Chapter 452 Huo Han felt some regret
He glanced at Lian Haolong, his eyes revealing an indescribable complexity. He spoke slowly, "I must find this man. Otherwise, all our plans could be ruined by him. And, you know, if he wants to use me, it could be a threat to all of us."
Lian Haolong was silent for a moment, took a deep breath, and nodded: "I understand. I will fully cooperate with you."
He continued, "I know I've made mistakes before and I've paid the price for them. But I want to tell you that I don't want to put you in danger. I will do everything I can to help you find this person."
Huo Han looked at him, was silent for a moment, then nodded slightly: "That's good. We must find him as soon as possible, just in case."
The two men fell silent again, a tense and solemn atmosphere hanging in the air. They both knew that the days ahead would likely be filled with challenges and dangers. They must remain vigilant to avoid being exploited by the hidden enemy.
Huo Han and Lian Haolong's decision was like an anchor sinking deep into the ocean floor, calming the turbulent waves. They decided to join forces to find this man hiding in the shadows and bring him out into the light of day. Huo Han initially had his doubts, but seeing Lian Haolong's determination and confidence, he finally agreed.
That evening, the two men appeared at a dinner party as usual, dining with many gang members. They laughed and chatted as if nothing had happened. The harmonious atmosphere left everyone around them feeling indescribably surprised.
However, when everyone's curious eyes turned to Huo Han, he smiled slightly, stood up, and announced calmly: "I want to make one thing clear here. Even if Lian Haolong made a mistake, he is still the second-in-command of our gang. This will never change."
The entire audience fell silent, their gazes fixed on Huo Han and Lian Haolong, each with a look of surprise. Huo Han's statement was undoubtedly a major shock to them.
Lian Haolong looked at Huo Han, a flicker of gratitude in his eyes. He knew Huo Han was doing this to save his face and to stabilize the gang's internal order.
Huo Han sat down and motioned for everyone to continue eating. There was a slight confusion in the room, but it quickly returned to its original atmosphere.
Although the gang members had some speculation about Huo Han and Lian Haolong's relationship, they were more concerned about the future. Huo Han's statement made them realize that only by uniting closely could they face the challenges that lay ahead.
For Huo Han and Lian Haolong, finding that anonymous person became their most important mission. They knew that only by finding this person could they truly control the power of the gang and not worry about a sudden attack from the shadows.
After dinner, the atmosphere in the restaurant was somewhat different. Some were flustered by Huo Han's announcement, while others were delighted. Regardless, the matter was settled. Lian Haolong had been relocated, but his face showed no emotion as he stood up silently and walked towards his new quarters.
After dinner, everyone else dispersed, leaving Lian Haolong alone in the empty room. He didn't seem to object to this new arrangement; instead, he seemed quite accepting of it. He knew this was the best resting environment he could get, and he needed to cherish it and prepare for the upcoming challenges.
In the city late at night, the silence under the lights of thousands of houses is only broken by the occasional meteor across the sky.
On the street, a figure appeared like a ghost near Lian Haolong's residence. He walked lightly and carefully looked for a way to enter.
In the distance, a figure stared at him. He was Huo Han's spy. As he observed this furtive figure, a strong premonition suddenly welled up in his heart.
He quickly pulled out his phone and reported the unusual situation to Huo Han. On the other end of the line, Huo Han's heart raced upon hearing the news. He immediately ordered his informants to continue monitoring while he led a group of people to Lian Haolong's residence.
Swift and silent, their movements were like those of an owl in the night, making no sound at all. They silently surrounded the small house, their hearts filled with tension and vigilance. However, as they prepared to act, the room was completely silent, without a single movement.
Huo Han frowned, a sense of unease creeping into his heart. Without hesitation, he kicked the door open and rushed into the room with his men. They began a thorough search, but the result was beyond their expectations: Lian Haolong had vanished.
The room was deserted, with only the still-still-hot teacup and messy cigarette butts left, as if foreshadowing what had just happened.
Huo Han's expression grew grave. He knew the problem he faced this time might be far more complex than he'd anticipated. He took a deep breath, his gaze gazing into the darkness, his alertness instantly reaching its peak.
He turned and issued a series of orders to his men. They needed to find Lian Haolong as quickly as possible, and also to identify the man hiding behind the scenes. He knew they had to resolve the problem quickly, or they would all face a grave crisis. He clenched his fists, his eyes gleaming with determination. They had to win this battle hidden in the shadows.
Huo Han's eyes flashed like lightning as he directed his men to launch a large-scale search in the vicinity. However, even after they searched every corner nearby, Lian Haolong still disappeared like a bubble, leaving no clues.
Huo Han was deeply shocked. This situation was beyond his expectations, and he couldn't help but feel deeply worried about this mysterious person in the dark.
Huo Han decided he couldn't wait any longer and headed for Officer Miao's residence. He hoped that at least one person would be safe in this chaotic night. He and his men sped off, silently praying for nothing to happen.
When Huo Han's car pulled up to Officer Miao's residence, he breathed a sigh of relief. He saw the light in Officer Miao's room was still on, and he hoped everything was alright. He quickly walked inside and saw Officer Miao lying on the bed, reading documents, calm and at ease. This made him feel relieved.
Hearing the sound of the door opening (Li's Zhao), Officer Miao looked up and was a little surprised to see Huo Han. "Huo Han, why did you come here suddenly at this late hour?" he asked.
Huo Han didn't answer, but gestured for the others to leave. He looked at Officer Miao, his worries slightly lessening. He took a deep breath and said, "I want to talk to you. There's something I need you to know." His voice was steady and resolute, his eyes filled with seriousness.
Chapter 332: Worry
That night, Huo Han honestly confided everything he knew, along with his worries and doubts, to Officer Miao. He knew that at this moment, they needed to trust each other and unite to face this unknown enemy.
Huo Han's words shocked Officer Miao. He had never imagined that such a mysterious "invisible person" had been lingering in his life. He couldn't help but feel a sense of fear, but more importantly, a sense of vigilance against the unknown and a sense of guilt for his own mistakes.
Huo Han looked at him and reminded him: "Officer Miao, I need your help. We must find this person, and I need you to think about whether there is anyone worthy of suspicion." His tone was firm and his expression was serious.
Officer Miao took a deep breath and began to recall his past, trying to clarify every suspicious point. He selected a few names: they were all people who had come into contact with him and had some clues at that critical moment.
Huo Han took the list and immediately organized a team to investigate. He used the excuse that something was missing from the gang as an excuse to track down the people on the list. To his surprise, he found that two of them had disappeared, with no further news.
This discovery made Huo Han more determined. He realized that he had to strengthen the management of the gang and not let anyone disappear at will.
This incident had a profound impact on Huo Han. He became even more vigilant and began to strengthen and adjust the gang's management. He decided to no longer allow gang members to come and go freely. Every move of the gang must be recorded, and every action must be reported to him in advance.
Huo Han knew they were facing a highly intelligent enemy, and every cautious step could mean the difference between life and death. He no longer dared to slack off. He decided that no matter what, he would uncover this "invisible man," or they would all live in the shadows.
A trace of doubt emerged in Officer Miao's mind. He felt that there was a greater danger hidden in this storm. Deciding to withdraw immediately, he asked Huo Han to leave.
This proposal did not surprise Huo Han. In fact, to some extent, he also hoped that Officer Miao would leave and stay away from this place full of undercurrents.
So, Huo Han immediately ordered his men to start packing their luggage and said that he would personally escort Officer Mu away.
Night had fallen, and a car was seen slowly starting up in the darkness and driving away into the distance.
The atmosphere in the car was more depressing than usual, as if all this foreshadowed an undercurrent that was about to surge.
Inside the car, Officer Miao stared out the window at the darkness and began analyzing the situation. "I suspect there are other tunnels within the gang's base; otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to vanish so quickly," he said firmly, confident in his theory.
After hearing this, Huo Han instantly understood what Officer Miao meant. He turned around and looked at Officer Miao, thanking him for his reminder.
Huo Han decisively ordered the driver to speed up and immediately notified the base to search the tunnel. Time was the most precious resource, and they had to find the mysterious man hiding in the shadows as soon as possible.
However, Huo Han felt a little regretful in his heart. He knew that he was a little careless and had not thought of this earlier.
But he knew regret was futile; he had to go all out to uncover the mysterious man lurking in the shadows. He knew all the secrets lay hidden within this turbulent undercurrent, waiting for him to uncover them one by one.
