Chapter 3158: The Name That Must Not Be Spoken! Purge the Ranks?

If it were because he had boasted about Shen and later proved lacking in some matters, then he would also feel he had let Wang Canghai down; after all, he had only just found such a faith, and he did not want to lose that trust before his faith in an instant.

Wang Canghai said with a faint smile: "Then that's right, you don't understand what kind of person Mr. Wang truly is. He was personally trained by me, so this person is far more cautious or clever than you imagine. If I weren't here, then anyone else trying to play tricks against him would basically be done for."

Wang Hu was also baffled; he did recognize Mr. Wang's strength, but right before him was, after all, Wang Canghai.

So Wang Hu instinctively asked: "What about Zhang Lin, then?"

Wang Hu could swear that when he asked this question he had no intention of deliberately needling Wang Canghai, but the speaker meant no harm while the listener took it to heart.

Anyone with half a brain would not have touched Wang Canghai's bottom line, or rather that most sensitive nerve of his; right now Zhang Lin was the person Wang Canghai regarded as a thorn in his eye and a splinter in his flesh.

Even now Wang Canghai was willing to give up everything, as long as he could kill Zhang Lin; this hatred was that intense. He had not expected that Wang Hu would now bring Zhang Lin up to compare with him like this — clearly this was not something Wang Canghai could bear.

So the next moment Wang Canghai said coldly: "This is the first time, and I hope it is the last. Never mention that person in front of me again, understand?!"

Wang Hu was startled; he had not expected that merely mentioning Zhang Lin's name was like touching the other's reverse scale.

In truth, Wang Canghai had never considered that, upon hearing Zhang Lin's name, no matter how angry or hateful he felt inside, he should at least appear calm and composed on the surface.

He used to understand this principle, but now he had been blinded by rage.

Because once he let that anger show on his face, it meant Zhang Lin had indeed caused him great trouble in practical terms, leaving him with no choice in many matters.

If that were the case, then Wang Canghai's own ability was also worth questioning — if it weren't that Wang Hu had already been successfully brainwashed, or rather that he did not want to fall into that self-doubt.

Perhaps at this moment there really would be other choices, because after all he had only just stood on Wang Canghai's side. In fact, if Mr. Wang knew all this, he would surely despise his previous choice even more; he thought Wang Hu was the kind of person who wasn't clever enough, but at least he could analyze the current situation.

But looking at the present, he thought it might as well have been sending a real fool — even someone like Gawa.
