Chapter 817 is not a kind person.

Wang Yang felt extremely helpless, never expecting things to be so coincidental, that Shen Qiang's biological daughter had actually been by his side all along.

"Xia, I only have some speculations at the moment, and I can't be completely sure that person is your biological father. Moreover... this truth may be hard for you to accept."

Xia gave a bitter smile: "Actually, I was prepared. You know what? My adoptive father once told me that my biological father was his greatest enemy. At that time, I knew that he was probably not a kind person."

But her current adoptive father is completely different; he is an extremely kind person. He treated countless patients when he was practicing medicine.

“I understand he may not be a good person, but I can accept this outcome. I don’t intend to acknowledge him; I just want to know why I’ve ended up like this.”

"Xia, let me verify this first. I'll do a paternity test for you. If it's confirmed that you are his child, then we can discuss this further."

Xia nodded in agreement. Wang Yang took her hair sample and left. He had already obtained Shen Qiang's hair, which was taken during the paternity test with Shen Qing.

He handed the two samples to Xiao Jiang, who was unaware of their origin and simply sent them for testing as instructed.

The results came back the next day, and just as Wang Yang had predicted, Xia was indeed Shen Qiang's biological daughter. The person Shen Qiang had spent over twenty years searching for had been right beside Wang Yang all along—a truly ironic situation.

"Wang Yang, who was the paternity test you did yesterday for?"

"Don't ask that yet. Send more people to protect Xia and the others recently. I'm worried that someone might try to harm them."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jiang immediately became alert. He and Xia had just confessed their feelings for each other, and he absolutely couldn't let her get into danger.

"What do you mean by that? Who would hurt Xia?"

"I'm talking about Shen Qiang. If he finds out about my relationship with Xia and how often you go to her place, the consequences will be unimaginable."

Wang Yang's words made Xiao Jiang look ashamed. Indeed, he had only been concerned about seeing Xia and had never considered her safety. If Shen Qiang found out, he would definitely send someone to monitor them. Once he was discovered frequently visiting Xia's house, it would be known that they had a close relationship, and Xia could very well be targeted because of it.

"You're right, I need to restrain myself during this time and not see Xia too often. Tell me first, whose paternity test result is it? Have you found Shen Qiang's daughter?"

"Don't ask any more questions. You must complete the tasks assigned to you. Send more people to protect them, and at the same time keep a close eye on Shen Qiang's movements to see if they head northwest."

Xiao Jiang nodded in agreement. Shen Qiang was still searching in the southwest, but there hadn't been any progress yet.

"By the way, this test result must be kept secret from everyone, remember, everyone."

"Why are you making it so mysterious? Didn't Shen Qiang ask you to help him find his daughter? Do you have a lead now?"

Wang Yang glanced at him helplessly. Xiao Jiang had never been one to keep secrets; if he knew something, he would definitely leak it. Wang Yang even regretted being too busy yesterday to personally go and get the test done.

"Don't ask any more questions. Don't pry into things you shouldn't know. If word gets out now, Shen Qiang will definitely find out."

"I understand. Then tell me quietly, is this really Shen Qiang's daughter?"

Wang Yang shook his head and denied it: "No, this belongs to someone else. Okay, stop asking, I'm leaving now."

After leaving, Wang Yang went straight to Xia's house. Old Wang and Xia had just finished dinner; they had been anxiously awaiting the results for the past two days. "Wang Yang, you've finally arrived. We haven't been able to eat or sleep these past two days, just wanting to know if Xia is really the daughter of the person you mentioned?"

Wang Yang nodded and took out yesterday's appraisal report.

"Don't worry, I haven't told anyone about this result, and Xiao Jiang doesn't know the source of the sample either."

Xia took the report and smiled slightly. Sure enough, all of Wang Yang's speculations were correct.

"Can you tell me now? Who is my biological father? Don't worry, I will never go looking for him, I just want to know the truth."

Wang Yang understood that in order to win Xia's support, he had to tell her the whole truth.

"First of all, I want to clarify that this matter has no direct connection to you or me, because we are both unaware of it. It is actually a grudge from the previous generation."

Hearing this, Xia frowned involuntarily. Could this matter also be related to Wang Yang?
"As you may have guessed, this matter is of great importance to me. More than 20 years ago, your father, Shen Qiang, met my father. Later, Shen Qiang betrayed my father, which led to our whole family being hunted down and destroyed. To this day, I still haven't found my parents."

Upon hearing Wang Yang's words, Old Wang and Xia Xia both gasped in shock. They never expected the truth to be like this.

"Wang Yang, is what you're saying true? You and Xia have such a connection?"

“That’s absolutely true. But as I just said, these are all grudges from the previous generation, and we were unaware of them beforehand, so I’ve never blamed you.”

However, Xia couldn't forgive herself. Even though it had nothing to do with her, she was still that person's daughter.

"What did you just say was my father's name?"

“His name is Shen Qiang, the one who betrayed our family. I went to Haicheng a while ago to find him. At the time, I didn’t know his true identity.”

The main purpose was to find out whether Shen Qiang and Wang Yang's father were friends or enemies, and the truth was later revealed.

"He lost you while hunting down my parents. Later, he adopted another child as his daughter and has been searching for you for more than 20 years."

Xia nodded with a wry smile. She understood, of course, that both her former adoptive father and her current husband, Lao Wang, had warned her that only by remaining undiscovered could she ensure her safety.

"Then how did you find out I'm his daughter? You two aren't in a business relationship anymore, are you?"

“That’s not true. We were both looking for the same thing. He betrayed my parents back then to get it. I was looking for my parents, so we agreed not to interfere with each other.”

Wang Yang knew that this explanation would be easier for Xia to understand. He and Shen Qiang were definitely not on the same side.

“I also know that he has never given up looking for his daughter all these years. Even after adopting a child as his own, he is still looking for you. As a father, he is not wrong in this respect.”

Wang Yang's words were objective and fair. Shen Qiang may indeed have committed many sins in other aspects, but as a father, it is his right to search for his daughter.

“I understand. After that, I negotiated with him on the condition that I would help him find his daughter. If he found her, he would share the information with me after he found Peach Blossom Spring. When he mentioned the doctor in your village, I remembered that you and Lao Wang came from that village, so I came to verify it.”
