Chapter 2753

Because he had instead done the most correct thing—if Zhang Lin had no intention of honoring his promise in the first place, why would he let his own subordinates go to their deaths like that?

Wouldn't that mean he had gone to all that trouble only to make a wedding dress for someone else? In his view, there was no one that foolish in this world.

So Mr. Wang would certainly not play such a role either. Once he had thought through all of this, Mr. Wang was no longer so nervous. And just as Zhang Lin on the other end of the phone was about to speak, Mr. Wang cut him off first.

Immediately afterward he heard him say: "Mr. Zhang, I know you are very displeased that I rushed to call you like this. Previously you had clearly already given the order, and all I had to do was carry it out."

It might be because Zhang Lin had not yet gone to New Moon Restaurant, and Mr. Wang assumed the other still had plenty of time, so at this moment he planned to deliver a long-winded speech, hoping that in this way he could make Zhang Lin overlook the key point—perhaps he could secure more benefits.

This is being a true case of overthinking, and even somewhat underestimating Zhang Lin. If Zhang Lin couldn't see through even this little scheme, he wouldn't be qualified to fight Wang Canghai.

All along, Wang Canghai had never looked at Zhang Lin in this way, let alone Mr. Wang. Rather than saying he didn't care about Zhang Lin's scheming now, it would be better to say he simply didn't know how to respond. Zhang Lin simply decided to smash the pot and break the tiles.

And amid the constant inner turmoil, Mr. Wang was now in a state of going all out; he no longer cared about anything else, only wanting to secure more benefits for the Wang family. This was very rare.

In fact, many people cannot do what Mr. Wang did. They have walked all the way to today with a selfish mindset, and sometimes those people even use such methods to glorify themselves, thinking that loyalty itself is a very foolish thing that only invites criticism.

They don't know that Mr. Wang's loyalty instead saved his life at the most critical moment. This is also a double-edged sword that Zhang Lin saw. Zhang Lin was very clear: if Mr. Wang were truly betraying completely now, Wang Canghai would absolutely not be at ease. So it's possible that Mr. Wang only pretended to betray Wang Canghai and was still planning to scheme against him afterward.

But Zhang Lin had also considered all this. There was another possibility that leaned in his favor: that Mr. Wang had betrayed Wang Canghai under unavoidable circumstances.

First, he was indeed loyal to Wang Canghai; second, he was also loyal to the Wang family. When these two could not both be served, a state of inner conflict arose in Mr. Wang's heart. In the end he chose the entire family, so he would be criticized, but at the same time his choice was not a great deviation.

After all, Mr. Wang had to work for the overall revival of the Wang family, not to serve Wang Canghai alone. So many Wang family members had already been sacrificed before, including the Wang family's most elite squad—was that still not enough?

If he were to make this kind of choice again now, Mr. Wang felt it really couldn't be justified. He believed these matters could come to an end, and that planning for what came next was now the most important thing, not thinking about all this messy stuff.

This was the thought Mr. Wang held at this moment. If Wang Canghai were to learn of such thinking, he would absolutely scoff at it, and might even follow up with thunderous rage to directly shatter the Wang family's current plans, including tearing Mr. Wang to pieces—all of these were possible.

To put it plainly, Mr. Wang had no chance to talk about loyalty or righteousness. Wang Canghai wanted to cut the weeds and dig up the roots; he believed Mr. Wang could not only fail to help the Wang family, but would become a malignant tumor within it.

Since such a malignant tumor existed, he had to find a way to eliminate it at the first opportunity, not let such a malignant tumor completely destroy the Wang family. But Mr. Wang and Wang Canghai's starting points were completely different.

After all, Mr. Wang still wanted the Wang family to continue, while for Wang Canghai, how many people the Wang family had now didn't matter, and how many people were sacrificed in this matter of his mattered even less.

Anyway, as long as he gave the order, there would be people willing to charge forward one after another. In the end, sacrificing all the Wang family people was understandable as long as he could achieve his goal.
