Chapter 2021

Wang Canghai's expression tightened, and then he made a "shush" gesture. This gesture looked very strange coming from a middle-aged man.

Even the moment he made this gesture, the waiter at the bar looked over here, including the barista who was making coffee, all feeling very surprised.

But then they continued their work, because no matter how surprised they were, guests were guests.

By the same comparison, it was equivalent to the existence of someone beyond Zhang Lin and Wang Canghai that they couldn't describe in words. This was the point Zhang Lin was most worried about.

And such worry had already been interpreted by Zhang Lin before, but the thoughts in his heart hadn't been told to anyone, yet Zhang Lin's subsequent series of arrangements were all aimed at this kind of worry.

The reason Wang Canghai came with such strong confidence this time was because he understood Zhang Lin's potentially existing guesses.

He looked at Zhang Lin with calm eyes, but his heart was already churning. If Zhang Lin couldn't see this, then it would be great news for Wang Canghai, but just based on the sentence Zhang Lin said just now, Wang Canghai basically didn't hold such a beautiful dream anymore.

All these realistic situations proved that Zhang Lin had already paid attention.

Besides Wang Canghai, that mysterious existence, and what kind of results this other existence would trigger, even Wang Canghai, this so-called insider, couldn't predict. Through this, he also had the right to believe that in Zhang Lin's judgment, this matter couldn't get a result either.

However, although the gap between the two was small, having a gap and not having a gap were essentially different. This was the biggest trump card Wang Canghai thought he held in his hand.

And right now, Wang Canghai also felt it was time to play this card, otherwise there might never be another chance.

Zhang Lin acted much more decisively than he imagined. If the situation Wang Canghai worried about most really happened, then many subsequent things might continue to deteriorate further than now.

Wang Canghai was not the kind of blindly optimistic person; he understood that if this matter couldn't be solved within his cognitive scope, then what he saw before was definitely not the worst result.

Relatively speaking, the reality he couldn't accept might not have happened yet. If some things really happened above this scope...

Wang Canghai wouldn't even find a place to stay in the end, which would be the most difficult to handle.

But the next moment, Zhang Lin looked into Wang Canghai's eyes and said in a playful tone: "Let me guess, if one day you really lose, your final retreat is probably in that tomb, right?"

Hearing this, Wang Canghai stood up with a start. He looked at Zhang Lin with disbelief, his hands trembling when he raised them.

Wang Canghai never thought that Zhang Lin could predict things to such a step, but in an instant, Wang Canghai shook his head repeatedly, his expression dazed.

He lowered his voice and said: "Who exactly are you? Impossible! If you are just such a young man, you couldn't know these things, absolutely impossible!"

Zhang Lin chuckled and said: "In this world, not everything can be mastered by you, nor are all secrets buried in your heart. It's normal that you don't know some things. Three hundred years have passed, human cognition itself has changed, and you are still holding onto those unrealistic fantasies. Do you think it's realistic?"

Wang Canghai was even more surprised that Zhang Lin was talking to him about reality at this time. However, in a daze, through Zhang Lin's words, Wang Canghai suddenly realized that he had indeed deviated from the scope of reality.

Just as Zhang Lin said before, he seemed to have determined that he would win 100%. Under this premise, he dealt with everything in the way he imagined.

And then reality slapped him in the face directly. After several times, Wang Canghai still hadn't reacted. Zhang Lin saw Wang Canghai's expression.

He spoke slowly and continued: "Now you understand what I said, right? You coming to see me is nothing more than wanting to exchange for what you want to get from me through that sentence just now."
