Film and Television: Bao Zong has finance in his left hand and entertainment in his right.

Hu Ruoling didn't hesitate at all: "Okay, I'll go see Grandpa Deng right away and try to get a few more for you!"

"Okay, honey, then you can make another trip. I'll definitely treat you well when I get to the capital!"

After hanging up the phone, Liu Xiaobao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

As long as the old man sends a few experts over, he will no longer need to worry about the safety of He Chaoqiong and Zhou Huimin.

The person the old man sent arrived as expected the next day, though it was a bit beyond Liu Xiaobao's expectations.

The old man not only sent him a team of twelve people, but they were all women.

No. 9, Hilltop Area.

Looking at the twelve women standing in a row in front of him, Liu Xiaobao couldn't help but say with some doubt.

"I am the Boss Bao you're looking for, but I'm looking for a true expert. Your strength..."

... .... 0

Liu Xiaobao didn't finish his sentence, as he was worried about offending the women too much.

Just then, one of the women spoke up and replied to Liu Xiaobao, "Mr. Bao, are you questioning our skills? It's alright. When we came in, we saw two or three hundred people guarding your house. Mr. Bao, you can let them come in and test our skills."

There were indeed nearly 300 people guarding the area outside Gate 9 of the hilltop district. They were all temporarily transferred by He Chaoqiong from the casino to do security.

Upon hearing that this woman dared to challenge those two or three hundred people, Liu Xiaobao was already convinced that they were no ordinary people, but he still needed to test their actual strength.

After all, they would be responsible for protecting He Chaoqiong and the others in the future, and Liu Xiaobao wouldn't feel at ease if they were too weak.

So Liu Xiaobao first called out to Su Jie, who was not far away, then smiled slightly and answered the woman who had spoken.

"I don't need those guys anymore. You can spar with me, your bodyguard, and let me see what you've got!"

All twelve women turned their gazes to Su Jie.

Su Jie remained completely unfazed and directly challenged them, saying, "Since Boss Bao has spoken, I'll spar with you a few times. Who wants to go first?"

The woman who had spoken earlier was the first to step forward: "I'll go first. Feng San, please enlighten me!"

Seeing that Su Jie was about to fight Feng Yi, Liu Xiaobao quickly reminded him.

"Su Jie, we're all on the same side. Just spar a little, and stop when you've made your point. Don't hurt anyone!"

Liu Xiaobao's reminder was originally well-intentioned, but Feng San and the others perceived it as contempt.

Seeing Su Jie nod as if he didn't take them seriously at all, Feng San and the other twelve women became even more enraged. This wasn't out of hatred, but simply because their pride couldn't take it and they were competitive.

After Su Jie nodded to Liu Xiaobao, Feng San immediately launched an attack on Su Jie.

Although Liu Xiaobao didn't understand martial arts, he had seen Su Jie and Long Liu fight, so when he saw Feng San's starting stance, Liu Xiaobao knew that Feng San was indeed skilled in martial arts.

However, Liu Xiaobao did not stop there. His original purpose was to test Feng San and the others' strength, so he would only stop after they demonstrated their abilities.

Firstly, it was for the safety of the women, and secondly, it was to put Liu Xiaobao's mind at ease.

Soon Liu Xiaobao noticed that under Feng San's fierce attack, Su Jie, who had been relaxed at first, began to take things seriously and changed from only defending to both attacking and defending.

Despite this, Su Jie still exchanged nearly twenty more moves with Feng San before finally defeating him.

Although Feng San was reluctant to admit that she was inferior to Su Jie, she was not someone who couldn't accept defeat. Seeing that Su Jie had only defeated her and had not hurt her, she readily admitted defeat and returned to stand in the line of women.

However, Feng San's surrender did not mean that the other eleven women would surrender as well. They, like Feng San, attacked Su Jie one after another.

It was only when they introduced themselves before taking action that Liu Xiaobao realized that these twelve women, like Long Liu and his group, had names that were numbers, numbered from 'three' to 'fourteen'.

The only difference is that Long Liu and his group use 'Long' as their surname, while Feng San and her group use 'Feng' as their surname.

Although Liu Xiaobao didn't deliberately inquire about their origins, he vaguely guessed some things. He felt that Long Liu and his group were dedicated to protecting political figures, while Feng San and her group were probably dedicated to protecting the families of political figures.

However, given that they, like Long Liu and the others, came from a state secret unit, Liu Xiaobao wouldn't have bothered to find out the truth unless Feng San and the others had told him.

Even if he doesn't go into politics, Liu Xiaobao still has the awareness of "not asking about political affairs." He understands that some things can be asked about, but some things cannot.

So even now, Liu Xiaobao only knows that Long Liu and his colleagues are dedicated to protecting the elderly, but he doesn't know what organization they belong to.

After Feng San and the others had all fought with Su Jie, they were genuinely impressed by him, but they didn't show any fear of him.

After all, Su Jie was only one person, while there were twelve of them. Although they couldn't defeat Su Jie by themselves, they were confident that if they all attacked together, they could still defeat him.

After witnessing Feng San and the others' true skills, Liu Xiaobao felt relieved.

Liu Xiaobao immediately divided the twelve of them into four groups and assigned them protection targets.

Feng San to Feng Ba were responsible for protecting He Chaoqiong and Zhou Huimin, so they naturally lived at No. 9 in the hilltop area.

Feng Jiu and Feng Shisi were responsible for protecting Xue Zhi and Li Jiaxin, and they went to live with Xue Zhi and Li Jiaxin respectively.

Feng San and the others didn't complain about Liu Xiaobao's arrangements and simply followed his orders.

With Feng San and the others protecting them, He Chaoqiong and the others no longer stayed at home and went about their business.

Xuezhi returned to her residence with three female bodyguards, while Liu Xiaobao, after having He Chaoqiong dismiss the two or three hundred people outside, also sent three female bodyguards to Li Jiaxin.

Only after arranging security for the four women did Liu Xiaobao feel completely at ease.

Now that Feng San and the others were no longer around, Liu Xiaobao asked Su Jie, "Su Jie, you personally tested their skills. Just how strong are they?"

Without a second thought, Su Jie casually replied, "They're all good. Although they're not as good as me, they're all skilled."

Liu Xiaobao rolled his eyes at Su Jie: "Of course I know they're skilled, but can't you be more specific? For example, with their abilities, how many ordinary people could one of them take on? Could they fight a hundred like you?"

Su Jie thought for a moment before answering, "If the opponent is unarmed, with their skills, it wouldn't be difficult for one of them to take on a hundred. Even if they encounter ordinary martial artists, they are capable of fighting back."

Hearing Su Jie say that, Liu Xiaobao felt even more at ease.

However, Liu Xiaobao did not leave Hong Kong. It was a special time, and he needed to stay in Hong Kong for a while longer until the hidden crisis in the entertainment industry was completely resolved before he could leave with peace of mind.

Perhaps because she was kidnapped by 'Heshengtang' once, Xuezhi now despises those underground forces.

Therefore, after Xuezhi's security alert was lifted, her entertainment company began to deliberately poach talent from film companies with underground connections.

Tianbao Entertainment already has many well-known stars under its wing, such as Chow Yun-fat, the Four Heavenly Kings, Stephen Chow, Vivian Chow, and Leslie Cheung, who are currently very popular.

Furthermore, ATV's ratings soared after adding three hit programs, giving Tianbao Entertainment a significant boost and allowing them to promote their artists at any time.

At the same time, Tianbao Entertainment Company offers very generous profit-sharing terms for its signed artists, so Xuezhi can basically poach any artist she sets her sights on.

Liu Xiaobao only learned about Xuezhi's retaliatory actions through Zhou Huimin.

But Liu Xiaobao didn't mind, nor did he stop Xuezhi's revenge.

To be honest, Liu Xiaobao, like Xuezhi, was also very angry about the 'Heshengtang' incident.

Moreover, Liu Xiaobao also looked down on the way those underground forces operated. If it was a matter of fighting and killing each other in the underworld, that was one thing, since that was the rule of the underworld.

However, in the business arena, even if they are underground forces, once they have entered this industry, they should abide by its rules. Liu Xiaobao can accept their fair and square business competition, but he cannot accept those people using the methods of the underworld to disrupt business rules.

Otherwise, if we indulge those underground forces too much, not only will they become more and more arrogant and domineering, but they will also ruin the rules of the entire business circle. If it is just a matter of who has the bigger fist, which businessman will dare to do business in the future?

Therefore, Liu Xiaobao also wanted to take this opportunity to teach those underground forces a lesson, as a warning to them to abide by the rules in the future. That's why he allowed Xuezhi to retaliate against the film companies held by those underground forces.

Of course, after learning about this situation, Liu Xiaobao did not completely sit idly by. He also began to pay close attention to Xuezhi in order to prevent any unexpected situation from happening to her.

Xuezhi's act of revenge caused a sensation in Hong Kong's entertainment industry.

The Hong Kong underworld was particularly shaken, as those underground forces were the biggest losers.

Almost 60% of the more famous artists from film companies controlled by Hong Kong's underworld were poached by Xue Zhi and transferred to Tianbao Entertainment.

The remaining 40% of people weren't unmoved by Xuezhi's generous offer, but they were afraid of those underground forces, which is why they didn't dare to switch jobs.

Nevertheless, Xuezhi's retaliatory actions have given Tianbao Entertainment the capital to rival TVB in terms of the number of artists.

This clearly shows that Xuezhi poached a lot of artists to Tianbao Entertainment Company this time.

It's worth noting that TVB used to have the most artists in Hong Kong; you could say that TVB alone controlled more than half of all the artists in Hong Kong.

However, the number of artists under Tianbao Entertainment is now comparable to that of TVB, which shows how much Tianbao Entertainment has benefited this time.

01 Although the underground forces in Hong Kong were very angry about this, they dared not retaliate against Tianbao Group again because of the precedent set by 'Wo Shing Tong'.

However, those underground forces rely on artists to make money for their gangs, and they can't just let Xuezhi poach their artists at will.

Therefore, unable to resort to illegal means, the group of underground forces, after discussion, decided to negotiate with Liu Xiaobao, the owner of Tianbao Group.

On the Lantern Festival, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Liu Xiaobao received a phone call.

When Liu Xiaobao pressed the answer button, a deep, steady male voice came through.

"Hello Mr. Bao, I am Xiang Huaqiang from 'Xinyi'an'."

Upon hearing the other person's self-introduction, Liu Xiaobao was momentarily stunned.

Liu Xiaobao had heard of Xiang Huaqiang before, knowing that he was a well-known bigwig in Hong Kong's underworld.

If Shaw Brothers was a media tycoon in Hong Kong, controlling a large portion of Hong Kong's television resources, then Xiang Huaqiang controlled almost a large portion of Hong Kong's film resources.

However, things are different now. Although Liu Xiaobao was somewhat surprised that Xiang Huaqiang had called him, it was only unexpected.

Once he came to his senses, Liu Xiaobao returned to normal and replied to Xiang Huaqiang in a calm tone.
