Chapter 2739: It's Not That I'm Not Giving You Face! But I Just Don't Believe It!

Precisely because of this, the order is even more noteworthy—if it weren't an especially urgent situation, how could Zhang Lin possibly pass down such an order in private? The stakes involved are something even an ordinary person could understand, let alone Fatty, who has already been through so many life-and-death situations.

With Archaeological Team One having reached Cloud Top Tiangong, they have already dragged things out far too slowly, and back at that guesthouse, because of the earlier negotiations, the choice they made was already barely satisfactory, and later it was still thanks to Zhang Lin's intervention that their rhythm was extended back to the previous state.

Otherwise, Archaeological Team One as a whole would definitely be in complete disarray right now; even from this angle, they should all be grateful for everything Zhang Lin has done for them, even though Zhang Lin has spoken very firmly, saying he won't look after Archaeological Team One's overall situation and also maintains he has no corresponding obligation.

But the reality is that Zhang Lin has never truly abandoned Archaeological Team One from start to finish—it's just that the earlier deviation led Fatty to believe Zhang Lin had very likely given up on them.

Actually, from this angle, Fatty really is being a bit jumpy, or rather, of the entire Archaeological Team One, only he has the strongest sense of dependence on Zhang Lin.

The others haven't shown anything similar—this is worrying for nothing in the truest sense; precisely because Zhang Lin has helped Archaeological Team One so much, Fatty has ended up holding onto this kind of thinking.

If only Zhang Lin had been a bit more decisive and given up part of the command authority over Archaeological Team One, Archaeological Team One would have long since adjusted all of its state and been able to face everything that came after.

Yet now the situation is so awkward—Zhang Lin truly does not want to see this kind of situation arise.

But Fatty has already made things the way they are, and the strength Wu Ya has shown makes Fatty feel even more keenly just how firm that attitude really is.

At this moment Fatty certainly knows that Wu Ya is speaking those words on behalf of Zhang Lin.

But the next moment he still shook his head, which greatly surprised Wu Ya, and at the same time Wu Ya understood clearly in her heart that this matter probably couldn't be resolved in the most peaceful way.

The next moment Wu Ya shook her head, and at the same time her gaze also changed—from the scrutiny of moments ago to a kind of looking down from above; to tell the truth, Wu Ya would rather die than use this kind of manner to talk to Fatty.

But in the end, with no other choice, Fatty really wasn't giving her any chance, and also wasn't leaving Archaeological Team One any chance either; based on this point, Wu Ya had no way out either—one couldn't let Fatty alone hold up all the subsequent matters.

Actually, there is one point Fatty made that isn't wrong, and Wu Ya also admits it regarding this matter: the people who came may truly have a problem, but if these people aren't Wang family people.

That is to say, they aren't the ones Zhang Lin arranged earlier for that Archaeological Team One—at most they only need to set aside a fraction of their attention to guard against them, no need to overthink it.

Because right now, apart from the Wang family people, or that mysterious person—that is, the team led by Wang Canghai—who could pose a threat in the true sense to Archaeological Team One, the others simply couldn't.

Besides, Mr. Zhang has already made things so clear before—the people who have come now are here to help Archaeological Team One, so why is Fatty still so stubbornly deluded? This is exactly what makes Wu Ya angry.

These people vanished for no reason; even if they can hide their forms on the plain, when all is said and done, their abilities are only so much.

Under this premise, there's naturally no need for too much worry, yet Fatty is exactly like a bird startled by the bow—timid and hesitant at every turn; before this he was still criticizing Wu Tianzhen for being too cautious and careful.

Who would have thought that this time it was he himself who made a fundamental mistake; however, Wu Ya didn't see the core of Fatty's thinking—when all is said and done, it's still because of Zhang Lin.

Actually, if it had been as Zhang Lin himself thought earlier—making a phone call and telling Fatty about these situations in person—then everything would have settled down right there.

After that, Fatty wouldn't obstruct anything anymore, and at the same time he would become the boldest person there, because Zhang Lin is Archaeological Team One's backbone—he himself admitted it in person; as long as this premise is met, Fatty can put aside all his Gu Ji and stop worrying about these things.

Let it be! Even if the sky falls and the earth cracks, Zhang Lin will give the most standard answer—that is the strongest kind of dependence in Fatty's heart.

As long as this dependence is still there, then the subsequent matters have no way of being resolved in a very peaceful manner; Zhang Lin had already anticipated this point earlier—who could have thought that now, with the situation intensifying, it has actually become more and more serious.

Seeing this, Zhang Lin's brow furrowed even deeper; however, Wu Ya hadn't said too much yet—he believes that given Wu Ya's current state, she should be able to make Fatty turn back around and truly notice the things they ought to care about.

Rather than clinging to the current situation and going on like this single-mindedly, the final result would probably be unacceptable to anyone; it might even be just as Wu Tianzhen thought—drawing down Zhang Lin's wrath, and that would be a truly enormous trouble.

But turning to look at Fatty, it seemed he didn't have such an alertness—as if everything was still within Fatty's thinking and hadn't changed in the slightest.

Or perhaps he simply doesn't believe what kind of benefit the arriving Wang family people can bring to the archaeological team; even though this matter was said by Zhang Lin, the doubt Fatty harbors lies in the fact that Zhang Lin hasn't told him the answers to these things in person.

So he carries that instinctive doubt—unless Zhang Lin can now, in the true sense, say everything out loud in person, just like at the New Moon Hotel, then they can hear that standard answer.

Not through Wu Ya passing along this information—Fatty really has no other way either, so he feels that each taking a step back is for the best: not rushing to set out now, but guarding against the people about to appear.

Then by evening, when Zhang Lin ascends the New Moon Hotel, he will definitely give Archaeological Team One the corresponding guidance first thing, and after that they can just follow that guidance and continue on.

And after Fatty saw the look in Wu Ya's eyes, he was not the least bit willing to back down.

"Wu Ya, it's not that I'm not giving you face, but if some things can't be made clear, then I have no way to be convinced. Right now I'm not just thinking for myself, I'm also thinking for everyone—I really don't understand why Tianzhen went from being cautious to not looking before he leaps."

Wu Tianzhen, hearing these words, was immediately furious; right now it's only because there are too many people—if there weren't so many people around, Wu Tianzhen at this moment swore he would stride right over and teach Fatty a lesson.
