Chapter 1963

It was he who had pushed the Wang family to where it stood today, but now he was about to become a discarded pawn — to say he felt no resentment in his heart would be impossible.

Yet the moment Mr. Wang set down the phone, he closed his eyes in agony, thinking to himself that no matter how resentful he was, what meaning could it possibly have?

Every order from Wang Wang Canghai was the final answer, and what came along with that answer was the forgetting of a fate already sealed.

Mr. Wang had some vague premonition of this. He was certain that if things were truly handled as Wang Wang Canghai said, the aftermath would certainly bring no good outcome. Unfortunately, he ultimately could not make any decisions in place of Wang Wang Zanghai — if Mr. Wang were truly the kind of person who dared to sacrifice himself.

In other words, right now he did not worry about Wang Wang Canghai making things difficult for him, did not worry that he would die an unnatural death or end up in a state worse than death. He would no longer accept Wang Wang Canghai's orders. Of course, all of this did not mean he had betrayed Wang Wang Canghai; rather, from a certain angle, he was helping Wang Wang Canghai.

In other words, on the basis of going against Wang Wang Canghai's orders, he let the Wang family people make different choices. If that were the case, Mr. Wang believed his help to Wang Wang Canghai would be even greater.

But at this thought, Mr. Wang finally let out a sigh. He had to admit he did not have the courage to make such a decision. For him, this kind of decision was pure fantasy. If he truly had such courage, he probably would not have been enslaved under Wang Wang Canghai's hand until today.

As for the matter of enslavement itself, Mr. Wang might be able to overlook it. But if the person he called master was now about to drag him down a road to ruin along with himself, then it would be a case of "if a man does not look out for himself, heaven and earth will destroy him."

Actually, from this angle, one can also see why the Wang family's internal situation is so chaotic right now and simply cannot be stabilized. After all, even the Wang family's nominal leader has already begun seeking a way out for himself — let alone the others.

Under such circumstances, the wisest choice was to play it safe, stop getting involved in these matters, and hide oneself well. Only in this way could one weather the coming crisis.

On this point, Mr. Wang believed it without the slightest doubt.

The next moment, Mr. Wang took a deep breath. He had just sent this order to the Wang family members stationed outside. For him, this might be among the last few orders he would ever issue.

Perhaps Mr. Wang would not directly flee from here, but he told himself with certainty that in the days before Wang Wang Canghai arrived, if he made the corresponding prediction and knew roughly when the other party would arrive —

— then from his perspective, he would absolutely react. Whatever had been done against Leng Feng before, or whatever would be done against other Wang family members afterward — Mr. Wang could cast all of that from his mind. Under the present circumstances, nothing was more important than saving his own life.

This was the very firm answer Mr. Wang had given himself. And within that answer, Mr. Wang might have walked into a dead end, yet he had not changed his own understanding. Moreover, once this kind of person decided to do something, he would absolutely handle every problem in a most decisive manner.

Perhaps any hesitation would be a disrespect to his own life. From this point alone, one can see that this Mr. Wang is absolutely a ruthless man.

In fact, from a certain angle, the way he handled things was even more decisive than Wang Wang Canghai's. Perhaps the old Wang Wang Canghai could have been far more decisive than this Mr. Wang, but now he had suddenly become hesitant and overcautious.

The greatest hope Mr. Wang had seized upon was the decision Wang Wang Canghai had made before the Second Archaeological Team had left the tomb of King Xian. He believed that decision was very wise, because the Second Archaeological Team had already pushed the situation to that point.

Then Wang Wang Canghai should have become uninhibited — first take out the Second Archaeological Team, then see Zhang Lin's attitude. Mr. Wang had actually, at times, already begun to look down on Wang Wang Canghai.

He thought to himself: how could Wang Wang Canghai fail to grasp such a shallow principle? Zhang Lin had already launched a full-scale offensive against Wang Wang Canghai with this aggressive, pressing posture.

Yet Wang Wang Canghai still clung to the idea of resolving things peacefully with Zhang Lin — or rather, he believed it ultimately might not be peacefully resolved, but he still cared about the movements of the Muchen Zhu and those other things.

Regarding the matter of Tiangong, Mr. Wang did not know what Wang Wang Canghai was being cautious about. Actually, from his perspective, if Wang Wang Canghai was merely trying to interfere with the First Archaeological Team's situation, there was absolutely no need to make this kind of choice.
