Hong Kong Movies: The Boss's Global Empire

Lian Haolong also stood up and said, "I will contact other sources of information to see if he has any contact with political and business leaders, or if he has any other external support."

Huo Han nodded, feeling a wave of relief. At least on this issue, they could reach a consensus. He emphasized again, "Remember, everyone, this operation must be thorough and clear. There must be no doubt about it. We can't let Li Yue get hold of anything to use against us."

The uncles nodded in understanding.

Huo Han looked at his watch and said, "It's getting late. Everyone, please go back if you have anything to do. I will notify you immediately if there is any further information."

People gradually stood up and left the meeting room. Huo Han saw off the last of his uncles, then closed the door and walked to the window, gazing out through the French windows at the busy streets and tall buildings. His heart was filled with conflict and anxiety, but also with a certain anticipation.

"Li Yue, what on earth are you trying to do?" Huo Han muttered to himself, then turned around and walked back to his seat, starting to study the pile of information about Li Yue again.

In Huo Han's private club, the dark wooden furniture and high-end leather sofas look very luxurious, and the ambient lighting is softly spread in every corner.

This was the place where Huo Han would meet with people to discuss very private matters. Under his instructions, the bodyguard informed Li Yue that there was an important matter to discuss.

Not long after, Li Yue, dressed in a neat black suit, slowly walked in. His expression looked somewhat solemn, perhaps because he sensed the importance of this meeting.

"Sit down." Huo Han pointed to the sofa and sat back in his seat.

"Huo Han, is there something wrong?" Li Yue asked expressionlessly after sitting down.

Huo Han picked up a document on the table, glanced at it, and then said, "Li Yue, you've been very busy lately. The main figures in the gang have all returned. What big move are you preparing?"

Li Yue smiled slightly, "Huo Han is too concerned. These are just routine management of the gang."

Huo Han looked at Li Yue deeply, as if he could see through his heart. "Daily management? You and I are both in the martial arts world, so let's not talk about that. Even the outside world has started to pay attention to your recent movements."

Li Yue put away his smile and said, "Huo Han, do you want to know what the gang and I are doing?"

Huo Han nodded. "Yes, if you have any plans, it's not a bad idea to tell us now. We can be prepared."

"Huo Han, even if I have any plans, that is my gang's business and has nothing to do with the outside world." There was a hint of firmness in Li Yue's words.

Huo Han shook his head and said, "You know, I supported you to become the gang leader because I was impressed by your ability and loyalty to the gang. However, if you have any ulterior motives now, then we may have to reconsider our relationship."

Li Yue was silent for a moment, and finally said: "Huo Han, I do have some things to deal with, but I promise it will not affect our relationship."

Huo Han glanced at him and said, "I hope so. Otherwise, you know what the consequences will be."

Their eyes met at this moment, testing each other and warning each other. Then, Li Yue stood up and said, "Huo Han, if there is nothing else, I will take my leave."

Huo Han also stood up and walked her to the door, then said coldly, "Remember, in the martial arts world, there is no such thing as a wall that is impenetrable. You'd better be careful."

Watching Li Yue's back disappear outside the door, Huo Han returned to his seat, took out his mobile phone and dialed Lian Haolong's number.

"Brother Lian, it's me, Huo Han. Um, I just met with Li Yue. It seems we need to keep a closer eye on him..."

Huo Han sat in a private room in the high-end club, his face gloomy. These days, he had his spies closely monitoring Li Yue's every move, but Li Yue acted extremely cautiously and left almost no evidence.

Just then, the phone rang. It was Lian Haolong.

"Huo Han, did you know that Li Yue has recently started to use his accumulated connections to obtain a lot of external assistance?"

"What?" Huo Han frowned, "Has he finally started to take action?"

"It seems so. All the major gangs are talking about it now. Some people are starting to feel dissatisfied, saying that you were the one who supported this and want you to be responsible for solving it."

Huo Han put down his phone, knowing that the situation had become so serious that he needed to personally step in and resolve it.

The next night, Huo Han, dressed in a black suit, came to an abandoned warehouse, where he had agreed to meet with other gang representatives.

"Huo Han, you're finally here." A middle-aged man came over. He was the boss of another major gang in East City, Zhao Tie, known as the "Madman".

"Zhao Tie, this matter seems to be really troublesome." Huo Han said in a deep voice.

Zhao Tie took a drag on his cigarette, threw the butt to the ground, and stomped it out with his foot. "That kid Li Yue really doesn't know his place. You have to take responsibility for solving this problem, otherwise don't blame us for taking action."

"I understand." Huo Han nodded, but his heart was filled with more questions about Li Yue. He used his accumulated connections to obtain external assistance, which must have a deeper purpose.

After leaving the warehouse, Huo Han returned directly to his private club. He called one of his men and asked, "Immediately check if Li Yue has had any unusual financial transactions recently, especially with outsiders."

"Yes, Huo Han." The person on the other end of the phone agreed.

After some investigation, Huo Han finally found some evidence. Li Yue had indeed received a large amount of capital inflow recently and had close contact with several unidentified people.

"It seems that I have to talk to him in person." A hint of determination flashed in Huo Han's eyes.

The next day, Huo Han invited Li Yue to his private club again.

". "Li Yue, I'll ask you one last time, what exactly do you want to do?" Huo Han asked bluntly.

Li Yue sat there, his expression still calm, "Huo Han, I said before, this is all my gang's business."

"Stop giving me the cold shoulder!" Huo Han interrupted him. "All the major gangs are watching you right now, and some are even threatening to take action. If you don't give me a clear answer, you know the consequences."

The two men locked eyes again, but this time (Wang's), they were filled with more seriousness and tension. Li Yue finally spoke, "Well, since Huo Han

Having said that, I'll tell you, I do have some big moves to prepare, but they won't affect you in any way."

Huo Han frowned, "This is absolutely true, can I trust it?"

"Huo Han, over the years, I have always regarded you as a friend and partner. You may not trust me, but I will never do anything to harm you." Li Yue said seriously.

Huo Han was silent for a moment, then finally said, "Okay, I'll trust you this time. But you'd better remember, if things go wrong, I'll be the first to stop you."

Li Yue nodded, "I understand."

The two men stood up and shook hands. However, Huo Han's doubts about Li Yue were not completely dispelled. He knew that in the coming days, he would need to observe and respond more carefully, just in case.

Huo Han found a humble teahouse and summoned representatives from various factions to try to defuse the impending situation. The teahouse's rustic furnishings, wooden tables and chairs, and dimmed lighting evoked a sense of history, a constant reminder that none of this was a joke.

Zhao Tie sat off to the side and said unhappily, "Huo Han, everyone's watching you right now. If you can't resolve this, I can't guarantee I'll be on your side."

Huo Han picked up the teacup, took a sip, then set it down and glanced around with a determined look. "First of all, I want to make it clear that Li Yue and I are only business partners and have not participated in any of his other activities. But I understand that as a guarantor, I have a responsibility to resolve this issue."

"So what can you do?" one representative asked impatiently.

"I've talked to Li Yue, and he's certainly taking some action, but I can't say for sure he'll cause trouble for us. As you know, his gang has only just recovered, so it's impossible for them to act so quickly."

Zhao Tie sneered, "That's easy for you to say, but we don't want to gamble."

Huo Han looked at Zhao Tie sharply. "Zhao Tie, we've been in this business for so many years, and you should know that I'm a man of my words. I promise that if Li Yue really makes a move against any gang, I will be the first to step forward and take full responsibility."

There was silence for a while, and finally Zhao Tie nodded: "Okay, I choose to believe you. But remember, if you break your promise, don't blame us for being rude."

The other representatives also nodded, obviously accepting Huo Han's assurance.

"I always keep my word and never go back on my word." Huo Han said calmly, picking up the teacup again, as if he was toasting himself.

After the meeting, Huo Han sat alone in a teahouse, pondering his next course of action. He knew he might be stepping into a bigger vortex this time, but he also understood that every word he spoke was a promise, a responsibility.

He took out his cell phone and called his men, "Keep keeping a close eye on Li Yue. I want to know every move he makes."

"Yes, Huo Han." The person on the other end of the phone immediately agreed.

Huo Han stood outside a dilapidated warehouse, surveyed his surroundings, then pushed open the heavy iron door and walked in. The lighting inside the warehouse was dim, but it was enough for him to see that Lian Haolong was already waiting for him inside.

Lian Haolong stood in front of a table with some maps and documents on it. "Huo Han, you've come just in time. I have something to discuss with you."

Huo Han walked to the table and sat down. "Tell me, what's making you so worried?"

Lian Haolong glanced at the maps and documents on the desk, then looked up at Huo Han. "Do you think we need to make sacrifices in exchange for information?"

Huo Han frowned and pondered for a moment. "You mean, using our own family members as pawns to lure the snake out of its hole? I don't think it has reached that level yet."
