Chapter 2401: The cooperation of the Wang family

Zhang Tianshi immediately discerned that Wu Tianzhen must have his own reasons for doing this, so he could set his mind at ease.

There was no need to worry about Wu Tianzhen's subsequent actions. In fact, even if Wu Tianzhen hadn't signaled Zhang Tianshi at this moment, he wouldn't have needed to overthink it.

After all, Wu Tianzhen was not Wang Pangzi; he would not make any impulsive choices at a time like this. The more turbulent the undercurrents, the more one must maintain inner peace—this was Wu Tianzhen's character.

Wang Pangzi, who was still in a coma, naturally could not interfere with any of Wu Tianzhen's thoughts.

Zhang Tianshi expressed understanding for this behavior of his, and at the same time, subconsciously glanced at Wu Ya. He immediately understood what was going on: something must have happened on Wu Ya's end.

And because she wanted to contact Zhang Lin privately to report directly to him, she had caused the First Archaeological Team to make this choice. Otherwise, according to Wu Ya's usual habits, no matter what happened, she generally would not interfere too much.

After all, Wu Ya's position in the First Archaeological Team was quite awkward; if she spoke too much, it would attract the attention of most people.

What she said was not important; the key was that everyone would think she was expressing an opinion only because she was Zhang Lin's assistant, which led to the corresponding remarks.

Wu Ya, not wanting such things to happen, could only remain silent about many things. Therefore, once this unconventional choice was made, any of the three members of the First Archaeological Team, as long as they saw the situation, would definitely cooperate with the other party immediately. This was to give Wu Ya face, and even more so, to give Zhang Lin face.

However, the fact that the three of them had such tacit understanding did not mean that the others in the First Archaeological Team could similarly sense Wu Tianzhen's intentions at this moment, so they did not head toward Zhang Tianshi's direction immediately.

Instead, they continued to pause and cast inquiring glances toward Wu Tianzhen. At this time, Wu Tianzhen naturally would not bother with these; he left everything to be handled by Zhang Tianshi.

Zhang Tianshi coughed once. Always a man of few words, he issued the same order. Based on this premise, even if they didn't want to move forward, they had to continue downward!

In reality, many of those who stopped were instinctively just worried about Wu Tianzhen; the fact that Zhang Lin walked out of the Crescent Hotel had already left everyone feeling uneasy.

If Wu Tianzhen were to make some extreme choice at this moment, it would make matters even more troublesome.

Now that they had the approval of Zhang Tianshi, they realized that Wu Tianzhen was definitely not the impulsive type; with this premise, they had to trust their team leader.

In fact, Zhang Lin had repeatedly emphasized that Yang Lu was the only person in the Second Archaeological Team, which made her appear somewhat isolated and helpless.

If they truly encountered something particularly troublesome, the only person they could truly rely on was Yang Lu, whereas the First Archaeological Team had three people.

However, there was one point Zhang Lin had unintentionally overlooked: precisely because Yang Lu was the only one in the Second Archaeological Team who called the shots, she could control many, many details.

Looking at the First Archaeological Team, even if the three of them didn't have any conflicts and had formed a corresponding tacit understanding, the people under them would naturally start to take sides.

Sometimes, what Wu Tianzhen said wasn't necessarily everything; they also had to listen to Fatty or Zhang Tianshi, which was also out of helplessness.

The current situation was just like that; fortunately, everyone quickly abandoned their original plans and continued moving forward.

Wu Ya had already disappeared by this time; in fact, she knew that doing so might draw attention to her movements, but she had no way to concern herself with that.

The next moment, Wu Ya appeared in a corner and directly took out her phone to call Zhang Lin.

On the other side, Wu Tianzhen had already walked up to Wang Cang.

Wang Cang narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at the other party and couldn't help but say, "Team Leader Wu, what advice do you have?"

At this moment, Wu Tianzhen should be more anxious than anyone; Wang Cang felt that his perception couldn't be even a tiny bit wrong—Fatty was his brother, after all.

To leave his brother's life unattended just to come and bicker with him about these trivial things was definitely not Wu Tianzhen's usual style.

Yet he was doing such a thing now, which meant the other party must have other thoughts; on this point, Wang Cang was more certain than anyone else.

In fact, no matter who bickered with him about these things now, Wang Cang wasn't afraid; he had already determined one thing: those who are barefoot are never afraid of those who wear shoes. No matter what this group wanted to do, Wang Cang had made full preparations.

Including that mysterious person behind them—even if they still wanted to take their lives or use Su Nan to threaten him, Wang Cang wouldn't let them succeed so easily this time.

Before, Wang Cang had no choice, but now he was full of room for choice. The reason he had such thoughts was because Wang Cang had seen through the situation regarding the Second Archaeological Team, and after that intelligence was passed on, the information Wu Tianzhen conveyed to him, plus what that mysterious person had said.

Although neither was one hundred percent true, by combining them, he could basically guess what the situation was. Su Nan's current goal was to use this method to infiltrate the Second Archaeological Team, but the corresponding order the mysterious person gave the other party was to be used for himself at a critical moment.

That is, to stab any member of the Second Archaeological Team in the back, preferably Yang Lu, so as to obtain the Dust-Suppressing Bead. And now, the ultimate goal of Su Nan following them, besides the Dust-Suppressing Bead, was that instrument Zhang Lin had mentioned earlier, even if Wang Cang didn't know the mysterious person's identity was Wang Canghai.
