Chapter 3329: How Did I End Up With Such an Idiot! Truly Helpless!

~6 min read 1,012 words

As one can imagine, even Wang Wang Canghai himself couldn't stand Wang Hu's stupidity anymore, which was proof enough that neither Mr. Wang nor Zhang Lin was wrong in their thinking.

It's just that Zhang Lin didn't pay much attention to this Wang Hu — he only wanted to vex the man's mind, nothing more; later on, even if he didn't act himself, Mr. Wang would.

But looking at the current situation, none of them needed to lift a finger; by the look of things, Wang Hu should soon reach the Second Archaeology Team.

Before long he would become exactly the kind of cannon fodder Zhang Lin had described, and then, while not everything could be said to be settled, at the very least it would help show just how cruel reality truly was.

That was precisely the outcome Zhang Lin wanted — to let Wang Hu understand that some things were simply not what he imagined.

If he remained naive, stubborn, and foolish, then in the end he certainly wouldn't meet a good end. The reason Zhang Lin pressed him step by step was ultimately to make Wang Wang Canghai speak the truth himself; of course, if in the end Wang Wang Canghai still couldn't see things clearly, Zhang Lin would change all the plans he had previously set.

This change of plans didn't mean every detail had to be altered — the key was the macro-level things, and these matters didn't need to be worried over too much.

Because from the very beginning Zhang Lin had set two safety valves on this kind of plan; he could attend to both ends and handle everything properly, and that was what mattered most.

In other words, if Wang Wang Canghai took this path, as long as he told Zhang Lin these things, Zhang Lin could fulfill his promise within the permitted scope, rather than going back on his word.

In other words, Zhang Lin had no intention of using this method to lure or deceive Wang Wang Canghai in any way; he genuinely wanted to exchange conditions with him, but ultimately, whether Wang Wang Canghai appreciated it depended entirely on how the man himself thought about it.

But one thing was certain — both Zhang Lin and Wang Wang Canghai were quite sure that the opportunity before and the opportunity shaped afterward were fundamentally different, and the impact this difference would have going forward was truly far-reaching; so if Wang Wang Canghai made his choice, what he could gain would also be far less than at the beginning.

It all depended on how Wang Wang Canghai himself thought about it.

If he felt he could still control everything, naturally he wouldn't make that kind of choice, or he certainly wouldn't care about those messy matters, and would even try to keep everything in his own hands.

This had always been Wang Wang Canghai's habit — even though Zhang Lin Has Already been so aggressive, he hadn't let this habit of his change in the slightest.

But although such things could slow Zhang Lin's steps, it was only for an instant; afterward Zhang Lin had many ways to respond.

It's just that these people themselves didn't realize it, still clinging to their little schemes, wanting to keep fighting Zhang Lin, unaware that all these little tricks were within Zhang Lin's predictions — he simply hadn't deliberately exposed them.

Looking at Wang Hu at this moment, he kept glancing at Wang Wang Canghai from time to time, and naturally this gaze was noticed by the other party.

The next moment Wang Wang Canghai smiled, shook his head, and said: "I was just asking how far we still have to go; there's no need to rush now — at the very least, wait until Zhang Lin has ascended the New Moon Restaurant before we enter the place where the Second Archaeology Team is."

Wang Wang Canghai had now made up his mind completely, determined to play a round with Zhang Lin; since that was the case, Wang Wang Canghai told himself he absolutely had to maintain that instinctive caution.

If he even lost that caution, his own understanding was also very clear — at that point there wouldn't be the slightest chance left to turn things around.

So when Wang Hu heard Wang Wang Canghai explaining, he actually nodded subconsciously; he had never considered that the reason the other party said these words was simply because there was truly no other way to stall.

And this time Wang Wang Canghai was also prepared to face Wang Hu's doubts; he knew that even though he had already scared the man into submission, it only treated the symptoms, not the root cause — anyone with a brain wouldn't lead people blindly charging forward with him, only to die without even knowing how.

But precisely Wang Hu didn't do that, and Wang Canghai felt a little helpless inside; at this moment he was also wondering whether he had made the wrong choice from the very beginning.

Although this fool was easy to fool, and had followed him around after just a few words, and now it looked like the gains weren't small, in reality if this kind of thing spread it wouldn't be like that.

If everything could be completed smoothly this time, and Wang Hu survived by sheer luck, Wang Wang Canghai had originally wanted to use Wang Hu's loyalty to him — who knows, he might even rebuild the Wang family; but now Wang Wang Canghai no longer held such thoughts, and at the same time felt that his previous ideas were somewhat laughable.

What could a fool like Wang Hu possibly help him with?

But at this moment Wang Hu had no premonition at all; he assumed that Wang Wang Canghai giving him a pleasant look at this time proved he had already obtained the corresponding value.

At the same time, after this he could speak a little more freely, and he had even begun to feel smug now — this was truly beyond saving.
