Chapter 1153

"Then what if Zhang Lin still doesn't give an answer when the storytelling ends today?"

Wang Canghai chuckled and said, "I've already told you, that answer will be given sooner or later."

The man in the suit had a solemn expression; he couldn't help but say, "But delays lead to complications, Master!"

Wang Canghai shook his head and didn't continue to say anything else; it seemed this was a choice that had to be made.

Because even he was not 100% certain that relying on Yang Lu or the entire Archaeological Team Two could truly intimidate Zhang Lin.

The choice he made was based on Zhang Lin's soft-heartedness, but after having walked through that era, he had a different understanding of the term "soft-hearted."

Someone as formidable as Zhang Lin must certainly be capable of being ruthless.

Those who wish to achieve great things must be willing to kill even their closest kin; this was the principle he had always followed!

If Zhang Lin suddenly became ruthless as well, and had no regard for the feelings of his audience, and also stopped giving any face to the authorities.

And then acted with a different attitude, then Wang Canghai would truly face a dead end.

By that time, he might only be able to laboriously search for the remaining eye coal essence to sustain his life; however, he also knew that since he had chosen to expose his identity this time.

Although it was only exposed to Zhang Lin alone, this grudge was now thoroughly established, and Zhang Lin would definitely obstruct him in every way, making his path to finding the eye coal essence far from smooth.

Thinking of this, Wang Canghai couldn't help but sigh, and the man in the suit behind him didn't dare to ask any more questions.

At this moment, the live stream chat also began to ponder.

【Is Mr. Zhang stalling for time?】

【I've told you already, don't discuss this matter in the chat.】

【What are you afraid of? Even if we discuss it, what does it matter? Do you think someone as smart as Zhang Lin, or the people behind those foreigners, can't figure this out?】

【I think he's right; these people are definitely much smarter than us, so it's the same no matter how much we discuss it.】

【The chat is just stirring up trouble; the one truly controlling everything is still Mr. Zhang.】

【But stalling for time like this doesn't seem to have any meaning. Could it be that Mr. Zhang is waiting for today's storytelling to end?】

【That's a possibility. Perhaps he just wants to use this method to wear them out, and then these people will understand who is the boss.】

【But I always feel it's not that optimistic...】

In fact, there is only one thing in the chat discussion that is absolutely correct: with their brains, they shouldn't casually try to guess Zhang Lin's solutions to these kinds of things.

If it were the secrets within the tombs from before, he could at least try to follow Zhang Lin's train of thought, but as for the current way of solving the problem.

First, Zhang Lin won't tell them; second, even if they racked their brains, they definitely wouldn't know what method Zhang Lin would use.

Even Yang Lu hasn't thought of it now, let alone them.

And right now, within Archaeological Team Two, Wang Kaixuan suddenly laughed. He looked at Jack and said, "Now you know, right? Mr. Zhang will definitely not submit to any of your actions!"

Jack no longer maintained that smile at this moment, because he had already received a communication sent by his master.

Telling him not to act rashly, and looking at that state, it seemed everything was under control.

Jack wanted to lose his temper at this moment. He had also walked all the way through the Ancient Jingjue City, even if he hadn't experienced as many risks as Archaeological Team Two.

But he still had no confidence in his heart; this Corpse-Fragrant Konjac was simply too terrifying!

He was terrified that some other situation would arise later, even if Wang Canghai had found them the corresponding antidote, or had already given them a perfect plan before this.

But these people still had no confidence in their hearts. For Jack, no matter how calm and composed he appeared before, his true inner thought was to quickly find the Dragon Bone Heavenly Book.

And then take his people away from here so he could go back and complete the mission.

He didn't want to participate in anything that happened afterward at all.

But everything right now seemed to go against his wishes; nothing was developing in the situation Jack had envisioned.

Someone at the Crescent Hotel raised their hand and asked, "Mr. Zhang, will you tell us where the Dragon Bone Heavenly Book is today? Or will you touch this corpse?"

This question was the finishing touch, and after he asked it, everyone stared at him. While this person felt a chill down his spine, a sense of confusion appeared in his eyes.

He really didn't know where his question had gone wrong.

After all, it was already a settled matter before; if Zhang Lin ignored this matter.

It was very likely that Archaeological Team Two would face a life-or-death crisis.

Under this premise, life is more important than anything else, so Zhang Lin stalling for time didn't seem to have any meaning.

The person who asked the question only thought that what Zhang Lin said before was just foreshadowing for the Dragon Bone Heavenly Book matter.

After all, Zhang Lin is a storyteller who must fully consider the audience's feelings. In fact, many people held this thought, but they didn't express it in the chat, or there were people at the Crescent Hotel who held this mindset.

Yet they didn't reveal their inner intentions.
