Chapter 489 I Know You Have Suffering
Huo Han sat in front of an old solid wood desk. The aroma of pine wood and the fragrance of tea intertwined, and the candlelight danced on the wall, bringing a little tranquility to this heavy situation.
"Since Tenglong wants to play, then play with him." Uncle Li Qing stroked his beard and expressed the thoughts of everyone.
Huo Han nodded. "Although Tenglong is a powerful force, we have experience and wisdom. As long as we use the right strategy, he won't be able to do anything to us easily."
Uncle Wang Feng added, "Those people I contacted in advance have already begun to act. They are spread across all of Tenglong's territories. As long as we give the order, they will all rise up simultaneously."
This is the true strength of the Huo Han family, their foresight and widespread influence. Although they have been acting in a law-abiding manner on the surface over the years, they have actually been prepared for this.
Huo Han took a deep breath: "Tenglong must have realized by now that we are not unarmed. He will not act rashly in the short term."
Li Qing smiled slightly: "So during this period of time, what we need to do is to strengthen our strength, join forces with other forces, and form a united front against Tenglong~~."
Huo Han touched the teacup and said, "I have already contacted several gangs that are interested in cooperating with us. As long as the price is right, they will soon become our allies."
Wang Feng nodded: "That's good. Tenglong may be capable, but his arrogance and domineering attitude have caused him to lose many friends."
The three of them smiled at each other, knowing that their chance had come.
Soon after, Huo Han and his uncles began secretly contacting other gangs, playing the card of alliance. Moreover, this strategy quickly achieved results. Many small and medium-sized gangs expressed their intention to cooperate with Huo Han.
Although Tenglong hadn't yet taken action against Huo Han, he had spies throughout the city and soon learned of Huo Han and his men's actions. However, since Huo Han and his men were well prepared, Tenglong could only wait and see, not daring to act rashly.
The atmosphere in Huo Han's study grew oppressive. Lian Haolong was covered in wounds, his bloodstained clothes tattered. He leaned against the side of the room, his strength nearly exhausted.
"Brother Huo, I'm sorry, I caused trouble." Lian Haolong spoke with difficulty, but the blood stains at the corners of his mouth did not stop.
Huo Han frowned, unwilling to see his brother hurt, but he still calmly asked, "How did Tenglong's people know? Did you contact anyone after you left?"
Lian Haolong shook his head and coughed a few times, blood oozing from the corner of his mouth: "I was always careful, but soon after I left, someone followed me. I kept running, but there were too many of them, and I couldn't escape alone."
Wang Feng frowned: "Tenglong's methods are too cruel. This is obviously a demonstration to our Huo family."
Li Qing sighed: "Tenglong's men have always been cunning. They may have already known Lian Haolong's whereabouts outside."
A flash of anger flashed in Huo Han's eyes. He stood up, walked over to Lian Haolong, and patted him on the shoulder gently: "Don't worry, I will make them pay for this."
Lian Haolong smiled bitterly: "Brother Huo, they kept asking me about the gang, and I didn't say anything. I just don't know how they knew about me so quickly.
Left. "
Huo Han smiled faintly: "You are right. This may be a leak of our Huo family's information. The most important thing now is that you rest and recover from your injuries. I will take care of the rest."
Lian Haolong nodded hard, and then was helped by everyone to the inner room to rest.
Wang Feng and Li Qing looked at each other and could see the worry in each other's eyes.
"Tenglong's actions are really too fast, and so ruthless." Li Qing shook his head: "It seems that we can't just sit there and wait for death."
Wang Feng took a deep breath. "The key now is to find the insider who leaked the information. As long as our information is leaked, every step we take will be threatened."
Huo Han's expression turned cold. He knew that this struggle would be even more difficult than he had expected: "Since Teng 040 Dragon has taken action, we can no longer sit idly by.
Wang Feng, go find the person who leaked the information. Li Qing, you are responsible for the internal security of the gang and make sure no one dares to act rashly.
Night fell, the lights in the study still bright. Lian Haolong sat on a soft couch in the study, a pot of warm tea in front of him. Huo Han, Wang Feng, and Li Qing sat around him, quietly waiting for him to speak.
Lian Haolong took a deep breath and interrupted the silence: "I know you all have doubts. But what I know is what Tenglong told me directly."
Wang Feng took a sip of tea, a sneer on his face. "Then why did he tell you so much? We also know that you don't have a close relationship with him."
Lian Haolong smiled bitterly, "Because he thinks I'm no longer a threat and thinks I'll become his pawn. Furthermore, he's also interested in collaborating with me to deal with the Huo family." Huo Han frowned, a gleam in his deep eyes, "So what did you hear he was going to do?"
Lian Haolong took a deep breath and said, “Tenglong wants to manipulate some high-ranking government officials to expand his power.
He also planned to open casinos and opium dens in several key areas of the city and to collude with foreign merchants to further strengthen his financial resources. Most importantly, he had secretly formed alliances with several major gangs and was preparing to launch a general attack on the Huo family.
Li Qing's expression changed: "Such a big move, why didn't we know about it?"
Lian Haolong sighed, "Tenglong is very good at hiding things. All his actions are carried out in secret. He also has leverage over many key figures, making them afraid to betray him."
Huo Han frowned: "Then how do you know so clearly?"
Lian Haolong sighed, "Because he once took a fancy to me and wanted to recruit me. He told me these plans, hoping that I could become his assistant."
Wang Feng looked at Lian Haolong suspiciously: "Then why did you choose to come back? Didn't you say he had convinced you?"
Lian Haolong stood up excitedly: "I have never forgotten that I am a member of the Huo family! Tenglong only gave me a temptation. I just want to take this opportunity to understand his plan and come back to tell everyone!"
Huo Han took a deep breath and looked at Lian Haolong, his eyes filled with mixed emotions. "Lian Haolong, we will consider everything you say. But the situation right now is really complicated. I need to think carefully about what to do."
Lian Haolong nodded and returned to his seat: "Brother Huo, I just hope you will believe me. What I said is the truth."
Li Qing and Wang Feng were both silent, with deep thought in their eyes.
Huo Han stood up and said gravely, "We need more information and then formulate a thorough plan to thwart Tenglong's ambitions. At this moment, no decision can be made hastily."
A faint blue light shone through the study window. Lian Haolong sat in front of the window, playing with the jade pendant in his hand, looking at the night sky outside, his mind seemed to drift far away.
During this time, Lian Haolong felt very lonely. Whenever he met other people, he could sense the suspicion and vigilance in their eyes.
He knew this was understandable; after all, he had just returned from Tenglong's place and naturally bore Tenglong's influence. But the feeling of being doubted by his own family still tore at his heart.
Just when he was deeply immersed in it, Huo Han appeared silently at the door of the study. He looked at Lian Haolong quietly with complicated feelings in his heart.
He knew Lian Haolong well, having watched him grow from a teenager to the talented young man he was today. He was reluctant to doubt Lian Haolong, but the current situation forced him to remain vigilant.
"Lian Haolong," Huo Han walked into the study, breaking the silence.
Lian Haolong looked up at Huo Han with a hint of coldness in his eyes: "Brother Huo."
Huo Han looked at Lian Haolong and sighed softly: "I know you are feeling bitter, but I think you should also understand the current situation."
Lian Haolong nodded slowly: "I know, but I don't want to be questioned."
Huo Han walked over to Lian Haolong and sat down: "I believe you, but I need you to tell me more about Tenglong."
Lian Haolong was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly. "I've interacted with Tenglong several times. He's a sinister, ambitious man, and extremely ruthless. I'm not surprised he's doing this now."
Huo Han took a deep breath: "Then do you know what he might do next?"
Lian Haolong pondered for a moment. "He's always wanted to control the entire Jiangnan underground forces. If he succeeds, the consequences will be disastrous. Furthermore, he has deep connections with some government officials. He even tried to win me over."
Huo Han's eyes flashed: "So, you know some of his secrets?"
Lian Haolong smiled slightly: "Of course I know something, but it's not enough to threaten him."
A gleam flashed in Huo Han's eyes: "Those secrets are enough for us to make a plan to deal with him."
Lian Haolong nodded: "Then I will tell you everything I know."
The Huo Han family hall was unusually quiet. Representatives from various factions had already taken their seats, their eyes filled with tension and anticipation. Facing the impending battle, everyone was planning their future. The Huo family hall at this time always felt oppressive, but everyone knew that the game between them had just begun.
…………
Huo Han stood up and looked at his uncles in their seats. He had a clearer plan for this long-planned battle in his mind. He knew that at this moment, he needed more than just a victory, but also to rebuild his status through this victory.
"Uncles," Huo Han began, "I've verified this with Lian Haolong, and the information he has about Tenglong is true. This presents us with a rare opportunity to defeat him."
An uncle asked doubtfully, "Huo Han, how can you be sure that what Lian Haolong said is true? Didn't he just come back from Tenglong? What if he is a spy sent by Tenglong?"
Huo Han smiled and said, "Of course I have my own way to verify it. Besides, Lian Haolong has no reason to harm us for Tenglong. He also knows that if we expose him, his fate will be even worse."
The uncle was left speechless by Huo Han's answer, but Huo Han understood that the struggle had only just begun.
