Reborn in the Hong Kong entertainment industry in the 1980s

Let alone just using the name of the Yi Hai Gang, even if Luo Cheng himself were here, anyone who dared to touch her would pay the price.

Hu Xiaoxiao has a bottom line.

Don't be fooled by her seemingly easygoing nature. Once you cross her line, she won't care who you are or what your background is. She's truly capable of anything, whether it's a personal matter or an inhuman one.

When Hu Xiaoxiao's car crashed into them, it not only sent two motorcycles flying, but also scattered their contents everywhere. A box of firecrackers that had been on the motorcycles fell to the ground, with a string of them right at Hu Xiaoxiao's feet.

Hu Xiaoxiao picked up a string of firecrackers, smiled at the gangster pinned to the ground, and said, "You like playing with firecrackers, right? I like playing with them too. How about we play together?"

The thugs on the ground had a bad feeling, but they thought that no matter what, Hu Xiaoxiao was a woman and would probably give the Yi Hai Gang some face and wouldn't do anything to them. They were just doing what their boss said.

Hu Xiaoxiao handed the firecrackers to the security captain and instructed him, "Drag a few trash cans over there, put one in each of them, then throw the firecrackers in the trash cans. Remember to close the lids, it'll be a lot of fun."

Don't they like to play? Don't they like to throw firecrackers at other people? Then they should try being blown up by firecrackers themselves.

Look how kind she is, letting them play what they like.

The thugs' expressions changed, and their tone softened. "Miss Hu, no, Sister Xiao, let's talk this out. We'll never come to collect protection money again, okay?"

"If you don't come to collect them, we'll send another group, right? Do not do to others what you would not have them do to you. Now that you're scared, it's too late." Hu Xiaoxiao's anger flared up again when she saw Xiong Caiwei still somewhat dazed from fright. Pointing to the firecrackers scattered on the ground, she said to the security captain, "I see there are quite a lot of firecrackers here. Let's not waste them. Pick them all up and give them to everyone."

The security guards were very experienced in this kind of revenge. They tied up the people, gagged them, dragged over a trash can half a person's height, stuffed the gangsters into the trash can one by one, lit firecrackers and threw them in, then closed the lid and locked it.

Suddenly, a burst of firecrackers went off in the trash can, along with the whining of several gangsters.

They brought a box of firecrackers, hoping to scare the film crew into paying for peace. The box of firecrackers was divided equally among them, and they suffered for quite some time.

Hu Xiaoxiao glanced at it a few times, returned to the car, rolled up the window to block out a lot of noise, and then picked up the phone to call Li Huishan.

Upon hearing Hu Xiaoxiao's voice, Li Huishan asked with a smile, "What brings a big star like you to come see me?"

Hu Xiaoxiao replied with a smile, "I've come to confront you and demand an explanation."

Li Huishan responded with an "Oh," and added, "I wonder which of your brothers has offended you. I hope you'll be lenient with me for Luo Sheng's sake."

Tolerance? Hu Xiaoxiao knew what they meant from their tone.

Since that's the case, Hu Xiaoxiao stopped being polite and said, "I'm a very simple person. I always repay kindness with kindness and revenge with revenge. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, blood for blood. I treat others the way they treat me. Isn't that fair, Brother Shan?"

Li Huishan was silent for a moment, then said, "So what if I offended your brother?"

"I won't die." Hu Xiaoxiao rolled down the car window. The firecrackers had already finished, and there was still a lingering smell of sulfur in the air. "However, if anyone is so blind as to bully my people next time, I won't be so easy to talk to."

"Miss Hu's temper has gotten worse since I last saw her."

"This has always been my temper. If you come to bully me, I can still reason with you, but if you bully my artists, especially if you dare to touch a hair on my female artists' heads, I'm lucky I didn't kill them. I'll say it again, if there's a next time, luck won't save them."

"Ms. Hu, you're a district councilor now, and a big star too. Aren't you afraid that this kind of news will affect your future?"

"Then let's see if you know what's good for you. It's just a district council meeting. At worst, I'll quit. I can quit being a celebrity. I'm not afraid of losing anything. I just don't know what you're afraid of losing?"

On the other end of the phone, Li Huishan chuckled twice, his voice gentle but tinged with a warning. "You alone, or how many people are there in your Shengshi group? You've narrowed your path and become a public enemy. How can you fight four fists with two hands? Miss Hu, business is a collaborative effort. If you take all the profits and leave others hungry, who knows what those who are starving might do?"

Upon hearing this, Hu Xiaoxiao knew that the previous movie's box office success had caused several companies to fail, which had earned them a grudge. Now that her new movie was coming out, they were deliberately trying to cause trouble.

Of course, things are not that simple.

Shengshi has cultivated several minor celebrities, recruited several directors, and opened new departments, aiming to expand its market. This will inevitably affect the revenue of other film companies. They want to nip Shengshi in the bud before it grows too big.

Another very important reason is that Huang Yuliang expanded too quickly, which made people in the underworld feel threatened, and they all united to try to take over Huang Yusheng's territory.

In short, it all comes down to this: money can be a powerful motivator.

It was the most ruthless and greedy people who were moved.

"Are you trying to scare me?" Hu Xiaoxiao asked with a light laugh.

Li Huishan's tone also became more amiable, "After all, we've had a past relationship, it's not to the point of certain death. If Miss Hu is willing to collaborate with Starlight again, Mr. Luo and Mr. Huang can sit down and talk about a collaboration. The audience in Baogang has been waiting for the release of 'The Hitman's Bodyguard 2.' Miss Hu, are you interested in collaborating with William again?"

"I'm sorry, I can't find the time. After filming the second part of 'Baogang Inspector Wears Skirts,' I have to prepare for the third part. My artists also have to make movies. I'm too busy."

Cooperation? Once, then twice, three times, four times...

How many people in Baogang don't know how greedy Luo Cheng is?

"That would be very disappointing," Li Huishan said regretfully.

“I thought Luo Sheng was a smart man,” Hu Xiaoxiao said. “I saw that Luo Sheng had been trying to change his image, and I thought he would clean up his act and come out of the mud. But I didn’t expect that something that was originally black can’t be cleaned up.”

"Miss Hu, aren't you afraid that your collaboration with Huang Yuliang will also turn you black?"

“We’ve been doing business honestly and without any threats or extortion.”

Although Huang Yuliang has recruited many people, he has also acquired a lot of businesses. He is gradually legalizing these businesses and placing his subordinates in various companies and departments, where they receive regular salaries.
