Chapter 492 Lian Haolong, Do You Want to Become the Gang Leader?
In the emerald green courtyard of the Huo family mansion, the chirping of birds shattered the afternoon tranquility. Lian Haolong and Huo Han walked along the long corridor, a subtle atmosphere evident between them.
"Huo Han, I think the current situation requires me to stabilize it, at least temporarily." Lian Haolong suddenly proposed.
Huo Han was slightly startled and coughed softly: "Lian Haolong, do you want to be the gang leader?"
Lian Haolong nodded: "Only temporarily."
Just as Huo Han was about to speak, several uncles happened to pass by and overheard Lian Haolong's words. Huo Tianfeng frowned and said, "Lian Haolong, didn't you say you had no ambitions? Why are you still thinking about becoming the gang leader? You still have evil intentions."
Huo Binfeng also spoke: "Yes, do you want to lead our Huo family gang into the dangerous abyss again?"
Lian Haolong blushed slightly. He hadn't expected to be caught by his uncles, but he said firmly, "Uncles, I'm not seeking power, but I feel that at this moment, I'm more suitable for this position."
Huo Han smiled slightly, not seeming angry at all, but rather calm. "Lian Haolong, what reasons do you have that make me think that letting you temporarily become the gang leader is a good choice~"?
Lian Haolong took a deep breath, his eyes determined: "Because I hold many of Tenglong's secrets, that's why I have always been an enemy of Tenglong.
Now, if I were to become the gang leader, Tenglong would definitely be restless, as they would be terrified that I would use these secrets to attack them."
Huo Han's eyes flashed with interest: "Tenglong's secret?"
Lian Haolong nodded slightly. "Yes, during my struggle with Tenglong, I gained a lot of inside information from them, which the Huo family gang could use."
Huo Fenghan came over, a puzzled look on his face: "Then why didn't you mention these secrets before?"
Lian Haolong smiled bitterly: "Because I need a suitable time. If these secrets are exposed in advance, it will not be of any advantage to our Huo family."
Huo Han pondered for a moment, his eyes sharp as a torch: "In that case, I want to hear what these secrets are."
Lian Haolong smiled slightly, opened his robe, and revealed an exquisite little box, which contained the secrets of Tenglong.
Huo Han took the small box and examined it carefully. "Okay, I'll consider your proposal carefully. But Lian Haolong, you must understand that the Huo family's current stability is the result of the hard work of my uncles and me. I don't want your ambition to ruin it all."
Lian Haolong bowed deeply. "Huo Han, I promise I won't let any harm come to the Huo family gang."
As night fell, the main hall of the Huo family mansion was ablaze with lights. Huo Han sat alone in the center, one hand resting on his forehead, reflecting on his recent conversation with Lian Haolong. He seemed to be in control of the situation, but he was well aware that the Tenglong Gang's hostility toward him was deepening, and that his position was, in fact, a target of public criticism.
He sighed softly and said seriously, "Perhaps what Lian Haolong said makes sense."
This sentence was spoken by Huo Han, although it was plain (Qianma Zhao), but it represented the future direction of the Huo family. He was not without the desire for power, but he knew that for the sake of his family,
Consider the long-term interests of the clan and know how to let go when necessary.
Huo Han decided to temporarily give the position of gang leader to Lian Haolong as a strategy to make the outside world mistakenly believe that there was a power struggle within the Huo family, thereby distracting the attention of the Tenglong Gang.
So, that evening, all the uncles and aunts of the Huo family were summoned to the main hall. Huo Han stood in the center, took a deep breath, and then announced his decision.
Everyone showed an expression of disbelief. Huo Tianfeng frowned and said, "Huo Han, have you really thought it through? This is the position of gang leader!"
Huo Han nodded. "I know, but we have to do something. The Tenglong Gang is a tough enemy. We need a strategy to make them let down their guard."
Huo Binfeng's eyes showed worry: "But if we do this, how will the outside world view our Huo family? Our reputation will be damaged."
Huo Han smiled faintly: "Can reputation be eaten? Can it be used as food? As long as the Huo family can stabilize, we can regain reputation at any time." The uncles looked at each other for a moment, and Huo 633 Binfeng said: "Okay, then we support your decision."
Huo Han glanced at his uncles with gratitude, then announced, "No one in the gang, from top to bottom, is allowed to leak this matter. The family comes first."
After Lian Haolong became gang leader, the outside world reacted as he had anticipated. News of the Huo family spread like wildfire. All the major factions speculated about what had transpired within the Huo family and how Lian Haolong had so easily ascended to the position of gang leader.
The Tenglong Gang was even more suspicious. They began to question whether Huo Han had been bribed by Lian Haolong and whether the Huo family had become a puppet of Lian Haolong (bceg).
But what they didn't know was that all of this was a carefully planned game by Huo Han. He hoped that the Tenglong Gang would distract their attention and relax their stance on the Huo family so that he could take advantage of the opportunity and seek greater benefits for the Huo family.
On a rainy night, in the back garden of the Huo family mansion, a man sat alone by a stone bridge. He was dressed in black, and the raindrops hitting his cloak made a faint sound, but they could not dampen his determination.
This is Huo Han. He is no longer the gang leader, but he can move more freely among the various gangs to gather intelligence.
To ensure Huo Han's safety, Lian Haolong deliberately spread the news of his death. From the outside, the Huo family no longer had Huo Han as a major obstacle, and the fighting between the gangs became more intense.
However, this gave Huo Han a rare opportunity. He began to infiltrate various gangs as an ordinary gang member and gather information.
Huo Han discovered that the conflict wasn't limited to the Huo family and the Tenglong Gang; many factions across the Jianghu were secretly fighting for their own interests. But what surprised him even more was that behind these struggles, there seemed to be a much bigger secret hidden.
On a sunset evening, the golden sunset shone on the river, and Huo Han stood alone on the wooden bridge by the river.
His eyes were fixed on an inconspicuous temple in the distance, where a gang was hiding, and this gang had a close connection with Tenglong.
This gang is called "Jinyiwei". Although they are not well-known in the underworld, their power is complicated and they have deep roots with many big gangs.
Huo Han had been investigating their territory for a long time and finally confirmed that they had some kind of secret cooperation with Tenglong.
Huo Han observed patiently, wandering around the temple every day to inquire about the gang's actions. Finally, one day, he heard news about Tenglong.
It turned out that this gang was secretly protecting several important figures of Tenglong in the temple. These people were the core strength of Tenglong, and they were temporarily staying here for a big plan.
Huo Han was quite surprised by this. He knew that one of these people was the leader of the Tenglong Gang, and the others were also experts within the gang. Their temporary residence must be related to the Tenglong Gang's grand plan.
Huo Han suspected that this grand plan might be related to the mysterious treasure he had discovered earlier. To further confirm his suspicions, he decided to sneak into the temple.
In the hazy night, Huo Han, like a stealthy leopard, quietly entered the temple. Inside, the lights were ablaze, and the air was thick with incense. In a side hall, he saw the Tenglong masters sitting together, conversing in low voices.
Huo Han leaned against the window, trying to hold his breath. He heard them talking about the treasure and how the Huo family, Lian Haolong, and their gang had helped Tenglong seize it.
It turns out that this gang has reached a cooperation with Tenglong in order to gain some benefits from the Huo family. However, Tenglong has greater ambitions and wants to use the power of this gang to seize the clues to the mysterious treasure.
Huo Han was shocked when he heard this. He knew he couldn't wait any longer and had to report back to Lian Haolong as soon as possible to discuss countermeasures together.
As he quietly left the temple, he suddenly felt a chill on his back and a cold voice rang out: "Want to leave?" Huo Han turned around and saw a tall, stern-faced man blocking his way.
The two men locked eyes, the atmosphere tense. Huo Han knew he couldn't act rashly at this moment. He took a deep breath and said calmly, "Who are you? Why are you here?" The man sneered, "Huo Han, do you really think you can do whatever you want?"
Huo Han's eyes flashed: "You know me~?"
The man said, "Of course. Who among the Huo family don't we know?"
Huo Han knew that he was in crisis, but he was not someone who would give up easily.
Huo Han leaned against the window, gazing at the pitch-black night outside the temple, lost in thought. His eyes were sharp, as if they could penetrate the darkness and discern the secrets hidden within.
The Tenglong Gang, once unrivaled in the underworld, is now caught in a dilemma, attacked from both within and without. Many gangs are uniting to fight against Tenglong. Key figures within the Tenglong Gang become crucial pawns in this war.
Huo Han touched the letter in his sleeve, which he got from the Jinyiwei. It described in detail the core members of the Tenglong Gang and the secrets they held.
"These important figures must know the Tenglong Gang's grand plan. What they have in their hands must not just be some ordinary secrets." Huo Han said to himself.
If he could obtain these secrets, Huo Han would be fully confident in driving the Tenglong Gang into ruin, ushering in a new era for the martial arts world. This was exactly what he had hoped for.
Huo Han patted the table lightly, making a decision. "I have to act now and find those important figures. Perhaps I can learn more from them." Huo Han immediately assigned personnel to closely monitor those important figures. He wanted to know their every move, every word and deed.
…………
Soon, Huo Han heard a piece of news: a core member of the Tenglong Gang, a man named Poyun, had recently been frequently spotted in a remote mountain village, a secret base of the Tenglong Gang.
Huo Han decided to sneak into the villa himself. He wanted to find out what Po Yun was doing there.
The night was hazy, and the mountain breeze blew gently as Huo Han quietly arrived at the gate of the villa. He carefully avoided the guards and used his extraordinary lightness skills to successfully sneak into the villa.
Inside the manor's room, Po Yun was having a secret conversation with a few people. Huo Han hid outside the window, listening in on their conversation.
"Everyone knows that the current situation is extremely unfavorable to us. Those gangs have united to deal with us. If we don't take action, we will be surrounded and wiped out by them sooner or later." Poyun said anxiously.
A burly man stroked his beard and said, "We have a secret. It's our trump card. We can threaten those gangs anytime we want."
Poyun nodded, "We can't wait, we must take the initiative."
Huo Han's heart tightened upon hearing this. This secret seemed truly extraordinary. He became even more determined: he must obtain it as quickly as possible, and then use it to thwart Tenglong's grand plan in one fell swoop.
