Chapter 2729: Watching the Drama and Not Minding It Getting Bigger! These Bastards!

He believed that the dissolution of the Wang family was fundamentally wrong, but the Wang family had never considered why they had fallen to this point.

Ever since the mysterious person appeared, perhaps Wang Cen had gotten an answer, and Zhang Lin's step-by-step pressure atop the New Moon Restaurant had also compressed the Wang family's living conditions again and again.

Under such intense pressure, accidents would always occur. No matter how long the Wang family had endured before, they would eventually dissolve because of such matters. This was something Wang Cen could not accept at first, but since these things had already happened, he had to accept them whether he wanted to or not.

Wang Cen needed to bear such a fate, and now the facts were indeed so. He had taken on all of that fate, and was willing to pay with his own life to protect the people he had brought, as well as Su Nan's life.

This was the cruelest reality Wang Cen had to face. At the beginning, Wang Cen might still have been unable to accept these things, but as time went on he gradually accepted everything, and told himself in his heart, what could he do even if he didn't accept it? Sometimes things were just like that.

But now Wang Cen could not help but sigh from the bottom of his heart. He finally understood why the Wang family had become like this—it was not because of the mysterious person, and even less because of Zhang Lin.

From beginning to end, there had been enormous hidden dangers within the Wang family itself, which led to all these subsequent events. In fact, Wang Cen was also very clear that even without Zhang Lin's or the mysterious person's appearance, the Wang family, with such behavior and internal hidden dangers, would sooner or later have run into trouble.

Setting aside everything else, just the situation with that Ga'wa was the most typical example—no one knew how many beings like Ga'wa still existed.

One must know that a large portion of the Wang family members outside were not under Mr. Wang's control; they were deliberately developed by the commanders of these Wang family squads. In other words, they did not have such a thing as a ratio, nor were they bound by the Wang family's restraints.

At the same time, some of them didn't even know of the Wang family's existence itself. Peripheral Wang family members like Ga'wa who were directly under the Wang family's command were still in the minority.

Most of the peripheral members might now know everything, but they would soon abandon their identity as Wang family members. Moreover, whether they had ever claimed to be Wang family members before this was unknown to anyone.

Under this premise, the Wang family was merely a front for their survival—when it was useful, they would bring out this front to intimidate people; when it was useless, they would cast it aside like a worn-out shoe. Such Wang family members were clearly not what Wang Cen wanted to see.

This was even more true now. Although the ones who came were Wang family members, Wang Cen felt a mixture of emotions in his heart, wondering if the people arriving now were the so-called peripheral members of the Wang family. And this time Mr. Wang had no sincerity whatsoever in reaching these kinds of cooperation with Zhang Lin. Wang Cen's previous thoughts had actually all been correct.

Only this last matter was truly a bit narrow-minded on his part. Once things had reached this point, it was no longer something any single person could decide. If one person could solve all the problems, it could only be Zhang Lin—this was a fact acknowledged by everyone. Since the fact was right there, it allowed no one to deny anything.

Looking at Wang Cen at this moment, his wild thoughts in his head could not solve the fundamental problem either. He only heard the footsteps in the distance growing more urgent, and Fatty also gave up his suspicion of Wang Cen.

A flash of inspiration struck his mind, and he suddenly thought of the things that had happened before. Wang Cen's perception was correct—Fatty was not stupid; he had merely blocked his train of thought on certain matters, and had not thought through the cause and effect of these things for a moment just now.

And once things became obvious, Fatty could react to this point at the first moment. It was undeniable that Fatty did have a clever side, and Wu Tianzhen naturally saw the situation.

Immediately he quickly gathered the members of Archaeology Team One and assumed a posture to meet the enemy. This was not because Wu Tianzhen was overly nervous, but because the current situation was not one hundred percent certain. Any slight deviation could very likely bring a catastrophic disaster upon Archaeology Team One.

Their current actions were absolutely not a joke. Wu Tianzhen believed that even if Zhang Lin were here, without a one hundred percent certainty of the situation, he would also adopt this kind of vigilant posture—this point he was more certain of than anyone. Since that was the case, Wu Tianzhen did not feel there was anything shameful about doing so.

Yet in the barrage of comments there was a chorus of discordant voices.

【What does he mean? A bird startled by the sound of a bow?】

【I think he's being too overly cautious. Didn't Mr. Zhang say so before?】

【Mr. Zhang told them privately that another group of Wang family members would arrive here to help them. Are these people all deaf?】

【I guess their memories got skewed because of what just happened.】

【Stop your bullshit. The logic isn't complicated—they don't trust Mr. Zhang.】

【Bullshit. I hate people like you who stir things up randomly. It's not that they don't trust Mr. Zhang, it's that they don't trust the Wang family members.】

【That's the right way to put it. Don't follow the crowd blindly. You should know that some things even the officials wouldn't dare say.】

For a moment the barrage immediately fell silent. Following the crowd was indeed quite harmful. Take the relationship between Archaeology Team One and Zhang Lin for example—the logic was actually very easy to figure out.

If Zhang Lin really wanted to fool Archaeology Team One, or wanted to make some other choice, he had absolutely no need to send Wu Ya to Archaeology Team One. He could simply let Archaeology Team One fend for themselves, and the subsequent matters could be properly resolved.

Zhang Lin could also satisfy his gaming mentality, but in the final analysis it was not like that. Zhang Lin had no such intentions, so now Archaeology Team One really should be grateful to Zhang Lin, rather than harbor complaints.

It's just that some of the comments in the barrage were indeed rather narrow-minded. There was no helping it—after all, the quality of the people watching the livestream was uneven. Some people just loved watching the drama and didn't care how big it got, wishing nothing more than for Archaeology Team One to poke a hole in the sky.

Or perhaps they harbored that distrustful attitude toward Zhang Lin, and then someone would stir things up randomly, saying things like Zhang Lin had gone to great pains but the archaeology team didn't appreciate it, and so on. All of this could become reality.

At first it might be false, but once one person starts spreading a rhythm like this, there will be two, then three, and finally it spreads like a virus. At that point no one even cares what the truth is anymore—and that is the most terrifying thing.

Regarding this kind of terrifying thing, experienced people understood that nipping it in the bud at the first moment was the most correct choice.

Rather than arguing with those people and trying to explain yourself, which would only make things worse, and at the same time fall into the other party's trap, unknowingly sinking into their rhythm—that was the most terrifying thing.
