Chapter 3092: What exactly are you hiding? Tell everyone!

This matter could be seen from one point earlier—no one had known about the Wang family's existence beside Wang Canghai for such a long time.

He only learned of this later through a phone call, so Xue Long ultimately never came to understand Wang Canghai too well.

That he could know Wang Canghai's current identity was already quite a surprise to Zhang Lin; in Zhang Lin's view, the best approach for Wang Canghai might well have been not to reveal his identity to Xue Long.

But rather to keep it hidden all along—at least in Xue Long's impression, if Wang Canghai were also that mysterious person, it would be a safer outcome for Wang Canghai.

Even at the end, when Xue Long saw himself repeatedly losing composure, he wouldn't have needed to think about killing to silence anyone; at that point Xue Long should still have been a dog under his command, and Wang Canghai wouldn't have been left without anyone to use, reduced to such an awkward position.

Unfortunately, things ultimately did not go as wished—Wang Canghai did not do so. Perhaps this was one of his mistakes, but these were not what Zhang Lin needed to consider.

If Zhang Lin did not personally go to the Second Archaeology Team now, then Wang Canghai's identity had to be kept hidden, and this was not only aimed at those readers, but also at Yang Lu herself.

If, without any scruple, he told her about Wang Canghai's identity, and Yang Lu adjusted her mindset, perhaps it would be fine; but if by any chance she couldn't adjust, everything would directly lose the balance it had maintained without hesitation, and Zhang Lin would undoubtedly be the culprit.

Zhang Lin did not want his junior sister to become at a loss, and facing the threat Wang Canghai brought, many people likely could not adjust their mindset—this was also what Zhang Lin saw as the top priority.

Since that was the case, Zhang Lin had the obligation to protect Yang Lu well. Now that he could not personally be present, even if he had to do it from afar, he would do so without hesitation.

This was also a kind of behavior born of great skill and boldness; if Zhang Lin had not controlled the tomb to such a degree, perhaps he would not have had the courage to use this kind of strategic method to direct everything.

And the choices Zhang Lin faced were not quite the same as those of others, though many people also understood Zhang Lin's way. Although they did not know the specific reasons, they only needed to be sure of one thing.

Zhang Lin would not harm the archaeology team—no matter which team or which person it was—unless someone, like Sun Wu before, chose to betray and turn their spear against their own teammates. In such a situation, Zhang Lin would help the archaeology team eliminate these hidden dangers at the first moment; otherwise, this would never happen.

But if they lost their lives through their own carelessness in the tomb, Zhang Lin likewise would say nothing. In such a dangerous environment, either they relied on their own ability, or their team leader, with sufficient attention divided, could help them solve certain problems.

The former was fundamental; the latter depended entirely on luck. After all, as team leaders or the main combat force of the archaeology team, they often had to face choices they could not escape.

Likely having no time to attend to others—this was also why Zhang Lin felt the Second Archaeology Team's approach was far stronger than the First Archaeology Team's.

After all, the people the Second Archaeology Team brought now all had corresponding self-preservation abilities, but the First Archaeology Team was not necessarily so.

In the Second Archaeology Team, everyone had been in no mood to rest, and at this moment Wang Kaixuan saw a look of hesitation on Xue Long's face.

He could not help but ask: "Xue Long, what exactly are you hiding? Can't you tell everyone? Surely you're not keeping something to yourself?"

At this moment Wang Kaixuan naturally knew Xue Long could not harbor such thoughts, but he really could not hold back his own ideas, so he could only use this kind of goading method to see if he could get Xue Long to speak those truths.

Xue Long gave a wry, helpless laugh, and finally shook his head. He could naturally hear what Wang Kaixuan meant, but at this point, even with the goading, he would not speak of this matter.

Because Yang Lu had already asked him that before, and he still had not said. But Yang Lu was very smart and understood Zhang Lin's approach at the first moment.

Or rather, even if she did not understand, she would still follow Zhang Lin's will and continue forward, and absolutely would not go against Zhang Lin's command. Now it was exactly that awkward situation.

But the reason Wang Kaixuan acted this way was also because the answer Zhang Lin gave yesterday at New Moon Restaurant was very ambiguous; under this premise, many people in the Second Archaeology Team had no confidence.
