Chapter 3089: Is He Truly Desperate Now? Wang Wang Canghai Issues a Direct Threat!

~4 min read 764 words

At least they could conclude that Wang Cen was still not trustworthy under such circumstances, but conversely, Wang Cen was able to go back and forth lobbying with this mysterious person.

And, under the situation of telling Wu Tianzhen the truth, he exploited this mysterious person's desire to pull him back to his side to dig a pit for the other party.

With this line of thinking established, Wang Cen would have completely passed the test.

Holding such thoughts, the Tianzhencai Society let Wang Cen do this matter. Taking a deep breath, he only then picked up the phone.

Yet he did not want to appear as domineering as before, though this did not mean Wang Cen truly intended to betray again. At least he understood that betraying once might still be acceptable—he had a legitimate reason and could follow his inner thoughts.

But if he repeatedly used this two-faced, underhanded approach, then neither Zhang Lin's side nor Wang Wang Canghai's side would allow someone like him to exist.

Perhaps Wang Wang Canghai, having truly no one else to use, would still tolerate such brain-dead behavior from him, but it could not last in the long run—Wang Cen was very clear on this. Given that, Wang Cen could not possibly make that choice.

And how could Wang Wang Canghai not know what Wang Cen was thinking? He did not give the other party a chance to speak.

Instead, he said to himself: "I don't care what you're thinking right now, but if you don't do as I say, I'll arrive at the Second Archaeology Team very soon. At that time, I can ignore everyone else."

"The first thing I'll do is take out Su Nan directly! Think it over carefully. If you've figured it out, message me anytime—but before I reach the Second Archaeology Team. Time is very short now, maybe ten-plus hours at most. Figure it out, or bear the consequences yourself!"

After saying this, Wang Wang Canghai hung up the phone directly. For him, once things had reached this point, there was nothing left to agonize over.

Perhaps rather than thinking about those things, it was better to think about what to do next—and that was the only answer Wang Wang Canghai gave himself.

If he wasted too much time talking nonsense with Wang Cen, he also understood that Hedina could not help him complete the follow-up matters, and it would only leave him with less and less to choose from, which would only make him look guilty.

On this point, Wang Wang Canghai was clearer than anyone, and the awkward predicament Wang Wang Canghai had always faced was precisely this.

After hanging up the phone, Wang Wang Canghai breathed a sigh of relief. Although he could not guarantee a hundred percent that the other party would definitely obey him, at least under these circumstances, he saw hope—and as long as there was hope, it was far better than waiting.

This was a thought Wang Wang Canghai had never changed. Now it seemed as though all the choice had been handed to Wang Cen, but in reality Wang Wang Canghai still held a certain initiative.

At least he could use this method to threaten the other party. He believed that as long as Wang Cen still cared about Su Nan's life, he could not simply toss his words out of his mind entirely.

The other party did not have that much guts. Certain of this, Wang Wang Canghai was convinced he could set his mind at ease.

Looking at the other end, Wang Cen had indeed become somewhat at a loss.

To say Wang Cen was not afraid at all—that was entirely possible. Now he was not only afraid, but also thinking about what he could do afterward. Whether helping Su Nan or helping himself, both were necessary.

But after thinking for a long time, Wang Cen did not get the answer he wanted. Instead, he felt his mind growing more and more chaotic, and that confused emotion made it hard for him to calm down.

He also muttered to himself that he was really too pathetic. Wang Wang Canghai was merely using this method to threaten him, but this time he was not gambling with his own life—he was purely gambling with Su Nan's life.

For Wang Cen, he already understood that his fate had long been sealed to die. Given that, he did not intend to keep struggling.

But if Su Nan also lost her life because of his choice, then all the previous efforts would have been wasted entirely.
