In Mr Wang’s resurfaced video, he said, “The God of Hell wanted me to die at three o’clock, but I went at two, just to leave a good impression on my boss.”
“I have achieved nothing in my life and I have just been a regular official. I can’t find the treasure in this life, so I’m just playing tricks on the devil,” he added.
