Fang Zhou was montarily stunned… What did this an? The very first thing he brought up after eting him was actually this?
No matter what… compared to his own feelings toward Ling Mo, shouldn’t this Chief of Staff Wang be more interested in matters concerning Fang Zhou himself at this mont?
After a brief pause, Chief of Staff Wang continued in an unhurried tone, “He actually just let you co back alive… Please don’t misunderstand, I’m rely lanting his personal error in judgnt. I originally thought that an opponent as difficult to deal with as him shouldn’t have made any mistakes…”
“…I feel even worse after your apology… Are you really not mocking ? As for the question… how would I know what he’s thinking, and of course I don’t know what you’re thinking either… So stop playing riddles with !” Fang Zhou thought silently.
“As for you, of course you’re very welco here,” Chief of Staff Wang said again.
“I don’t feel any sense of welco at all… Don’t tell you want both of us to selectively forget about the scene where I was just tied up and brought here?” Fang Zhou shuddered inwardly.
“Heh… well, let’s end the pleasantries here,” Chief of Staff Wang said.
“…What kind of pleasantry was that?!”
“But in any case… to be able to rescue soone from Ling Mo’s hands, that Survivor who tried to threaten really does have so skills.” Chief of Staff Wang finally got to the point and asked Fang Zhou, “About that Survivor… can you describe his appearance? It would be best if you could also describe his Superpower.”
Fang Zhou never expected Chief of Staff Wang to suddenly ask such a question. He was montarily dumbfounded. However, his facial expression didn’t betray any of his inner hesitation… He maintained the look of soone still not fully adjusted to the light, while his mind raced.
Ling Mo had never ntioned this, but he couldn’t have failed to consider it… So what did he want Fang Zhou to say? Fang Zhou thought for a mont, then suddenly rembered! “Tell the truth”-that was Ling Mo’s request and hint!
Although he didn’t know the reason for this, Chief of Staff Wang almost blurted out, “I don’t know, I’ve never seen him.” As soon as the words left his mouth, he understood. The so-called “tell the truth” was actually asking him to tell the most perfect lie. The closer a lie is to the truth, the harder it is to detect, and moreover, he hadn’t even told a single lie-he’d just glossed over part of the truth. This kind of thing… he really was the best person for the job…
But had Ling Mo really anticipated this situation in advance?
After watching him for a while, Chief of Staff Wang actually accepted this answer. He nodded and continued, “From what you said to Ah Lan, it seems Ling Mo’s role in this matter was just going with the flow, right? That Survivor ca to rescue you and exposed his whereabouts, but Ling Mo didn’t try his best to stop him…” He glanced at the fresh wounds on Fang Zhou’s face and continued, “No, more likely he tried to stop you at first, but then suddenly changed his mind for so reason. The result was, he let you go.”
Fang Zhou wore a blank expression… This look could easily make people think he’d been seen through, but in fact, what shocked Fang Zhou inside was Ling Mo’s arrangent… Besides instructing him to “tell the truth” when answering questions, Ling Mo had also given him many fixed lines. He’d even planned out exactly when and to whom these lines should be said. But the one thing he hadn’t taught Fang Zhou was how to fool Chief of Staff Wang.
At the ti, Ling Mo had said, “To deal with a very smart person, the best way is to first find his weakness. And intelligence is often the greatest weakness of such people. So things, if I have you tell him directly, he might not believe you, but if he deduces it himself from clues, he’s less likely to doubt his own judgnt.”
Bullseye!
Chief of Staff Wang really did deduce the “truth” himself…
And all those seemingly unrelated arrangents by Ling Mo… now all connected together.
“So this is Ling Mo’s counterattack…” Fang Zhou thought, his heart pounding with fear.
He suddenly realized that he himself had been taken down in the sa way… It’s just that when it ca to intelligence and confidence, he and Chief of Staff Wang weren’t even on the sa level. So the thods Ling Mo used beca much more dangerous. Using the enemy to defeat the enemy… using wits to break wits!
“If I haven’t analyzed this matter incorrectly, then we can infer two possibilities next. First, this is a trap, and the Survivor is actually in cahoots with him. Ling Mo is playing along, wanting and him to keep being wary of each other, while using the Survivor to create opportunities. In this way, I’ll fall into a completely passive position, and the current balance will be broken. The second is…” Chief of Staff Wang took a sip of wine and said, “the real trap…”
“That’s you, Fang Zhou.”
Thump!
Fang Zhou’s heart started pounding wildly, and he almost instinctively gripped the armrest of his chair. If he hadn’t used all his strength to restrain himself, he probably would have jumped up and attacked Chief of Staff Wang by now.
But not to ntion the people waiting outside, just Chief of Staff Wang himself-Fang Zhou wasn’t confident he could subdue or kill him. Even though he’d never seen Chief of Staff Wang in action, this man had always given him an unfathomable feeling. The only reason he’d had such an impulse just now was because he’d been startled!
He was the trap? How was that possible?!
But looking at Chief of Staff Wang’s expression…
No, it was possible! Very possible!
That Ling Mo guy was no pushover either! The only question was… what kind of trap had been set on him…
And since Chief of Staff Wang could analyze it so quickly, it also ant Ling Mo had probably done it on purpose!
“That damned bastard…”
Fang Zhou knew his face must look terrible right now. He forced a smile and said, “Um… Chief of Staff Wang, I really don’t understand what you an by that…”
Unexpectedly, Chief of Staff Wang glanced at him with interest, then smiled and shook his head, “It’s fine, it doesn’t matter if you don’t understand… Alright, go ahead, tell everything you know. As an exchange, I won’t hold you accountable for anything. Ling Mo, since you want to play gas, then let’s play properly. Although personally, I really dislike this kind of gambling…”
“But Ling Mo might not be a gambler either…” Fang Zhou nodded as he thought to himself…
