Huayu97: Starting with Wu Song Fighting the Tiger

The two strolled slowly toward the rocky area.

Out of the corner of his eye, he had already scanned the surroundings for any movement.

"At three o'clock, behind the reef, there are four. The one with the triangular eyes who's in the lead is the second-in-command."

Lin Zhu said softly.

At the same time, she secretly made a grappling gesture with her hand.

Liu Xiang nodded slightly and patted her waist lightly.

This was the signal the two had agreed upon to take action.

The next second, Lin Zhu suddenly twisted her ankle and fell to the side, bumping right into the lookout henchman.

Before the other party could react, she slammed her elbow into his stomach, grabbed his wrist and twisted it, and the henchman immediately collapsed.

As soon as the commotion started, Liu Xiang rushed forward.

International mercenaries' fighting techniques are fast, accurate, and ruthless, without any fancy moves.

He punched one of the henchmen in the head, then dodged another man's punch by dodging it.

His elbow struck his ribs, and within two minutes, all three henchmen were lying on the ground groaning in pain.

This series of fluid movements is both stylish and domineering; no wonder he's a martial arts star!

Seeing that things were not going well, the pirate's second-in-command, Black Marag, tried to run away, but Liu Xiang tripped him with a hook of her foot.

However, just as this guy was about to run away, several figures rushed up and immediately surrounded him.

It turned out they were several security personnel from Malaysia.

They immediately surrounded the guy, and Black Malag was left with nowhere to run.

He was so angry his face turned black.

He mumbled something and charged straight at the security personnel.

He knew the man behind him was very powerful.

There was no other way but to keep pushing forward.

"Clap clap clap..."

The security personnel, armed with guns and weapons, opened fire on Black Malag.

However, they underestimated the man's strength.

After all, Black Marag had been a pirate for so many years and had fought frequently, so he had developed his own physical reflexes and dodging skills.

Although he was a little tired, he was still very fast.

While dodging bullets, he aimed for the vital points of the security personnel.

Every punch and kick was aimed directly at the weak points.

Every move was deadly, every move was ruthless.

Several security personnel collapsed to the ground within a short period of time.

Just as a smug look appeared on his face, Liu Xiang behind him made her move.

He pressed his knee against the other man's lower back, then twisted Black Malag's wrist behind his back.

The movements were swift and decisive, giving him no chance to call for help.

"They acted quite quickly."

Liu Xiang dusted off her hands, and the security personnel who rushed over nodded.

Lin Zhu tidied her slightly messy hair and couldn't help but sigh, "Working with you is so much easier."

Behind the coconut grove, Liang Jingru was stopped by two police officers, her heart pounding in her throat.

During the few minutes she was about to act, her hands were shaking and her palms were covered in cold sweat. Several times she tried to rush forward, but the police officers held her back tightly.

"Don't stop me, I need to go see him!"

Her voice was choked with sobs, and her eyes were fixed on Liu Xiang's direction.

Only when she saw Liu Xiang safely dusting herself off did her heart finally settle down. She leaned against the coconut tree, her legs still a little weak.

Liu Xiang looked up and gave her a reassuring gesture.

As Liang Jingru watched his figure, the corners of her mouth unconsciously curved upwards, and the worry in her eyes instantly turned into tenderness.

The second-in-command was taken to a temporary interrogation point at the port. He was tightly bound to an iron chair, and Lin Zhu sat opposite him, holding a notebook in her hand with a cold look in her eyes.

"Where is Black Shark? Tell me, and I'll consider it an act of redemption."

The second-in-command, with his neck stiffened, spat and said, "I don't know, and don't try to get anything out of me!"

He had followed Black Shark for many years and knew that the old man was ruthless. If he dared to betray him, his family would definitely not survive.

Lin Zhu interrogated the second-in-command for ten minutes, but the stubborn man refused to utter a single word.

She looked up at Liu Xiang, who was standing to the side, and gave her a look.

Liu Xiang walked over slowly, placed her hands on the interrogation table, and leaned forward slightly.

At the same time, the chilling aura emanating from him made the second-in-command unconsciously shrink back.

"You think Black Shark will protect you if you don't speak up?"

"He's in dire straits himself right now. If news of your arrest gets out, the first thing he'll do is send people to kill your entire family, to eliminate any future threats. Don't you understand that?"

The second-in-command's face turned pale instantly, and he couldn't help but start to panic.

Seeing that he had relented, Liu Xiang continued to add insult to injury:

"Cooperate with us, and the security bureau can protect your family's safety and even reduce your sentence."

"The choice is yours: either die guarding the Black Shark, or leave yourself a way to live."

These words struck a nerve with the second-in-command. He remained silent for half a minute before finally hanging his head.

"I said... Black Shark is hiding in the disputed reefs in international waters, in an old cargo ship called the Sea Wolf. The ship looks wrecked, but it actually contains weapons and illicit money. He plans to move it to Indonesia in the next few days."

Lin Zhu immediately jotted down the clues and looked up at the police officer, instructing him:

"Immediately dispatch speedboats to the Red Sea, to the Seawolf!"

Half an hour later, three speedboats carrying Liu Xiang, Lin Zhu, and the security bureau personnel sped towards the Red Sea.

At night, Liu Xiang stood at the bow of the boat, pondering a problem.

The system is only six people away from unlocking; once we take down Black Shark, we should be able to complete it.

"The coordinates of the Seawolf have been confirmed; it's just three nautical miles ahead."

Lin Zhu walked over with the nautical chart and handed Liu Xiang a pair of night vision goggles.

"Black Shark has at least six men, all of them ruthless thugs. Be careful."

"Don't worry, they'll be dealt with easily."

Liu Xiang put on night vision goggles.

Two hours later, the group spotted the Seawolf adrift on the sea in the distance.

The ship's hull was covered in rust, looking as if it had been abandoned for several years.

Only a small lamp at the stern flickered in the night.

Liu Xiang ordered his troops to split into three groups, with one group going around to the back of the ship to intercept them.

A group of rocks lurking beside the ship.

He and Lin Zhu changed into black market clothing they had prepared in advance, pretending to be arms dealers, and boarded the Seawolf.

As soon as I stepped onto the deck, a man with a face full of scars blocked my way.

"What do you do?"

"The goods have been delivered; let him come out to discuss business with the Black Shark boss."

As Lin Zhu spoke, she raised her hand and patted the bag on her body, pretending that it contained weapons.

Scarface sized up the two men, then turned and called out.

Not long after, a middle-aged man with a face full of scars came out; it was Black Shark.

He squinted at Liu Xiang, then suddenly his expression changed.

"It's you! That kid from the Macau Star!"

Black Shark recognized Liu Xiang at a glance and immediately waved his hand, ordering, "Kill him right now!"

Six trusted confidants immediately rushed forward, and Liu Xiang shielded Lin Zhu behind him while he went to meet them.

The dull thud of fists colliding with flesh echoed on the deck; the super mercenary's fighting techniques were deadly.

Liu Xiang dodged the man's machete, punched him in the chest with her backhand, then turned and locked another man's neck, slamming him hard onto the deck.

One, two, three... more and more henchmen fell.

As Liu Xiang punched his last trusted confidant in the face and watched him fall motionless to the ground, a system notification sounded in his mind:

[Ding! Complete the 400-person fight mission to unlock a new skill]

Liu Xiang thought to herself, "Then I'll excel at singing!"

[Singing Proficiency Skill: (Mastery of composition/lyric writing/emotional expression), Host, would you like to unlock?]

Upon hearing this, Liu Xiang thought to herself, "Unlock it!" "This skill is indeed amazing!"

Suddenly, he felt that his mind was filled with many more things.

At this moment, his mental state is like that of a top-tier composer, lyricist, or even an excellent singer who has been in the music industry for decades!

As soon as the commotion subsided, Black Shark tried to escape by jumping into the sea, but Lin Zhu swiftly pulled out the handcuffs from her waist and precisely grabbed his wrists.

Black Shark was pinned to the deck, struggling frantically and roaring with eyes wide open in fury.

"Liu Xiang! Don't be so smug! I still have a backup plan in Penang. You'll fall into my hands sooner or later!"

Liu Xiang stepped on his back and said coldly, "I'm waiting."

Security personnel immediately rushed up and took Black Shark and the rest of his henchmen away.

On the speedboat on the return trip, the head of the Malaysian security bureau handed Liu Xiang a check for three hundred thousand US dollars.

"Mr. Liu, thank you so much this time. Here is the reward you were promised."

Liu Xiang took the check and added it to the $200,000 she had received from saving the wealthy man, making a total of $500,000.

He was clutching the check.

This money is enough to buy a house and a car back home, and then start a small brokerage firm.

"I've taken care of all the procedures for your return to China; everything went smoothly."

Lin Zhu handed over a file folder, looking at Liu Xiang with eyes full of reluctance.

"Remember to visit me when you return to Penang."

"must."

Liu Xiang took the file bag and nodded with a smile.

When the speedboat docked, Liang Jingru was already waiting at the port.

Seeing Liu Xiang come down, she immediately ran up to her, her eyes red.

"Brother Liu Xiang, are you alright? I was so worried about you."

Liu Xiang smiled calmly.

"Silly girl, what could possibly happen to me? Don't worry."

He looked at Liang Jingru, and the melody of the song he was writing had already begun to appear in his mind; his singing proficiency was completely in his head.

Various tunes and lyrics emerged instantly, and a plan to make her famous was already in place.

Back at her guesthouse in Penang, Liu Xiang carefully put away the $500,000 check. Just as she sat down on the sofa, her phone rang.

The caller ID showed a Macau number, and the contact name was Su Wanyi.

He answered the phone, and Su Wanyi's gentle voice came through.

"Mr. Liu, I heard you acquired Black Shark in Penang. That's impressive."

"Boss Su is quite well-informed," Liu Xiang replied with a smile.

"There's an entertainment party in Macau, with a lot of big names in the industry there. Also, a record company owner is looking for a reliable songwriter. I think you'd be a good fit."

"When will Mr. Liu return to Macau? I'd like to discuss our collaboration with you."

Liu Xiang had just unlocked her singing proficiency skill and already had this opportunity; it felt really good.

But a smile played on his lips as he said, "I still have some things to take care of here. I'll definitely contact you once I'm done with that, and then I'll return to Macau."
