Chapter 1935

He wasn't being coerced by him, but someone like Wang Wang Canghai could never see through the surface phenomenon to grasp the most essential core—especially when it came to matters of feeling.

He assumed that since Xue Long had followed him for so many years, he must share certain of his own thoughts, and bolstered by this assumed alignment, Wang Wang Canghai grew even more reckless about what would come next.

But this time he was simply wrong. If Xue Long were truly the kind of opportunistic villain who would disregard anyone's life and safety for his own benefit, he probably wouldn't have survived until today.

Zhang Lin, whether intentionally or not, also saw this quality in Xue Long, which was why he chose to provisionally accept Xue Long's surrender—though Zhang Lin had never promised Xue Long that he would definitely help him resolve the aftereffects left by the experiments on his body.

Including the side effects of the Corpse-Gu Beetle Pill that later surfaced. But as long as Xue Long performed well this time, Zhang Lin certainly wouldn't be stingy about stepping in to help him solve this problem.

Presumably Xue Long should have understood the subtext Zhang Lin was conveying; otherwise, at this point in time, he wouldn't have come to Yang Lu with such sincerity to discuss the subsequent matters.

Since he had clearly seen how all these situations had unfolded, then Xue Long at this moment—including everything he had done before—must certainly be leaning toward the Second Archaeology Team.

Looking at Yang Lu now, watching the state she was displaying, he said in a clear voice: "Mr. Ak, I don't know where exactly you come from, and I'm not the least bit interested in your identity. What matters is whether you can help us. This matter comes from the direction of the person behind me—you may not know him, but we obey his commands without question."

In fact, at this moment, upon hearing Yang Lu say these words, Xue Long's eyes were full of bewilderment. Perhaps in his view, from whatever angle one looked at it, there was no need for Yang Lu to discuss these things with the other party.

What could be used to leverage the other party was perhaps only the poems he controlled, and what exactly this so-called long poem was for, Xue Long still couldn't figure out at present.

But since this was Zhang Lin's order, he would certainly obey it one hundred percent. Moreover, every member of the Second Archaeology Team felt the same way in their hearts. The key point was that Yang Lu seemed to be speaking to the other party with a tone of earnest advice.

In Xue Long's view, this was completely unnecessary. One only needed to let the other party understand the stakes of the matter and make him realize how extremely urgent the current situation was. Under such circumstances, even if the other party refused, he had ways to make him agree.

Before meeting Yang Lu, Xue Long would certainly have followed Zhang Lin's instructions, but if Yang Lu truly intended to use extreme measures in this matter, then Xue Long would definitely directly cooperate with her to see everything through.

Because in Xue Long's view, while he might not be able to defy Zhang Lin's orders, the relationship between Yang Lu and Zhang Lin had already fermented within the livestream to an unsurpassable degree.

Whenever anyone brought up this matter, it would surely set off a storm of shock. The reason the livestream chat wasn't discussing this right now was partly because the Second Archaeology Team's livestream had been shut down, and they had all run over to the First Archaeology Team's side.

Another reason was that no one took the initiative to bring it up—after all, the Second Archaeology Team was still in crisis, and discussing this matter would clearly show a profound lack of respect for this leader of the Tomb Movers.

Taken together, these two points led to their subsequent choice. However, Yang Lu actually no longer cared about any of these things at present.

After all, the message Zhang Lin had sent her from within the New Moon Restaurant was already very clear: as long as she continued down the path according to her own ideas, then everything was already a foregone conclusion.
