Reborn in the Hong Kong entertainment industry in the 1980s

As usual, Hu Xiaoxiao carried her bag to the dressing room. She sat down on a chair and slowly touched up her makeup. Then she adjusted her clothes in front of the mirror, adding a few small accessories to make her look more refined and fashionable for the show.

Outside the door, the light footsteps sounded again, so faintly that Hu Xiaoxiao would probably have missed them if her hearing hadn't been so good.

Hu Xiaoxiao remained seated, and even took out a candy, slowly savoring its sweetness.

She only stood up when she heard loud fighting sounds outside, slowly walked to the door, and gently opened it.

Outside the door, Chang Wanming was fighting with an older, bald man in a cleaning uniform. Both were afraid of attracting attention, so they fought silently.

Hu Xiaoxiao remembered this cleaner. She was responsible for cleaning several floors of the production crew's building. She was chubby and always had a smile on her face. Little did she know that she was a peeping tom and even took photos without permission!

You can't judge a book by its cover.

Hu Xiaoxiao saw the camera lying on the ground and picked it up.

This is a very professional camera. Although it's old, it's still quite expensive, something a cleaner wouldn't be able to afford.

When the bald man saw the camera in Hu Xiaoxiao's hands, he became so anxious that he suddenly became much stronger, shoved Chang Wanming aside, and snatched the camera from Hu Xiaoxiao.

Hu Xiaoxiao took a step back and kicked the bald man to the ground. Chang Wanming quickly rushed over, pinned the bald man down, and said, "Miss Hu, I saw this old man with a camera, secretly taking pictures inside. Look at the crack in the door, there's a fairly large gap, you can see what's going on inside."

Following the direction Chang Wanming pointed out, Hu Xiaoxiao saw the crack in the door, which was usually covered by a poster. By lifting a corner of the poster, she could see into the changing room.

This gap is enough to capture a lot of footage.

Although there are small cubicles in the changing room, since it is a women's changing room, some people are in a hurry and just close the door and change inside.

Hu Xiaoxiao examined the door crack and the poster; judging from their signs of use, they had been there for quite some time.

Hu Xiaoxiao ordered Chang Wanming to take the bald man into the changing room and interrogate him about how long he had been secretly filming and how many people he had filmed.

"I didn't! I'm here to clean. You're framing me! I'm going to complain to the company! I'll complain that you bullied the elderly, and I'll expose you to the reporters!" The bald man started by making false accusations.

Chang Wanming was so angry he laughed, and kicked the bald man. "Cleaning? Taking pictures of the changing room is called cleaning? Do you think I'm blind?"

"That camera isn't mine! I don't know where you picked it up from to frame me!" The bald man stubbornly denied everything, trying to clear himself of all responsibility.

Hu Xiaoxiao waved the camera in her hand and said, "If you don't confess, I'll develop the photos inside and see how you try to deny it."

The bald man, however, acted as if he had nothing to lose, saying, "What does this have to do with me? You brought the camera here, who knows what you took pictures of? I've always been an honest person, and everyone in the company believes in my innocence."

The bald man turned to Chang Wanming and said with a sly smile, "It must be you who came here with a camera to secretly photograph women, young man. If you don't let me out, I'll tell the reporters that you, Chang Wanming, are a voyeur who specializes in spying on women changing clothes, including Hu Xiaoxiao. Let's see how you survive in the entertainment industry then."

Chang Wanming has wronged many people, but this is the first time in his life he has been wronged. He thought he was a scumbag, but he never expected there to be another old scumbag here.

"You bastard! You scoundrel! Do you believe I'll smash your head in?" Chang Wanming raised his fist and threatened the bald man fiercely.

"I don't believe it," the bald man said confidently. "Killing someone is a crime punishable by imprisonment. So many people in the company know you're around. If you kill me, you'll be the first suspect. Young man, I didn't peep on you while you were changing clothes, and I have no grudge against you. You'd better let me go. You give me a way out, and I'll give you a way out, how about that?"

Before Chang Wanming could answer, Hu Xiaoxiao had already lost her patience. She put the camera she had finished studying aside, grabbed the bald man by the back of his collar, and dragged him to the wall.

She pulled back one of the curtains on the wall, revealing a window behind it.

I opened the window and looked down. It was several stories high, with a concrete floor below. If I fell from here, I would break several bones.

Hu Xiaoxiao turned around and asked the bald man, "I'll ask you one last time, who instructed you to take pictures of me secretly?"

The bald man was a lecherous voyeur who enjoyed spying on women, and he'd probably been doing it for years. The fact that he hadn't been caught for so long meant he was a very cautious person. However, Hu Xiaoxiao noticed several times that he would appear nearby whenever she entered the changing room, and coupled with the feeling of being watched, she suspected he was also one of those targeting her.

"Nobody's here. I'm just cleaning." The bald man still refused to admit it.

Then go to hell!

Hu Xiaoxiao grabbed a rag and stuffed it into the bald man's mouth, then threw him out the window.

The bald man's eyes widened suddenly as he stared at the hard concrete floor below, his body plummeting downwards, his soul nearly leaping out of his body in fright.

When he fell like that, his head was smashed into a pulp!

Wuwuwu——

The bald man screamed in terror, thinking he was about to fall to his death, before realizing he was frozen in mid-air.

He turned around with difficulty and saw that Hu Xiaoxiao was holding onto a section of his trouser leg.

Hu Xiaoxiao peeked out, her incomparably beautiful face extremely cold. "Confess or not? You'd better think it over quickly, your pants might not last much longer."

Her expression showed no sign of joking with him, and the bald man knew she was truly willing to let go.

He thought the most ruthless and threatening person was Chang Wanming, the tall and strong man he fought with, and that he would be fine once he dealt with Chang Wanming. He never imagined that the most ruthless person was Hu Xiaoxiao, who usually seemed to be smiling.

Under his gaze, Hu Xiaoxiao slowly loosened her fingers, one, two...

I could still hear Hu Xiaoxiao's voice saying, "After you fall to your death, I will tell everyone in the company that you were cleaning here and accidentally slipped and fell. If anyone doubts Chang Wanming, I will testify for him and tell everyone that you fell on your own and it was an accident."

Chang Wanming had no idea what the bald man was feeling at that moment, but he was definitely not in a good mood.

If the bald guy gets into trouble, he'll definitely be the first suspect, because he's a man and looks the most aggressive. And Hu Xiaoxiao, everyone in the company says she has a good temper.

He was incredibly grateful that he had backed down quickly enough yesterday; if Hu Xiaoxiao had also thrown him off the building—

Three fingers...

"Waaaah—" The bald man was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he kept nodding.

Hu Xiaoxiao then pulled the bald man back, threw him on the ground, and took out a cassette tape and a radio from her bag for Chang Wanming to interrogate.
