Chapter 2963

But the matter of King Wannu had already reached Zhang Lin's ears. The fact that the other party could make this call to him meant he was truly interested.

Therefore, in Mr. Wang's cognition, he felt that even if the other party wanted to solve the problem quickly, the first thing he would ask about would be King Wannu, rather than emphasizing this point to him.

Under these circumstances, saying something about not wanting to waste time proved that Zhang Lin was using a subtext to tell Mr. Wang that he had plenty of time.

From this attitude, Mr. Wang could intuitively see that Zhang Lin had already given him a chance, and this chance was much better than he had initially imagined, so he told himself he must seize this opportunity.

The next moment, Mr. Wang immediately said, "Mr. Zhang, I understand that what you are truly interested in is King Wannu."

Hearing this, Zhang Lin nodded subconsciously, then said, "Since you are clear, then tell me how much you know about King Wannu, and also, has Wang Canghai revealed to you over these many years what that hidden hundred-year history is?"

This was what Zhang Lin truly cared about. If it had nothing to do with this premise, Zhang Lin wouldn't even bother with the other party.

Upon hearing this question, Mr. Wang couldn't help but smile bitterly. From his perspective, he also hoped he could solve all of Zhang Lin's problems, but reality was not so.

Zhang Lin had already mentioned King Wannu when introducing the history of Eastern Xia and the Tiangong in the Clouds at the Crescent Hotel, and there was one most important point.

Smart book friends had already discovered the time difference of over a hundred years, which led to that historical problem.

Actually, even if that book friend hadn't raised such a question, Zhang Lin would have talked about it himself. He wanted to use this matter to quietly let Wang Canghai know that those so-called schemes of his had long been seen through by him.

So stop pulling that useless stuff with him. Although doing this would expose his own purpose, it also reflected Zhang Lin's absolute confidence from the side. It was like playing Landlord; Zhang Lin directly flipped his cards to play against the other party.

It showed an extreme disdain.

At first, Wang Canghai was also very unhappy after understanding this, even developing into an uncontrollable rage, but in the end, Wang Canghai instinctively tried his best to calm down.

Perhaps he was also very clear about one thing: rather than angrily wanting to fight Zhang Lin to the death, it was better to seize the gap; perhaps he could obtain certain benefits he wanted.

This was the real thought Wang Canghai held now.

Looking at Mr. Wang, whether he knew what his former master was thinking or not, it was of no use to Zhang Lin.

The fact that Zhang Lin could make this call to him was already an extraordinary favor to Mr. Wang, so the fact that he couldn't answer the first question the other party raised was really a waste of this hard-won opportunity.

Mr. Wang kept thinking in his mind about what method he could use to make Zhang Lin accept his stalling; after all, not knowing was not knowing.

If he fabricated some things about that hundred-year period at this time, once Zhang Lin saw through it, his end might be even more miserable than Wang Canghai's.

He hesitated for a long time without speaking, not expecting Zhang Lin on the other end of the phone to speak first. Actually, through this hesitation, he already had the answer.

If the other party knew even a tiny detail, it would be impossible for him to interpret it to him in this way at this moment, which proved that this Mr. Wang definitely knew nothing about those secrets.

However, this was also within Zhang Lin's expectations. Wang Canghai was not a fool. Zhang Lin believed that even if Mr. Wang showed that absolute sense of loyalty to him,

he would not tell the other party these life-and-death matters.

Wang Canghai should have been very certain from the beginning that no matter how many years passed, this kind of thing must never be known by a second person. Of course, over these three hundred-plus years, he had indeed achieved his goal.

No one knew what those secrets he guarded were.

But Wang Canghai could guard the previous three hundred years, which didn't mean he could still keep these secrets forever in the time that followed, unless he truly died and let these things rot in his stomach.

But with someone like Zhang Lin around, even if Wang Canghai really died, as long as the other party knew of the existence of such things, he would definitely dig for them with all his might.

In this world, as long as something has existed, it is impossible for it not to leave any traces, so Zhang Lin was confident that even if Wang Canghai didn't reveal those secrets himself, he could find them.

This was nothing more than a matter of time.

If Wang Canghai said it himself, it could help Zhang Lin save a lot of time, but now it seemed Wang Canghai had no such intention, so Zhang Lin didn't count on the other party honestly speaking out about these things himself.

The reason he asked Mr. Wang was also to lay a foundation for the other party. Although it was logical that Mr. Wang didn't know about those secrets, if the things the other party said were just trivial matters, Zhang Lin would definitely hang up the phone at the first moment.

"Alright, I won't ask you about these anymore. You mentioned King Wannu to me, so now tell me, what's the deal with him?"

Hearing this, Mr. Wang let out a heavy sigh of relief, and at the same time thanked Zhang Lin for giving him another chance.

Mr. Wang adjusted his state for a while and immediately said, "Actually, I only know one thing, which is that King Wannu once made a promise to Wang Canghai."

Zhang Lin on this end of the phone raised an eyebrow and immediately asked, "Promised what? Tell me specifically."

"King Wannu gave Wang Canghai a time. As long as Wang Canghai could keep his mouth shut about the situation inside the Tiangong in the Clouds and what was behind the bronze door, after this time passed, King Wannu would come out and could help Wang Canghai fulfill his dream of becoming an immortal."

Zhang Lin had no expression of surprise after hearing this, but instead tapped his forehead lightly with his index finger, thinking carefully about the situation within it.

If the so-called promise was to deceive ordinary people, it might work, but for someone like Wang Canghai, it was basically impossible.
