Chapter 2321: A single person trying to snatch the Dust-Exterminating Bead? What a fantasy!

So, the next moment, he said: "What else do you want Su Nan to do later? Don't tell me you think that relying on Su Nan's strength alone, she can really obtain the Dust-Exterminating Bead?"

Even though he had already been led by the nose by the other party and had fallen completely into a passive position, Wang Cang still spoke with immense assertiveness at this moment.

This might just be Wang Cang's style of doing things, and at the same time, it was perfectly consistent with how his subordinates understood this boss of theirs.

Wang Cang not only had to take Wang Canghai into account but also had to make his subordinates feel that he was still capable of commanding respect. Once he lost these things, Wang Cang's path ahead would become even more difficult.

Wang Canghai was taken aback; even he hadn't expected that Wang Cang could still speak to him with such a tone at this time.

However, immediately after, Wang Canghai smiled and shook his head, then spoke slowly: "Why couldn't she? Don't tell me you think Su Nan's ability is that much worse than yours?"

Wang Cang gave a cold laugh and replied unceremoniously: "Even if there were ten of me, I wouldn't be a match for Yang Lu at the Second Archaeological Team. Don't forget, there is also Zhang Lin behind her."

Although he had already acknowledged Zhang Lin's strength, whenever his subordinates mentioned to him just how formidable Zhang Lin was, Wang Canghai would always be indignant at the first instance.

He couldn't help but snort coldly and said: "I admit that I cannot defeat Zhang Lin right now, but this game of chess hasn't reached the end yet, so you cannot conclude that I have failed."

"Remember this: if you are willing to obey my orders and continue to stay in the First Archaeological Team, then even if Su Nan doesn't end up with the Dust-Exterminating Bead, I still have a way to save her. But if you don't listen to my orders, you know what will happen. I am not joking with you."

Wang Canghai's tone grew increasingly cold, and he used this method to tell Wang Cang that he had no interest in bickering with him about these useless things anymore; he just needed him to act according to his orders.

Asking anything more would only invite his displeasure and make Su Nan's situation even more difficult.

Wang Cang took a deep breath, barely calming his emotions. In truth, he also knew that the other party was right; now that he had lost all initiative,

saying anything more was meaningless. He could only do as the other party said; this was the only way he could help Su Nan.

Just as Wang Cang was about to make another guarantee, he didn't expect that the other party had already hung up the phone. This behavior once again proved Wang Canghai's determination.

Wang Canghai had even once thought about going directly to the First Archaeological Team in the past few hours to confront Wang Cang face-to-face and tell him in the most realistic way that he was Wang Canghai.

With such an identity, even if Wang Cang wasn't one hundred percent loyal to him, at the very least, he would be loyal to his former faith. In that case, Wang Canghai's subsequent matters would be much easier to handle.

But in the end, Wang Canghai held back. Perhaps he understood that doing so would be meaningless. Even if he proved he was himself, and it was only in front of Wang Cang alone, what about all the others later?

Wang Canghai had done so many things, covering his identity on one hand while secretly using his status to try and obtain those things that could help him achieve immortality—not just the Dust-Exterminating Bead, but the previous Sixteen Portraits of the Banished Immortal were the same.

Because of the collapse of the Insect Valley, he had long since given up on the Sixteen Portraits of the Banished Immortal, but the Dust-Exterminating Bead was always in Yang Lu's hands, so he would absolutely not give up on this matter.

On Wang Cang's side, after the phone was hung up, he sighed helplessly. According to Wang Canghai's description just now, this was likely not the best time to call. Even if Su Nan had the heart to answer his call, she would likely be wary of Yang Lu and not dare to pick up.

Having figured this out, Wang Cang simply gave up on his previous plan, waiting quietly for everything to unfold, and then deciding on a response—that was the best method.

Looking at the Second Archaeological Team, Su Nan watched Yang Lu's burning gaze, waiting for a long time before she dared to speak.

"Team Leader Yang, can I understand that you are already giving me a chance? Or rather, giving me a way to survive?"

Yang Lu smiled indifferently and said: "Actually, I don't care about that matter regarding the Wang family you mentioned. If Mr. Zhang really wanted to target the Wang family, I believe he wouldn't need anyone as an inside agent, nor would he need you to betray the Wang family's information. He would definitely have a way to make everyone in the Wang family truly disappear from this world."

Even at a time like this, Yang Lu didn't forget to interpret a fact from Zhang Lin's perspective. Perhaps those who didn't know the inside story would think Yang Lu was definitely boasting.

An existence like the Wang family couldn't be completely wiped out by a single casual sentence from someone. The current Wang family had merely disbanded, and the original members of the Wang family were hiding in unknown corners of the world. ===== CHAPTER 2322 =====
