Chapter 2533: What Exactly Are You Hiding? Tell Everyone!

This matter could be seen from one point earlier: for such a long time by Wang Wang Canghai's side, he hadn't even known of the Wang family's existence.

He only learned of this later through a phone call, so Xue Long ultimately never came to understand Wang Wang Canghai too well.

That he could know Wang Wang Canghai's current identity was already quite a surprise to Zhang Lin; in Zhang Lin's view, perhaps the best approach for Wang Wang Canghai would have been not to reveal his identity to Xue Long.

But rather to keep it hidden all along—at least in Xue Long's impression, if Wang Wang Canghai were also that mysterious person, then for Wang Wang Canghai it would be a safer outcome.

Even at the end, when Xue Long saw himself repeatedly losing composure, he wouldn't have needed to silence anyone by killing them; at that point Xue Long should still have been a dog under his command, and Wang Wang Canghai wouldn't have been left without anyone to use, reduced to such an awkward position.

Unfortunately, things ultimately did not go as wished—Wang Wang Canghai did not do so. Perhaps this was one of his mistakes, but these were not things Zhang Lin needed to consider.

Now, if Zhang Lin did not personally go to the Second Archaeology Team, then Wang Wang Canghai's identity had to be kept hidden, not only from those readers but also from Yang Lu herself.

If, without any scruple, he told Yang Lu about Wang Wang Canghai's identity, and she managed to adjust her mindset, perhaps it would be fine; but if she failed to adjust, everything would directly lose the balance it had maintained without hesitation, and Zhang Lin would undoubtedly be the culprit.

Zhang Lin did not want his junior sister to become at a loss, and facing the threat Wang Wang Canghai brought, many people likely could not adjust their mindset—this was what Zhang Lin saw as the Top Priority.

Since that was the case, Zhang Lin had the duty to protect Yang Lu well. Now, since he could not be there in person, even if he had to do it from afar, he would do so without hesitation.

This was also a kind of behavior born of great skill giving one boldness; if Zhang Lin had not controlled the tomb to such a degree, perhaps he would not have had the nerve to use this kind of strategic method to orchestrate everything.

And the choices Zhang Lin faced were not quite the same as others', though many people also understood Zhang Lin's way. Although they did not know the specific reasons, they only needed to be sure of one thing.

Zhang Lin would not harm the archaeology team—every single person of any archaeology team was the same—unless someone, like Sun Wu before, chose to betray and turn their spear against their own teammates. In such a situation, Zhang Lin would be the first to help the archaeology team eliminate these hidden dangers; otherwise, this would never happen.

But if they lost their lives in the tomb through their own carelessness, Zhang Lin likewise would say nothing. In such a dangerous environment, either they relied on their own ability, or, if their team leader had the capacity to spare attention, they could help solve certain problems for them.

The former was fundamental; the latter depended entirely on luck. After all, as team leaders or the main combat force of the archaeology team, they often had to face choices they could not escape.

Likely there was no time to attend to others—this was also why Zhang Lin felt the Second Archaeology Team's approach was far stronger than the First Archaeology Team's.
