NOVEL NEXT Chapter 314: Proceed to Confirm
So upon hearing Wang Ye's words, Zhao Han immediately knew what had happened.
"So, you have hackers on your side, huh? I was wondering, even if you could guess that Lü Zhouyi had someone backing him, you shouldn't have been able to pinpoint me so quickly," Zhao Han said, and then sat back down in his original seat. It seemed he was recalling past events, so there was a certain aged look between his brows as he spoke to Wang Ye:
"The situation back then was different from the information you had gathered before."
Wang Ye didn't speak, although Zhao Han's attitude just now made Wang Ye trust that what Zhao Han said might very well be true, it didn't mean Wang Ye would blindly believe everything Zhao Han said.
True or false, Wang Ye would judge for himself.
"Back then, because the Wang family expanded too quickly, the other families in Yun City wanted to deal with the Wang family. Among the Yuncheng Four Great Families, there were some who supported the Wang family. So, it was simply impossible for these families alone to take down the Wang family."
"Therefore, those families in Yun City that wanted to deal with the Wang family sought the help of the other three great families of the Taiyuan City Prefecture, hoping they would take action. The rest is more or less as you know."
"But what you understood has a huge gap from what happened afterward!" Zhao Han said, his tone became more serious and solemn as he continued speaking to Wang Ye, "At that time, the Zhao family always wanted to protect the Wang family. Although some in our Zhao family opposed it, fearing the alliance and target from the other three great families, the majority supported the Wang family."
"That includes me!" Zhao Han said with earnest sincerity on his face:
"After all, such a huge Wang family, if it couldn't even protect its own family members, what dignity would there be to continue progressing outside? It's not just about the blood relations among relatives, but also about the honor of the entire family!"
"However, one day, your mother came to me. She said she didn't want to drag the Wang family down anymore. In the current situation, even if the Zhao family firmly stood behind the Wang family, the Wang family wouldn't stir any waves. Instead, it would drag the Zhao family down with it toward destruction," Zhao Han said, appearing to return to the day Wang Ye's mother had come to him, with even the expression on his face turning more sorrowful:
"Your mother wanted me to play the villain, to act in a play. Initially, I didn't want to agree, but ultimately I was persuaded by your mother, hence those clues you heard about came about. Just when the play was about to end, when I went to pick up your parents and the Wang family people, at the arranged place, I saw all your Wang family members taken away by two people using a formation."
At this point, perhaps feeling that the things he spoke of were too absurd, it was difficult for Wang Ye to truly believe him.
After all, he also knew, although he just mentioned having such a world, Wang Ye believed him, but believing what he was currently saying... there was no necessity for that.
Zhao Han sighed, then continued speaking to Wang Ye, "I know, these things I'm telling you, are indeed hard to make you angry, but the truth is indeed so."
"Over these years, I've always been playing this villain. The position of Head of Zhao Family has brought me much enjoyment, but this matter has also always been a knot in my heart."
"If you can believe my words, then believe me, but if you feel that what I just said is too absurd, too hard to believe..."
Zhao Han's expression turned significantly more seasoned as he said this, "then let it be. After all, these things I just mentioned, I'm afraid no one would believe them if I told anyone."
Wang Ye eyed Zhao Han.
Whether from the beginning or now, and in the tone Zhao Han used while speaking, all gave Wang Ye a very sincere feeling.
There was no deception.
But as Zhao Han said, his words indeed made Wang Ye somewhat difficult to trust.
Too absurd!
It felt like telling an ordinary person that we couldn't find your long-missing parents on Earth because they had been taken away by aliens. If you want to find them, you need to go to another planet.
That would definitely be met with fierce criticism.
Wang Ye, greatly skilled in micro-expressions and psychology learned from his master, did not detect any trace of deception from Zhao Han during his observation.
But at Zhao Han's position as Head of Zhao Family, he was already a cunning fox, and in acting, he belonged to the top tier, appearing so sincere.
But what he truly thought in his heart remained uncertain.
Wang Ye did not immediately trust Zhao Han.
Half-believing, half-doubting.
At this moment,
Wang Ye suddenly thought of someone.
His master.
Wang Yifeng.
Considering what Zhao Han had just described about another world's cultivators, how they could greatly enhance their intelligence, perception, and memory through cultivation, thus learning anything quickly, mastering an immense amount of skills.
Wasn't that just like his master?
Otherwise, how could his master master so many things.
He was indeed a monstrous talent.
While Wang Ye thought about this, he didn't consider that Wang Yifeng was indeed a monstrous talent, but the key issue was that Wang Yifeng had taught him all these things, which he had nearly all learned, and he had learned these things much faster than Wang Yifeng.
Wang Ye planned to take a trip back to the mountain.
At this time, the issues at the foot of the mountain could proceed orderly, so even if Wang Ye went back to the mountain for a while, there wouldn't be any problems.
After taking another sip of tea, Wang Ye looked at Wang Yifeng with complex eyes, and in Wang Yifeng's eyes, a mix of emotions also emerged.
"Uncle's words, though I'm still skeptical, during the time I spent with you, Uncle, I could feel the sincerity in the words you spoke," Wang Ye spoke earnestly, the word "Uncle" bringing a change in the usually dim expressions in Zhao Han's eyes.
Wang Ye's calling him "Uncle."
Represented a kind of recognition.
"Next, I need some time to investigate alone before making a decision."
