Because he understands even more clearly that without the other party's help, he wouldn't be who he is today, and all of this could only be accomplished on a certain foundation.
"You're joking. We've always helped each other. Besides, if it weren't for you back then, would I still be alive and kicking here right now?"
He whispered, his heart overflowing with gratitude. Perhaps he knew that all of this had started because of him, and that it was because of him that he had received his reward in life.
"I am now offering you help because perhaps we were always together, both then and now."
After you helped me, I considered you my older brother. Without your help that time, we wouldn't be where we are today.
These words came from Lu Fan's heart, but they also made Sun Tao feel a sense of helplessness, or rather, his own understanding of the matter.
Only at this moment did he finally understand what it meant to plant flowers with care but they don't bloom, while planting willows without intention and they thrive.
Looking at Lu Fan, he spoke frankly about the people he had sponsored.
"You are not the first person I chose to help. I helped quite a few people in the past, but in the end they all chose to betray me."
I've truly experienced what it means to be a tiger fallen into the plains, bullied by dogs. Only then did I understand what it means to be ridiculous, and what it means that some things require a lifetime of effort to achieve.
As he spoke, he looked out the window, where the drifting clouds gave him a sense of the leisurely time that was happening outside.
Lu Fan just smiled slightly. As for other matters, they were beyond his purview, and whether or not he told him was not his responsibility.
Aren't you curious why I'm telling you all this? Or don't you find me ridiculous?
At this moment, Sun Tao felt like a joke, because he had done so much but gained nothing in the end, and instead put himself in danger.
If he hadn't gone to them, those guys wouldn't have put a knife to his throat to kill him.
Not to mention that they are the ones who created this situation. If they didn't know their place, they might be able to live out their peaceful old age here.
After all, the feelings he had experienced over such a long period of time had already caused subtle changes in his heart, and now he felt that it would be good enough to maintain the status quo.
Perhaps this was the source of his final comfort, but at this moment, even that so-called comfort is gone.
If Lu Fan hadn't come today, perhaps he felt that the world should have been filled with his own glory in the future.
But things that are easily lost become incredibly important at this moment.
At this moment, all he wanted was to quietly go to Lu Fan's place and live a peaceful life from then on, no longer caring about anything outside.
He didn't want to waste too much of his time and life dealing with things that didn't matter.
“It’s great to go back this time. I plan to completely withdraw from this stage. From now on, no matter what happens, I will never deal with anything related to this again.”
However, just as he finished speaking, a loud screech of brakes came from ahead, and several cars scattered in all directions from in front of them.
These vehicles surrounded Sun Tao's car, providing him with sufficient safety.
What exactly happened outside?
Upon seeing this, Sun Tao quickly picked up the walkie-talkie in his hand, looked into the distance, and felt extremely conflicted.
He didn't know what had happened just now, but he could sense that it was definitely related to the other party.
"Boss, a few cars have surrounded us outside. Don't worry, as long as you have my brothers' support, I'll definitely protect you!"
The person next to him had just finished speaking when he stepped on the gas, instantly increasing his speed.
The departure of the other party also made Sun Tao see that the vehicles on the side had already surrounded them, even though this was a desert plain.
However, this also made it a natural racing track.
People on the periphery kept shouting loudly through megaphones.
"I say, Mr. Sun, you should surrender now. Don't worry, as long as you surrender, we will forgive and forget about it!"
Amidst those repeated shouts, Mr. Sun became confused. Perhaps he longed for a peaceful life, and he believed that the other party's promise of forgiveness might be genuine.
Or perhaps he genuinely wanted this relationship and longed for it, and his decision was therefore genuine.
Only in this way can he live without any pressure and not need to think too much about what he does.
However, they were well aware of the current situation; that couldn't possibly be true, and the whole matter was under their control.
"Sun Tao, they're all lying to you! Don't believe their schemes!"
Lu Fan glanced at Sun Tao, who looked somewhat confused, and hesitated for a moment. He knew that bringing such a person to his side might bring far more trouble than that.
Or perhaps the world has changed so much that it no longer allows people like them to exist.
But he knew that no matter what happened, he had to make sure the other person got out alive and left with him.
This is exactly what he wanted!
With Lu Fan's shout, Sun Tao was immediately brought back to reality, and the roar of the car engine rang in his ears.
He glanced at Lu Fan, then immediately perked up, and the shouts outside no longer pulled him into the illusion.
Just then, a gap suddenly appeared outside, and the vehicle in question was the same one that had sped up earlier.
However, he was currently sandwiched between two vehicles, looking rather disheveled, and thick smoke was continuously billowing from the vehicles.
Sun Tao's heart was bleeding. These were all elites he had trained for many years, and he treated almost every one of them like his own brothers.
Now the other person is possessing him right next to him, and he is completely powerless to do anything about it.
This is the thing he least wants to accept!
However, the convoy continued to move forward, increasing its speed, in an attempt to take advantage of the opportunity to shake off all the other vehicles.
Directly ahead were Zhang Fan and another car, driving side by side.
Sun Tao's men looked at Zhang Fan; the vehicle they had just seen had made him realize what they needed to do now.
"Brother, you go to the back and protect the whole convoy. I'll drive the road ahead!"
