Chapter 493: Uncle Huo Tieshan, you lead the East Wing to besiege Tenglong's Treasury

The wind howled, and the sweeping snow and blizzard nearly obscured the road ahead. Huo Han and Lian Haolong sat in a secluded teahouse, the paper windowpanes crackling in the wind and snow. Sitting opposite each other, the only sounds were the boiling water and the wind outside.

"Tenglong should know what secret they have by now." Huo Han poured a cup of hot tea, his eyes sharp. "And this secret must be the reason for their escape."

Lian Haolong, the "507th" officer, sighed and smoothed his hair. "Indeed, their biggest concern right now is probably how to save their lives. But the secrets they hold are ones we can use."

Huo Han frowned, clearly puzzled. "Why would we help them escape overseas?"

Lian Haolong slowly shook his head, "The secrets they hold are enough for Tenglong to hunt them to the ends of the earth.

But Tenglong is now in a dilemma. He can't take action directly, otherwise the secret will be leaked. But if he lets them go, he is afraid that other gangs will attack him again.

Huo Han took a deep breath, a glint of light flashed in his eyes: "So what do you think we should do now?"

Lian Haolong looked at the snow outside the window and said solemnly, "I think it's a good thing that they escaped.

At least, Tenglong has no intention of causing trouble for us now. Furthermore, the overall situation in the underworld has already taken shape, with all the major gangs joining forces to deal with Tenglong. Their fate is sealed."

Huo Han was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "What about these secrets? How should we use them?"

Lian Haolong pondered for a moment and said, "Secrets are always double-edged swords. We can use them against Tenglong, but they could also be used against us. The most important thing now is to ensure our safety."

Huo Han nodded. "You mean, let Tenglong fight those gangs first, and then we'll see if there's an opportunity?"

Lian Haolong smiled and said, "That's right. What we need most now is time and opportunity."

The two continued chatting for a while, then left. When Huo Han walked out of the teahouse, the wind and snow had died down a lot, but his heart was more determined.

He knew that the conflict between the Tenglong Gang and those gangs was only a matter of time, and what he and Lian Haolong had to do was to wait for that opportunity and then break the Tenglong situation in one fell swoop.

The snow stopped. In front of the teahouse, a child in a heavy leather coat was clearing the snow for the customers... Huo Han sat in front of the window, his eyes never blinking.

He stared at the child, as if there was something about the child that attracted him.

Lian Haolong walked over, glanced at the child, then looked at Huo Han, chuckled and said, "Are you worried about something?"

Huo Han sighed lightly and shook his head: "I'm just wondering if we should really take action against Tenglong now."

Lian Haolong sat down across from Huo Han, sipped his tea, and said, "What are you worried about? If we don't act now, when will we?" Huo Han hesitated for a moment, then said, "I'm not worried that we can't defeat Tenglong, I'm just worried..."

Lian Haolong smiled 5.7: "You're worried that we might be used by other gangs and then betrayed at the most critical moment, right?"

Huo Han nodded. "In this world, there are no permanent friends, only permanent interests. I'm just worried that after we defeat Tenglong, we'll be treated hostilely by other gangs."

Lian Haolong took a deep breath and said, "Huo Han, do you know why I always reassure you?" Huo Han shook his head.

Lian Haolong smiled and said, "Because I already know the location of Tenglong's arsenal and treasury. These two places are Tenglong's lifeline. As long as we strike first, no matter how powerful Tenglong is, it will not be able to resist."

A hint of surprise flashed in Huo Han's eyes: "You knew this a long time ago?"

Lian Haolong nodded: "Yes, I have already mastered this information, but I just haven't found the right time to take action."

Huo Han was silent for a moment, then said, "Shouldn't we strike first and break Tenglong's situation in one fell swoop?"

Lian Haolong smiled slightly: "Yes, we should focus our main efforts on Tenglong instead of worrying about those small gangs."

Huo Han took a deep breath and said, "Okay, let's do this. But..."

Lian Haolong interrupted him, "I know what you're going to say. But don't worry, as long as we break Tenglong's overall situation, the other small gangs won't dare to attack us easily."

Huo Han nodded, and then the two of them left the teahouse side by side and walked forward.

The Huo Family Manor, shrouded in darkness, seemed tranquil and mysterious. The long corridors were brightly lit, and in the magnificent hall, the uncles had gathered, their deep voices drifting in waves on the wind.

Huo Han and Lian Haolong took a deep breath and walked into the once-prominent family meeting room.

Old Madam Huo, the leader of the Huo family, sat in the main seat, her gray beard and deep gaze exuding authority. On either side of him sat several of the Huo family's uncles, the pillars of the Huo family and entitled to participate in major family decisions.

Huo Han took a deep breath and knelt before Old Madam Huo: "Old Madam, Han'er has something important to report."

Old Madam Huo nodded slightly, motioning for him to continue.

Huo Han cleared his throat and told Lian Haolong and Tenglong in detail the location of their arsenal and treasury, as well as the current situation.

Upon hearing this, the Huo family's uncles and aunts all looked solemn and discussed the matter. Some believed that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and that they should act immediately; while others believed that this move was too reckless and that if it failed, the family would be plunged into endless difficulties.

Lian Haolong stepped forward, bowed, and said, "Seniors, Tenglong's arrogance and domineering behavior has threatened the Huo family's safety more than once. If we don't take action, I'm afraid the Huo family will pay a more painful price in the future."

Old Lady Huo pondered for a moment, then spoke, "Young Master Lian is right, but we can't act rashly. You know, the power behind Tenglong is not to be underestimated."

Huo Han knelt again. "Old Madam, I will never let the family suffer because of my decision. Please grant me your permission to slay Tenglong for the family and ensure their safety."

Several uncles of the Huo family looked at Old Lady Huo, waiting for his decision.

Old Lady Huo looked at Huo Han deeply, with a complex emotion in her eyes: "Han'er, I know you are worried about the family, but you must understand that if this move fails,

Failure is not just about you, but about the entire Huo family."

Huo Han lowered his head: "Han'er understands."

Old Lady Huo was silent for a moment, then glanced at Lian Haolong before finally making a decision: "I approve this matter. But you must proceed with caution and avoid any mistakes." Huo Han knelt excitedly, "Thank you, Old Lady. I will definitely live up to your trust."

It was late at night, but the lights in the meeting room of the Huo family estate were still brightly lit. Huo Han stood in the center, facing his uncles. A small wooden box was placed on a golden tablecloth. Inside were red and green wooden signs, representing approval and disapproval.

Huo Han took a deep breath. "My dear uncles, I have already explained the plan in detail. I know this is a very risky matter and may cost our family a great deal, so I hope everyone can vote fairly and decide this matter."

Huo Changfeng, the elder of the Huo family, slowly stood up and said, "I think Tenglong is now extremely arrogant. If we don't give him a hard time, our Huo family will probably lose more.

But the treasury issue is indeed very sensitive, and the police are likely to intervene, so we must consider this carefully."

Huo Tieshan, another authority figure in the Huo family, also stood up. "I'm worried not only about the police, but also about those politicians and businessmen who have interests in Tenglong. They will also try to stop us. However, I believe in our strength."

Huo Qingsong sighed deeply. "We can attack the arsenal, but the treasury is indeed a bit risky. However, if it is for the future of the family, I am willing to support it."

Huo Han bowed and said, "Thank you all uncles for your suggestions. Now, please vote."

The atmosphere in the meeting room was oppressive. Uncles and uncles took their wooden plaques from small wooden boxes on the table and dropped them into a large copper box. Soon, everyone had cast their votes.

Huo Han slowly opened the copper box and counted the votes. After a moment, Huo Han looked up at everyone present: "Seven votes in favor, three against."

Several uncles of the Huo family looked at Huo Han nervously, waiting for him to announce the result.

Huo Han took a deep breath. "Then, according to family rules, with a majority vote in favor, we will proceed as planned. But please, uncles and aunts, pray for the family." The Huo family's uncles nodded in agreement, expressing their resolve and support. In the Huo family, once a decision is made, no matter the outcome, they will go all out.

Huo Han looked at Lian Haolong: "Now, it's up to us."

Lian Haolong nodded: "I will help you analyze the best strategy for action. For the Huo family, we must succeed."

The night was quiet, but the Huo family estate was still bustling with activity. Tents, supplies, and weapons were all rapidly deployed according to the established plan in preparation for the upcoming operation.

Huo Han, wearing a dark blue battle robe and holding a long sword, stood in the center of the manor with a sharp gaze, commanding various departments.

"Uncle Huo Changfeng, you lead the troops on the west wing and are responsible for the raid on the arsenal. Remember, we want a quick victory and to occupy the arsenal." Huo Han said seriously.

Huo Changfeng nodded. He was the Huo family's god of war, having experienced countless life-and-death battles. His presence meant that the success rate of this operation would be greatly increased. "Don't worry, I will do it."

"Uncle Tieshan, you lead the east wing and lay siege to Tenglong's treasury. We must ensure that as much gold and silver as possible falls into our hands." Huo Han instructed.

Huo Tieshan, the Huo family's chief strategist, was calm and decisive. He said, "Tenglong's treasury has multiple lines of defense, but if we capture the arsenal, their attention will be diverted. I will then have a solution."

Lian Haolong walked over to Huo Han and said, "I will bring the team as support. Whether it's the armory or the treasury, I will rush over immediately if you need me."

Huo Han looked at Lian Haolong and said gratefully, "Thanks to you, this operation has a chance of success."
