Hong Kong Movies: The Boss's Global Empire

Chapter 465 This Guide is a Liar

Huo Han smiled slightly and said, "Boss, I've just arrived here, and I'm not familiar with many of the rules and customs. But I'll try my best to adapt and learn. If I make any mistakes, please follow the rules."

The boss nodded and said, "You have a sense of responsibility, very good. Now that you say so, I have a task for you."

Huo Han's eyes were firm: "Please give your orders, Boss."

The boss took a deep breath. "Recently, we have an important 157 figure who is in the sight of some hostile forces. I need you to protect him. This is not an ordinary protection mission."

This character is somewhat special, and his safety is related to the interests of the entire gang. Can you do it well?"

Huo Han was shocked, but still said firmly: "I will do my best to protect him."

The boss added, "If something goes wrong with this person, do you know what the consequences will be?"

Huo Han said in a deep voice: "I know, I will take responsibility for this."

The boss nodded with satisfaction. "Very good. This is a test for you. You demonstrated your instincts of protection and rescue during the firefight. Consider this opportunity a test of your abilities."

Huo Han smiled slightly: "Thank you for giving me this opportunity, Boss. I will definitely do my best."

Huo Han followed the boss's instructions and came to a dilapidated building. It looked very low-key, but Huo Han knew that every brick and tile here was probably carefully arranged.

He waited outside the door for nearly a day, with only a few thugs coming in and out from time to time.

Finally, in the afterglow of the setting sun, a girl in a black leotard and with long, flowing hair emerged from the building. She was tall and slender, with a brisk gait. Her cold eyes darted around, clearly someone she wasn't going to mess with.

"Don't follow me!" She glared at Huo Han sternly.

Huo Han knew that she was the one who needed his protection, so he smiled and said, "I'm here to protect you. The boss asked me to come."

The girl interrupted him mercilessly: "I don't need anyone's protection! And I don't like anyone following me."

Huo Han took a deep breath and tried to remain calm. "I'm just carrying out a mission. If you don't want me to follow, I can watch from a distance and ensure your safety." The girl didn't seem to buy it. Instead, she angrily shouted, "Get out of here!"

Huo Han is also a tough guy, but he knows the importance of this mission, so he chooses a surprise strategy...

He turned around and walked a few steps, then said in a cold voice, "Since you don't need it, I'll leave."

The girl was obviously a little surprised. She didn't expect Huo Han to leave so easily. She looked at his back with a little hesitation, and suddenly couldn't help but ask curiously: "You're leaving just like that? Aren't you afraid that the boss will punish you?"

Huo Han stopped, turned around and smiled slightly: "Your safety is more important than whether I am punished. I would rather bear everything myself than let you be in any danger."

These words left the girl a bit stunned. She stared at Huo Han, as if trying to discern something from his eyes. After a moment's silence, she suddenly chuckled. "Okay, you can follow. But don't get too close."

Huo Han smiled, feeling slightly relieved. It seemed his strategy had worked. "I'll ensure your safety. Just be yourself." From then on, their relationship began to subtly change.

Although Huo Han kept his distance, the girl could sense his ever-present protection. A special tacit understanding developed between the two, and they became indispensable to each other's lives.

"Wait!" The girl quickly caught up with Huo Han, a hint of curiosity in her cold eyes. "Aren't you afraid that my father will punish you?"

Huo Han stopped and turned to face her. His slightly raised eyes revealed a hint of confidence: "Everyone has their own bottom line. I do what I think is right."

The girl blinked, clearly surprised. She looked Huo Han up and down, as if trying to find some clue in his face. "Are you new here? Why do you look so unfamiliar? Did you commit some crime that got you sent here?"

Huo Han took a deep breath and adjusted his coat with both hands, "I came here to find some things I once lost, and to pursue the life I want.

As for what you said about "making mistakes", I think everyone has the right to make mistakes, the key is how to correct it."

Huo Han's frank answer amused the girl, who burst out laughing. "You're quite an interesting fellow," she said, circling him, as if commenting on something. "Since you're in such a miserable state, I'm letting you follow me. But remember, don't get too close. Got it?"

Huo Han smiled slightly and nodded, "I agree."

From then on, their relationship gradually improved. Every time the girl went out, Huo Han was within her sight, but he kept a proper distance from her.

Although the distance between them has never really shortened, their hearts have unknowingly grown closer.

Throughout the day, the little girl and Huo Han got along very harmoniously. She took him to the market, tasted local delicacies, and even danced with people in the square on the side of the road.

This made Huo Han wonder why such a gentle and elegant girl was included in the task list?

When night falls, everything changes.

Suddenly, the little girl's body stiffened, as if controlled by some force, and her eyes became empty and cold.

Huo Han was about to step forward to ask, but he saw a layer of light blue light emerging from her hands, and sharp claws grew from her hands, rushing straight towards Huo Han.

Huo Han instantly used his skills to avoid the attack, but the girl's speed almost caught him off guard.

The two fought fiercely in the open space. Huo Han tried his best to avoid hurting her, but she seemed to have completely lost her mind and only knew how to attack.

During a close-quarters fight, Huo Han used his unique skill, "Ice Blockade," to pin the girl's hands to the ground. Huo Han took the opportunity to move closer to her, staring at her sharply, trying to find a glimmer of clarity in her eyes.

"Who controls you? Why do you attack me?" Huo Han asked.

The blue light in the little girl's eyes gradually faded, and Huo Han could clearly see the confusion and fear in them. "I... I don't know what just happened?"

Huo Han was silent for a moment, then released her hands. "807, you seemed to be controlled by some force just now and attacked me."

The little girl shook her head, tears streaming down her face. "I don't remember, really. But... every time night comes, I always feel like I become different."

Huo Han frowned, "I see. Are you like this every night?"

The little girl nodded. "Yes, every night, I become out of control, as if there is another me in my body."

Huo Han felt mixed emotions. It turned out that the little girl was included in the task list not because of any problems she had, but because of the power hidden in her body.

He decided not only to complete the mission, but also to find the source of this power and help her get rid of this pain.

Huo Han did not go to sleep directly. Instead, he returned to his residence and searched for various information about split personality.

The description of this illness in the book was similar to the little girl's condition, but also somewhat inconsistent. True split personality disorder wouldn't cause such a powerful outburst. Huo Han felt that there must be something fishy going on.

He decided to test the girl again the next day to see if he could find any clues.

Meanwhile, Lian Haolong hurried off the boat and stared at the island owner with an unhappy expression. "I heard the person I'm looking for is here?" he said in a low voice, trying to conceal his anxiety.

The island owner, a middle-aged man, said to him with a broad smile, "I'm sorry, Mr. Lian, the people you're looking for have just left and entered the jungle. This is the rule here: everyone must find a partner in the jungle."

Lian Haolong widened his eyes, "You mean, I spent so much money but couldn't see him?"

The island owner shrugged and added, "I'm only responsible for providing the venue. As for their decision to enter the jungle, it's theirs to make."

Lian Haolong was furious, but he knew the island owner held immense prestige in this area, and impulsive action would do him no good. He took a breath, quickly calmed himself, and turned to his men, shouting, "Who's the idiot who didn't find out beforehand?!"

The men lowered their heads in silence, fearing they would become the target of Lian Haolong's wrath. Suddenly, a slightly heavier man knelt down and said in a trembling voice, "Sir, I've failed in my duties. Please punish me."

Lian Haolong took a deep breath and pointed at the subordinate: "Lock him in the cabin and I'll talk to him when I get back."

Then he turned to the island owner and said, "So, can I go into the jungle and find the person I want?"

The island owner thought for a moment and said, "That's not impossible, but the jungle is very dangerous. You have to do it at your own risk."

Lian Haolong gritted his teeth and said, "No problem."

Then, he and a team of his men entered the jungle, and the island owner smiled slightly, watching their backs disappear into the dense woods.

Deep in the jungle, there is fog. Through the fog, you can see dense trees. Each tree is guarding this mysterious land like a guard.

Lian Haolong and his men walked cautiously in the jungle, trying to avoid any possible danger.

Before entering the jungle, someone offered to lead the way. Lian Haolong, unfamiliar with the terrain, decided to hire the guide.

But he didn't expect that the guide was actually a liar. The group walked in the jungle all night, but in the end they found themselves in a dead end, and the guide was nowhere to be found.

".What's going on?" Lian Haolong roared, fatigue and anger intertwined, his eyes red.

"Sir, we have been deceived!" one of the men responded in a trembling voice.

Lian Haolong slapped the tree with his palm, making a crisp sound. "Wake up! There are no telling what traps are hidden in this (good) jungle. If you don't want to die,

Yes, then act accordingly."

The men responded one after another, but they felt a deeper fear of the jungle in their hearts. The jungle not only contained dangerous wild animals, but also these unknown traps.

Meanwhile, Huo Han had already been waiting at the girl's residence. When she appeared, Huo Han was slightly surprised. Her demeanor was completely different from the day before. She looked gentle, as if she had completely forgotten the madness of the previous night.
