Chapter 3175: What Innocence! Winning People Over Without Leaving a Trace!
Based on this point, there was no need to keep agonizing over it, but if they were to hand their own life and death over to someone else, they would die before being willing to accept it.
This was also the main reason this person was striving so hard to seize the opportunity. Wang Cen turned back to glance at him, shook his head—just a light, fleeting look—and the man lowered his head and said nothing more.
They all knew Wang Cen had already made up his mind irrevocably, so there was simply no way to stop him, yet they still couldn't help sighing endlessly in their hearts.
In fact, if Wang Canghai were to see the situation before him at this moment, he might really get so excited he'd jump up, because the very opportunity he wanted to seize was precisely this kind.
Wang Canghai sending someone to the First Archaeology Team was precisely for this purpose. But he also knew that even when he personally called Wang Cen, he hadn't achieved this effect, so even if he dispatched someone over, he believed it wouldn't be much easier than that.
But Wang Canghai never gave up. Precisely because seeing this scene would change Wang Canghai's mindset—only because Wang Canghai was convinced that disintegrating them from within was now the best approach.
Rather than indirect nudges from the outside, which would only make him seem even more like a drop in the bucket, and even somewhat thankless and unrewarding.
Looking at Wu Tianzhen on the other hand, after hearing Wang Cen say this, he immediately shook his head, then said without the slightest hesitation: "Let's still have the people from both sides meet up and discuss it. I believe we'll ultimately reach a compromise—after all, many hands make light work!"
"On matters like this, we still need to hear the thoughts of every person who understands blasting. If it's just one side's word, then when problems really do arise at the end, you'll look far too wronged. I believe none of you fear death, but every person fears being wrongfully killed."
Hearing these words, the Wang family member who had been hanging his head just now suddenly raised it, and Wang Cen couldn't help but freeze for several seconds. Then Wang Cen didn't even spare a thought for the others.
He said directly: "Worthy of being the leader of the First Archaeology Team—your ability to win people over is even stronger than our Wang family's leaders."
Wu Tianzhen couldn't help but laugh in spite of himself. He hadn't expected Wang Cen to view the problem from such an oddly fresh angle, but perhaps this was understandable.
After all, Wang Cen had already backed himself into a dead end. As long as he wanted to keep Su Nan's life, he had to listen to the archaeology team, and Zhang Lin—there was no other choice offered to him.
Given that, what Wang Cen did afterward was simply to smash the pot and break it all the more. Although Wu Tianzhen had seen this point long before, he never once tried to stop Wang Cen.
Or rather, at the very beginning he had tried his utmost to turn Wang Cen's thinking around, but at the same time he had made corresponding efforts—only without much result—and in the end he had no choice but to give up.
But in hindsight, Wu Tianzhen also figured out that he didn't need to act this way. Even if he did, it seemed to have no meaning at all, and the other party still didn't appreciate it.
In any case, Wang Cen's fate in the end was death—whether he paid with his life as cannon fodder inside Tiangong, or whether in the end he had to stand in front of Yang Lu and wait for that blade, the outcome was already sealed.
So the other party had the capital to go all out in reckless defiance. After thinking this through, Wu Tianzhen felt that what he had been doing was instead deliberately mocking the other party, which was why Wang Cen clung to that earlier mindset.
In fact, even Fatty had already changed his thinking. At this moment he kept a straight face, only watching the situation below. He had also done quite a bit of research on explosives, so he was looking for the blast point—what they called directional blasting. Although Fatty wasn't as precise as a blasting expert, he could still offer his input as an advisor; he certainly wasn't just spouting nonsense.
This point was clear both to Fatty himself and to Wu Tianzhen and the others.
But in the past, if Fatty had heard Wang Cen's words reach his ears, the very first thing he would have done was turn hostile on the spot and accuse the other party of being utterly ungrateful despite being given face!
The opportunity was clearly laid out right before his eyes, yet the other party still spoke like that. That meant this Wang Cen simply hadn't taken the First Archaeology Team seriously, nor had he taken Zhang Lin above the New Moon Restaurant seriously.
After all, this time all the cooperation and opportunities were given to Wang Cen by Zhang Lin. If it were up to the First Archaeology Team alone, even if they had such thoughts they wouldn't dare make the corresponding choice. Only under Zhang Lin's urging, telling them there was no problem cooperating in this manner, did they muster the courage to go talk with the other party about what came next.
