Chapter 1925

Because he had already suffered losses in this area before, and now this Wang Cen was trying to turn hostility into friendship — from this angle, it proved the other party really had no good intentions. After figuring this out, Wu Tianzhen took a deep breath.

Then, with a half-smile, he looked at the other party and slowly said, "Wang Cen, right? Your performance in Archaeology Team Two earlier was plain to me. I have to admit you're quite capable, and you've got brains. I think your presence would actually affect our cooperation."

"How about this — Archaeology Team One continues cooperating with the group Su Nan brought, but you have to disappear. Of course, I'm not planning to kill you, just that you leave here and go far away."

Saying this, Wu Tianzhen glanced at Zhang Tianshi, and Zhang Tianshi stepped forward two paces, his gaze burning as he stared at this Wang Cen.

Actually, Zhang Tianshi had no objections to the plan Wu Tianzhen proposed — most matters in Archaeology Team One were decided by Wu Tianzhen anyway.

Zhang Tianshi was only in Archaeology Team One as a team member, but in most situations Wu Tianzhen definitely couldn't order him around. Between them they were like brothers, and neither would truly take offense at the other's words.

It's just that when it came to right and wrong, once Zhang Tianshi said something, Wu Tianzhen basically wouldn't think twice before adopting it on the spot.

Because Zhang Tianshi's usual style was exactly that — whenever he voiced an opinion, it meant he had thought it through carefully. So Wu Tianzhen agreeing on the spot was absolutely no problem; it was also out of respect for the other's strength and vision.

The reverse was true as well. That was the main reason Zhang Tianshi now stepped forward two paces and looked at this Wang Cen. If Wang Cen was now secretly tailing them from behind using his movement technique, that was possible, and at this moment Wu Tianzhen looking at Zhang Tianshi was meant to make Wang Cen understand.

As long as he followed them within a dangerous range, Zhang Tianshi would absolutely spot him on the spot — if he was still tailing them.

Zhang Tianshi would probably strike on the spot. Based on the strength Wang Cen had shown earlier, Wu Tianzhen basically confirmed on the spot that Wang Cen's strength was definitely below Yang Lu of Archaeology Team Two.

This also proved that the other's strength was definitely no match for Zhang Tianshi.

After figuring this out, Wu Tianzhen naturally brought Zhang Tianshi out on the spot; the meaning was very clear. Put plainly, it was to intimidate the other party. And if you can't accept this, then there's no need for us to keep talking.

Actually, Wu Tianzhen didn't really want to use this method to make Wang Cen stop following. The fact that Wang Cen had come here meant he definitely wouldn't let go of the subsequent matters, and Wu Tianzhen also wanted to seize this chance to use some method to take Wang Cen out directly.

What Archaeology Team Two failed to do — although he didn't want to overstep his authority, as a brother team, since the chance was there, he felt that even if he really made such a decision, Yang Lu definitely wouldn't blame him.

Based on this, it led to Wu Tianzhen using this method at this moment — the so-called "loosen the reins to catch the horse" — to make the other party make a different decision regarding what came next.

If, after he said these words, the other party still clung to that persistent mindset and wanted to follow them, then the outcome this matter itself produced couldn't be blamed on Wu Tianzhen being ruthless.

Afterward, it would also count as helping Yang Lu of Archaeology Team Two resolve a thorn in her heart — that was the core purpose of Wu Tianzhen saying these words.

Wang Cen was a smart man; he could understand what the core purpose was of Wu Tianzhen saying these words and having Zhang Tianshi step forward.

But ultimately, Wang Cen was still pondering another layer of potential meaning — he was also suspecting whether the other party actually wanted to use a "loosen the reins to catch the horse" method to force him into the trap.

That is, the other party wasn't sincerely trying to stop him from continuing to follow Archaeology Team One, but instead used this method to make him stubbornly persist.
