Reborn in the Hong Kong entertainment industry in the 1980s

Wang Shasha pointed to her bag, then to her clothes and shoes, "How can I buy a bag if I don't have money? How can I buy new clothes and shoes if I don't have money? I'm a celebrity. How can I be a celebrity if I don't have money? What kind of celebrity am I if I don't have a glamorous life?"

Why did she sleep with Qiu Lihua in the past? Wasn't it for fame, fortune, and money? If she could sleep with Qiu Lihua for fame and fortune, why couldn't she sleep with others?

"If it weren't for me, you'd still be sitting on the sidelines, would you have achieved what you have today?" Qiu Lihua's resentment towards Wang Shasha deepened. "If it weren't for you, would I be in this mess today? Everything I have today is your fault!"

"What does this have to do with me?" Wang Shasha scoffed dismissively, saying, "After I became famous, you got a share of the money I earned. The Rolex you're wearing was a gift from me. I not only gave you money, but I also slept with you for free. You've taken advantage of me, yet you still complain?"

"Give me two hundred thousand, or I'll ruin your reputation."

"Do you think I'm easily scared? Trying to ruin my reputation? Do you think you're something special? I know everything you've done at the company, and I've seen all the accounts you have."

Qiu Lihua's expression changed. "You've seen it?"

Wang Shasha said smugly, "I often stay overnight at your house. What in your house do I not know? I just didn't expose you because of old friendship."

"You bitch!" Qiu Lihua suddenly rushed forward, grabbed Wang Shasha by the neck, his face contorted with rage. "I've been so good to you, and you dare to betray me? Die!"

Wang Shasha's eyes rolled back as she was being choked, her hands flailing wildly. The bag in her hand hit Qiu Lihua on the head, and she broke free from his grasp when he pulled back in pain.

Immediately afterwards, Qiu Lihua chased after her and tried to strangle her. In the struggle, Wang Shasha's head hit the corner of the wall, causing her to bleed profusely, leaving a crimson stain on the white wall.

Seeing the bloodstains on the white wall, Qiu Lihua's chaotic thoughts finally calmed down. He was shocked and frightened. Looking at Wang Shasha lying on the ground, her life hanging in the balance, he broke out in a cold sweat.

He dared not linger and hurriedly ran out, returning to his residence in a panic. There, he frantically searched for anything that might be detrimental to him and destroyed it all.

Based on the recording, Steven contacted several informants and checked with major banks to see if there had been any recent large-scale cash transfers. He finally found out the time when Big Tooth was going to rob the armored truck and the route of the armored truck.

Police waited in ambush, and when Da Ya Lai and his men rushed toward the armored truck, the truck door suddenly opened, and a squad of Flying Tigers rushed out, engaging in a gunfight with Da Ya Lai and his men.

By the time Steven had finished everything and investigated all the cases, it was already half a month later.

"Xiaoxiao, come out for dinner when you're free." Steven called to invite her to dinner.

"Where are you?" Hu Xiaoxiao had just finished filming "A Laugh in the Jianghu" and was working on the script for the anniversary drama. She had been quite free lately, spending her time at home eating and drinking.

Steven gave her a choice: "Do you want chicken or goose?"

"I've been eating goose, but I've also been eating chicken several times recently."

"Same place."

This "old place" is certainly not the old spot by the sea suitable for murder and body disposal, but rather the old place of the roast goose restaurant.

Steven called his boss to reserve a room before finishing all his business and then drove to the roast goose restaurant.

On the way, they saw a shop selling bowl cakes that was doing good business, so they specially brought Hu Xiaoxiao several flavors of bowl cakes.

When Hu Xiaoxiao arrived at the roast goose shop, Steven had already brewed tea and was waiting for her. Seeing her come in, he took out the bowl-shaped rice cakes and said, "Try the bowl-shaped rice cakes here. The business is very good, and the taste is also good."

Hu Xiaoxiao sat down and said, "I've seen people selling bowl cakes when I was shopping, but the taste was just so-so."

"You should try this place. I've eaten here before, and it's very good."

When Hu Xiaoxiao took a look, she found that this shop had a wider variety of bowl cakes, including mung bean bowl cakes, red bean bowl cakes, and flavors such as jujube and coconut.

Hu Xiaoxiao took a bite of the red bean rice cake, her eyes lit up, and she said, "This red bean rice cake has coconut milk added, making it even more fragrant."

Steven laughed and said, "I told you, this place is delicious, and it's fresh and smooth."

“Looks like you know your food better than I do,” Hu Xiaoxiao said.

Steven said, "I was born and raised in Baogang, so it's normal for me to know a lot of good places to eat."

"Next time you have to take me to find a new and delicious place. I've tried so many things, and I want to try something new."

"No problem, I know a shop that makes really good meatballs. Their curry fish balls are famous. They make fish balls with fresh seafood every day, paired with a unique curry recipe. They're so delicious that sometimes the line stretches for a whole street. Their beef balls and tendon balls are made with techniques passed down from Chaoshan. They're bouncy and crunchy, and many people drive there specifically to eat them."

Hu Xiaoxiao immediately made another appointment with Steven to eat fish balls and meatballs. At this moment, the owner brought out the sliced ​​roast goose.

The two of them had a rule when eating: no matter how important or trivial the matter, eating was the most important thing. Everything else had to wait until they had finished eating and were full before they could start discussing anything else.

The freshly roasted goose is still piping hot, with crispy skin and tender meat. One bite and the meat is bursting with juice. Dip it in plum sauce, and the rich flavor of the roasted goose combined with the sweet and sour taste of the plum sauce makes it never feel greasy.

Every time they come over, Hu Xiaoxiao and Steven order a whole goose, which they finish with rice.

After finishing the goose, take a sip of Yingde black tea, and you'll feel so comfortable that you won't want to move.

At this point, Steven began to talk to Hu Xiaoxiao about the case.

"You've done our police station a huge favor. This robbery was a collaboration between gangsters and bank executives. If it weren't for you, it would have been the biggest robbery in Hong Kong's history. The amount of money involved was enormous, and the social impact was terrible. Our police officers would have been cursed by their superiors and the public." Steven was a little scared and thanked Hu Xiaoxiao again.

After finishing her tea, Hu Xiaoxiao poured herself another cup and refilled Steven's as well, saying, "Who told them to come looking for trouble?"

Steven said, "Your information was so useful that I should have rewarded you with a sum of money, but I held back. Da Ya Lai is a member of the Qinglong Gang, and I was afraid that the Qinglong Gang would cause you trouble, so I erased your presence in this case and tried my best not to let them know that you were involved."

Hu Xiaoxiao nodded. "I don't lack this little bit of money. It's better to avoid trouble."

“That’s what I think too. The bonus is just a drop in the ocean compared to your current income. There’s no need to take the risk.” Steven explained to Hu Xiaoxiao how to handle the aftermath.

Hu Xiaoxiao didn't get the news of their robbery directly from the five bandits; she pieced it together from their testimonies to deduce the truth.

Steven pointed the trail to several informants, and even when someone investigated later, they only assumed that the information was provided to the police by the informants.

As for the five criminals, they were charged with kidnapping, not robbery.
