Chapter 2819: Total Annihilation! Only to Make a Wedding Gown for Someone Else?

~7 min read 1,374 words

Mr. Wang thought to himself that if Zhang Lin truly knew about this matter, then he would certainly be able to find certain loopholes.

And among those loopholes, Wang Wang Canghai could use all sorts of methods to pry open Zhang Lin's mouth.

At first Wang Wang Canghai did think this way, but when he finally lost to Zhang Lin, when he was even left so battered and bruised, Wang Wang Canghai understood that he simply had no right to think that way at all.

All he needed to do was quietly obey Zhang Lin's arrangements.

But thinking it over and over, Wang Wang Canghai still felt unwilling to accept it; at that moment he had actually already planned to submit to Zhang Lin.

But Zhang Lin still did not single-mindedly use a conciliatory approach against him; instead he spoke harsh words again, and Wang Wang Canghai did not even realize that Zhang Lin was deliberately toying with him.

If Zhang Lin truly wanted to win his heart in some way, then based on the thinking of a true overlord, he should have understood that he absolutely must not touch his so-called reverse scale again.

Wang Wang Canghai's reverse scale lay in everything he had arranged; this was also the wound in his heart that he could least bear to have uncovered.

And Zhang Lin, over and over, kept uncovering these wounds, using precisely this method to tell Wang Wang Canghai that, in truth, whatever choice the other party made, Zhang Lin simply did not care.

It was nothing more than one choice, and faced with such a choice, Zhang Lin had far too many ways to respond.

So Wang Wang Canghai need not think himself important, nor believe that he could threaten Zhang Lin in this way—Zhang Lin was using these bloody, brutal facts to tell Wang Wang Canghai exactly that.

Just how utterly insignificant he was!

And the very point of Wang Wang Canghai's anger lay precisely here: he did not believe himself worthless, and even thought his worth far exceeded that of many people—at the very least, far, far more than Mr. Wang's.

But Zhang Lin at this moment simply did not think so. He believed Mr. Wang's worth was far higher, that he controlled the hearts of all the people in the entire Wang family. As long as the Wang family members did not know that Wang Wang Canghai was still alive, then most of those Wang family members would not rebel, but would quietly watch all of this unfold.

Earlier, when Zhang Lin called Mr. Wang, the two were of one mind on this. He hoped Mr. Wang could carry out a thorough purge within the Wang family in advance. If Mr. Wang himself proposed this matter, that was one thing.

But if this matter was deliberately arranged by Zhang Lin, that was quite another.

If Mr. Wang arranged all of this himself, he would not hesitate at all, because once it was done, all he needed to do was burn his bridges and press forward, arranging everything that came after—succeed or die in the attempt.

But if he obeyed Zhang Lin, in the end he might simply be making a wedding gown for someone else: he would have burned all the Wang family people and gained nothing of value in return.

He was not afraid of death, and most of the Wang family were not afraid of death either. But if in the end everything they fought for only added glory to someone else—especially the authorities—then that kind of humiliation would be harder to bear than death itself. This was what weighed most heavily on Mr. Wang's heart.

But Zhang Lin had already given him assurances. After hearing these assurances, Mr. Wang could not help but sigh continuously, secretly grumbling to himself about whether these things could actually be realized. As time went on, Mr. Wang wavered back and forth in his heart, feeling that these things were not realistic.

In fact, his starting point was very simple. First of all, Zhang Lin's so-called promises seemed to have no practical meaning whatsoever, because Zhang Lin had already done so much. Past, present, and future—everything was controlled in Zhang Lin's hands. Since that was the case, then the Wang family was absolutely insignificant to Zhang Lin.

He did not even care about Wang Wang Canghai, so why did Zhang Lin always use all kinds of methods to try to win over the Wang family? This was also what Wang Wang Canghai could not understand most. Since even Wang Wang Canghai could not figure it out, there was no need to mention the current Mr. Wang.

He did not understand either, but amid the disadvantage, a trace of expectation stirred faintly in his heart. He felt that since such a thing had already come about, he might as well let it continue to go wrong.

Some things being laid out before one's eyes is one matter, but actually carrying them out is another. Mr. Wang felt that he had already been extremely unlucky.

In this past month, he had gone from the peak to hell; the whole person was utterly exhausted. And the matter of Wang Wang Canghai wanting to kill him—Mr. Wang had never, ever anticipated that.

Although he had foreseen the matter at the time, his heart was still filled with shock. In other words, Mr. Wang did not feel he had lost his value; on the contrary, he felt he could still create a great deal of residual value for Wang Wang Canghai. But it was precisely this kind of thinking that harmed himself in the end, and harmed others as well.

Now Mr. Wang could only choose to wander. But Zhang Lin's words were already laid out before him, telling him he could do all these things according to his own ideas—and that was everything. Meanwhile, looking at Archaeology Team One at this moment—

No matter what was happening on Mr. Wang's side, they certainly did not know. Right now, before waiting for another group of Wang family people to appear, the efforts Zhang Lin had made were precisely because of this. He had already arranged everything, so that when this group appeared, they would definitely receive the corresponding guidance at the first moment, because Zhang Lin had not only made arrangements on Mr. Wang's side earlier.

First of all, he had given Archaeology Team One a preventive shot, telling them that someone would enter this team and complete everything. Given that Zhang Lin had made explanations in advance regarding this matter itself—

If Archaeology Team One still failed to appreciate it, then Zhang Lin would truly get angry.

This was absolutely not a joke. Having made so many efforts, Zhang Lin was entirely laying the corresponding foundation for the archaeology team, and at the same time Zhang Lin also realized that his subsequent arrangements would inevitably favor one side over the other.

No matter how quickly this matter happened, or what was experienced throughout the entire process, in the end his priority was protecting Archaeology Team Two.

And Archaeology Team One's combat strength was far greater than Archaeology Team Two's, so having all sorts of random people mixed into their team would affect the overall rhythm. But in the final analysis, as long as the trio was still there, and with Wu Ya able to solve so very, very many problems—

The key was that this matter still had potential to speak of. If there had been no undersea tomb matter, then Zhang Lin would not have been so reassured in leaving everything to them. But now the undersea tomb matter was still fresh in everyone's mind.

In that kind of desperate situation, they were able to turn the tables. It was certainly because Zhang Lin had told them the corresponding methods of operation, but this kind of method also depended on who carried it out.

As long as they had any brains at all, they could copy the model. But during the process, many details deviated, and mistakes caused by individual ability were enough to bring about their total annihilation.

Yet Archaeology Team One handled everything this time in an extremely perfect manner.
