Hong Kong Movies: The Boss's Global Empire

Huo Han turned and walked out, took out his cell phone and dialed a number.

It was me who spread the word that Tamron was dead.” He was silent for a moment, then continued, “Yes, as we expected, the situation will become more complicated.”

He hung up the phone, took a deep breath, and walked back into Lian Haolong's office.

This city, this world of intrigue and bloodshed, is like a giant chessboard, where every piece holds irreplaceable value and significance. And now, this complex game has just begun.

Lian Haolong glanced at Huo Han who had re-entered and smiled slightly. What should we do next?

Huo Han did not answer directly, but his eyes expressed everything: next, there will be more drama, more variables, and more choices between life and death.

In this city where power struggles and interests are intertwined, everything is unknown, and everything is possible. This game is far from truly over.

Lian Haolong sat in a spacious leather chair in his office, his gaze blazing. Before him lay a metal box containing Tenglong's remains. Several gang leaders stood beside him, and the atmosphere was unusually heavy, yet also tinged with a sense of relief.

"Confirm it." Lian Haolong ordered softly.

A doctor came over, opened the lid of the metal box, examined it for a few seconds, and nodded.

"He's gone," the doctor said affirmatively.

Lian Haolong nodded with satisfaction, then took out a checkbook and quickly filled out several checks.

"You did a good job, this is what you deserve." He handed the checks to the leaders of the various gangs.

The uncles' hearts finally settled. Tenglong held too many of their secrets, secrets that could ruin their reputations, even cost them their lives. Now that this variable had been eliminated, they could rest easy for a while.

"Thank you, Brother Lian!" said one of the leaders holding the check.

"It's nothing, this is what you deserve." Lian Haolong said lightly, as if all this was within his calculations.

The gang leaders gladly accepted the checks, looked at each other, and clearly felt a sense of relief.

But Huo Han who was present was not so relaxed. He stood aside with a cold look in his eyes, as if he was thinking about something more far-reaching.

"Okay, it's over. Go back home and find your own mothers." Lian Haolong waved his hand, signaling them to leave.

The uncles left happily, but before leaving, Huo Han walked up to Lian Haolong.

"Do you think this is the end?" Huo Han asked.

…0

Lian Haolong glanced at him and smiled slightly, "This is just the beginning."

Huo Han did not respond and turned away.

After the door closed, Lian Haolong suddenly felt something was wrong. He looked at the phone on the table and thought that this matter couldn't be so simple.

Suddenly, the phone rang and Lian Haolong picked up the receiver.

"Hey."

A voice came from the other end of the phone, sounding a little anxious.

.………0

"Brother Lian, it's bad. The police seem to be taking action. They..."

There was a sudden burst of chaotic noise from the other end of the line, and then the phone was hung up.

Lian Haolong frowned, knowing full well that this game had only just begun and that he needed to be more fully prepared. After all, although Tenglong was dead, the power behind him hadn't vanished, and the police wouldn't let them go.

"Prepare the car." Lian Haolong picked up the walkie-talkie on the table and said.

He knew that the next war would be a more complicated and dangerous one, and he had to be fully prepared.

Huo Han stood in front of the window, looking at the night sky outside, and knew in his heart that all this was just the calm before the storm.

In this complex world, there are no permanent enemies or permanent friends, only permanent interests.

Huo Han sat in a luxurious private club, the ornate chandelier emitting a soft glow that cast a shadow on his stern face. This was his territory, his own little universe. In this private room, besides him, there were several of his trusted assistants, as well as Li Yue.

"Huo Han, these are the assets and firearms you want." Li Yue pushed a briefcase full of cash and documents in front of Huo Han, as well as a miniature flash drive containing all the relevant digital assets.

"Three, six, three." Huo Han opened the briefcase, flipped through it briefly, and then signaled one of his assistants with his eyes to take it for further inspection.

"Now it's your turn to fulfill your promise." Li Yue said calmly.

Huo Han nodded, took out his cell phone, and sent pre-prepared text messages to several saved numbers.

"Done. I've already notified all the gangs. There will be a big party tomorrow night at my club."

Li Yue smiled slightly, seeming to be very satisfied with Huo Han's efficiency. "It seems that our cooperation will be very pleasant."

Huo Han also smiled, but there was not much warmth in that smile. "As long as the interests are aligned, happiness or unhappiness is secondary."

The next night, Huo Han's club was brightly lit, and the spacious hall was decorated as luxuriously as a palace.

People from various gangs have been coming in one after another. They are wearing suits and ties. They seem polite on the surface, but the ferocity in their eyes cannot be concealed.

Huo Han stood on the stage, scanning the crowd with a cold gaze before speaking: "Gentlemen, thank you all for coming to this gathering. Tonight, I have a few things you need to know."

He pressed the remote control in his hand, and some photos and documents immediately appeared on the large screen behind him.

"First, Tamron is dead. He held a great deal of information and secrets concerning you, and now, they have been passed on to me. But unlike Tamron, I am not here to threaten you. I seek to cooperate with you."

A slight commotion came from the crowd. It was obvious that they were a little uneasy about Tenglong's death and the information Huo Han had.

"Secondly," Huo Han continued, "here is a cooperation agreement that details the possible content of future cooperation between you and me, as well as some basic rules." His assistants began to distribute documents among the crowd.

"If everyone feels there is no problem, I hope we can start working more closely together starting tomorrow."

Huo Han took one last look at Li Yue in the audience. The moment their eyes met, they both understood what the other was thinking...

Huo Han walked off the stage and put his arm around Li Yue's shoulder.

"It seems that a new situation is about to begin." Li Yue said.

"Yes, a new situation." Huo Han repeated.

The two of them smiled in tacit understanding, but there was an imperceptible tension and vigilance in their smiles, because they both knew that in this complicated game, anything could happen, and the only constant was change itself.

The atmosphere in Huo Han's club was tense and solemn. The ornate chandeliers, luxurious decorations, and elegant music formed a stark contrast. The gang members wore suits and ties, their faces smiling, but their eyes were tense.

Huo Han stepped into the clubhouse, accompanied by Lian Haolong and Li Yue. As the three entered, all eyes were focused on them, especially Li Yue, who seemed to be completely visible.

"Gentlemen, good evening." Huo Han walked straight to the front of the stage and picked up the microphone.

"Thank you all for upholding the code of conduct and for joining us at this gathering at this time. Our success in dealing with Tenglong is also thanks to your support and cooperation. But now, we face a new situation."

Huo Han paused to make sure everyone was listening attentively to him.

"The purpose of this gathering is very clear. We want to establish a new partnership. Tamron is gone, and we need to ensure order and stability in this world. I believe that only by joining forces can we withstand external pressure and challenges."

As Huo Han finished speaking, his right-hand men began distributing a thick folder to everyone present. The folder detailed all the terms and conditions of their future cooperation.

"It contains the terms of cooperation that Li Yue and I have agreed upon, including the distribution of assets, the division of territory, and possible future joint operations. I believe that you are all shrewd businessmen and outstanding people in the underworld, and you can see the benefits of this."

Huo Han turned to glance at Lian Haolong and Li Yue beside him. Lian Haolong nodded slightly, seeming very satisfied with Huo Han's performance. Li Yue, on the other hand, looked calm, as if everything was under control.

"If everyone is okay with this, I suggest we celebrate this occasion with a glass of wine, as a sign of our closer partnership in the future."

Huo Han raised the wine glass in his hand and looked at everyone present solemnly and sincerely.

There was silence in the hall, and then, as if by appointment, everyone raised their glasses.

"Cheers!" Huo Han shouted.

"Cheers!" everyone responded in unison.

The sound of wine glasses clinking echoed throughout the hall, like the beginning of new cooperation and alliance, and also like the prelude to a new situation.

In the gorgeous club hall, Huo Han picked up the microphone again, ready to announce the most important agenda of the party.

"Everyone, I know this may be a little sudden, but I think it's time for a strong figure to solidify our alliance." He glanced at everyone present, "That person is Li Yue."

As soon as Huo Han's words left his mouth, the entire hall erupted in excitement. The gang leaders present began to discuss the situation. Although Huo Han and Lian Haolong were admired by everyone, Li Yue was still an unknown quantity to them.

"Wait a minute, Boss Huo, what do you mean? Who is Li Yue?" A middle-aged man in a black suit, obviously the leader of a gang, stood up and questioned.

"You may not know this, but without Li Yue's help, we would not have been able to deal with Tenglong so smoothly. He not only provided funds but also weapons." Huo Han said seriously.

"So, he is our hero?" Another gang leader raised his eyebrows.

"Yes, that's why I propose that he become a member of the new gang leader alliance."

The discussion started again, and many people looked dissatisfied. Li Yue stood there, his face expressionless, as if all this had nothing to do with him.

"Boss Huo, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but who can accept an outsider suddenly sitting in such a big seat?" The man in the black suit spoke again.

"I understand your concerns, but Li Yue has proven his ability and loyalty. Moreover, the new situation requires new energy and strategy, and he is the most suitable candidate."

"Boss Huo, ability and loyalty are one thing, understanding and trust are another. We don't even know this guy, so how could we possibly let him directly control such an important position?" Another gang leader joined in the questioning.
