Chapter 373: Tooth for Tooth

Not to mention just the reputation of the Yi Hai Gang, even if Luo Cheng herself is here, anyone who dares to touch her will pay the price.

Hu Xiaoxiao has a bottom line.

Don't be fooled by her usual easygoing demeanor, but once you get past her limits, she won't care who you are or where you come from. She's truly capable of anything, whether it's human or not.

When Hu Xiaoxiao's car crashed into the two motorcycles, it not only knocked them off their feet but also sent their belongings flying everywhere. A box of firecrackers that had been on the motorcycle also fell to the ground, with one string lying at Hu Xiaoxiao's feet.

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

The gangsters on the ground had a bad feeling, but they also thought that no matter what, Hu Xiaoxiao was a woman, and she would probably give the Yi Hai Gang some face and not do anything to them. They also did what the boss said.

Hu Xiaoxiao handed the firecrackers in his hand to the security captain and told him: "Drag a few trash cans over there, put one for each of them, put the firecrackers in the trash can, and then throw the firecrackers into the trash can. Remember to close the lid, it will be fun."

Don't they love to play? Don't they love to throw firecrackers at others? Then try being blown up by firecrackers yourself.

Look how kind she is, she actually lets them play whatever they like.

The faces of the gangsters changed, and their tone softened. "Ms. Hu, no, Sister Xiao, let's talk it over. We won't come to collect protection money anymore, okay?"

"If you don't come to collect them, another group will come, right? Don't do to others what you don't want done to you. It's too late to be scared now." Hu Xiaoxiao saw Xiong Caiwei was still a little dazed and frightened, and her anger flared up again. She pointed at the firecrackers scattered on the ground and said to the security captain, "I see there are quite a lot of firecrackers here. Don't waste them. Pick them up and give each of them a share."

The security guard was very experienced in this kind of revenge. He tied up the man, gagged him, dragged over a trash can half the height of a person, stuffed the gangsters into the trash can one by one, then lit firecrackers and threw them in, then closed the lid and locked it.

Suddenly, there was a burst of firecrackers in the trash can, as well as the sound of a few gangsters yelling.

They brought a box of firecrackers, hoping to scare the crew into paying for safety. The box of firecrackers was divided equally among them, and they were in a state of disarray for a while.

Hu Xiaoxiao took a few glances, returned to the car, rolled up the window to block out a lot of noise, then picked up the phone and called Li Huishan.

Li Huishan heard Hu Xiaoxiao's voice and asked with a smile, "How did such a big star find time to come to me?"

Hu Xiaoxiao also smiled and replied: "I came to find you to question you."

Li Huishan said, "I don't know which of the brothers below has offended you. I hope you can be more tolerant for Luo Sheng's sake."

Tolerance? Hu Xiaoxiao knew what they meant by the tone of their voice.

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

Li Huishan was silent for a moment and said, "What's wrong with offending your brother?"

"I won't die." Hu Xiaoxiao rolled down the window. The firecrackers had already finished going off, and the air still lingered with the smell of sulfur. "But if anyone is so blind and bullies me again next time, I won't be so easy on them."

"Miss Hu's temper has worsened since we last met."

"My temper has always been like this. 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 of my female artists, I didn't kill you, so you're lucky. But as I said, if there is a next time, even luck won't save them."

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

"Well, it depends on whether you know what's good for you. It's just a district council. At worst, I can just quit. I can even stop 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 line, Li Huishan chuckled twice. His voice was gentle, yet a note of warning lingered in his tone. "You're alone, or how many people are there in Shengshi? You've narrowed the path, becoming a public enemy. How can you fight four fists with two hands? Miss Hu, this business is a shared endeavor. If you eat your share and leave others hungry, who knows what those starving people might do."

After hearing this, Hu Xiaoxiao realized that the previous movie was so popular at the box office that several companies went bankrupt, and they were holding a grudge against her. Now that her new movie was popular again, they came to cause trouble.

Of course, things are not that simple.

Shengshi cultivated several celebrities with a certain degree of fame, recruited several directors, and opened up new departments, preparing to expand the market. This inevitably affected the profits of other film companies. They wanted to strangle Shengshi before it could grow.

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

In short, as the saying goes, money can move people's hearts.

It is the hearts of the most ruthless and money-greedy people that are moved.

"Are you trying to intimidate me?" Hu Xiaoxiao asked with a chuckle.

Li Huishan's tone softened. "We have a history of friendship, and it's not a dead end. If Ms. Hu is willing to work with Starlight again, Mr. Luo and Mr. Huang can sit down and discuss a possible collaboration. Baogang audiences have been eagerly awaiting the release of the second season of 'The Hitman's Bodyguard.' Is Ms. Hu interested in working with William again?"

"I'm sorry, I can't spare the time. After finishing the second part of 'The Queen of Hong Kong', I have to prepare for the third part. My artists also have to start movies, so I'm too busy."

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

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

"That's so disappointing." Li Huishan said regretfully.

"I thought Luo Sheng was a smart guy," Hu Xiaoxiao said. "I saw Luo Sheng trying to change his ways, and I thought he'd be able to clean up his act. But I never imagined that something so black could be cleaned up."

"Ms. Hu is collaborating with Huang Yuliang, aren't you afraid that your hair will also be dyed black?"

"We are doing business honestly and have never threatened anyone or forced them to pay protection money."

Although Huang Yuliang has recruited many people and industries, he is gradually legalizing these industries and arranging his subordinates into various companies and departments, receiving regular salaries.
