Reborn in 1970, I thrived in Hong Kong.

In the main hall of Hongfulou, there was a large rotating round dining table with twenty seats in the center. Li Huai-ren sat facing the entrance of the hall, while Qiao Wu stood half a meter behind him, keeping an eye on others and protecting his back.

Apart from Li Huai-ren, all those who made it onto this stage were prominent figures in Hong Kong's underworld, including gang leaders and bosses.

Those gang leaders and bosses who weren't yet at a high enough level were all at another dozen or so tables. Almost all of the Thirty-Six Heavenly Spirits were there, occasionally exchanging glances with Qiao Wu to exchange information.

The waiters at Hongfulou served all the tea and snacks and then left.

14K is Hong Kong's largest criminal organization. Its leader, Yi Zhong, glanced at everyone and, without hesitation, spoke first:

"Mr. Li, you probably already know why I've summoned you today. What are your thoughts?"

Li Huai-ren glanced at him:

"I understand what you mean, but the box office revenue of the films we distribute is fixed and will be remitted back to Hong Kong through the formal channel of banks. There is no way to manipulate this part."

As for how much your films do at the box office when they're released elsewhere, that's your own business...

Looking up at the leaders and chief members of the Bad Guys present, Li Huai-ren said solemnly:

"I don't care about your affairs, nor is it my place to interfere."

He held up three fingers of his right hand, then changed the subject:

"However, if your film is to be shown in Phoenix Cinemas, you must agree to three conditions:"

First, you must not force Hong Kong film and television professionals, especially actors, to make films for you without compensation.

Secondly, plagiarism of film and television copyrights is prohibited...

Thirdly, ..."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Chicken, standing behind Uncle Shrimp at Wo Shing Wo, said disdainfully:

"Why should we all have to agree to your rules and do as you say?"

A cold glint flashed in Li Huai Ren's eyes, and he said leisurely:

"I'm speaking to your leader, when did it become your turn to speak? You have no manners at all."

As soon as he finished speaking, a figure, like a ghost, flashed around the large round platform where they were sitting. When it passed by Shanji, a palm strike landed on the back of Shanji's neck. Shanji didn't react at all and collapsed to the ground.

The next moment, the figure stood behind Li Huai Ren again, holding the corners of two large round tables in each hand. In the blink of an eye, he managed to break off four pieces of the three-centimeter-thick solid wood table with his bare hands!

All the scoundrels present were shocked and looked at each other in disbelief.

Li Huai-ren stood up, placed his hands on the round platform, and glanced around at everyone:

"If you want your movie to be shown on Phoenix Cinema, you must abide by the three rules I have agreed upon with you."

I have finished speaking. Who agrees? Who disagrees?

After saying this, he picked up a cup of tea that had long since gone cold from the table, and without turning his head or even glancing at it, he precisely splashed the tea onto the pheasant's face.

The pheasant shuddered, slowly woke up, looked up at everyone with a bewildered expression, and then got up from the ground with a very ugly face.

Chen Huimin and other top members of the Bad Guys organization witnessed all of this. When they looked up at Qiao Wu and Li Huai Ren, their eyes were filled with deep fear.

The eldest brother glanced back at his thirteenth brother, the two exchanged a quick look, then turned back and the eldest brother laughed heartily.

"Mr. Li, it's a deal! I've agreed to the Xiang family's terms and will definitely abide by the three rules you and we agreed upon!"

Now that things are settled, my thirteenth brother and I will take our leave. We'll invite Mr. Li for tea another day when we have more free time.

Li Huai-ren smiled, glanced at the thirteenth son of the Xiang family, and recalled another legend about Bruce Lee's death. He immediately stared at the thirteenth son, clasped his hands in a fist and bowed to everyone present:

"I almost forgot there's one more thing I need to tell you all!"

I want to make Bruce Lee an international superstar so that Hong Kong films can expand their reach around the world, especially in Europe and America.

Your men must not disturb him, much less harm him.

I just want to say:

"If anything happens to Bruce Lee, I'll use all the money he earned for me from making movies as a bonus to avenge him!"

After saying this, he clasped his hands together and bowed slightly.

"Goodbye!"

After saying that, he turned and left. Qiao Wu followed behind him, half a step behind, and left Hongfu Restaurant step by step.

Chen Huimin and the other corrupt officials, all experts in the field, watched this unfold. Their pupils contracted, and their fear deepened.

As soon as Li Huai-ren and Qiao Wu-yi left, none of these scoundrels fought back; they all got up and left.

Once in the car, Yi Zhong immediately asked Chen Huimin:

"Li Huai-ren's bodyguards are very strong. Aren't you confident you can take him on?"

Chen Huimin scratched his head and said embarrassedly:

"Boss, there's absolutely no comparison between me and him. How can you compare a chicken thigh to a mosquito thigh?"

The move he just showed was authentic internal martial arts, while I practice ordinary external martial arts and combat. How can I compare to him?

Even ten of me wouldn't be enough to defeat him alone.

After thinking for a moment, he added:

"Boss, I just discovered an even more astonishing secret. Li Huai-ren's skills may be on par with his bodyguards, or even stronger, or his reaction time may be faster."

Yi Zhong was taken aback: "Oh?"

Chen Huimin quickly explained:

"Boss, did you notice the way Li Huai-ren and his bodyguard moved when they left just now?"

Li Huai-ren was in front, and his bodyguards were half a step behind to protect him.

What does this mean? It means that Li Huai-ren is very powerful, and his bodyguards don't need to protect him from frontal attacks!

"Yes, it's also possible they'll face a direct surprise attack, but Li Huai-ren is quite confident he can avoid it!"

Yi Zhong was stunned for a moment, then recalled the rumor that thirty veteran Vietnamese soldiers had died at the hands of Li Huai Ren's bodyguards, and a chill ran down his spine:

"Your mom, this isn't just a rumor!"

He turned to look at Chen Huimin and suddenly said:

"I will pass on the order later to make sure that the people below abide by the three rules that Li Huai-ren made with us."

As for you, if you have the opportunity to make movies, go for it if you want to act. Make more connections with film and television talents; it will be good for us to make movies in the future too…”

The same scene occurred simultaneously in multiple locations.

As soon as the eldest son of the Xiang family got into the car, he immediately said to the thirteenth son:

"You've seen clearly the positions of Li Huai-ren and his bodyguards, haven't you?"

Everyone underestimated Li Huai-ren, this good-for-nothing rich kid. He's actually a master fighter who doesn't even need bodyguards to protect him from frontal attacks!

He glanced back at his younger brother and continued speaking to the eldest brother:

"Thirteenth Brother, since you're planning to enter the film and television industry, then do it well. You'd better obediently abide by the three rules that Li Huai-ren, that good-for-nothing, made with us!"

"Damn it, Li Huai-ren, that bastard, he's really good at hiding his true colors. It seems the rumors about his bodyguards killing those thirty Vietnamese guys are true."

The thirteenth prince was taken aback, and the vicious thought that had crossed his mind immediately dissipated by more than half. He sighed inwardly.

"Sigh, forget it. Ding X should just enjoy it by himself. Otherwise, if he marries her after being cuckolded and then divorces her, and she accidentally lets it slip, then there will be big trouble!"
