Chapter 3018

Perhaps precisely because of that special feeling between senior and junior disciples like Yang Lu and himself, he had become the way he was now, and faced with such a matter, in the past perhaps the only thing he would have needed to do was one thing.

That was to follow along with whatever Kaogudui No. 2 thought, and he would only give a few pointers, not interfere too much; but on second thought, Zhang Lin felt this reasoning was a bit shameless.

After all, it was he who had led Wang Canghai over to Kaogudui No. 2's side; all of this stemmed from Zhang Lin's choice, and based on this point he had to bear a certain responsibility for Kaogudui No. 2's survival.

Although Zhang Lin could not guarantee that everyone would survive, he also could not only look out for Kaogudui No. 2 like before; if one were to say that all of this fundamentally had nothing to do with him—

—then he wouldn't even need to consider Yang Lu's situation, and could simply deal with what came next according to his own ideas.

But reality was not like that. Having thought this through, Zhang Lin slowly nodded, then took out his phone and sent a message to Xue Long's side, just four words: "Be careful with everything."

He suddenly realized that perhaps he didn't need to agonize over it; maybe from the very start he didn't necessarily have to tell the Kaogudui Society everything all at once—he could just reveal it to them bit by bit.

And for the Kaogudui Society right now, as long as they were careful above all else, then there would be no problem at all. This was the plan Zhang Lin had thought of at this moment, and he had already determined that only such a plan could help the Kaogudui Society move forward better.

Between reminding and not reminding, there existed a fundamental difference. After being reminded, the Kaogudui Society would certainly be careful everywhere and watchful at every step, but if the matter was taken too far—

—it would actually do them no good at all. All of this made sense now. Right now Zhang Lin had only reached an initial stage, and had not yet thought about what the next step needed to be—still the same old saying, take it one step at a time.

And he would also change his plan at any time according to the current direction. This was the habit Zhang Lin had always maintained, and had never changed. Wang Canghai needed to regain his composure.

And Zhang Lin also needed to find that former self of his. He wanted to explore these secrets, find a hook to tell all the listening readers at Crescent Moon Restaurant—on the face of it, this logic had no problem at all.

But if these matters involved not only himself, but also others, then Zhang Lin would need to be even more cautious.

He could not, just because of what he himself wanted to do, drag other people's lives down with him; even if that choice was made by the other party of their own accord, Zhang Lin would not lightly let these people pay with their lives.

This also reflected the difference between Zhang Lin and Wang Canghai. If Zhang Lin were truly that cruel, then there would be no essential difference between him and Wang Canghai either.

In his view, if it really were like that, then probably Yang Lu would not revere him so highly either.

Having settled everything, Zhang Lin simply turned off the livestream; this night would not see too many things happen.
