Chapter 2765: Seeing the Wang Family's Future! A Truly Unexpected Gain!
Moreover, it would not change because of anything—Mr. Wang had long since seen through this clearly. Given that, he would absolutely never pledge loyalty to Wang Canghai again, unless one day Wang Canghai could prove that everything he had seen was entirely wrong.
Wang Canghai himself was not that kind of person; the reason he acted that way was simply to use such methods to confuse his opponents.
As long as this point was satisfied, Mr. Wang would absolutely accept everything.
But at this moment he also knew that the chance of such an idea coming true was far too slim. He felt rather helplessly amused in his heart, thinking how could it possibly be like this—just like Zhang Lin becoming utterly depraved, the odds were far, far too low.
Some people are perhaps destined from birth to be a certain way, having nothing to do with the influences they receive; they are born wicked seeds, and no one can change that.
And Wang Canghai happened to be exactly such a person. Right now Mr. Wang felt he had already told the other party everything he could and should say, even some things he shouldn't have. If this person still couldn't understand, then Mr. Wang would first be quite disappointed in him.
The second point was that there was no need to explain anything further to the other party. He couldn't possibly take everything apart and break it down piece by piece to explain it to him—that would be completely pointless. He had to let the man have some capacity for understanding on his own, and at least analyze for him what the current situation actually looked like.
First, Mr. Wang admitted that his earlier understanding was not wrong under certain circumstances; it was just that he hadn't considered things thoroughly enough, hadn't thought about how to wrap things up afterward, and didn't even know what manner he should use to face the authorities and Zhang Lin after completing this matter.
This was the most serious mistake of all. If he had even the slightest bit of vigilance, he could never have made such an error—this was the root of the problem.
And regarding this fundamental issue, Mr. Wang had already given the other party a very good reminder. Now it all depended on how this person reacted. After saying all this, Mr. Wang looked at his trusted subordinate with an appraising gaze.
He thought to himself that if Zhang Lin now refused his conditions and hung up the phone without the slightest hesitation, he would feel utterly hopeless. But if he saw a future—a successor who could grow to be even more outstanding than himself—
then Mr. Wang felt there would be no getting it back. In any case, whether it was Zhang Lin, Wang Canghai, or the authorities, none of them had time to bother with the Wang family members he had brought out.
In other words, for some time to come he could rest easy and take the Wang family to a very hidden place, then quietly plot future development—that was what Mr. Wang truly valued. And based on this, the last tiny flame of hope in Mr. Wang's heart had not been extinguished.
For Mr. Wang, this was absolutely another kind of blessing, which was why he now cared especially about it. And facing this appraising gaze, the trusted subordinate was mainly a little nervous.
Because Mr. Wang rarely looked at him with such eyes, and he was also very clear that the reason things had come to this was that the other party was testing him.
At the same time, he felt he had understood what Mr. Wang had just said, and was nodding subconsciously. He thought to himself that Mr. Wang really did think far ahead, and that he himself had considered things too one-sidedly. But in the final analysis, it was caution that had led to the current choice.
If, under the premise of bold and decisive action, they might really not have had to make such a choice and could still have secured their own vested interests. At the same time, he felt that sometimes there really was no need to get tangled up in all those messy situations—perhaps under those circumstances, they would have had more options and could have changed their fate in different ways.
He had to admit he hadn't told Mr. Wang about this kind of thinking. If he had said it out loud, Mr. Wang might well have slapped him across the face on the spot, because these words were simply too foolish—even more foolish than the earlier speculation!
Relying on the Wang family's own strength, what they could accomplish was already very limited—this was an indisputable fact. And in the face of such a fact, if one kept evading it, one would only appear even more foolish.
So the trusted subordinate thought it over for a long time, and finally could only nod, heaving a heavy sigh in his heart. Although he still hadn't fully understood what Mr. Wang was actually talking about,
he nevertheless had a premonition, and a very strong one at that. He felt the other party must have a point, because in the end it was still that old saying—the older the ginger, the spicier it is. He had no right to question the matters discussed by a man who had once stood at the pinnacle.
Of course, having such thoughts meant he was tacitly assuming that Mr. Wang had now gradually stepped down from that pinnacle. If Mr. Wang learned of this, it wouldn't matter much, because from the very beginning the other's thinking was wrong—he had never stood at the pinnacle, only "second to one, above ten thousand."
The key was that Wang Canghai was still pressing down on his head, and regarding all sorts of matters he was endlessly nagging. What he was doing was simply leading the Wang family to escape quickly and find a way to survive.
And if, in the current situation, all the people of the Wang family were being careless and lackadaisical, that would certainly be of no help whatsoever for what came later.
But the trusted subordinate suddenly thought of this matter and hurriedly said: "Mr. Wang, I'm fine with anything on my end, but the others are already discussing this behind the scenes. If..."
Before he could finish, Mr. Wang sighed, shook his head, and said: "No need to say any more. Now I've had the boat turn around and head back to shore—after that, wherever they want to go is fine, I won't stop them."
Hearing these words, the trusted subordinate immediately took two steps back, looking at Mr. Wang with some disbelief. When they had first fled the Wang family headquarters, Mr. Wang had said exactly this, and they had assumed he was joking—
They had also been convinced that Mr. Wang was using this method to test certain people's loyalty. If no one chose to leave, that would naturally be good, but if such people appeared, Mr. Wang would eliminate them at the first moment—that was the only thing they could think of.
But they never expected that when the first person to take the plunge stepped forward to leave, Mr. Wang didn't say a single word of objection, followed by the second and the third. Fewer than a hundred people left in total, but some still began to hesitate in their hearts.
However, as time went on, things had now become different from before. They gradually dispelled such doubts, becoming convinced that Mr. Wang was indeed a spent force, so his letting them leave had its justification.
On this premise, many people's minds began to stir as well.
