Chapter 2375
"We have already run out. Even if Zhang Lin and the authorities are too excessive, that is a matter for later. Now their attention is all on the two archaeological teams. Those scattered soldiers outside simply cannot affect us."
Mr. Wang heard these words and showed a bitter smile, then said, "You simply don't understand what the key is here."
Mr. Wang, who wanted to continue explaining, suddenly stopped his tone, and his subordinate frowned slightly.
From yesterday until now, the other party had stopped talking more than once, but he couldn't mention any problems. He could only let these inexplicable things happen. He felt that Mr. Wang had really changed.
At least in the past, no matter what happened, Mr. Wang was always that confident. And over these years, the crises the Wang family had encountered were not few. After all, it was a behemoth, and it was not easy to reach today.
Why could he handle such crises with ease, but suddenly became like this? Actually, the key to this still lies in Wang Canghai, including Zhang Lin at the Crescent Hotel. Unfortunately, Wang Canghai's identity absolutely cannot be exposed by Mr. Wang right now.
If he said this, he was really worried that the team he was leading now would mutiny. After all, the ratio controlled by the Wang family...
... the most basic principles were still formulated according to Wang Canghai. That is to say, the Wang family they were loyal to, and the kind of faith in their hearts, all came from Wang Canghai.
Even if many people could react, as long as there were some with malicious intentions mixed in, this problem would be infinitely magnified. So Mr. Wang certainly wouldn't make such a choice.
Mr. Wang, who had figured this out, could only remain silent and not say another word. His subordinate was confused, but finally shook his head and didn't ask anything else.
Perhaps from his perspective, he also understood that asking so many questions was meaningless. It was better to follow the principles of being a Wang family member and do everything according to Mr. Wang's orders, absolutely not saying a word of "no".
This was the only thing he could do!
Looking at the other side, Wu Ya, who hung up the phone, couldn't help but fall into deep thought. If at first she didn't have a shred of belief in this so-called identity of Mr. Wang...
... but with the last sentence Mr. Wang said, she couldn't help but believe it. Or rather, now she basically had 80% belief.
After all, not many people know about the Cloud Top Heaven Palace and King Wannu. Even if Zhang Lin had mentioned it at the Crescent Hotel before, at this time, it is better to believe it exists than to believe it doesn't!
As Zhang Lin's assistant, even if Zhang Lin hadn't told her directly about the curiosity toward King Wannu and how dangerous everything hidden behind this was...
... but relying on Wu Ya's current intelligence, she could intuitively guess that this must involve some unpredictable and earth-shattering conspiracy. It is possible that after Zhang Lin uncovers it with his own methods, he could save many people. Under this premise, the first thing Wu Ya thought of was to notify Zhang Lin immediately.
However, Zhang Lin was at the Crescent Hotel at this moment. Wu Ya couldn't help but sigh. Even if this matter really turned out to be her making a mountain out of a molehill and she would be reprimanded by Zhang Lin, she still had to tell the other party. At the same time, Wu Ya felt a sense of mission in her heart.
From the time she became Zhang Lin's assistant until now, Wu Ya had always felt that she was like a drag, unable to help Zhang Lin solve any problems in a realistic sense. But now everything had become different.
Wu Ya, along with this phone call and the things she had done when she came to the First Archaeological Team before, felt that she could help Zhang Lin solve some problems.
This was also the place worth her rejoicing. Based on the principle of "better to believe it exists than to believe it doesn't," Wu Ya had already firmed up her attitude at this time: she must tell Zhang Lin.
And when Zhang Lin walked out of the venue, she would call the other party without hesitation.
Wu Ya has one good point: as long as she is sure of something, she will absolutely not struggle with it for another half-second. This point is stronger than both Yang Lusi and Wu Tianzhen.
Because as team leaders of the archaeological teams, every decision they make involves not only themselves but also their teammates. If a wrong decision leads to a crisis...
... and if it costs lives, they will also blame themselves. So in the stage when things happen, they inevitably fall into a state of struggle.
But looking at Wu Ya's situation, it was not that complicated. She just needed to complete what she was supposed to do, and didn't need to think that much. After Wu Ya hung up the phone, Wu Tianzhen in the distance also saw the situation here.
He had been chatting with Wang Cen for a long time, but actually there was no focus; he was just chatting casually to probe for some information from the side. However, Wang Cen was not a fool.
Even under this situation, he still maintained caution, because the more difficult it is to make a choice, the more one cannot just find someone and pour one's heart out. He was very clear about this point.
The bargaining chips he held in his hand were only those. If he revealed his trump cards in advance, it would be even harder for him to keep secrets later. The key is that now, protecting his own life is also protecting Su Nan's life. If he died, and something dangerous really happened to Su Nan...
... he believed that the mysterious person behind the scenes would choose to abandon Su Nan immediately, rather than trying every possible way to protect her safety. Even if the other party wanted the Chicken-Crested Serpent Pearl so much, the more such a person is, the less they would choose to sacrifice their own life for others.
The Chicken-Crested Serpent Pearl is certainly important, or rather, he wants to use the Chicken-Crested Serpent Pearl to become an immortal. But from a selfish perspective, if he couldn't survive, then the matter of becoming an immortal would be even more ridiculous.
However, even now, Wang Cen concluded that even if the other party obtained the Chicken-Crested Serpent Pearl, the matter of becoming an immortal would definitely be nonsense. This is the logic a normal person should have.
Things like becoming an immortal can just be taken as a joke. Even if such a thing really exists, it is not so easy to achieve.
From the perspective of eternal life, one should be able to distinguish it. Eternal life, from an objective sense, everyone knows it exists. Of course, this was only after the Corpse-Beetle Pills and Sea Monkeys were exposed that they would have such thoughts. But so what if it exists?
It is destined to become a walking corpse; that kind of eternal life has no meaning.
Based on this, they were very clear about how they should choose next. And those who coveted eternal life were also very certain of one answer: they had to wait and see, and wait for the next change in things before they could make some subjective choices.
If things were not as they imagined, then what they needed to do next was to abandon this stupid idea and quietly live out the rest of their lives.
