Chapter 2769: How Did I End Up With Such An Idiot! Truly Helpless!

As one can imagine, even Wang Wang Canghai himself couldn't stand Wang Hu's stupidity anymore, which was proof enough that neither Mr. Wang nor Zhang Lin was wrong in their thinking.

It's just that Zhang Lin didn't pay too much attention to this Wang Hu — he only wanted to blind the man's heart, nothing more; afterward, even if he didn't make a move himself, Mr. Wang would.

But looking at the current situation, none of them needed to make a move at all; given how things stood, Wang Hu should reach the Second Archaeology Team very soon.

It wouldn't be long before he became the kind of cannon fodder Zhang Lin had described, and then, while one couldn't say all matters were settled, at the very least it would let everyone see just how cruel the reality of the situation truly was.

That was precisely the outcome Zhang Lin wanted — to let Wang Hu understand that some things simply weren't what he imagined.

If he remained so naively stubborn and foolish, then in the end he certainly wouldn't meet a good end. The reason Zhang Lin had been pressing him step by step was ultimately to make Wang Wang Canghai speak the truth himself; of course, if in the end Wang Wang Canghai still couldn't see things clearly, Zhang Lin would change all the plans he had previously set.

This change of plans didn't mean every detail had to be altered — the key was the macro-level things, and these matters didn't need to be worried over too much.

Because from the very beginning Zhang Lin had set two safety valves on this kind of plan; he could look after both ends and handle everything properly, and that was what mattered most.

In other words, if Wang Wang Canghai took this path, as long as he told Zhang Lin these things, Zhang Lin could fulfill his promise within the permitted scope, rather than going back on his word.

In other words, Zhang Lin had no intention of using such a method to lure or deceive Wang Wang Canghai into anything; he genuinely wanted to exchange conditions with Wang Wang Canghai, but in the final analysis, whether Wang Wang Canghai appreciated it depended entirely on how he himself thought about it.

However, there was one point that both Zhang Lin and Wang Wang Canghai were quite certain of — the opportunity before and the opportunity shaped afterward were fundamentally different, and the consequences this difference would lead to down the line were truly very far-reaching; so if Wang Wang Canghai made his choice, what he could gain would also be far less than at the start.

It all depended on how Wang Wang Canghai himself thought about it.

If he felt he could still control everything, naturally he wouldn't make that kind of choice; or rather, he certainly wouldn't care about all those messy matters, and would still try to keep everything in his own hands.

This was Wang Wang Canghai's long-standing habit — even though Zhang Lin Has Already been so aggressive, he hadn't let this habit of his change in the slightest.

But although such things could stall Zhang Lin's steps, it was only for an instant; afterward Zhang Lin had many ways to respond.

It's just that these people themselves didn't realize it and still clung to their little schemes, wanting to keep fighting Zhang Lin, unaware that all their petty calculations were within Zhang Lin's predictions — he simply hadn't deliberately exposed them.

Looking at Wang Hu at this moment, he kept sizing up Wang Wang Canghai from time to time, and naturally this gaze was noticed by the other party.

The next moment Wang Wang Canghai smiled, shook his head and said: "I was just asking how far we still have to go; there's no need to rush now — at the very least wait until Zhang Lin has entered the New Moon Restaurant, then we'll go into where the Second Archaeology Team is."

Wang Wang Canghai had now made up his mind completely, determined to play a round with Zhang Lin; since that was the case, Wang Wang Canghai told himself he absolutely had to maintain that instinctive caution.

If he even lost that caution, his own understanding was also very clear — at that point there wouldn't be the slightest chance left to turn things around.
