Chapter 3157: Let More of the Wang Family Hear Your Voice!

So he could use Wang Hu as bait, or rather have Wang Hu speak on his behalf, to spread the things he knew, and in this way Wang Canghai could gain more manpower—Wang Canghai was now very clear on this.

Rather than thinking about those traitors who had once served under him, it was better to build a fresh force. Although Mr. Wang had betrayed him, that did not mean every member of the Wang family had erased Wang Canghai from their minds; as long as that notion still existed, Wang Canghai believed he had a chance to turn things around.

But at this moment Wang Canghai also knew very well that Mr. Wang was not that foolish. Over the years, although Mr. Wang had remained under his control, that ability to plan and strategize was certainly not empty talk—otherwise Wang Canghai would never have relied on him for so many years.

Only in Wang Canghai's view, the man was still far beneath him. This was no self-praise; even Mr. Wang himself, whether in Wang Canghai's presence or before others, had to admit it.

Mr. Wang himself was certain that, had Zhang Lin not appeared, no one could have dealt with Wang Canghai. This was an objective fact, not open to anyone's argument.

But Zhang Lin's existence could not ultimately be ruled out. He had shown Wang Canghai in the most practical way that he could accomplish these things, and had all along been leading Wang Canghai into one mistaken judgment after another. On the contrary, Zhang Lin did not feel any great sense of achievement in this—and that might be what truly stung Wang Canghai to the core.

Once everything was arranged, Wang Canghai took his people and boarded the plane, and he paid no further attention to the remaining ten men. In his view, even if those ten really were killed on the road, it would be no loss at all.

Sending those people to Archaeology Team One was merely a way to send Zhang Lin a false signal.

If Zhang Lin fell into hesitation, or because of his appearance the Wang Hu sent to Archaeology Team Two led everyone in a betrayal of Mr. Wang—

—and that very thing caused Zhang Lin to grow suspicious of Mr. Wang along with them, then Wang Canghai would have won.

Even if it did not reach that point, the immediate gains Wang Canghai had already secured were more than enough to satisfy him, let alone what would come later. At the thought, a self-mocking smile involuntarily crept onto Wang Canghai's lips.

He asked himself when he had become like this. In the past, such small immediate gains would never have caught his eye, and a team of a few dozen men in his eyes was only passable at best.

Because back then, with a single order from him, no matter how many people he asked Mr. Wang to send, they would carry out the command without a second thought—so long as the Wang family had that many people.

But now everything seemed to have reached a dead end, and Wang Canghai had no way to make a choice, so this time he had finally managed to snatch a small advantage.

He could not help constantly feeling fortunate about the choice he had made. In fact, when he first encountered these Wang family members, Wang Canghai had originally intended only to follow along with them.

Then he would see what they did after reaching Archaeology Team Two. At the very least, one thing could satisfy Wang Canghai's requirement: once these people blew open the tomb, Wang Canghai really could slip in.

And take what he wanted. As long as he obtained the Muchen Zhu, the rest Wang Canghai could entirely ignore.

But later the turn of events far exceeded Wang Canghai's expectations. He had never imagined that the other side still carried that kind of faith in him, so at that time Wang Canghai had only made a casual remark.

He had not expected Wang Hu would truly submit to his command, but a man like him, once he caught even the slightest opportunity, seeing that kind of sign would absolutely not let it go.

That was the main reason he was now able to seize these things.

Looking back at Wang Hu at this moment, his face was flushed with excitement, for he believed he had grasped a true lifeline. As long as he followed Wang Canghai, everything in the future would be in his own hands. He even wondered whether he might become the next Mr. Wang and lead the Wang family.

Although most of the Wang family members were still under Mr. Wang's leadership, if Wang Canghai could step forward to direct them, and with Wang Hu himself as corroboration, then he was confident that even if not everyone would stand on their side, at least seventy percent would definitely choose to defect to Wang Canghai.

But if Wang Canghai learned of Wang Hu's thoughts, he might change his assessment of this man. At first Wang Canghai had indeed appreciated Wang Hu greatly; on that basis he had even thought that, if circumstances were not so special this time, he would have let Wang Hu become the next Mr. Wang to lead all the Wang family members.

But given the current Wang family members, gaining their trust was extremely difficult. Because once Wang Hu's matter came to light, Mr. Wang would be alerted at once and would use every means to brainwash the Wang family members.

As for brainwashing, Mr. Wang had unquestionably received the true transmission from Wang Canghai. He could make at least seventy or eighty percent of the Wang family members believe that Wang Canghai was an utterly vicious and evil being. However, at present he would not expose Wang Canghai's identity, because doing so would only backfire.

After guiding things along according to the situation and laying all this out, Mr. Wang believed most people's thinking would shift. Of course, Wang Hu certainly did not know what Mr. Wang was thinking now, nor did he understand what kind of person his former leader, Mr. Wang, truly was.

So the moment he fastened his seatbelt, Wang Hu instinctively said, "Master, shouldn't we find a way to let the rest of the Wang family members hear your voice as well? That way we'd have a much greater force behind us, and it would help us greatly with what comes later."

Wang Canghai, who had been resting with his eyes closed, lifted his eyelids at those words, then shook his head and showed a disdainful smile.

He thought to himself, how could Wang Hu be so naive. But for now he still needed to use these people to help himself, so Wang Canghai had to remain patient and explain the pros and cons clearly to the man.

Otherwise, if the other party remained forever immersed in such thinking, it would do him no good either.

So the next moment, Wang Canghai took a deep breath and said, "Do you usually stay by Mr. Wang's side?"

Wang Hu was startled and hurriedly shook his head. "No, I'm usually out on assignments, but the tasks I'm in charge of are all pretty unsavory."

Wang Hu was not lying. Facing Wang Canghai, he did not have the courage to lie. Even though at that moment he felt the urge to boast about himself, some things simply could not be hidden—his ability was right there for all to see.
