Chapter 839 Is Uncle Wen here?

Is Uncle Wen here?

"He's outside, I'll go and invite him."

When I entered the living room, I saw Shen Qing sitting alone; everyone else seemed to be outside.

Upon hearing the news, the crowd gathered. Wang Yang's sudden visit was certainly not just a casual stroll.

"There's something I need to tell you all. Qin Wanwan's situation has probably been exposed. Shen Qiang is aware of her existence and is currently verifying the information."

"Didn't we already cover up her information? How could it still be found?"

Uncle Wen was astonished. He remembered how Wang Yang and his aunt had gone to great lengths to cover up the news.

"That's why I'm here today. All the information had been dealt with properly, and there was absolutely no way Shen Qiang could have found it. But the news still leaked out, and I'm trying to figure out where things went wrong."

Wang Yang frowned, suspecting that the information had been leaked from them, but their informants had already been identified.

"That's not right. We've already taken control of that person. There's no way he could have passed on the message. He had no chance at all."

“I understand. This means there are others besides him. The key point is that this matter is only known to him and a few of us, and no one else knows about it.”

This was what puzzled Wang Yang the most. Even among the group that was to be sent to the factory, no one knew about this; the news should have been completely kept under wraps.

"You mean one of us leaked the information?"

"I'm more inclined to believe it was an unintentional leak, not a deliberate act. None of us should have been in contact with Shen Qiang."

Upon hearing this, Shen Qing's heart tightened, fearing that Wang Yang would suspect him. Since learning his true identity, he had never contacted Shen Qiang privately again.

“I have never contacted Wang Yang.”

“I wasn’t talking about you. I know you wouldn’t. I also said it wasn’t a proactive contact; it’s very likely he found out through some means. But I’m not sure of the specifics. There’s something else I need to remind everyone.”

At this point, Wang Yang paused and looked around at everyone.

“Shen Qiang’s influence in Beicheng should not be underestimated. I have found out that he has connections with the boss of a certain company, and their relationship is quite close. He can freely transfer senior executives.”

Everyone gasped upon hearing this. They had thought that after arriving in Haicheng, they would be free from Shen Qiang's control and could live a peaceful life.

Unexpectedly, he possesses such vast power and resources not only in Haicheng but also in other places. The days ahead are likely to be turbulent.

"Therefore, I hope everyone will remain vigilant and not let their guard down. Don't think that you can rest easy just because Shen Qiang isn't monitoring you in Beicheng. He's everywhere."

Uncle Wen nodded heavily. Indeed, Shen Qiang was omnipresent. Even though there had been no contact, he knew that Shen Qiang had been secretly monitoring him.

“I’ll go and cut off Qin Wanwan’s communication chain right away. Now that he knows Qin Wanwan is my wife, I believe Shen Qiang will come knocking on my door soon.”

He was determined to get to the bottom of this matter in person.

"How do you plan to handle the situation then? And what about helping him find his biological daughter?"

“I will tell him that there is progress in the search for his daughter, but the specific details have not yet been clarified. He should believe me. As for the news about his daughter, even if the information I provide is unreliable, he will try to verify it.”

Wang Yang knew in his heart that as a father, no matter how absurd the news was, he would verify it, because he was now at his wit's end.

"In the coming days, everyone must be cautious when going out. Previous regulations still need to be followed, and you should not talk to strangers casually when you are out." Wang Yang suspected that it was because of a conversation with a stranger that the information was inadvertently leaked.

“Shen Qiang’s men are very shrewd; they might be able to find out your current situation just by talking to you for a few minutes. So we’re trying to avoid talking about it.”

Uncle Wen nodded repeatedly. He would immediately relay the message to his subordinates, warning them to be even more careful. If things continued this way, they would have no privacy whatsoever in front of Shen Qiang.

"Don't worry, I'll go and relay the instructions right away."

Sure enough, one afternoon a week later, Wang Yang had just finished his business and was about to go home when he caught a glimpse of Shen Qiang waving at him in his usual coffee shop.

Wang Yang was not surprised at all. He had expected Shen Qiang to come looking for him; it seemed the other party had figured out his movements and was waiting for him here. Wang Yang calmly walked into the coffee shop and sat down opposite Shen Qiang.

"Uncle Shen, what brings you to the North City today? Aren't you always active in the West? Could it be that you've found a lead on Peach Blossom Spring, or have you come here specifically to negotiate with me?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Qiang shook his head and chuckled: "With your intelligence, how could you not know why I'm here?"

"Let me guess. You're here to gather information, right? About your daughter. Coincidentally, I have indeed found some clues."

Shen Qiang immediately leaned forward. Although he wasn't sure if what Wang Yang said was true or false, he had to confirm it.

"What clue? This is impossible! I've been searching for so many years without any results, how could you have it in such a short time?"

“I’ve said it before, I’m more familiar with this area. Uncle Shen, you’ve got it backwards. Think about it, is your daughter more important to you or Peach Blossom Spring? Your daughter’s whereabouts are clearly in the North City, yet you’re heading west. It seems you’re not really eager to find her.”

Shen Qiang snorted coldly: "What do you know? I spent a lot of time looking for her, but the clues went cold after that, so I had no choice but to turn to Peach Blossom Spring."

Wang Yang nodded, feigning sudden realization. Indeed, in Shen Qiang's heart, Peach Blossom Spring clearly held more weight than his daughter.

"My daughter is of course my most precious possession. But I've spent so much time on this and gotten nothing. Besides, I've also left people in Beicheng. Haven't you noticed that I have complete control over your movements?"

Wang Yang looked him over with amusement: "Of course I noticed. Your people in Beicheng these days have been living like they're in a cage. But fortunately, I've also found some clues."

Tell me what happened, and let me tell you whether it's true or false.

Wang Yang shook his head, clearly stating that he did not wish to disclose the information.

"Make a condition."

"There are no conditions at the moment. The person hasn't been found yet; we can talk about it after we do. If I give you the clues now, wouldn't that be helping you find the person?"

Shen Qiang sneered. He knew Wang Yang wouldn't give in easily, and he was determined to hold onto this leverage.

"I was too trusting of you back then and made the same mistake again. I shouldn't have told you about this."

“You’re overthinking it. Even if you hadn’t said anything, I already knew. Did you tell me that you have a biological daughter and that you’re looking for her?”

Shen Qiang was suddenly stunned. Recalling that meeting, Wang Yang had indeed already pointed out this matter. There was absolutely no way Shen Qing could know; he didn't even know that he wasn't Shen Qiang's biological son.

His wet nurse couldn't have leaked the information. So where did the news come from? He had never thought about this question deeply.

"Do you have a spy planted by me? Who is it? Xiao Chen? Impossible, I have never let him handle this matter. Only a few trusted confidants know about the search for my daughter."

"Then I must remind Uncle Shen that he should carefully investigate the people around him. There might really be some of my people among them."
