Wei Yinzhang nodded, "Yes.
"At that ti, the players leaving Area A included Lawyer Lin, Cai Zhiyuan, myself, Shen Xing, Aunt Zhou, Dai Yifan, and Boss Wang.
"Of course, there were also Yang Hui and Li Jiang.
"In fact, this system subtly excluded Boss Wang:
"Lawyer Lin, Cai Zhiyuan, myself, and Boss Wang all participated in the plan, but the order of participation differed, affecting influence accordingly.
"Lawyer Lin and Cai Zhiyuan were responsible for the most and controlled the most, while Boss Wang joined the latest and thus controlled the least.
"Shen Xing, Aunt Zhou, and Dai Yifan were all weaker players in the community, so they needed priority care, receiving a stable transmission of wealth coupons instead.
"Yang Hui and Li Jiang received transfusions from fellow community players.
"So, in contrast, Cai Zhiyuan used Boss Wang's 'stronger identity' and this blind spot strategy to deliberately make his wealth coupons the least among these players.
"Of course, it wouldn't be so obvious, but even if there was only a shortfall of 1000 or 100, according to the rules, Boss Wang would still be the one left behind."
Zheng Jie asked, "So didn't Brother Wang notice this himself?"
Wei Yinzhang didn't give a definite answer, "I can't be sure.
"Boss Wang's gains in the ga certainly weren't low, just lower than others in our community.
"Occasionally, so rounds without 'transfusion' could be explained as an oversight or idle rounds. As a 'stronger player,' not being prioritized or having idle rounds can be understandable.
"Boss Wang wasn't involved in the whole process of the arrangent, so it was difficult for him to calculate precisely how many wealth coupons he needed to be sufficient.
"Perhaps he thought he had enough, only to realize later when he was left behind.
"Or maybe he realized this possibility, but by then, it was too late to catch up in wealth coupons when others were 'fully transfused.'"
Yang Hui, who had been silent, added, "It's also possible… President Wang didn't believe Cai Zhiyuan would dare to blatantly calculate him in such a critical ga, so he lowered his guard."
The others nodded in agreent.
For this was sothing they hadn't thought of either.
According to the situation at the ti, most players thought Cai Zhiyuan had temporarily put aside his conflict with Wang Yongxin and made peace.
Though the two seed to be at odds, Wang Yongxin had been integrated into the Five Core mbers, becoming an irreplaceable part of the community, and playing an extrely important role as a ga core.
'Tarot Ga' required everyone to work together to reunite Shen Xing with Zhou Guifen in the community.
In this case, Wang Yongxin felt there was no need for Cai Zhiyuan to calculate him, believing that any maneuvers would be for the subsequent community politics.
So he relaxed his guard to so extent, focusing more on interpreting and designing the ga rules.
Perhaps he realized he was being calculated only at the last minute, but in this matter, being late by 1 minute or 3 hours made no difference in the result.
Maybe he realized it but could no longer turn the situation around; or maybe he realized it but actively chose to move to another community.
Nobody knew the specific circumstances at the ti, but from the results, Cai Zhiyuan indeed completed the 'Tarot Ga' layout while incidentally squeezing Wang Yongxin out.
Lin Sizhi explained, "From this perspective, Boss Wang's judgnt wasn't wrong, but also incredibly wrong.
"If viewed only from the angle of 'community infighting', Cai Zhiyuan indeed didn't need to spare the effort to kick him out in this ga, because within the community, political maneuvers alone could steadily suppress Boss Wang, and keeping Boss Wang as a ga core in the community would benefit the community as a whole.
"So, most people, including Boss Wang himself, felt there was no need for Cai Zhiyuan to do this.
"Cai Zhiyuan wasn't going to go to such lengths over the community's power struggles, nor would he sacrifice a ga core over trivial power in the community.
"However, the reason Cai Zhiyuan wanted to send Boss Wang away was for another, simple reason:
"Only after Boss Wang was gone could he deal with without concerns.
"Leaving Boss Wang in the community would introduce many variables, which he did not want to affect the outco of our confrontation.
"In this regard, what Boss Wang didn't realize was: Cai Zhiyuan's ultimate goal was always to 'face off with without concerns,' and Boss Wang in this part was just an 'obstructive person'."
Zheng Jie sowhat belatedly said, "So… actually Sister Wei, you had a rough idea during the replay of the 'Tarot Ga'? But you didn't say anything then."
Wei Yinzhang nodded, "I'm sorry, but I couldn't say anything.
"Boss Wang's departure had already beco a fait accompli, and speaking out about it would only openly provoke conflict, aningless.
"The stage of Community 17 had long ceased to be a place for our words.
"Ultimately, the fate depended on just two people."
Qin Yao suddenly thought of sothing, "Right, Lawyer Lin also said before, this community had actually completed its evolution, this is the final form.
"Is that what it ans?"
Lin Sizhi nodded, "Yes, actually Cai Zhiyuan was just one step away from completing all his plans, but most people didn't feel it."
No one spoke; they knew that the so-called 'one step away' was actually 'killing Lin Sizhi in the ga'.
Lin Sizhi continued, "Imagine if the result of this ga was dying in the ga, and Cai Zhiyuan surviving.
"If it were him sitting here instead of , what would happen."
Everyone fell silent, not speaking for a long ti.
Finally, Li Renshu spoke, "He would directly control everything."
It was evident she was unwilling to accept such a fact, but with strong political awareness, she could see it clearly.
Li Renshu suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of helplessness.
Zheng Jie, sowhat confused, said, "Wait, can you explain in detail?
"Even in such an extre case, don't we still have 10 votes?
"In the community, our unanimously recognized leader is still Li Renshu.
"How would Brother Cai control the community?"
Li Jiang asked, "Is it really 'unanimously recognized'?
"Perhaps because I'm an outsider, I see it more clearly.
"Previously, you thought everyone in the community unanimously recognized Li Renshu as the leader, because Cai Zhiyuan was always standing behind her.
"But if you had to choose between Cai Zhiyuan and Li Renshu?
"Are you really sure everyone would unhesitatingly stand by Li Renshu?"
