Hong Kong Movies: The Boss's Global Empire

"I heard it's hidden in a villa warehouse in the southeastern suburbs, but I'm not sure of the exact location." The woman said apologetically, her eyes rolling.

"Thank you very much, beautiful lady, for your help. You have saved countless lives." Huo Han put his palms together in greeting.

After obtaining this important clue, the two immediately set out to search the southeast suburbs.

After a night of investigation, they finally found several wooden boxes marked "Peanut Candy" in a hidden warehouse.

"This is the plague powder!" Huo Han's eyes lit up.

"They must be destroyed and not released into the market!"

"I'm going to try to detonate this place right now and turn it into ashes!"

The two men quickly arranged the gunpowder and set off several fuses around the warehouse.

"Back off!"

The gunpowder ignited, and with a loud bang, the entire warehouse was blown to pieces, with flames shooting into the sky.

The plague powder in the wooden box was also turned into ashes in the fire.

"It's great that City E has avoided a catastrophe." Ye Xiaoyan said with relief.

"Yes, we stopped the conspiracy in time." Huo Han nodded.

Just as the two were about to leave, a hurried shout suddenly came from a distance: "Who are you? You set fire to my warehouse, I want you to pay with your lives~"! The two were shocked, it turned out that there were guards in the warehouse.

The other party will arrive soon and they must evacuate quickly.

"Let's go!" Huo Han took Ye Xiaoyan's hand, and the two of them ran out of the warehouse like two gusts of wind.

"Chase!" The warehouse guard and several others gave chase.

"Run separately!" Huo Han shouted to Ye Xiaoyan.

The two quickly fled in separate directions.

Several gangsters continued to chase Huo Han and gradually approached.

At the critical moment, Huo Han suddenly turned around and hit the leading gangster in the face with his right fist like a cannonball.

The man fell to the ground and rolled away!

Seeing this, the other criminals dared not approach any further and could only watch Huo Han escape quickly.

"Brother Han, we successfully got rid of them!" Ye Xiaoyan came back from another path and reunited with Huo Han.

"That's great. E City has returned to peace. It's time for us to leave here and continue wandering." A trace of reluctance flashed in Huo Han's eyes.

The next morning, the two came to the outskirts of the city and looked out at the city where they grew up.

"This place carries too many memories for us, and we don't want to leave." Ye Xiaoyan said softly.

"But there are still too many sufferings in the world that need us to save them. After many years, we will come back." Huo Han held her hand tightly.

The two walked slowly on a small road in the suburbs. The vast sky and earth stretched endlessly, and their journey in the martial arts world was long and arduous.

Along the way, the two talked about the past.

"Do you remember the back street we used to go to when we were kids?" Ye Xiaoyan blinked her bright eyes.

"There are small shops on both sides of the back street. There's Old Liu's who sells spicy hot pot, the plump lady who sells candied haws, and Old Wang's who sells your favorite braised pork rice. We often buy two big candied haws for dessert after eating the braised pork rice at Old Wang's."

Huo Han smiled slightly and nodded. "Remember, that back street is not far behind our old house. The braised pork rice at Old Wang's is really delicious. The marinade is very fragrant, and the fat and lean meat are well matched. Every time I finish eating it, I burp twice!"

"Another time, you accidentally dropped a whole bag of candied haws on the ground. When the two of us were squatting in the back street to pick them up, we were seen by the chubby aunt. The aunt didn't blame us, but gave each of us a big candied haws." Ye Xiaoyan squinted her eyes and recalled.

A nostalgic smile appeared on Huo Han's lips, and his heart was filled with memories of the past.

The two chatted as they came to the largest park in E City.

There is a clear lake deep in the woods, and a small wooden pavilion beside the lake.

"We used to date here a lot when we were in middle school, do you remember?" Ye Xiaoyan smiled faintly and pulled Huo Han to the wooden pavilion.

Huo Han nodded, reached out and gently stroked the railing of the wooden pavilion. The scene of him and Ye Xiaoyan walking and chatting in front of this wooden pavilion emerged in his mind.

"We were innocent and full of dreams for the future back then." A gleam flashed in Huo Han's eyes.

"We have gone through so many trials and tribulations together, and have seen all the joys and sorrows of the world."

Ye Xiaoyan leaned lightly on Huo Han's shoulder, and the two of them stood quietly by the lake, feeling the passage of time.

683 In the evening, Huo Han and Ye Xiaoyan returned to E City and strolled through the familiar streets and alleys. Everything was exactly the same as they remembered.

"I remember this bun shop. The boss makes very delicious buns and there is a long queue every day." Ye Xiaoyan said, pointing to a small bun shop.

"The knife-cut noodles in that noodle shop are also very authentic. Every bowl of noodles is sprinkled with lots of chopped green onions and chilies." Huo Han also pointed to a noodle shop not far away and said to Ye Xiaoyan.

The two of them talked as they walked, and the topics ranged from snacks to tourist attractions, from campus to teachers, from childhood to youth... Every corner of this city evoked endless memories for them.

When they walked through a street garden, Ye Xiaoyan suddenly stopped and looked in the distance in one direction.

"What are you looking at?" Huo Han asked softly.

"There is a building over there. It was the teaching building when I was in high school." Ye Xiaoyan's eyes lit up.

"Every time after school, I always expect you to wait for me outside the school gate, and then we can go out for dinner and shopping together..."

Huo Han also turned to look at the teaching building, Building-3, he still remembered this number.

"Those were truly our carefree and wonderful times." Huo Han sighed softly.

Ye Xiaoyan nodded, took Huo Han's hand and continued walking forward.

After turning an intersection, the two came to a bustling night market.

The cries of vendors, the aroma of food and the bustling crowds make this night market brightly lit.

"We often come to this night market, right?" Ye Xiaoyan said happily.

"Looking at all these snacks makes me hungry. Let's go buy some midnight snacks."

"Okay." Huo Han couldn't help but smile when he saw Ye Xiaoyan's excited expression.

The two bought barbecue, freshly squeezed juice and various snacks, found a chair to sit down and enjoy the meal.

The bustling night market reminded the two of the days when they used to eat supper and chat here.

After having supper, the two of them strolled in the night market.

Huo Han suddenly saw a small stall selling figurines and walked over to pick out one of Ye Xiaoyan's favorite cartoon characters for her. "Isn't this the bunny spirit you loved as a child? It looks exactly the same as before." Huo Han handed the figurine to Ye Xiaoyan.

"Yes! It's so interesting!" Ye Xiaoyan happily hugged the figurine with a sweet smile on her face.

On this day, the two wandered in this familiar yet unfamiliar city, and many past events were awakened in their minds.

Although the city is no longer the same as in memory, the bond between the two people remains as strong as ever.

"It's getting dark again." Ye Xiaoyan said as he looked at the setting sun.

"Then let's find a place to rest. We are tired after a long day." Huo Han suggested.

The two came to an inn called "Xie Ju", and Huo Han asked the owner to order two rooms in the inner part.

"Please go upstairs and have a rest. I'll ask the kitchen to prepare some hot tea and snacks for you," said the boss attentively.

"Thank you." Huo Han nodded slightly.

The two of them came to the room on the second floor. The room was neatly decorated with a soft bed, a table and two chairs.

"We haven't stayed in such a simple inn for a long time." Ye Xiaoyan sat down on the chair and said gently.

"Yes, this reminds me of when we first set out into the martial arts world, we also stayed in many such simple inns." A smile appeared on Huo Han's face.

The two sat quietly, letting their thoughts drift back to the time when they were just starting out in the martial arts world.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of fighting outside the door, mixed with the sound of bones breaking.

Huo Han and Ye Xiaoyan looked at each other, then pushed the door open and walked out without saying a word.

There were five or six vicious-looking thugs standing in the corridor, and three or four unlucky people lying around covered in blood.

Huo Han frowned, clenched his fists, and asked in a cold voice, "Who are you? How dare you hurt innocent people here?"

The leading thug looked Huo Han and Ye Xiaoyan up and down, sneered, and said, "Those in the underworld don't know their place. Today, I'll show you how powerful our Seven Star Gang is!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the other five people quickly surrounded him.

The two stood back to back, splitting up to deal with the siege of six people.

A gangster with scars all over his face rushed towards Ye Xiaoyan first, hitting her with the steel pipe in his hand.

Ye Xiaoyan dodged sideways and drew the long sword from his waist. The sword edge drew a silver light and scratched the gangster's arm.

"Ah!" The gangster howled, covering his bloody arm and glaring at Ye Xiaoyan with hatred.

Another burly man seized the opportunity and attacked Ye Xiaoyan from behind, hitting her on the back of the head with a heavy punch.

Ye Xiaoyan was keenly aware of the sound of the wind, and dodged the heavy punch by bending down and rolling.

"Is this all you can do?" Ye Xiaoyan snorted coldly, raised his hand and swung his sword. The Dragon Roar Sword flashed with a cold light and went straight for the big man's wrist.

"You!" Seeing that he couldn't avoid it, the big man suddenly took out a black iron ball from his arms and threw it at Ye Xiaoyan.

Ye Xiaoyan leaped up and did a beautiful flip in mid-air, easily avoiding the sudden attack of the hidden weapon.

"Good skills!" The big man's face changed slightly.

At the same time, Huo Han was also dealing with the siege from three other people.

A gangster with a long knife waved the shining blade and circled around Huo Han, stabbing Huo Han's vital points from time to time.

Huo Han's eyes were calm and he stood firmly in place.

Just as the long knife was about to stab again, he suddenly grabbed the blade with his right hand and stopped it an inch away from his chest.

"W-what?" Changdao was shocked and tried to pull back the blade but it didn't move at all.

"Go to hell!" Huo Han's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and his left fist hit Chang Dao's lower abdomen like a cannonball.

“0…

There was only a dull thud, and the long sword flew out ten meters with stars in its eyes, and fell heavily to the ground.

"You useless piece of shit, let me do it!" A burly man with patterned makeup on his face struck an exaggerated pose, lunging at Huo Han with a snarky grin. Huo Han glanced at him disdainfully and said coldly, "You're just trying to catch a mouse, and you think you're worthy enough to fight me?"

The big man's face changed, he shouted loudly, and punched Huo Han with his right fist.

Huo Han moved to the side, and the big man's fist only hit a shadow.

"Too slow!" Huo Han snorted, locked the big man's elbow with his left hand, and twisted it violently.

With a "click" sound, the big man's arm was dislocated. He screamed in pain and fell to the ground.

"Asshole, you actually broke my hand!" The big man covered his dislocated arm and glared at Huo Han fiercely, his venomous eyes filled with hatred. The other melon-haired gangster tried to launch a sneak attack, but Huo Han was quick to detect it.

A back elbow hit his chin and the melon-headed guy fell to the ground.

"With your level, are you qualified to fight with me?" Huo Han sneered.

"You don't know your own limitations!"

The leader of the gang had a grim expression on his face. He knew that with just these few men, they were no match for Huo Han.
