Chapter 1172

~7 min read 1,324 words

Wang Canghai, who was watching the live stream, gritted his teeth fiercely. The man in the suit was stunned and immediately said, "Master, is he really not afraid... not afraid that Jack will jump over the wall like a cornered dog? And thereby..."

Wang Canghai said fiercely, "Can't you see it yet? He is 'taming the eagle'; he just wants to make me impatient, which is why he deliberately stalled for time."

At this moment, Wang Canghai guessed very accurately, but the sad thing was that even if he guessed some things correctly, he had no way to respond.

Zhang Lin now puts everything out in the open, and he is not afraid of any conspiracies or tricks Wang Canghai might use.

This is just the way he is dealing with it; what can you do to me?

This is what Zhang Lin wanted to tell Wang Canghai, and at this very moment, Wang Canghai was at his wit's end.

All the news was transmitted to the Second Archaeological Team. Yang Lu was actually fine; she knew that Zhang Lin would definitely leave after saying everything.

This was a disguised protection for the Second Archaeological Team, and even more so, a protection for her!

If Zhang Lin had said more, perhaps Wang Canghai would have really seized this opportunity and used her to threaten Zhang Lin again.

The words Zhang Lin said just now were nothing more than coming from his own latent consciousness.

And Yang Lu understood very well that if the person behind these foreigners, namely Wang Canghai, really used her to threaten Zhang Lin, and did so regardless of the consequences.

Then Zhang Lin would still care to some extent. Under this premise, Zhang Lin leaving now was actually the most correct choice; after all, the subsequent situation had already been explained.

And Wang Kaixuan was stunned for a moment and said subconsciously, "Mr. Zhang just left like this?"

His tone was full of disbelief. He had assumed that Zhang Lin would guide them to the very end; after all, even if the things Zhang Lin said could be accomplished right now.

They still had to leave the Ancient City of Jingjue in the end. Without Zhang Lin's correct guidance, these people would not be able to leave.

And Yang Lu also thought of this point. Even if the person behind these foreigners was guiding them, since they still had to listen to Zhang Lin regarding the Dragon Bone Heavenly Book, this meant that this person might not know the way out either, otherwise, he would have been following them all along.

This shows that these people might not be sure of themselves, and since Zhang Lin has left, the way out will naturally only be revealed tomorrow night.

However, Yang Lu took a look at Jack's expression, and the other party didn't seem surprised or panicked. Jack right now seemed to be hoping that Zhang Lin would finish explaining the situation and quickly take out the Dragon Bone Heavenly Book.

Yang Lu couldn't help but frown, thinking to herself, could it be that the mastermind behind these people really knows the way out?

But soon Yang Lu shook her head secretly, telling herself that it was absolutely impossible.

There was no other reason; if this person were really that capable, he wouldn't have to rely on Zhang Lin for everything. Even if he knew how the subsequent path should go, it must be wrong.

Yang Lu guessed this point very correctly, and Zhang Lin, based on his understanding of Yang Lu, was also at ease leaving everything to her.

Wang Kaixuan couldn't figure it out, and Yang Lu didn't give any explanation, but seeing that everyone else was silent, Wang Kaixuan also shut his mouth at this time.

Hu Bayi, on the other hand, patted the back of his head and said immediately, "Mr. Zhang isn't our nanny; he's said what needed to be said, why would he stay at the Crescent Hotel?"

Wang Kaixuan nodded subconsciously, thinking to himself that it was indeed so, but an instinct made him feel particularly insecure.

As long as Zhang Lin was at the Crescent Hotel giving them appropriate guidance, the Second Archaeological Team would turn danger into safety and resolve the crisis. But once Zhang Lin was gone, it seemed everything became different.

This was also the main reason why Wang Kaixuan was very worried right now; his mind was very straightforward and he wouldn't think of those potential problems.

And Yang Lu took a deep breath the next moment; she suddenly looked at Jack, revealing a smile that wasn't quite a smile.

Jack was also a bit confused seeing such an expression, but he didn't say anything. In his view, no matter what kind of scheme was hidden in this, as long as he got the Dragon Bone Heavenly Book, it would be fine.

Even if Yang Lu turned into the Queen of Jingjue in the end, so what?

Thinking of this, Jack became exceptionally determined about what to do next. Unexpectedly, Jack's satellite communication rang at this time.

He had absolutely not expected that his boss would contact him at this time; his thought just now was that his boss had already abandoned him.

He wouldn't come up with any other schemes. Under this premise, all the paths Jack could take later were left with no choice; the only condition was to get the Dragon Bone Heavenly Book quickly, and nothing else needed to be said.

Jack believed that if he couldn't do this, perhaps his boss on the other end would take some extreme actions, or even say that if this mission wasn't completed, even at the cost of his life, his family would still suffer.

Jack knew very well what kind of temper his boss had; it was very likely he would endanger his family to vent his anger.

Under these circumstances, even though Jack didn't have an optimistic attitude about his own life and death later, he had to insist on finishing this matter.

Jack answered the phone with a complicated mood. Actually, in the few seconds before connecting, Jack had a bad premonition in his heart.

He also knew the principle that abnormal events must have a demon; receiving such a call at this time probably didn't mean anything good. Unexpectedly, the first sentence his boss said shocked him.

There was only one order, and that was to find someone he trusted to wear that mask and experiment with it first.

Jack understood immediately; it was precisely because the man in the suit and Wang Canghai were uneasy, terrified that after wearing the mask, the Queen of Jingjue would really be resurrected.

Even if they extracted the essence from the Corpse-Fragrant Konjac and knocked off the mask, it might not have any effect in the end.

If that were the case, they certainly wouldn't get the Dragon Bone Heavenly Book. Wang Kaixuan could not care about the life or death of these people, but right now, he still hadn't given up his obsession with the Dragon Bone Heavenly Book.

Even if he felt that deep sense of frustration, it was still the case.

Jack had a complicated expression, walked to the side, and said in a low voice, "Boss, is it okay if I just find one of my dozen subordinates to try it?"

He could hear the subtext in his boss's words; what did finding someone he trusted mean?

That would only be his deputy. These two had shared hardships for many years. No matter how ruthless Jack was to outsiders, he treated this one as a brother; he didn't want to watch his brother die like this.

And the man in the suit on the other side said sternly, "This is the order I received; whether you do it or not is up to you. If you don't do it, you know the consequences."
