Chapter 3137

This was the only question Wang Hu could think of after pondering for a long time, or rather, it was only after the other party answered this question that Wang Hu could continue to ask further.

Regardless of whether the other party was telling the truth, Wang Hu probably didn't care; in any case, he was using this question to break the current deadlock.

Whether the other party was Wang Canghai did not depend on whether he admitted it, but on what Wang Hu himself thought in his heart; this meant that even if the other party was not Wang Canghai, as long as Wang Hu determined he was, then the identity of the person before him was certain.

But conversely, even if everyone acknowledged this Wang Canghai, as long as Wang Hu did not acknowledge it, the people he led behind him would not submit to the other party's orders; this was reality.

Therefore, this question was extremely important to Wang Hu at the moment, and after Wang Canghai heard this command, he couldn't help but be stunned; he looked at this Wang Hu with great interest.

Immediately, he shook his head and said, "Do you think what I said just now was a joke or the truth? If you thought it was just a joke, you wouldn't be asking me again, would you?"

Wang Canghai was truly good at reading people's hearts, so at this moment, he did not discuss anything else with the other party, but simply laid the facts before him, letting him distinguish for himself.

If he couldn't even distinguish this simple logic, there was no need for him to continue talking to the other party; on this point, Wang Canghai was more certain than anyone else.

Since that was the case, Wang Hu should now give himself a very clear answer; in an instant, as if taking a deep breath, he had to admire the other party's insight, as he saw through his thoughts at the first moment. Wang Hu thought this was very difficult, but in fact, he was overthinking it at the moment.

Even if it wasn't Wang Canghai, as long as it was someone who could roughly distinguish the essence of things or human hearts, they could see through Wang Hu's little thoughts, because he really didn't have much depth of character.

It was mentioned before that the reason the Wang family sent him over was simply because there was truly no one else available, so they picked the best among the worst and sent him over.

From this point, one could distinguish that he was not the most outstanding one, but just happened to catch this timing, and Mr. Wang would never dream that Wang Hu at this moment had betrayed him in such a way.

If Mr. Wang knew about this matter now, his guts would surely turn green with regret, because at the time, he had many choices, and it didn't necessarily have to be Wang Hu.

Usually, the state Wang Hu displayed was not particularly clever, which is why Mr. Wang sent him to the Second Archaeological Team, because he knew very well that the Second Archaeological Team was more important to Zhang Lin.

If he had sent a clever person or someone who thought they were clever, it might very well have led to things backfiring, which was not the result Mr. Wang wanted to see.

Since that was the case, what Mr. Wang had to do was not necessarily perfect, but at the very least, he had to pursue the doctrine of the mean; he didn't expect that this pursuit of the doctrine of the mean would lead to Mr. Wang's true backfiring.

Since Wang Hu had made this choice, he would not easily turn back, although up to now there had been no actual actions, and he was even just confirming Wang Canghai's identity.

However, through the emotion in his gaze, even a fool could distinguish that he no longer cared about those previous matters; as long as Wang Canghai dared to admit his identity, he would stand on the other party's side without hesitation.

In fact, there was one point Wang Hu had never thought about, which was that although the Wang family was built by Wang Canghai, from a realistic perspective, Wang Canghai as a person had even a shred of merit.

Mr. Wang would not have chosen to betray him easily. If Wang Hu didn't know what Mr. Wang was avoiding before, then his current approach was understandable, but Wang Hu had previously thought that Mr. Wang was not only avoiding Zhang Lin but also avoiding Wang Canghai.

Since he was so clear about this matter, he shouldn't hold such foolish thoughts; after all, even someone like Mr. Wang had to flee, which showed that Wang Canghai was no longer giving the Wang family a chance.

Even if there was a chance, he just wanted the Wang family members to dig their own graves, thereby helping himself achieve such ambition. If it were just immortality, then Mr. Wang naturally believed, or rather, Wang Canghai wanted to pursue a more perfect immortality; all of this had value.

The longer Wang Canghai lived, the longer the Wang family would receive protection, but fundamentally, he was no longer pursuing things like immortality, and the things he pursued were also deviating.

Mr. Wang had not discussed the matter of becoming an immortal with Zhang Lin, but he was also certain that such a thing was simply unrealistic.

Since it was fundamentally unrealistic, why did Wang Canghai have to sacrifice so many lives? Mr. Wang truly couldn't understand, and at the same time, he had subtly revealed his thoughts to Wang Canghai.

He didn't expect Wang Canghai not to listen at all, but in his view, this was also a matter of course; after all, for so many years, Wang Canghai had always insisted on his own ideas and would not listen to other people's opinions at all.

And these other people could be Xue Long, or they could be Mr. Wang; Wang Canghai would certainly turn a deaf ear to their words, and if they said it too many times, Wang Canghai might even get angry.
