen Qiang had intended to appeal to family ties, but Wang Yang saw through his plan so easily.

“If he never knew the truth, he could have lived a peaceful life as my daughter, and I would have guaranteed him a life of wealth and comfort.”

"The problem is that you didn't intend to put him at ease. By involving him in the search for Peach Blossom Spring, you've already dragged him into this conflict, and he's destined to be unable to extricate himself, isn't he?"

Since Shen Qiang dragged him into this, he should bear the consequences. Shen Qing will find out sooner or later that he is not his biological son.

"Send Shen Qing to see me. I need to have a serious talk with him."

"He doesn't want to see you. You're a stranger to him now, and even an enemy. You should know who his biological parents are, right?"

Shen Qiang sneered. He did know, but why would he tell them?

"Have you found your biological daughter yet? After searching for so many years, you must have some clues, right?"

Mentioning this matter, Shen Qiang's expression grew even colder. He had indeed been searching, and while he had some leads, they had all gone cold. It seemed that the family was deliberately avoiding him.

Since they're avoiding him, it means they know his daughter's true identity. He's genuinely worried that those people might harm his daughter.

"Enough! You didn't come to see me today just to say this, did you? What is it you really want?"

"I'm here to discuss cooperation. Think about it, we at least share a common goal. You're looking for a paradise, and we're looking for the people in that paradise. Even if they're not there, we're searching for the same place, right?"

Shen Qiang snorted coldly. That was true; given their shared goal, they could indeed become partners.

"You're right, but why should I believe you? How could I dare to believe you? You set up such a big trap before, making me completely fooled. To be honest, I consider myself smart enough, and I've schemed against countless people, but I just can't see through you."

He never truly understood Wang Yang. He had always believed that Wang Yang's claims were true, and multiple investigations confirmed this.

"To be honest, I've always been very interested in your identity. You said you were an ordinary doctor, and I've verified that's true. If your identity is fabricated, then it shows just how powerful your influence is in the north."

Thinking of this, Shen Qiang couldn't help but feel alarmed. To be able to disguise one's identity so flawlessly right under his nose, this person must have a formidable power behind them.

"I can't tell you my identity, of course. Just remember that I am indeed an ordinary doctor."

"Are we still going to hide things from each other? Now that you know my background, you should understand that I am the mastermind behind the hunt for Xiao Jiang's parents."

As he said these words, Shen Qiang showed no remorse; on the contrary, he seemed unusually excited, as if he had done something extraordinary. "Do you have any conscience? Xiao Jiang's parents once saved you; why are you treating them like this?"

How I treat them is my business. It doesn't matter; I'm a heartless person by nature. What I want, I must get, and coincidentally, they happen to have it.

The truth is not as Shen Qiang said. He initially approached Xiao Jiang's parents because he heard the legend of Peach Blossom Spring, and after confirming that the legend was true, he ruthlessly killed them.

"But Xiao Jiang's parents may not be dead, and it is still unknown whether you can find them."

"Of course I understand, that's why I need your help now. Don't you also want to help Xiao Zhang find his biological parents? Then let's work together."

For now, at least the two sides can remain at peace.

"Our cooperation is actually very simple - each of us finds our own target, as long as we make sure we don't harm each other."

Shen Qiang had already realized that Wang Yang and his group were not fighting alone; they must have powerful backing. A head-on confrontation would only result in mutual destruction, and ultimately neither side would find their paradise.

“That’s acceptable. If we meet during the search, we can treat each other as strangers passing by. But if one party finds the object first, the other party cannot stop them.”

"I agree."

Wang Yang wasn't going to believe Shen Qiang's promise so readily. If they found Peach Blossom Spring first, Shen Qiang would definitely seize it by any means necessary.

After all, this was his lifelong goal, and he would never give it up easily.

"Uncle Shen, you agreed too readily. Don't you think that seems hypocritical?"

"I can only tell you that I am determined to obtain Peach Blossom Spring. Over the years, I have sent out so many people to search for it, and even personally led many expeditions, all to no avail. What makes you think you can find it?"

Wang Yang pretended to think seriously for a moment. Judging from the current situation, the chances of them finding it were indeed slim.

"Is it possible that Peach Blossom Spring is just a figment of imagination?"

“It absolutely exists! Back then, I deliberately approached Xiao Jiang’s parents to confirm the authenticity of Peach Blossom Spring. They told me explicitly that it does exist.”

Wang Yang thought to himself that perhaps Xiao Jiang's parents were saying this to deceive Shen Qiang.

"You really believe them? What if they're deceiving you too?"

"Impossible. Although I may not be a very good person, I believe that Xiao Jiang's parents are of impeccable character."

These words touched Wang Yang slightly. He had met so many of his parents' old friends, and everyone spoke highly of them. Yet Shen Qiang could be so ruthless.

"By the way, you're probably looking for someone important on this trip, right? Your daughter. How about this, you tell me the details, and I can help you find her."

"No need. I'll find my daughter myself. Now all the leads have gone cold, and I don't even know where to begin."

Wang Yang smiled slightly. He knew that Shen Qiang's daughter must have fallen into the hands of those enemies, and they would naturally not let him find her.

“But have you considered that she would be in even greater danger if she were in the hands of her enemies? Every minute you wait before you find her, the greater the danger she will face. Rather than that, let me help you search.”
