Chapter 1913: Found it so easily? There's a problem, right?!

~7 min read 1,276 words

The only thing Zhang Lin was not at ease about was that this person might use too much force. Under these circumstances, searching for the Heaven-Bestowed Singer, the result might not be very optimistic.

And just as the phone was connected, Xue Long hurriedly said, "Mr. Zhang, I have lived up to the mission. I have found the Heaven-Bestowed Singer."

Zhang Lin was stunned, then asked, "Where did you find the Heaven-Bestowed Singer in the middle of the night? Are you talking nonsense with me?"

And Xue Long grinned and said, "Mr. Zhang, I know what you are worried about. Don't worry, this matter is also a coincidence. After I hung up your phone just now, I hurriedly went out to inquire about this matter. Unexpectedly, I met such a person on the way."

This was naturally something Zhang Lin never expected. It was not that he didn't believe in the existence of coincidence, the problem was that this was too coincidental, so coincidental that it didn't even look real.

Zhang Lin rubbed his eyebrows, then asked, "Xue Long, are you sure the person you met is the Heaven-Bestowed Singer? Not a charlatan?"

The reason he asked this was, on one hand, because this matter was indeed too coincidental. Zhang Lin had never thought that the matter of searching for the Heaven-Bestowed Singer would be so smooth.

There was another aspect, which was that Xue Long himself might be too eager for quick success and instant benefits, and he could not distinguish whether the other party was really the Heaven-Bestowed Singer.

And the next moment, Xue Long said directly, "Mr. Zhang, I have already let him sing a segment, and I will send it to you in a while."

This was the first task Zhang Lin gave to Xue Long. In fact, even if the other party didn't say it, Xue Long would not let excitement drown his reason and would definitely maintain an absolutely cautious attitude to deal with this task.

From this angle, Zhang Lin's worry was actually superfluous. But all of this, in the final analysis, was still testing this Xue Long from another angle, so Zhang Lin also had to carry such caution.

The next moment, Zhang Lin said, "Send it to me now, don't hang up the phone."

"Okay."

Xue Long didn't say a word and sent the recorded audio to Zhang Lin directly. Zhang Lin listened to the long, winding, and complex tone and nodded slowly.

A smile couldn't help but appear on the corner of his mouth. This was something he had completely not expected before. Xue Long had really hit the jackpot.

But in an instant, Zhang Lin's face suddenly became ugly. This matter was a bit evil. The so-called "if it's too strange, there must be a ghost" might refer to this current situation.

After thinking for a while, Zhang Lin couldn't help but ask, "Xue Long, what is this person's name?"

"Ake."

"Is he a Tibetan?" Zhang Lin continued to ask.

"This is really not. He originally worked here, and by coincidence, he stayed in Sichuan-Tibet."

By coincidence?

Hearing this, Zhang Lin became even more suspicious and asked again, "Have you asked him specifically?"

Xue Long was stunned and said, "This, I haven't. Didn't you tell me to be as polite as possible, so I didn't dare to ask more."

Zhang Lin pondered for a while and asked, "Ask about the situation and report to me tomorrow morning. If he doesn't want to say, then forget it."

Although Zhang Lin was suspicious about this matter, he couldn't really do anything to this person. After all, he still needed the things that this Heaven-Bestowed Singer mastered, and at the critical moment, the long poem he sang could also play a decisive role.

And now letting Xue Long talk to this person was just to confirm whether this person had any suspicion. If so, naturally, he had to let the Second Archaeological Team be on guard.

The current situation was only something Zhang Lin could fully grasp. The rest of the people were basically kept in the dark to a greater or lesser extent, but this was also something Zhang Lin had no choice about.

If he didn't do this, the Wang family side would certainly use this matter to make trouble. Zhang Lin certainly didn't worry about the Wang family, but this didn't mean that the two archaeological teams could sit back and relax.

In the end, it was still the same sentence. Zhang Lin did not lead the team personally, so the focus still had to be on them. Within the limited space, trying to be as comprehensive as possible, this was Zhang Lin's thought.

Hearing Zhang Lin say this, Xue Long agreed immediately. For Xue Long, what Zhang Lin said now was an absolute order, and he certainly dared not violate it. Under this premise, Xue Long also understood what was strange about this matter.

In fact, Xue Long also felt that this matter must have incomprehensible points. The key was that it was too coincidental. Based on this point, Xue Long was also suspicious at first, but in order to complete Zhang Lin's task, since this matter had been delivered to his door.

So Xue Long did not hold too many suspicious attitudes and directly took on this matter. Unexpectedly, this Ake really had a problem, and in the current situation, Xue Long also understood what choice he should make.

The next moment, Zhang Lin hung up the phone directly, and Xue Long also found that Ake. Regarding the next order, Xue Long did not rush to ask.

The key was that he understood that if he didn't handle this Ake, or didn't recognize where this Ake came from, they would always have no way to start.

Another point was that if it weren't for a cautious attitude, perhaps Zhang Lin would not have made such a choice. Xue Long was very clear about this point.

Although the time was already very late, Xue Long still had no scruples and found Ake directly.

Ake was still holding prayer beads at this time, murmuring in his mouth, and had not rested. Seeing Ake, Xue Long actually felt that this person, whether from his appearance or from the overall situation, did not give people a particularly strong sense of repulsion. This might be natural affinity.

Even if this person was unkempt, his peaceful state could still create an illusion for people.

However, the next moment, Xue Long told himself firmly in his heart that he must absolutely not be deceived by this illusion. Since Zhang Lin had already reminded him.

Then Xue Long had to raise his spirits to deal with this Ake. Unexpectedly, before he even got close to Ake, this person opened his eyes directly. Xue Long was not too surprised, but instead, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Immediately after, he asked, "Ake, the fact that we met is indeed too coincidental."

Xue Long went straight to the point. In fact, there was no other reason. The key was that Zhang Lin said it didn't matter whether the other party said it or not.

And Xue Long also understood that, in fact, the current words were to let him distinguish this matter through Ake's reaction, so as to report to Zhang Lin.

So Xue Long used the simplest way. He hoped to use such words to detect subtle changes in Ake's expression. Through this change in expression, he could also distinguish at the first moment whether what the other party said was true or false.
