Chapter 458 Huo Han is indeed not someone to be trifled with

At this time, one of Lian Haolong's men, a middle-aged man named Lao Zhao, stood up. He had always been dissatisfied with Huo Han's control of power. Now seeing Huo Han's inaction, he took the opportunity to instigate, "Huo Han probably doesn't want to take care of our situation anymore. It seems we have to rely on ourselves."

Everyone fell silent after hearing this. Although Lao Zhao's words were harsh, they also made people think deeply.

Huo Han was about to reshuffle his plans. He knew Lian Haolong was involved, and things were far more complicated than he'd anticipated. He had to reevaluate his entire plan. "Everyone, listen up! There's a change in our plan." Huo Han stood before them, his gaze sharp. "Lian Haolong is involved. We can't proceed as planned." Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. The mention of Lian Haolong's name surprised them all.

"How could this happen?" someone asked.

Huo Han shook his head: "The specific situation is still unclear, but we must re-examine it and make the most appropriate decision."

At this time, Lao Zhao and others had already quietly prepared for action. They felt that Huo Han would not care, so they decided to rescue people themselves.

Huo Han continued to make plans and also arranged people to observe the movements of Lian Haolong's men.

Soon, everything was ready and Huo Han led the team to set off. Without his knowledge, Lao Zhao also quietly set off with a group of people.

Although Huo Han re-examined his plan, he did not realize the hidden crisis around him. Someone was plotting to use this opportunity to overthrow Huo Han's position.

As the night deepens, the two groups take their own actions, and a complex contest is about to begin.

Huo Han frowned, not only because of the sudden situation, but also because of the impatient attitude of Lian Haolong's men, which made him feel that the situation was becoming more and more difficult.

While he was busy making plans, Lao Zhao and others had already begun quietly preparing the ransom and planning their own actions.

"Huo Han probably really doesn't want to save our people anymore." Old Zhao said to the small team with resentment on his face.

"Brother, can we go and rescue people by ourselves?" Xiao Zhang asked anxiously.

"Let's find the second-in-command Lian Haolong, he will definitely take action." A hint of cunning flashed in Old Zhao's eyes.

Huo Han's men noticed the dissatisfaction of Lian Haolong's side, and someone found Huo Han privately.

"Brother, Lian Haolong's men are disobedient and want to take matters into their own hands." A subordinate named Xiao Li said anxiously.

Huo Han instantly understood the other party's plan, and a cold light flashed in his eyes: "They dare to do this?"

Xiao Li nodded: "Old Zhao has always been dissatisfied, and now they are taking this opportunity to really stir up trouble."

… ·………

Huo Han stood up, walked to the window and took a deep breath. "I know what they are thinking, but the situation is urgent and the danger is too high. I can't let them go."

Xiao Li frowned: "Then they must be dissatisfied."

Huo Han sneered: "If they are not satisfied, then they are not satisfied. My subordinates are not people they can command at will."

Huo Han knew that Lao Zhao and the others' actions would only make things more complicated, so he decided to go to the scene himself and solve the problem.

0...

Old Zhao and the others continued to plan secretly, unaware that Huo Han had already seen through their intentions.

Under the cover of night, Huo Han and his group drove to their destination. The car was silent, and everyone's faces were filled with nervous expressions.

Huo Han made a phone call in the car: "Keep a close eye on Lao Zhao and the others and don't let them do anything weird."

"Understood, big brother." The voice on the other end of the phone responded.

As the convoy continued to move forward, Huo Han's eyes flashed with determination. He knew that this wasn't just about saving people, but also a challenge to Lian Haolong and his men, and he couldn't afford to lose.

Lao Zhao and his men were also plotting their plans in the dark on the other side.

The conflict between the two factions could erupt at any time, and every little action could become the fuse that ignites it.

Lian Haolong sat in a private room at the club, fiddling with a teacup in his hands, a smug smile on his face. Opposite him sat a small thug, his expression tense.

"This time, things went well," Lian Haolong said calmly. "Huo Han is on his way. This negotiation turned into a crisis, just as I hoped."

The little minion nodded, his voice trembling a little: "Brother, what if Huo Han finds out?"

A hint of cunning flashed in Lian Haolong's eyes: "Although Huo Han is smart, he would not think that I am the one who is causing trouble. Even if he suspects, he can't find any evidence. Besides, I didn't ask you to cause trouble, nor did I take any direct action."

The little minions nodded: "Yes, big brother."

Lian Haolong took another deep sip of his tea and said slowly, "This incident will not only test Huo Han's abilities, but it will also alienate his relationship with my former subordinates. If he doesn't handle it well, those people will start to have expectations of me and wait for my return."

The little minions lowered their heads and said, "Brother, what about the ransom?"

Lian Haolong sneered, "Ransom? That's just a pretext. Once Huo Han arrives at the scene, he'll realize it's a trap. However, I don't think he'll be fooled so easily."

There was a complicated light in his eyes, as if he was thinking about something.

The minions looked at Lian Haolong and didn't dare to say a word.

Lian Haolong continued, "We must seize the opportunity to gradually erode Huo Han's power. This is just the beginning, there will be many more opportunities in the future."

After saying that, Lian Haolong stood up, walked to the window, and overlooked the bustling city.

The little minions followed closely behind and asked, "Brother, what should I do now?"

Lian Haolong turned around, his eyes sharp: “You go back, continue to play your little role, and don’t expose yourself. Everything will go according to plan.”

His voice was full of confidence and determination.

The little minions nodded: "Yes, big brother."

Lian Haolong looked out the window again, a smile on his face. He knew the game had just begun.

Lian Haolong and his minions left the club and arrived at a remote warehouse. This was where he met with the man he wanted to negotiate with. This man, Zhao Gang, had once been Lian Haolong's right-hand man, but now he wanted to discuss redemption with him.

The warehouse was dim, with only a few flickering lights illuminating a few old wooden tables and chairs... Zhao Gang had been waiting there, and when he saw Lian Haolong appear, he couldn't help but show a look of surprise.

"Brother Lian! You are finally here!" Zhao Gang walked forward excitedly.

Lian Haolong frowned and stared at Zhao Gang coldly: "Sit down."

Zhao Gang sat down in shock, at a loss as to what to do.

Lian Haolong sat opposite him and said slowly, "Tell me, what do you want from me?"

Zhao Gang quickly stated, "Brother Lian, this situation is a bit tricky. As you know, Huo Han is in charge now, but I think you're more suitable to lead us. I'm wondering if you could help us resolve this ransom issue. This would benefit the gang, and you'd also be able to demonstrate your leadership style."

After hearing this, Lian Haolong's face darkened. He stood up suddenly and slapped Zhao Gang in the face.

Zhao Gang was stunned, his face full of surprise.

"You disloyal dog!" Lian Haolong shouted angrily, "I promoted you, and now you want to use me to achieve your goals!"

Zhao Gang blushed and stammered, "Brother Lian, I... I just think you're more suitable..."

Chapter 350: Suitable

"Suitable?" Lian Haolong sneered. "Suitable, you what? Do you think I don't know your little tricks? You think you can lure me into action with such a low-level trick?" He walked up to Zhao Gang and looked down at him. "You're just a clown! Do you really think I, Lian Haolong, would be interested in someone like you?"

Zhao Gang's face turned pale. He knew that he was playing with fire and getting burned.

Lian Haolong looked at him coldly, his tone stern: "Listen carefully, from now on, you will never appear in front of me again. Otherwise, you will end up in a terrible situation."

After saying this, he turned and left.

Zhao Gang sat in the chair blankly, with shock and fear intertwined in his heart.

He knew he had lost miserably in this game. He had lost Lian Haolong's trust, and his future position in the gang was in jeopardy.

Zhao Gang was the only one left in the warehouse, immersed in disappointment and despair. The light cast a strange shadow on his frightened face, as if foreshadowing his future fate.

This battle of open and covert struggles is becoming increasingly complicated. Everyone is competing for power and interests, and the real winner is far from emerging.

Upon learning of Zhao Gang's detention, Huo Han immediately decided to rescue him. He carefully selected a group of capable men and prepared to carry out the rescue operation. He knew that this operation not only depended on Zhao Gang's life, but also on the prestige and reputation of the gang.

It was late at night and everyone was asleep. Black SUVs sped past in the moonlight, and in those cars sat the elite men personally selected by Huo Han.

Lian Haolong's cunning eyes flickered with excitement when he heard the news that Huo Han had personally dispatched him. He had already secretly arranged for someone to monitor Huo Han's movements, so that if there was any sign of trouble, they would be informed immediately.

"Now that Huo Han has taken action this time, should we..." asked one of Lian Haolong's men.

Lian Haolong leisurely picked up the teacup and said calmly, "There's a long way to go, let's wait and see."

At the door of the warehouse, the silence of the night was broken, and Huo Han and his men had arrived quietly.

"Be careful, don't make any noise." Huo Han ordered in a low voice with a firm look in his eyes.

Zhao Gang was locked in a dark room, his clothes disheveled and his face scarred. When he heard the noise outside, his eyes showed a hint of surprise.

The rescue operation went very smoothly. Huo Han, with his extraordinary wisdom and the bravery of his men, quickly rescued Zhao Gang.

Huo Han looked at Zhao Gang's miserable state and was filled with rage: "Who did this?"

Zhao Gang was silent for a moment and did not say Lian Haolong's name. He knew that Huo Han was extremely furious at the moment, and perhaps even Lian Haolong could not protect himself.

"It's someone from the negotiation side." Zhao Gang did not deny Huo Han's guess.

The rage in Huo Han's eyes grew even stronger: "I'm going to make them pay!"

That night, Huo Han led his men to destroy the other party's warehouse, and also publicized the other party's cooperation in assassination through various channels, completely destroying the other party's reputation.

At dawn, Lian Haolong received the news and his expression was very complicated.

"Huo Han is definitely not someone you can easily mess with," he muttered to himself, and thought of Zhao Gang again. He felt a little relieved that Zhao Gang hadn't revealed his name.

Lian Haolong's plan failed to materialize, leaving him feeling a mixture of disappointment and resentment. He had originally intended to use this opportunity to regroup his followers and prepare for victory in the battle for gang power.
