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

Chapter 823 Old acquaintance
"No. If we choose the northwest as our first stop, Shen Qiang will definitely become suspicious. He's not stupid."

They could proceed with peace of mind since Shen Qiang had no spies in the northwest. The key was how Wang Yang could leave Beicheng unnoticed, without Shen Qiang realizing he was no longer there.

"Xiao Chen, when you were working for Shen Qiang, did you have any close acquaintances?"

After all, Xiao Chen had been by Shen Qiang's side for many years and should have a few people he was on good terms with.

"There is one, but we haven't been in contact for a long time. We've basically cut off all contact since my identity as a traitor was exposed."

"If you take the initiative to contact him, do you think he's likely to agree to meet you?"

Xiao Ye pondered for a moment: "You hope they can assist us?"

“I plan to create a false impression. Ideally, his men will report to Shen Qiang that I have always stayed in Beicheng and have never been anywhere else.”

This was the best solution Wang Yang could think of. And the only way to achieve this plan was through Xiao Ye, since he had worked with those people before and might be able to win over one of them.

"But I'm really not sure about that person. We used to have a good relationship, but we lost contact later."

Is it still possible to contact him?

Xiao Ye nodded; he still keeps that person's contact information.

"But I'm not sure if he was involved in this surveillance operation. What if he wasn't sent to monitor you?"

"I'm hoping to use him to make connections. Even if he doesn't come, there might be other ways. You should try contacting him."

Wang Yang didn't want to make things difficult for Xiao Ye, but he couldn't think of a better idea.

"Okay, don't worry, I will find a way to contact him no matter what."

"My basic plan is: we will all head northwest, while leaving some people in the north of the city to create a false impression and make Shen Qiang believe that I have been searching in the north of the city."

Shen Qiang should be satisfied with this, after all, he himself said that he had searched every corner of Beicheng. If Wang Yang stays here, it will be a waste of time.

"By the way, if we're going to the Northwest, should we bring Qin Tongtong and the others along?"

Wang Yang frowned slightly: "I won't take them with me. It's too dangerous, and they shouldn't have been involved in this in the first place. I don't want them to suffer because of me."

For them, staying in Beicheng was the safest option. If they traveled together, their identities would likely be exposed by Shen Qiang. But if they stayed here, no one would know their relationship with Wang Yang.

"Alright, that's the preliminary plan. Everyone get ready, and we'll set off immediately once we get good news from Xiao Ye. If it doesn't work out, we'll think of other solutions."

If this plan fails, they will have to rely on their aunt's help. However, their aunt has been frequently transferred recently, and if her actions are too obvious, it may arouse Shen Qiang's suspicion.

After saying this, Wang Yang looked around and realized that Shen Qing was nowhere to be seen.

Where did Shen Qing go?

"I just saw her running back to her room crying. You were too harsh; she's a girl after all." Xiao Jiang has become more considerate now. Since dating Xia, he's become more and more understanding of girls' feelings.

Wang Yang sighed helplessly, "How about this, you guys discuss the specific details first, and we'll talk about it when we have a result. I'll go talk to Shen Qing."

Wang Yang knocked on the door for more than ten minutes before Shen Qing finally opened it. Her eyes were red and swollen, clearly she had just been crying.

"I came to see you." "I'm fine, there's nothing to see, you can go back."

Wang Yang smiled slightly: "I'm here to discuss important matters. I'll go back naturally after I'm done, there's no need for you to rush me."

With that, Wang Yang stepped into the room.

“I spoke harshly today not to embarrass you, nor to truly blame you. I just hope you understand that what we are doing now is extremely dangerous. Once Shen Qiang finds out, we will be doomed.”

Shen Qing nodded. Wang Yang had emphasized this point repeatedly, and she realized that she had indeed made a mistake and needed to learn from it, otherwise it might lead to even more serious consequences next time.

"Fortunately, this time it didn't turn into a major disaster, but we might not be so lucky next time. So I hope you can remember to not act on emotion when faced with problems, but to think more rationally."

Shen Qing sighed softly. But how could one be rational about matters of the heart? She simply loved Wang Yang, no matter what, and that wasn't something reason could control.

"You've been married for a long time, you should have told me sooner. I don't need to know who your wife is, I just need to know that you have a family."

“It was indeed my oversight in this matter. I concealed my identity to protect them, and Shen Qiang had already found out all my information at the time, so I deliberately hid that.”

For Wang Yang at that time, being alone was the safest option; otherwise, wouldn't that give Shen Qiang a handle to use against him?
“I understand your predicament. It’s just that I was really shocked to suddenly learn the truth.”

"So I hope we can always be good friends and good partners."

Hearing this, Shen Qing's heart sank. She knew that a relationship with Wang Yang was impossible in this lifetime, but she still clung to hope.

She always thought that as long as she stayed by Wang Yang's side, they would eventually be together. Little did she know that he had a family all along.

"Sometimes I feel really stupid, jumping in without asking any questions, and in the end I hurt others and myself."

"It was indeed my fault. But please understand that I had my reasons and didn't mean to hide it. Now that the misunderstanding is cleared up, it's better for everyone."

If Wang Yang were to confess this matter in person, he would face many difficulties, and he would probably only speak up after Shen Qiang has been completely dealt with.

"It's okay, don't worry about me. I'm much stronger now. Each experience has made me more and more resilient. You've seen it too; since that incident, I'm no longer that fragile person."

Wang Yang nodded in agreement. Last time, when Shen Qing learned that she was not Shen Qiang's biological daughter, it took her a long time to accept the fact.

But that period also made her stronger and more tolerant, and now accepting anything is not as painful as before.

But everyone knows that Shen Qing is carrying too much on her mind, and she might break down any day. They can only hope that she can hold on until she defeats Shen Qiang.

"You don't need to worry about me so much. No matter how much you watch me, I'm still the same. Don't worry, I can only truly relax when Shen Qiang confesses and accepts punishment."

She's constantly on edge right now, and as long as that tension stays, she can keep going.

"You said you found Shen Qiang's daughter, but who exactly is she?"

"Don't inquire about this matter yet. The fewer people who know about it, the better. In any case, it has indeed been found."

Shen Qing pondered to himself, how could Wang Yang find that person in such a short time? Shen Qiang had searched for so many years without any clues, how could he suddenly appear?
