Chapter 822 We Don't Need to Know

However, Shen Qing seemed completely deaf to the truth; only one fact lingered in her mind: Wang Yang was already married.

"Why did you never tell us you were married? If you already had a family, why did you keep it a secret?"

"How should I tell him? If I reveal that I am married, will Shen Qiang not know? Besides, I can't be sure that everyone here is truly on our side."

Wen Ming nodded in understanding. Wang Yang's caution was indeed necessary; even he himself couldn't guarantee everyone's loyalty.

“I think Wang Yang did the right thing. There are some things that we really don’t need to know. Knowing them would only be harmful and increase the risk of exposure.”

Wang Yang understood that Wen Ming was always reasonable, and this time he must have felt sorry for Shen Qing, which was why he failed to stop her behavior in time.

“Tell me, why did you insist on breaking in there? Even if my men discovered you, their first reaction should have been to evacuate immediately.”

Wen Ming sighed softly. Wang Yang was right; they should have retreated decisively instead of rashly following.

“I didn’t think things through at the time. I just wanted to see the environment where you used to live and to learn about your past.”

"And then? The result was that Shen Qiang's men found my family, did you know that?"

Shen Qing quickly shook her head. This was absolutely not her intention, and she never imagined it would have such consequences.

“I understand that this is not your true nature, you are just curious. But as I said, curiosity is the last thing you should have during this special time.”

In reality, their curiosity wasn't directed at Shen Qiang, but rather at himself, which made Wang Yang particularly angry.

"Do you know how much trouble this will cause us? If you do it again, we really can't take you with us anymore."

These words deeply stung Shen Qing. She never expected that Wang Yang would have the thought of abandoning her.

Xiao Jiang, who was standing nearby, gently tugged at Wang Yang's sleeve: "Don't be like this. Shen Qing already knows she was wrong, and she didn't do it on purpose. Let's just let it go this time, consider it a lesson. She's never experienced anything like this before."

In fact, Wang Yang's original intention was to make her remember this lesson and understand how angry he was.

“I don’t really mean to blame you, I just hope you understand that this is a minor matter. It took us a whole week and a lot of effort to cover it up.”

"But if we make the same mistake again, it could endanger the safety of all of us. That would be completely different from this time. I hope you remember this lesson."

Being reprimanded in front of everyone, Shen Qing felt utterly humiliated. Only after learning that Wang Yang was married did she understand why he had remained unmoved by her feelings.

She could understand Wang Yang's desire to protect his family, but he never considered her feelings.

"Alright, Wang Yang, that's enough. How's the situation on your end? The matter should be resolved by now, right?"

Wen Ming aptly smoothed things over and changed the subject. He knew Shen Qing was feeling very bad at the moment.

He remembered that when his subordinates reported that Wang Yang had entered a certain residence, and that there were supposedly other people inside, Shen Qing was determined to rush in.

He could have stopped her, but after a moment's hesitation, he chose to acquiesce. He knew that Shen Qing had always harbored a secret crush on Wang Yang and wanted to know about Wang Yang's past.

He felt truly sorry for this girl. She had never been reunited with her biological parents since childhood, and later discovered that the "father" who raised her was actually her enemy. Such a blow would be difficult for most people to bear, let alone a girl who had grown up under such loving care.

Therefore, everyone usually tried to be as tolerant of Shen Qing as possible. Even with such consequences, Wen Ming did not blame her. From Wang Yang's perspective, his anger was understandable. The family member he had been trying his best to protect was almost discovered by Shen Qiang because of this oversight.

"The matter has been resolved, thanks to my aunt who found someone to help. Shen Qiang can't find anything now. However, this is also because he has limited manpower here. If he had sent more people, he would have found out long ago."

Completely erasing someone's trace is extremely difficult. At the time, that subordinate must have already obtained the resident's information, which was later altered by Wang Yang and his group.

"It's good that she's alright. Shen Qing has already realized her mistake, so please don't blame her."

Wang Yang nodded and said, "I hope everyone will be more vigilant in the future and stop taking chances. I'm not blaming anyone; let's discuss the next steps."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and Wang Yang did not pursue the matter further.

“I have already found out about Shen Qiang’s daughter, so we will remain inactive for now.”

Upon hearing this, everyone present widened their eyes in surprise. They hadn't expected Wang Yang to find Shen Qiang's biological daughter in such a short time.

"Really? Who is his daughter?"

"The fewer people who know about this, the better. Shen Qiang is definitely keeping a close watch on us. If the news leaks out, this trump card will be rendered useless."

Wang Yang agreed to help Shen Qiang find his daughter in order to gain leverage in negotiations. Even if Shen Qiang found Peach Blossom Spring first, they would still have room to bargain.

Everyone else could tell he didn't want to reveal the details, so they all looked at Xiao Jiang.

Xiao Jiang shook his head blankly: "I really don't know. If he hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known he had found Shen Qiang's daughter. Who exactly is his daughter?"

"Alright, I haven't told anyone about this. Only I know. Knowing too much is not helpful to you."

After this incident, Wang Yang realized more clearly that some things should not be publicized unless necessary, otherwise the news will leak out sooner or later.

"Wang Yang, I support your approach. It's always good to be cautious. Even if I find out, there's nothing I can do. It's better to keep it a secret and use it when necessary."

But Xiao Jiang was still puzzled. That day, Wang Yang asked him to get a paternity test. He got the results, but he didn't know whose the two samples belonged to.

"That's not right. You've been dealing with Qin Qingqing's matter these past few days and haven't had time to go out and search for her at all. Where did you find her?"

"Think about it. Do you think I would go looking for it myself? Of course, I'd send someone. Stop asking. We've already found it. Didn't you see it when you picked up the paternity test report that day?"

Xiao Jiang nodded. He did know that the test sample came from Shen Qiang, but he didn't expect it to actually be from Shen Qiang and his daughter.

"I really admire you. Shen Qiang has been searching for so many years and still couldn't find it, but you found it in less than a day."

"Alright, that's enough. Our plan remains to head northwest. But we need to figure out a way to get there, since I'm currently in the northern part of the city."

Wang Yang has been thinking about this problem for days. He might need to use some kind of deception, but he hasn't figured out exactly how to do it yet.

"Can't we just go directly there? We can't stay in Beicheng looking for his daughter forever, he should know that."
