Yuan An'er, who was behind, reacted quickly and immediately stepped forward to support Xiong Caiwei, who was unsteady on her feet, so that Xiong Caiwei would not fall.

"Who's so immoral?" a crew member shouted angrily at the person who threw the firecrackers.

On the roadside stood several gangsters with strangely dyed hair. They were holding a string of firecrackers, taking one apart, lighting it with a lighter, and throwing it at the three girls.

Xiong Caiwei hid behind Yuan An'er in fright. Yuan An'er glared at them and said, "What kind of men bully women? If you're so tough, come and fight me."

The gangsters, instead of feeling ashamed, laughed and made lewd remarks, which infuriated the three girls.

Assistant director Shen Chunming came out to talk to them, and when he returned, he looked rather unhappy.

Jia Zhendong asked, "Who are they? Are they deliberately causing trouble?"

Shen Chunming said, "This territory belongs to the Yi Hai Gang, and it should be people from the Yi Hai Gang."

"The Yi Hai Gang? Doesn't the Yi Hai Gang have a relationship with Sister Xiao? Why are people from the Yi Hai Gang making things difficult for us?" Jia Zhendong asked in surprise.

Shen Chunming shook his head. "I don't know either. How's your filming going? Let's finish quickly and leave. If we keep filming, I'm afraid we'll end up like the Changxing gang, coming to collect protection money again."

Because this scene was short, few people from the crew came, and Guo Bin, who was supposed to help keep things under control, didn't come either.

They thought that leaving the territory of the Changxing gang would prevent further trouble, but they never expected to encounter troublemakers again.

Jia Zhendong thought for a moment and said, "This shot is only one or two seconds long. In order to edit out that one or two seconds that looks good, I shot a video that is more than ten seconds long. After some editing, it will be enough."

Now that they had finished filming, they packed up their things and left.

The gangsters were somewhat disappointed to see them leave so quickly.

Afterwards, Shen Chunming called back to the company and summoned several security guards to keep order.

Perhaps because someone was there to keep things quiet, the next three scenic spots went smoothly, and no one complained.

After today's filming is finished, there are only two sets left for tomorrow.

The following afternoon, the crew arrived at the last location, a square where the three girls had two shots.

After changing into their first costumes, director Jia Zhendong gave them some acting instructions. They were required to walk forward, and then Xiong Caiwei playfully teased Yilan and ran away. Yuan An'er and Yilan chased after Xiong Caiwei. At this point, the cameraman, following their movements, captured a road sign that blocked the camera's view. After passing the road sign, the three girls changed into another costume and played around again.

"Understood!" Xiong Caiwei and the other two nodded in unison, then found their positions and waited for the director to call "action."

"Action!"

Three stylishly dressed young girls walked confidently over, and after Xiong Caiwei teased Yilan, she ran away laughing and disappeared from the frame.

Yuan An'er and Yi Lan chased after them, disappearing from the camera's view.

The three girls had worked together on the storyline for two days and were quite adept at it, getting the scene right in one take.

Just as the three girls were clapping for passing on the first try, a string of firecrackers was suddenly thrown at them, and the loud bangs made them scream.

The commotion was so loud that not only the entire film crew was startled, but even passersby near the square were taken aback.

After finishing her final work at the recording studio in the morning, Hu Xiaoxiao decided to drive over to the film set to check on the shooting progress since she had some free time in the afternoon.

As she approached the square, Hu Xiaoxiao spotted the film crew shooting in the distance. She drove off, intending to find a place to park. Just then, she saw two motorcycles carrying several thugs parked next to the film crew. They lit a string of firecrackers and threw them at Xiong Caiwei and her two companions, while making extremely malicious noises.

Hu Xiaoxiao flew into a rage and, without even looking for a place to park, stepped on the gas and accelerated, crashing into the two motorcycles.

A loud bang.

The gangsters didn't laugh for long before they were hit by the car and thrown off. They got up and were about to curse when they saw Hu Xiaoxiao driving the car and accelerating towards them. Terrified, they scrambled to escape, fearing that if they were too slow, their limbs would be crushed.

The security guards who came to the film crew today have already run over and taken the opportunity to arrest them and tie their hands and feet.

Hu Xiaoxiao opened the car door and got out. She first checked on Xiong Caiwei and the other two, asking, "Are you injured?"

Xiong Caiwei was so frightened that she was stunned. Even her foundation couldn't hide her pale face. When she saw Hu Xiaoxiao, it was like seeing her pillar of support. Her eyes immediately reddened, and tears streamed down her face. "Principal, they are so mean. They keep coming to scare people. I was almost scared out of my wits."

Hu Xiaoxiao sensed something was wrong. "Are they always here to scare you? When have they ever scared you before, except for today?"

Yilan complained, "Yesterday! Yesterday in front of the Baogang Opera House, they scared us with firecrackers and even threw them at Caiwei, almost injuring her."

"Why didn't anyone tell me about this?" Hu Xiaoxiao turned her gaze to Jia Zhendong and the others.

Jia Zhendong smiled wryly and said, "I called a few security guards over yesterday, and the rest of the filming went smoothly without disturbing Sister Xiao. It's always unavoidable to encounter these kinds of things when filming."

"I don't care about other people's business, but I will never allow my people to be bullied." Hu Xiaoxiao first calmed down the three girls, then walked up to the group of thugs and looked at them with a frosty expression.

Several thugs, pinned to the ground by security guards, showed no fear and even arrogantly shouted, "You'd better let us go and apologize to us, or our boss won't let you off the hook. Do you know which gang we belong to? You dare to arrest us? Don't you want to live? Let go! Let your hands off us!"

"Which club are you from?" Hu Xiaoxiao asked, wanting to know which club was foolish enough to come looking for trouble with her.

“We are from the Yi Hai Gang! You are filming here without paying protection money, which is clearly a sign of disrespect for the Yi Hai Gang. We are just showing you what we're made of.”

Hu Xiaoxiao asked, "When did this square become the territory of your Yi Hai Gang?"

"I just got it last month!"

Hu Xiaoxiao looked at the head of the security team, who nodded and said, "Luo Sheng has acquired a property next door, and this land is temporarily under the control of the Yi Hai Gang."

Hu Xiaoxiao frowned slightly, her gaze falling on the group of thugs, her expression chilling: "Does Luo Cheng know you're here to collect protection money?"

“Luo Sheng is a man of great things, he doesn’t concern himself with these trivial matters. Whether it’s a big deal or a small matter, it’s not your place to concern yourself with these things. You just need to pay your protection fee and be sensible, so as not to make things awkward between the two families.”

Hu Xiaoxiao gave a cold laugh. She couldn't control it? She would still try to control what happened today!
