Chapter 453 1 The principle has always been fairness and justice
Huo Han led his men deeper into the ground, where secret passages gradually emerged before them. He felt a strong pressure, and everything before him made him realize the seriousness of the situation.
He strictly ordered everyone to conduct a thorough search of these passages and make sure that the exit of each secret passage was under their control.
Although he wanted to devote himself to this issue, the conflict within the gang suddenly escalated. Because of Huo Han's actions, many gang members began to doubt him, thinking that he did not truly accept them.
This news made Huo Han frown even more. He knew that he had to solve this problem quickly, otherwise the entire gang might fall into dangerous chaos.
"Collect everyone's opinions. I want to know what exactly they are complaining about." Huo Han ordered his men to investigate. He knew that at a moment like this, he could not let everyone's opinions be ignored because of his own decision.
However, as the investigation progressed, Huo Han gradually realized that the root of the problem wasn't his decision-making, but rather the identification those people had with him. His decisions and actions led many to question whether he was truly acting in the interests of the entire gang. In the minds of many, he might not have truly integrated into the gang.
Huo Han sighed deeply. He knew he had to find a way to dispel their doubts and regain their trust. Only then could they unite and face the unknown dangers in the coming challenges.
Inside the gang's compound, the atmosphere was tense, like a powder keg about to burst. One of Huo Han's subordinates, ignoring the surrounding jeers, loudly accused a fellow gang member of being a thief, even pointing out that he was Lian Haolong's thief.
The accused member was instantly furious and could not tolerate such stigma, so he punched back.
For a moment, both factions erupted in excitement, escalating the already tense atmosphere to a new level. A distorted suspicion burned within them like a fire, plunging everyone into a state of turmoil and uncertainty.
Seeing this, Huo Han knew this was no longer a problem he could just watch unfold from afar; he had to personally address it. He quickly ordered his men to continue investigating the hidden passage, while he himself decided to deal with the conflict that had begun to ferment.
… ·…………
"Quiet!" Huo Han's stern shout instantly silenced everyone in the hall. He walked forward with steady steps, and the eyes of both factions were focused on him.
He pointed at the two men fighting and said word by word, "We are all one family. We should unite and face all difficulties and dangers together. If we can't even solve this little problem, how can we face the enemies outside?"
..…0
His words chilled the atmosphere in the hall, and everyone fell silent. They knew Huo Han was right; they were all one family, and whether they were from the old gang or the new gang, they should unite and face all problems together.
Inside the gang's headquarters, filled with smoke and conflict, Huo Han summoned both parties involved in the fight to his presence and questioned them about what had happened. After an in-depth investigation, Huo Han discovered that the instigators were indeed the people he had brought with him.
Although he was somewhat dissatisfied with this person's behavior, in order to maintain fairness and justice, Huo Han decided to ask him to apologize.
You apologize to him. Huo Han's tone was full of unquestionable authority.
However, the man was obviously dissatisfied with this. His face turned gloomy, and a sarcastic smile appeared at the corner of his lips. Huo Han, do you really think you are the gang leader? I don't have time to argue with you about this. Huo Han's tone became more severe. Now, immediately, apologize to him.
Under Huo Han's pressure, the man reluctantly paid the money, but his attitude was not sincere, which made the already angry gang members even more dissatisfied.
Huo Han saw what he was thinking and knew he had to go and appease the gang member. He found an excuse and walked to the gang member's room alone.
However, the moment he opened the door, he was completely enraged by what he saw: the gang member was secretly taking drugs.
Huo Han's face turned gloomy in an instant. He glared at the gang member in front of him, anger burning in his eyes. "What are you doing?" Huo Han roared, and the originally quiet room instantly became filled with tension and fear.
Huo Han's eyes burned with rage. He pointed sternly at Zhang Jie, the gang member who was obsessed with drugs, and said coldly, "I remember I clearly stipulated that no one in the gang is allowed to touch drugs. You blatantly violated the rules. Do you know that your actions will affect the entire gang's cause?"
His voice echoed through the room, but Zhang Jie seemed oblivious, still obsessed with the drugs in his hand. This scene made Huo Han even more angry. He snatched the drugs from Zhang Jie's hand and sternly demanded, "Do you still want to continue to ruin yourself and bring trouble to the gang?"
Zhang Jie had just finished taking drugs and was high. Seeing the drugs being snatched away from him, he immediately flew into a rage. With his eyes wide open, he lunged at Huo Han, trying to get the drugs back.
Huo Han wasn't to be outdone. His agility was undeniable, and he'd anticipated this. When Zhang Jie lunged, he quickly dodged and tackled him to the ground. He stared at Zhang Jie and said coldly, "How can you expect to serve the gang if you can't even protect yourself?"
He then ordered his gang members nearby to take Zhang Jie away, and before leaving, he reminded them: "Lock him up and wait until he wakes up before dealing with him."
Huo Han's eyes were filled with determination and resolve. He knew he needed to take a strong stance to stop this behavior that was endangering the gang. This was also a warning to other gang members: he would not tolerate any violation of gang rules...
Huo Han sat in his office, looking at Zhang Jie, who stood pale and determined. He stroked his teacup, pondering his response. Zhang Jie had just emerged from the cooling-off room, still clearly seething with anger. Facing Huo Han, he bluntly declared, "I'm leaving. I'm not staying with your gang anymore."
Huo Han looked at him quietly, not responding immediately. Instead, he let him continue. "You say you welcome us, but it seems to me you're only favoring the people Lian Haolong left behind. You've captured us and put us under your control. No matter how I look at it, I can't help but feel that you don't trust us. Where's your ability to judge people?"
Zhang Jie's words hit the nail on the head for Huo Han. He knew that this was not just a problem for Zhang Jie, but also a problem of integration of new and old members of the entire gang.
He took a deep breath, tried to calm himself, and began to respond to Zhang Jie: "I understand your thoughts. I know my previous actions may have made you dissatisfied, but you must know that everything I did was for the long-term development of the gang."
His words did not impress Zhang Jie. Zhang Jie sneered and continued to resolutely express his intention to leave.
Huo Han knew that his words could not move Zhang Jie, so he stopped trying to dissuade him. He simply said, "If you want to leave, I won't stop you, but I hope you can think clearly. The world outside is not as simple as you think."
He expressed his concern for Zhang Jie, but also firmly approved his departure. Faced with this situation, he knew that only by letting some people leave could the entire gang move forward better.
Huo Han sat in the spacious conference room, looking back at Zhang Jie's back who had just left, his heart filled with complicated emotions.
Although Zhang Jie was somewhat unruly, he was also a man of courage and talent. Huo Han had hoped he could become a significant force in the gang. But now, he could only watch this talented man leave. The gang lost a rare talent and gained a hidden danger.
Although he appeared quiet and indifferent on the surface, he knew deep down that Zhang Jie's departure would cause turmoil within the gang.
Although this turmoil was invisible on the surface, he knew that everyone was thinking and guessing what Huo Han meant. This was a delicate and complex situation that required him to think carefully and make the right response.
At this moment, the men Lian Haolong had left behind began to stir up trouble, mistakenly believing Huo Han had deliberately let Zhang Jie leave in order to gain their trust. They began deliberately stirring up trouble, attempting to test Huo Han's attitude through their actions. Their actions, though covert, were not lost on Huo Han.
Huo Han knew this was a critical moment and he needed to handle the situation properly and make everyone understand his resolve and principles. Otherwise, the gang might split because of this incident. So, he decided to take action, gathered all the gang members, and began to give a speech.
"Everyone, I know you have a lot of doubts about me, and I also know you have a lot of expectations of me." Huo Han looked at everyone and took a deep breath. "My principle as Huo Han has always been fairness and justice. No matter who is left behind by Lian Haolong or who I brought with me, they are all part of our gang and will be treated fairly."
His words were firm, powerful, and convincing. He went on to say, "Conflicts between gangs should be resolved peacefully, not by stirring up trouble or leaving the gang. Such actions will not only fail to solve the problem, but will only make it more complicated."
Huo Han's words shocked everyone. Seeing his determination, they began to reevaluate their actions and reconsider their decisions. Under Huo Han's leadership, the gang began to gradually emerge from this difficult situation and move towards a more stable future.
The situation hadn't settled down yet. Just as Huo Han was beginning to process the complex emotions within the gang, the same thing happened again. Li Sheng, another member of Lian Haolong's group, became drunk and started a disturbance. Although he quickly begged for mercy after being restrained, Huo Han wouldn't let him off unscathed. According to gang rules, he was publicly whipped.
However, this handling of the situation sparked dissatisfaction among others, especially those who had originally followed Zhang Jie. They began to secretly discuss the situation, mistakenly believing that Huo Han was using double standards to judge the members of the gang.
