Chapter 2489: One Sentence Pierces the Truth! Poking Through the Window Paper!

Perhaps from the very start, when Wang Canghai called Zhang Lin seeking cooperation and wanting to establish this kind of relationship, he would have agreed to it directly.

Rather than telling Wang Canghai in a tone of contempt that some things simply weren't realistic, and that the other party shouldn't cling to such naive ideas.

Zhang Lin is sleeping more peacefully than anyone right now, but every party with a stake in this has basically been up all night — perhaps precisely because the answer Zhang Lin gave yesterday at the Crescent Moon Restaurant was ambiguous, yet he left early.

On top of that baseline, they've all started feeling uncertain, afraid that Zhang Lin might still make some choice later on that surprises everyone and remains completely incomprehensible.

At this moment they were watching Yang Lu eagerly, hoping she could quickly give them an explanation, otherwise they'd remain forever immersed in this inexplicable state.

For anyone, this isn't very comfortable, and they still have to worry about what that mysterious person will do later — although the Wang family people are gone now, no one knows exactly what that mysterious person will do.

Perhaps this is also a misconception Yang Lu walked into from the start — if she had seen the existence of this mysterious person, or if she had put this matter on her agenda.

She wouldn't have assumed before that Zhang Lin at this point very likely didn't trust her. Even though Yang Lu figured it out herself in the end, she still walked into the corresponding misconception.

Once she fell into this kind of misconception, she wouldn't just quietly drop it.

The next moment, Yang Lu waved her hand at the crowd, intending to brush off the matter with a few words, but before she could speak, Wang Kaixuan instinctively said: "Captain Yang, is that mysterious person causing trouble again?"

The concept of this mysterious person was actually established from Wang Cen, and upon hearing this, Yang Lu's eyes lit up, and immediately she felt a sudden sense of clarity.

Then she instinctively looked at Xue Long. At this point Xue Long also reacted — perhaps once the concept of the mysterious person was mentioned, Yang Lu would realize everything.

Sure enough, the reality was just as he had imagined. The reason Zhang Lin wanted to hide this from her in the first place was precisely here. Given the current situation, Xue Long could only stay silent — no matter how much Yang Lu figured out on her own, that was her own spontaneous behavior.

Xue Long couldn't stop her, nor could he truly intervene in anything.

All he could do was this. Even if Zhang Lin really did blame him for it later, Xue Long had no way to gloss things over — things could only proceed along this baseline.

Xue Long couldn't help sighing at this thought, and Wang Kaixuan, seeing the strange state between the two of them, really couldn't sit still any longer, and immediately glared hard at Xue Long.

He said: "You're someone who came later anyway, and now you're hemming and hawing when you speak — can you just say what the situation actually is? Compared to Wu Ya, you're really far worse!"

The reason Wu Ya and Xue Long were being compared was because they assumed both of them had a connection to Mr. Zhang. Since that was the case, they would naturally put the two on the same level when discussing things — exactly like the current situation.

Xue Long couldn't help being stunned, then gave a self-mocking smile. He still didn't speak, but in his heart he was thinking that if he could actually compare to Wu Ya, he wouldn't have to go through such great lengths now.

Precisely because his current situation compared to Wu Ya's was like heaven and earth, he had to face this kind of awkwardness.

Wu Ya was, after all, Zhang Lin's assistant — and what was he?

He was nothing more than a chess piece under Zhang Lin's hand right now, and Zhang Lin had told him in advance that he wanted him to complete this kind of task. Xue Long still had to do it willingly.

Of course, this was something Xue Long had volunteered for himself, and it could also be considered an opportunity Zhang Lin gave him. Xue Long had no complaints about it.

But after Fatty said those words, Xue Long still felt a bitter thought well up. However, he quickly destroyed this so-called complaint and bitterness on his own.

He felt he didn't need to hold onto such thoughts, because no matter what happened later, as long as Zhang Lin gave him his promise—

The other party would definitely find a way to make it happen. He was absolutely certain of this.

Actually, the moment Wang Kaixuan said those words, Yang Lu was also stunned. Then a bitter smile crept across her lips, because Yang Lu hadn't expected Wang Kaixuan to be so direct in his speech — even directly linking it to Wu Ya. The people watching the livestream right now couldn't be a hundred percent certain of the situation inside.

Instead, Wang Kaixuan's words pierced straight through to the truth. But Yang Lu didn't mind — this was just a layer of window paper; it made no difference at all who poked through it.

And Wang Canghai, watching the Archaeology Team Two livestream at this moment, suddenly had a somewhat dazed expression. Yang Lu's initial reaction had been within his expectations.

Or rather, he also wanted to use this kind of method to sow discord and understanding. At the same time, Wang Canghai also believed that no matter what kind of choice Zhang Lin made to prove things—

He didn't want Yang Lu to learn the full truth at the first moment, and regarding his own identity, Zhang Lin absolutely couldn't have told Yang Lu.

Both before and after, it was the same!

After all, the less Yang Lu knew, the slightly safer it was for her. Based on this point, Wang Canghai was a hundred percent certain his judgment couldn't be wrong.

But right at this moment, Wang Canghai felt that what he could use wasn't only these things. If Yang Lu's suspicion of Zhang Lin really grew heavier, perhaps Wang Canghai could take advantage of the opening.

In the past, once Wang Canghai confirmed this point, he wouldn't doubt it further — after all, what he was best at exploiting was grasping human nature.

As long as human nature had this kind of weakness, Wang Canghai could maneuver with ease and plan everything perfectly. But now, being led and deceived by Zhang Lin's schemes again and again, he had suffered defeat after defeat. Under this premise, Wang Canghai also didn't dare to make the corresponding choice.

However, the next moment he steadied himself, then took a deep breath, striving to maintain that initial calm.

And he told himself forcefully in his heart that making this choice was no problem at all. He believed that no matter how capable Zhang Lin was, he couldn't possibly catch the flaw in it.

At this moment, Wang Canghai changed his plan — or rather, from the start he hadn't thought of entering Archaeology Team Two the way Zhang Lin had said.

Sticking with those messy ideas from the beginning — directly killing everyone off, then seizing the Muchen Zhu. Although doing so would make Wang Canghai worry that Zhang Lin would stay silent about everything afterward.
