Hearing this, Lin Wu was the first to speak up. "You want us to keep a secret, but what happens when you take it out and open a channel? Soon everyone will see it. Does it make any difference whether we keep the secret or not?"
"Of course, there is a difference," Professor Zhang said. "Knowing that it can open is one thing; knowing that it can be used to leave as well is quite another."
Chang Chi spoke with a hint of sarcasm. "But why should we agree? According to you, you also don't want us two to compete for it. But what if we can only get in smoothly and then have trouble getting out? After all, you didn't look kindly upon us before. I have every reason to believe you'd seize the chance to leave us behind."
Lin Wu added leisurely. "It's him you looked down upon, not me."
Chang Chi was caught off guard. "Get it straight, right now you and I are on the same side! They are the ones who have conflicting interests with both you and me!"
