Chapter 3376: The Inescapable Cause and Effect That Must Be Borne!

~7 min read 1,329 words

At the same time, afterward he can make the appropriate arrangements and responses; as long as this point is met, for Zhang Lin it is already enough, and he can disregard everything else.

And the core point lies with Yang Lu; the Archaeology Team One side also has to be considered.

But if Fatty continues to be obstinate, then even if Zhang Lin has to consider Archaeology Team One, he will switch to a different strategy — this point is certain.

Right now, of course, the problem of Fatty on Archaeology Team One must be resolved, but the primary principle is to first settle Mr. Wang's matter. As for the current situation of the Wang family, Zhang Lin still cannot be a hundred percent certain — that is the first point.

The second point is that at present Zhang Lin has a premonition that the final moment will arrive very soon.

So he must be more careful and cautious than usual. If normally a sixty or seventy percent certainty would be enough for Zhang Lin to let the archaeology team make a choice, then now, unless that certainty is raised to ninety percent, Zhang Lin absolutely will not issue the corresponding order.

Zhang Lin is clearer than anyone that maintaining balance is always the hardest thing, so now he would rather let the scales tilt by one corner than deliberately maintain that so-called balance.

Zhang Lin is extremely certain of this answer, because even if others complain or someone criticizes, it will never change his decision.

First, everything must revolve around Zhang Lin, and Zhang Lin is also very clear that if these things depart from his judgment, then everything will lose its original meaning.

This point is not Zhang Lin crying wolf — all matters are leaning toward the other end of the scales. The reason Zhang Lin does this is, on one hand, to let Archaeology Team Two drop the baggage in their hearts; in fact, Zhang Lin has always understood Yang Lu's feelings.

He simply does not want Yang Lu to continue, and moreover the burden carried by Archaeology Team One is not as heavy as Yang Lu's — this is also the main reason he chooses to favor one over the other.

If the other side does not understand, or if Fatty of Archaeology Team One still clings to this point, then the change of thinking Zhang Lin spoke of is really no joke — this is also the result that Wu Tianzhen or Zhang Tianshi saw.

So at this moment they would rather let Fatty calm down first than let him do something foolish. However, the current scene at Archaeology Team One is still at a stalemate, so to speak there is a kind of swords-drawn-and-bows-crossed state. But in Zhang Lin's view, resolving Mr. Wang's situation here is stronger than anything else.

Right now Mr. Wang seems to have agreed to him, but in his heart he still carries baggage. If that baggage in the other's heart is not put down, then everything will likewise lose its original meaning.

This point Zhang Lin is clearer on than anyone. Since that is the case, Zhang Lin will not leave such a loose end. Zhang Lin also understands Wang Wang Canghai too well — what kind of person the other is, Zhang Lin had already made very clear through his own understanding right from the start.

Zhang Lin is certain that he will not change now, even if certain details change; the broad direction he covers will absolutely not deviate in the slightest. On this point Zhang Lin is far more certain than anyone. Since that is so, Zhang Lin knows how to handle what comes next.

To say Zhang Lin fears nothing is true, but at times he also worries that Wang Wang Canghai will use the Wang family to stir up waves again — after all, Mr. Wang's heart is still wavering right now.

The only thing Zhang Lin needs to do now is settle Mr. Wang's heart, otherwise the trouble will be endless; under such circumstances the problems caused will only grow more numerous. This is not Zhang Lin being jittery or lacking confidence in himself.

Just as he told Mr. Wang, he must consider the cause and effect of everything, front and back, with absolute clarity — any single carelessness will be exchanged for a fate of dying without a burial place. Zhang Lin's opponent acts exactly this way. It seems Wang Wang Canghai is burning his boats, but in reality everything has long since lost its balance.

And the reason Zhang Lin responds so smoothly is that now the advantage Zhang Lin controls easily pulls him into a state of being invincible. Zhang Lin knows the opponent must have realized there is no longer any chance of turning things around through a frontal approach.

Then the only chance left to him can only be finding a point to turn things around through some underhanded means, and the most obvious of these is waiting for Zhang Lin to make a mistake. So Zhang Lin is even less likely to let the other catch even the smallest error and thereby lose the whole game.

In this kind of confrontation, any tiny slip will be seized by the opponent at the first instant, so Zhang Lin instinctively still looks down on Wang Wang Canghai. Moreover, all along Zhang Lin has seen Wang Wang Canghai's actions clearly — they truly cannot be brought into the light.

If at the very beginning Wang Wang Canghai's way of responding could still make Zhang Lin accept it to some degree, considering him a relatively threatening opponent.

Then as subsequent events developed, Zhang Lin gave up that notion. Wang Wang Canghai is clearly not a qualified opponent — he cannot even be counted as an opponent.

This point Zhang Lin recognized very clearly long ago, but the more so, the less Zhang Lin wants to capsize in a ditch. Once any mistake occurs, there will be no redemption; perhaps this is also a point Mr. Wang does not understand.

In Mr. Wang's view, Wang Wang Canghai is now bound to lose, unless he still has some trump card.

And the only one Mr. Wang can understand is Zhang Lin, because he does not yet know the existence of certain secrets, hoping through this method to make Wang Wang Canghai bring them up on his own.

Whether out of fear or a slip of the tongue, it does not matter — Zhang Lin urgently needs to understand what the situation of these secrets actually is. This is also the only thing Mr. Wang can think of at this moment.

Actually, from this angle, Mr. Wang is not wrong in his thinking. Zhang Lin does indeed want to hear these things, but the key point is that Zhang Lin's attention is not limited to these alone — he also wants to let Wang Wang Canghai keep walking step by step, to see what counter-strategy the other has.

The key is whether the Ten-Thousand Slave King will actually come out?

Or is there some earth-shattering secret hidden within?

If Wang Wang Canghai dies, then truly nothing will be gained.

Of course, Mr. Wang has never realized that Zhang Lin is deliberately guarding against Wang Wang Canghai turning things around — from his perspective, including all the current Wang family members.

If they knew this, they would also think Zhang Lin has no need at all to make a fuss and put on such a show, because the other side has full confidence to carry out this contest of wits — all the initiative is already in Zhang Lin's hands.

This is what matters most!

And without the premise of such initiative, Zhang Lin has even less need to say those messy, incoherent words — this is the cause and effect brought by the overall shift in the rhythm of this matter.
