Chapter 811 Living in Harmony
"She has made it clear that she doesn't want to see you. In fact, there's nothing left for you to talk about. She will repay your kindness in raising her, but what about her biological parents?"

Faced with Wang Yang's question, Shen Qiang was speechless. Over the years, he had almost truly treated Shen Qing as his own daughter. If it weren't for the Peach Blossom Spring incident, they might have been able to get along harmoniously.

"She should stop thinking about her biological parents; she'll never see them in this lifetime."

Upon hearing this, Wang Yang did not take it seriously, as he could not determine whether Shen Qiang's words were true or false.

"What if her parents are still alive? Why are you so sure? Did you perhaps harm them yourself?"

"That's not the case. To be honest, although I've done a lot of bad things, I've never taken a life. Believe it or not."

Wang Yang snorted softly; he truly believed it. Shen Qiang wasn't the type to act personally; his greatest skill was sowing discord. Just like back then, he didn't directly target Xiao Jiang's parents, but instead used their enemies to stir up conflict, reaping the benefits himself.

“I completely trust you. I’ve gradually come to understand your character. You would never personally expose yourself, after all, you understand the principle of ‘the nail that sticks out gets hammered down’.”

"But you have always been using others as your pawns and your guns. You are strategizing behind the scenes, and everything is accomplished through the hands of others."

After hearing Wang Yang's analysis, Shen Qiang burst into laughter. Over the years, apart from the butler, the person who understood him best was actually Wang Yang.

"I never expected you to be so insightful at such a young age. To be honest, I think these methods are quite effective. Her biological parents are indeed no longer alive; you can tell her that."

"I don't believe it. Since you didn't harm them yourself, what if they're still alive? Haven't you been searching for those people all these years? Just like searching for your daughter, how can you be sure they're not alive?"

Wang Yang's words made Shen Qiang laugh. Yes, what made him so certain they were no longer alive?
“You’re right. If she insists on looking, that’s fine. But I really don’t have any leads. After all, I won’t help her with that.”

"Then there's nothing more to discuss. But don't worry, I'll help you find your daughter. I'm very familiar with Beicheng."

After Shen Qiang got up and left, Wang Yang finally breathed a sigh of relief. If they had confronted each other directly now, many of their men were out there and wouldn't have been able to be recalled in time. This would have put them at a disadvantage, which is why Wang Yang offered the bait of helping to find the girl, to ensure the safety of both sides.

More importantly, if they can find Shen Qiang's daughter, he will definitely cooperate with them again or give them some benefits.

After a while, the others came downstairs one after another. Shen Qing had been listening to their conversation from upstairs.

He said my parents are no longer alive, is that true?

"You believe what he says? Didn't I ask him in return? Even he himself isn't sure if your parents are still alive. But after all these years, if these people still haven't appeared, then they are very likely gone."

Wang Yang thought that Shen Qiang might have snatched Shen Qing from her parents' arms back then. Perhaps they knew the child was in Shen Qiang's hands, and if they were still alive, they would have come looking for her long ago. It was based on this that Shen Qiang made his judgment. But Wang Yang didn't think so. Wasn't he still alive himself? His parents hadn't come looking for him either, so they must have some unspeakable reasons.

"Shen Qing, don't take his words to heart. My conversations with him are always a mix of truth and lies, and it's hard to tell what's real and what's fake."

Shen Qing nodded gently. Actually, she didn't have a deep obsession with finding her biological parents. She understood that many people might have already perished in that invisible war. She didn't hold out much hope, because the greater the hope, the deeper the disappointment.

"But don't worry, I will do my best to find them. With Aunt Wang here, this should be much easier." Wang Fang is the only person who has been in contact with Shen Qing's parents. If she sees them, she will definitely recognize them, which will provide more clues.

"By the way, Wang Yang, why did you agree to help Shen Qiang find his daughter? Was it to find something to use against him?"

“You’re right about part of it. But more importantly, I heard that his daughter lives in a small mountain village in the north of the city. I know a few people in that village, and there’s only one doctor there. I’m wondering if it could be someone I know?”

Upon hearing this, Wenming became excited. If they could really find Shen Qiang's daughter, negotiations with Shen Qiang would be just around the corner.

"Are you serious? If we really find Shen Qiang's biological daughter, our situation will be completely reversed."

If Shen Qiang has the upper hand now, then once they find Shen Qiang's daughter, the situation will be completely reversed, and Wang Yang and his group will have absolute initiative.

“You’re right. That’s why I suggested going back to the North City. One reason is to search for Peach Blossom Spring—of course, our main focus right now is still in the northwest. I plan to send a team with me to the North City, while the rest of us continue searching in the northwest.”

After a moment's thought, Wenming nodded in agreement. He thought Wang Yang's suggestion was excellent; the search in the northwest direction must not be relaxed, because that was where the true Peach Blossom Spring was located.

"But we searched for so long in the Northwest without any clues. Could it be that it's not even there?"

Xiao Jiang's words make sense. They had spent a week there without finding anything, and continuing to search like this was probably not a solution.

“That’s true. But I still feel there’s something strange about that forest to the northwest. We must not let up on the search there. I went to the north city mainly to look for his daughter.”

"Alright, let's split into two groups now. We'll all go with you to the north city, and the others will go to the northwest."

Wenming was still worried about letting Wang Yang go to Beicheng alone, after all, he didn't know what dangers awaited them there.

"Okay, you can arrange the rest. Shen Qing, Aunt Wang, you can go with the other team to the northwest. Xiao Chuan and the others will meet you there."

Now Xiao Chuan and his friends are on their side. Xiao Chuan understands that drifting through society like this is not a long-term solution; it would be better to work with Wang Yang and his group to build a career together.

"No, I want to go to the North City with you."

Shen Qing immediately refused. The people around her were secretly laughing. They knew that Shen Qing wanted to go to Beicheng with Wang Yang not to carry out a mission, but simply to stay by his side.

Wang Yang was in a difficult position. He would definitely have to see Qin Tongtong when he returned to Beicheng, which would reveal that he was now married. Actually, he hadn't intentionally hidden it; it was just that his identity couldn't be exposed before, but now he had no choice but to tell her.

"You'd better not come with me. Going northwest is a good option; it's safer there. Xiao Chuan and his men are already stationed there."

"I think Beicheng is quite safe. Aren't you from Beicheng? How about I go with you to check it out?"
