Chapter 2403

Since Su Nan could be used for his own purposes, Ga Wa's tragic death at the hands of Yang Lu was, for him, a blessing in disguise.

At least now he had a certain amount of initiative in his hands, and at least this Su Nan wouldn't always act on her own like Ga Wa and then not follow his orders; this was what Wang Canghai truly cared about.

And he also had such confidence: as long as this person could be controlled in his hands, he could complete the things he wanted to do.

Even if it wasn't one hundred percent, achieving thirty or forty percent was still possible.

He believed that Zhang Lin must be unable to be in two places at once, and the two archaeological teams hadn't established any contact yet.

At first, Wang Canghai also seemed to think that Zhang Lin wanted them to establish some contact in the dark, so as to affect him, or to prepare for the subsequent appearance of King Wannu.

But as time went on, Wang Canghai also realized that this might be a bait Zhang Lin had deliberately thrown out, just to make him have some deviations in judgment.

So he told himself firmly that he must absolutely not be fooled. Of course, precisely because he had such thoughts, it also led to the subsequent things he did being one more foolish than the last.

In fact, originally, according to Wang Canghai's rhythm, he wouldn't have been retreating steadily, and he wouldn't have lost so miserably in every matter; it was precisely because his rhythm of doing things was led astray by Zhang Lin.

And this was also what Zhang Lin wanted to do from the beginning, but unfortunately, until now, Wang Canghai was still kept in the dark about certain matters.

Even if there was a certain reaction, it was already too late; Zhang Lin only needed to continue walking according to his own ideas.

At this time, Wu Tianzhen didn't care what purpose the Wang family had; anyway, it was just to delay time, so he immediately said, "Wang Cang, I think with your intelligence, you should understand that you have been used by others, right?"

Wang Cang chuckled, shook his head, and said, "If you only want to tell me this, then there's no need to be long-winded."

Wu Tianzhen couldn't help but be stunned and hurriedly asked, "Why? Could it be that you are still obsessed and refuse to wake up? You have to know that if you end up being used as cannon fodder or sold by others and still counting the money for them, that would be too unjust. A person like you should find that result more unbearable than death, right?"

Wang Cang was a smart person and very proud; the more proud such a person was, the more they would feel when they realized they had been played.

And if he hadn't realized it before, then for him, it was a fatal humiliation. Wu Tianzhen's description was not wrong at all!

This feeling was even more unbearable than killing him directly; this was also why Wu Tianzhen would use these various methods to delay time.

He believed that only by chatting with the other party from this entry point would the other party pick up the conversation. Whether it was to enrage the other party or to induce them step by step, as long as the other party could maintain corresponding calmness, that was the result Wu Tianzhen wanted.

Anyway, for now, Wang Cang just shouldn't go find Wu Ya, and shouldn't try to catch up with the First Archaeological Team.

Because Wu Ya was still hiding in the dark at this time, trying to contact Zhang Lin. In fact, when Wang Cang first saw Wu Tianzhen's strange behavior and simultaneously noticed Wu Ya's situation out of the corner of his eye, he had already reacted, but he didn't stop her, or rather, he also thought he didn't have the qualifications to stop any choice the other party made.

Now he could only honestly follow the First Archaeological Team and continue walking; there was nothing else.

However, he didn't expect Wu Tianzhen to come directly to him, but he soon understood that the other party doing this was deliberately using this method to block him.

Not letting him make the subsequent things even more chaotic. In fact, from this point of view, Wu Tianzhen's perception of Wang Cang was still wrong.

At least Wang Cang wasn't the kind of person who didn't understand anything and then randomly expressed his thoughts, even if he wanted to stop the gambling den.

He had to see through the pros and cons here, at least knowing a surface logic would suffice, but now this kind of logic didn't exist in Wang Cang's heart at all.

Based on this, Wang Cang could only use the unchanging to respond to the ever-changing, quietly watching the development of things. Since he had figured this out, Wang Cang simply followed Wu Tianzhen's rhythm.

Following along and responding to the other party's words, he was also cooperating with the other party's deliberate delay of time.

On the other side, Wu Ya's phone rang for a long time, and after several calls, Zhang Lin finally picked it up. It wasn't that Zhang Lin deliberately wanted to keep her in suspense.

Nor was it that he wasn't interested in the matter itself, but Zhang Lin had been on the road, and some things were inconvenient to say; only after returning home did Zhang Lin pick up the phone.

Wu Ya hurriedly said, "Mr. Zhang, the call received earlier was from the person who is the surface controller of the Wang family, that Mr. Wang."

Zhang Lin couldn't help but be stunned upon hearing this. He guessed that the call Wu Ya received was crucial in the other party's perception. At the same time, setting aside Wang Canghai, he had been trying to guess along the way.

Who exactly made this call? But Zhang Lin didn't expect it to be Mr. Wang, or even if he had thought of it, he felt the probability was not high.

After all, Mr. Wang, standing from this angle, had no reason to contact him anymore, unless Wang Canghai was truly stupid enough to contact Mr. Wang, or the other party took the initiative to call him to seek a way out, and Wang Canghai very bluntly told the other party that he must die.

Under these circumstances, perhaps Mr. Wang would burn his bridges. And Zhang Lin also instantly figured it out: if it were the Wang Canghai of the past, he should understand the pros and cons here.

Even if Mr. Wang betrayed him in such a way, at such a tense moment in the situation, the first choice Wang Canghai would make would definitely not be to retaliate.

But to stabilize Mr. Wang's side, at least to conduct some inducement in words, so that the other party wouldn't make any extreme choices.

Because the things he had controlled in the Wang family over these years were enough for Wang Canghai to handle. If Wang Canghai wasn't worried at all, that would definitely be unrealistic.

Of course, there was another possibility here: that since Wang Canghai had chosen to perish together, he would burn his bridges!

Based on this, he simply broke the pot at this time node, not caring about those trivial things anymore. No matter what Zhang Lin chose later, it had nothing to do with him.

Anyway, in the end, Zhang Lin would also have to reveal those secrets with his own hands, whether it was about King Wannu or the things truly hidden behind the Cloud Top Palace, or that hundred-year secret.

A cautious person like Wang Canghai clearly understood one principle: there is never true unwavering loyalty in this world; betrayal is a matter of time.
