Chapter 3048: One Sentence Pierces the Truth! Breaking Through the Window Paper!

Perhaps from the very start, when Wang Canghai called Zhang Lin to seek cooperation and wanted to establish this kind of relationship, he would have agreed to it directly.

Rather than telling Wang Canghai in a tone of contempt that some things simply weren't realistic, and that the other party shouldn't cling to such naive ideas.

Zhang Lin is sleeping more peacefully than anyone right now, but every party whose interests are at stake basically went the whole night without sleep. Perhaps this is precisely because the answer Zhang Lin gave yesterday at the Crescent Moon Restaurant was ambiguous, yet he left early.

On top of this baseline, they all began to feel uncertain, afraid that Zhang Lin might still make choices later on that would catch everyone off guard and be completely incomprehensible.

At this moment they watched Yang Lu eagerly, hoping she could quickly give them an explanation, otherwise they would remain forever immersed in this inexplicable state.

For anyone, this isn't very comfortable, and they still have to worry about what that mysterious person will do later. Although the Wang family people are no longer here, no one knows exactly what that mysterious person will do.

Perhaps this is also a misconception Yang Lu fell into from the start—if she had seen the existence of this mysterious person, or if she had put this matter on her agenda.

She wouldn't have assumed before that Zhang Lin at this point probably didn't trust her. Even though Yang Lu figured it out herself in the end, she still walked into the corresponding misconception.

Once one falls into this kind of misconception, one won't just stop and pack up.

The next moment, Yang Lu waved her hand at everyone, intending to brush off a few words and let the matter pass. But before she could speak, Wang Kaixuan instinctively said, "Captain Yang, is that mysterious person causing trouble again?"

The concept of this mysterious person was actually established from Wang Cen, and upon hearing this, Yang Lu's eyes lit up, and immediately she had a feeling of sudden enlightenment.

Then she instinctively looked at Xue Long. At this moment Xue Long also reacted—perhaps after the concept of the mysterious person was mentioned, Yang Lu would realize everything.

Sure enough, the actual situation was just as he imagined. The reason Zhang Lin wanted to hide this matter from her in the first place was precisely here. Given the current situation, Xue Long could only remain silent. No matter how much Yang Lu figured out on her own, that was her own spontaneous behavior.

Xue Long couldn't stop her, nor could he truly intervene in anything.

All he could do was this. Even if Zhang Lin really blamed him in the end, Xue Long had no way to gloss things over—the matter could only proceed along this baseline.

Xue Long couldn't help but sigh at this thought, and Wang Kaixuan, seeing the strange state between the two of them, could really sit still no longer. He then glared fiercely at Xue Long.

He said, "You came after everyone else to begin with, and now you're hemming and hawing when you speak. Can you tell us what the situation actually is? Compared to Wu Ya, you're really far behind!"

The reason Wu Ya and Xue Long are being compared is because they assume both of them have a connection to Mr. Zhang. Since that's the case, they will definitely put the two on the same level when discussing matters, just like the current situation.

Xue Long was also stunned, then gave a self-deprecating smile. He still didn't speak, but in his heart he thought that if he could compare to Wu Ya, he wouldn't have to go through such great lengths now.

Precisely because his current situation compared to Wu Ya's is like heaven and earth, he has to face this kind of awkwardness.

After all, Wu Ya is Zhang Lin's assistant, and what is he?

He is nothing more than a chess piece under Zhang Lin right now, and Zhang Lin told him in advance that he wanted him to complete this kind of task. Xue Long still had to do it willingly.

Of course, this was something Xue Long had actively requested, and it could also be considered an opportunity Zhang Lin gave him. Xue Long had no complaints about this.

But after Fatty said this, Xue Long still felt a bitter thought in his heart. However, he quickly destroyed this so-called complaint and bitterness on his own.

He felt he didn't need to hold onto such thoughts, because no matter what happens later, as long as Zhang Lin gives him his promise—

Then the other party will definitely find a way to make it happen. He was absolutely certain of this.

Actually, the moment Wang Kaixuan said this, Yang Lu was also stunned. Then a bitter smile rose at the corner of her mouth, because Yang Lu hadn't expected Wang Kaixuan to be so direct in his speech, even directly linking it to Wu Ya. The people watching the livestream right now can't be a hundred percent certain about the situation inside.

Instead, Wang Kaixuan's words pierced straight through to the truth. But Yang Lu didn't mind—after all, this was just a layer of window paper, and it made no difference at all who pierced through it.

And Wang Canghai, watching the Archaeology Team Two livestream at this moment, suddenly had a somewhat dazed expression. Yang Lu's initial reaction was within his expectations.

Or rather, he also wanted to use this method to sow discord and provoke understanding. At the same time, Wang Canghai also believed that no matter what kind of choice Zhang Lin made to prove things—

He didn't want Yang Lu to learn the full truth at the first moment, and regarding his own identity, Zhang Lin simply couldn't have told Yang Lu.

Whether before or after, it was the same!

After all, the less Yang Lu knew, the slightly safer it was for her. Based on this point, Wang Canghai was a hundred percent certain his judgment couldn't be wrong.

But just then, Wang Canghai felt that what he could use wasn't only this. If Yang Lu's suspicion toward Zhang Lin really grew heavier, perhaps Wang Canghai could take advantage of the opening.

In the past, once Wang Canghai confirmed this point, he wouldn't doubt it anymore—after all, what he was best at exploiting was grasping human nature.

As long as human nature had this kind of weakness, Wang Canghai could maneuver with ease and plan everything perfectly. But now, being led and deceived by Zhang Lin's actions time and time again, he had suffered repeated defeats. Under this premise, Wang Canghai also didn't dare to make the corresponding choice.

However, the next moment he steadied himself, then took a deep breath, striving to maintain that initial calm.

And he told himself forcefully in his heart that making this choice was no problem at all. He believed that no matter how capable Zhang Lin was, he couldn't possibly catch the flaw within it.

At this moment, Wang Canghai changed his plan. Or rather, from the start he hadn't thought of entering Archaeology Team Two as Zhang Lin had said.

Following those messy ideas from the beginning, he would simply wipe them all out and seize the Muchen Pearl. Although doing so would make Wang Canghai worry that Zhang Lin would stay silent about everything afterward.
