As they walked, Liu Xiaobao whispered to Su Jie beside him, "Including those inside, there are at least five hundred people here. Can you handle it?"

Su Jie said with a serious expression, "It will be difficult, and once a fight breaks out, I'm afraid I won't be able to protect you and Miss Xuezhi."

Liu Xiaobao seemed to have anticipated this outcome, and he did not show any disappointment. He simply gave Su Jie a word of advice.

"Then don't do anything. Just protect Xuezhi's safety and leave everything else to me!"

Su Jie responded subtly, "Understood!"

In the time it took to say those few words, Liu Xiaobao and Su Jie had already reached the middle of the warehouse. Seeing Xuezhi bound, Liu Xiaobao immediately quickened his pace and walked towards her.

The man in white saw Liu Xiaobao walking ahead, locked his gaze on Liu Xiaobao, and asked, "Are you Mr. Bao, the boss of Tianbao Group?"

01 Ignoring the hundreds of people in the warehouse and the man in white, Liu Xiaobao went straight to Xuezhi and untied the ropes binding her.

Looking at the slap mark on Xuezhi's face, Liu Xiaobao felt a pang of heartache, but he also knew that this was not the time to talk about romance.

But Xuezhi didn't care about any of that. After Liu Xiaobao untied her, she immediately threw herself into Liu Xiaobao's arms: "You're so silly, why did you risk your life to come here for me?"

Liu Xiaobao didn't respond to her words, but gently patted her back twice, then gently pulled her to Su Jie's side behind him.

At this moment, Liu Xiaobao turned his gaze to the white-clad man who was still drinking red wine and calmly said, "That's right, I am the boss of Tianbao Group, and you are their person in charge?"

The man in white nodded: "Yes, it was I who invited Mr. Bao to come and meet me."

Liu Xiaobao casually asked, "Did you slap her across the face?"

The man in white was stunned. He probably didn't expect that Liu Xiaobao would care about the slap on Xuezhi's face at this moment.

Just then, Jackal spoke up: "I was the one who slapped you, so what? You have a problem with that?"

Liu Xiaobao turned to look at Jackal Brother, then coldly added, "Very well, I'll take your hand!"

Jackal didn't understand why Liu Xiaobao dared to speak so harshly to him despite being at such a disadvantage, but he was genuinely frightened by Liu Xiaobao's eyes and words. He could sense that Liu Xiaobao was very serious, as if his hand had truly been reserved by Liu Xiaobao.

Just as Jackal was about to reprimand Liu Xiaobao, Liu Xiaobao turned back to speak to the man in white, seemingly unconcerned about Jackal.

Liu Xiaobao then asked the man in white, "Speak, what do you want to talk to me about?"

The man in white put down his wine glass, clapped his hands, and said.

"Your composure in the face of danger is truly admirable, Mr. Bao. Although I don't know what your backing is, Mr. Bao, since I've invited you here today, this matter must be settled. I've only called you here today for one thing: your company broke the rules, causing us huge losses. Therefore, your company must receive the punishment it deserves. Do you understand what I mean, Mr. Bao?"

Liu Xiaobao calmly replied, "Name your terms!"

Although the man in white admired Liu Xiaobao's courage, he didn't continue to praise him. He picked up a contract from the wooden table and said to Liu Xiaobao.

"First, transfer all the artists under your Tianbao Entertainment Company to me. Also, you are not allowed to offer any more 30/70 revenue splits when signing other artists. Can you accept that, Mr. Bao?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Xiaobao didn't look at the contract, but simply smiled slightly: "What if I can't accept it?"

The man in white gave a cold laugh: "Then, Mr. Bao, you probably won't be leaving this dock today!"

Liu Xiaobao wasn't intimidated. Instead, he smiled slightly and said, "So it seems that if I want to live, I have no choice but to accept your conditions. There's no other option, is there?"

The man in white nodded: "That's right, you can understand it that way!"

Liu Xiaobao stared at the man in white for several seconds before replying, "Fine, I can agree to your conditions, but you must give me an explanation for what happened today!"

The man in white was taken aback for a moment: "Oh? Mr. Bao, are you upset that I wasn't polite enough in inviting you here today? Fine, I apologize for what happened tonight!"

Liu Xiaobao shook his head, then pointed at Jackal Brother and said to the man in white.

"No, I don't care about the way you invited me to meet. What I care about is that he hit my people. If you want me to agree to your conditions, then I will cut off the hand that hit him. Otherwise, your conditions are off the table. Even if you kill us, you can forget about getting those stars under my company. I have made my words clear. You can decide for yourself what is more important!"

Upon hearing this, the man in white glanced at Jackal.

Upon being stared at by the man in white, Jackal shuddered and blurted out, "Boss, you're not really going to cut off my hand, are you? No, boss, I've always been loyal to you. You can't cut off my hand for an outsider!"

The man in white seemed to ignore Jackal Brother's pleas for mercy, then turned to Liu Xiaobao and asked, "Nothing to discuss?"

Liu Xiaobao replied firmly, "There's no room for negotiation. I only have one request: if you complete the task, I will agree to your conditions. If you don't, then you can come and take my life!"

The man in white fell silent, clearly contemplating his decision.

At this moment, Liu Xiaobao was actually gambling; he was gambling that the man in white wouldn't take his life.

Because Liu Xiaobao knew very well that although there was a conflict of interest between them, there was no deep-seated hatred between them, and the man in white had no idea about Liu Xiaobao's background, otherwise the man in white would not have provoked him like this. Therefore, Liu Xiaobao bet that the man in white would choose the more practical benefit.

One minute later, Liu Xiaobao won the bet.

Just as Liu Xiaobao had predicted, the man in white chose the more tangible benefits over Liu Xiaobao's life.

The man in white said to Jackal, "For the sake of the gang's interests, Jackal, you'd better make a sacrifice!"

After saying that, amidst Jackal Brother's terrified pleas for mercy, the man in white gave a look to his henchmen who were holding knives.

The henchmen understood the white-clad man's meaning. Several of them stepped forward and forcibly restrained Jackal Brother. One of the henchmen then swiftly raised his knife and severed Jackal Brother's right hand at the wrist. Jackal Brother cried out in pain and then immediately lost consciousness.

The man in white waved his hand, and his underlings carried Jackal away for treatment. At this moment, the man in white smiled and asked Liu Xiaobao.

"Is Mr. Bao satisfied now? Can we sign the contract now?"

After the man in white finished speaking, Liu Xiaobao did not hesitate at all and immediately added his name to the contract.

Seeing this, the man in white was taken aback again: "President Bao is so straightforward, aren't you afraid that I'll go back on my word after I have this contract and won't let you leave?"

Liu Xiaobao met the white-clad man's suspicious gaze and answered calmly.

"Now that the matter is settled, why should I waste my time here with you? Wouldn't it be easier to leave sooner by signing the contract? As for your claim of going back on your word, I believe you're not so foolish as to think you can take away all the artists in my company with just a contract, are you? Without my and Xuezhi's authorization, they won't recognize your contract."

The man in white hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Mr. Bao is right. When I go to Tianbao Group tomorrow to fulfill the contract and hand over the work to you, I hope you can cooperate."

"Don't worry, I won't go back on my promise. I don't want today's events to happen again. Can we leave now?"

This time, the man in white did not hesitate and immediately made a gesture of farewell: "Please go ahead, Mr. Bao!"

Seeing this, Liu Xiaobao did not hesitate. He turned around and helped up the twenty injured thugs from the casino. Then he led Su Jie and Xue Zhi out of the warehouse. Along the way, the gangsters with knives moved aside to make way for Liu Xiaobao and his group.

After Liu Xiaobao and his group left the warehouse, one of the henchmen approached the man in white and asked, "Boss, are you really just going to let them leave like this? Aren't you afraid they'll go back on their word?"

The man in white shook his head confidently: "This Mr. Bao is a smart man. He knows very well that if we can catch that woman today, we can catch her tomorrow as well. As long as he doesn't want that woman to get into trouble again, he won't dare to deny it. For a businessman like him, it's just a matter of losing money to avoid disaster. He won't dare to play any tricks on us again!"

After hearing the white-clad man's words, the henchman smiled and flattered him, "Big Brother is indeed Big Brother, he sees further than us!"

After Liu Xiaobao took the injured people to the hospital and paid all the medical fees, he then took Xuezhi back to No. 9 in the mountain top area.

The reason Liu Xiaobao didn't send Xuezhi back to her own residence was because he was worried that someone else might make a move.

When Liu Xiaobao brought Xuezhi home, Xuezhi was very sensible and did not tell the truth when Zhou Huimin asked her. She only made an excuse that her house had been burgled and she was a little scared, so she came here to stay for the night.

He Chaoqiong naturally didn't believe Xuezhi's words, but Zhou Huimin was a very simple woman. She didn't doubt Xuezhi's words. Instead, she comforted Xuezhi for a few words and then led Xuezhi to the guest room to settle in.

At this moment, only He Chaoqiong, Liu Xiaobao, and Su Jie were in the living room. He Chaoqiong asked Liu Xiaobao, "What exactly happened?"

Liu Xiaobao no longer hid anything from He Chaoqiong and told her everything that had happened that night.

After listening to Liu Xiaobao's account, He Chaoqiong gritted her teeth and asked, "Do you know who the other party is?"

Liu Xiaobao smiled slightly: "What, do you want to use your father-in-law's power to take revenge?"

He Chaoqiong nodded and replied, "Of course, when someone bullies you to the point of being humiliated, you can't just pretend nothing happened. Otherwise, similar incidents will surely keep happening in the future. Are you going to choose to tolerate it every time, my husband?"

Liu Xiaobao gently stroked He Chaoqiong's face and laughed, "Tolerate? Your husband isn't the kind of person who chooses to tolerate everything. But we don't need to alarm your father-in-law about this. After all, his influence is in the gambling city, while this is Hong Kong. Even a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake!"

He Chaoqiong calmed down and asked curiously, "So, honey, what are you planning to do? Are you really going to give those artists to them?"

Liu Xiaobao's lips curled up, revealing a wicked smile.

"How could that be? The name I signed on the contract just now wasn't mine at all. Don't worry, honey, I won't act rashly. I will use our advantages to resolve this crisis and deter other underground forces."

He Chaoqiong asked doubtfully, "What advantages do we have? What advantages do we have? Do you, husband, have an underground force in Hong Kong?"

Liu Xiaobao shook his head and laughed, "No, not really. But wife, you seem to have forgotten that what we have the most of isn't people, but money!"

After Liu Xiaobao's direct explanation, He Chaoqiong finally understood what he was up to: "Husband, are you going to use underhanded tactics? Use money to pave the way and get someone else to settle this for us?"

Liu Xiaobao said frankly, "That's right, I will let everyone know that if they want to mess with us, they'd better be prepared to be hunted down by the whole world!"

He Chaoqiong didn't object to Liu Xiaobao, but she did offer him a slightly worried reminder.

“Honey, if you do this, it’s like you’re announcing your wealth to everyone. Once your wealth is exposed, I’m afraid you’ll inevitably face other troubles in the future.”

Liu Xiaobao understood that He Chaoqiong was reminding him that he might be kidnapped by kidnappers who were only after money, or that someone with ulterior motives might try to take his wealth.

But Liu Xiaobao replied nonchalantly, "We'll deal with the future later. Let's deal with the present first!"

Seeing that Liu Xiaobao had already made a decision, He Chaoqiong didn't say anything more, but simply gave Liu Xiaobao a word of advice.

"Then let's do as you say, but you have to be careful. It's best to stay home until things are resolved. I'll make a call now and get some more people from the casino to come over, just in case someone comes to our door."

Liu Xiaobao did not object to He Chaoqiong's arrangement.

Even if he doesn't think about himself, he has to consider the three women in his family, so it's a good idea to hire more people to be in charge of security.

Right after He Chaoqiong finished her phone call, Liu Xiaobao also instructed her to send people to post three 'hidden bounties' in the underworld.

The first rule is that anyone who kills a member of the 'Heshengtang' triad will be offered a reward of one million for their life.

The second reward is 20 million for killing a big shot at the level of the 'Heshengtang' gang leader.

Article 3: A bounty of 200 million will be offered for the life of the leader of the "Heshengtang" triad.

After Pansy Ho had the bounty posted, the underworld of Hong Kong, Las Vegas, and Taiwan was in an uproar that very night.
