Chapter 182: Simply Perfect

I'm afraid that they have nothing to do with Qiu Lihua and are just doing it for money.

Judging from their tone now, they seem quite familiar with each other?

It would be easy if they were familiar with each other. Either they had collaborated frequently or they were deeply involved. Either way, Qiu Lihua would be in big trouble.

After getting the information she wanted, Hu Xiaoxiao didn't waste any more words. When they came over and tried to kidnap her by force, she didn't show any mercy. She knocked all five of them unconscious and stuffed them all into the black van.

Hu Xiaoxiao is naturally strong. In the past year or two, he has been hanging out with people in the martial arts world and has learned a lot of real kung fu from various schools. It is very easy for him to take care of a few unsuspecting people.

Moreover, she had been waiting for this day for quite some time. She had thought Qiu Lihua would do something new or sinister, but she had not expected him to be so direct, which was the thing she was least afraid of.

However, for other women, this approach might really get them kidnapped by a few vicious men, and their lives would be ruined by them.

This was Qiu Lihua's sinister intention: to secretly capture indecent photos of her and release them to the media. While Hong Kong may appear to be an open society, it harbors a deeply conservative underbelly. For a celebrity, once indecent photos are released, their image is tarnished, their careers practically ruined, and they'll be unable to secure good opportunities again. Even if you're innocent, the spitting of criticism alone can be devastating, not to mention the skeptical stardom within the industry.

The competition in the industry is fierce, and there are limited resources. When nothing happens, they want to get rid of you, but once something happens, they will rush up like sharks and eat up all your resources.

When Hu Xiaoxiao discovered that someone was monitoring and peeping at her, she thought of many people who had a grudge against her or had snatched her resources. At first, she did not guess that it was Qiu Lihua's doing. After all, he had left the TV station and was out of her sight, so she could not think of it for a while.

Until she caught Guo Yuanqing, some people in the company's senior management secretly wanted to help Guo Yuanqing get rid of the crime. Later, under their manipulation, the matter of Guo Yuanqing's secret filming was dropped and he was just fired.

There is no one else except Qiu Lihua who has such influence in the company, affecting the senior management, and is someone she has offended.

After all, Qiu Lihua has been the general manager of the TV station for so many years. Even if he is no longer in the company, he still has one or two people he can use.

It was precisely because Qiu Lihua had served as general manager for so many years, and finally left in disgrace, that he couldn't bear it. So he had a malicious intention, wanting to ruin her reputation and cut off her career in the entertainment industry. He wanted to release the indecent photos, making her a laughing stock in Hong Kong and disgusting Hu Xiaoxiao at the same time.

Unexpectedly, the insidious move failed.

Later, Chang Wanming went to blackmail Guo Yuanqing. Guo Yuanqing lost his job and money, so he naturally went to Qiu Lihua to extort money.

Qiu Lihua lost his job and had a large sum of money extorted from him by Guo Yuanqing. He blamed all his faults and resentments on Hu Xiaoxiao and even considered Hu Xiaoxiao his mortal enemy.

When Hu Xiaoxiao learned that Qiu Lihua was the mastermind behind the incident, she had been waiting for him to make another move. He hadn't made any move, and since he'd already resigned, and the secret filming incident hadn't caused her any substantial harm, Hu Xiaoxiao really had no way to deal with him. After all, she really wanted to be a good person.

If Qiu Lihua had realized his mistake in time, stopped causing her trouble, and never met her in the entertainment industry again, this matter might have just been left unresolved.

Unfortunately, Qiu Lihua is not a broad-minded person - but then again, if he were a broad-minded person, he wouldn't have encountered such bad things before.

After Hu Xiaoxiao threw everyone into the van, he got into the driver's seat and drove the van out of the community.

It was late at night, and the road was clear and light with few cars. Hu Xiaoxiao was driving very fast. She looked at her watch and saw that it was still some time before her scheduled time.

No matter what happens, she can't be disturbed from going to bed on time.

So, she had to finish her work quickly and then go back to take a shower and go to bed.

The car sped all the way to a small house by the sea.

This was the place where a group of kidnappers had taken Hu Xiaoxiao before. Oh, and Xie Zhiheng was also there at the time.

Hu Xiaoxiao got out of the car, looked around, and nodded with satisfaction. It was indeed the first choice for criminals. The night was dark and windy, with few people around and the sea surging, making it a perfect place for doing evil.

He took out a flashlight from his bag, opened the car door, and met the vicious gazes of the five kidnappers. Hu Xiaoxiao pulled down one and beat him up; then he pulled down another and beat him up again...

He beat them until their eyes became clearer, then he dragged them into the hut.

"Who are you? What is your relationship with Qiu Lihua? What bad things have you helped him do? Also, what immoral things have you done in the past? What illegal things have you done? Tell me everything." Hu Xiaoxiao asked in a friendly manner.

The five kidnappers were deeply shocked that they failed to kidnap a woman and were kidnapped by a woman instead.

Even though they were controlled and beaten, they still looked down on and despised Hu Xiaoxiao from the bottom of their hearts.

They didn't answer. Could Hu Xiaoxiao have killed them? Qiu Lihua knew about them before they came out to work. If they died, Hu Xiaoxiao would be the one to be traced back to them immediately. Hu Xiaoxiao was a public figure; they didn't believe she would dare to kill anyone.

After Hu Xiaoxiao asked again in a friendly manner, he got five stubborn faces. They looked like five heroes with a strong sense of chivalry.

Hu Xiaoxiao looked at her watch again. It was getting late, so she should go back to take a shower and go to bed.

She returned to the van and dragged several bundles of rope prepared by the kidnappers into the cabin. She tore off their clothes to gag them and then hung them up with the ropes.

Hu Xiaoxiao actually particularly likes dealing with bad people. When facing bad people, the more evil things they do, the less guilt she feels when she takes action against them.

Even if she accidentally killed him, she would still be a good person who got rid of harm to the people.

After hanging them all up, Hu Xiaoxiao clapped his hands, not caring whether anyone would die, and drove back.

After returning home and taking a shower, it was time to go to bed. Hu Xiaoxiao rested comfortably for a night and went to work in high spirits the next day.

By the time she finished filming and went home, it was already afternoon.

She went to have another nice meal to reward herself for her hard work, and then she thought about the five kidnappers.

She took a tape recorder and a few tapes and drove the van back to the cabin. After being hung all night and half a day, the five gangsters were dying, breathing more out than in.

They were in great pain, hungry and thirsty. When they saw Hu Xiaoxiao, a rare flash of hope appeared in their eyes, and they begged with sobs.

Hu Xiaoxiao walked up to the man with the two dragons tattooed on his arm and asked, "Are you willing to answer? If not, I will respect your wishes and let you continue hanging. If you die, I will throw you into the sea—"

Absolutely perfect.
