Chapter 3091: Mr. Zhang Believes—What Right Do You Have Not To?!

It was absolutely not the mysterious person he had imagined.

Because the fact that the other party could now say such a thing proved that even if he helped him complete those matters afterward, he would not honor his promise.

Wang Canghai's mistake was actually right here—he assumed you were merely using Su Nan's life to threaten the other party, and that it would be a permanent solution in the end.

But he never considered that even if things really developed as he imagined, Wang Cen would still be on guard.

He always considered himself a clever man, which may not be wrong, but treating Wang Cen as a fool—that was where Wang Canghai was wrong.

Wang Cen had already made up his mind about who to trust, so at most he was only afraid now. Before the events about to happen to Archaeology Team Two, he had already decided that no matter what the situation there turned out to be,

Zhang Lin could resolve everything anyway, and Wang Canghai's step-by-step pressure was precisely an attempt to crush his mindset, leading him to make the wrong decision.

Since Wang Cen had already figured all this out, he naturally would not make such a foolish mistake.

Then Wang Cen said, "Actually, everything you've guessed is correct. It was that mysterious person who called me and threatened me. But my thinking is very firm—regardless of whether you believe it or not, I know who I can ultimately trust, and who can help me solve all my problems. I'm clearer on this than anyone!"

Hearing these words, Wu Tianzhen and Fatty exchanged a glance and nodded simultaneously.

They did not press the matter further. If certain things were truly exposed, Wang Cen would not have made this kind of choice.

The fact that Wang Cen now appeared so calm and composed meant there should be no major problem—this was the consensus among everyone.

Yet the barrage of comments was filled with discordant voices.

【Why insist on believing this Wang Cen? His words are obviously burning newspapers at a grave to fool the ghosts!】

【You're acting like a total fool! Since Mr. Zhang believes him, what gives you the right not to?!】

【Mr. Zhang might just be deliberately digging a pit for this Wang Cen to jump into.】

【Besides, who says we believe him! This so-called trust is built on the basis of cooperation—don't doubt Mr. Zhang's decisions and judgment.】

【But this Wang Cen is a dangerous figure. God knows whether he's truly doing this for Su Nan.】

【Agreed. When he fired at Su Nan at the start, he didn't hesitate at all.】

【At such close range, he only hit the rock behind. If he really wanted to kill her, a hundred Su Nans would already be gone.】

The barrage was noisy and chaotic, but no matter how they argued, they could not change the current pace of Archaeology Team One.

Just now, when Wu Tianzhen decided to continue moving forward, everyone's face showed that excitement, because Archaeology Team Two was now in a relatively cautious state.

Moreover, Wang Canghai would still arrive there afterward. As for the mysterious person coming, even though Wang Cen had spoken of it and the archaeology team had learned of it, Yang Lu-si did not care.

It was just one more person, after all. Many people had already reached Archaeology Team Two wanting to influence their subsequent progress.

Previously at Gawa, and then with Su Nan, Yang Lu-si had led the people of Archaeology Team Two to deal with each one, and never cared about these people's covetous appearances. But what Yang Lu-si did not know was that this time was completely different—as could be seen from Xue Long's reaction just now.

If the mysterious person coming was truly like those before, then Xue Long would also have appeared calm and composed—after all, he was someone who had followed Wang Canghai. But now it was exactly the opposite. Xue Long was deeply aware of how difficult the road ahead would be, and what they would have to face.

Wang Canghai was about to arrive. If things proceeded according to Xue Long's thinking, Wang Canghai's approach would essentially take one of two paths.

Either he would simply join Archaeology Team Two under the identity of that mysterious person. He believed Wang Canghai had the ability to convince Yang Lu-si to believe him—unless Zhang Lin above the New Moon Restaurant forcibly intervened in all this. But if Wang Canghai carried a hidden danger, he could strike at any moment.

Zhang Lin might then no longer intervene in the situation. Xue Long naturally saw this point clearly, so he believed Wang Canghai making this choice would be the most correct one.

It would also bring the greatest threat to Zhang Lin. Up to now, Xue Long still did not know what Zhang Lin would do if Wang Canghai truly used this method to forcefully infiltrate Archaeology Team Two.

But since Zhang Lin had already thought everything through before this and simply hadn't told Xue Long what to do, Xue Long naturally had to set his mind at ease and wholeheartedly trust that Zhang Lin could solve all the problems.

The second possibility was that Wang Canghai had truly fallen into that kind of frenzied and uncontrollable state, so he would not bother with all that messy stuff, nor would he use any disguise.

Or rather, he would abandon all methods of letting others think he was the mysterious person behind the Wang family rather than Wang Canghai.

He would come straight in with extreme measures to seize the Dust-avoiding Pearl, then accomplish his subsequent goals. But Xue Long considered this possibility extremely slim.

Because Wang Canghai was, after all, no fool. He had lived for over three hundred years, and his way of handling many things was different from others.

And even when provoked to the point of madness, Wang Canghai could ultimately calm himself down—this was certain.

So under this premise, Wang Canghai should clearly understand what he needed to do and which method would be most effective. Although this was only Xue Long's own analysis, he believed Zhang Lin's side might think the same way.

The reason Xue Long had sighed so deeply just now was that this matter still could not be told to Yang Lu-si, because Wang Canghai's identity could not be exposed. But the real threat Wang Canghai brought was right there and could not be ignored.

Xue Long had actually several times been unable to resist wanting to tell Yang Lu-si about this matter, but at the last moment he thought of Zhang Lin's instructions and backed off.

Although Zhang Lin had not said it explicitly, that message was already enough—this matter absolutely could not be let Yang Lu-si know.

Actually, from Xue Long's perspective, since Yang Lu-si was the leader of the Bandits and her ability to withstand pressure was so strong, why couldn't they tell her that the mysterious person's identity was Wang Canghai?

And Yang Lu-si would certainly keep her mouth shut, and afterward handle everything according to the original plan. So he did not really understand Zhang Lin's choice this time.

This was actually because Xue Long did not understand the severity of the situation, and his perception of Wang Canghai's strength was not clear enough.
