Chapter 100 A Stormy Sea, Using Me as Bait
Su Wantang's heart tightened suddenly at the sound of "Dr. Su...the Divine Doctor".
But on his face, Bai Shu's mask remained firmly in place, without a single crack.
She slowly turned around, revealing her captivating peach blossom eyes.
"Bodyguard Lu, what nonsense are you talking about?" Her voice was cold.
"It seems that your shot not only injured your body, but also damaged your brain."
"Should I cut you open again to see if water got inside?"
These words were both harsh and ruthless, perfectly fitting Boss Bai's character.
Looking at her adorable, stubborn expression, Lu Jingyan's heart melted completely.
His Wan Tang was like that; she was incredibly soft inside, yet she insisted on raising all her sharp thorns, not allowing anyone to get close.
He didn't point it out, but instead frowned in perfect cooperation, covered his forehead with one hand, his tall body swayed, and a look of pain instantly appeared on his handsome face.
"hiss……"
Lu Jingyan gasped, his voice growing weak.
"Now that you mention it... my head really does hurt a bit. No, no, it must be because I got dizzy dancing with you earlier, and the wound reopened."
Su Wantang: "..."
She almost choked on her breath looking at this scoundrel who was all smiles and flirting with her one second, and then suddenly became a drama queen trying to scam her.
With acting skills like this, it would be a waste not to win an Oscar!
But rationally, she had no choice but to accept this excuse.
"Then go back to your bed." Bai Shu said coldly, snatching her wine glass back from his hand without even looking at him.
"Don't die here, it's bad luck."
"Alright." Lu Jingyan knew when to stop; having achieved his goal, he stopped teasing her.
He obediently turned around and staggered towards his room. From behind, he looked quite forlorn, as if he were seriously injured and weak.
Su Wantang watched his retreating figure, and her tense shoulders finally relaxed slightly.
...
At 2 a.m., the cruise ship had already sailed into the boundless high seas.
Bai Shu picked up the intercom and dialed Zheng Kai's room.
"We can begin."
Her voice, like the sea at night, was cold and calm.
"Yes, boss."
A few minutes later, in the storage room on the aft deck of the cruise ship.
Zheng Kai, along with two of his men, dragged out the unconscious Young Master Zhou and several of Huo San Niang's sentries, whom Li Hu and his men had exposed, like dead dogs.
These people had their mouths gagged tightly, their hands and feet were tied behind their backs, their faces were full of terror, and they could only make desperate "woo-woo" sounds.
Zheng Kai didn't even glance at them, and waved to his subordinates.
"Throw it down."
Two words, devoid of any emotion.
Upon receiving the order, the men swiftly carried the men one by one to the railing.
"Thump!"
"Thump!"
Several muffled splashes of water were exceptionally clear in the deathly still night.
After the splash subsided, the sea quickly returned to calm, as if nothing had happened.
Zheng Kai walked to the railing, took out a handkerchief, slowly wiped his hands, and then threw the handkerchief into the sea.
He knew that his boss's plan had reached its most crucial step.
He had to make sure the performance was realistic enough.
......
A few nautical miles away, on a ship disguised as a cargo ship.
The cabin was brightly lit, and the air was filled with the smell of cigars and spirits.
A woman was sitting with her legs crossed, observing the "Oriental Pearl" ship in the distance with great interest through a pair of high-powered military binoculars.
The woman was in her early thirties, still charming, and was none other than "Third Sister Huo" of the Hong Kong Triads.
A burly man beside her suddenly pointed into the distance and whispered, "Third Sister, look!"
Huo Sanniang adjusted the focus and saw several dark figures being thrown from the side of the cruise ship into the dark sea like garbage, splashing up a few insignificant waves.
"Damn it!" Huo Sanniang was furious and slammed the binoculars on the table, making the wine glasses clink.
"That little bitch! She actually dared to lay a hand on me!"
The people she sent onto the ship were just some peripheral thugs, but even when beating a dog, you have to consider its owner!
Bai Shu's actions clearly showed that he didn't take Huo San Niang seriously!
But after the anger subsided, a sinister smile, like a cat catching a mouse, appeared on Huo San Niang's face.
"However, this is for the best."
She licked her scarlet lips, her eyes filled with greed and arrogance.
"She thinks she can rest easy after eliminating a few small fry? How naive and laughable!"
In her view, Bai Shu must be at his most relaxed and complacent moment now that he has eliminated all threats.
This was the perfect opportunity for her to strike!
"She's choosing the path to hell when there's a way to heaven! Issue my order: speedboats, move out! Everyone, board the boat!"
She stood up, grabbed a black trench coat from the side and draped it over her shoulders, her voice filled with bloodthirsty excitement.
"Tonight, I'm going to tear that little bitch apart with my own hands, and take her bones off one by one to see if they're made of gold!"
"Yes, Third Sister!"
At her command, the cargo ship's side was opened, and several speedboats that had been prepared beforehand shot off like arrows, turning off all their lights.
Under the cover of night, it silently cut through the sea and sped toward the brightly lit "Oriental Pearl".
A moment later...
"ah--"
"Who is that person?!"
"Pirates! It's pirates!"
When the first rope with a grappling hook was thrown onto the cruise ship's deck, and when the first man in black climbed aboard like an ape, the passengers who were still enjoying their nightlife finally let out terrified screams.
Panic spread rapidly like a plague, and the decks and cabins were filled with people fleeing in all directions, accompanied by piercing cries.
The entire cruise ship instantly transformed from a paradise on earth into a chaotic hell.
In the heart of this chaos, on the highest deck, Bai Shu stood alone, leaning against the railing.
There wasn't even the slightest fear on her face.
She watched them roughly shove aside the passengers blocking their way, watched them approach her step by step, and even a hint of admiration appeared in her beautiful peach blossom eyes.
Huo Sanniang, leading a dozen of her most elite Hongmen subordinates, kicked aside the tables and chairs blocking their way and charged forward menacingly.
When she saw Bai Shu's nonchalant demeanor, she was first stunned, then her anger flared.
You're about to die, and you still dare to act tough with me?!
"Little bitch!"
Huo Sanniang grinned maliciously as she approached step by step, as if watching her prey's final struggle.
"Without that bastard Lu Jingyan protecting you, let's see how arrogant you are today!"
With a wave of her hand, the thugs behind her immediately understood and, like a pack of hungry wolves, surrounded her from all sides.
"Attack them!" Huo Sanniang's voice was sharp and venomous.
"Just leave her alive! I'll slowly torture her!"
The thugs grinned maliciously as they pounced on him.
As Bai Shu watched the increasingly ferocious face draw closer, the curve of his lips grew ever colder.
Right at that moment!
A sudden change has occurred!
"Buzz—"
Dozens of dazzling, enormous searchlights suddenly lit up the dark sea from all directions, instantly tearing through the night and illuminating the area as if it were daytime!
Everyone was blinded by the sudden burst of bright light and instinctively shielded their eyes with their hands.
Huo Sanniang and her men simultaneously felt an extremely ominous premonition.
As their eyes squinted towards the light source, their blood seemed to freeze completely at that moment, as they barely adjusted to the light.
Around their cruise ship and speedboat, several enormous vessels had appeared out of nowhere!
Those ships, painted with bright red national emblems, with their bows and dark, menacing cannons gleaming with a deathly metallic sheen, were all aimed precisely at them and the bewildered speedboats on the sea.
This is... a military armed patrol boat?!
How could this be?!
A cold, steady male voice resounded throughout the entire sea area via the broadcast system, clearly reaching everyone's ears.
"Third Sister Huo".
It's Lu Jingyan's voice!
Huo Sanniang trembled and suddenly looked up towards the direction of the cruise ship's cockpit.
Lu Jingyan's voice, like a judgment from hell, continued to ring out:
"Welcome to our territorial waters."
"You, and all your subordinates, are hereby arrested in accordance with the law for suspected piracy, illegal entry, and attempted murder of our citizens with weapons."
"Put down your weapons and put your hands behind your heads! Any resistance will be considered a provocation against our sovereignty!"
"We will... kill them on the spot!"
