Chapter 473 Waking up feels like a lifetime has passed
The car sped through the cold night. Jiang Tao and Huo Han sat in the back seat, with the "rescued" wealthy man between them. But throughout the entire process, the wealthy man seemed somewhat dazed, silent, his eyes lacking their usual sharpness.
Jiang Tao drove the car very fast, trying to leave the chaotic area as soon as possible, but he looked at the rich man in the rearview mirror from time to time and felt something was wrong.
Huo Han's intuition was stronger. He felt that everything before had gone too smoothly and the rich man's reaction was too strange.
"Jiang Tao." Huo Han said in a low voice, his eyes becoming increasingly fierce. "I doubt this is the real boss."
Jiang Tao grasped this point instantly. After a moment of silence, he slammed on the brakes and the car stopped abruptly on a remote road.
Huo Han turned to look at the "rich man," his eyes locked on his. "If you are truly rich, then please tell me about our agreement in the car."
The "rich man" just looked at them coldly without responding.
"Time is running out." Jiang Tao said with a firm look in his eyes, "We must go back quickly."
Huo Han nodded. They couldn't waste time. The real rich were still waiting for their rescue. Jiang Tao rushed back, and they returned to the room that had been arranged very safely.
Huo Han kicked the door open and walked to a large wardrobe by instinct.
He took a deep breath and slowly opened the cabinet. Sure enough, the real rich man was hiding inside, his hands and feet bound, with a piece of cloth stuffed in his mouth.
Huo Han rushed forward hurriedly to rescue the rich man when the sharp sound of a sniper rifle pierced the air.
He instinctively dodged, pushing the rich man to the ground in an instant, and instantly pushed down a huge wardrobe, blocking the sniper's sight.
The lenses in front of my eyes were flying, dust was flying, and the whole space suddenly became a smoky battlefield.
The rich man was a little caught off guard by the sudden attack, but his eyes were unusually calm, as if he was already accustomed to this kind of life-and-death attack and defense.
After a brief period of dodging, Huo Han took advantage of the chaos and quickly located the sniper, hiding on the rooftop of the opposite building. He quickly drew the pistol from his waist, his eyes flashing with murderous intent, ready to strike back.
He felt that everything was under control, but just as he was about to pull the trigger, a blinding flash appeared on the rooftop opposite. Another gunshot rang out, but this time, Huo Han seemed to be under attack.
… 0 … …
At this critical moment, a figure suddenly rushed forward like the wind, pressing Huo Han to the ground and protecting him. Huo Han subconsciously wanted to struggle, but then realized that it was Jiang Tao, their partner.
"Are you okay?" Jiang Tao asked with concern.
..0
Huo Han sat up again and shook his head: "I'm fine, thank you."
He looked at the sniper's position and saw a wisp of black smoke rising. It turned out that when Jiang Tao rushed towards him, he had successfully shot the other party.
The sniper's gun exploded.
Huo Han patted Jiang Tao on the shoulder and said, "Thank you so much for what you did just now. But that was just a trick. They wanted to distract me with the fake sniper sounds."
Jiang Tao smiled slightly, "I know you can handle it, but I still subconsciously want to protect you."
Huo Han looked at Jiang Tao with emotion, "What a good brother."
The rich man's breathing was a little rapid, his eyes filled with fear and confusion. Huo Han picked up the rich man and patted his back comfortingly, "It's okay, we're here."
The rich man finally relaxed a little. Huo Han and Jiang Tao supported him to sit on the sofa and poured him a glass of water.
"Thank you so much," the rich man said, his tone full of deep gratitude. "I never thought they would do this."
Jiang Tao sighed: "There are all kinds of people in this world. Fortunately, we discovered it in time."
Huo Han clenched his fists, his anger burning in his chest. "Since they dare to do this, we can't let them go easily."
"Ninety-six-seven..." The wealthy man also stood up at this moment, a smile on his dusty face. "You two are really working together well. I think I have found the right person this time. This time, I must investigate thoroughly and find the person behind this."
Jiang Tao and Huo Han looked at each other and nodded in tacit understanding, "We will do our best to help you."
The rich man walked back into the banquet hall in an imposing manner. The light shone on his slightly tired face, but his confident expression made him look even more noble.
Many guests at the banquet have stood up. It is obvious that the chaos just now was a huge blow to them. Even the tough-minded bosses are a little uneasy.
"Everyone, I'm really sorry for the inconvenience this has caused you," the rich man began to speak. Although his voice was calm, it revealed his firm determination. "You know, if it weren't for Huo Han tonight, I might have become the headline of the news."
Huo Han stood beside the rich man and looked at the people around him. He knew that this was the rich man's strategy, to expose the masters around him to warn them, and it was also a recognition of him.
Some guests seemed uneasy and expressed their gratitude for being able to leave this place alive. The rich man saw them off with a smile on his face, but his eyes showed his inner vigilance.
After most of the guests had left, a man who bore a striking resemblance to the wealthy man was about to depart. His presence was particularly striking, not only because of his resemblance to the wealthy man, but also because of his innate noble aura.
The wealthy man looked at the man and said calmly, "Mr. Lin, please wait a moment."
The man stopped and turned to look at the rich man, smiling slightly: "Cousin, this banquet was really exciting. I am actually a little scared."
The rich man said calmly: "I didn't expect this, but since you are here, I have something I want to discuss with you alone."
Huo Han looked at the two of them and felt a subtle atmosphere. He guessed that the relationship between this man and the rich man was definitely more than just an ordinary relative.
"Okay, if there's anything, just tell me..." Master Lin said with a hint of amusement in his eyes.
The rich man pointed to the private room next to him and said, "Let's talk over there."
The two entered the box, and Huo Han was still guarding outside the door, remaining alert at all times.
He didn't know what the rich man wanted to talk to Master Lin about, but from their previous conversation, he could feel that there seemed to be an unknown secret hidden between the two.
The atmosphere in the box became extremely tense. The wealthy man sat on the sofa, staring coldly at the man in front of him, his brother, Lin Jin.
"Lin Jin, I know you are jealous of me, jealous that I have a good life." said the rich man.
Lin Jin sneered, "Brother, you guessed right. You've always lived a life of luxury, while I've been living in the open. We have the same mother and father, so why is fate so unfair?"
The rich man took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. "I am sorry for you, but this won't solve the problem."
Lin Jin's laughter became even sharper. "Oh? But I wasn't thinking about solving any problems. I just wanted to try and see what it would feel like to take over your life."
Huo Han stood at the door. After hearing this, he understood why the wealthy man hired him. It turned out that there was such a family dispute behind it.
*Long press the paragraph you like to record your thoughts*
The rich man said calmly, "Do you know why I came in even though I knew it was a trap? Because I hope that the feud between us brothers can be settled here."
Lin Jin's eyes flickered with flames: "Do you think I will let you go?"
"I don't have that fantasy," the rich man replied, "I just don't want you to get stuck in the quagmire again."
Suddenly, Lin Jin pulled a knife from his pocket and rushed towards the wealthy man. Huo Han, quick-witted and swift-handed, rushed into the private room and engaged in a fierce hand-to-hand fight with Lin Jin. The two men engaged in a fierce battle in the private room. Huo Han's fighting skills were clearly superior, but Lin Jin's frenzy made him unpredictable.
Lin Jin waved the knife in his hand again and again, trying to stab Huo Han, while Huo Han dodged cleverly, trying to subdue him.
After a fierce fight, Huo Han finally pinned Lin Jin to the ground and took the knife from his hand.
The wealthy man watched all this with mixed feelings. He walked up to Lin Jin and whispered, "Jin, I can fulfill your wish and let you live a good life, but you have to give up this idea."
Lin Jin raised his head, tears in his eyes: "I know I did something wrong, but..."
The rich man interrupted him: "Stop talking. From now on, you are the young master of this family. Everything will change."
Huo Han breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at the brothers, he also understood that the love and hatred between families were sometimes more complicated than the mission.
On the plane, the blue sky and white clouds outside the window seemed to encourage this decision. The wealthy man sat in the luxurious cabin, his mind racing, thinking about the new life that was about to greet him.
Huo Han sat opposite him. He knew that the rich man had a lot to say at this moment. The rich man cleared his throat and said, "Huo Han, this time it's all thanks to you.
I thought about changing to this kind of life for a long time.
Abroad, I had mountains of wealth, but every day I was consumed by expectations, connections, and business, and waking up felt like I'd lived a lifetime. Coming back here, a simple life is what I truly yearn for."
Huo Han chuckled. "Mr. Rich, you know, even if you live in the bright light all the time, sometimes you need to retreat to the shadows and rest. I completely understand your decision."
The rich man nodded. "I knew you would understand. However, we are the only ones who know this. You are the only one who knows the truth, and I only trust you." Huo Han frowned. "I promised to protect you, so I will keep my mouth shut. Besides, I don't care about your gold, silver, and treasures. I only do what I think is right."
The rich man smiled and said, "I know, but I still want to give you something in return. After all, this time you not only protected me, but also helped me complete this decision."
Huo Han shook his head. "Money is just a tool for me. I already have enough tools. Helping you is part of my job. I don't need any extra compensation."
The wealthy man took a deep breath, looked at Huo Han, and said earnestly, "Huo Han, remember, the highest state of life is not wealth, but freedom of the soul. I hope you can find your true freedom."
Huo Han smiled slightly: 097 "Thank you Mr. Fuhao for your teachings, I will remember it."
A few days later, in the countryside early in the morning, amid the sound of birdsong, a man in ordinary farmer's clothes was working diligently in the fields. His face was covered in sweat, but his eyes revealed a peace and contentment he had never experienced before.
In another place, the man who looks very similar to the rich man is enjoying a brand new life, luxurious and busy, but he seems to be used to it.
The two people exchanged their lives just to pursue true inner freedom and satisfaction.
Huo Han has become the most crucial chess piece in this life drama. His duty has been completed and he is waiting for the next call.
