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

Chapter 843 is precisely for this reason.
But things are completely different in a metropolis like Beicheng. Who would take his meager strength seriously? Therefore, Shen Qiang would inevitably face many limitations when searching for his Shangri-La in Beicheng.

That's why he discovered Wang Yang's unique value in Beicheng—only by leveraging Wang Yang's network of influence could he successfully carry out the search operation in Beicheng.

“I see. Then we absolutely cannot cooperate with him. We can gradually cultivate the power he lacks, but in terms of connections in Beicheng, he can only rely on you.”

Wang Yang smiled knowingly. This was precisely why Shen Qiang had lowered his stance to seek cooperation.

But what Shen Qiang didn't expect was that Wang Yang had already seen through his intentions. Moreover, cooperating with Shen Qiang would not benefit Wang Yang at all.

Shen Qiang believed his resources would help Wang Yang search in other areas, but in reality, Wang Yang just needed more time. Given enough time, he could find everything he needed.

"So he wanted me to persuade you?"

"That's right. I guess he'll play the emotional card, after all, he raised you for so many years, and he hopes you'll help him one last time. I can already imagine what he'll say to you."

Shen Qiang probably didn't expect that Shen Qing already hated him to the core. Those so-called kindnesses of raising him were something he owed Shen Qing.

"Then tell him that I will never see him. I have nothing to say to someone like him."

“I’ve already told him, but he won’t believe me. He wants you to come see him tomorrow afternoon; if you don’t go, he should understand the answer.”

Perhaps Shen Qiang still held a sliver of hope for Shen Qing, hoping she could persuade Wang Yang. But this wish was destined to be dashed.

"I guess he's eager to work with you. If that doesn't work out, he might try something else."

"That's true. But I won't agree to it no matter what. As for what tricks he'll play, I don't know yet. We'll deal with whatever comes our way."

Wang Yang knew very well that Shen Qiang would not let this golden opportunity slip by. He couldn't find another suitable candidate in Beicheng. Now that Wang Yang had clearly refused, Shen Qiang would definitely find other ways to deal with him, but he didn't know what methods he would use for the time being.

“I think Shen Qiang might come to you in person. But remember, don’t believe anything he says. This person is completely untrustworthy now, even if he raised you.”

Shen Qing nodded firmly: "Don't worry, I have no feelings for him anymore. I know that he was kind to me before for a reason. If he hadn't caused me to be separated from my biological parents, he wouldn't have been the one to raise me."

Wang Yang was actually a little worried, fearing that Shen Qing might soften her heart because of their past relationship.

Moreover, given Shen Qiang's silver tongue, he might actually be able to persuade Shen Qing. The best solution is to prevent them from meeting.

"Here's what we'll do: don't go out for the next few days, just stay home. I'm worried that if you go out, he'll definitely try to find you. He won't be in Beicheng for long."

Shen Qiang has now transferred all his forces to the west, and he still believes that the Peach Blossom Spring may be in the west.

Therefore, he himself could not stay in the northern city for long and would definitely push westward with all his might.

As long as he doesn't stay long and doesn't see Shen Qing, the danger on their side will be over.

"How's Qin Wanwan doing? Shen Qiang should have already discovered their identities, right?"

"It has indeed been exposed. But it doesn't matter, I've made ample preparations. Even if it's discovered, it won't affect the overall situation."

Wang Yang never dared to hope that Shen Qiang would never discover Qin Wanwan and the others' identities; that was simply impossible.

Once Wang Yang returns to Beicheng, he will definitely live with Qin Wanwan. Shen Qiang will find out no matter what. But even if he finds out, he won't dare to make any rash moves against Qin Wanwan. "I'm sorry, if it weren't for me, they might not have been exposed so quickly."

"It's alright, I was prepared, but I didn't expect it to happen so quickly. Let's stall for as long as we can. The most important thing now is to prevent Shen Qiang from finding his biological daughter."

Shen Qiang wasn't too concerned about Wang Yang's family background; what he cared about was the whereabouts of his biological daughter. As long as Wang Yang held onto this bargaining chip, he had nothing to fear from Shen Qiang.

Just as Wang Yang was about to leave, Wen Ming happened to return from outside.

"By the way, Wang Yang, I have something to tell you. Didn't we find a strange flower in that forest before? I gave it to a friend who specializes in flowers. He initially said he had never seen such a flower before, but after studying it in depth, he told me that this flower is indeed very special."

Upon hearing this, Wang Yang sat down again, and the group continued their conversation in the living room.

"What's so special about it? That flower can grow in such harsh conditions, and there's only one of it, which is already extraordinary."

“You’re right, my friend thinks so too. He discovered that this flower can thrive in any temperature conditions; there’s no such thing as an optimal growing environment, and it always stays in the same state.”

Wang Yang was somewhat confused: "What does this mean?"

"It means that this flower thrives in any environment. You know, most flowers have a flowering season, such as blooming in spring and not in other seasons. But this flower can bloom all year round."

Wang Yang then realized what was going on. It was early summer when they went there, and the flower shouldn't have been blooming so profusely.

I see. But he had never heard of such a flower before.

Has your friend ever seen similar flowers before?

"No. He's fascinated by this flower and said he wants to go and investigate it in person. But that place is too far away, and I haven't agreed yet. Besides, this is related to our search for the Peach Blossom Spring, so I came back to discuss it with you."

Wang Yang understood Wen Ming's concerns. Bringing experts might uncover some secrets, but the fewer people who knew about it, the better.

What is your relationship with this person? Are they a close friend?

"Yes, we're both fascinated by flower research, which is why we became friends. He's also a colleague at the research institute. I think it should be fine to bring him along."

Wang Yang pondered for a moment. This matter was of great importance, and he could not make a decision lightly.

“I understand your concerns. I can assure you that he has absolutely no interest in things like Peach Blossom Spring. He's just a pure flower enthusiast who only wants to do research. He's brought it up several times already, but I haven't agreed yet.”

Wang Yang also knew that if they kept refusing, it would make it seem like they were deliberately hiding something.

"Alright then. Tell him we'll bring him next time we go. I've been thinking that if this flower really is a key clue, we might really need him to solve the problem."

“You’re right, I feel the same way. We didn’t find anything else unusual there, except for this flower, which is particularly strange. Perhaps if we can unravel the mystery of this flower, we can find the secret hidden in Peach Blossom Spring.”

Wang Yang nodded in agreement. Wen Ming's words made a lot of sense; they were indeed at a stalemate. They had sent so many people over that they had practically set up camp in that forest.
