Chapter 3366: The Time Has Not Come! Steady Your Heart!

~6 min read 1,066 words

And looking at the current situation of Archaeology Team Two, it was even more delicate — no internal issues had arisen among them, which was only to be expected.

Su Nan and this Yang Lu Si had not caused any trouble. Although her role was not as significant as Wang Cen's, as long as she kept up this silence along the way, doing nothing and simply following Archaeology Team Two, that in itself was a form of help to the archaeology team.

Yang Lu Si was not counting on Su Nan to do anything. She knew that the other's mindset was currently in a state of imbalance — this was not something Yang Lu Si had imagined on her own.

It was that the real situation had indeed reached that point. After all, there was still a Wang Cen in the mix, and she knew that everything Wang Cen did was for her sake.

Based on this, Su Nan's mindset could not possibly remain balanced. Yet precisely because of this constantly unfolding imbalance, Su Nan was still able to convince herself to maintain this quiet state — a point that was rather rare, and the one that comforted Yang Lu Si the most.

If this Su Nan could not adjust her own state, then Yang Lu Si could only act ahead of time to make her quiet down.

But once that kind of choice was made, Yang Lu Si also understood that Wang Cen's side would inevitably raise questions at the first moment — defection was even possible — and he would not shrink from it even with Zhang Lin's constraints in place.

After all, he could not bear to see Su Nan suffer even the slightest harm. So while this matter could be concealed through official channels, after all, under the state of a livestream with that mysterious person watching, who knew whether the mysterious person might contact Wang Cen through some means and let him know about it.

Although Wang Cen had not spoken up at the start, everyone could see clearly that if even a single hair on Su Nan's head were lost, Wang Cen probably would not cooperate with the archaeology team anymore — that was reality.

Actually, there was nothing wrong with this point. Even Zhang Lin expressed understanding. After all, facing the woman he loved, once he had chosen to go to his death generously, he absolutely would not wish for her to suffer even the slightest harm.

If there were even the slightest deviation here, in the end it would very likely cause him to collapse first. And once the scales in Wang Cen's heart completely shattered, then everything would lose its original meaning.

This point, Zhang Lin understood better than anyone, so even now when Zhang Lin made choices, he was in fact being extremely careful.

He did not wish for certain matters to cause Wang Cen's already-firm resolve to suddenly change. If that happened, Zhang Lin would probably fly into a rage again. Although he currently had fury in his heart, he had not shown it on the surface.

But if something like Wang Cen defecting were to happen, then Zhang Lin would definitely find the responsible party at the first moment and then mete out punishment. This was Zhang Lin's pride, and also his helplessness when all the painstaking arrangements he had made before were about to come to nothing.

But precisely because Zhang Lin now understood very clearly, something like that would not happen — after all, the one heading to Archaeology Team Two was Wang Canghai.

But the leader of Archaeology Team Two was Yang Lu Si. Just on this point alone, the situation would not change too drastically, because Yang Lu Si knew what mattered most and what could wait.

At the same time, she could truly, one hundred percent, act in accordance with the orders Zhang Lin issued. With this point satisfied and this major premise in place, Zhang Lin naturally had no need to worry too much. It was precisely Archaeology Team One that would see greater deviation if something similar happened.

For example, the current situation could actually illustrate everything perfectly. Even Zhang Lin had not expected at the start that Fatty would make this kind of choice — yet now Fatty had become the biggest variable.

But for now, Zhang Lin was still not in a hurry, and Mr. Wang naturally would not raise corresponding questions either. After all, at the very beginning Mr. Wang had laid out his questions right away.

And he had sought Zhang Lin's opinion on whether to have his own people step in directly. But at that time Zhang Lin had not given any subjective answer; instead, he talked around the subject and asked other questions.

Mr. Wang was a smart man, so he understood very well that either Zhang Lin was deliberately changing the subject, or he felt this matter was simply not as important as the questions he had asked, and that he could make up for it later, or that the time for it simply had not arrived yet.

So they all had no need to worry — this was the great premise of everything. As long as this great premise was satisfied, everyone could set their minds at ease, Zhang Lin himself included, and even Mr. Wang and his people were the same.

In the final analysis, the core issue Mr. Wang now had to face was still how to answer what Zhang Lin had just said. Mr. Wang also admitted to himself that he had indeed thrown some questions straight back at Zhang Lin.

At the same time, he was also testing — on one hand, to see how exactly Zhang Lin would answer once he made this kind of choice.

And through the other's answer, one could also clearly see whether Zhang Lin was truly that composed, or relatively easy to talk to.

If this question alone drew Zhang Lin's fury, then even if Mr. Wang would not change his current plan, he would reconsider whether his cooperation with Zhang Lin should effectively continue.

Because an emotionally unstable, easily angered partner or master — he absolutely did not want to choose again. There was no need to discuss anything else. If it really were the case, he would directly associate it with the Wang Canghai of the past.
