Hong Kong Movies: The Boss's Global Empire

"So-called justice is nothing more than a price tag." Li Yue said softly, looking at the mobile phone in his hand, which showed a notification of a successful bank transfer.

At the police station, the chief addressed several high-ranking officers, saying, "Remember, externally, we must uphold the dignity of the law. Internally... hey, everyone understands. Just issue a notice criticizing Li Yue and his gang, and turn a blind eye to everything else."

A police officer pulled out his phone and began drafting an official announcement. Soon, major media outlets began reporting that the police would take "all necessary measures" to maintain public order against Li Yue's gang, but in reality, no substantive action was taken.

Huo Han sat in his luxurious club, looking at the news headlines flashing on the TV screen, and couldn't help but sneer.

"I've seen a lot of police dramas like this. Li Yue is indeed a capable person." He said to Lian Haolong beside him.

Lian Haolong nodded. "So, it seems the police won't be a problem. So, can we start the operation?"

"No, it's still early. Let Li Yue jump first. When he gets tired, we can clean up the mess."

Li Yue gathered his core members in his office.

"The police situation has been resolved. They will provide us with appropriate support at this critical moment. Next, we will increase the pressure on other gangs. I want to let them know who the new king of this city is!"

One of his men asked, "Boss, what about Huo Han? His attitude right now is so unpredictable."

"Huo Han, well, he's a tough opponent. But don't forget, he's not invincible either. When the time is right, I'll have a way to deal with him."

In the city's vibrant lights, neon lights illuminate every inch of land, but cannot penetrate the complex intertwined hearts of the people. Police, gangs, power, and money play their respective roles on this stage.

Under the yellow streetlights, a row of motorcycles and some heavy vehicles lined the road. This was a turf war between different gangs. Thanks to the police's recent notice, each gang felt they had found hope and decided to launch a final counterattack against Li Yue's gang.

"Tonight is a good opportunity to solve the problem. The police are here, so they dare not go too far." The leader of the Yellow Snake Gang, Apeng, said to his men.

"Don't forget Huo Han. He might show up suddenly at any time." Aaron, the leader of another gang reminded.

"Huo Han? He doesn't even fart, don't count on him." Apeng sneered.

At this moment, a black SUV suddenly drove into the battlefield, and the window rolled down, revealing Li Yue's right-hand man - Xiaodao.

"Everyone, long time no see. How are you going to die tonight?" As soon as Xiaodao finished speaking, Apeng threw a bottle at him fiercely.

"Come on! Let them see our strength!" Aaron shouted.

A fierce gunfight broke out between the two sides in the street. Bullets flew as densely as rain, and the flashing of swords and sabers were mixed with people's angry and crazy roars.

Suddenly, the lights and sirens of police cars filled the night sky, and a team of police cars approached quickly.

"Haha, they're finally here. Let's see how they die!" Apeng said happily.

However, to everyone's surprise, the police car did not stop to arrest Li Yue's men, but instead rushed straight towards A Long and A Peng's gang.

"What's going on? This is impossible!" Aaron showed an expression of disbelief.

"Stop right there! You are all under arrest!" the police captain shouted.

Members of Apeng and Along were handcuffed and thrown into a police car, while Li Yue's gang left the scene as if nothing had happened.

"What's going on? Why would the police behave like this?" Apeng asked angrily.

The captain smiled and said, "Everyone is equal before the law. However, some people are more equal than others."

Li Yue was sitting in his office when he received a call from Xiao Dao.

"Boss, everything went well. All those gang members were arrested by the police."

"Very good, now they should know who is the true king of this city."

Huo Han saw all this and knew he couldn't sit still any longer. He picked up the phone and dialed a number.

“It’s time to take action.”

Huo Han sat at a dark wooden desk, clutching a copy of the day's newspaper. The headline read in large letters: "Gang Fight, Multiple Arrests." But he was displeased that Li Yue's gang's name didn't appear in the report.

There were two gentle knocks on the door, and then it slowly opened. Two middle-aged men, his uncles, walked in. Their faces were filled with tension and worry.

"Huo Han, you know what happened recently. The police have arrested a lot of people, but Li Yue seems to be doing fine. In this situation, shouldn't we be prepared?" asked Huo Han's uncle, Huo Zhigang.

Huo Han put down the newspaper, looked at the two of them, and then said calmly, "Are you worried that they will attack us next?"

"Yes, the situation is complicated now. Li Yue is becoming more and more arrogant, and the police are turning a blind eye. We can't wait any longer." Huo's second uncle, Huo Zhihao added.

Huo Han stood up, walked to the window, and looked down at the city full of uncertainty.

"Uncle, Second Uncle, I understand your concerns. But this is a good opportunity for us to take action. By attacking other gangs, they've naturally strengthened their own strength, but they've also exposed themselves. Even if the police don't take action against them, public opinion will create pressure."

The two uncles breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. Huo Zhigang asked, "So what are your plans?"

Huo Han returned to his seat, took out a small map and spread it out on the table.

"I have already arranged for people to be deployed in various key locations. Just wait for my call to put them in trouble."

"You mean, we should take the initiative?" Huo Zhihao frowned.

"To be precise, we must strike first and teach them a lesson, so that they know the price of challenging us." A slight smile appeared on Huo Han's lips.

"Uncle, Second Uncle, I actually foresaw this day coming. A few months ago, I contacted some key figures in the police department and paid a considerable sum of 'security fees'. At least in the short term, they won't take action against us."

After hearing this, the worry on the two uncles' faces finally eased a little.

(Got it)

Huo Zhigang nodded and said, "Hearing you say that, I'm finally relieved. But what about those other gangs? They're all in trouble now. If we don't lend a hand, I'm afraid they'll resent us."

Huo Han sneered: "I have already made conditions for them. If they are willing to hand over half of their funds and weapons, I will naturally take action. But they would rather fight Li Yue than accept it. In this case, let them fend for themselves."
