Chapter 2705: Must Observe the Stars at Night? Who Told You That!

~6 min read 1,133 words

And Yang Lu watched the busy crowd, took a deep breath at this moment, and then slowly nodded, feeling that things had basically already become a foregone conclusion.

There was no need to worry about certain things anymore; as long as this one point was satisfied, Yang Lu felt that for her it was already enough.

Another point was that the crucial moment was about to arrive—after Zhang Lin ascended the New Moon Restaurant, Yang Lu gained yet another ally; based on this, how could she not breathe a sigh of relief?

But this mood lasted only an instant, and Yang Lu quickly shook her head, knowing that this kind of thinking of hers was definitely wrong.

Because she wanted her team members to maintain that absolutely clear-headed state, infinitely close to calm, so she herself should set the example, rather than loosening that bolt ahead of time.

She believed this was also the situation Zhang Lin wanted to see—mindless relaxation would only harm herself.

Looking back at Wang Canghai at this moment, he gazed at the hidden relief and fell into deep thought, and at this time Wang Hu didn't dare ask anything more. Before this, every time he asked Wang Canghai, or wanted Wang Canghai to boost morale, the other party would be very displeased,

Under this premise, Wang Hu knew that if he dared say anything more, he would be stopped by the other party at the first moment, and might even be made to shut up by extreme means.

After a brief understanding, Wang Hu had already adjusted his perception very clearly—Wang Canghai was that kind of absolutely cold-blooded and heartless person, so he would have no mercy at all, and the same went for his own subordinates. Once Wang Canghai saw anyone make a mistake, he would eliminate them at the first moment.

Wang Hu had made mistakes twice before—of course, in Wang Canghai's perception, these mistakes were what Wang Hu instinctively thought were out of kindness; he hadn't expected that "following Mr. Wang" and these two things were completely different concepts.

Actually, from anyone's perspective, one should think Wang Hu could have figured this out, since Zhang Lin had already made it very clear in the livestream what kind of person Wang Canghai was.

But facing such reality, there are always those who refuse to see the light—such as Wang Hu right now. Even though reality had already reached this point, he still hadn't reacted.

Or rather, even if Wang Hu saw the truth, he would deny it to himself; he was so unrepentant that even if he hit a wall, he would still believe it was the right path.

From the very beginning, how Wang Hu handled every situation made this clear—he was self-righteously doing it for the Wang family's good, for everyone's good. He hoped the Wang family would get on the truly right track, or rather maintain that original invincible image.

But it was precisely this kind of thinking that led him into this endless abyss. Fortunately, he wasn't Mr. Wang, nor did he control the entire Wang family; otherwise, by now all the Wang family members would probably be in an extremely passive situation—after all, not every Wang family member is as brain-dead as Wang Hu.

Right now, no matter what Wang Hu thought inside, he felt this situation was already destined. Since a choice had been made, don't regret it, or else one would fall into a two-faced, three-knife situation.

The most terrifying thing is that this person is Wang Canghai—even if he harbors other thoughts, they would be strangled in the cradle at the first moment. That is the most horrifying part.

So now Wang Hu could only obediently follow by Wang Canghai's side. As for whether he felt regret in his heart, perhaps there was that one percent, or even one thousandth of a percent.

But under the contrast of such obsession, Wang Hu also cast this regret behind his mind in an instant. Perhaps this is what Zhang Lin has been saying—deserving to die. Wang Hu is exactly this kind of person, after all he is truly too stubborn and unrepentant.

If he had even the slightest bit of remorse, he wouldn't have ended up in such an awkward situation.

Wang Canghai looked up at the sky, remaining silent the whole time, and Wang Hu finally couldn't hold back, so he asked: "Master, it's daytime now and we can't see any stars at all. Should we wait until night to act?" Wang Hu had assumed Wang Canghai would scold him for this, but he didn't expect that the next moment Wang Canghai immediately laughed.

Then he said: "As a member of the Wang family, don't you even understand this one thing?"

Wang Hu couldn't help but be stunned. What Wang Canghai was referring to was some knowledge—Wang Hu could still tell that much—and precisely because of this, he couldn't help feeling a bit ashamed.

He scratched his head and said somewhat embarrassedly: "I really am a bit unlearned. Please enlighten me, Master."

Wang Canghai shook his head, then explained: "It's very simple. You can also see stars during the day—it's just experience. If all feng shui masters had to observe the stars at night, then the time spent building those ancient tombs would double. Who has that kind of time cost? So you also have to be able to distinguish star positions during the day!"

Hearing this explanation, Wang Hu was utterly in awe of Wang Canghai, and didn't even know how to flatter him, but Wang Canghai wasn't interested in such things.

At the same time, he had only stated some common sense. If even this was worth praising, then Wang Canghai would be even more at a loss for how to face Zhang Lin.

Just as he had said earlier, whether on his side or Zhang Lin's, he believed this was the most basic common sense. If one really made a fuss about it, one would inevitably be laughed at.

But Wang Hu, as a member of the Wang family, didn't know this. At first Wang Canghai was quite surprised, but after thinking about it, he didn't pursue the matter—that was the other person's business, and besides, he was using the other person to do those things later; it was simply a choice he made.

Wang Canghai wasn't counting on Wang Hu to create any value for him. The key was that the other party could draw the attention of the Second Archaeology Team. If he arrived at the Second Archaeology Team alone, then Yang Lu would be watching him every single moment.

No matter how strong Wang Canghai's confidence was, if there was always a pair of eyes watching him, he would become at a loss.
