Chapter 3154: Must Tell Zhang Lin! Otherwise It's a Bottomless Pit!

Mr. Wang might choose to bring everyone into the same mental frequency, and tell them the whole truth about everything—successfully.

Exposing Wang Canghai's identity, and telling them just how ruthless and venomous his old methods were, how many people they had poisoned.

In this situation, it's possible they could truly find their old selves again, or at least stop believing in Wang Canghai.

And instead follow the authorities, or Zhang Lin, in whatever comes next. But clearly that isn't the concept now—everything will change.

On the premise of a fundamental shift, Mr. Wang must make that choice.

After thinking for a long while, Mr. Wang sighed. He picked up the satellite phone, wondering whether to try contacting Zhang Lin again—he felt this matter could no longer be hidden.

He couldn't even wait until Zhang Lin woke up tomorrow morning to report it. Wang Canghai could take those people to Archaeology Team Two at any moment; now he was stronger than ever.

The other party stepping in personally was something Mr. Wang hadn't anticipated at the start. But now that the fact was right before his eyes, whether he'd foreseen it or not, he had to accept this reality. Running from it solved nothing—his awareness of that was crystal clear.

In that case, Mr. Wang simply threw caution to the wind. If, by keeping this matter hidden at all costs, he had a fifty percent chance of solving everything, Mr. Wang still wouldn't choose to tell Zhang Lin—because he was afraid.

Afraid that Zhang Lin would truly go back on his word, or, on the premise that this matter hadn't been handled well, tear up every promise they'd made before.

Although Zhang Lin hadn't given him any particularly good promises, Mr. Wang had accepted all of this before, and had decided it was enough. Since it was enough, why keep agonizing?

Without that agonizing, he would steer everything toward a relatively peaceful state, reach that peaceful situation, and then all of this would naturally be easier to accept. That was what Mr. Wang was thinking right now.

But taking a step back, he didn't have that kind of confidence at all now. After thinking everything through, he felt he didn't even have a ten percent chance. First, anyone sent out could be turned by Wang Canghai—that was one.

Two, even if Wang Canghai no longer cared about those people themselves, he could still kill them off in all sorts of ways. After they died for nothing, what choice would Mr. Wang have left?

Sending more people would undoubtedly become a bottomless pit, so he could no longer solve anything himself. Rather than botching it later, it was better to tell Zhang Lin right now, first thing, exactly what was going on.

Right now their convoy was still moving forward—several days had passed. Mr. Wang hadn't stopped, hadn't even used planes or trains or any such transport to move forward. Right now they were traveling entirely along the border.

They could probably board the ship tomorrow, but for now Mr. Wang had decided to leave some people here, so they could set out at any moment to coordinate with the two archaeology teams' operations—just in case Zhang Lin had some arrangement later that would affect the whole picture.

After clarifying this point, Mr. Wang was unshakable in his own arrangements. After thinking it all through, Mr. Wang let out a heavy sigh of relief. He felt that as long as he could find this path, then everything was worth it!

He didn't need to keep draining himself mentally, thinking about useless things anymore. Immediately Mr. Wang grabbed the phone. Now there were two choices: either call Zhang Lin, see if he picked up, and report the matter that way.

Or simply wait until tomorrow morning, when Zhang Lin was a hundred percent sure to answer his call, and then dial out. Of these two choices, Mr. Wang chose the former first. Since he'd decided this matter had to be told to Zhang Lin no matter what, there could be no hesitation.

So calling Zhang Lin now, whether he picked up or not, didn't matter to Mr. Wang. The next morning, when Zhang Lin saw the missed call, he'd call back right away.

So Mr. Wang dialed right then. It rang many times with no answer. Mr. Wang hung up immediately, closed his eyes the next moment, and slowly drifted off to sleep.

Although these matters had troubled him enough, over these past days Mr. Wang had slept no more than three hours in total. His mind kept circling back to the same things over and over—anyone would buckle under such intense mental strain.

But later, with Zhang Lin's appearance, Mr. Wang had grabbed the last life-saving straw, caught this train, and put himself in an unassailable position.

But Mr. Wang hadn't even had time to be glad before Wang Canghai had pulled this stunt within a single day—of course, that was also because the people he'd sent out had bad luck.

The key was Wang Hu's current choice. If it could really lean in the Wang family's favor, Mr. Wang wouldn't have chosen to betray Wang Canghai in the first place.

In the end, these things simply couldn't continue according to Wang Hu's ideas. Some say Mr. Wang was still doing it for his own life, which was why he took the entire Wang family away—but these people simply didn't understand Wang Canghai well enough.

At the start, Mr. Wang's starting point was indeed himself. But if he'd wanted to escape, he could have taken a few trusted men and left alone. Even on that premise, even if Wang Canghai killed off the rest of the Wang family, he wouldn't have been able to find Mr. Wang right away.

Mr. Wang had that much confidence. Taking so many people with him only made the target bigger. So he could dispatch them to carry out some tasks, but in the end the loss outweighed the gain.

Supporting these people cost far more resources, but in the end Mr. Wang didn't make a selfish choice—instead, in this way, he let everyone survive.

On that premise, they should all actually be grateful to Mr. Wang for making that decision. If Mr. Wang hadn't made that decision, then later when Wang Canghai reached the Wang family—

Whether or not he could make the Wang family believe he was Wang Canghai, with his overwhelming personal strength and iron-fisted policies, he could seize all power in an instant. At that point the Wang family would have no choice but to obey Wang Canghai's orders.

When that time came, the orders Wang Canghai gave wouldn't be as polite as they were now. He would have the Wang family pour out in force against the two archaeology teams, and solve everything in the most extreme way. That was the cruelest reality.
