Chapter 2662: There was never any order! You're the only one making things up!

Fatty really didn't dare to hand all of this over to Wang Cen in any real sense, because what Wang Cen told his own men was very likely a direct, unilateral tearing up of the previous promise.

Fatty shook his head helplessly, then said the next moment: "Fine, even if I admit what you're saying, but this Wang Cen gathering his men together—if it wasn't to talk about defection, what else could it be?"

Fatty indirectly admitted what Wu Tianzhen had said, and at the same time used this way to tell Wu Tianzhen that even if the other party really did go back on the previous promise, it wouldn't matter to him, but right now he was still focused on another point—what the reason was.

After all, according to Wu Tianzhen's thinking, the probability of Wang Cen betraying them was minuscule, so small it could be ignored—this was something Fatty would rack his brains to death and still not understand.

So at this moment, Fatty just wanted Wu Tianzhen to give him a very satisfactory explanation, so that he could give up those wild thoughts in his head; this kind of thing was very important to Fatty, at least that was what he was mulling over in his heart.

Seeing Fatty's persistence, and based on Wu Tianzhen's understanding of the other man, he also knew that if he kept this silence going, Fatty would definitely pester him without end.

He wouldn't easily fixate on one thing, but once he saw something that didn't match logic or fell outside his own understanding, he would absolutely clamp down and not let go—this much Wu Tianzhen was still clear about.

So in an instant Wu Tianzhen said: "Earlier you brought up Mr. Zhang to make your point, so now I'll still use Mr. Zhang's way to tell you—don't you think the timing of Mr. Zhang making that phone call is a bit subtle?"

Fatty shook his head; he was very straightforward—if he didn't understand something, he just didn't understand, and he wouldn't pretend to understand. If he kept on pretending to understand, it would only make Wu Tianzhen's words deviate from the logic of reality.

And then it would create a cognitive gap—in other words, they could never discuss that problem from the same angle. As long as a cognitive gap existed, things could only get more and more misrepresented, and could never be explained clearly.

Wu Tianzhen continued patiently: "Timing is the biggest issue. In my thinking, before this Mr. Zhang should have been considering one thing—whether to let us go down on our own, or wait until tonight at the New Moon Restaurant to tell us all at once what would happen afterward."

Fatty listened, completely baffled, and hurriedly asked: "Is there any difference? And this doesn't seem to have anything to do with what you said earlier either."

Wu Tianzhen waved his hand. "Don't rush, listen to me go on. The problem lies right here. Try thinking about this from Mr. Zhang's angle. The Archaeology Team Two side also needs him to hold down the fort. If Mr. Zhang keeps helping Archaeology Team One, then it will definitely make Archaeology Team Two even more crisis-ridden, especially since that mysterious person will soon be arriving at Archaeology Team Two."

Fatty rolled his eyes at these words. He understood everything Wu Tianzhen said, but it was still that same line—what on earth did any of this have to do with what he'd asked?

What he wanted to know right now was Wang Cen's situation; it had nothing to do with anything else. On the contrary, Wu Tianzhen seemed to keep beating around the bush. If it weren't for the fact that the two of them had known each other for so many years and had already formed a tacit understanding, and had absolute trust in each other,

the current Fatty would probably suspect that Wu Tianzhen was harboring some other idea, and that this idea might even endanger everyone's safety.

But in the final analysis, he understood that Wu Tianzhen definitely wasn't that kind of person. So many years had passed, and Wu Tianzhen had never changed. Having thought this through, Fatty took a deep breath. This time he didn't interrupt, just listened carefully.
