Hong Kong Movies: The Boss's Global Empire

Chapter 449 Sir Huo, what do you think you can ask?

Huo Han found another switch on the wall and turned it on, and the light came on.

As the light shone, they could see that the passage was quite long.

Huo Han waved his hand, telling everyone to follow. As they continued down the passage, the strange smell grew stronger in the air. This made them all nervous, but under Huo Han's guidance, they continued forward with determination, knowing that this could be the beginning of another great harvest.

Deep in the basement, Huo Han opened an old wooden box. It was filled with various bills and a thick account book. The cover of the book was yellowed by time, giving it a very ancient feel.

Boss, what is this? Follower Xiao Li asked curiously. He had already started to organize these bills.

Let me see... Huo Han took the account book, flipped it open, and took a look. His face suddenly became serious.

The account book records all the transactions of the past few years, from formal business transactions to underground smuggling transactions. This account book is like Lian Haolong's secret diary, recording all his activities.

Huo Han glanced at the contents of the account book, then put it down and said to Xiao Li and the others, "This account book records all of Lian Haolong's transactions, including some illegal ones. We need to carefully investigate these contents and see if we can find any clues about him."

"Okay, boss," Xiao Li replied, and he began to sort out the bills and account books. Although they had already taken control of this place, Huo Han knew they couldn't let their guard down. They had to completely eliminate all hidden dangers before they could truly feel at ease.

So, they got busy in the basement, collecting and organizing various information. Huo Han knew that this basement might contain more secrets, and they had to uncover the secrets bit by bit in order to better control this place.

Huo Han picked up the dusty wooden box and felt the cool texture on his fingertips. He turned to the young man behind him, Xiao Li, and said, "Xiao Li, put these things in a safe place where we can check them at any time. When I have time, we can go through them together in detail."

"Yes, Master Huo," Xiao Li saluted in response, carefully took the wooden box, trying not to disturb the order inside, and quickly left the basement.

Huo Han watched him leave, then resumed his search in the basement, each step and each glance filled with caution. To him, these things were like a wild beast lurking in the bushes, both an opportunity and a threat. The ledgers recording Lian Haolong's crimes and transactions burned like a flame in his hands, potentially illuminating his path or burning him to ashes.

His eyes scanned the basement, full of caution. Suddenly, they stopped at a corner. It was a rusty iron door. Behind the half-open door, a figure could be vaguely seen. With trepidation, Huo Han pushed the door open.

It was a water dungeon, and the man inside was near death. His eyes were sunken, his cheekbones were protruding, and only a sliver of life remained. Huo Han squatted down and helped him up, determined to give him a good environment in his final moments.

Xiao Li, go call a doctor quickly, someone is injured! Huo Han shouted.

Yes, Lord Huo! Xiao Li obeyed the order and quickly left the basement.

This person may be Lian Haolong's prisoner or his enemy, but to Huo Han now, he is just a wounded life that needs his treatment.

Huo Han stood at the basement entrance, looking at the seemingly dead man before him, a surge of inexplicable anger welling up in his heart. He vowed to make sure this never happened again. He would give these people the dignity and rights they deserved. What he wanted to do was change.

Huo Han forced open the rusty iron gate and pulled the man out of the dungeon. The man looked pale and his body was so thin that it was heartbreaking. He walked over, squatted down, and checked the man's breathing. He found that he was still alive. Feeling the man's frail body, Huo Han couldn't help but frown.

"Xiao Li, find some string and tie this guy up first. He might be Lian Haolong's subordinate or enemy, so we can't let him go easily," Huo Han immediately ordered Xiao Li.

"Yes, Master Huo!" Xiao Li replied, leaving and returning moments later with the rope. They carefully tied the man up, using the gentlest possible force, carefully avoiding the bones that seemed vulnerable to shattering.

Huo Han raised his head, his eyes determined and firm. He crossed his hands (cbch) in front of his chest, took a deep breath, then stood up and walked towards Lian Haolong's room.

He brought Lian Haolong to the room where the man was. Huo Han sat on a chair, while Lian Haolong was pinned against the wall by two burly men. It was just the two of them, facing each other.

Lian Haolong, do you know him? Huo Han asked directly, with no emotion in his eyes, only cold judgment and questioning.

Lian Haolong looked up and his expression changed immediately. He shook his head vigorously, his voice trembling. "I... I don't know him, really..."

Huo Han glanced at him, his eyes deep, obviously not completely convinced by his words. He crossed his arms over his chest, was silent for a moment, then opened the folder in his hand and placed the man's photo on the table.

"Take another good look. Are you sure you don't recognize him?" Huo Han asked coldly. He needed to know who this man was, what Lian Haolong had done to him, and what lay hidden in every dark corner of this city.

Huo Han looked at Lian Haolong, his eyes hard as steel. He raised his hand and pointed at the man's photo, a flicker of confusion and worry in his eyes. "You'd better tell me who he is and why he's in the dungeon."

Lian Haolong lowered his head, staring at his hands, his fingers moving gently as if calculating something. He raised his head, his gaze sweeping over Huo Han, and said in a low voice, "Master Huo, there are some things you might be better off not knowing. I can only tell you that this man is no ordinary person. If you provoke him, you might get into trouble."

Huo Han's expression changed slightly when he heard this. He sat up straight, his eyes becoming even colder. "Do you think I'm afraid? If you don't tell me, I'll have my men ask you one by one. I don't believe that no one in the gang knows Lian Haolong's secret!"

Lian Haolong looked at Huo Han, his eyes filled with fear, but mostly with a sneer. "Master Huo, what do you think you can get out of him? That man... he's dying. What else can you get out of him?"

Huo Han looked at Lian Haolong with a gleam in his eyes. He smiled and said, "Let's take a gamble and see if I can get something out of him that you don't want me to know."

He stood up, his eyes sweeping over Lian Haolong. His voice was cold. "Don't worry, I'll take good care of him. As for you, don't worry either. I'll show you that all your secrets will be revealed." Huo Han's eyes gleamed with unwavering determination. He was determined to control everything in this city, both the obvious and the hidden.

Huo Han flipped open the account book in his hand and sneered at Lian Haolong. "It seems your business is quite big. Not only do you deal in drugs, but you also smuggle and even human trafficking. Are these all your works?"

Lian Haolong's face paled, then flushed. His hands clenched into fists, his nails digging deep into his flesh. He gritted his teeth and looked at Huo Han, his voice filled with uncontrollable fear and anger. "Master Huo, what do you want to do?"

Huo Han's expression remained unchanged. He put down the account book and said slowly, "I just want to know something. If you don't tell me, I'll have no choice but to hand this account book over to the police. I'm sure they'll be very interested."

Lian Haolong heard this and looked at Huo Han in horror. You...you are crazy! We will all die if we do that!

Huo Han sneered. "What's it to you whether I live or die? I'm not your man anyway. You should worry about your own fate." "How do you think the police will treat you?"

Huo Han's words were like a sharp sword, piercing Lian Haolong's heart. He knew that if the account book fell into the hands of the police, his fate would be inescapable. He bowed his head helplessly and sighed. "What do you want to know? I'll tell you..."

Huo Han nodded in satisfaction. This was exactly what he had hoped for. No matter what, he was determined to uncover the identity of the man in the dungeon and all of Lian Haolong's secrets. This was the first step toward becoming the city's new ruler.

Huo Han listened quietly to Lian Haolong's words, his eyes never leaving him. "If you can tell me what you want to know, I can ensure your safe departure." "I, Huo Han, may not be a good person, but I keep my word."

… ·……

Lian Haolong hesitated for a moment after hearing this, but finally nodded and said, "Okay, I promise you. But I have to leave here first."

Huo Han's eyes became even colder. "First, tell me what I want to know. Then, I'll let you leave."

Lian Haolong looked at Huo Han, feeling helpless. He knew he was in a weak position and had no negotiating power, so he could only do as Huo Han asked. He thought about it and then proposed his own conditions. "Okay, but I have one condition. You must ensure the safety of my family."

Huo Han's eyes flashed with a hint of complexity. He obviously didn't expect Lian Haolong to make such a request. Your family?

Lian Haolong nodded. "Yes, my wife and son. As long as you can guarantee their safety, I will tell you everything you want to know."

Huo Han looked at Lian Haolong for a moment, then slowly spoke, "Okay, I promise you. As long as you tell me what I want to know, I will guarantee the safety of your family. But you must know that if you lie, I can find you and make you pay the price."
