A few words in Chapter 810?
Shen Qiang pondered for a moment. His daughter was indeed less safe in the hands of his enemy. If she were with Wang Yang, given their character, at least his daughter's safety could be guaranteed. However, they might also use her to blackmail him.

“I know what you’re worried about. If I find your daughter, I’ll definitely make some demands, like asking to share a paradise.”

“But let me make this clear: if your daughter is with me, I will never let her suffer the slightest grievance. Even if I ask you to tell me the whereabouts of Peach Blossom Spring, we can split it equally. I only want the person; you want the treasure inside.”

Hearing this, Shen Qiang raised an eyebrow. He hadn't expected Wang Yang to be so loyal, but he wasn't sure if it was true. After all, he had been deceived by Wang Yang more than once.

"How can you guarantee that these words are credible? You don't have any dirt on me."

"If you don't believe me, that's fine. I helped you find your daughter out of good intentions. Whether I find her or not, it won't affect me. Just pretend I never mentioned this."

Shen Qiang sighed helplessly. Indeed, Wang Yang had no leverage over him; on the contrary, it was he who had leverage over Wang Yang.

"Alright, I promise you. If you help me find my daughter, and I find Peach Blossom Spring before you, you can use that as a condition, and I will let those people go."

"Please tell me the details. Where might your daughter have been all these years?"

Shen Qiang gestured to the butler beside him, who immediately unfolded the documents for Wang Yang to see.

"Initially, she was taken away by those people, and later she was sent to a village where she was reportedly placed in the care of a doctor. After that, we completely lost contact with her."

Wang Yang frowned and examined it closely. Hand it over to a doctor? That suggestion sounded familiar. He himself was a doctor; perhaps there really was some connection.

Do you know which village it originally came from?

"In a very remote village in the north of the city, there is a place called Xiaoxi Village."

Upon hearing the village name, Wang Yang paused for a moment. Wasn't this the village where Old Wang and Xia lived?
But Old Wang was the only doctor in the village. Could it really be such a coincidence? No, Old Wang shouldn't have been in the village at the time.

"How old is your daughter this year?"

She is twenty-two years old this year.

Wang Yang nodded calmly. He calculated that Xia was also twenty-two years old, but he didn't know her exact date of birth.

When exactly was your daughter born?

Her birthday is September 20th.

However, since Xia is not Lao Wang's biological daughter, perhaps even Lao Wang himself does not know Xia's real birth date.

"Asking about the specific birth time is meaningless; those people certainly wouldn't know anyway."

“Okay, I understand the details. I’m very familiar with Beicheng; I’ve been to these small villages before.”

Shen Qiang was slightly surprised. He knew Wang Yang was from Beicheng, but he didn't expect him to have been to so many places, especially since these villages were all very remote.

"How did you come to be in these villages? Did you see my daughter?"

"How could that be? How would I know who your daughter is? I've met too many people. I've been to these villages before to handle business, and when I opened my clinic, I needed to find precious medicinal herbs, some of which could only be found in remote villages."

Hearing this, Shen Qiang calmed down. Thinking about it carefully, it made sense. Wang Yang had been in Beicheng for so long; searching for medicinal herbs inevitably involved going to remote, uninhabited places. "Alright, perhaps you can find clues. If you do, I'll agree to whatever conditions you set."

“I have no doubt about that. Over the years, you have been searching for the Peach Blossom Spring while also never giving up on finding your daughter. Besides, she is your only family member in this world.”

More importantly, Wang Yang understood that Shen Qiang was searching for the treasure to leave to his daughter. Otherwise, what use would he have for so much wealth at his advanced age?

"If possible, please make sure my daughter is safe. Over the years, she has suffered so much at the hands of those people."

“You don’t have to think too badly. Those people might be different from you. Think about it, Shen Qing’s parents were also your enemies, but how did you treat Shen Qing? You didn’t hurt her; instead, you raised her to be so outstanding. They might think the same way.”

Wang Yang's words made Shen Qiang sneer. Although he had done many bad things in his life, he had a clear conscience when it came to his relationship with Shen Qing.

Those people probably think the same way. After all, the child is innocent, and no matter what mistakes the adults have made, the infant who was still in swaddling clothes at the time should not bear any responsibility.

"I hope it's true. Now that we've reached an agreement, I won't hold the previous issues against you. Xiao Chen and the others should be in your hands too, right?"

“You’re right, they’re all with me now. Xiao Chen was one of ours to begin with, so it’s only right that I rescue him.”

Shen Qiang nodded. He didn't want to hold a grudge against Wang Yang anymore, after all, he himself had done many wrong things.

"Alright, I won't go into anything else. Which direction do you plan to search in now?"

"To be honest, it's not confirmed yet. Since I'm here to help you find your daughter, I plan to take them back to Beicheng to search first. Anyway, we'll search all over the country."

Shen Qiang smiled. He had no intention of sharing past intelligence with Wang Yang. He had searched almost every inch of Beicheng, but found nothing.

"You must have searched Haicheng thoroughly, right? If you haven't even searched Haicheng, then I really have to question your abilities."

"That's for sure. You don't need to worry about Haicheng anymore, it's definitely not an option. The possibility of Beicheng is also not very high."

Wang Yang knew perfectly well what was going on. Given Shen Qiang's tenacity in searching for his daughter, he must have already dug deep into the ground.

"That's not necessarily true. Your primary focus was finding your daughter, and besides, I'm quite familiar with Beicheng. Perhaps there are places you've overlooked?"

This wasn't Wang Yang's main objective. He already knew Peach Blossom Spring was in the northwest; his main purpose in going to Beicheng was to find Shen Qiang's daughter. Why not have an extra bargaining chip?
"Suit yourself, I won't stop you from going. I plan to head east; didn't you try to lead me northwest before?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Yang gave an awkward laugh.

Although he had long expected that Shen Qiang would see through the plan, being exposed to his face still made him feel somewhat embarrassed.

"You can rest assured, I have already made it clear that I will not pursue the past. I am aware of your tricks in deliberately creating the illusion that Xiao Ye is there and then leading us to the northwest."

"You're right. It's mainly because you're too clever; I really can't think of a better way to fool you."

Shen Qiang smiled slightly. It seemed that Wang Yang had underestimated him. Even if he discovered Xiao Ye's whereabouts, he wouldn't act rashly; he would definitely investigate thoroughly first.

"Alright, that concludes our conversation for today. Could you please ask Shen Qing to come out and say a few words to me? After all, we still have so many years of father-daughter relationship between us."
