Chapter 477 Brother Lian, Huo Han is gone
"I heard that you have very sharp ears?" Lian Haolong looked at the "ears" with a look of disdain.
The corners of Ear's mouth turned up, revealing a cunning smile: "For the right price, my ears can even hear the secrets in the wind."
Lian Haolong threw a stack of banknotes impatiently: "I want to know Huo Han's whereabouts."
After a brief silence, Erduo said, "They went to the South District. I heard they were going to meet with a big boss."
"Give me more details!" Lian Haolong raised his voice.
A hint of fear flashed through his ears. "Huo Han and a big boss named Qi Tian have agreed to meet at a private club called '21 Golden Moon Night' in the South District."
Upon receiving the news, Lian Haolong decided to act immediately. He thought this might be his chance to turn the tables and perhaps even profit from it. After all, a deal with Qi Tian was no small matter.
The black market, a veritable marketplace, some call it the bazaar of hell, with secrets hidden in every corner. As night falls, the action here begins. The lights are bright and the atmosphere is as bustling as day, even in the dead of night.
After Lian Haolong arrived at the black market, he searched for a long time but couldn't find Huo Han.
Lian Haolong walked through the bustling black market with a gloomy expression, not missing any clues.
"Brother Lian, Huo Han has left." A subordinate told him respectfully.
Lian Haolong glanced at him coldly, "Are you sure?"
"How dare I lie to Brother Lian? Seriously, he's gone."
Although everyone told him that Huo Han had left, Lian Haolong had a hunch that Huo Han was still in the black market. He continued to search, but one by one, the people in the black market began to stay away from him.
Huo Han hid in a restaurant on the black market, in a private room on the second floor. Through the half-closed curtains, he could clearly see Lian Haolong asking questions.
"It seems that he still can't give up." Huo Han smiled and pointed out the window, "Keep paying attention to him and don't let him find me."
A well-dressed middle-aged man nodded. "Don't worry, Boss. There's nothing we don't know about the black market."
Huo Han nodded with satisfaction and continued to savor his wine, but he was thinking about his next plan of action in his mind.
At the same time, Lian Haolong was already getting anxious, as he knew that time was running out.
With each passing second, he felt the pressure grow. Finally, he stopped, took a deep breath, and then slowly said, "I know you all know Huo Han's whereabouts, but why didn't you tell me?"
The surrounding black market residents fell silent, and then someone spoke up: "Huo Han is the boss now, he has the final say. And you, Brother Lian, are just a thing of the past."
Lian Haolong's eyes flashed coldly: "Say it again?"
The man took a step back, but still mustered up the courage: "Huo Han is the boss now, and you, Brother Lian, have been replaced by 840."
Lian Haolong took a deep breath, then slowly turned and left the black market. However, he had already made up his mind to reclaim everything that belonged to him. Although Huo Han had successfully bribed most of the black market people, he knew that his battle with Lian Haolong had only just begun.
Lian Haolong approached an antique vendor and was about to inquire about Huo Han's whereabouts when he looked up, feeling the atmosphere freeze. A chill wind swept through, and figures emerged from the drifting smoke. They emerged from the darkness, their weapons reflecting a dim light.
Chapter 406: Down and Out
"Lian Haolong, you are on our territory, so you must follow our rules." A masked man said coldly.
Lian Haolong's expression instantly grew solemn. Although he had lost his gang background, he was still the former leader, and his skills were still extraordinary. "What do you want?" he asked. The masked man sneered, "Huo Han will let you taste the taste of defeat."
Instantly, the crowd rushed towards Lian Haolong. Lian Haolong clenched his fists, his body erupting with astonishing strength like a spring. He moved swiftly, his fists thundering, each strike striking the opponent's vital points.
But the disparity in numbers still put him under immense pressure. Under the constant attacks, his movements gradually slowed down.
A cold front streaked across, and blood flowed from Lian Haolong's arm. He suddenly stepped back a few steps, avoiding the endless attack, but the people around him seemed endless, constantly approaching him.
"I'll pay you and you let me go!" Lian Haolong gasped, his voice full of despair.
A man stepped out of the crowd, his face stern. "Do you think anyone on the black market still values your money? Your time is over."
Lian Haolong's eyes flashed with anger, but he also knew the situation was no longer favorable to him. Being attacked by a group, he could only passively defend himself. He saw no way out, already suffering from multiple knife wounds, his clothes torn and covered in blood.
At that moment, a shrill whistle suddenly pierced the night sky, and the crowd's attack suddenly stopped. A voice shouted, "Police! Stop right there!" It turned out that the police near the black market had learned of the situation and rushed to break up the street fight. Seeing that the situation was not good, the masked people fled in all directions.
Lian Haolong collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath. Blood flowed over the cold ground. He looked up at the starry sky, his heart filled with anger and helplessness.
In the distance, Huo Han stood on the roof, watching all this, with a sneer on his face.
On the rooftop, Huo Han smoked a cigarette, letting the smoke linger around him. He took a deep breath, his thoughts swirling. This farce seemed to be a lesson for Lian Haolong, but in fact, for Huo Han, it was just a rehearsal.
The black market was full of rumors about the evil deeds of the gang of bullies. They were like wolves in the wind, cunning and ferocious, and they could easily destroy any hostile forces.
Lian Haolong has now lost his power and become a headless fly, and Huo Han took this opportunity to aggravate his predicament.
"Find a replacement." Huo Han said to his confidant beside him. "This game is far from over."
The confidant nodded slightly, "What are your plans?"
Huo Han smiled slightly: "People like Lian Haolong, although he has lost his power, he was once the leader of the team after all, and he must have many confidants.
The purpose of having a body double is to obfuscate the viewer so that we can do things quietly behind the scenes."
Huo Han's confidant pondered for a moment, "There are many faces in the black market. It's not difficult to find someone who looks similar to you."
Huo Han nodded (good promise), "Exactly what you said. After I find him, I will personally teach him some things to ensure that he can perfectly cover for me."
The two quietly left the rooftop and headed deep into the black market. After much searching, they found a thief named "Yan Qing" who looked very similar to Huo Han, but with a different temperament.
A little immature.
Huo Han met Yan Qing in a tavern. "I'll give you a chance," Huo Han said calmly. "Replace me, and I'll pay you well."
Yan Qing's eyes revealed surprise; he had clearly not expected to be approached by such a prominent figure. But he was also a shrewd man, his lips curled upwards. "As long as the price is right, I'm willing to do anything for you."
Huo Han nodded in satisfaction, then discussed some details with Yan Qing. He needed Yan Qing to appear on his behalf in certain situations for a period of time to confuse Lian Haolong, while he carried out his own plan in the dark.
On the other hand, after Lian Haolong learned that Huo Han frequently appeared in the black market, he began to send people to inquire everywhere, hoping to find Huo Han's whereabouts.
But Huo Han's plan began to be implemented step by step. All he saw was Yan Qing's figure, which made him fall into confusion again.
It was a dark night in a shabby little bar. A kerosene lamp lit atop a dark wooden table, illuminating the center of the bar. There, Huo Han sat across from a stern-looking, flamboyantly dressed middle-aged man. Both men were silent, and the atmosphere was oppressive.
The man's name was Cai Feng. He was said to be a well-known bounty hunter on the black market, skilled in tracking and assassination. Hearing that Huo Han had issued a reward, he walked in, intending to make a killing.
Cai Feng glanced at Huo Han and smiled smugly: "Boss Huo, I heard you are looking for a replacement. What are my conditions?"
Huo Han glanced at him coldly, "You and I look nothing alike. I've already found it."
Cai Feng showed a triumphant smile, "It doesn't matter, as long as the boss gives me enough money, I promise not to tell anyone about this."
Huo Han frowned, seemingly unconcerned about Cai Feng's threat. Instead, he leaned back in his chair and asked, "So what do you want?"
"Give me fifty taels of gold and I will leave today. I promise not to tell anyone." Cai Feng narrowed his eyes and looked at Huo Han greedily.
Huo Han smiled softly, then suddenly his eyes turned sharp: "Cai Feng, do you really think I'm afraid of you? In this black market, there are some people you can't afford to offend."
Cai Feng's expression changed, but he quickly regained his composure: "Mr. Huo, I was just joking, don't take it seriously."
Huo Han did not respond, but just took a sip of wine and looked at Cai Feng with a serious look.
Cai Feng felt oppressed. Huo Han's gaze was like a sharp dagger, piercing his heart. He began to regret coming here, but he couldn't retreat easily. "Boss Huo, since you say so, then I'll leave." Cai Feng tried to turn around and leave, but Huo Han's words stopped him in his tracks.
"Cai Feng, you can spread it as much as you want?" Huo Han's voice was soft, but the murderous intent in it became stronger and stronger.
Cai Feng was so scared that his face turned pale and his whole body was shaking. He knew that he had touched Huo Han's bottom line, and now he might pay the price with his life.
"I was wrong, Boss Huo, please let me go!" Cai Feng knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
Huo Han sighed softly, then stood up, walked to Cai Feng, and looked down at him: "Cai Feng, I have given Guo Biao a chance."
When Cai Feng heard this, he felt confused, but he knew that he had no choice.
Lian Haolong learned from a small fry that Huo Han was looking for a replacement and instantly realized this was a rare opportunity. He had to strike before Huo Han found a replacement and regain his position in the team.
He loudly posted a bounty on the black market, claiming that anyone who could assassinate Huo Han would be rewarded handsomely.
