Chapter 2307: The plan aborted early? Absolutely not!

~7 min read 1,321 words

After all, this kind of thought was something that would happen within his cognition, so there was no need to show any other expression.

On the contrary, Wang Canghai, seeing Yang Lusi smash down the Vajra Umbrella from the far end of the video, was just like everyone in the live broadcast room—he opened his mouth wide in astonishment, unable to speak, and his thoughts even stalled at that moment.

According to Wang Canghai's thinking, no matter how crazy Yang Lusi was, she wouldn't go so far as to do things so absolutely.

Anyone, when doing anything, must always think about leaving themselves some retreat; if Yang Lusi really did things so absolutely, Wang Canghai might not be able to say he wouldn't burn his bridges.

What he heard from Zhang Lin at the beginning wasn't true fear that the other party would threaten him, but rather that after some secrets were revealed, the threats brought by others were even more terrifying.

Zhang Lin had grasped this lifeline of Wang Canghai's and restrained him from the side, which led to Wang Canghai having no choice at this moment.

In other words, Wang Canghai was still convinced that Zhang Lin's threat wasn't the true focus; all of this just stemmed from the things hidden behind it—this was the final answer.

But at this moment, Zhang Lin didn't care about these; whether Wang Canghai's cognition was that the threat came from him or not, as long as Zhang Lin's goal was achieved, it was fine. Anyway, there were so many people who feared him, one more like Wang Canghai didn't matter. At the beginning of dealing with Wang Canghai, Zhang Lin had still held a gaming mindset.

But once this mindset disappeared, it was the moment Wang Canghai was truly in danger; accompanied by this danger, Wang Canghai's cognition would still have corresponding deviations, which was also the reason for his inevitable failure in the end.

Furthermore, Wang Canghai had been considering how to negotiate terms with Su Nan after she joined the second archaeological team, and he felt that even feigning betrayal would be perfectly fine.

However, Yang Lusi striking directly was completely outside Wang Canghai's range of cognition; now, panic appeared in his eyes again. Since he hadn't considered this point, it proved that all the plans Wang Canghai had been thinking about were arrangements for what to do after this matter succeeded.

Perhaps he would secretly contact Su Nan and direct the other party on what specific choices to make.

Now, everything had gone horribly wrong, and with this deviation, Wang Canghai stood up again and paced back and forth in the room, wondering if he should quickly contact Su Nan and have her withdraw first—after all, as long as a person was alive, there was a chance and a specific direction for a counterattack.

Also, he had just been thinking about sparing no effort to use this method to transfer Wang Cen to the Second Archaeological Team, putting all matters of the First Archaeological Team aside for the time being; he even thought that at that time, Zhang Lin's expression might be as astonished as his own.

Wang Canghai believed that in Zhang Lin's view, he might spare no cost to guard the secrets of the Cloud Top Palace, but when Wang Canghai finally chose to burn his bridges, it would be to abandon the Cloud Top Palace and let the First Archaeological Team explore it; his final goal was to get the Dust-Bead.

Thereby, he himself would also reach the inside of the Kunlun Divine Palace, find that instrument, and then complete his dream of becoming an immortal; at that time, whether it was the Wan Nu King or the people or things hidden behind it, none would be able to bring him any threat—this was also the most important link in Wang Canghai's subsequent plans.

But if Su Nan hadn't succeeded from the beginning, even if Wang Canghai did this, the result he would get in return would definitely not be what he imagined.

The purpose of Wang Canghai arranging this plan was to achieve coordination from inside and outside; Wang Cen could kill his way in from the outside, but that person on the inside couldn't gain a shred of Yang Lusi's trust, and might even be finished off directly by Yang Lusi.

Then his previous method of coordination from inside and outside was destined to vanish like a bubble.

Wang Canghai was even so anxious at this moment that he began to hammer his own head; a moment later, he calmed down slightly and turned his head to look at the live broadcast again, because Wang Canghai knew very well that anxiety couldn't solve any problems.

Seeing how Su Nan would choose next, he also suddenly thought that Yang Lusi had suddenly stopped when she saw the others from the Second Archaeological Team coming over; perhaps there was still a turning point in this matter.

At the same time, believing that Su Nan could use her own way to lobby the other party and make them retract their previous thoughts, Wang Canghai watched this scene full of expectation.

Looking at the Second Archaeological Team, at this moment, it was actually Shen Qiong who first shone the flashlight on Su Nan's group; Su Nan led her people to retreat quietly a few steps, standing within a relatively safe range, also fearing that Yang Lusi would strike again.

This time, if Yang Lusi moved, it wouldn't just be her own problem; the others in the Second Archaeological Team would definitely follow up, and then a big fight would break out.

At that time, they would also be placed in a more dangerous situation, and Su Nan couldn't even guarantee if she could use this dimness to escape back; this was the most awkward situation.

And Shen Qiong gasped when she saw Su Nan's face; it wasn't that Shen Qiong would be nervous when another Wang family member stood before her, or that she was afraid the other party would reveal her identity, causing her to be at a loss—Shen Qiong would have worried about these things before, but now these were not problems Shen Qiong needed to consider.

After all, everything had been prepared beforehand; in other words, Yang Lusi had already accepted her background, and the identity of being a Wang family member had been thoroughly erased.

Facing the trust given by Yang Lusi, Shen Qiong naturally wouldn't let the other party down, and in subsequent matters, she also used her actual actions to prove to Yang Lusi that she was indeed sincere about wanting to join the Second Archaeological Team.

If one were to say Yang Lusi had even a tiny bit of suspicion about Shen Qiong at the beginning, then now, that suspicion had vanished along with everything else.

The reason Shen Qiong had such an expression was because Su Nan had been staying well in the First Archaeological Team, and later they also heard from the official side that Wang Cen and Su Nan had a falling out, leading Su Nan to leave the First Archaeological Team directly; this could also be considered a disguised defection from the Wang family.

But in reality, since the Wang family was already gone, this defection was fundamentally non-existent; all of this was Su Nan's own choice, and others couldn't intervene. Perhaps the reason Wang Cen did that was, on one hand, because his obsessive loyalty to the Wang family made him unable to make such a brainless choice.

Of course, Shen Qiong also thought of another point: as a Wang family member, she naturally understood the extent of the relationship between Wang Cen and Su Nan.

The two's feelings were indeed very good, even somewhat indescribable; based on this, if Wang Cen did this, it was very likely a disguised way of protecting Su Nan.
