Chapter 198 Zhang Rishan: I understand
Zhang Rishan felt something was wrong today.
Mingming's life was still the same as before, just sitting in the VIP room of the Crescent Hotel, drinking tea and reading, occasionally drinking a little wine, and chatting about gossip with Yin Yatou.
I don't know why, but I feel particularly uneasy and always feel that something bad will happen today.
This feeling of being on edge made Zhang Rishan frown. After thinking for a while, he realized that he had been staying here to enjoy his retirement recently and hadn't provoked anyone. It was unlikely that anyone would want to harm him.
For some reason, Zhang Rishan could only suppress his uneasiness in his heart and wait and see what would happen.
In fact, he has not been living a very peaceful life recently. He always feels a looming sense of crisis around him, but it is particularly strong today.
Calculating the time, it should have started when the Zhang family gathered around Zhang Qiling again.
When Zhang Rishan first learned that another member of the Zhang family had gone to the patriarch, his first reaction was to send them a message and ask them to leave quickly.
It was really because he was scared by the mad dog-like appearance of those people in the Wang family over the years. Anyone who jumped out into the open and held up the banner and wanted to follow the patriarch to rebuild the family was killed by those mad dogs, and no one could stay for long.
Although Zhang Qishan had taken them away from the family a long time ago, wanting to go out and work hard to establish his own sect, and had even fought against the old antiques in the family, all that was history.
Out of consideration for the blood ties, Zhang Rishan did not want to see his family members being captured or killed by the Wang family. Whenever he was able, he would take care of them and help out.
After some days of secret observation, Zhang Rishan discovered that all the Zhang family members who came to find Zhang Qiling this time were highly skilled in martial arts and quite extraordinary. There was no need to worry about this group of people being captured by the Wang family.
The Wang family members who attacked would be arrested and tortured even if they went to monitor them, let alone take action. Under such circumstances, Zhang Qiling didn't even realize that his life was a little too dull.
The Zhang family members surrounding Zhang Qiling this time were basically unknown, with no trace of their past or origins, as if they had popped out from between rocks.
He had only heard of one of them, who seemed to be a master of metaphysics who had become famous in the aristocratic circle in the past two years.
Zhang Rishan thought of the man who called himself Zhang Moyu. He had been traveling all over the country in the past two years, staying in each city for no more than seven days. He was often missing and seemed to like going into the deep mountains and forests where few people had been. Suddenly, he had some understanding in his mind.
He understood, and when he put everything together, there was nothing he couldn't understand!
This group of Zhang family members are all very powerful and arrogant. They must be the backup plan that the Qilin Zhang family has laid out long ago in order to continue the family just in case!
And this person named Zhang Moyu is the main person in charge of this back-up plan.
It must be because the Zhang family is falling apart. Zhang Qiling, the only patriarch who can lead the Zhang family to rise, is too naive and looks useless, and the family's revival is nowhere in sight.
These people who hid the deepest finally couldn't bear it anymore and had to come out to help Zhang Qiling, the patriarch who had been "wandering among the people" and was almost ruined.
The reason why Zhang Moyu wandered around and spread his reputation before was definitely because he wanted to quickly find Zhang Qiling, the clan leader who liked to go wherever there was danger!
However, he was unlucky and had never met them due to some strange combination of circumstances. The clan leader, who was always on the road of amnesia and searching for memory, did not remember them at all, which eventually led to the two parties taking two years to recognize each other.
The more Zhang Rishan thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case.
After all, the Zhang family is a thousand-year-old family with strict family rules and regulations. They also have a sacred object like Qilin blood. Even if there are endless internal conflicts within the family and external enemies are eyeing them covetously, it is impossible for them to fall so easily.
Although the Zhang family's division seemed extremely real at the time, and the sense of insecurity among the family members was real, the reactions of all parties were understandable.
But the more reasonable some things seem on the surface, the more people want to ponder them and explore whether there is any other truth behind them.
Zhang Rishan has not forgotten that the children of their Zhang family have been required to be "multi-talented" since they were young. Moreover, because they have been naughty and trouble-making since childhood, afraid of being scolded, have strong self-esteem, and like to show off, everyone has acting skills comparable to that of a movie emperor.
He now has some doubts about whether the disintegration of the Zhang family is fake.
It is not necessary for everyone to be an actor. As long as 30% of the people, plus senior executives in high positions acting, can easily get the pace going.
There were too many strange things that happened back then, and the family fell too quickly. He didn't believe that there was no one within the family who was leading and planning all of this.
He felt that it was very likely that the top leaders of the Zhang family at that time had foresight and realized that the technology introduced from the West would be a broad road suitable for ordinary people, and that science and technology would continue to advance. They predicted that in the prosperous future, their family would no longer have anywhere to hide and would have to emerge into the public eye.
Rather than being passively dug out by ordinary people and being inferior to others for no reason, it would be better to take advantage of the moment when the Wang family points their guns at them, create the illusion that the Zhang family is falling apart, and then break it up into small pieces and hide among ordinary people.
The fact that the family's bloodline was gradually being diluted was not unnoticed. With the support of the Wang family, a family that loved to jump around and had the same special bloodline, as long as they could hide for a few hundred years.
When the influence of blood becomes negligible and life expectancy drops to an ordinary level, we can then gather the clan members back and rebuild the family, and we will be able to safely survive a major social change.
Such an ingenious calculation is simply beyond words!
Zhang Rishan shook his head, feeling a little tired. He rubbed his eyebrows and felt that using his brain was not suitable for him.
I miss the days when I followed behind Big Buddha and just followed him mindlessly.
He still remembered that when Master Buddha passed away, he specifically asked him to take good care of the Yin family, help look after the Crescent Hotel, and not to show off.
He knew that this was the escape route arranged for him by the Buddha, so he stayed obediently in the Crescent Hotel and never took a single step out, for fear that he might not be smart enough and someone would take advantage of him.
If I get into trouble again now, no one will take the blame for me.
Zhang Rishan looked at the warmth and harmony that the Zhang family members had been getting along with each other these days, and it would be a lie to say that he was not envious.
In fact, he also thought about whether he should follow Zhang Qiling together, use the power of the Crescent Hotel to help the Zhang family, and become a good person who would add icing on the cake.
After all, being a lonely person is really tiring.
But thinking about how he had once followed the Buddha and plotted to deceive Zhang Qiling, Zhang Rishan always felt a little ashamed to face Zhang Qiling, so he withdrew all the people he had sent out, thinking that it would be better to let nature take its course.
