Chapter 1437: Shen Qiong suddenly volunteers? Yang Lu is suspicious!

~7 min read 1,243 words

Shen Qiong saying this wasn't to show off; she just wanted Yang Lu to take a rest quickly. After all, too many things had happened before and after.

Even if Yang Lu was the leader, she wasn't a robot. Under this premise, she still had to rest for a while.

After they passed through this tomb door, they were temporarily safe, but in reality, the danger they would face after those people caught up was corresponding. And the only good news now was that those people had been completely wiped out.

And they had delivered supplies, so they might have time to waste later.

However, Zhang Lin at the Crescent Hotel didn't have time to spend with them. Even if Zhang Lin wanted to help the second archaeological team, facing such a situation, it would be more or less like a cup of water on a burning cart of firewood.

Because the time Zhang Lin mentioned was limited, he couldn't waste all his time on the Crescent Hotel. Many things still had to rely on themselves.

Shen Qiong, who thought of this point, naturally had such thoughts. And the reason the Wang family side kept urging Shen Qiong and was so anxious was also because of the Wang family.

She believed that her ratio had increased, and she had closed the secret communication with the Wang family. Since the ratio had risen to that state, the Wang family wouldn't listen to her defense.

In the Wang family, the concept of a double agent didn't exist, so Shen Qiong's fate was already doomed.

Since that was the case, Shen Qiong simply went all the way and cut off contact with the Wang family directly.

No matter what they said, it was meaningless. What Shen Qiong was worried about was that the Wang family would send others over later. Now that the Longling Maze could be found by the other party, the Wang family could definitely find it.

The reason Shen Qiong concluded that these people had nothing to do with the Wang family was because they were too much like a makeshift troupe!

Even if they didn't care about their own lives, they had no corresponding understanding of the matters in the tomb. Under this premise, Shen Qiong could very definitely judge that these people definitely had nothing to do with the Wang family.

But now that these people could find it, the Wang family would also arrive soon. As long as they had this intention, this was also the reason Shen Qiong was very worried.

If they waited for the other party to come, they wouldn't be able to fight them at all with just the five of them. Yang Lu alone was probably a cup of water on a burning cart of firewood.

Ma Dadan's group was even more impossible. They were just fish on the chopping block, completely cannon fodder, giving it away for free!

Even if Ma Dadan's group didn't choose to betray the Wang family and chose to stand on their side, it wouldn't have any meaning.

And Yang Lu was stunned at this time. Hearing Shen Qiong's request, it inevitably made her have other thoughts, and she couldn't help but ask, "Shen Qiong, why do I feel you're acting strange."

Shen Qiong subconsciously took a step back. In fact, such behavior had already led to exposure, and Zhang Lin smiled indifferently after seeing this scene.

He knew that Shen Qiong had definitely changed her mind, otherwise she would never have made such a decision.

When the Wang family infiltrated, especially when following the archaeological team, they would definitely try their best to hide themselves in the tomb.

And this way of hiding wasn't deliberately not speaking, but making people feel that their existence was not there, speaking one or two sentences when necessary.

And always choosing silence when unnecessary—this was the most high-end way of hiding.

Back at the Prince of Gumo's tomb, Shen Qiong was actually deliberately exposing herself.

And such a way made her feel a certain tangled emotion in her heart. But now that she had figured these things out and intended to completely break away from the Wang family, Shen Qiong naturally wouldn't be tangled anymore.

This was also the reason Yang Lu was suspicious. Although she didn't know Shen Qiong's identity, facing this series of things, it was inevitable that Yang Lu felt very strange.

Shen Qiong thought for a moment, smiled helplessly, shrugged her shoulders, and didn't explain.

If she really had other intentions, she would have to explain a sentence or two even if she didn't want to, but now Shen Qiong really didn't have any other intentions.

Then any explanation at this level was all superfluous, so Shen Qiong chose silence.

And Yang Lu also shook her head, smiled helplessly, and didn't persist in this topic.

"It's too early to say these things now. Wait for the news from the Crescent Hotel, see what that particularly troublesome way Mr. Zhang said is, and then we'll decide."

This was the only way Yang Lu could think of to face it. If she didn't actively face this matter, the subsequent results would trigger a chain reaction.

This butterfly effect wasn't something any of them could bear.

And Yang Lu also blamed herself for not being tangled in things that didn't exist. If Shen Qiong really had any other intentions, it was impossible for her to follow them to now without being exposed, including what she was calculating in her heart before.

Was it possible that Shen Qiong really had some potential relationship with those foreigners?

But with Shen Qiong's performance all the way, Yang Lu was one hundred percent certain that such a thing was impossible.

Because if Shen Qiong really intended to use such a way to face the second archaeological team, or if her own role was already doomed—

She would absolutely not have made such a choice after the Jingjue Ancient City when she entrusted everything to the other party.

Including Shen Qiong's final decision to take off her mask, it was all entirely for Yang Lu's life.

Such a person, no matter what secrets she was hiding, Yang Lu could accept, because these hidden things had no conflict with what they were going to do later.

As long as she knew this point, Yang Lu could put her heart in her stomach.

And Zhang Lin at the Crescent Hotel didn't tangle in this topic, and fortunately, those watching the live broadcast naturally didn't notice such a situation.

Zhang Lin simply didn't bother to explain and said directly, "To find that pen, the reason I say it's troublesome is because they need to waste a lot of time. The pen itself is of the same origin as the tomb, and what they need to do right now is to find that point of the same origin."

"Of course, one point must be confirmed before this, which is the explosion sound they heard before. If it really carried the spider with the pen to the central square, then they wouldn't be so troubled."

After saying this, Zhang Lin chose silence directly, because these things needed to be confirmed in advance in the way Zhang Lin said. If it were on this basis, it wouldn't be so troublesome.

And the authorities quickly transmitted the news. Yang Lu didn't hesitate. This time she didn't search by herself, but took three people.
