Reborn in the Hong Kong entertainment industry in the 1980s

After obtaining information about the international thieves from ICPO, Steven frowned even more deeply. There were three notorious thieves, two men and one woman. Apart from knowing their genders, he had very little other detailed information, leaving him at a loss as to where to begin.

These are just the three most notorious thieves, but far more than just these three are here for this international jewelry exhibition. Perhaps every famous thief in the world has their eyes on the Baogang International Jewelry Exhibition. Not to mention, Baogang's security situation is already far from ideal.

However, this international jewelry exhibition cannot be cancelled.

Steven devised several security plans. He not only personally visited the venue of the international jewelry exhibition several times to familiarize himself with every corner and memorize it, but also strengthened security at customs to ensure that these international thieves could be identified as soon as they entered Hong Kong Airport.

To quell external threats, one must first secure internal stability. Steven decided to visit several major gangs in Baogang to ensure they behaved themselves during the international jewelry exhibition and didn't cause any trouble. Otherwise, they shouldn't blame him for giving them a hard time.

Although the triads are rampant in Baogang, no gang dares to openly oppose the police. Any confrontations are usually covert. Those in the underworld know to leave room for maneuver, so they can make peace in the future. Once relations are completely broken, the consequences are never something anyone wants to see.

Steven first visited Huang Yuliang. Although they didn't have much contact on the surface because of Hu Xiaoxiao, their relationship behind the scenes was still acceptable.

Huang Yuliang naturally gave his full support to Steven, saying he would restrain his subordinates and the gangs that joined him.

Then Steven went to see Luo Cheng, the chairman of Yi Hai Group, who had already gone through the legal process. Since Luo Cheng was on the path of going through the legal process, he would naturally no longer oppose the police and also said that he would keep his subordinates in check.

Steven also visited the other clubs, some of whom gave him face, while others did not.

For those who showed him respect, Steven returned the courtesy in kind. But for those who didn't, Steven didn't stand on ceremony and organized a large-scale security operation, dismantling many criminal gangs.

The two most unscrupulous and largest criminal gangs in Baogang—the Sanren Gang and the Qinglong Gang—have been wiped out by Huang Yuliang. The remaining smaller forces are not a threat, and Steven can easily deal with them.

After a period of rectification, the public security situation in Baogang has improved significantly.

With ample preparation, the Baogang International Jewelry Fair finally began, with international jewelers bringing their precious jewelry to Baogang for a three-day exhibition.

The international jewelry exhibition was held at the Baogang Convention and Exhibition Centre. Hu Xiaoxiao received the invitation card for the jewelry exhibition half a month before the exhibition started.

Hu Xiaoxiao enjoys buying jewelry and is a VIP customer of Baogang Jewelry Fair. Such a capable and well-known consumer is exactly the kind of customer that jewelry fairs need most.

As a rare and grand event in Baogang, many guests who received invitation cards came to the International Jewelry Fair.

The first day of the international jewelry exhibition was packed with visitors.

Hu Xiaoxiao arrived at the convention center dressed casually and went through multiple security checks. Her face was her best calling card; the security personnel let her in without even looking at her invitation card. Who in Baogang didn't know who Hu Xiaoxiao was? The staff at the convention center had received the invitation to the jewelry exhibition well in advance. Her unparalleled beauty was more convincing than any document.

Hu Xiaoxiao met Steven at the jewelry exhibition.

Steven was dressed casually, wearing a white shirt underneath a casual black suit, looking no different from any other guest visiting the jewelry exhibition.

"Steven, you're here too?" Upon seeing an acquaintance, Hu Xiaoxiao went over to greet him warmly.

Steven turned around, saw Hu Xiaoxiao, and smiled, "You're here too? Come on, I'll show you around."

As they got closer, Hu Xiaoxiao noticed the headset on Steven's ear and knew that he was probably at the jewelry exhibition for work. She joked, "You're accompanying me to a jewelry store during work hours? Aren't you afraid your colleagues will say you're not doing your job properly?"

"I call this stealing a moment of leisure from my busy schedule," Steven said, but his eyes, though seemingly casually glancing at the guests, had already taken in everything. When he encountered anything unusual, he quickly used a portable walkie-talkie hidden in his casual suit to communicate with his colleagues.

Steven was among the potential guests so that he could more easily observe the situation at the exhibition, and walking with Hu Xiaoxiao made him appear more natural and at ease.

The jewelry exhibition hall closest to the entrance is a Middle Eastern-style jewelry exhibition, featuring products from well-known Middle Eastern jewelers.

Hu Xiaoxiao passed by and was immediately attracted by the dazzling jewelry. She went inside with Steven.

A key characteristic of Middle Eastern jewelry is its opulence, with vibrant and extravagant colors that emphasize striking visual impact. Intricate geometric patterns are adorned with a variety of brightly colored gemstones, creating an extremely luxurious and eye-catching piece.

Hu Xiaoxiao stopped in front of several sets of extravagant and flamboyant jewelry, her eyes shining, especially a set of pigeon blood red necklace, the deep red gemstones like burning flames, full of passionate and unrestrained temperament.

"Can I take a look?" Hu Xiaoxiao asked the staff in front of the display case.

Although the staff member was from the Middle East, they recognized the beautiful Hong Kong star and said warmly, "Yes, Ms. Hu, it would be my pleasure to serve you."

The gloved staff member took out the necklace and presented it to Hu Xiaoxiao.

Upon closer inspection, the necklace looked even more beautiful. Steven walked over and, seeing how much Hu Xiaoxiao liked it, said, "You can try it on."

After saying that, he put on gloves, took the necklace from the staff, and put it on Hu Xiaoxiao.

Hu Xiaoxiao has a long, slender neck that is fair and delicate, so even the most extravagant necklaces can be worn with grace. Coupled with her unique aura, jewelry worn on her seems to become even more expensive.

Steven's eyes revealed deep admiration. "It suits you very well."

The staff members nearby were also amazed and took the initiative to bring over several other sets of gorgeous jewelry for Hu Xiaoxiao to try on.

Hu Xiaoxiao stood in front of the mirror, admiring the beautiful sets of jewelry.

Hu Xiaoxiao is well-suited to this exaggerated and glamorous style, appearing particularly elegant and radiant. She has her eye on a set of Ottoman-style jewelry, which is inlaid with various colorful gemstones in the shape of flowers, with an exaggerated design that is both bold and unrestrained.

After putting on the necklace, she also put on the matching earrings, looked at herself in the mirror with satisfaction, and turned to ask Steven beside her, "Does it look good?"

"Beautiful." Steven couldn't take his eyes off her; she was as beautiful as a princess who had stepped out of a palace. Even nearby tourists were attracted and came over.
