Chapter 2461

~5 min read 894 words

Zhang Lin couldn't help but ask himself the same question over and over in his heart — both reminding them and not reminding them had their drawbacks, so everything depended on his own judgment, and just how strong the pressure-resistance of Kaogudui Erdui really was.

Ever since Kaogudui Erdui came out of Worm Valley, Zhang Lin had been training their ability to act on their own, and this included not only Yang Lu Si but the others as well.

The composition of Kaogudui Erdui was now extremely complex; although the number of capable people had grown, because many of them came from different places, their ability to cooperate had grown steadily worse.

But under Zhang Lin's efforts over the past few days, he had made them aware of this hidden danger within their ranks, and the first to react was Yang Lu Si.

She was always the fastest to grasp Zhang Lin's intentions, and on that basis Zhang Lin could naturally entrust many matters to Yang Lu Si with peace of mind.

But the matter at hand was no small thing, completely different from before — Wang Wang Canghai had his own say over all the tombs, and he was fundamentally different from those Wang family people.

Even if, under his arrangements, Kaogudui Erdui could ultimately turn danger into safety, and Wang Wang Canghai would also stop in time, Zhang Lin still could not guarantee that after this matter was over, Kaogudui Erdui would remain as intact as before.

The more Zhang Lin thought about this, the more troubled he became, but soon he found himself smiling without meaning to, then shook his head and thought to himself, when did he become like this?

Perhaps it was precisely because of that special senior-brother-junior-sister feeling he had toward Yang Lu Si that he had become like this, and faced with such a matter, in the past perhaps the only thing he would have needed to do was one thing.

That was to follow Kaogudui Er's own ideas and keep going, and he would only give a few pointers, not interfere too much — but then on second thought, Zhang Lin felt this reasoning was a bit shameless.

After all, it was he who had led Wang Wang Canghai over to Kaogudui Erdui's side; all of this stemmed from Zhang Lin's own choice, and based on that he had to bear a certain responsibility for Kaogudui Erdui's survival or demise.

Although Zhang Lin could not guarantee that everyone would survive, he also could not only look out for Kaogudui Erdui like before — if, fundamentally speaking, all of this had nothing to do with him,

he wouldn't even need to consider Yang Lu Si's situation, and could simply deal with what came next according to his own ideas.

But reality was not like that. Having thought this through, Zhang Lin slowly nodded, then took out his phone and sent a message to Xue Long's side — just four words: "Be careful with everything."

He suddenly realized that perhaps he didn't need to agonize — maybe from the very start he didn't necessarily have to tell the Kaogudui everything at once; he could just reveal it to them bit by bit.

And right now, for the Kaogudui, as long as they were careful above all, then there would be no problem at all — this was the plan Zhang Lin had thought of at this moment, and he had already determined that only such a plan could help the Kaogudui keep going better.

Between reminding them and not reminding them, there was a fundamental difference — after being reminded, the Kaogudui would certainly be careful everywhere and watch every step, but if the matter was taken too far,

it would actually do them no good at all. All of this made sense now. Right now Zhang Lin had only completed an initial stage and had not thought about what to do next — still the same old saying, take it one step at a time.

And he would also change his plan at any time according to the current direction — this was the habit Zhang Lin had always maintained, and had never changed. Wang Wang Canghai needed to regain his composure.

And Zhang Lin also needed to recover that former self of his — he wanted to explore these secrets, find a hook to tell all the listening book-friends at New Moon Restaurant, and this logic itself had no problem at all.

But if these matters involved not only himself but also others, then Zhang Lin needed to be even more cautious.

He could not, just because of what he himself wanted to do, drag other people's lives down with it — even if that choice was made by the other party of their own accord, Zhang Lin would not lightly let these people pay with their lives.

This also reflected the difference between Zhang Lin and Wang Wang Canghai — if Zhang Lin were truly that cruel, then there would be no fundamental difference between him and Wang Wang Canghai either.

In his view, if it really were like that, then probably Yang Lu Si would not look up to him the way she did either.

Having handled everything, Zhang Lin simply turned off the livestream — nothing too much would happen this night.
