Chapter 792: Lack of Supplies
Upon hearing this analysis, Xiao Su suddenly understood. That was indeed true.
"So, does that mean only you can enter Peach Blossom Spring?"
Wang Yang nodded in agreement. Perhaps that was why Shen Qiang had asked him and Xiao Jiang to search for Peach Blossom Spring together; otherwise, he would never have allowed his fiancé and daughter to risk their lives together.
"But even knowing this, we still can't find the exact location of Peach Blossom Spring, and that's the most difficult problem."
Wang Yang sighed softly. Now, their only hope was that Xiao Chen could contact his superiors. If he could, things might take a turn for the better.
In the afternoon, Xiao Su led Wang Yang and his group to enjoy the scenery of Northwest China. It was a world apart from the northern part of the city.
"After this is over, come with us to Beicheng for some fun," Wang Yang invited Xiao Su.
"Actually, I've been to Beicheng, and it was pretty good. I came to the Northwest to look for my parents, but after all these years, there's still no news of them."
Wang Yang knew that Xiao Su had grown up in an orphanage in Beicheng, and it would have been easy for him to stay there. He must have come to the Northwest to find his parents.
"Don't worry, we will definitely find them."
The next morning, Wang Yang received a call from Xiao Chen.
"Xiao Chen, is there something you need?"
“The people protecting me said the bookstore has reopened, but I can’t go out right now. If they ask, the other party definitely won’t cooperate.”
This news filled Wang Yang with mixed feelings of joy and surprise. The reopening of the bookstore, which had previously served as a contact point, likely meant that Xiao Chen's superiors were trying to reach him.
"I'll send someone to check immediately. Do you have any secret codes for contacting each other?"
"Yes, but it's quite long. I'll send it to your phone later. Please be careful; I'm not sure if the other party is really one of our people."
But Xiao Chen knew that if the code was correct, there shouldn't be any mistake.
“Okay, we’re in the Northwest now. I deliberately shook off Shen Qiang’s men and found a son who used to be my parents’ bodyguard. His name is Xiao Su, and we’re staying with him for now.”
"I'm wondering if the higher-ups know you've started over, which is why they reopened the bookstore—to try and stop you?"
Wang Yang pondered that this possibility did indeed exist. However, everything would have to wait until someone was sent to contact the bookstore to confirm.
"I'll send someone to make contact first. If it really is someone from your superior's department, things will be much easier."
That evening, Wang Yang's men finally made contact with the bookstore. After confirming that the other party was indeed a member of Xiao Chen's organization, Wang Yang immediately arranged for them all to be taken to the Northwest.
Now that Haicheng is Shen Qiang's territory, Wang Yang is worried that frequent contact will eventually be discovered, and the Northwest is the relatively safe place.
During dinner, Wang Yang excitedly announced the news to everyone.
"I've already arranged for someone to escort Xiao Chen and his superior to the Northwest. Xiao Su, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you for a while longer."
"It's alright, we're all family." At this moment, Xiao Su felt especially close to Wang Yang. He had only wanted to find Xiao Chuan, but he hadn't expected to meet Wang Yang. This was a pleasant surprise, and it also gave him a sense of responsibility.
Since his parents had been guards for Wang Yang's parents, it was only natural for him to become Wang Yang's guard.
Two or three days later, Xiao Chen and a man in his fifties arrived safely in the Northwest under the escort of Wang Yang's men.
Xiao Chen was overjoyed when they reunited. He never expected to see Wang Yang again, as the journey had been fraught with danger.
“Wang Yang, I thought I’d never see you again. Shen Qiang is too cunning; he has complete control of Haicheng now. We originally planned to travel by water, but we almost got caught.” Wang Yang recalled telling Shen Qiang that Xiao Chen had left by sea when he arranged for Xiao Chen to feign an escape. He estimated that Shen Qiang would soon gain control of the sea routes, but he didn’t expect him to act so quickly.
"It was my oversight; I didn't expect him to gain control of the sea route so quickly."
"His strength is indeed not to be underestimated. We've experienced quite a few twists and turns along the way, but thankfully we've finally arrived safely. Now Shen Qiang can't catch me."
At this point, a huge weight was lifted from Xiao Chen's shoulders. Even though Wang Yang's men were protecting him in Haicheng, he had always been on edge.
"Let me introduce you. This is my superior, who has been in contact with me all along, and also my good brother, Wenming."
"Hello, I am Wang Yang."
During the journey, Xiao Chen had already informed Wen Ming of all of Wang Yang's information.
"You look just like your father." This was the first thing Wenming said to Wang Yang, which surprised everyone present.
"Have you met my father?"
"I'm one of his guards, how could I not have seen him? I'm with him every day. By the way, isn't this young Su the son of Guard Su?"
Xiao Su nodded blankly: "My father's name is Su Hai."
“Then that’s it. He and I used to be good friends. We even shared a dormitory when we first started out. After we got promoted, we each got our own rooms, but we’ve always kept in touch.”
Hearing this, Xiao Su was deeply moved. He never expected to meet his father's friend in his lifetime.
"What exactly happened? My parents left me in the orphanage and never came to see me again."
Wen Ming sighed: "To be honest, I don't know where your parents are either, let alone the whereabouts of the boss and the others."
Wang Yang understood that the "boss" Wen Ming was referring to was probably his father.
"What exactly happened back then? Why are you all here, but they've disappeared?"
"The main reason is that it happened too suddenly. Even after so many years of investigation, we still haven't found their whereabouts."
The Wang family was once extremely powerful, which also made them many enemies. For some unknown reason, all their enemies suddenly united to hunt them down.
They had just gone through an internal conflict, which had severely weakened them. To make matters worse, a traitor emerged from within, catching everyone off guard and forcing them to scatter and flee for their lives.
“I remember I was originally working for the boss, but he sent me to protect your mother and you. When I arrived, I couldn’t find you and your mother.”
"Su Hai went to protect the other family members. So neither of us was able to stay with the boss, and we got separated afterwards. I don't know what happened after that."
Xiao Su nodded and said, "That's what my parents said too. They said that after being separated for many years, they accidentally learned of the boss's whereabouts, so they went back to serve him, leaving me alone in the orphanage."
Wen Ming frowned. He was completely unaware of this news and had no idea of their whereabouts from the beginning.
"Actually, our family has always kept a major secret: there is a paradise where resources are extremely abundant and a huge treasure is hidden. Even if you live there for several lifetimes, you will never lack resources."
Upon hearing this, Wang Yang suddenly recalled an article he had learned in his elementary school textbook, never imagining that such a place actually existed in the world.
