Chapter 464 Huo Han nodded slightly: I heard he was taught a lesson
The whole process took only a few seconds. Huo Han stood in the middle, and the two thugs had collapsed to the ground.
Are only then really looked at Huo Han, revealing a satisfied smile: "Not bad, you have some skills."
"Thank you for the compliment." Huo Han said lightly.
"There are rules for joining a gang. Let me tell you our rules first." Are's voice became serious.
"First of all, gang matters must not be disclosed to the outside world. Violators will be killed!"
"Secondly, you need to pay a fixed share of the money every month. No matter what, you have to pay it."
"Finally, the gang has a mission that must be completed. Otherwise, you know."
After listening to this, Huo Han nodded and said, "I understand."
"Okay, there is a meeting tonight, you should go and attend it." said Are.
Meanwhile, the police and other members of the group reached the outskirts of the jungle, where they first acclimatized themselves to the surroundings. In the jungle, insects chirped, birds chirped, and sunlight dappled the ground. The police instructed everyone on how to navigate, find food and water, and avoid the dangers of the jungle.
As night fell, Huo Han entered the gang's main hall, which was already packed with people of all kinds. He was seated in the last row. On the stage, A Lei began his speech, focusing primarily on the gang's recent distribution of funds, as well as some external pressures and strategies for dealing with them.
Huo Han was about to listen attentively to Wang Gang's explanation of the gang's secrets when a young gang member, carrying a communicator, suddenly rushed in. He gasped, "It's a fight! North District! The boss's order, everyone move out!"
Wang Gang instantly became nervous and said to Huo Han, "Newcomer, you have to go too. This is the gang's rule."
A calculating glint flashed in Huo Han's eyes, and he nodded to Wang Gang: "Okay, let's go."
They quickly followed the rest of the gang out of the hall. Rows of black SUVs were already waiting outside, their engines roaring, creating an atmosphere of readiness for battle.
Huo Han and Wang Gang were in the same car. The other gang members were all familiar faces. They were discussing which gang the other party might be from and what their intentions were. A swarthy, dark-skinned man said, "I heard it's the Red Dragon Gang in the East District. They've been quite active lately."
A younger gang member gritted his teeth and said, "They've been invading our territory frequently lately. We must teach them a lesson after this fight."
Wang Gang frowned, seeming a little worried about the fight. He said to Huo Han, "This fight might be intense. You're still a newcomer, so be careful." Huo Han smiled slightly. "Thank you for your concern. I'll be careful."
In the darkness of the night, Huo Han, Wang Gang, and other gang members stopped in an alley some distance from the scene of the fight. In the firelight, Huo Han saw two major gangs locked in a tense standoff, their members armed with various weapons. Huo Han suspected the two sides were arguing over territory.
"The feud between the Red Dragon Gang and us is indeed very deep, and this piece of territory is the key." Wang Gang explained to Huo Han in a low voice.
Huo Han nodded in understanding. He decided to delve deeper into Zhao's situation and began pacing closer to the scene of the fight. The closer he got, the more tense the atmosphere grew. Glares, whispered threats, and sneering comments echoed from both sides.
Suddenly, a single gunshot pierced the night sky, followed by another burst of gunfire. Then, seemingly losing their minds completely, both sides engaged in a fierce exchange of fire. Huo Han quickly found cover and observed from concealed perspective.
The bullet grazed his side, and Huo Han could clearly hear the loud sound of the bullet hitting him.
The bullets under the night sky are like meteor showers, and the collision between iron and fire is like the ballad of death.
Huo Han caught a glimpse of a gang member who had been shot, his body shaking, an expression of disbelief in his eyes.
The moment he fell, Huo Han rushed over with his agility, shielded him with his body, and pulled the injured brother behind a safe shelter.
"Brother, hold on, I'm here to save you!" Huo Han said as he quickly stopped the bleeding of the injured brother. He took out gauze and bandages from the first aid kit and tried his best to keep the injured brother conscious.
At the same time, the other members saw this opportunity and rushed forward one after another, launching a frantic attack.
Their goal is clear: to win honor for the gang and win promotion opportunities for themselves. Every head means higher status and power.
The fight intensified, and Wang Gang led his team in a fierce charge. For a moment, the people of the Red Dragon Gang were in a state of defeat.
Every time Wang Gang killed an enemy, he would shout loudly: "This is for Team Longze!" His voice was so loud that it shook the entire battlefield.
Although Huo Han did not have as outstanding achievements as Wang Gang, his actions won everyone's respect.
He rescued three injured brothers in succession and successfully provided effective cover for his teammates, allowing many members who were almost killed to survive.
After three hours of fierce fighting, the flames of war finally died down when the last Red Dragon Gang member was knocked down. Huo Han sat exhausted on the ground, his clothes soaked with sweat.
Dust flew and thick smoke enveloped the entire battlefield. The fighting was over, but what remained on people's faces was trauma and sadness.
Although victory was theirs, the price had been high. The air was filled with the smell of pain and blood, and the scene seemed chaotic for a moment.
The wounded around Huo Han were taken away one after another. He kept a firm gaze, his hands moving constantly, stopping the bleeding and providing first aid. The ground around him was already covered with bandages and medicine bottles. He seemed completely unaware that the boss had approached.
"Huo Han, good job!" Wang Gang walked over and patted him on the shoulder. Although he said it lightly, his eyes revealed deep respect.
(cbde) Following Wang Gang’s praise, others gradually approached.
Some people truly admire Huo Han's courage and skills, while others want to take this opportunity to show themselves to the boss. They seem to be greeting Huo Han, but in fact they are showing off themselves.
"Huo Han, thank you so much this time. If it weren't for you, I might have lost my life." A wounded soldier said breathlessly.
"Stop talking and rest first." Huo Han said in a deep voice, and then went to busy himself with rescuing other wounded people.
The boss stood not far away, his gaze piercing as he calmly surveyed the scene. He noticed Huo Han's performance and was very satisfied. He nodded calmly, signaling his men to take the wounded away.
"Huo Han." The boss's deep voice suddenly sounded. Huo Han raised his head and met the boss's eyes.
"Boss." Huo Han responded.
"Finish up here, then come to my office." The boss said, turned and left.
Huo Han was slightly stunned, then nodded to show that he understood.
On the entire battlefield, except for Huo Han, everyone else gradually dispersed.
When Huo Han walked out of the rescue area and prepared to go to the boss's office, a group of members gathered together and whispered.
One of them, Li Fei, was the boss's personal henchman and had no ties to Huo Han, but when he saw Huo Han walking by, he stepped forward.
"Huo Han, I heard that you didn't bring back any heads in this gunfight?" Li Fei said with a sneer.
The crowd behind him burst into laughter, clearly mocking Huo Han. A thin, smaller man said, "Yeah, from what I've heard, the boss is very unhappy with anyone who doesn't bring back a head. You better be careful this time."
"Yes, Wang Gang was punished for this very thing last time, for three days and three nights." Another middle-aged man joined in the sarcasm.
Huo Han frowned, knowing they were trying to scare him. He shook his head helplessly, not wanting to argue with them, and continued walking towards the office.
"Hey, Huo Han, don't think you can escape disaster by saving so many people. In front of the boss, heads are more important than anything else!" Li Fei sarcastically said again.
Huo Han stopped, turned around, and said calmly, "Everything I do is based on my principles and beliefs. If the boss wants to punish me for not taking the head, then I can only accept it."
Everyone was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting Huo Han to respond like this.
"Okay, let's wait and see how you are punished!" Li Fei said disdainfully.
Huo Han smiled slightly, said nothing more, turned around and continued walking towards the boss's office.
As Huo Han entered the office, he noticed the slightly tense atmosphere. Yet, the boss was smiling. Before Huo Han could even sit down, his subordinates had already poured him a glass of water. "Sit down, Huo Han," the boss said, gesturing to the sofa in a friendly manner.
Huo Han was a little surprised, but still said politely: "Thank you, Boss."
The boss didn't even wait for Huo Han to drink his water before asking directly, "I heard you participated in a gunfight today. How many heads did you bring back?"
Huo Han looked up and answered frankly, "Not a single one, Boss."
A thought flashed across the boss's eyes. He glanced at Huo Han again and continued, "Last time, there was a kid who participated in a gunfight and didn't bring back a single head. Do you know what happened to him afterwards?"
Huo Han nodded slightly: "I heard that he was taught a lesson."
The boss chuckled. "Yes, according to our gang's rules, if you don't take the head in a gunfight, you'll be punished. But everything has its cause and effect, what do you think?"
Huo Han was silent for a moment, then said, "Everyone has their reasons behind their choices. If you ignore the actual situation and desperately try to kill people because you're worried about punishment, you might end up suffering even greater losses. In today's situation, I think saving people is more important."
… ·……
The boss knocked on the table and said seriously, "So what do you think should be done with people like you who didn't bring back the heads?"
Huo Han thought for a moment: "If a person's decision is for the benefit of the whole and for the safety of his brothers, he should not be punished too severely even if he does not bring back the head.
However, I also know that rules are life, but people are life. If someone truly needs to be punished as a warning to others, then I'm willing to take it." The boss nodded: "You mean, it depends on the situation?"
Huo Han nodded: "Yes, if there is a definite reason, then we can make a decision based on the actual situation."
The atmosphere in the office gradually became relaxed, and neither of them felt as awkward as when they first met.
The boss pondered for a moment and said, "Huo Han, although you haven't been in the gang for a long time, I heard that you are not inexperienced before.
"Your performance this time has shown me your ability and courage. But at the same time, I also want to know how much you know about the rules here."
