Chapter 2950: Evading the Question and Talking About Other Things

He had assumed it was nothing more than a mirage, but Zhang Lin himself had said earlier that if it really were that so-called mirage-induced illusion,

then even though what Archaeology Team Two saw inside it was that so-called illusion, what the livestream cameras saw was the most real footage.

This also proves that Uncle Ming really did eat that pot of beef, but who exactly cooked the beef has become the biggest question.

The next moment, someone inside the New Moon Restaurant finally asked this crucial question.

"Mr. Zhang, what's actually going on with this pot of beef? Could it really be ghosts? If he's real, then someone must have stewed this beef, right?"

Zhang Lin gave a faint smile and said, "Actually, there's nothing wrong with understanding it that way."

Everyone had thought Zhang Lin would continue explaining, but unexpectedly, the next moment Zhang Lin's tone simply paused, and precisely because of that, as everyone exchanged glances, a wry smile crept onto their lips.

Perhaps this is Zhang Lin's style — at every critical moment he always tries every possible way to keep people in suspense and stir up everyone's emotions; no one knows what Archaeology Team Two will have to face next.

If there is still one person in this world who can predict what comes next, it can only be Zhang Lin.

So everyone was anxiously hoping Zhang Lin would quickly say what happened next, but even so, the initiative in all of this still ultimately rested with him.

If Zhang Lin didn't take the initiative to talk about what came next, no one could force him to say anything — everyone understood this, so they could only obediently wait.

Zhang Lin looked through a reader's phone at the current situation of Archaeology Team Two.

"I've emphasized to you before that there aren't so many messy, inexplicable things in this world; everything can be traced to a cause. Take the current situation, for instance — it's exactly that. So if we want to get to the truth here, we can only see whether the thing that appears next actually has the ability to stew this beef."

The situation triggered by this beef made everyone feel inexplicably uneasy. The key point is that Zhang Lin now isn't deliberately explaining anything; instead, he's somewhat evading the question and talking about other things — this is not the answer anyone wants to hear!

But some clever people also realized that the reason Zhang Lin isn't speaking might be that he's guarding against something — whether a certain person or a certain matter. Take Wang Canghai, who is watching the livestream right now: his brow is furrowed deeper than anyone's.

Wang Canghai was the first to realize that Zhang Lin speaking in this way was deliberately guarding against him, yet the most baffled person right now is also him.

Because according to Zhang Lin's usual habits, he would never explain a matter in this manner; no matter how urgent the situation, Zhang Lin always says exactly what there is to say.

Even if he really wanted to take some precautions or deliberately set a trap, he would do so openly — what he used was always an overt scheme. This is also the reason Wang Canghai has never been able to avoid these things.

Wang Canghai tried every possible way to guess, and figured that at this moment Zhang Lin's meaning should be to guard against him contacting Su Nan, even though Su Nan couldn't answer his call openly right now.

But if he really sent a message, Su Nan could find a chance to avoid the livestream cameras and Yang Lu, and could then fully receive his orders.

Thinking of this, Wang Canghai smoothly picked up his phone, but then he once again showed a self-mocking smile, for a simple reason.

Even if he were allowed to issue an order at this moment, what way should he use to say it, or rather, what should he say — that itself was a problem.

Casually passing along an order was very easy for Wang Canghai, but the key was what kind of impact such an order would cause afterward, and whether the result of that impact was something he could accept.

At this thought, Wang Canghai couldn't help but feel his mind in complete turmoil. In fact, it wasn't just Wang Canghai — everyone listening to Zhang Lin tell his story felt a massive headache, because Zhang Lin's usual habit, even when he does keep people in suspense, was that as long as he talked about something, he would always give the details; otherwise he'd simply tell them to keep waiting.

And this time, Zhang Lin's words, translated into the most straightforward language, meant that what Archaeology Team Two was about to face could only be explored by themselves.

If Zhang Lin had expressed his intention in this way from the very beginning, everyone would probably have exploded.

But now everyone could only silently endure it. The message was synced to both archaeology teams. Archaeology Team Two was fine with it — they had long been used to Zhang Lin conveying instructions to them in this manner.

Even without any instructions, acting entirely on their own was no problem at all. In any case, this time Zhang Lin was using everything to train each of them in their ability to respond to critical situations.

Since this was about training that ability, these people couldn't just hide in a wardrobe to avoid it, or forever wait for Zhang Lin to issue the corresponding orders before doing anything.

But at this moment, after Archaeology Team One received the message, Fatty and Wu Tianzhen exchanged glances, and Fatty at this point was completely without scruples, though he still kept his voice low.
