Chapter 2149: Expediency in an emergency! Is being flustered useful?

~7 min read 1,290 words

Now he used this most intuitive way to ask Zhang Lin this question.

Zhang Lin on the other end of the phone shook his head helplessly and said: "Of course there is another arrangement, and it is a world-shaking event. However, I will definitely not tell you about this matter."

"I can briefly describe it to you: if you give up now, you still have a chance to linger on. If you don't give up, as my plan unfolds step by step, in the end, your life will be worse than death. You have let other people experience all kinds of feelings of life being worse than death your whole life; I wonder how you will face it when these things happen to you?"

After saying this, Zhang Lin couldn't help but let out a cackling cold laugh.

And listening to this dense cold laughter, Wang Canghai felt his scalp go numb.

If anyone else had said this to him, Wang Canghai would definitely have dismissed it with disdain. After all, these were the words he once used to threaten others, and from a realistic perspective, Wang Canghai could indeed do what he said.

But it just so happened that the person saying this to him this time was Zhang Lin, and the other party had already proven with actions that he could indeed do many things. Under this premise, Wang Canghai had to admit that he was a little panicked.

Wang Canghai tried hard to calm his emotions. He thought to himself that he had misread the problem this time again.

He originally hoped that through this matter, that is, his call with Zhang Lin, he could make the other party understand that he no longer had the slightest worry, and then disrupt Zhang Lin's rhythm.

Who would have thought that in the end, it would still be this result.

Although it seemed to be just a lighthearted call, Wang Canghai understood that the things that could be influenced simply because of this call were too many.

Wang Canghai was worried about these things, and if such things were endless, and Zhang Lin used all kinds of methods to force him to compromise, he simply couldn't find any good way to handle this matter.

The current Wang Canghai told himself that he could no longer wait. Perhaps any waiting or delay, no matter how small, would let Zhang Lin succeed.

It was not that he hadn't thought that Zhang Lin made a call just to force him to make a wrong choice in a panic, but some choices, even if wrong, were better than doing nothing.

Wang Canghai was quite determined about this point. After figuring all this out, Wang Canghai did not hesitate anymore. He immediately picked up the Wang family's phone and dialed Wang Cen again.

Even Wang Cen did not expect that he would receive Wang Canghai's call again so soon. At first, Wang Canghai wanted to wait for some time so that all the situations could calm down, and then he would make the next arrangement.

At least that way, he wouldn't fall into Zhang Lin's trap due to some decision-making errors. But now, he could no longer think about problems from that angle. After Wang Canghai was determined about this point, he dialed the other party's phone in a hurry.

After Wang Cen picked up the phone, he immediately asked: "Could it be that you want to change the plan?"

The so-called plan was naturally the situation Wang Canghai had thought about appearing on the periphery of the Cloud Top Heaven Palace, and he had never guided them on how to proceed next.

But Wang Canghai immediately said: "I don't want to change the plan; I just want to ask you who Mr. Wang sent to the second archaeological team?"

This was the question Wang Canghai was eager to ask, and it was also to quickly make the next response.

Zhang Lin, who had already hung up the phone on the other side, was already prepared to rest. He knew that after Wang Canghai finished this call with him, he would definitely make the choice he thought was right at the first moment.

Moreover, Wang Canghai did not show enough patience, and even in this psychological game, Wang Canghai had already lost completely.

No matter what thoughts he held subsequently, they would definitely not be realized. Zhang Lin was more certain of this than anyone else.

And the things Wang Canghai was doing now just happened to confirm Zhang Lin's thoughts.

Hearing Wang Canghai ask this, Wang Cen couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly, and then said: "I know the purpose of you asking this question, but I still can't trust you regarding this matter now."

"Don't talk about trust or distrust! Expediency in an emergency! Half a minute before I called you, I had already talked to Zhang Lin."

"That guy pushed things to a point I couldn't accept. If Zhang Lin is allowed to continue like this, then our last hope will also disappear."

What Wang Canghai said now was all the truth, and he also wanted to make the other party feel the urgency by telling the truth like this.

Time was already so short; if he continued to worry about those messy things, it would only make the things they had to do later more and more troublesome.

He hoped that Wang Cen could understand such a simple truth, and regarding this matter, if it could not be solved in the end, who knows what kind of price would be paid.

Wang Canghai hoped with all his heart that Wang Cen would tell him quickly.

But the next moment, what he heard was the busy tone on the other end of the phone. Wang Canghai was stunned. He did not expect such a situation to happen. Even if the other party could not fully trust him, because of the foreshadowing made by the previous call, at the very least, Wang Cen would not make such an arbitrary act now.

Wang Canghai was completely confused. He suddenly thought, could it be that this was the way Zhang Lin arranged for him to make this call in the chaos, and then completely lose all choice?

From the beginning, he was convinced that his only hope was to command Wang Cen.

And knowing who was sent to the second archaeological team and who the leader was, under this premise, Wang Canghai could make arrangements. If he lost this only advantage, then Wang Canghai's continued command would have no meaning.

He was clearer about this than anyone else.

But it just so happened that Wang Cen did not give him this opportunity at all.

Wang Canghai took a deep breath. This time, no matter what, he couldn't calm down. He picked up the phone and wanted to call the other party again. Just as the last number was pressed, Wang Canghai suddenly hung up. He knew that if he could control himself now and not call frequently.

Perhaps Wang Cen wouldn't have too many doubts. Although Wang Cen had already started to doubt him now, as the situation developed, Wang Cen would definitely be able to calm down.

What he said before was a nailed-down fact. Wang Cen now had no other choice. Since his choice had already become unbalanced in subjective intention, the only thing to do was to believe in himself, nothing else.

And when this major premise was no longer there, there would be no more room for choice later. He believed that Wang Cen should be able to figure out this shallow truth.

Having figured this out, Wang Canghai shook his head. He hoped his thoughts were correct.
