Chapter 497 Relaxing the Strength in Your Hands

Everyone, I can clearly tell you that the Tamron Gang and I only reached some business cooperation, and there were no other unlawful transactions.

As for the transfer of assets, it was also a legitimate business practice and did not involve anything detrimental to other gangs. Lian Haolong tried his best to make himself look more sincere.

But Liu Gang, the representative of the Mountain Wolf Gang, sneered. "Boss Lian, you talk nicely, but who can guarantee it? There's been news recently that you're going to unite and take on us small gangs!"

Lian Haolong's face darkened. Liu Gang, are you sure the information you said is accurate? Don't easily doubt others because of some unfounded rumors.

Accurate or not, we have to be on guard. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, we won't have anywhere to cry. Liu Gang refused to give in.

Lian Haolong knew that the situation was becoming increasingly complicated. If things continued like this, it would probably ignite a large-scale gang war. Such an outcome would not be a good thing for either side.

He stood up and said, "Everyone, I know you all have your concerns. But I want to emphasize that conflict of any kind is not the best way to resolve problems. If you wish, I can make our collaboration with the Tamron Gang public so everyone can see that it's legitimate and doesn't harm other gangs."

Zhang Dahai and Liu Gang exchanged glances, each seeing dissatisfaction and hesitation in the other's eyes. But they also knew that now was not the time for a head-on confrontation.

"Okay, we can take a look at the content of your cooperation first. But I want to make it clear: if we find anything that is detrimental to us, then everything will be a different matter." Zhang Dahai finally spoke.

Lian Haolong nodded, secretly relieved. "That's settled then. I'll announce the details of the cooperation as soon as possible."

The representatives nodded and left Lian Haolong's hall.

Lian Haolong sat back in his seat and breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that he still had a lot to do to calm down this storm.

However, at least now, he has won an opportunity to ease the situation, although the price is to expose the content of his cooperation with the Tamron Gang, but it is still much better than a gang war that cannot be cleaned up.

Lian Haolong took a deep breath and looked at Huo Han who walked in. What was going on? How did the other gangs react?

Huo Han took out a small notebook and frowned as he said, "Besides the Blacksmith Gang and the Mountain Wolf Gang, several smaller gangs have expressed their willingness to trust us. After learning the true situation, they feel that reconciliation is a wise choice."

Lian Haolong nodded. That's good news; at least our sincerity has been recognized. But how should we respond to those gangs that still harbor doubts?

Huo Han looked at Lian Haolong thoughtfully. "Boss, you know, as long as our strength grows, no matter what we do, there will always be people who worry and question us. I think the most important thing right now is to strengthen our internal development and consolidate our own strength."

Lian Haolong pondered for a moment. "You're right. If we're strong enough internally, even if other gangs unite, it won't be easy to shake us. But before that, what else do we need to do to ensure stability?"

(Wang Dezhao) First of all, I suggest that we should show some goodwill, such as providing some free help to those small gangs to prove that we have no intention of threatening them.

Secondly, we need to strengthen intelligence gathering and gain a deeper understanding of gangs that may pose a threat to us. Finally, we must be prepared for emergencies. Huo Han - List.

Lian Haolong listened carefully and nodded. These are all good suggestions. Then, I'll do as you say.

But I must remind you that while this reconciliation with the Tenglong Gang has increased our strength in the short term, in the long term, it may increase the vigilance of other gangs. We must always be prepared to deal with all possible scenarios.

Huo Han smiled faintly. "Don't worry, Boss. I understand this and have been making the necessary preparations."

At this moment, a little brother rushed in and said, "Boss, there's an urgent report!"

Lian Haolong frowned, took the urgent report and looked at it, his face suddenly became serious. It seems that the problem came faster than we expected.

Huo Han quickly glanced at the urgent report, his expression becoming serious. "The situation has become even more complicated. Boss, we must act quickly."

Lian Haolong took a deep breath. "Yes, I know." It seemed like all this was just the calm before the storm.

The fear and suspicion of the various gangs, coupled with our rapid growth in strength, all indicate a greater storm is coming. We must be fully prepared. Huo Han nodded solemnly. "Boss, I understand. I will take action immediately and will not let you down."

Lian Haolong watched Huo Han's back disappear at the door of the hall, and he understood more clearly in his heart that this storm was not just a contest between gangs, but also a test of his personal beliefs and wisdom.

At the headquarters of Lian Haolong's gang, in an elegantly decorated study, Lian Haolong sat at a mahogany desk with a turned-on computer and some documents in front of him.

He had just released a statement promising that his gang would not become a threat to other gangs like Tamron had.

After this is released, it should be able to calm down the anxiety among all parties a little, Lian Haolong muttered to himself.

At this time, there were a few knocks on the door, and then Huo Han walked in with the latest information in his hand.

Gang leader, this is the latest report on the outflow of Tenglong Gang assets and firearms. It looks like Li Yue is indeed taking some action.

Lian Haolong took the report, glanced at it quickly, and then put it down. He was indeed a very serious person. But this was also in line with our expectations. Li Yue would take measures to reduce the threat posed by the Tenglong Gang (BCBF).

Huo Han sat down. "Yes, Gang Leader." He not only successfully reduced the Tenglong Gang's assets, but also led to the outflow of a large number of their firearms. This is undoubtedly good news for us.

However, this will make the Tenglong Gang even more dependent on us. They are now so weak that they can barely protect themselves. Lian Haolong pondered.

Huo Han nodded. This also means that we now need to be more vigilant about the actions that other gangs may take against us or the Tenglong Gang. Especially those gangs that are still waiting and watching, they may take the opportunity to attack us or the Tenglong Gang.

Lian Haolong stood up, walked to the window, and looked through the window at the distant skyline. Therefore, we must be prepared in advance, both in defense and in attack.

We cannot allow anything to compromise our plans and future security.

Huo Han stood up right after him and asked, "Boss, what are you going to do?"

First, inform Li Yue to ensure that he does not overly weaken Tenglong when taking action, causing instability.

Secondly, we should strengthen intelligence gathering on those gangs that are waiting to see if they are likely to take action. Finally, we should prepare some emergency plans in case of any unforeseen circumstances. Lian Haolong's voice was filled with determination.

Huo Hanji took note. "Understood, Boss. I'll immediately arrange for someone to carry it out."

Lian Haolong turned to face Huo Han. "This situation is more complex and subtle than any before. If we're not careful, things could get out of hand. But I believe that with the efforts of you and the other members, we can get through this safely."

Huo Han smiled and nodded. "Boss, this is all a team effort. I'm just one of them. But I believe that as long as we have firm faith and selfless dedication, we will be able to overcome all difficulties."

Lian Haolong nodded with satisfaction and said, "Very good, you can go and arrange it."

Huo Han saluted and left the study. Lian Haolong sat back down at his desk and began reviewing the next document.

But he was thinking in his heart that his promise was not only for the outside world to see, but also for himself and the members of the entire gang.

He knew that as his strength grew, so did his responsibilities, but no matter what, he couldn't let down those who had always trusted and followed him.

Behind all this, Li Yue is carrying out his own plan. Although the Tenglong Gang is weakening, he is also looking for new opportunities, trying to find a way to preserve his gang without causing greater conflicts.

In the secret meeting room of the Tamron gang, the atmosphere became solemn for a while.

The conference room was sparsely decorated, with classical weapons and gang emblems hanging on the walls. A few dim chandeliers swung overhead, casting dappled shadows. Tenglong sat at one end of the long table, his face sullen, his hands folded on the table. Li Yue stood across from him, his gaze determined.

Explain to me, what exactly is going on? How could the assets and firearms be lost so silently? Tenglong's voice was mixed with anger and confusion.

Li Yue took a deep breath and then spoke slowly, "Tenglong, I'm doing all this to protect the gang. You know, Lian Haolong's power is expanding rapidly. If we continue as we are, we'll be swallowed up by him sooner or later."

Tenglong stared at Li Yue closely. "Are you saying that in order to save the gang, you chose to reconcile with Lian Haolong, even at the expense of the gang?"

Yes. One of the conditions for reaching a settlement with Lian Haolong is to show them that we are no longer a threat. Only then will they stop. I have no choice but to strategically reduce our assets and weapons. Li Yue's words were filled with helplessness.

Tamron was silent for a moment, then relaxed his grip. "Why didn't you tell me all this earlier?"

I need to act quickly because time is of the essence, and I'm also worried that you might reject this proposal.

I know it's risky, but I can only choose the path that's most likely to keep the gang alive. Li Yue looked up, his eyes meeting Tenglong's.

Tenglong took a deep breath, as if trying to vent his anger. "You've always been my right-hand man, and I still have some trust in you. But your behavior this time has disappointed me."

I understand, Tenglong. But I can't help it. I'm doing this for the gang, for all of us. Li Yue's voice was filled with pleading.

Tenglong stared at Li Yue for a long time, then nodded slowly. "Well, now that things have come to this, we can only try to remedy the situation." So, how did Lian Haolong agree?

……… 0

He agreed to a settlement and promised not to pose a threat to us. But he wanted to see our gang's strength decline before he could do so, Li Yue explained.

So, what should we do next? Tamron asked.

First, we must consolidate our internal strength to prevent further loss of assets and weapons.

Secondly, we must be more cautious in our dealings with other gangs to prevent them from detecting our weaknesses. Finally, we must closely monitor Lian Haolong's movements, just in case. Li Yue outlined the next plan in detail.

Tamron listened carefully and finally nodded. "Okay, I'll do as you say. But remember, any major decisions must be reported to me in advance."
