Chapter 2648: Opposing Mr. Zhang! Finding a Chance in the Cracks!
But there is one thing Zhang Lin can now be certain of: Wang Wang Canghai is absolutely no match for him, and the choices Wang Wang Canghai is making now are simply the result of Zhang Lin's deliberate guidance.
Even if Wang Wang Canghai guessed this, he would still have to submit passively — and for Wang Wang Canghai, this is perhaps the most helpless part.
He had thought about making aggressive, proactive choices before, but Zhang Lin never gave him the chance.
It's just that regarding the kind of opportunity in Wang Wang Canghai's mind, Zhang Lin has stressed more than once that it's pure fantasy; if that approach could actually work, Zhang Lin would actually want to take a step back.
At first, when Wang Wang Canghai reached out to him, he still maintained that arrogant posture and wanted to cooperate with him. If this person weren't Wang Wang Canghai, Zhang Lin might well have sat down for a proper talk from that angle.
But this person happens to be Wang Wang Canghai. Given that premise and his angle of approach, Zhang Lin clearly understood what the other party was after next, so Zhang Lin certainly wouldn't let Wang Wang Canghai get his way — which is also why Wang Wang Canghai, in his own mind, concluded that Zhang Lin never gave him a chance.
Actually, from Zhang Lin's perspective, the chance was given to Wang Wang Canghai in full — for instance, telling him to retreat one step or two, hurry back to the old nest he'd picked out, and fend for himself there.
That is what Wang Wang Canghai should have chosen, instead of constantly opposing the archaeological team while also trying to get his hands on the Muchen Zhu to secure some vested interests and complete his so-called immortality ritual — such an idea is simply too laughable.
Zhang Lin has reminded him more than once, but Wang Wang Canghai has never taken it seriously. Even during their earlier calls, Zhang Lin had already told Wang Wang Canghai outright that some things were beyond his reach, yet the other party still failed to react.
Based on this, if Wang Wang Canghai complains that Zhang Lin didn't give him a chance, it would be utterly shameless — but Wang Wang Canghai doesn't care about that at all.
The moment he saw Zhang Lin calling him, Wang Wang Canghai's heart actually relaxed. They were hurrying on their way at that point, heading toward the location of the second archaeological team. By Wang Wang Canghai's own estimate, he had originally assumed Zhang Lin wouldn't bother responding to his earlier call.
Judging by Zhang Lin's usual way of handling such matters, Wang Wang Canghai had already formed a very clear understanding: Zhang Lin was simply despising him, and woven into that contempt was Zhang Lin's arrogance as well.
He had once been convinced he could exploit Zhang Lin's arrogance to accomplish many things, so even if he couldn't reach Zhang Lin now, it didn't matter.
