Chapter 3015

So Wang Wang Canghai now had no confidence in avoiding these risks; in his mind, he was certain that no conventional means would allow him to defeat Zhang Lin.

That was why Wang Wang Canghai now found himself caught in indecision. It wasn't that he hadn't considered dealing with the matters on the Second Archaeology Team's side first and then heading straight for the First Archaeology Team.

But earlier, Zhang Lin had, whether intentionally or not, already revealed his subsequent plan: he wanted the two archaeology teams to operate in coordination. At first, although Wang Wang Canghai had seen through this point, he didn't understand why Zhang Lin had made such a choice.

Now, thinking it over carefully, he felt a creeping dread. He realized that the reason Zhang Lin had made this decision was very simple: he had wanted to wait for this very moment, leaving Wang Wang Canghai with no way to choose.

That was to say, back then Zhang Lin had already foreseen that today he would have to take action himself; the opponent's series of plans had all been merely to lure the snake from its hole.

Only at this moment did Wang Wang Canghai finally see through the matter clearly, and immediately afterward, without the slightest hesitation, he dialed Zhang Lin's contact.

On the other end, Zhang Lin gave a faint smile. Seeing that it was Wang Wang Canghai calling, he didn't pause to think for even a moment and picked up the phone right away, asking in a tone that was somewhere between a smile and a smirk: "What is it? Still not giving up?"

Wang Wang Canghai took a deep breath and said: "Zhang Lin, from the very beginning you wanted me to take action myself, didn't you? That's why you went all out to stop the Wang family, recruiting those you could recruit, and for those you couldn't, you simply had those people from the archaeology teams eliminate them directly. I guessed right, didn't I?"

Zhang Lin chuckled and said mockingly: "That's not even a guess anymore. All the facts are laid out right in front of you; even an idiot could see what's really going on."

Zhang Lin's meaning at this moment was very clear. If Wang Canghai had seen through this kind of plan a few days earlier, there would still be something worth noting about him. But he had only figured out the pros and cons involved now—so what was the point of this phone call? Was it a roundabout way of showing off to him?

This wasn't showing off at all; on the contrary, it was slapping his own face. Clearly, Wang Wang Canghai understood this perfectly well too. He gave a helpless smile and said: "Zhang Lin, in my entire life I've never come across an opponent like you. From a certain perspective, you're even more terrifying than the Wanlo King."

At this moment, Wang Wang Canghai couldn't help but unconsciously flatter Zhang Lin a little. At the same time, he had no other intentions; those words came entirely from the heart.

Zhang Lin naturally didn't fall for this, and instead said: "If you'd had this kind of thinking from the start and pulled back earlier, you wouldn't have ended up in the situation you did later. Now you don't have a chance anymore. Could it be that you want to be like the other members of the Wang family, including that Mr. Wang, and throw in your lot with me?"

Zhang Lin couldn't help but crack a joke. At the same time, both he and Wang Wang Canghai were certain that this approach was absolutely impossible. Perhaps Zhang Lin had reason to spare Mr. Wang.

Even if he had eliminated another Wang Cen who was Yang Lu's 【other】, he could let him off the hook, as long as Zhang Lin mentioned this matter to the current Yang Lu.

But as for Wang Wang Canghai, Zhang Lin had no reason whatsoever to spare him. If Wang Wang Canghai hadn't done things so absolutely back then, it might have been possible—after all, reality was indeed so.

Back then, Zhang Lin had indeed given the other side chance after chance. Now, Wang Wang Canghai's call to him probably wasn't for showing off, but at the same time it wasn't to beg for mercy either—it was simply to verify his own guess.

Wang Wang Canghai took another deep breath, ignoring Zhang Lin's words, and said: "Zhang Lin, you should be very clear that next I will choose one of the archaeology teams and then secretly lie in wait. After that, I will definitely affect your choices and judgment. Of course, you're not afraid, but if you don't take action yourself, do you think anyone from those two archaeology teams could be my opponent?"

Wang Wang Canghai still had this kind of confidence. At first, he hadn't wanted to enter the fray personally because he was worried something unexpected might happen. But now that things had reached this point, he knew he had no choice, so he cast aside all his previous Gu Ji. What he was determined to do was simply settle the many troubles at hand.

Although it was impossible to handle all of them, he would deal with as many as he could. First, Wang Wang Canghai still had to make a choice: the so-called path to immortality, or preventing the Wanlo King and Zhang Lin from knowing all of that. Of course, if the probability of achieving immortality were a hundred percent, or even just fifty or sixty percent, Wang Wang Canghai wouldn't have been so torn.
