Chapter 2743: The Three-Person Group on the Verge of Collapse? Who Can Turn the Tide?

Zhang Lin could not help but frown.

He retorted, "Didn't you watch the livestream?"

This was what surprised and puzzled Zhang Lin the most, and Mr. Wang's face was full of shame; he said to himself that he really had not watched this livestream, and of course in his heart he was also muttering that he had his reasons—it was not that he didn't want to, only that he didn't dare.

Sometimes courage has not reached that scope, and those things naturally one does not dare to do—this was exactly Mr. Wang's true thought in his heart.

Mr. Wang wanted to express his apologies, but before he knew it, the next moment Zhang Lin helplessly shook his head, and immediately gave a rough rundown of the situation, and Mr. Wang also understood the stakes involved in this matter; at the same time, he had never once thought why the people he had sent would interpret everything in this manner, which left him utterly shocked.

At the same time, there was also a sense of indignation in his heart. From Mr. Wang's perspective, he had already made the stakes of this matter perfectly clear to the people he sent out, and Wang Hu was originally one of the slip-ups, but at that time Mr. Wang could still find a corresponding excuse.

After all, in front of Wang Wang Canghai they had no room to maneuver, and Wang Hu was still so wolfishly ambitious, so stubbornly deluded, and most importantly so foolish and unwilling to listen to advice.

This also led him to make that kind of wrong choice, but if the person sent to Archaeology Team One also went off track, then Mr. Wang would not even have the chance to find an excuse.

That was also the situation Mr. Wang feared most. At least for now Mr. Wang still did not dare to confirm whether things were truly developing in that direction, and just what kind of stakes did this matter actually involve?

Right now Mr. Wang simply could not figure it out. Under this premise, he felt increasingly uncertain in his heart; he understood that if this matter could not be explained clearly, it might very well cause Zhang Lin to stop helping him afterward.

Or rather, if the previous promises were all voided, the Wang family would never find a way out again. He had finally seized this opportunity, one that could give the Wang family a chance to clear its name.

Although this probability was not one hundred percent, as long as there was such a chance, even if it was only one in ten thousand, Mr. Wang would put in the corresponding effort for it; this had never changed, and Mr. Wang had always held onto this kind of thinking.

But looking at the present, it seemed things were not continuing along this rhythm. Mr. Wang pondered for a moment.

He sighed and then said, "Mr. Zhang, I truly don't know what happened. Give me a few minutes, let me ask these people just what the situation is."

To this Zhang Lin raised no objection whatsoever, and said directly, "Get in touch with these people, hear what they have to say for themselves. And if these people aren't trying to betray the Wang family, then tell them to stop being clever on their own. You should be very clear on my orders."

After saying this, Zhang Lin hung up the phone directly. Mr. Wang now was not at all angered by Zhang Lin's words; on the contrary, his heart was full of relief, because he understood that this was Zhang Lin giving him another chance.

At the same time, Zhang Lin had not truly taken this matter to heart this time. If Zhang Lin particularly cared, he definitely would not have spoken to him in this manner. As long as this point was satisfied, then Mr. Wang could now rest easy.

At least within his own understanding, it was so. Of course, there was a premise here: that his people had not betrayed the Wang family. If all these things were the opposite—

If the person he sent out had likewise grown a rebellious bone, and then disobeyed his orders and taken corresponding actions on his own, then even if Mr. Wang had a mouth all over his body he could not explain it clearly; this was what he feared most.

But the next moment he abruptly shook his head. Before making the call, he wrestled with it for half a minute. If the matter were not urgent, Mr. Wang might have thought some more, because right now he could not be one hundred percent certain whether the other party had truly betrayed him.

If not, then naturally all was well, and he had a way to explain it to Zhang Lin. No matter what the other party was thinking, even if it was deliberately showing off, Mr. Wang would at most scold him a couple of times and say no more.

But if the truth were exactly the opposite, and the other party truly wanted to use this method to deliberately betray and then choose a path of his own, then even if Zhang Lin wanted to give Mr. Wang a chance, he could find no corresponding excuse—this Mr. Wang was one hundred percent certain of, and it was also the main reason he hesitated for half a minute before making this call.

Mr. Wang understood that if he did not make the corresponding choice, no one would take that step for him—this was the crux of the matter.

And at this moment, the atmosphere in Archaeology Team One was still taut as a drawn bow. Wu Ya subconsciously took a deep breath, and then said, "Fatty, you should understand that everything Mr. Zhang has done, before and after, was to make Archaeology Team One no longer so dependent on him above the New Moon Restaurant. Don't you understand that?"

Since some things couldn't be sorted out with just a couple of simple words, or rather Fatty simply wasn't willing to give up, Wu Ya could only choose to use a patient, guiding approach. This was precisely because Fatty was a member of the three-person group of Archaeology Team One—these three people formed the true core of Archaeology Team One.

A triangle is precisely the most stable shape, but at the same time, if one point truly collapses, that stability will vanish along with it.

Clearly Wu Ya did not want to see such a situation arise, which was why she was maintaining this patience now. She also believed this was the outcome Zhang Lin wanted to see. If she lost patience and let the conflict continue to escalate, it would only lead to a vicious cycle.

It might even affect many of Zhang Lin's subsequent plans. That was not the situation Wu Ya wanted to see; she only hoped the current situation would continue along the best rhythm.

And when Fatty heard Wu Ya say this, he immediately wore an expression of not really agreeing. Wu Ya was used to this, and so were the rest of Archaeology Team One; they were long past being surprised by it.

The reason was very simple: it was because this person was Fatty. He would put forward many different ideas, and another point was that many of his ideas still took himself as the center and imagined what came next from there.

Based on this point, things could not help but go off track. Everyone could see it clearly; only Fatty himself was still in the dark, not knowing whether this matter was good or bad. It's just that sometimes, even with self-awareness built on this baseline, one cannot give a very clear answer.

And now Wu Ya was also out of helplessness that she had to say these things. But Fatty retorted, "I do understand what Mr. Zhang means, but I'll say it again—I don't understand any hidden intentions!"
