Huayu97: Starting with Wu Song Fighting the Tiger

Her eyes still held a captivating charm as she said, "The Black Shark's men are extremely vigilant. Only if the two of us pretend to be a couple and go to the harbor to buy boat tickets can we avoid arousing their suspicion and successfully lure the Black Shark out. It was a pleasure working with Mr. Liu tonight."

Her fingers gently caressed Liu Xiang's shoulder, the warm touch seeping through the fabric. Her wine-red dress accentuated her slender figure, and the moonlight shone on her face, her alluring eyes captivating. Looking at her so close, Liu Xiang felt a slight tension dissipate.

He reached out and put his arm around Lin Zhu's waist, his fingertips touching her warm skin, and said in a slightly ambiguous tone, "Wait a minute, nice to work with you, Officer Lin."

The two were very close, their breaths mingling. A hint of shyness flashed in Lin Zhu's eyes, but she didn't push him away. Instead, she tilted her head slightly and gradually moved closer to Liu Xiang's lips. Liu Xiang looked down at her luscious lips and slowly leaned in. Just as their lips were about to touch, Liu Xiang caught a glimpse of a slender figure in the doorway out of the corner of his eye. His pupils instantly contracted, and he shoved Lin Zhu away.

Lin Zhu staggered back a few steps, looking stunned and dumbfounded. Following Liu Xiang's gaze to the doorway, she was also momentarily stunned. Someone was coming to the doorway; it was Liang Jingru, who was supposed to return to Johor!

Liang Jingru stood at the door, her luggage falling to the ground. Her eyes widened as she stared at the two people in the room, her expression complex—surprise, disappointment, and a hint of barely perceptible sadness. Her eyes reddened, and her lips moved, but she didn't utter a word.

Lin Zhu looked at Liang Jingru, her alluring expression vanishing instantly, replaced by embarrassment. She instinctively tugged at her long, strappy dress, standing frozen in place, completely at a loss. She thought to herself, "Wasn't this girl supposed to be going back to Johor? Why is she back again? She's ruined everything that was going on between me and Liu Xiang!"

Liu Xiang walked quickly to Liang Jingru, and seeing her eyes gradually redden, she was filled with doubt and heartache: "Jingru, why did you come back to the guesthouse? Weren't you supposed to be going back to Johor?"

Fish Leong looked up at Liu Xiang, sniffed, and said in a slightly choked voice, "Brother Liu Xiang, I'm sorry, I don't want to go back to Johor. I was also sent by the Security Bureau to get close to you!"

It turns out that after Liang Jingru boarded the long-distance bus, she became increasingly worried.

She felt that Liu Xiang was facing too much risk on her own, and her unease grew stronger.

After driving for a while, she decisively got out of the car and turned back to Penang, returning to her guesthouse.

Lin Zhu looked at Liang Jingru and a hint of speechlessness flashed in her eyes. Of course she knew about Liang Jingru's cooperation with the Security Bureau. However, before the operation, the Security Bureau had informed Liang Jingru that her cooperation mission was completed and that she should leave Penang as soon as possible and return to her hometown in Johor. She didn't expect that this girl would not leave and would come here instead, ruining her plans!

Lin Zhu didn't blame Liang Jingru; instead, she felt a bit of admiration. This young girl was quite bold in love and hate. Knowing that Liu Xiang would definitely return to China, knowing that there would be danger, she still resolutely turned back. This courage was particularly rare. Lin Zhu also looked down at her burgundy dress and then glanced at Liang Jingru's white dress.

She thought to herself, "Anyway, I have a good figure and I'm not bad looking. Even if Liu Xiang sees Liang Jingru come back, he'll probably choose me, right?"

Looking at Liang Jingru and then at her reddened eyes, Liu Xiang's doubts instantly vanished, replaced by overwhelming heartache. He reached out and wiped away her tears, his tone a mix of reproach and tenderness: "Silly girl, do you know how dangerous this is? Didn't the Security Bureau tell you to go back? Why did you come back?"

"I'm worried about Liu Xiang," Liang Jingru whispered, clutching the hem of her clothes. "I know you're going to the harbor beach to lure the black shark out. I'm really good, you know. I can help you. I want to face the danger with you. Brother Liu Xiang, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have secretly come back. I shouldn't have ruined things between you and Sister Lin Zhu. But I really can't stop worrying about you. Will you be angry that I hid my identity earlier?"

Seeing Liang Jingru's aggrieved look, Liu Xiang felt utterly overwhelmed. He reached out and ruffled her hair, saying helplessly, "Fine, you're back. I won't be angry. But tonight's operation is exceptionally dangerous. You must stay by my side and not leave my sight for even a moment, understand?"

"I know!" Fish Leong nodded immediately, her aggrieved expression vanishing instantly, replaced by excitement. "I'll definitely stick close to you and never hold you back!"

Lin Zhu stood aside, watching the two of them being affectionate, her lips twitched, and the little thoughts in her heart instantly vanished.

She immediately walked over, cleared her throat, and broke the tender moment between the two: "Alright, now's not the time for this. We still have an hour before the operation begins, we need to get going. Liu Xiang, you take Liang Jingru with you, I'll scout ahead. Just stick to the plan and don't mess things up!"

Her tone returned to its usual coldness, completely devoid of the allure she had just displayed, as if the person who had approached Liu Xiang just moments before wasn't her at all. Liu Xiang nodded, picked up her luggage from the ground, and handed it to Liang Jingru, saying, "Put your luggage back first, and change into some clothes that are easy to move in; black, the more understated, the better."

"Okay!" Liang Jingru instantly took the luggage, ran back to her room, and changed her clothes at an astonishing speed.

Half an hour later, the three of them finished getting ready and changed into their work clothes. Liu Xiang was dressed in a black casual outfit, with a tall and straight figure and a cold look in her eyes.

Lin Zhu was dressed in a black fitted outfit that accentuated her graceful figure, with a sharp look in her eyes.

Liang Jing was dressed in a black tracksuit with her hair tied in a high ponytail, looking exceptionally capable with a determined look in her eyes.

The three quietly left the guesthouse. The Penang night was still gentle, yet fraught with danger. The streetlights cast a dim yellow glow on the mottled walls, and the occasional chirping of insects broke the stillness of the night. Following the route given by the security bureau, the three rode their motorcycles toward the harbor beach. Their eyes warily scanned their surroundings, and Liu Xiang clutched a mini self-defense dagger in her pocket.

The harbor beach wasn't far from the guesthouse, only a twenty-minute walk, and the three of them arrived quickly.

This place is much livelier than Batu Ferringhi Beach, but it's not as bustling as it is during the day; only the sound of waves crashing against the shore can be heard.

The outline of the reef was faintly visible in the night, and a few fishing lights flickered on the distant sea.

Security personnel had already laid an ambush behind the rocks on the beach and in the coconut grove, each holding a silenced pistol, ready to fire.

Liu Xiang released Liang Jingru's hand and whispered, "You stay here and don't move. Lin Zhu and I will go ahead and observe the situation. If there's any movement, retreat quickly!"

"Okay!" Fish Leong nodded emphatically, without backing down in the slightest.

Liu Xiang and Lin Zhu exchanged a glance, and then, in perfect unison, raised their hands to embrace each other's waists, pretending to be a couple.

They slowly walked towards the depths of the beach, occasionally exchanging a few words in hushed tones, their tone so ambiguous and sweet it was almost overwhelming.
