Reborn in the Hong Kong entertainment industry in the 1980s

Xie Zhiheng was crying and hiccuping when he was stunned by this sudden turn of events.

The bald man was also stunned for a moment, not understanding how Hu Xiaoxiao had broken free of the tape. He quickly reached for his gun at his waist.

Hu Xiaoxiao had already lifted the sinister-looking man on the ground with one hand and slammed him onto the bald man, knocking him to the ground. Then she stepped forward and kicked him in the head, followed by a high-heeled kick that made the bald man lose consciousness.

The sinister man's head was buzzing, and his face was still burning with pain. After being swung up and smashed by Hu Xiaoxiao, other parts of his body were also burning with pain.

A fierce glint flashed across his face as he crawled over to grab the pistol from the bald man's waist.

Just as they were about to get it, Hu Xiaoxiao grabbed his hair and dragged him over, leaving a trail on the muddy ground.

Xie Zhiheng was dumbfounded, his scalp tingled, and he felt like the top of his head was about to fly off.

The sinister man tried to resist, but Hu Xiaoxiao slapped him across the other side of his face. Instantly, his entire face swelled up visibly.

Hu Xiaoxiao kicked again, knocking the sinister man unconscious.

Hu Xiaoxiao stretched out her palm and felt that the hand that had grabbed the man's hair was oily and greasy, which made her frown: How long has it been since he washed his hair?

"Xiaoxiao, Xiaoxiao, save me, save me—" Xie Zhiheng finally came to his senses and begged Hu Xiaoxiao for help.

Hu Xiaoxiao walked up to Xie Zhiheng, pulled his clothes over, wiped her hands clean, and then untied his hands from behind.

Xie Zhiheng then noticed a wad of torn tape in the corner, clearly the tape he had used to tie Hu Xiaoxiao up earlier. His gaze towards Hu Xiaoxiao was a mixture of shock and unfamiliarity: "How can you be so strong?"

Hu Xiaoxiao said, "I died once, my bones and flesh were shattered. After I came back to life, my bones became strong and my skin improved."

Xie Zhiheng tried to understand, but he still couldn't. He thought that too much had happened today, and his mind wasn't working properly; he couldn't understand what was being said. What did he mean by "dead and alive again, alive and energetic"? Had he been so frightened that he had a concussion and couldn't understand human speech?

Seeing Hu Xiaoxiao reach for the pistol, he quickly ran over and snatched it away, shouting, "This thing is dangerous, it could easily go off!"

"You know how to use it?" Hu Xiaoxiao was very curious about this thing that posed a danger to her.

Xie Zhiheng shook his head, "Because it's too dangerous, I'm afraid of accidental discharge, so I haven't learned it."

Hu Xiaoxiao had a hard time explaining: "You're really useless."

Xie Zhiheng's self-esteem was deeply hurt. In the past, he would have argued back, but thinking about what happened today, he felt that he didn't deserve self-esteem.

He tossed the pistol aside, followed closely behind Hu Xiaoxiao, and asked, "Xiaoxiao, what should we do next?"

Hu Xiaoxiao found the old mobile phone and dialed a familiar number.

Steven's voice came from the other end of the phone, "Hello?"

Hu Xiaoxiao asked, "Do you want to get promoted and make a fortune?"

Steven recognized Hu Xiaoxiao's voice and couldn't help but laugh, teasingly asking, "What, thinking of reporting me again?"

"It's not a report, it's a police report. Xie Zhiheng and I have been kidnapped. Didn't you receive the message?"

"What?" Steven's voice was tense. "What did you say? You've been kidnapped? With whom?"

"Xie Zhiheng, Xie Lisheng's only son and spendthrift son."

After Steven figured out the situation, he said, "I guess the higher-ups have blocked the news, afraid of angering the kidnappers. Xiaoxiao, what's the situation with you now? Have you been captured by the kidnappers? No, where did you get this phone number? How can you still make phone calls? Also, where are you now, and what exactly is going on?"

Hu Xiaoxiao asked Xie Zhiheng, "Where is this place?"

Xie Zhiheng glanced outside a few times and said, "It should be in Xiwang. I think I passed by here a few times when I used to ride speedboats..."

Hu Xiaoxiao told Steven, "We'll talk about the rest when we meet. We're at an abandoned pier in West Bay right now. They have guns, a lot of people, and boats."

"You hide first, I'll be there right away. Be careful! Make sure you're well hidden! Wait for me!" Steven repeatedly reminded him before hanging up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Hu Xiaoxiao handed the mobile phone to Xie Zhiheng, "Do you want to call your dad to let him know you're safe?"

Xie Zhiheng took it, thought for a moment, and then handed it back to Hu Xiaoxiao. "Let's not fight anymore. What if the other kidnappers find out we're free and come back to kill us? Anyway, there's no rush."

While the two kidnappers who had gone to check the boat had not yet returned and the other kidnappers had not yet gathered, the two men used duct tape to tie up the two clueless kidnappers, gagged them, and left the tin shack.

There are two places to hide outside: one is the rocky area by the sea, and the other is the small hill not far from the pier.

Hu Xiaoxiao thought the hill was too far away and told Xie Zhiheng to take off his shoes.

"Why are you taking off my shoes?" Xie Zhiheng asked as he took off his shoes.

Hu Xiaoxiao took his two shoes, threw them onto the road over the hill, and then headed towards the sea.

Xie Zhiheng was barefoot, and the stones on the ground hurt the soles of his feet. He glanced at Hu Xiaoxiao's shoes, then wisely shut his mouth and followed.

The police arrived quickly, finding the location in less than half an hour. Meanwhile, the kidnappers in the other two vehicles also met up at the tin shack.

The two sides began exchanging fire as soon as they met.

Hu Xiaoxiao watched from a distance for a while, marveling at the intensity of the gunfire; the tin shack had been riddled with bullets.

The police and criminals fought for half an hour before stopping. When Steven found the two, Hu Xiaoxiao was sitting on a rock, picking her nails out of boredom, while Xie Zhiheng was staring blankly and picking at his toes.

After the kidnapping, Xie Zhiheng was imprisoned by the Xie family, while Hu Xiaoxiao continued working as usual. However, she encountered Xie Lisheng at a charity gala.

Xie Lisheng personally came to apologize to Hu Xiaoxiao and express his gratitude.

"I owe Zhiheng's matter a great debt to Miss Hu. I am deeply grateful. I was too prejudiced before, and I hope Miss Hu will forgive me if I offended you. As for the land in Liantangling, I was short-sighted. Seeing that Miss Hu was so young, I did not believe in Miss Hu's abilities. I was wrong, very wrong."

Upon hearing this, Hu Xiaoxiao asked, "Has there been any change to the land at Liantangling?"

Seeing that no one was around, Xie Lisheng told Hu Xiaoxiao some inside information: "I received news that a new subway line will be added, which will pass near Liantangling. Once the news is confirmed, the value of Liantangling will be immeasurable."

Hu Xiaoxiao suddenly realized that good fortune comes from good roads; no wonder that piece of land had such good luck. "Congratulations, Mr. Xie! After you become rich, remember to do more good deeds."

"Definitely, definitely." Xie Lisheng readily agreed, secretly thinking that if it weren't for his spendthrift son following Hu Xiaoxiao around donating money every day, he wouldn't have this opportunity to make money. "For tonight's charity donation, Miss Hu, just name an amount, and I will donate it on the spot."

Hu Xiaoxiao immediately perked up, "I'll go call Chairman Dou and ask him how much he wants..."
