Chapter 2486

The members of Archaeology Squad Two looked at each other, and in the end it was still Shen Qiong who stood up and walked toward the place where Xue Long had disappeared.

Since Xue Long had seen this and did not stop Shen Qiong, he could roughly guess what Yang Lu was thinking at this moment; after all, he had just seen the concrete answer through Yang Lu's eyes.

Although Xue Long was reluctant to let Yang Lu fall into such a tangled state, he had no choice; after all, all of this came from Mr. Zhang's orders, and he wouldn't dare disobey them even if you beat him to death.

Thinking of this, Xue Long couldn't help but sigh. The reason Shen Qiong went over was to see what Yang Lu was like now; the others didn't dare go, so naturally she had no such reservations.

After all, she had opened her heart to Yang Lu before, so going over now would actually be more persuasive. Shen Qiong was also very worried about Yang Lu's current situation.

If any trouble really arose, they could stop it at the first moment. If Yang Lu's mindset collapsed, then everyone in Archaeology Squad Two would also be unable to adjust their own state — this was certain.

Because they didn't want to see such a thing happen, everyone understood Shen Qiong's current approach, so they watched her back full of expectation, waiting until she disappeared into the darkness.

Shen Qiong saw Yang Lu sitting on the ground hugging her knees, eyes slowly closed, and her heart couldn't help but skip a beat!

She had known Yang Lu for such a long time — from when they were still doing things for the Wang family as Wang family people, to later fully integrating into Archaeology Squad Two. Throughout all this time, she had seen all kinds of versions of Captain Yang.

But she had never seen Yang Lu become so helpless or lacking in confidence. Shen Qiong's heart was full of doubt, not knowing exactly what had happened to make Yang Lu become like this.

At this moment, Shen Qiong didn't care about anything else and hurriedly walked to Yang Lu's side.

She sat down beside her and asked, "Captain Yang, what's wrong?"

Yang Lu had long sensed someone coming. A sniff of the special fragrance on Shen Qiong's body confirmed her identity, so Yang Lu didn't mind.

The next moment, Yang Lu slowly opened her eyes, then sighed and shook her head. One could tell she didn't want to talk much about the things weighing on her mind.

Or rather, during the five or six minutes Yang Lu had spent with her eyes closed, she had figured some things out: rather than getting tangled up in it, she might as well rest well for the night.

After all, the order she had given earlier was for Archaeology Squad Two to rest and reorganize quickly. What would happen afterward, Yang Lu didn't know.

But she believed Zhang Lin would give them guidance at the New Moon Hotel — this much confidence Yang Lu still had. However, the only thing she was torn about was whether Zhang Lin was truly angry. Even she herself didn't understand why she kept going back and forth on this.

And in her mind, it played over and over like a film she couldn't shake off. According to her usual character, she would never think about these issues in such a way. Yang Lu was now also trying hard to suppress these thoughts, even considering whether she should call Zhang Lin privately.

But after thinking it over repeatedly, Yang Lu still put away the phone for contacting Zhang Lin alone, telling herself she couldn't do that.

She absolutely could not disturb Zhang Lin because of her own petty, melodramatic thoughts; doing so might affect Zhang Lin's judgment on subsequent matters. If she really did that, Yang Lu knew she would definitely become a sinner.

Yang Lu hadn't said anything, and at this moment anxiety couldn't help but appear in Shen Qiong's eyes. But after a few seconds, Shen Qiong's expression suddenly eased again.

She also understood that being anxious at this moment was meaningless. Besides, someone like Yang Lu would never face everyone in such a way.

Once she fell into such a state, everyone else would be completely in the dark. So Shen Qiong felt that what she had to do now was maintain patience and listen to what was going on, if Yang Lu was truly willing to tell her.

So Shen Qiong said softly, "Captain Yang, sis! Can you tell me what's really wrong with you? If your state has a problem right now, then the state of everyone in Archaeology Squad Two will have problems along with it. I think you understand this principle better than I do."

Shen Qiong didn't want to use this method to indirectly pressure Yang Lu to recover quickly and adjust everything back to a normal level.

But unfortunately, no one knew what would happen next. Besides, Xue Long's earlier change had already shown everything. If Yang Lu continued to say nothing, they could only go back and press Xue Long.

Regardless of whose orders or instructions Xue Long was carrying, or whether Yang Lu allowed him to speak, everyone would Will Find a Way to pry the corresponding orders out of his mouth. Perhaps the reason Yang Lu refused to make this decision was that she wanted to carry out those orders alone.

Or perhaps the answer Zhang Lin gave was unacceptable to Yang Lu's subconscious. Although this possibility was very low, Shen Qiong still worried that such a thing would happen.

Seeing Shen Qiong's burning gaze, Yang Lu couldn't help but laugh instinctively, then said, "You little girl, now you're going to meddle in my affairs?"

Although she wasn't very old either, Shen Qiong was indeed much younger than Yang Lu. Because she had been trained by the Wang family since childhood, Shen Qiong had never received a normal education.

After turning eighteen, she was sent out to carry out corresponding missions, and her methods were also much more ruthless than most people's.

At least more incisive than Wang Wang Kaixuan and Hu Hu Bayi's. Perhaps precisely because Yang Lu had seen this all along, she had always regarded Shen Qiong with that kind of suspicion, especially during the incident at the Ancient City of Jingjue.

She didn't want to use Shen Qiong to complete those things until the final stage. However, Shen Qiong subsequently proved herself worthy of trust and helped Archaeology Squad Two accomplish many things.

Based on this, Yang Lu could naturally set her mind at ease. But right now she truly couldn't accept this kind of concern from Shen Qiong. Perhaps precisely because she was the captain of the archaeology team, Yang Lu couldn't allow herself to become so weak.

Yang Lu could be melancholy, could regulate herself, could even collapse inside and then rebuild, but she would never show vulnerability in front of everyone.

No matter what state her heart had reached, the reason she had been in that state earlier was that Yang Lu was somewhat torn about the answer Zhang Lin had given. But soon Yang Lu self-adjusted, or rather she was convinced that Zhang Lin had done this precisely because he didn't want her to risk her life.
