Li Tian's pupils contracted slightly upon hearing this.
His gaze was filled with disbelief: "So you've been using me from the very beginning?"
"You already knew that Lin Xiaotian was terrifying, and you didn't dare to provoke him, so you brought me out to be your pawn, your cannon fodder."
"Although I did as you said, I already know I'm no match for Lin Xiaotian. Moreover, Lin Xiaotian is so powerful. If I continue to be his enemy, I won't even know how I died."
"You should give up this idea. Besides, there are only the two of us here today. What else can you do to me?"
As he said this, he had already opened the car door and was about to get out. Although they were on a main road outside, they hadn't left the city.
He didn't believe that in broad daylight, the other party could do anything to him.
The driver curved his lips into a cold smile, making no move.
But at this moment, a car drove up from behind, clearly heading straight for Li Tian.
Li Tian didn't even have time to react, frozen in place.
The car was moving very fast, and when it reached him, it suddenly braked sharply.
As the vehicle came to a halt, it slammed into Li Tian with a bang.
Even though the speed had slowed considerably, Li Tian was still sent flying backward, landing on the ground. He felt several of his bones break, and his elbows and legs scraped against the ground, causing large patches of blood.
The intense pain made him cry out in agony.
At this point, the driver also got out of the car, a cold, mocking smile in his eyes: "What if I told someone to step on the accelerator and run over you again."
"How miserably would you die? You wouldn't even die instantly. Starting from your feet, your bones would be crushed bit by bit."
"You wouldn't want to endure that kind of pain, would you?"
Li Tian coughed up a mouthful of blood, his face filled with extreme terror.
At this moment, besides fear, he also felt a sense of dread towards Lin Xiaotian. He knew Lin Xiaotian must have anticipated this scene, otherwise, he wouldn't have said they would meet again. Lin Xiaotian had already discovered them following him, but why didn't he expose them?
He didn't know what Lin Xiaotian wanted, but now he knew that if he didn't agree to this guy, his life might be in danger.
A plea appeared in his eyes: "I'm sorry, I was wrong. Please give me the medicine now, and I'll take it immediately."
"That's a good boy. Don't make me use other means on you. Otherwise, when I lose my patience, you'll truly wish you were dead." The driver took out the pill and fed it directly into Li Tian's mouth.
Li Tian tried to hide the pill under his tongue, but the driver punched him in the face.
The pill was immediately swallowed. His eyes were filled with fear: "What… what kind of medicine did you give me?"
"How are you going to control me?"
"You'll know soon. This medicine will at most cause you pain for about half an hour. After the pain subsides, it will flare up once every month. If you don't get the antidote, you'll die from the pain."
"This is a slow-acting poison. The time you need the antidote will get shorter and shorter. You must obediently follow our arrangements to receive the antidote regularly. If you disobey, then prepare to die!"
Hearing this, Li Tian's heart suddenly stirred, as he recalled the pill Lin Xiaotian had taken out at that time.
"Who exactly are you people? Why are you targeting Lin Xiaotian like this? What kind of deep-seated hatred do you have with him that you resort to such roundabout methods to scheme against him?"
"I'm purely curious. Actually, I also hate Lin Xiaotian immensely. If this guy hadn't deliberately threatened me, I might have already made hundreds of millions."
The driver sneered: "Stop trying to pry information. You'll know what you need to know, and it's best not to ask what you don't need to know. Otherwise, even a small punishment will be a terror you can't bear."
Li Tian was a person who greatly feared death, and he was also a useful tool. This was because Li Tian himself had a high talent for appraisal.
Moreover, people who are timid, cowardly, and greedy are the easiest to control.
"Now I have an item here that you can take directly to a pawnshop under the Chu Corporation."
"They won't be able to distinguish the authenticity of these items. You just need to appraise this item, get the money, and bring it back to me. I'll tell you the rest of the plan later."
"You can go now. The car behind you will be your designated driver from now on. I'll assign a driver specifically to take care of your life."
This was someone monitoring him.
Li Tian could only nod in fear.
He knew he was completely screwed today.
His heart felt bitter, and he even wondered if Lin Xiaotian was truly a celestial being, why could he predict everything?
After Li Tian got into the car and left, the driver was about to get into his taxi.
But before he could take a step, a hand landed on his shoulder.
The driver froze slightly, instinctively turning his head, only to see Lin Xiaotian looking at him with a smile.
His pupils constricted sharply.
"You… what do you want?"
Lin Xiaotian carefully examined the person in front of him. He looked to be in his forties or fifties, dressed simply. If one didn't know better, they might mistake him for a taxi driver.
"Don't pretend to be ignorant. I've been waiting for you here for a long time."
"When you followed me, I had already guessed that you would have a follow-up plan to target Li Tian. That fool is being used as a tool by you now, and I've already treated him as bait for fishing."
"You've taken the bait now, and the people behind you only know that the plan is in motion, not that you've fallen into my hands."
The driver looked at Lin Xiaotian's brilliant smile, especially his neat row of white teeth, which seemed like the devil revealing its ferocious fangs, making him shiver involuntarily.
He knew that no matter what excuses he made now, they would be useless.
At this moment, without hesitation, he bit down on the poison hidden in his back molar.
The swallowing motion was extremely subtle, he didn't dare to let Lin Xiaotian notice, and he was stalling for time: "Can you tell me how you found me?"
