Chapter 3062: The Atmosphere Falls Silent! The Phone's Ring Breaks the Ice!

Faced with such an inevitability, Wang Canghai was forever in a state of stubborn delusion; right now he knew perfectly well that even if he couldn't hold back this anger, it wouldn't have any effect at all.

It wouldn't even offer any subjective help for what he had to do afterward, yet Wang Canghai still gazed out the window with his fists clenched, and for a moment even wondered whether he should scrap his plan and simply head straight over to Archaeology Team One's side.

If compared to Xue Long now, he hated this Wang Cen even more—after all, Xue Long had already betrayed him for quite some time, and at the same time Xue Long had gained far more than Wang Cen.

Yet what Wang Canghai saw regarding Wang Cen was a completely different situation: not only did Wang Cen not gain as much benefit as Xue Long, but what he paid out versus what he gained was completely disproportionate—something no one could accept, yet Wang Cen accepted it anyway.

Could it be that Su Nan's illness was really that important to Wang Cen? Wang Canghai had now also sorted out the logic: it was nothing more than Wang Cen seeing that the situation was changing, and on that basis trying every means to protect Su Nan.

He had to admit that Wang Canghai now felt some regret. Back then, if he hadn't pressed step by step, constantly dragging Su Nan out to intimidate the other party—

In Wang Canghai's view, the other side might not have been driven to desperation and chosen to throw in with Zhang Lin. According to Wang Cen's original thinking, anyone could stand on Zhang Lin's side—except himself.

Because he had already forged a deadly grudge with Yang Lu Si, and Yang Lu Si had also put out word that she absolutely had to have his life.

On that premise, he was very clear about what choice he should make afterward, yet Wang Canghai added a helping hand, which led Wang Cen to treat a dead horse as if it were alive and be forced to make this kind of choice.

At the same time, Wang Cen was now feeling relieved.

Relieved that he had been able to choose the correct path. If he had continued cooperating with Wang Canghai and accepting his orders, it wouldn't simply be like seeking the tiger's skin—it would be more like drinking poison to quench thirst.

At some unknown moment, a sudden crisis would come crashing down, and then inexplicably he'd lose his life over it—whether him or Su Nan, it would be the same.

But now things were different. Even if Wang Cen knew clearly he was going to die, dying had to be dying with full clarity; what he feared most was dying in the end without the slightest understanding.

And at this moment, after Wang Canghai had calmed down, he recalled the situation of the murals, and at the same time shifted his gaze once more to Archaeology Team One.

Although he didn't want to see Wang Cen's face, nor Wu Tianzhen's and the others', he had to do it—because only by watching the livestream could he see clearly what was happening with the murals. He hoped that this time he could see through what exactly was recorded in the murals before Zhang Lin did.

To him, this was more important than anything. If he couldn't make it out, Wang Canghai would also conclude that he'd lost another round this time. Right now Zhang Lin hadn't given any response at all.

In Wang Canghai's view, the other party had probably already rested. Although Wang Canghai didn't want to admit it, Zhang Lin's handling of this matter really did appear far too calm and unruffled—perhaps Zhang Lin had always operated in this manner.

Thinking of this, Wang Canghai couldn't help raising an eyebrow, because he thought of Wang Cen's situation again, thinking to himself that if he called Wang Cen now, the other party would definitely pick up. The reason he hadn't picked up before was that, just as Wang Canghai himself had said, he had already turned from darkness to light.

So there was absolutely no need to answer this call. If Wang Canghai made the call, Wang Cen might think he was trying to trick words out of him.

On that premise, Wang Cen certainly wouldn't have the nerve to pick up the call. But the situation now was completely different.

Wang Cen calling to ask for his opinion meant that whether it was provocation or anything else, as long as Wang Canghai could give Wang Cen an answer—true or false—the other party would choose to listen.

This meant that as long as he made the call now, the other party would inevitably pick up. Wang Canghai felt this was a very rare opportunity; he could use this method to persuade Wang Cen to throw in with him once more. To be honest, Wang Canghai having such a thought was truly far too naive.

It also stemmed from the confidence he had always had in his grasp of human nature. If not for this kind of confidence, Wang Canghai wouldn't have been foolish enough to make this kind of choice.

After thinking this through, Wang Canghai checked the time and felt the moment was about right. At this time, Archaeology Team One was still agonizing over whether to ask Zhang Lin what exactly was going on.

In Archaeology Team Two, if they encountered any situation and wanted to ask Zhang Lin, they still had to keep it under wraps—after all, Xue Long wasn't openly placed there as someone who contacted Zhang Lin.

Including Yang Lu Si—although privately she could get in touch with Zhang Lin, because the relationship between the two had to be kept hidden, she also couldn't be too brazen about doing this kind of thing.

But Archaeology Team One was completely different. Wu Ya had been sent by Zhang Lin to Archaeology Team One, which could be said to be out in the open, and moreover she had already been exposed at the New Moon Hotel earlier.

Zhang Lin had stated plainly that she was his assistant. Based on this, Wu Ya could now contact the already-rested Zhang Lin without any scruple—of course, this was a safeguard Zhang Lin had given him, and also a golden pass for her.

But at the same time, if the matter wasn't that urgent, Wu Ya contacting Zhang Lin so aggressively would clearly invite the other party's displeasure. Even if Zhang Lin didn't think that way, others would.

This was the direction of public opinion, and precisely because of this reason, Archaeology Team One had fallen into this kind of indecision, and for a moment the atmosphere was very oppressive.

And just at this moment, Wang Canghai felt the timing was just right. If he didn't make this call now, everything might already be too late.

After all, right now Archaeology Team One definitely couldn't figure out what was going on with the murals relying on themselves. And although Wang Canghai wasn't certain either, he could make up all kinds of nonsense about microorganisms, or drag in the eye-jet thing—none of it would be a problem.

After all, they were all microorganism-like existences. Based on this, he could combine the two, then first make Wang Cen believe him, and finally Wang Cen would have no choice but to stand on his side. At the same time, he could offer a higher price, and he believed Wang Cen would come around. These were the thoughts Wang Canghai was entertaining at this moment.

If he went to Archaeology Team Two while Wang Cen was on Archaeology Team One, the two could still coordinate. At that point, even if the two archaeology teams truly completed cooperation under Zhang Lin's prompting, Wang Canghai wouldn't need to worry at all—because by then he could also achieve coordination from within and without, after all Wang Cen was still his man.
