Chapter 2823: A Strange Way of Speaking! It's Just Putting On an Air of Depth!

~6 min read 1,184 words

It was the same ferocious face he usually showed. If it had been anyone else, they would certainly be questioning their life at this moment, but Wang Hu still paid no attention to any of it.

He felt that as long as he saw all this, it was already enough, because following the right master could get everything done perfectly. Clearly, this Wang Hu was truly beyond saving.

He seemed to have laid everything out on the table, but in reality none of it was on his side. Wang Hu himself had not realized this.

He still believed that as long as he followed Wang Canghai, all problems could be solved. And that smile of Wang Canghai just now—if it wasn't madness, it meant he was brimming with confidence. This was something Wang Hu hadn't understood from the start.

Because no matter how much he flattered this master, he understood that now Wang Canghai had very few choices left to make. Even the heavens weren't giving him much chance. Under this premise, why could he still maintain such a smile? This was something no one could figure out.

But as time went on, Wang Hu understood he didn't need to comprehend these things, because some things inherently carried different values that simply couldn't be understood. He only needed to obey orders.

This thought grew increasingly firm in Wang Hu's heart, but curiosity is the instinct that drives humans to do foolish things. At this moment, Wang Hu was extremely curious about what exactly had happened to make Wang Canghai laugh so uncontrollably.

One must know that no matter how grandly Wang Canghai had spoken before, Wang Hu's years of ability to read faces and observe expressions were still quite excellent. He could tell from the other's micro-expressions that Wang Canghai appeared to have everything in his own hands, but in reality was already at the end of his rope.

Wang Canghai didn't have much hope in his heart. He believed this matter wasn't that optimistic either. Under this premise, Wang Canghai shouldn't have shown such an expression, but now everything had exceeded Wang Hu's understanding.

So at this moment Wang Hu mustered his courage and asked: "Master, just now why did you—?"

He didn't continue speaking. Wang Hu felt saying this much was already enough, because Wang Canghai clearly knew what he wanted to ask, and also fully understood that hiding some things from him was meaningless, since he had already expressed his loyalty before this.

At the same time, Wang Hu believed no one could be more loyal to the other than himself—at least under the current circumstances, this was absolutely the case. Wang Hu was very confident about this. Based on this confidence, Wang Hu wanted to ask exactly what had happened.

So this time he finally mustered his courage, and also realized that throughout the entire process, although Wang Canghai didn't think much of him,

at the same time he hadn't made a move either. This proved the other's range of choices was growing smaller and smaller. Based on this point, Wang Hu also became more confident than before.

But he didn't face it with an overconfident, brazen attitude. Wang Canghai also understood that no matter how few choices the other had, if he went too far based on that, he might well turn a good hand into a complete disaster.

In fact, Wang Hu often failed to realize that his own choices had already gone fundamentally wrong. He kept pinning his hopes on Wang Canghai being able to lead him to a better situation.

Even becoming a second Mr. Wang. The reason he had such thoughts was that he assumed when the Wang family was first established, things hadn't gone smoothly either, and Wang Canghai had held onto this kind of thinking and ultimately made a comeback against all odds. But in reality, it wasn't like this at all.

When establishing the Wang family, Wang Canghai hadn't encountered any obstacles at all. He completed the arrangements he wanted very smoothly, and everything he obtained came with incredible ease.

And now what he faced ahead was an extremely extreme challenge—namely Zhang Lin. From Zhang Lin's perspective, Wang Canghai was nothing but a performing clown. In the past, Wang Canghai hadn't realized this, but now Wang Canghai himself understood all of this.

Since everything was already approaching this point, Wang Canghai naturally went all in, because either everyone ascended together, or he alone survived.

This was what Wang Canghai was thinking now. Upon hearing Wang Hu ask this, Wang Canghai smiled faintly. This time he didn't rebuke him, just took a deep breath and gazed at the distant eastern sky, where a faint golden light seemed to linger.

Wang Canghai took another deep breath, then said: "The gears of fate have begun to turn. Everything will be proven, and you and I are the best witnesses of this event."

This was the answer Wang Canghai gave. The answer was somewhat ambiguous, somewhat strange, even somewhat deliberately mysterious. But Wang Hu thought about it for a long time. Not only did he not feel Wang Canghai was putting on an act, he instead believed that the other being able to give such a reply meant he was deliberately testing him.

He needed to accept this test, so as not to betray Wang Canghai's trust in him. Of course, the whole matter was also a process of earning trust.

While Wang Hu was thinking about this, everyone on Archaeology Team One seemed to be in a state about to lose their tempers. Zhang Lin finally noticed this. He closed his eyes, feeling something wasn't quite right.

Between the two tombs, he felt there would be a common point, or something that would draw certain people and certain events to that point—just like Archaeology Team Two now.

Fate had already arranged everything. Yang Lu's purpose in coming here had always been to lift the curse on her body. If the red marks on her couldn't be removed, then all efforts would lose their original meaning. It was precisely because of this that Zhang Lin leaned toward favoring Archaeology Team Two.

Because Archaeology Team Two's situation was currently more tense, and under such tension, Zhang Lin's favoritism was understandable. Unfortunately, many people didn't accept this, and Fatty was the foremost among them.

Perhaps there were other answers within this. The reason Zhang Lin had been blinded at first was that he assumed Fatty's issues were nothing more than some minor complaints from his personal perspective.

Regarding such complaints, when Zhang Lin wanted to pay attention, he could talk it over with the other. When he didn't want to deal with them, Zhang Lin could also choose to remain silent. This was inevitable.

But now the changes in the situation itself left Zhang Lin somewhat astonished. Faced with such astonishment, Zhang Lin helplessly shook his head.

He knew things couldn't continue like this. If continuing this way could give the most peaceful explanation for all outcomes, then Zhang Lin could completely continue being the hands-off boss.
