Chapter 3118: The Only Demand? The Other Party's Eyes Full of Contempt!

As long as Wang Wang Canghai cannot find anyone usable, he cannot possibly stir up any more trouble. Zhang Lin carried this idea through with great clarity, and at the same time he made Wu Ya and Xue Long fully aware of this point.

Earlier, when Xue Long learned that Wang Wang Canghai was heading to the second archaeological team, a fear he could not suppress welled up inside him. This does not mean Xue Long had no intention of helping Zhang Lin.

Nor was it that his initial surrender to Zhang Lin was merely to deceive the other party. All of this came from Xue Long's instinctive reaction. Anyone who has been exploited by a person for a long time, and who carries that uncontrollable fear—

once they leave that person or choose to betray them, and then see that person appear again, that fear will surge back into their heart. This is certain.

This is also Wang Wang Canghai's greatest confidence: that he can control people's hearts, and can make those hearts submit to him forever.

But he never in his wildest dreams imagined he would run into a Zhang Lin. This caused all the hearts Wang Wang Canghai had thought he controlled to slip from his grasp in an instant.

Regarding this point, Wang Wang Canghai absolutely refused to accept it, but the situation had already reached this stage, leaving him no choice but to believe it.

Looking at the present, Wang Wang Canghai said directly: "Wang Hu, is it? I have no other demands now. Take your phone and call your Mr. Wang for me. Have him speak with me. I have business with him."

Wang Hu, upon hearing these words, was somewhat at a loss between laughter and tears. At this moment, he finally figured out what the other party's true purpose was. The direct words were certainly his aim, and contacting Mr. Wang was also part of it.

But if this person was sent by the officials to contact Mr. Wang, then it only proves one thing: contacting the other party in such a private manner means he wants to bypass Zhang Lin and reach a corresponding cooperation with the Wang family.

At the beginning he did not mention Zhang Lin because in his view, Zhang Lin was merely dispatched by the officials. But at this moment Wang Hu instantly realized that things were not at all as he had imagined.

Or rather, the rumors outside were not wrong in the slightest. Zhang Lin is the one who can lead the officials; it is not the officials who lead Zhang Lin. This is a relationship of the active and the passive.

When the relationship between these two is reversed, the Gainianjiu Society changes. Zhang Lin now holds complete control, and he can even lead the officials themselves. This is undoubtedly a terrifying thing.

After Wang Hu figured this out, he realized just how correct Mr. Wang's approach was. If he had not chosen to act this way, the entire Wang family might have been dragged down with him, because Zhang Lin would not let them off. What Zhang Lin wants to do now is to bring the Wang family under his wing.

Then tell them which direction the right path lies. At the beginning they paid no attention to such things, but now they must put it on the agenda. This is also the first thing they did to help Zhang Lin after they came to their senses. After figuring this out, Wang Hu was instantly relieved.

They did not know of Wang Wang Canghai's existence, but through watching the livestream they also knew there was a mysterious figure behind the Wang family. Regarding this mysterious figure, Mr. Wang said not a single word. Even his trusted confidants, the absolute elites of the former Lateral Spin department, could not obtain any information about it.

Some bold ones even directly asked Mr. Wang, but Mr. Wang still kept his mouth tightly shut about it.

Actually, Mr. Wang's starting point was very simple: he had to handle problems by following his original way of thinking. At that time, Wang Wang Canghai hiding himself was certainly helpful to him, but now he still hoped his identity could be directly revealed within the Wang family.

The only thing Mr. Wang felt fortunate about was this: if Wang Wang Canghai's identity were exposed, then he wanted to take the Wang family people and continue moving forward, thereby escaping everything.

Such a thing would absolutely not be realistic. At that time it would mean Wang Wang Canghai could use his identity to seize back all control, and that would be the outcome Mr. Wang least wanted to see.

Now the situation has completely changed. That is to say, even if Wang Wang Canghai truly announced his identity and faced all the Wang family members, the Wang family would not believe him.

This can be seen from contacting Wang Cen and Su Nan. If Wang Wang Canghai truly had the confidence to make Wang Cen believe him, he would have revealed his identity at the very first moment and would not have chosen to drag things out like this.

No matter how much Wang Wang Canghai did not believe in so-called loyalty, he could still read between the lines that Wang Cen's loyalty to the Wang family was absolutely genuine. And along with this faith, Wang Wang Canghai could use such faith to make Wang Cen do many things.

But Wang Wang Canghai ultimately missed the best opportunity. Later, when Wang Cen came to his senses and no longer believed Wang Wang Canghai, he instantly lost his faith. This is called reaping what one has sown.

Wang Wang Canghai thought that by staying hidden he could control everything, but in the end these things instead drifted away bit by bit, leaving Wang Wang Canghai with fewer and fewer choices. Thinking of this, Wang Wang Canghai could not help but sigh softly. And now this Wang Hu also clearly knew how he should reply to the other party.

Even if the Wang family is now facing the prospect of imminent dissolution, they can represent the officials but cannot represent Zhang Lin. If at this time Zhang Lin's assistant were here to put forward corresponding demands, they would naturally agree.

That said, fundamentally speaking, this cooperation between the two sides was guided by Zhang Lin and planned all the way to today.

Therefore the Wang family would still give Zhang Lin this face, but what right do the officials have to ask the Wang family to give them face here?

Wang Hu knew very well that after arriving at the second archaeological branch, the instructions he received came not only from Mr. Wang, but possibly also from Zhang Lin. And what Mr. Wang said was very likely conveying Zhang Lin's intentions.

Wang Hu was already very clear on this point. Although before this he had been quite unconvinced of it, as those subsequent events unfolded, Wang Hu knew he had to accept his fate.

If he did not accept it, someone would make him accept it passively. Or rather, Mr. Wang would not hesitate to send other people to replace him in carrying out the next tasks. All of this was within Wang Hu's expectations. Since he had seen through the pros and cons involved, Wang Hu naturally would not dwell on these useless things any longer.

The next moment, he said very frankly: "Mr., right now I'm talking to you while holding back my temper. If you keep pushing your luck, don't blame us for being impolite. Go ahead and try it. You, one person, against this group of ours—who's really stronger?"

Wang Wang Canghai, upon hearing these words, was first stunned, and then the corner of his mouth curled into a cold smile.
