Chapter 2406

"Also, this is my private time, and I don't want many things to be entangled, thereby wasting a lot of my time."

Mr. Wang on the other end of the phone was even more astonished. He could fully understand Zhang Lin not wanting to waste his time; if it were him, he would also carry this attitude.

But the matter of King Wannu had already reached Zhang Lin's ears. The fact that the other party could make this call to him showed that he was truly interested.

So in Mr. Wang's perception, he felt that even if the other party wanted to solve the problem quickly, the first thing he would ask about would be King Wannu, not specifically emphasizing this point to him.

Under these circumstances, saying such words about not wanting to waste time instead proved that Zhang Lin was telling Mr. Wang through a subtext that he had plenty of time.

From this attitude, Mr. Wang could very intuitively see that Zhang Lin had already given him the opportunity, and this opportunity was much better than he had imagined at the beginning, so he told himself he must seize this opportunity.

The next moment, Mr. Wang immediately said, "Mr. Zhang, I understand that what you are truly interested in is King Wannu."

Zhang Lin nodded subconsciously upon hearing this and then said, "Since you are clear, then tell me how much you truly know about King Wannu, and also whether Wang Canghai has revealed to you over these many years what the hidden hundred-year history is."

This was what Zhang Lin truly cared about. If it had nothing to do with this premise, Zhang Lin wouldn't bother with the other party at all.

And Mr. Wang couldn't help but smile bitterly after hearing this question. From his perspective, he also hoped he could solve all of Zhang Lin's problems, but reality was not like that.

Zhang Lin had already mentioned the matter of King Wannu when introducing the history of Dongxia and the Cloud Top Palace at the Crescent Hotel, and there was the most important point.

Smart readers had already discovered that there was a time difference of more than a hundred years, which led to that historical problem.

In fact, even if that reader hadn't raised such a question at the time, Zhang Lin would have talked about it himself. He just wanted to use this matter to let Wang Canghai know that the other party's so-called schemes had long been seen through by him.

So don't bother him with those useless things. Although doing so would expose his purpose, it also reflected Zhang Lin's absolute confidence from the side. It was like playing landlord; Zhang Lin directly revealed his cards to play against the other party.

Showing an extreme contempt.

At first, Wang Canghai was also very unhappy after seeing this, and even developed into that uncontrollable rage, but in the end, Wang Canghai instinctively tried his best to calm down.

Perhaps he also clearly understood one point: rather than angrily wanting to fight Zhang Lin to the death, it was better to seize the gap, who knows, he might be able to obtain certain benefits he wanted.

This was the real thought Wang Canghai held now.

Looking at Mr. Wang, whether he knew what his former master was thinking or not, it was of no avail here with Zhang Lin.

Zhang Lin being able to make this call to him was already an extra favor for Mr. Wang, so not being able to answer the first question the other party raised was really a waste of this hard-won opportunity.

Mr. Wang kept thinking in his mind what way he could use to make Zhang Lin accept his prevarication; after all, not knowing is not knowing.

If he randomly fabricated some things about that hundred years at this time, once Zhang Lin saw through it, his end might be even more miserable than Wang Canghai's.

He hesitated for a long time without speaking. He didn't expect Zhang Lin on the other end of the phone to speak first. In fact, he had already gotten the answer through this hesitation.

If the other party knew even a tiny detail, it would be impossible to interpret it to him in this way at this moment, which proved that this Mr. Wang definitely knew nothing about those secrets.

However, this was also within Zhang Lin's expectations. Wang Canghai wasn't a fool. Zhang Lin believed that even if Mr. Wang showed that absolute loyalty to him.

He wouldn't tell the other party these things concerning life and death.

Wang Canghai should have been very certain from the beginning that no matter how many years passed, he absolutely couldn't let a second person know about such things. Of course, he had indeed achieved his goal over these three hundred-plus years.

No one knew what the secrets he guarded were.

But Wang Canghai could guard the previous three hundred years, but it didn't mean he could still keep these secrets forever in the time that followed, unless he truly died and let these things rot in his stomach.

But with someone like Zhang Lin around, even if Wang Canghai truly died, as long as the other party knew of the existence of such things, they would definitely try their best to dig them out.

Anything that has ever remained in this world cannot leave no trace at all, so Zhang Lin had confidence that even if Wang Canghai didn't reveal those secrets himself, he could find them.

It was nothing more than a matter of time.

If Wang Canghai said it himself, it could help Zhang Lin save a lot of time, but now it seemed Wang Canghai didn't have such an intention at all, so Zhang Lin didn't count on the other party being able to honestly say these things himself.

The reason he asked Mr. Wang was also to lay a foundation for the other party. Although it was logical that Mr. Wang didn't know about those secrets, if the things the other party said were just trivial matters, Zhang Lin would definitely hang up the phone at the first moment.

"Alright, I won't ask you about these anymore. Didn't you mention King Wannu to me? Now tell me, what is the deal with him?"

Hearing this, Mr. Wang let out a heavy sigh of relief and also thanked Zhang Lin for giving him another chance.

Mr. Wang adjusted his state for a while and immediately said, "Actually, I only know one thing: King Wannu once made a promise to Wang Canghai."

Zhang Lin on this end of the phone raised an eyebrow and immediately asked, "Promised what? Tell me specifically."

"King Wannu gave Wang Canghai a time. As long as Wang Canghai could keep his mouth shut about the situation inside the Cloud Top Palace and the things behind the Bronze Gate, after this time passed, King Wannu would come out, and then he could help Wang Canghai complete his dream of becoming an immortal."

Zhang Lin didn't have any surprised expression after hearing these words; instead, he tapped his forehead gently with his index finger, thinking carefully about the situation here.

The so-called promise could deceive ordinary people, but for someone like Wang Canghai, it was basically impossible.
