Chapter 2398

~5 min read 971 words

Firmly, Mr. Wang understood how slim his hope was, but he had to grasp this last straw.

Otherwise, by the day Wang Canghai reacted, or the day Wang Canghai really chose to burn his bridges, perhaps he would be the first stepping stone on his path.

No matter how many people Wang Canghai would kill later, at least according to the other party's habits, he would definitely clear out all those who had ever betrayed him immediately, even at any cost.

Mr. Wang was more certain of this than anyone else. This was also why he was so panicked at this time and maintained this state to play the game with the other party.

The moment Zhang Lin walked down from the Crescent Hotel, only Mr. Wang's reaction was different from others. He wasn't inexplicable; on the contrary, he was pleasantly surprised!

Because based on Zhang Lin's reaction, he had already guessed that the other party must have paid attention to that phone call from Wu Ya just now.

And that subtle look of Wu Ya was also seen by Zhang Lin. Under this premise, Mr. Wang believed that his success rate had increased by a few points.

At least Zhang Lin paid attention to him. Mr. Wang clasped his hands together and prayed desperately, hoping that things were as he guessed and that there wouldn't be any deviation, because he couldn't bear any consequences this deviation would bring him.

Perhaps if he hadn't chosen to follow Wang Canghai at the beginning, he wouldn't have faced such an awkward situation. However, Mr. Wang didn't recognize reality.

The logic Wang Canghai followed was completely correct. Mr. Wang wasn't a good person. Over the years, if it weren't for Wang Canghai's support behind the scenes, how could Mr. Wang have grown the Wang family to this extent? So, in an essential sense, without Wang Canghai, there would be no Mr. Wang today.

At the same time, the true master of the Wang family would always be Wang Canghai, not him, Mr. Wang.

Perhaps Mr. Wang had already realized what he had done wrong in the whole process, but he was still obsessed, because even if he recognized these things, the final result wouldn't have many deviations. Anyway, he would definitely die without a burial place.

Under this premise, before Wang Canghai burned his bridges, Mr. Wang simply took a step ahead to make all the responses. As the saying goes, "walk on others' paths so that others have no path to walk." The most important thing was that Wang Canghai hadn't reacted to anything yet.

He didn't believe Mr. Wang could have such a plan. Even if he did, did he really have such guts?

If he chose to defect to Zhang Lin, perhaps Xue Long could, and the nameless soldiers under Mr. Wang could too, but Mr. Wang was a very awkward existence for Zhang Lin or for the official side.

Without Wang Canghai's identity being exposed, Mr. Wang was the true leader of the Wang family. If the situation reached a particularly awkward point.

The official side could even let most people go, but it absolutely wouldn't include Mr. Wang. According to the official side's habits, they would wipe out the mastermind to serve as a warning to others.

If the Wang family didn't receive the punishment it deserved, then maybe some Sun family, Wang family, Li family would run out later. These messy families were all for obtaining corresponding benefits in the tombs. Even if the Wang family's true purpose wasn't like this, who would care about the realistic situation?

They wouldn't care about these; they would only determine that the Wang family had occupied most of the resources in this way, and even planned in secret for so many years. The impact on ordinary people was also deep enough.

Everyone would carry that corresponding hatred for the Wang family, and even if they saw the Wang family members in a down-and-out situation, their first choice absolutely wouldn't be to extend a helping hand or stand by and watch coldly.

But to beat a dog in the water. Perhaps it was precisely because Mr. Wang saw that the future situation would become such a crisis state.

That he resolutely made this choice.

The reason why Wang Canghai didn't predict this situation this time was because he completely underestimated the price and courage Mr. Wang could pay for this matter.

It had to be said that even after manipulating Mr. Wang for so many years, Wang Canghai hadn't truly analyzed this person's character at this moment, which was another reason why he would inevitably fail.

Wang Canghai was desperately covering up the tension and urgency in his tone. The next moment, he said slowly: "Zhang Lin, I don't know what your purpose is for suddenly leaving the Crescent Hotel, but there are some people you will never receive under your command, right?"

Wang Canghai's words were full of probing meaning. It seemed he had also reacted that there was probably only one reason for the other party to make such a move.

Whether it was Wang Cen or Su Nan, no matter what way they used to betray him now, even if Wang Canghai couldn't accept it, he had to admit that such a thing was possible.

That was why he desperately wanted Zhang Lin to give him an answer.

And Zhang Lin raised his eyebrows upon hearing this. In fact, the other party being able to think of this step had already far exceeded what Zhang Lin had expected. According to the state Wang Canghai had been in all along, he was already in a semi-manic situation.

Such a person, no matter what happened, would definitely be unable to judge. Unexpectedly, Wang Canghai had really calmed down at this time.
