Reborn in the Hong Kong entertainment industry in the 1980s

"I may not be able to cry out pearls, but maybe I can cry out diamonds?" The girl suddenly produced a paper-thin dagger and stabbed it towards Hu Xiaoxiao's hand.

The girl's face was no longer filled with the sadness and helplessness she had shown moments before; her eyes were now as fierce as a knife.

Hu Xiaoxiao loosened his grip, releasing the girl, but his leg was already raised, kicking her hard.

The girl was exceptionally agile, taking a step back to dodge and then slashing and stabbing at Hu Xiaoxiao with her dart knife, her eyes never leaving the huge diamond necklace on Hu Xiaoxiao's body and the beautiful ring on her finger.

The girl was ruthless, but Hu Xiaoxiao was no saint either. In the tense battle of attack and defense in the confined space, he was quick-witted and agile. He circled behind the girl, grabbed a handful of her hair, and pulled hard.

"Hiss—" The girl felt as if her scalp was being ripped off in pain. She involuntarily took a step back, then stabbed Hu Xiaoxiao with her dart knife in the backhand.

But Hu Xiaoxiao reacted quickly, raising her hand to dodge the dart, and then pulling the girl by the hair and dragging her backward.

The girl staggered, then swung her dart back at the root of a clump of hair that had been grabbed, severing it.

After standing still, the girl reached out and touched her hair. A large strand of her carefully maintained, beautiful blonde hair was missing, and she knew without looking in a mirror that it looked terrible.

"You're asking for it!" The girl was furious and attacked Hu Xiaoxiao recklessly.

"Alice!" Dave arrived with two companions, just in time to see the two women fighting fiercely.

Hu Xiaoxiao has keen senses. When she first heard footsteps, she thought it was a police officer. However, she didn't expect it to be an accomplice of thieves. She noticed that the person was carrying a gun, kicked Alice away, and quickly left.

Alice cried out, "Dave! Grab her! The jewels are on her!"

Dave had already seen it. He picked up his pistol and chased after them, deciding to shoot Hu Xiaoxiao first so they could take the jewelry.

His two companions, along with Alice, followed in pursuit.

They were moving very fast. Hearing their footsteps, Hu Xiaoxiao quickened her pace, running faster than ever before, knowing that the people chasing her were armed.

Hu Xiaoxiao ran around a corner and, as she passed a potted plant in the corridor, grabbed a few pieces of gravel from the top of the pot.

The convention center was crowded with people, and it would be easier to escape if you went to a crowded area. However, Hu Xiaoxiao had concerns and dared not go to crowded places, fearing that the thieves might go crazy and start shooting indiscriminately.

Hu Xiaoxiao quickly recalled the topographical map of the convention center. Although the decoration and design of each floor of the convention center were different, the locations of escape routes, elevators, and restrooms were fixed, and the roads surrounding these places were interconnected to facilitate the use of exhibitors.

Hearing the footsteps getting closer, Hu Xiaoxiao turned and ran towards the less crowded escape route. When she caught sight of the thief behind her, she pulled the rubber band off her hair, used it as a slingshot, and fired pebbles at Dave, who appeared at the front of the corridor.

Hu Xiaoxiao learned all eighteen martial arts skills when she was learning martial arts at the TV station, and she also learned archery from a professional teacher when filming "Mu Guiying".

I played with bullets for a while, and I still feel good about them. A pebble hit Dave in the eye, and I heard Dave cry out in pain. I lost control of my gun and fired a shot.

A sudden gunshot rang out, carrying far through the corridor.

Taking advantage of Dave's pause, Hu Xiaoxiao once again increased the distance between them. As they reached the escape route, the fire door suddenly opened, and a pistol appeared, pointed at Hu Xiaoxiao.

Hu Xiaoxiao's breath hitched, and the stone she was holding was about to shoot out—

"Xiaoxiao?" The person who came over with the gun was Steven. When he saw Hu Xiaoxiao in front of him, he immediately put down the gun and said, "I just heard a gunshot. Are you alright?"

Seeing Steven and the officers behind him, Hu Xiaoxiao breathed a long sigh of relief, "You've finally arrived."

After leaving the command center and changing the plan, Steven personally led a team to guard the jewelry show. Just as they brought the situation under control, they heard that Hu Xiaoxiao had been chased downstairs by a group of thieves, so he immediately led his men down through the nearest escape route.

Just as he reached this floor, gunshots rang out. Steven's heart clenched, and he nearly stumbled and fell down the stairs.

Hu Xiaoxiao pointed out the shooter and the location to Steven, saying, "There were four of them, three men and one woman, all tough guys."

"Leave the rest to us." Steven selected two teams of his experienced men and ordered them to split into several groups and flank the enemy.

This gang of thieves has guns and must be apprehended as soon as possible; otherwise, if they run into the convention center or show venue, things will get out of control.

If any casualties occur at the convention center, it would be a huge scandal for this international jewelry exhibition.

Steven gave a series of orders into the walkie-talkie. He knew every floor of the convention center better than Hu Xiaoxiao. From the direction Hu Xiaoxiao pointed, he could roughly know where Dave and his group were, where to surround them, and how to capture them.

After the orders were issued, the people below acted quickly. Just then, the Flying Tigers that Steven had requested arrived, and the situation was stabilized.

Taking advantage of this rare free time, Hu Xiaoxiao asked about Steven's situation, and Steven briefly told Hu Xiaoxiao what had happened.

He looked down at Hu Xiaoxiao with a complicated expression and said, "Luckily, you helped me hold off that gang of thieves, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to take control of the situation so quickly. Xiaoxiao, thank you."

If Hu Xiaoxiao hadn't risked her life to get involved and draw all the fire, he wouldn't have been able to take control of the situation so quickly, and many valuable jewels would have been stolen from the convention center and disappeared.

“What’s the point of being so polite with us? I’m sure you’d be there to help me if I were in trouble,” Hu Xiaoxiao said confidently, offering Steven a few words of comfort.

Although Steven did not elaborate on the security situation, she had dealt with the Hong Kong government for so many years, how could she not know Steven's difficulties?

Even though Steven holds a high position now, the upper echelons of Baogang are still dominated by foreigners, and everything must be done according to their wishes. These foreigners, in turn, look down on the people of Baogang, displaying an arrogant and condescending attitude. Even though Steven is in charge of security for this year's international jewelry exhibition, those foreigners might still come and interfere. Not to mention, this jewelry exhibition has been targeted by major international thieves, who are manipulating things behind the scenes, bribing countless people. Hu Xiaoxiao doesn't even know how many people are involved in today's events.

Steven smiled gently after hearing Hu Xiaoxiao's words of comfort. His previously furrowed brows relaxed considerably. He held out his palm and said, "I won't thank you enough."

"Then please have dinner!" Hu Xiaoxiao reached out and shook his hand, smiling.

However, before she could even laugh for a second, Hu Xiaoxiao suddenly realized, "Oh no! The jewelry show has already started!"
