Chapter 2161

It seemed they had already been manipulated by an invisible pair of hands, and the mastermind behind all of this was very likely Zhang Lin. Now, as long as the Wang family members understood the baseline of Zhang Lin, they instinctively felt a trace of fear regarding many things.

Originally, the Wang family members felt they were invincible, that no one could stop them from doing what they wanted, but now they dared not think that way. Perhaps it was also because Shen Qiong's betrayal had led them to have such thoughts.

On the other side, Ga Wa did not care at all whether anyone had betrayed the Wang family, and the reason Mr. Wang had arranged for Ga Wa to do this in the first place was not because the other party was particularly loyal, but precisely because this person was dispensable; he was not that loyal to the Wang family.

He also lacked the pure faith of Wang Cen. Based on this, Mr. Wang felt most at ease sending him out. At that time, Mr. Wang had already thought about how to betray, and with this matter pushed to this node, even if Mr. Wang wanted to turn back, it was impossible.

He had to make the corresponding choice without hesitation to be considered as helping himself and helping his subordinates solve all problems. Once such a thought was generated, it would absolutely not be dampened by the decisions of certain people.

Mr. Wang was very certain of this answer. Now, Mr. Wang did not care at all about whether Ga Wa lived or died. On the contrary, he truly hoped that Wang Cen would take the initiative to contact him. If Wang Cen were willing to stop now and let him know that the things he insisted on were meaningless—nothing more than making wedding clothes for Wang Zanghai—

they could not achieve immortality, let alone become immortals. Since that was the case, why continue to persist?

If Wang Cen could discover this and stop in time, Mr. Wang was also convinced that he could take Wang Cen and hide until Wang Zanghai completely disappeared from this world, and Wang Cen could help him rebuild a new Wang family.

Although he had taken away the most core members of the Wang family, Mr. Wang was still very certain of one thing: he was currently short of manpower. Based on this, if more people could help him, then for Mr. Wang, it was naturally something he would be delighted to have.

Unfortunately, these things could not be pushed to a realistic situation now. Mr. Wang also knew that everything was just him talking to himself; he was not even sure if Wang Cen, even after hearing his plan, held a loyal attitude.

If the other party betrayed him, or from his perspective, did not care at all whether this matter happened or not, and he was only loyal to the core of the Wang family—

and not to him, Mr. Wang, then what should be done?

From this line of thought, one could also see that Mr. Wang was indeed quite clever. At the very least, what Wang Cen said to Wang Zanghai just now did indeed reveal this point; he stated without hesitation that all his loyalty was inclined toward the Wang family itself, and not even toward Mr. Wang.

Then it was fortunate that Mr. Wang did not make the choice he had in mind. If he had tipped off Wang Cen in advance, the other party would not have stood on his side, and if Wang Zanghai had contacted Wang Cen at that time, the result would have become even more terrifying.

Unfortunately, Heaven still helped Mr. Wang; at the very least, Wang Zanghai had not found the most suitable time node, and the realistic situation was one Mr. Wang could accept, while Wang Zanghai was already in this most awkward situation.

Everything was already beyond his control; he could only passively submit to these things, and furthermore, the initiative for all subsequent matters was still in Wang Cen's hands. For Wang Zanghai, in the past, he would have died rather than accept such a result, but now, even if he did not want to accept it, he had to.

After thinking this through, Wang Zanghai became silent.

Not a word was spoken throughout the night. When the members of the Archaeological Team 2 woke up, they didn't have any other feelings, because the place where they were currently located had a great connection to the Dragon Peak they were going to later.

But since the karmic fire below had already emerged, ultimately they didn't need to worry too much, and the location pointed to by this tomb itself was the direction they were going to next.

Although this matter had not been verified by Zhang Lin, even Xue Long did not want to disturb Zhang Lin to ask about the situation.

Now Zhang Lin had placed all his focus on Archaeological Team 2. Although he had sent a text message to Wu Ya, he did not tell Archaeological Team 2 what choices to make next. In fact, this was a subtle acknowledgment of Yang Lusi's deduction; they could just continue according to Yang Lusi's subsequent thoughts.

There was no need to notify anything in advance. Zhang Lin was more certain of this than anyone else. Since he was certain of this idea, Zhang Lin would not perform any other actions.

That would only make those watching the live stream more suspicious, and Zhang Lin's subsequent purpose and the previous events were also corroborated from the side.

Many of his actions had already aroused the suspicion of the crowd, who believed that his relationship with Yang Lusi was extraordinary. Now, Zhang Lin was increasingly certain that he must suppress this idea as quickly as possible.

At the very least, while Wang Zanghai was still alive and could still make active choices, he must absolutely not let the other party know that he had such thoughts. This matter could be big or small.

Wang Zanghai had already guessed this, but he was not 100% sure yet. Even in such a situation, Wang Zanghai desperately wanted to retaliate against Yang Lusi, thereby indirectly retaliating against Zhang Lin.

Since he saw this situation clearly, Zhang Lin believed he had an obligation to protect Yang Lusi. Under this premise, Zhang Lin acted even more unobtrusively than before, and even later at the Crescent Hotel, Zhang Lin would not make these things particularly obvious.

He would only guide Archaeological Team 2 from the side to find the direction for these subsequent matters, give them a simple guide, and finally let Yang Lusi throw out the result of the problem.
