Lu Fan was somewhat stunned and asked him a crucial question.

"So what do you think of the Wang family's strength? With your current abilities, can you take them down?"

Even with my help, do you think the other side would accept us on this land?

Every single word of these sentences is crucial, and their relevance to the current situation makes them feel somewhat helpless.

After all, even they couldn't solve this problem right now, and Lu Fan, who was standing next to him, wanted to see how this person would respond.

As for this area, even if it is not brought under his control, it might not be a bad thing if it were in Sun Tao's hands.

Furthermore, Huang Lao is constantly interfering with him there. If Sun Tao rises to power, he can gain another ally, and at that time, he will also lean towards this side in his actions. Wouldn't that be leaving him a way out?

He also agreed with this ambition, but he thought the method of pursuing personal gain was rather unlikely. If it were really possible, Huang Lao wouldn't have spent so much time on it.

Furthermore, a wager was proposed to reunite the forces in these two regions.

Each of these things requires a lot of effort, resources, and money. He couldn't believe that Old Huang had done so many thankless things and ended up with nothing.

Or rather, it's not even as good as the tiny tricks of the person in front of you.

Seeing that Sun Tao next to him was still silent, with a look of complete rapture on his face, Lu Fan couldn't help but tease him.

"I can tell you definitively that there is another capable person behind me, and his goal is also this entire area."

Everything I have today is, to some extent, inseparable from them.

But now you're saying this to me, which I don't quite understand. I'd also like to know if your next question can resolve our current predicament!

Sun Yue then snapped out of his own fantasy, looked at Lu Fan, and his gaze gradually softened.

"I can tell you with certainty that leaving them here is the safest option, especially this one in front of you, who has been the subject of a lot of news."

Those news reports were enough to make the Wang family want to cause him trouble. Do you think the Wang family, with their power, would let that bodyguard of his let them off the hook?

After he finished speaking, he looked at the two of them, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes.

In that instant, Lu Fan also turned his head to look at the two of them. He had already instructed them before they came here not to make a fuss.

After all, this area is not under his command, and if a real problem arises, he cannot arrive immediately. Given these limitations, the safety of these two must be protected entirely by him.

"I paid a heavy price to protect these two, and now we're at a critical moment."

I had no choice but to temporarily detain them here. Don't worry, they will be released once this situation calms down.

As they were talking, another person came up behind them and handed Lu Fan a newspaper. When Lu Fan looked at what was on it, he was stunned. It revealed too many dark secrets.

Exposing even the industry's inside stories is undoubtedly taking away the profits of many people.

Such actions naturally aroused public anger, and others would naturally follow suit and take action against them.

"Did you make all of this? Before I sent you here, I specifically told you to put your safety first, and that you could ignore everything else."

Now Lu Fan finally understands why he did this. If it were anyone else, the consequences of the trouble caused by Shan Se and the other two would be dire.

Moreover, at this time, Sun Tao also has to maintain the safety of his own side, which naturally puts him in a difficult position.

Nangong Qi, who was standing next to him, stepped forward and looked at Lu Fan.

"I did all of these things by myself, and now I've discovered so many inside stories and so many harms."

As an upright person with a conscience, how could I possibly refrain from exposing them?

Furthermore, shouldn't all of this be their fault? They attacked me; that's the root of all evil!

Hearing these words, Lu Fan was at a loss for words for a moment, but after thinking for a while, he realized that the person in front of him was the eldest daughter of the Nangong family.

She has always been the one who is loved and pampered since childhood, and it is probably something that no one has ever dared to refuse.

If this person is the only one in Jinghai, then whatever he says carries considerable weight.

Unfortunately, no one would care about his father's reputation when he said things in this area, which would naturally cause a lot of conflicts. He looked at Sun Tao next to him.

“I will take care of their affairs from now on. This place doesn’t seem suitable either, so let them stay here.”

Looking at Sun Tao, he realized that this man had suffered far more than he had imagined, and if he were to be petty, it would make him seem rather narrow-minded.

Now that things have progressed to this point, he understands that some things are definitely not as simple as they seem.

Since that's the case, he had nothing more to say. Sun Tao, standing to the side, simply smiled slightly, his gaze fixed on Lu Fan, a hint of something else in his eyes.

"Brother Lu, what are you saying? These two have helped me a lot. Although we paid a considerable price for them, it also brought direct benefits, which is why we are becoming stronger and stronger now."

Those things completely unified this area that was previously plagued by unhealthy competition.

After he finished speaking, he looked at Lu Fan. Perhaps he was a little hesitant. If Lu Fan took them all away this time, he would naturally not care about them anymore.

By then, his role will be much smaller. In Lu Fan's mention of the conversation just now, his backers also wanted this entire area.

This naturally contradicted his code of conduct, and at the same time, he also wanted to know just how powerful the people who had supported Lu Fan all this time were.

After all, this matter was equally important to him.

If it can be further improved, it will inevitably become even more powerful.

"Mr. Lu, I'd like to know who exactly is behind you? I'm also willing to share my thoughts with him."

"Sharing happiness is better than enjoying it alone. I grew up here in a poor family and can't bear to see the poor, so I want to help you all build up this place."

Seeing that Lu Fan no longer had the composure he had before, Lu Fan noticed something amiss.
