Chapter 3153: Tighten the Defense! The News Must Be Sealed Off!

This was also something that was absolutely correct in Mr. Wang's understanding.

He did not agonize over what was right, nor did he feel regret over past matters; as long as he could seize this life-saving straw, he would not bother with all those other messy affairs, because this time, after all, was a hard-won chance to survive.

Now, for Mr. Wang, the only thing he agonized over was whether he should tell Zhang Lin directly tomorrow morning; if he told the other party, it would mean he had completely botched this matter.

That was clearly not the outcome Mr. Wang wanted to see, but if he didn't tell him and the situation couldn't be salvaged, a team had now inexplicably gone missing; however, Mr. Wang could still send another squad to Archaeology Team Two's side to make up for it.

He could even increase the number, because the people he had organized this time were also selected from the elite; but now, with still more people available to send out, on this basis he had instead become the one holding the greatest advantage.

After all, Zhang Lin's side would not coordinate with the officials, and now that Zhang Lin was intervening in all these matters, fundamentally the only ones he could command were Mr. Wang, or rather, those former betrayers would submit to Zhang Lin's orders.

And the others absolutely would not—though the officials might perhaps adopt Zhang Lin's suggestions.

But at the same time, Zhang Lin would not issue orders to them; even if the officials could obey Zhang Lin's commands, from Zhang Lin's personal standpoint, he would not make that kind of choice—this was certain.

Because once he got tangled up in that kind of ambiguous relationship with the officials, the outcome for Zhang Lin could only become increasingly awkward.

Zhang Lin could naturally distinguish the good from the bad in the situation, and on this basis, Zhang Lin was also very clear about exactly what he should do next; so Mr. Wang, thinking it through, felt he was not without any chance at all—if he didn't tell Zhang Lin this point tomorrow, then there would be much more he could do.

On this basis, he sent out another team; last time it was thirty people, this time it would be sixty or a hundred—dispatch this team to intervene in all of this, because Zhang Lin needed cannon fodder anyway.

Although he wanted to protect the Wang family, there was a majority concept mixed in here; if the sacrifice of a few could be exchanged for the safety of the many, this kind of outcome was naturally acceptable to Mr. Wang as well.

Since he could accept it, what he needed to do now was continue along with this line of thinking; but on second thought, Mr. Wang shook his head to himself.

He felt this matter didn't seem very realistic; it was no longer a question of whether numbers could solve the problem—Wang Canghai's methods were extremely ruthless; he alone might not be able to beat a hundred people, but he still had twenty or thirty men at hand.

And with Wang Hu loyal to him, Wang Canghai could very likely turn these people into dead soldiers in the absolute sense, and then intervening in all his subsequent choices would become Mr. Wang's nightmare.

Even after that, if Zhang Lin came to hold him accountable, Mr. Wang had no idea how to explain himself; considering all this, Mr. Wang's mood at this moment could no longer be restrained.

He didn't know what kind of choice to make next, nor what kind of benefit that choice would bring him, or rather, fundamentally speaking, what would it matter even if Mr. Wang made such a choice?

Although the people under him had already gone to arrange the corresponding situation, having those hidden within the team send back the corresponding signals, these were merely icing on the cake; the key was that the situation had already deteriorated to this extent.

Even if the corresponding signals were truly received, what kind of choice could he still make?

This was exactly what Mr. Wang was agonizing over at this moment; and while he was agonizing, the person from before came through on the walkie-talkie.

"Mr. Wang, everything has been arranged. I got in touch with this person, and he said that the people we sent to Archaeology Team Two's route have all submitted to the command of a middle-aged man—this should be that mysterious person, right?"

Every member of the Wang family was actually curious about this question, wondering what form that mysterious person actually existed in, and they were all imagining whether this mysterious person truly existed.

At first, before the mysterious person was exposed, they only knew of the concept, and they thought this was Mr. Wang staging his own show, so that he could change his vest at any time and thus stand in an invulnerable position in the true sense.

If this mysterious person truly existed, then the Wang family wouldn't have lost so badly, because from the start Mr. Wang would have had far more choices than this, and wouldn't have had to choose avoidance for everything.

That outcome was not what any member of the Wang family wanted to see, but in the end it still turned out this way; this showed that this choice was the only one, and also inevitable, and this was the main reason everyone had become at a loss.

The person on the walkie-talkie was still waiting for Mr. Wang's reply; he felt this answer wouldn't bring any impact to the Wang family, after all the Wang family had already distanced itself from the matter.

Although they had reached that kind of cooperation with either the officials or Zhang Lin, fundamentally speaking, that didn't seem very important either—this was the mindset the Wang family members held at this moment.

In any case, the Wang family had never considered trust to be important, and although any cooperation was built on exploiting newcomers, the Wang family was very adept at betrayal.

While betraying, the Wang family could tip everything in their own favor; but this time Mr. Wang clearly had no intention of doing so, which left most people feeling puzzled.

And faced with Wang Hu's betrayal, some things seemed to have already been brought into the open; after a long moment of reflection, Mr. Wang realized he should make the following arrangements.

So he hurriedly said: "This news—seal it tightly, absolutely cannot let anyone else know."

The other end of the walkie-talkie acknowledged; in fact, making exactly this kind of arrangement showed that Mr. Wang was already feeling guilty, and Mr. Wang couldn't care about so much anymore.

At the same time, he also realized he had previously overlooked a very important thing: if he sent out a new team to Archaeology Team Two's side, what would the others think?

The news he was trying so hard to conceal might just get exposed; but if this news wasn't passed on, what excuse would he use to tell these people about this matter?

Fundamentally speaking, this matter wouldn't actually deviate too greatly, but if Mr. Wang really went all-out and broke the pot, that would be a real spectacle.
