Chapter 2670

Just then Wu Ya's phone dinged, and at that moment everyone pricked up their ears, because what they had been waiting for was new news—very likely another plan from Zhang Lin, since they had been racking their brains trying to figure out whether they had somehow offended Mr. Zhang.

But after thinking it over, they felt there was simply no way, since the other party was up on the Crescent Moon Restaurant, while they were only in the archaeology team. If there really were a chance to offend Zhang Lin, they absolutely had none; the only ones who might were the three-person squad of Archaeology Team One—this was indisputable.

So they hoped Wu Tianzhen could give everyone a satisfactory answer. Of course, as the leader and the official's direct representative, Wu Tianzhen held final decision-making authority in Archaeology Team One; even if he didn't offer such an explanation, the others couldn't say anything.

After all, they were an official archaeology team, and everything on the surface still took orders from the officials. As long as internal matters weren't affected, the officials wouldn't say anything. Since the officials weren't speaking up, the others naturally had no way to voice their personal stance either.

In other words, their personal stance simply didn't matter—they could only keep going forward, and this was where everyone felt helpless.

They had no standing to raise objections and could only leave it to fate. Having lost that initiative, they could only stay silent, but at this moment Fatty roused himself to full alertness.

Because Wu Ya's phone stirred again, which meant Zhang Lin very likely had a new deployment, and this was something Fatty was immensely looking forward to.

This time Wu Ya didn't hesitate—she pulled out the phone directly. It was a text message; it stood to reason that Zhang Lin wouldn't call her so frequently, which also matched his usual habit, so Wu Ya wasn't surprised. The others craned their necks to look.

Wu Ya opened the message. There were only two words on it.

"Together."

Seeing those two words, Wu Ya was first stunned, then immediately understood why Mr. Zhang had sent the message in this way and so inexplicably—the message itself must have come with an attached order.

And that order wasn't the most important part; the key was that Zhang Lin wanted to use this method to tell the others that this was his decision and it wouldn't change, so the message right now was a veiled prod.

Wu Ya handed the phone straight to Wu Tianzhen. At that moment the people standing close by also saw the two words on the screen, and they were all baffled.

The next instant Wu Tianzhen said with a smile: "Now you understand, don't you—Mr. Zhang wants all of us to go down together, no one staying up top to hold the fort."

Wang Cen didn't hear any of this at all; he was busy consolidating his own team internally, though he still left his most trusted men outside to keep watch.

Just then the news came through, and Wang Cen waved his hand, about to speak when someone cut him off, which left him very displeased.
