Chapter 1898: Why don

But what surprised Wang Canghai was just that. Zhang Lin not only refused but also caused him countless troubles afterward.

Following that, Wang Canghai also knew how ridiculous his idea of proposing cooperation was. But this time, the archaeological team had changed. Everything Wang Canghai did before was aimed at the Second Archaeological Team. At this time, the Second Archaeological Team might have already obtained the Dust-Suppressing Bead.

Or they had already disappeared from this world. But Zhang Lin's tone of voice was still so calm. At least Wang Canghai was certain of one thing.

Even if the Second Archaeological Team disappeared from this world, they would come back after a certain amount of time. Otherwise, when Zhang Lin learned the news of Yang Lu's death, he would definitely be incomparably crazy.

Through watching the live stream for such a long time and targeting Zhang Lin for doing these things, Wang Canghai was very certain of one thing: Zhang Lin definitely carried some special emotions for Yang Lu. Although he didn't know the specific relationship between the two.

But as long as Wang Canghai was certain that this relationship had some special nature, then the best way to retaliate against Zhang Lin later would still come from Yang Lu. As long as this point was satisfied, it was enough.

But now everything had to be thought about from a different angle. Wang Canghai was a person who knew how to adapt, especially after losing to Zhang Lin so many times, he knew how to adapt even more.

So Wang Canghai understood what kind of choice would bring him the greatest benefit. Since that was the case, Wang Canghai already felt that he had lowered his posture and chose to talk about this cooperation with Zhang Lin. The other party seemed to have no reason not to agree.

And the cooperation Wang Canghai talked about was based on the cooperation between the First Archaeological Team and Su Nan. Even if Wang Canghai hadn't received the front-end news and hidden intelligence, he was very certain that Wu Tianzhen of the First Archaeological Team wouldn't let go even if he died, and wouldn't cooperate with the other party.

But after Wu Ya appeared, Wu Tianzhen immediately changed his mind. This subtle matter might not be noticed by others, but it was seen by Wang Canghai.

Wang Canghai was also very certain that this must have an inseparable relationship with Zhang Lin. This showed that Zhang Lin had reminded Wu Ya through some means.

That they must establish such cooperation, and the purpose of establishing cooperation itself was just to achieve his other goals.

Wang Canghai didn't care about this point. Just as Mr. Wang had thought before, he never cared about the life or death of the Wang family members, and cared even less about the life or death of other subordinates. Wang Canghai was an extremely selfish person.

As long as everything was inclined toward him, then the subsequent results could naturally be derived. This was the idea Wang Canghai had always held.

Since such an idea was absolutely established, then Wang Canghai's selfish mindset would never change. This was also why, even now, Su Nan was thinking about whether to take her people and leave directly at some time node.

But Wang Cen gave her a reassurance. After all, this was the only person she could trust in the Wang family now.

If Wang Cen encountered any situation, then Su Nan might really choose to take her people and leave.

Even if her people didn't go with her, Su Nan would leave here alone. In fact, if the matter with Leng Feng hadn't happened before, Su Nan wouldn't have made such a choice.

But since Leng Feng had already made that choice before, it showed that the Wang family was overall imbalanced. Even if Su Nan didn't have a brain, she could see this point. Based on this premise, it also led to Su Nan's current mindset not being in a very balanced state.

And the only point that could maintain that relative balance came from Wang Cen.

Although Wang Cen's ratio now seemed to be ironclad, in reality, Mr. Wang was very clear that this ratio might also have a day of losing balance.

Looking at the current situation, Zhang Lin heard Wang Canghai's words about seeking cooperation, first smiled, then spoke slowly: "Wang Canghai, I really don't know how to evaluate you. You are, after all, a person who left a mark in history books, although you are insidious and base, and you can do anything just for your own goals."

"But haven't you thought about hiding well in your turtle shell and living out the rest of your life? Perhaps some things are just fate, and you happened to meet me. Cooperation is impossible. Let me tell you this: I don't even have the interest to play with you anymore."

"Subsequent things are already destined, and those secrets—if you want to guard them, continue hiding them. Anyway, sooner or later, I will fully reveal them. I can even tell you that the purpose of the First Archaeological Team this time is just that."

"I am a storyteller. Don't forget my purpose is to let everyone know the hidden things at the Crescent Hotel."

Hearing this, Wang Canghai's breathing gradually became rapid. He couldn't control himself and immediately said angrily: "Then why don't you tell everyone that I am still alive, and tell them that eternal life exists?"

This was a question Wang Canghai had always wanted to ask. Although he had that kind of guess in his mind, believing that Zhang Lin didn't want to let himself become a target of public criticism by revealing these secrets.

Perhaps after everyone knew that Zhang Lin was very clear about how to obtain eternal life, Zhang Lin himself would also be in danger.

But through the matter of the Bronze Gate, and when Zhang Lin spoke of the things hidden in those hundred years, Wang Canghai understood that what Zhang Lin cared about was not these at all.

And there might be other reasons why he didn't speak of eternal life!

Hearing this, Zhang Lin shook his head and said slowly: "The reason why I don't speak of this matter is actually very simple, but a person like you will never understand."

"The existence of eternal life itself is unreasonable, so I won't speak of it. But the hundred years you call hidden, including the things behind the Bronze Gate, even if revealed, won't attract too much covetousness, because those things have essentially departed from the original scope of this world."

"As long as they are not in this scope, they are nothing that cannot be spoken of."

Wang Canghai took a deep breath. This time, he didn't need to continue guessing Zhang Lin's reasons. At least the person himself had spoken and directly gave him a very certain answer.

Indeed, for Wang Canghai, he didn't understand what Zhang Lin was thinking. And the subtext Zhang Lin conveyed through this sentence, Wang Canghai also understood.

It was nothing more than not wanting the situation to really become chaotic after eternal life or the matter of becoming an immortal was revealed. What he cared about might be the lives of others. This was the core reason Wang Canghai didn't understand.
