After getting in the car, I went straight back to the company, without rushing to the villa.
Upon arriving at the company, a private investigator was already waiting.
Looking at the report in his hand, Xing Baohua asked the private investigator, "How large is this Lianyi Gang?"
"There are about three hundred people, most of them are thugs. They have their own finance companies, small gambling dens, and they also run various shady businesses," the private investigator said.
"They're threatening me, what should I do?"
The private investigator chuckled at first, then, seeing the menacing bodyguards surrounding Xing Baohua, thought to himself, "This wealthy old man from the mainland wants to play the game of 'Crossing the River with a Dragon'."
However, he still gave Xing Baohua advice, since Xing Baohua had paid him to do so.
There are three types.
"Those three."
"First, call the police and wait for them to handle it."
"Does it work?" Xing Baohua asked with a disdainful expression.
"There is a certain probability that it will be effective."
"Let's talk about the second one!" At this time, there were probably not many good people in the Hong Kong police force. Who knows when the police will get their results?
"The second option is to go directly to the legal system. The prerequisite is that you have enough evidence and you also need to hire a good lawyer."
After listening to what the other party said, Xing Baohua lost interest and directly asked the other party to come up with a third option.
"The third option is also the most direct. I can tell you guys aren't pushovers. Go talk to their boss directly." When he said "talk," he even made a gun gesture with his finger, pointing it at his head.
With a slight smile, he added: "I can help you pinpoint their leader's location and then notify you."
Xing Baohua nodded and said okay.
The private investigator walked away happily with a check in his hand.
Xing Baohua then called Ms. Chen and asked her to come to his company.
After waiting for more than two hours, Ms. Chen arrived and apologized to Xing Baohua.
It was indeed her fault for not protecting the artist properly.
They also said that they have hired 14k camels to help coordinate, and there will be news in the next few days.
Xing Baohua asked, "Have you encountered this kind of thing before? How did you handle it?"
"They're just after money. I've encountered this a few times, and most of the time it's resolved by offering them tea. Or I can only agree to what they want, like making a film for them, and they'll pay me the full amount," Ms. Chen said.
"What kind of movie does Juanjuan want to film?" Xing Baohua asked.
"Ah Lang!"
"Ah Lang? Or Ah Lang's Story?" If Xing Baohua remembers correctly, there is indeed a film called Ah Lang's Story, which is one of Chow Yun-fat's representative works.
"It's not Ah Lang's story, it's Ah Lang, it seems to be a story about selling betel nuts." Miss Chen was too embarrassed to finish her sentence.
Xing Baohua knew immediately that it wasn't a serious play.
It's true that those kinds of films make money quickly, especially since Haser would enter the entertainment industry and launder his large sums of money from dubious sources.
This method was very common, especially in the 1970s, 80s and 90s, when these criminal gangs were most rampant.
Since we've provoked them, we should respond.
Will this kind of thing happen less often in the future?
Think of Andy Lau; he was also forced to film movies with a gun pointed at his head.
That silly, sweet Carina Lau. It seems her future husband, Mr. Leung, was also threatened into making the film.
The actor with a thousand faces, whose surname is also Liang, didn't he also obediently give in?
So, to succeed in Hong Kong, you really need real skills. And these skills aren't just about having money; you also need connections.
Xing Baohua just wanted to measure his muscles. He wanted to tell those involved in organized crime to stay away from him.
Otherwise, we'll make an example of them.
There's no need to wait until something goes wrong before offering tea and asking people to mediate; just go up there and kill them.
Tell Ms. Chen we don't need to find someone to mediate. He wants to flex his muscles, but now that he has money and connections, what's there to be afraid of!
After dismissing Ms. Chen, he brought in his own lawyer and bluntly told him that his artists were being threatened and he wanted to resolve the issue quickly.
Da Lu said, "Okay, I understand. Just do your job and don't rush ahead. Just pretend I was never here and didn't hear anything."
After saying that, he left, and Xing Baohua smiled. He knew that the lawyer had a plan.
That's enough, considering the annual fee is quite high. If the boss has something going on, he has to publicly support him, but he'll pretend not to know what's going on behind the scenes.
Xing Baohua returned to her villa after making these arrangements.
The security personnel were already in place, and Zou Wenjuan had also arranged for a female bodyguard.
The team members are all safe. Wang Weibao reported on recent work, saying that some thugs came to threaten us yesterday, saying that if Zou Wenjuan didn't act in their play tomorrow, we would have to bear the consequences.
They already knew who the other party was and who their leader was. The other party just wanted to bully Zou Wenjuan because she was from China and make some money off her.
Those involved in organized crime have their reasons for being confident; they're fearless with nothing to lose, and there are plenty of thugs out there.
If the authorities really intervene, they'll at most find a few henchmen to take the blame. These days, there are quite a few people who rely on working in gangs for a living (working in gangs usually means taking the blame for the gang and getting paid. Gangs with families will give the families of their incarcerated members a monthly allowance. Those without families will save it up and settle it all at once when they get out).
Those underlings often competed to sit in the hall, not only for the money, but also for the high status they would gain afterward.
Xing Baohua also knew that taking the legitimate route wouldn't serve as a deterrent, so he had no choice but to take the risk.
He called over a squad leader of bodyguards and said he wanted to see their boss to discuss a long-term business deal.
The security guard's boss arrived quickly; wealthy bigwigs like Xing Baohua were all high-quality clients.
They said they had long-term business dealings, and these were all big deals, so they rushed over as soon as they received the notification.
