Chapter 2970: Zhang Lin is the one holding the sword! The butcher knife may fall at any time!

Wang Canghai was silent, and Zhang Lin didn't care about that and said directly, "It's very simple: you are too self-righteous, thinking you are some kind of incredible figure, 'traversing three hundred years without an opponent.' It is precisely this cognition that has made you what you are today. Your failure is not an accident."

"And my appearance is not an inevitable result. Even without me, there would be others to stop your ridiculous ideas. You can continue to be obsessed, and the reason I said I wasn't disappointed wasn't because your reaction proved anything, it's just that I wanted to give myself an explanation."

Wang Canghai was stunned after hearing this. Although what Zhang Lin said before didn't sound good, he understood the other party's meaning, but he was truly confused by this sentence.

So he couldn't help but ask, "What explanation do you want?"

Zhang Lin said very casually, "It's very simple: the fact that you can have this reaction now proves you aren't stupid to that extent."

Wang Canghai frowned, becoming more and more unable to understand.

The next moment, Zhang Lin continued, "If you were stupid to an extreme degree, then I would have to change my plan later, because using that method to target you would only make me look particularly cheap. Do you understand now?"

This sentence made Wang Canghai's breathing become disordered instantly. Zhang Lin was scolding him. Although he didn't use any dirty words, this was naked humiliation.

Zhang Lin could clearly hear the sound of Wang Canghai grinding his back teeth on this side of the phone, but this meant his goal was achieved, and he was about to hang up the phone.

He didn't expect Wang Canghai on the other side to roar, "Zhang Lin! You can kill me, but if you humiliate me in this way again, believe it or not, I won't want anything anymore!"

"I can let Su Nan detonate a bomb right now. Even if I can't kill your Yang Lusi, I will make her spend the rest of her life in a wheelchair!"

Hearing this, Zhang Lin shook his head helplessly and said, "Alright, do whatever you want. But reality will tell you that you won't be able to get your wish in the end."

After saying this, Zhang Lin hung up the phone.

Regarding Su Nan, it wasn't that Zhang Lin didn't have arrangements, but one must eat one bite at a time, and all plans must be done slowly. Zhang Lin was clearer about this than anyone else.

The so-called "haste makes waste"—being too anxious would only make one fall into that chaotic state, which was not a choice Zhang Lin would make.

And now Zhang Lin still held all the initiative. Under this premise, he was even less anxious.

As long as Wang Canghai made a move, he would respond. The so-called "meeting moves with moves" was the principle.

Zhang Lin believed that although Wang Canghai spoke aggressively, he had long been dizzy from being messed with by him. He didn't know where to go next.

At the same time, he didn't know how to face the butcher knife that might fall at any time. Now Zhang Lin was the one holding the sword, and Wang Canghai's life and death were decided by his words.

It was just because some secrets hadn't been dug out yet that Zhang Lin wasn't in a hurry to take the other party's life.

And Zhang Lin believed that even if Wang Canghai was this stupid, he should recognize this shallow truth very clearly.

This was why when Zhang Lin mentioned Mr. Wang at the beginning, the other party didn't fly into a rage, but when he used words to nakedly humiliate him, the other party suddenly got a temper.

If it were before, this logic would be reversed.

The current Wang Canghai was in a semi-insane state. His superficial calmness was just to cover up the raging sea in his heart. A person without confidence was destined to be unable to defeat Zhang Lin, let alone the fact that the gap between him and Zhang Lin in strategy was so large.

This was the reality Zhang Lin let Wang Canghai recognize. Crushing his mentality step by step—one reason was mentioned before, which was to make the plan more stable.

Another reason was that through this method, he hoped Wang Canghai would call him in the end and confess all the things that had happened before, which would also save Zhang Lin a lot of trouble.

Wang Canghai wanted to continue to haggle with Zhang Lin, even if it was cursing, he wanted to vent his emotions, but he roared at the phone for nearly two minutes before realizing that Zhang Lin had already hung up, which made Wang Canghai even more angry and crazy.

Actually, this kind of thing was imaginable. Perhaps if it were any other person, they wouldn't be able to truly accept it.

Moreover, for someone like Wang Canghai, who had been in charge of ups and downs for so many years and stood at the peak, no one had ever been able to force him into a dead end in this way.

The former him had that strong confidence and could stand at the peak and look down on everyone. In his view, besides himself, everyone else in this world was just a clown.

The so-called "Heaven and Earth are not benevolent, treating all things as straw dogs."

But that dog would definitely not be him. Zhang Lin even pointed out later where Wang Canghai had gone wrong. But unfortunately, in this crazy state, Wang Canghai couldn't distinguish right from wrong. He could only hold onto his initial thoughts and continue to be obsessed.

Of course, this was also the result Zhang Lin truly wanted. If Wang Canghai wasn't crazy, perhaps his subsequent plans wouldn't be able to succeed so easily.

Seeing the opponent clearly before making plans was always better than "building a car behind closed doors." Fortunately, Wang Canghai's body was much stronger than an ordinary person's!

After all, he was a person who had obtained eternal life; otherwise, he would probably have rolled his eyes back in anger or had a heart attack and died by now.

Actually, even if it weren't like this, Zhang Lin controlled the size of his words very well. The words he just said would definitely make Wang Canghai's mentality explode even more, but at the same time, it could also stir up that stronger sense of unwillingness in his heart. The subsequent result was self-evident.

Wang Canghai would definitely continue to make wrong judgments, and then Zhang Lin, by guiding the situation, could truly grasp the people of the two archaeological teams in his own hands. Zhang Lin wasn't interested in controlling the Wang family members, but if he could help Yang Lusi or Wu Tianzhen, he would still make this choice.

Looking at the second archaeological team at this moment, during the time Zhang Lin was at the Crescent Hotel, actually, the thoughts of everyone in their hearts were different.

Yang Lusi was already used to it, but Wang Kaixuan still couldn't help but raise questions, but in the end, his words were all blocked by Hu Bayi.

Hu Bayi was more certain than anyone else that whether it was questioning or the kind of doubt that came from instinct, saying it out at this time appeared very inappropriate.

Because inside the Crescent Hotel, Zhang Lin had already expressed his attitude very clearly.
