Chapter 2790: Pushing Their Luck? They Don't Deserve It!

After pondering for a moment, Zhang Lin said leisurely, "I know you're still worried about the official side? And whether my side will actually give you a chance? Am I right?"

Mr. Wang took a deep breath. At this point, he got straight to the point—say whatever needed saying, no need to hide or hold back. He understood such a simple truth.

So the next moment, Mr. Wang summoned his courage and said, "That's right, Mr. Zhang. This has indeed been my worry all along. I'm afraid you'll go back on your promise. Even though I trust your character, the official side is absolutely unreliable. I can't hand my people over to them."

Zhang Lin gave a mocking smile and said, "Relax. I never said you'd be at their beck and call. The officials are merely a formality. The ones you truly need to obey are my orders. Saying this much should finally put your mind at ease, right?"

Hearing Zhang Lin's words—which amounted to an indirect promise—sure enough, Mr. Wang let out a long sigh of relief the next moment.

This was exactly the promise Mr. Wang had wanted just now, nothing more. That was why he had felt it would be far too harsh of Zhang Lin to simply hang up the phone at that moment.

But now, with everything turning out well, Mr. Wang could accept it calmly. At least Zhang Lin hadn't kept arguing about the earlier matters with him, and had instead pushed that topic aside.

Then, seeing him discuss the current situation, and Zhang Lin giving a promise right away—what more could he possibly hope for?

This was Zhang Lin's greatest grace, and Mr. Wang firmly believed it. Naturally, in response to such grace, Mr. Wang would repay the kindness.

The next moment, Mr. Wang hurriedly assured him, "Mr. Zhang, just tell me what you need done. I and the Wang family members I lead will absolutely charge ahead without hesitation."

Zhang Lin gave a faint smile. He first glanced at the situation over at Archaeology Team One. Although the atmosphere there was very tense, it hadn't yet reached the point of action. He decided to let things ferment a while longer.

The main purpose was still to make these people recognize the current situation. Zhang Lin had neither the time nor the energy to handle such matters repeatedly.

Under this premise, once something similar happened, he would let the matter ferment endlessly to an extremely extreme situation, and only then step in himself.

At that point, Zhang Lin believed many problems could be resolved, and it would also help their future actions.

Once something similar was about to happen again, whether the instigators or those who suffered passively, they would all recall everything that happened today. At that time, they should understand what the most correct course of action was.

Unless they wanted to invite Zhang Lin's wrath once more, or some other chaotic situation, they had to wholeheartedly follow the original orders. In fact, Zhang Lin was just short of laying the orders out plainly and telling them directly.

It's just that Zhang Lin didn't want to do that yet. On one hand, he worried that Wang Canghai's side would copy the approach, and on the other, he worried other deviations might appear.

Zhang Lin had to take all these things into account. He wasn't the kind of hotheaded fool who charges ahead blindly without thinking—that was never Zhang Lin's style.

And the current situation was the optimal choice Zhang Lin had made. He continued to keep Archaeology Team One in this standoff state, which brought certain benefits for later, and also made Archaeology Team Two completely stable. Of course, before this, Wang Cen had also cleared out the unstable elements within his own team.

The people now remaining in the team could be said to be absolutely loyal to Wang Cen. As long as they carried such loyalty toward Wang Cen, then likewise, they certainly wouldn't harbor any other thoughts regarding Archaeology Team One.

As long as this premise was met, Zhang Lin could be completely at ease. But Fatty was definitely a very unexpected twist—Zhang Lin hadn't expected the other party to pull such a stunt.

But like with Wu Tianzhen, he understood Fatty's intentions were good; only the method was relatively foolish. However, Zhang Lin was not Wu Tianzhen—he had no obligation to indulge Fatty again and again.

In fact, this time, under the premise of letting the Wang family step in directly, he would also use the opportunity to give Fatty a warning, and this kind of warning would absolutely be unforgettable for life.

This was certain. It wasn't that Zhang Lin couldn't tell close from distant, but aside from Yang Lu, no one else had any right to push their luck with him.
