Chapter 3355: So-Called Feng Shui Master! Nothing but a Joke!

"In other words, you're saying that if you had gone to investigate and discovered from the very beginning that Wang Canghai was that scheming, underhanded villain, and at that time you chose to endure it because you wanted to seize the power of the Wang family, then I could understand. But instead you showed Wang Canghai a kind of loyalty, even fanaticism. Can you tell me why?"

Hearing this question, Mr. Wang's last trace of tension vanished, and he even smiled faintly.

Because this question was simply too easy for him to answer. Even if the other party was digging a pit for him, he wasn't afraid; he would absolutely tell the truth, because some things were entirely reasonable, and no one who heard them could find a single fault.

This was the answer to the question at hand, so Mr. Wang said without hesitation: "Actually, Mr. Zhang, some things follow very simple logic. I think you've already guessed it. In the end, it was simply youthful ignorance — I didn't understand at all what true good and evil meant, so I made that choice!"

Zhang Lin shook his head helplessly, tapping his forehead lightly with his index finger, thinking that from the very beginning Mr. Wang had been no different from all those other people — he had been obsessed with the so-called power of Wang Canghai, and so had chosen that loyalty.

To be honest, Zhang Lin was somewhat disappointed. He had originally assumed Mr. Wang would be a relatively special existence, because after all Wang Canghai had had many choices at the start, but choosing him specifically must have had some reason.

So now Zhang Lin finally understood that Wang Canghai's choice was no different from the choice King Wannu had made back then!

Back then, King Wannu simply didn't want to choose the smartest people, fearing that once such people were promoted, they would turn against him.

So at that time he chose Wang Canghai. In other words, three hundred years ago it absolutely was not as recorded in those unofficial histories of feng shui — that Wang Canghai was the foremost feng shui master.

All of this was later fabricated by Wang Canghai himself. He hoped he could leave his name in history for feng shui, so he altered these things. But reality is reality, and at least Zhang Lin guessed this point correctly.

At the same time, tonight at the New Moon Restaurant, Zhang Lin would also unhesitatingly pass this piece of information on to everyone — he wanted to expose Wang Canghai's fraud!

Some might think that bringing this up now is of no consequence, but only he himself knew that what Wang Canghai least wanted to hear right now was precisely this, and afterward the other party's mindset would undergo that kind of chaotic shift. That was the result Zhang Lin truly wanted.

Once this deviation reached that degree, Zhang Lin could naturally seize the opportunity to settle some matters.

Looking back at Mr. Wang at this moment, after answering all this Mr. Wang believed that no matter what Zhang Lin had picked up on, it would have no effect whatsoever on his subsequent affairs.

Mr. Wang's guess on this point was correct. Zhang Lin was disappointed, to be sure, but at that time Mr. Wang also couldn't make a subjective choice — he was being passively manipulated by Wang Canghai. All of this was simply Mr. Wang's helplessness.

But possessing such power was something he had long yearned for, and even today he still refused to let go. Part of it might indeed be because of the Wang family's survival, but there was another part of the reason.

It was absolutely because Mr. Wang himself also liked this kind of power. In fact, this point is perfectly understandable — no one dislikes power. Everyone wavers when faced with such authority and influence; that is human nature.

Those who can truly regard power and wealth as passing clouds are few and far between, and among them most are people who once possessed all of it, which is why they can look upon all these things with such calm detachment. If they had never possessed it, they would absolutely be blinded by the power before their eyes.

Fortunately, up until today Mr. Wang has been able to maintain that last shred of reason. If he had believed that as the Wang family's controller he could manipulate everything,

and then no matter what orders Wang Canghai issued, he had assumed the other party could be invincible, then the Wang family would truly not be far from destruction. Fortunately, none of this happened.

At the same time, Mr. Wang now also felt quite fortunate that he had not made that foolish choice. But even taking a step back, no matter the circumstances, Mr. Wang was not that kind of person.

Fools have a fool's way of thinking; smart people naturally have a smart person's thoughts. Relatively speaking, Mr. Wang could still be considered a smart person, which is also why Zhang Lin would talk with him for so long.

And the next moment, before Zhang Lin could speak, Mr. Wang asked first: "Mr. Zhang, are you asking me to have my people come out first? The situation with Archaeology Team One seems very dangerous right now." This time he used a probing tone — Mr. Wang did not want to overstep his authority.
