Chapter 467 I decided to join in and lend you a hand
Just as the little girl and Huo Han were about to leave, Uncle Wang suddenly turned around and looked at Huo Han coldly, "Boy, do you know who I am?"
Huo Han looked at him and said calmly, "I don't know, and I'm not interested in knowing."
Uncle Wang sneered, "You may not know this, but I am the most powerful force in this city. If you offend me today, it will not be a good thing."
Huo Han looked at him coldly, "I only know that I have to protect the little girl, no matter who you are."
Uncle Wang's expression darkened, and he and Huo Han remained in a stalemate for a long moment. Finally, he sheathed his gun and spoke word by word, "I'm telling you, you'd better protect her well. Don't make any mistakes, or I'll make you pay."
Huo Han nodded slightly, knowing that the other party was threatening him at the moment, but also seemed to have some regret and expectation.
Uncle Wang turned and left, while Huo Han quickly walked out of the banquet hall and began to look for the little girl.
While protecting her, he became increasingly aware of the disputes and power struggles behind the scenes, but he firmly believed that his original intention was always to ensure the safety of the little girl.
Huo Han trudged to the parking lot, his mind lingering on the scene in the banquet hall. Uncle Wang's threats and the girl's complex gaze weighed heavily on him. He started the car and headed back to his residence along the night street.
As soon as Huo Han entered the gate, he was blocked by the boss's men. Several burly men stared at him fiercely. One of them raised his eyebrows slightly and said sarcastically, "Hey, isn't that bodyguard Huo Han? I heard you performed very bravely tonight."
Huo Han's expression was calm, but he was alert in his heart, and he clearly felt that something was wrong in the atmosphere.
Another of his men rushed over impatiently and dealt Huo Han a heavy blow. Huo Han took two steps back, his mouth full of blood. But he didn't fight back, only looking at them calmly.
"Do you know who you have offended?" the third man growled.
Huo Han remained silent. He knew that resisting at this moment would only make things worse.
Huo Han fell to the ground, bloodied, and several people beat him up again. He gritted his teeth, his eyes gleaming with determination.
Just as Huo Han was about to withstand the next wave of attacks, a deep voice sounded, "Enough."
The group of men stopped immediately. Huo Han raised his head and saw the boss walking in. There was a hint of pity in his eyes.
"Everyone get out." The boss's order was decisive and cold.
The men retreated one after another, leaving only Huo Han and the boss in the spacious living room.
The boss walked up to Huo Han, squatted down, and looked at him, "Do you know why I asked them to beat you?"
Huo Han smiled bitterly, "Because I offended Uncle Wang."
The boss shook his head and sighed. He stretched out his hand and pointed to the sofa next to Huo Han, "Sit 263."
Huo Han looked at him doubtfully, but still sat down.
The boss took a deep breath, as if to organize his thoughts, and then slowly said: “The Wang family, their influence in this city far exceeds ours.
I may be wealthy, but to them, I'm nothing more than a small shrimp. Uncle Wang's father, Boss Wang, was once the de facto ruler of this city. Huo Han frowned slightly, waiting for Boss Wang to continue.
"To stabilize my family's position, I have always wanted to marry into the Wang family. But my daughter, my only pride, has never agreed to this marriage because she knows that such a marriage will only bring her pain."
Huo Han lowered his head. He could understand the girl's situation. Forced marriages were often not for love, but for profit.
Tears glistened in the eldest brother's eyes. "I know this is unfair to her, but I have no choice." Until recently, the Wang family proposed a bet.
If anyone can successfully protect my daughter for a week, then they will stop interfering in her life and stop forcing a marriage."
Huo Han's heart beat faster, and he suddenly understood everything that happened tonight.
"I know this is a dangerous game, but for her, I chose to gamble." The boss's voice was low, "You showed up, and you gave me hope."
Huo Han was silent. He looked at the boss with determination in his eyes.
The eldest brother continued, "So, today's banquet was arranged by the Wang family for this marriage, but the choice you made shows me your determination. I also know that you truly want to protect the little girl."
Huo Han lowered his head and said in a hoarse voice: "I just want to do my job well."
The eldest brother smiled slightly, "I know. But you have to know that my daughter's safety is more important than anything else."
Huo Han took a deep breath and said, "I understand."
Huo Han sat upright. Although his body was injured, the determination in his eyes never wavered.
The eldest brother continued, "You succeeded. You protected her. But you also offended the Wang family, which I didn't expect. I thought they would keep their promise, but I was wrong. They beat you today because they wanted you to leave here and leave her."
Huo Han felt a pang of pain in his heart, but he knew that the boss was telling the truth.
The eldest brother sighed and said, "I want you to leave here, leave this city. I remember everything you have done for our family. I reward you in the hope that you can live a good life somewhere else."
After saying that, the boss took out a bank check from his pocket. The number on it was something Huo Han had never seen before.
Huo Han was shocked. He looked at the boss with questions in his eyes.
The boss shook his head gently: "I'm not buying your silence, this is my gratitude to you. But I hope you can keep tonight's secret."
Huo Han was silent for a moment, and finally nodded.
The boss smiled slightly and waved his hand, indicating that Huo Han could leave.
Huo Han stood up and bowed deeply: "Thank you, I will remember all this."
The boss nodded and watched Huo Han leave. There was both regret and relief in his eyes.
Huo Han stopped in a dark part of the city, a place called the "black market." It was a place where missions were exchanged, intelligence was sold, and it was also a gathering place for countless mercenaries and assassins.
Walking into a bar called "Night Cat", Huo Han sat at the bar and drank a sip of iced whiskey. A middle-aged man came over to the bar. It was Lao Zhang.
An information broker in the black market.
Huo Han, I heard that you completed your last mission quite well?" Old Zhang said with a teasing smile.
Huo Han glanced at him and said, "I'm still far from that level. I'm going to the jungle to find someone."
Lao Zhang raised his eyebrows and said, "I heard that the situation over there is not very stable. I'm afraid you can't handle it alone."
A hint of determination flashed in Huo Han's eyes: "I must go."
Lao Zhang sighed. "If you rush in like this, you might miss the real opportunity. Why don't you take on a few more missions so you can be better prepared?"
Huo Han was silent for a moment, then decided to follow Lao Zhang's advice: "Okay, then take two more."
Lao Zhang opened his electronic board, which listed the upcoming missions. "Here's a mission to escort a wealthy businessman, with a one-week deadline. The bounty is substantial, and all you need to do is ensure the businessman's safety during this week."
Huo Han nodded: "Deal."
Lao Zhang smiled slightly and said, "There is another task. I think your group of friends will be interested in it."
Huo Han raised his eyes and looked at the introduction of the task, a smile flashed in his eyes: "Leave this and wait for them to come to me."
After completing the transaction, Lao Zhang passed on the wealthy businessman's information to Huo Han, including his photo, whereabouts, and contact information. Huo Han memorized the information and handed the electronic board back to Lao Zhang.
"To ensure your safety, I have someone here who will take you to the designated location." Lao Zhang pointed to the corner of the bar. A man in a black suit with a cold look was walking towards them.
Huo Han nodded: "Thanks, Lao Zhang."
The man stepped forward: "My name is Lei, follow me."
Huo Han followed Lei out of the bar, and the two got into a black SUV and drove towards the other side of the city.
In the car, Lei began to explain the key points of this mission to 557 Huo Han: "The wealthy businessman is called Lin Tian. He recently had something to do here, but he was worried about his safety, so he found us."
Huo Han listened and had a preliminary understanding of this mission.
Ray continued, "Your mission is simple. Make sure he doesn't get hurt during this week."
Huo Han nodded: "I understand."
The car drove for about half an hour before finally stopping in front of a luxurious villa. Lei turned and looked at Huo Han: "From now on, you will be Mr. Lin's shadow. Protect him at all times."
Huo Han took a deep breath and nodded slowly: "I will do it."
The two got out of the car and walked towards the villa. Huo Han knew that a new mission and a new challenge had begun.
In the hall of the villa, Huo Han waited quietly, observing the surrounding layout from time to time. In order to deal with possible emergencies, he needed to make sure that he was fully aware of everything here.
Suddenly, a cell phone rang in the spacious hall. The wealthy businessman Lin Tian walked out, frowned slightly, and pressed the answer button.
Yes... After he said a few words, his expression changed slightly and he hung up the phone. He turned to Huo Han and said, "I have to go to the private airport to pick someone up. Come with me."
Huo Han nodded slightly and followed him out without hesitation. On the way to the airport, Huo Han keenly caught some unusual details, from peeping around the street corner to the motorcycles rushing by, all of which made Huo Han feel a little uneasy.
Stop the car, Huo Han suddenly said, parked the car on the side of the road, and looked at Lin Tian, "I feel like we are being followed." (cbda) Lin Tian showed a trace of anxiety, but quickly calmed down: "What should we do?"
Huo Han pondered for a moment and said, "I'll go pick up your guest. You find a secluded place to hide."
Just as he finished speaking, a black car suddenly stopped in front of their car, the window slowly slid down, and an expressionless man looked at them. It was Lei. He stretched out his hand and
He made a gesture, signaling Huo Han to come over.
Huo Han quickly walked to Lei's car. After the two of them talked in low voices for a few words, Lei nodded and motioned Huo Han to get in the car.
In the car, Lei briefly explained, "I heard someone was going to harm Mr. Lin. This time I'm the guest to pick up, so I decided to join in and lend a hand." Huo Han smiled slightly, "That's good."
The two quickly divided the work: Huo Han was responsible for picking up the rich man at the airport, while Lei stayed where he was, looking for and dealing with potential threats.
On the way to the airport, Huo Han encountered several suspected traps.
He carefully walked around a seemingly ordinary trash can, which actually contained an explosive device; he encountered two militants who tried to intercept him, but Huo Han quickly dealt with them before he discovered them, rendering them incapable of combat.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the city, Lei was engaged in a fierce battle with several armed men. With his superb fighting skills and keen observation, he easily subdued two of them and led the others away from the airport.
