Hong Kong Movies: The Boss's Global Empire

Chapter 482 Get ready, let’s go see Tenglong

At the far end of the bar, Huo Han sat with his closest associates. While the atmosphere seemed relaxed, everyone knew that tonight's topic was anything but ordinary. Under the flickering lights on the wall, Huo Han's face appeared exceptionally cold and hard.

Listen carefully. We conquered this territory with our own hands, and I will not allow anyone to run wild here. Huo Han said in a cold tone.

Some of his men nodded silently. They had great faith in Huo Han's decisions, as he had proven his resolve and wisdom through his actions. However, some, especially the younger gang members, were concerned about the future.

"Boss Huo, we fully support your decision. But in the current situation, with so many gangs clashing head-on, we may face an unprecedented crisis," a middle-aged man advised. He was Huo Han's old subordinate and a steady person.

Huo Han smiled slightly, seemingly unsurprised by his suggestion. "You mean, cooperate with them?"

The man nodded. "Yes, if we can establish mutually beneficial partnerships with one or two large gangs, we can not only share resources, but also leverage their strength to fight other gangs together. This will also give us more room for development."

A young and energetic man stood up immediately. "Boss Huo, why should we cooperate with those bastards? We have the strength and wisdom, and we can definitely unify the martial arts world!"

Huo Han gently stroked his wine glass. It was obvious that he had considered this issue. I know you all hope that the gang can develop better.

But I don't want to see us cooperating with those bad gangs for the sake of short-term benefits. If we choose to cooperate today, we will be used by them or even betrayed tomorrow.

After hearing Huo Han's words, everyone fell silent. They all knew that Huo Han was telling the truth. In this world, reputation and dignity were far more important than short-term gains.

The middle-aged man who proposed this looked at Huo Han and sighed deeply. "Boss Huo, I understand what you mean. I just hope that we don't let our gang brothers die in vain for the sake of so-called dignity."

Huo Han gave him a cold look. "Don't worry, I'll ensure everyone's safety." But that doesn't mean I'll compromise. "What I want is a world that truly belongs to us, not a pawn controlled by others."

The night was thick. Huo Han sat alone in front of the French window in his room, his fingers tapping gently on the glass, his thoughts flowing like a river. The wind outside, accompanied by the torrential rain, washed over the earth, but it could not wash away the haze in his heart.

Zhao Fei quietly walked over to the corridor, pushed open the door, looked at Huo Han in front of the window and said, "Boss, I've found out that there are at least three Tenglong spies in this gang." Huo Han didn't turn around, but just replied calmly, "I knew it a long time ago."

Zhao Fei frowned, "Then we are..."

“We are now like newly acquired horses, our blood is boiling, but we are also more unstable.

Tenglong, that old fox, wanted to see how I could harness this power. Huo Han turned and faced Zhao Fei, his eyes filled with determination. "But he never dreamed I was prepared."

"Boss, do we really have to fight head-on now? After all, this is not a small fight. Tenglong has a background." Zhao Fei said worriedly.

Huo Han smiled slightly and pointed to the heavy rain outside the window: "Look, the rain is so fierce, but it will always pass. To me, Tenglong is just a rain. We must be firm."

Zhao Fei looked puzzled. Huo Han continued, "We can't confront them openly, but we can't avoid this battle. Now that they've penetrated deep into our gang, this is our opportunity. We can use them."

"Use?" Zhao Fei asked doubtfully.

"Yes, take advantage of their existence to trick Tenglong into letting down his guard, and then catch them all in one fell swoop." Huo Han chuckled.

Zhao Fei breathed a sigh of relief. "So, Boss, you already had a plan. But, those little brothers..."

Huo Han waved his hand. "I will ensure their safety. But you also know that in today's world, there is no such thing as a risk-free business. If we want to survive stably, we must have this awareness."

Zhao Fei was silent for a moment, then nodded again: "I trust you, Boss. I'll go and make the arrangements right away."

It was late at night, and only a few streetlights cast lonely yellow light on the street. In the back hall of the teahouse, Huo Han sat with his uncles again.

Huo Han's eyes revealed a hint of anxiety: "Tenglong's recent movements have been getting more and more aggressive. They are constantly strengthening their trade channels and expanding their network of contacts. It seems that they want to catch them all in one fell swoop."

Old Han twirled his beard. "We need to keep an eye on them and make sure they don't do anything behind the scenes. If Tenglong really wants to attack us, it's only a matter of time."

Song Bo looked out the window and sighed deeply. "Before, we might have been able to compete with them through certain trade channels, but now, Tenglong seems to want to take complete control of everything, leaving us with nowhere to go."

Huo Han slowly stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the night scene outside: "They want to suppress us, we can't just sit there and wait, we must take the initiative to attack."

Old Han nodded: "Indeed, we can't sit and wait for death any longer. The most important thing now is that we need to find a breakthrough point to make them temporarily lose their direction~".

Huo Han frowned and thought: "We can start with their supply channels. As long as we can temporarily cut off their supply source, it can at least buy us some time."

Uncle Song nodded: "I heard before that they had business dealings with a place called 'Golden City', and most of the business there was related to us."

Huo Han smiled slightly: "Then let's go to Jincheng and see, maybe we can find something."

Old Han raised his teacup and said, "It's fine to go to Jincheng, but we have to be careful. If Tenglong finds us, our actions will be exposed."

Huo Han said firmly: "Don't worry, I have a plan."

Song Bo looked at Huo Han and asked, "What are your plans?"

Huo Han smiled faintly. "I plan to find some talented people, especially those who are good at keeping secrets and using unique methods. They can help us complete this mission."

Old Han nodded: "This is a good idea, but we must choose carefully and not let outsiders know our true intentions."

Huo Han waved his hand: "Don't worry, I know what to do. But now, we must act."

The uncles looked at each other and nodded: "Then do as you say. I hope this operation will be successful."

Huo Han took a deep breath: "We must succeed for our future."

The atmosphere in the back hall of the teahouse grew heavy. The only sound in the stifling heat was the crackling of the firewood in the brazier. Huo Han took a deep breath and said solemnly, "...Uncles, I have an idea."

Old Han raised his eyes slowly and said, "Speak."

Huo Han sighed, "I plan to infiltrate other gangs. This way, I can not only understand their dynamics, but also play a decisive role at critical moments."

Uncle Song couldn't help but raise an eyebrow: "Bleached in? Aren't you afraid that they'll discover your true identity?"

Huo Han shook his head. "It's risky, but rather than sit back and wait for death, I'd rather take the initiative. I'm telling you this decision, partly because I hope to gain your approval, and partly because I want to see if anyone within our ranks has excessive ties with other gangs."

Old Han frowned: "Do you suspect there is a traitor among us?"

Huo Han said slowly, "Uncles, you know that since I took over this gang, our situation has been unstable. I'm not doubting you, I'm just trying to ensure our unity and safety."

Uncle Song pursed his lips and said, "I agree with your proposal. We must trust each other, but we must not let our guard down."

Mr. Han nodded: "Okay, let's vote."

Huo Han looked at each of his uncles and aunts leisurely, and they all raised their hands to show their approval. In the end, most of the uncles and aunts agreed with Huo Han's plan.

Huo Han breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you for your trust. Now, I will start planning how to infiltrate them."

Uncle Song thought for a moment and said, "To infiltrate other gangs, you must first have a perfect identity background so that they won't be suspicious."

Han 200 Lao slapped the table and said, "That's right. You can pretend to be a younger brother who was expelled from our gang. That way they might trust you."

Huo Han smiled slightly: "This identity is very suitable, but it needs to be made more realistic. I can find some trustworthy brothers, create an open conflict, and use this as a reason to be expelled from the gang."

Uncle Song nodded. "This way, your identity will be more convincing. However, after you infiltrate, you must be careful not to reveal your true identity."

Huo Han nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, uncles, I will be careful (bcff) and will not bring shame to the gang."

Old Han took a deep breath and said, "That's settled. For the sake of the gang and our future, we must remain vigilant and united."

Huo Han stood up and looked at each of his uncles affectionately: "I will go through fire and water for the gang and will never back down."

Huo Han stood by the window, gazing out at the bustling city. He was pondering how to approach the other gangs. To solidify his position within the underworld, he must first gain their trust, and this would require a rather dramatic event.

"Boss, the casino in East City has been occupied by an unknown small gang recently. It used to be our territory." A subordinate came in and reported the recent situation.

Huo Han smiled slightly: "It seems that the opportunity has come. We can help those gangs regain that territory and win their favor."

"Then when do we start?" asked the subordinate.

Huo Han patted the table and said, "Let's gather some information first, and then make a decision."

A few days later, Tenglong's informant brought news that Huo Han intended to join other gangs, making it seem that Huo Han's plan had been seen through.

Huo Han has always been extremely smart in the martial arts world, which makes Tenglong feel wary. He knows that Huo Han's desire to join is definitely not for a simple purpose.

Huo Han was planning with his men how to take back the casino when suddenly a messenger hurried in and handed him a letter.

Huo Han opened the letter and saw that it read: "Huo Han, I heard that you want to join us. I hope to meet you and have a good chat. -Tenglong"

Huo Han frowned, thought for a moment and said, "Get ready, let's go see Tenglong."

Huo Han, wearing a simple long gown, walked along the stone path straight to the second floor of the tavern.

The warm lights, the low sounds of music, and the faint sounds of laughter made the pub seem extremely lively. This was the place where he and Tamron had agreed to meet.

When he pushed open the plain wooden door, Li Yue was already waiting inside, with two cups of cold tea beside him.

He was dressed in official uniform, with a gleaming golden dagger hanging from his waist. He looked like an ordinary secretary, but a closer look revealed a hint of sharpness in his eyes.
