Chapter 451 Huo Han begins a new round of investigation

As the night faded and the sun began to shine again, Huo Han began a new round of investigation. He ordered his men to thoroughly investigate the case from three years ago, leaving no clues unturned.

He needed a detailed report of all the circumstances. He also began to investigate the case backwards. After all, the Lian Haolong incident was over, and he needed to start over.

Meanwhile, Lian Haolong couldn't bear the loneliness in prison. He stayed up all night, constantly lobbying the guards, trying to find a way out. He refused to be trapped in this shabby, cramped prison. His ambitions and aspirations far exceeded the limitations of this small cell.

I want to see Huo Han! He shouted loudly, his voice full of despair and expectation.

However, until dawn, no one paid any attention to him. He was alone sitting in the corner of the cell, clinging to hope and despair.

Until the sunlight illuminated the cell, a guard came over and threw him a newspaper, saying, "Look, all the information Huo Han wants is here."

Lian Haolong took the newspaper and read it word by word, his heart sinking as he read. It turned out that Huo Han had already seen through all his past actions.

Huo Han… he muttered, his eyes filled with anger and panic. He threw away the newspaper, sat down on the ground, and sighed. He knew he needed to come up with a solution quickly.

He replayed the situation in his mind, searching for possible solutions. Finally, an idea struck him. He raised his head, a determined glint in his eyes.

I want to negotiate with Huo Han. I have conditions and demands! He decided that he would try to change the situation and gain more hope.

This decision changed his fate, and it also affected Huo Han and his men. Their lives began to change because of this decision. How they would face the future, what choices they would make, remained an unknown, and they, too, had to face this uncertain future.

Huo Han frowned upon hearing that Lian Haolong had been making a scene in jail all night. Having initially dismissed the matter, he changed his mind and decided to visit the cell himself. This decision wasn't without purpose; he hoped to get more information about undercover Officer Miao from Lian Haolong.

Sunlight streamed in through the cracks in the prison window, illuminating Lian Haolong's tired yet determined face. Huo Han, accompanied by several of his men, entered the cell. A complex light flickered in his eyes as he looked at the man, who hadn't slept all night.

Lian Haolong was obviously not panicked by Huo Han's arrival. He looked directly at Huo Han with a firm look, even with a hint of provocation.

Huo Han frowned and sneered: You seem to still have some fighting spirit, Lian Haolong.

Lian Haolong sneered: "I don't have time to waste with you, Huo Han. You should know that I'm not afraid of anything."

Huo Han glanced at him. "Really? Then you must know what will happen to you if you don't cooperate, right?"

Lian Haolong was silent for a moment. He knew this was Huo Han's warning, as well as his threat. He carefully studied the man, trying to read some information from his eyes. But Huo Han's eyes were cold and firm, making it impossible for him to detect any flaws.

After a moment of silence, Lian Haolong broke the silence. He looked at Huo Han, a sneer curling his lips. "I know my current situation, Huo Han. If you have any questions, just ask. I'm not one to waste time."

Huo Han's eyes flickered with satisfaction when he heard this. "Very good, let's get straight to the point. I want to know, how did you infiltrate the gang and become an undercover agent? How did you manage to stay undetected?"

This was the information Huo Han wanted to know. He knew that Lian Haolong must have some intelligence that he didn't know, and this information might help him find the traitor in the gang.

Lian Haolong didn't answer Huo Han's question immediately. He slowly closed his eyes, seemingly contemplating his response. Huo Han waited for his response. He knew the answer to this question was crucial, and he was willing to wait for it to be revealed.

Huo Han's men placed a pot of freshly brewed tea in front of Lian Haolong and prepared a few snacks for him. Although this was a prison cell, this treatment was already quite good. Huo Han knew that Lian Haolong had spent a hungry and thirsty night in this small cell and needed to recover his strength to have enough energy to deal with him.

Lian Haolong looked at the tea and snacks before him, a complex emotion flickering in his eyes. He knew this was Huo Han's strategy, a test and a threat. But he didn't refuse. Instead, he quickly picked up the teacup and took a long sip. He was truly hungry and thirsty.

After drinking the tea, Lian Haolong looked at Huo Han in front of him, "Huo Han, can I have another cigarette?" His voice was calm, but with a hint of sarcasm.

Huo Han narrowed his eyes, took out a cigarette and handed it to Lian Haolong. As long as you can provide me with the information I need, I can meet any of your requirements.

Lian Haolong took the cigarette, lit it, took a deep breath, and looked at Huo Han. "I've already told you what you wanted to know. Now, what I want to know is, what are you going to do with me?"

Huo Han looked at Lian Haolong and sneered. "You are a smart man, Lian Haolong. You should know that our cooperation is over. You have lost any valuable information to me. All you have left is to wait for death."

As Lian Haolong listened to Huo Han's words, his expression shifted from initial surprise to indifference, and then to apathy. He knew he couldn't change Huo Han's decision; his fate was no longer in his own hands.

…0 ·

But he was not afraid. He looked at Huo Han and took a deep puff of cigarette. The smoke spread around him. Then he said slowly: Then wait for death. I have been prepared for it.

His voice was calm and resolute, like someone who had seen through everything. He knew this might be his fate, but he wasn't afraid, because he was Lian Haolong, and he would never give in.

0…..…0

Looking at Huo Han's cold gaze, Lian Haolong took a deep breath. He knew he couldn't give up easily. His expression became resolute. "Huo Han, I still have value. I came here to propose a new cooperation. I hope you can trust me again."

Huo Han narrowed his eyes and stared at Lian Haolong. After a long silence, he slowly spoke, "I can give you one more chance, but this will be the last. If you disappoint me again, you should understand the consequences."

Lian Haolong did not hesitate. He nodded in agreement and said, "I will fully cooperate."

Huo Han changed the subject and began to explore the sensitive issue from three years ago. Tell me, what exactly happened three years ago?

Lian Haolong seemed a little hesitant about this question. He slowly put the cigarette butt in the ashtray, took a deep breath, and then began to tell the story. That year, I entered your gang as an undercover agent.

Lian Haolong's voice was filled with reminiscence, tinged with pain. Everything that happened three years ago felt like a nightmare to him, those dusty memories being unearthed once again. He recounted everything from that year, including how he joined the gang in 100, how he gained Huo Han's trust, and how he betrayed the gang, was discovered by Huo Han, and then fled.

He described it in great detail and truthfully, and the whole story sounded like a thrilling movie, except that the protagonist of this movie was himself.

Huo Han listened quietly, his eyes expressionless. He was waiting, waiting for Lian Haolong to finish his story, waiting for him to reveal who the traitor was.

Lian Haolong knew that he could no longer hide anything. He had to tell the truth because this was his only chance, his last chance.

So he told Huo Han everything, including the most crucial name - who was the traitor who betrayed the gang.

After listening to Lian Haolong's narration, Huo Han took a deep breath and said slowly, "Have you found the identity of the anonymous whistleblower you mentioned?"

Lian Haolong was silent for a moment, then shook his head cautiously. "No. I've tried to look for him, but to no avail. He doesn't seem to want me to find him; his whereabouts remain shrouded in shadows."

Huo Han raised his eyebrows slightly, expressing a hint of doubt. "Don't you think that person's identity is important? He could be our enemy, or he could be our friend. Don't you want to find out?"

Lian Haolong looked at Huo Han deeply and said slowly, "Of course I know his identity is important, and I used to want to know who he is. But then, I started to think, maybe he just wants to help us quietly from the shadows. If that's the case, then why should I bother to disrupt this balance?"

Huo Han frowned slightly, but didn't answer Lian Haolong immediately. His thoughts raced, and he knew he needed to analyze the problem calmly.

He was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "I understand your perspective, but we can't ignore the danger he might pose just because he's helped us before. I'm sure you understand that there's no such thing as unprovoked kindness in this world. He must have a purpose for helping us."

Lian Haolong looked at Huo Han and nodded deeply, "I understand what you mean. I will try my best to find him." After he said that, he picked up the teacup and took a deep sip of tea. He knew that he still faced many challenges.

A flicker of worry crossed Huo Han's face. He rubbed the cigarette in his hand, feeling a sudden surge of pressure. Lian Haolong's account had made him deeply wary of this anonymous individual. If everything Lian Haolong said was true, then this individual's intelligence network was incredibly powerful, even capable of providing precise warnings at crucial moments.

This made Huo Han feel uneasy. After all, he had now taken over Lian Haolong's manpower, and his identity was somewhat special. If he was used by this person hiding in the shadows, the consequences could be very serious.
