Chapter 2746: Wouldn't I Have Thought of What You Can Think Of?

~7 min read 1,252 words

In other words, no matter what happens, they will continue forward according to their own ideas, absolutely unaffected by the other team—this is the brilliance of Mr. Wang's arrangement, and it has now begun to show results.

So at this moment, Mr. Wang knew Zhang Lin was very anxious, so he could not hesitate any longer; on Zhang Lin's end, something like a phone was picked up as well.

Then he heard Mr. Wang report the situation in one breath, and Zhang Lin subconsciously nodded, feeling it was pretty much what he had guessed.

What he had thought of before was a similar situation, and Mr. Wang's side, full of apology, said: "I'm sorry, Mr. Zhang, it's my people who didn't use their brains—otherwise this kind of thing wouldn't have happened!"

Zhang Lin smiled faintly, then said: "You don't need to say it like that either. You can't blame him entirely for all of this. Sometimes it really is necessary to prove one's own strength, so that Archaeology Team One sees all of this—that's no problem at all."

Actually, Zhang Lin didn't used to think this way before. The key is that Fatty's current situation is just too bizarre, so before this, Fang actually verified his own strength very clearly, which should bring no harm whatsoever to their subsequent itinerary—this is Zhang Lin's true thinking.

Based on this thinking, Zhang Lin was very clear on how to arrange Archaeology Team One's next actions, and at the same time Wu Ya was now striving hard for this time, letting Fatty be able to come to his senses.

At first, what Zhang Lin thought was: if Fatty continued to be obstinately wrong, then the choice Zhang Lin would make next was to step out himself, then talk directly with Fatty. Although that could twist Fatty's thinking back, it would cause an enormous deviation to the subsequent matters.

Unless absolutely necessary, Zhang Lin truly did not want to make that kind of choice, and now there was another method placed before Zhang Lin—that was to have the Wang family people step out in time.

So just as Mr. Wang was about to speak, Zhang Lin continued: "Have your people hold their position first, and wait for my orders!"

Mr. Wang couldn't help but be stunned. He had thought that with the archaeology team in such a tense standoff now, having his people step out first could still play a role in smoothing things over. This time Mr. Wang didn't think much and directly spoke out his own idea.

"Mr. Zhang, is it that you want my people to step out directly and mediate in the middle? Now, if there's no third party mediating in between, it's hard to say whether Archaeology Team One's atmosphere will become even more extreme."

Hearing this, Zhang Lin gave a light laugh, then immediately said: "Could it be that you think I hadn't even thought of this?"

Hearing this on the phone, Mr. Wang on the other end was very alarmed. He had never expected himself to have said those words just now, and at the same time slapped his forehead and hurriedly explained: "Mr. Zhang, I didn't mean that."

Hearing the other side about to express that so-called apology again, Zhang Lin immediately said: "Enough, I understand you meant well. I don't blame you. You just need to remember to continue acting according to my orders—other matters you don't need to worry about."

Hearing such an instruction, Mr. Wang nodded like a pestle pounding garlic. For him, this was the greatest grace—at least he could continue along this path without having to live in constant fear.

For Mr. Wang, what he feared most was clearly seeing those opportunities right before his eyes yet being unable to grasp them no matter what.

There was also another point: Zhang Lin had clearly given him the corresponding promise before, but if on top of this baseline, Zhang Lin kept not issuing orders, and instead let the people he had sent out fend for themselves, under such circumstances Mr. Wang would also become jumpy at every shadow.

Because in his view, that simply didn't follow logic. Zhang Lin had gone through all this trouble for so long—he must want to see some concrete results. If he only wanted to toy with the Wang family, there was absolutely no need to go through all this trouble. This was another reason Mr. Wang was so confident.

If only Wang Hu could see this one point among them, he wouldn't have clung to that foolish idea and followed Wang Canghai to his death. And after Mr. Wang received the order, the phone was hung up directly, and he instead breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, a person beside him slightly frowned, then stepped forward one pace. There was one matter he had thought about for a long time before. Seeing Mr. Wang's brows tightly knit, he knew that bringing it up would surely invite the other's scolding, so he did not choose to bring up those matters at an inopportune time.

But now seeing the other's mood had improved quite a bit, he felt greatly reassured, and immediately said: "Mr. Wang, I think can we now return to headquarters? No matter who wants to threaten the Wang family, as long as Mr. Zhang's side chooses to protect us, then we can rest easy, right?"

Hearing this, Mr. Wang was immediately stunned, while the person who had raised this suggestion hurriedly retreated two steps. Although he could set his heart at ease, if Mr. Wang truly was capricious and chose to throw a tantrum, he would also feel very wronged.

Therefore, after saying these words now he quickly dodged away. But this time he really was overthinking—as could be seen from Mr. Wang's expression. Right now Mr. Wang felt the other had said nothing wrong at all.

Because reality truly was exactly this: the most dangerous place was the safest. Earlier, a flash of inspiration had indeed crossed Mr. Wang's mind about this kind of thing, but at the first moment he had rejected this impractical idea.

Because at that time Zhang Lin had not yet taken in the Wang family, had not chosen to give them a chance, but now the chance was right before his eyes, and Mr. Wang had also seized it with his own method—so what was there still to worry about?

He could completely return the same way and do what he wanted to do, instead of being timid and hesitant as he was now, far from home.

They were about to reach international waters any moment now—this was definitely not the result Mr. Wang had wanted from the start. Having figured all this out, Mr. Wang angrily slapped the table. Some things are just like this: once you learn that answer, all the logic falls into place, and he would also give himself a very satisfying answer in his heart.

Once this kind of understanding was established, the subsequent matters became very simple. So he looked at the vast, boundless sea before him, finally steeled this resolve, and ordered: "Right now, immediately have the ship turn around—we're going back."

Hearing these words, his trusted subordinate was immediately overjoyed, because he truly felt that his suggestion was not shot in the dark, nor was he unwilling to endure the hardship of drifting—it's just that he felt choosing to flee in panic at the slightest word held no real meaning.
