But Wang Canghai didn't think that using that method could truly turn the tide. After all, Zhang Lin could make the same choice. According to his analysis, Zhang Lin could obtain eternal life, so his strength must also be very strong.

If he personally went into the tomb to intervene in these things, for Wang Canghai, it was basically just waiting for death.

Just now when he called Zhang Lin, the other party didn't say a few words before hanging up directly. Wang Canghai knew this was Zhang Lin's attitude toward him.

And the other party had long lost patience. Of course, this wasn't because he handled it well, but just that Zhang Lin didn't look down on many things, determining that his failure was an inevitable thing.

This time Zhang Lin took the initiative to call, and Wang Canghai first thought that the other party's plan should have changed again, so he came to test him, but this change should come from the people under him.

After figuring this out, Wang Canghai's eyes showed a stern look, while Zhang Lin said without hesitation, "Remember what I told you before? You are destined to be abandoned by everyone in the end."

Wang Canghai didn't be polite this time and immediately snorted coldly, "Zhang Lin, if you made this call just to say these bland words to me, then let's not talk."

Zhang Lin chuckled. The other party suddenly being tough was within his expectations. Since Wang Canghai had no bottom in his heart and intended to break the pot, there was no need to use any way to try to please him.

Even if Wang Canghai's words carried that flippancy before, Zhang Lin could hear that his subsequent tone slowly turned into pleading.

Perhaps if they were face-to-face and only the two of them were there, Wang Canghai would want to kneel down to him and beg for a chance.

Of course, even then, Zhang Lin wouldn't choose to believe Wang Canghai, because such a person had been high and mighty for too long, and at this moment, he still wouldn't discard his dignity to seek a way out.

And if his subsequent choices could develop in a good direction along with this kneeling, then Wang Canghai would definitely spare no cost.

But once the time was ripe, Wang Canghai would definitely counterattack and bite Zhang Lin without hesitation.

Zhang Lin was clearer about this than anyone else.

After all, Wang Canghai wasn't Mr. Wang. Even if he lost, what he thought of wasn't shrinking back, but continuing to find ways to go against Zhang Lin, even if the chance was slim, he had to strive for it.

So Zhang Lin didn't buy this set. He shook his head and immediately said, "Then let's not talk. Anyway, I made this call in passing."

Saying that, Zhang Lin prepared to hang up the phone. Wang Canghai on the other side was immediately stunned.

At the moment, everything was exactly as Zhang Lin expected.

Wang Canghai maintaining that tough idea was only for a moment. The next moment, he had basically determined his subsequent end.

Taking the initiative to call Zhang Lin was one thing; the opposite was another.

When Zhang Lin walked out of the Crescent Hotel, Wang Canghai had already tried to contact him and hung up the phone hastily, which also proved from the side that Zhang Lin had absolute confidence and once again despised him.

Although Wang Canghai was very angry about this matter, he also understood that since Zhang Lin held the initiative, he had the qualifications to say so.

Now that it was finally the other party taking the initiative to contact him, Wang Canghai had to cherish this opportunity.

If it were in the past, he would still worry that some of his words were wrong, perhaps exposing some flaws and letting Zhang Lin grasp some handles, but now Wang Canghai no longer had such worries. Anyway, the number of times he had been grasped by Zhang Lin was already too many; one or two more didn't matter.

Wang Canghai took a deep breath. He was also glad that Zhang Lin on the other end of the phone still maintained patience and didn't hang up directly. He then asked, "Zhang Lin, did someone contact you? Who betrayed me again?"

Zhang Lin said with a half-smile, "You used the word 'again' very well, but you don't have to worry. Things are not as you think. If I'm not mistaken, you might think that one of Wang Cang or Su Nan betrayed you, right?"

Wang Canghai didn't answer Zhang Lin, but he did think so in his heart. Now, Wang Canghai could perhaps accept anyone's betrayal, but it definitely didn't include these two.

Wang Canghai knew Zhang Lin had no reason to lie to him about this matter. Of course, he was also very clear that even if there was a corresponding reason, Zhang Lin wouldn't disdain to use this way to play against him now.

For Zhang Lin, it was just having that kind of confidence. Even if Wang Canghai had already seen it, he still thought he was in an invincible position.

At the same time, Wang Canghai was also glad that because of Zhang Lin's pride, it seemed he still had room to respond. Under this premise, a glimmer of hope remained.

Unfortunately, this kind of hope was just an illusion Zhang Lin created for him. For someone like Zhang Lin, no matter what kind of opponent he faced, as long as he made a choice at the beginning, he would definitely remain cautious.

Even if in this process, Zhang Lin showed that kind of disdain for his opponent, it might just be acting.

It was just that Wang Canghai hadn't seen this point yet.

He believed what Zhang Lin said without doubt—that neither Wang Cang nor Su Nan had betrayed him, which made Wang Canghai let out a sigh of relief.

But the next moment, what Zhang Lin said made his spine feel cold, and then cold sweat soaked his whole body.

Just hearing Zhang Lin say, "Wang Canghai, could it be that you truly believe the promise King Wannu gave you?"

Wang Canghai was so shocked that he sat up directly. Even if Zhang Lin had caused him too much surprise or even fear in the whole process, none were as serious as this time.

Involving King Wannu and the Cloud Top Palace, the essence of this matter changed. He was single-mindedly thinking of using this matter to delay time, making Zhang Lin's pace have to slow down.

But as the other party went deeper step by step, the other party would know these things sooner or later. Wang Canghai was still very clear about this, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly.

Wang Canghai kept thinking in his heart: how did Zhang Lin know about this matter? Because according to his estimation of Zhang Lin's rhythm, to get this answer, at the very least, he had to wait until the First Archaeological Team truly entered the Cloud Top Palace. It wasn't strange that Zhang Lin could infer some things through those details.

But now he knew about this matter directly. Although this wasn't the end point of the Cloud Top Palace or King Wannu, even if it was just a starting point, it showed that Zhang Lin already had a beginning.

If it were anyone else just holding this so-called beginning, perhaps it wouldn't cause him any trouble, but for an existence like Zhang Lin, as long as there was a tiny bit of opportunity, he would absolutely not let him go.
