Chapter 2751: The Deadly Busy Tone! My Mental State Is About to Explode!

~7 min read 1,278 words

On this premise, Zhang Lin felt that if Mr. Wang was being too eager about this matter, then this person definitely had a problem.

This was also because Mr. Wang was constantly on the run now; in Zhang Lin's thinking, Mr. Wang should find a place to stop, or even turn back the way he came, and there would be nothing wrong with that.

Because he had already reached this kind of cooperation with him, and under the blessing of this cooperative relationship, he would naturally keep the other party safe.

Looking at it the other way, Mr. Wang had not made such a choice. Under this premise there were only two possibilities: either Mr. Wang had no sincerity whatsoever about this cooperation, and was thinking of finding a chance to turn traitor and betray Zhang Lin, so as to fight for more benefits.

Or Mr. Wang had simply never trusted Zhang Lin in the first place; although he didn't want to turn traitor, at the same time he didn't believe Zhang Lin could fulfill his promises, so he had to seek his own chances.

As for this cooperation itself, it had only given the Wang family a breather; once that breath was caught, that was when Wang Wang Canghai was taken out, and Zhang Lin couldn't be sure he really would make a comeback and put them in a situation where they had no choice again.

He was now preparing for exactly this kind of thing. These two possibilities seemed to point in different directions, with completely different starting points, but no matter which one it was, it was not something Zhang Lin could accept.

The only outcome Zhang Lin could acknowledge, or rather the posture he had Mr. Wang put on, was complete trust in himself; only when this premise was met would he truly let the Wang family rest easy, and Zhang Lin thought the other party shouldn't carry that kind of overthinking attitude.

If before this he hadn't made his feelings very clear, the other party's hesitation would be forgivable, but he had already expressed his attitude so plainly—what was there left to doubt?

So the things that followed were purely a question of human nature. Zhang Lin had never been willing to use some unreliable method to test human nature, because he understood human nature very well: this thing, fundamentally speaking, simply could not withstand any test.

So he didn't want to make that kind of choice, but Zhang Lin could use all sorts of methods to keep probing the other party—probing itself was a completely different matter from testing human nature.

This so-called probing only came from this one cooperation, and had nothing to do with the other party's human nature. As long as Mr. Wang was a smart person, he could see through the phenomenon to the essence: this cooperation was never built on a foundation of trust to begin with.

And Zhang Lin knew this better than anyone—most cooperations were actually like this. Insistently emphasizing trust, and that person definitely has a problem; Zhang Lin wholeheartedly agreed with this view.

Since that was the case, he couldn't possibly hold some fool's naive idea and think about everything that came next. Zhang Lin would handle the remaining matters with the most even-handed attitude, including the choices made by Xue Long and the others; Zhang Lin would definitely intervene in it as well.

So Mr. Wang now was the same in Zhang Lin's eyes—he was simply overthinking it, and now he was calling him again. For Zhang Lin, this was truly the other party being too thoughtless, though Zhang Lin's overall judgment this time had not gone wrong.

But in the details there was still some deviation, and the reason was very simple: Mr. Wang was exactly as Zhang Lin had thought—he wanted to take a step back, rather than keep stubbornly going down the wrong path. This was something Zhang Lin hadn't expected from the start.

He felt that if Mr. Wang were even a little smart, he might have made this choice long ago, but the other party ultimately chose another path, which basically meant Mr. Wang was already beyond saving at this level.

It wasn't that Zhang Lin still valued the Wang family's abilities, and Shen Qiong had given him a different answer. Under this premise, Zhang Lin wanted to borrow their strength to complete the follow-up matters; otherwise he absolutely would not have given Mr. Wang such a chance.

You have to know that although cooperating with Zhang Lin didn't require building that cooperation on a foundation of trust, if during the cooperation one kept scheming to cause all kinds of trouble, then Zhang Lin would absolutely not tolerate it. He also believed that anyone who saw this point would immediately choose to step in and intervene, even call off the original cooperation.

Zhang Lin was just this simple a person. Although he had discussed the issue of trust with these partners of his, and let them trust him, if the other party really didn't believe him he wouldn't force it—but if the other party still chose to look ahead and behind,

and the orders he gave were not carried out right away, but instead questioned over and over, then Zhang Lin would unhesitatingly abandon this cooperation. He had already had this confirmed before, so others were hardly surprised by this kind of thing anymore.

But thinking to here, Zhang Lin couldn't help but be stunned. He thought, since most people understood this principle, no matter how critical the situation was for Mr. Wang now, or how crazed his thinking, he couldn't possibly keep using this way to think about the problem. If he really thought this way, then this person could basically be considered to have not truly betrayed Wang Canghai.

Having figured this out, Zhang Lin immediately picked up the phone. Just now Zhang Lin hadn't planned to answer this call, because doing so would give Mr. Wang too much face. If this call had been made under reasonable circumstances, Zhang Lin would of course have picked up, but right now it was completely not like that.

After all, just one minute ago, Zhang Lin had already issued all his orders, and told Mr. Wang that he only needed to act according to the orders. He had made it so clear—if the other party still couldn't understand, then he couldn't blame Zhang Lin for getting angry.

The emotion he wanted to express was very simple: he wanted to use this way to make the other party clearly understand that trusting him would certainly yield the due reward; if he chose not to trust, then relatively speaking, he could still escape with his life in the end, except that at that point the returns Zhang Lin gave him would be very, very small.

Faced with this situation, the other party probably wouldn't be willing to accept it either. Of course, some truly despicable people would absolutely push such a thing onto Zhang Lin, but honestly Zhang Lin didn't care about this at all. He also believed that despicable things would always exist, and would keep emerging endlessly.

Because human nature was just like that. This wasn't Zhang Lin deliberately magnifying the evil of human nature; it was just that some people had truly walked down a dead end, like Wang Canghai now.

Looking at Zhang Lin at this moment, his thinking had changed, so he immediately picked up the phone. In fact, on Mr. Wang's end his heart had already started to lose confidence, and the sound of the phone connecting rang out one after another.
