Chapter 2883: Self-inflicted! The second test arrives!

~7 min read 1,297 words

However, Yang Lu didn't care about what he said. If Wang Kaixuan had repeatedly blocked her choices before, it might have caused some deviations in Yang Lu's plan, but that definitely wouldn't happen now.

Moreover, Yang Lu's mercy always had a limit. Don't look at how Uncle Ming kept causing trouble; Yang Lu had reasons for giving him chances.

At first, it was because of Sister Hong, and later it was because of that Peter's benevolence and righteousness.

But Su Nan had put things too vaguely. If, when she asked about Wang Cang just now, Su Nan hadn't thrown the question back to her, Yang Lu might not have bothered with her at this moment.

Even if she had said something like 'a lie would help me' and stated the specific method, Yang Lu wouldn't have raised her Diamond Umbrella again.

Unfortunately, Su Nan ultimately didn't seize this opportunity, which is why she faced a second test.

Now, Yang Lu's meaning was very clear. Although she hadn't asked the question directly, with Su Nan's cleverness, since she knew how to deliberately throw the question back, it was impossible for her not to understand what Yang Lu wanted to ask. If the other party still deliberately played dumb and chose to avoid this question at this moment, then Yang Lu wouldn't have the slightest hesitation, and with a wave of her hand, she would finish off Su Nan, regardless of what Zhang Lin at the Crescent Hotel might say.

Because Yang Lu was now certain of one thing: if keeping Su Nan alive was a particularly important matter, Zhang Lin would absolutely not wait until the Crescent Hotel to send her a message, but would directly give such an order to Xue Long, telling the other party absolutely not to take action.

In other words, if Su Nan was still useful now, Yang Lu would naturally follow the order. But since things weren't like that at all, Yang Lu became uninhibited.

Su Nan became incredibly nervous, not expecting things to reach such a point. From the beginning, perhaps Su Nan knew her survival rate might not even be twenty percent, but later she felt that with her little cleverness, she could save all this.

She had breathed a sigh of relief before, but now that breath was held again. The situation became increasingly critical; even Wang Canghai, who was watching the live broadcast, had sweat on his forehead. This was his only chance to get the Dust-Bead, and perhaps the last chance to save his life.

Even if the Dust-Bead couldn't make him an immortal, since Zhang Lin was convinced that the Dust-Bead could help everyone in the Second Archaeological Team lift the curse, as long as the Dust-Bead was in his hands, Zhang Lin wouldn't easily target him.

This could instead become the most important bargaining chip in his hands, which was also Wang Canghai's strategy to kill two birds with one stone.

If it were just targeting the Second Archaeological Team to cause trouble for Zhang Lin, there was no telling what would happen then.

Zhang Lin had now completely revealed his strength, and Wang Canghai wouldn't be stupid enough to think he could get even a shred of an opportunity under Zhang Lin.

So he had to follow his favorite method, which was to use certain things to threaten Zhang Lin; this was the best way.

Having figured this out, Wang Canghai was more nervous than anyone else. If Su Nan died, it would at most cost her life, and he wouldn't be able to save Wang Cang either.

What would happen to Wang Cang later would depend on himself; it was what they called leaving it to fate. But Su Nan knew very well that having found an opponent like Zhang Lin, plus the mysterious person giving advice from behind the scenes, Wang Cang definitely wouldn't have a good ending. Another important point was that Su Nan didn't know what Wang Cang was thinking right now.

She had glanced at her satellite phone earlier and knew that Wang Cang had indeed tried to contact her again. This also confirmed from the side what Wang Canghai had said. If she hadn't met Yang Lu ten-plus minutes ago and had felt the phone vibrate, she would have answered it without hesitation.

But at this moment, she could only choose to turn a blind eye, because rather than knowing what Wang Cang was thinking, it was better to think about what she should do next.

Now there were only two paths before Su Nan: either truly betray Wang Cang—even if she didn't do so in subsequent actions, she had to tell Yang Lu the specific situation of the other party.

She figured this was the answer the leader Yang was waiting for. If it were before, Su Nan only needed to make a promise, but now she needed to tell the other party all the details.

Su Nan took a deep breath, hoping for more time to think, so as to come up with the most perfect strategy.

But Yang Lu applied a little more force with her hand, and Su Nan understood that she had no time to think. The other party wouldn't give her this opportunity; this was the leader of the Mountain-Moving Sect, not a three-year-old child.

Thinking of this, Su Nan gritted her teeth, pondering that even if she exposed some of Wang Cang's actions now, it shouldn't have too much impact on subsequent matters.

Anyway, Zhang Lin in the Crescent Hotel could see everything. Since that was the case, it seemed meaningless to dwell on these messy things.

"Team Leader Yang, you just want to know what Wang Cang's specific purpose is now, right?"

Su Nan asked this question first. As for where Wang Cang was, there was no need to explain; Wang Cang's current focus was just following the First Archaeological Team, nothing else.

Everyone was waiting for Zhang Lin to board the Crescent Hotel; conversely, only Yang Lu had a certain degree of autonomous choice here.

Hearing this question, Yang Lu smiled indifferently. Since she had to wait for Zhang Lin to appear anyway, she had long decided to rest here.

The purpose of having everyone come down was also this; they couldn't rashly continue to charge forward, as that would only cause the entire team's rhythm to lose balance.

Even Yang Lu, who had a certain degree of autonomous choice, couldn't wantonly squander the opportunities Zhang Lin had given her.

"That's right, but before that, I'll ask you another question: is the Wang Cang currently in the Second Archaeological Team real?"

Su Nan couldn't help but be dumbfounded, not knowing why Yang Lu would suddenly ask this question, but her heart skipped a beat. The fact that the Wang family controlled the art of disguise should have already been exposed before this.

That was why Yang Lu asked this. Since he could go through one disguise, there could be a second or even a third; this was normal.

Having figured this out, Su Nan hurriedly said, "I stake my life on it: the one currently in the First Archaeological Team is the genuine Wang Cang."

In fact, Su Nan could have chosen to lie at this moment, telling Yang Lu that this Wang Cang was a fake who had undergone a second disguise.

Having figured this point out, Su Nan hurriedly said, "I stake my life on it, the one currently in the first archaeological team is the genuine Wang Cen."

In reality, Su Nan might have chosen to lie at this moment, telling Yang Wusu that this Wang Cen was simply a disguise that had undergone a second round of facial alteration.
