Lin Feng returned to the hotel where he and Wu Mei had rented a room. After a struggle with climbing the walls, he finally managed to get back into the room without alerting Long Jiu.

By then, it was past midnight. Lin Feng saw Wu Mei, dressed in pajamas, already sound asleep on the only large bed in the room.

What was astonishing was that instead of covering herself with a blanket, Wu Mei was hugging the beautifully packaged box containing the Desert Star necklace tightly in her arms, a joyful, sweet smile on her face. He wondered what she was dreaming about...

This... is too much! Can the allure of jewelry for women really be that powerful? Lin Feng was rather speechless. He couldn't fathom how Wu Mei, an elite female police officer, could be so completely captivated by a diamond necklace that she even hugged it in her sleep... She was utterly bewitched!

How can she sleep well like this? Lin Feng gave a wry smile, shaking his head. He naturally approached Wu Mei, intending to take the jewelry box from her embrace…

"HMM..." Wu Mei groaned softly, her brows furrowing. However, she had clearly been asleep for a long time and seemed to have forgotten what she was holding. As Lin Feng forcefully pulled at it, she finally, lazily, let go of the jewelry box.

As Wu Mei released her hold, her loose nightgown slid down on both sides, naturally revealing her ample bosom… The lace nightgown, half-concealing and half-revealing, beautifully accentuated her skin, leaving Lin Feng momentarily stunned.

Among the women Lin Feng knew, Wu Mei possessed one of the most explosive figures; only Cao Ying could barely compare. However, Wu Mei's waist was exceptionally slender, toned from regular exercise without a trace of excess fat, making the visual impact on Lin Feng even more striking…

"Wu Mei, are you asleep?" Lin Feng whispered gently…

Wu Mei's breathing remained even, as if she were still soundly asleep…

If I just sneakily open her collar a bit for a peek, she shouldn't mind, right? Lin Feng thought.

With this in mind, Lin Feng slowly extended his hand, afraid that any sudden movement would cause Wu Mei to sit up and slap him… Finally, Lin Feng's hand gently reached Wu Mei's collar. Just as he was about to pull it open…

Wu Mei suddenly opened her eyes, staring at Lin Feng with a complex expression…

In her gaze, there was a hint of disappointment and reproach, but even more of an indescribable tenderness and shyness that made Lin Feng instantly embarrassed…

"Uh... I was just about to... help you with your buttons..." Seeing Wu Mei suddenly open her eyes, Lin Feng's face flushed, his right hand seemingly frozen on her collar as he struggled to explain.

I'm such an idiot! Wu Mei is a special police operative who constantly undertakes life-threatening missions; how could her alertness be low? Taking the necklace box was such a significant movement, how could she possibly not have noticed? Lin Feng cursed himself for his foolishness, for actually thinking Wu Mei wouldn't wake up. Too careless! Good thing I'm sharp enough to have come up with such a brilliant excuse on the spot… Just as Lin Feng was feeling secretly pleased with himself, he heard Wu Mei speak, her expression one of exasperation.

"My clothes don't have buttons…" Wu Mei looked at Lin Feng calmly and stated faintly.

Lin Feng looked down and saw that it was true. Wu Mei's sleepwear was a simple slip-on nightgown with a very low neckline; there were no buttons at all…

"AHEM... I thought there were... Didn't realize there actually weren't..." Lin Feng awkwardly retracted his hand, a sheepish smile on his face.

"You're back so late?" Wu Mei didn't seem to intend to blame Lin Feng. She took out her phone, casually glanced at the time, and asked him softly.

"Yes... Did something happen?" Lin Feng knew Wu Mei wouldn't show concern for his movements without reason.

Wu Mei bit her lower lip gently, looking at Lin Feng with a serious expression, and asked in a low voice, "I've already reported the work progress to the organization. The organization's instruction is for me to get as close to you as possible... and then board the ship with you. Can you help me achieve this?"

This... Wu Mei's superiors want her to seduce me? Lin Feng instantly understood Wu Mei's meaning…

"You didn't tell your superiors my identity?" Lin Feng asked. If Wu Mei's boss knew he was actually part of the Falcon Squad, they certainly wouldn't have Wu Mei try to entice him using traditional methods. She must have concealed his identity for him.

"Yes…" Wu Mei nodded. "As a special operative, I know the fewer people who know our identities, the better. I deliberately kept yours confidential…"

In fact, Wu Mei trusted her superiors very much. If the Falcon Squad had sent a different contact person, she wouldn't have minded reporting their identity to her boss. But... isn't this current situation quite good? Her superiors had even instructed that, at critical junctures, she could be flexible with her methods to complete the mission... Even if something were to happen with Lin Feng, it would be excusable.

Of course, Wu Mei would not directly tell Lin Feng about these deeper thoughts.

"I'll try my best to find a way to get you on the ship…" Lin Feng said casually, then his heart skipped a beat. Somehow, 'getting on the ship' sounds an awful lot like 'getting it on'... My mind is so dirty!

"Also, I received news from the organization. The cruise ship arranged by the Qingzi Sect for the boxing match has been identified. It should be the Pacific Treasure, docked at Shengang Port in the Hexi District. The Pacific Treasure has been replenishing supplies for its voyage these past few days and should set sail in the near future…"

Wu Mei handed her phone to Lin Feng. The digital information on it displayed detailed data about the Pacific Treasure: its size, tonnage, rooms, cabins, deck specifications, and even several extremely complex structural diagrams indicating the locations of various engine rooms and control towers.

It's great to have backing! Lin Feng marveled internally. Wu Mei hadn't even boarded yet, and she already had all the information on the Treasure Ship. Unlike him, who currently had no useful personnel to help, making it inconvenient to investigate anything.

Lin Feng spent a few minutes quickly committing all the information about the Treasure Ship to memory, then handed the phone back to Wu Mei.

Wu Mei, unaware that Lin Feng had already memorized the data, looked at him with some surprise. "This information can't be kept; it must be deleted before we leave this room. Aren't you going to try to remember more of it?"

"I've already memorized all of it!" Lin Feng grinned, stating unabashedly.

Hearing this, Wu Mei said nothing. She simply didn't believe Lin Feng could memorize all the data on the Treasure Ship in just a few minutes—it was thousands of words of information, plus so many diagrams…

However, Wu Mei wasn't concerned. She had already memorized most of it anyway, so it didn't matter if Lin Feng remembered it or not.

In Wu Mei's heart, Lin Feng was just being lazy, trying to fool her by claiming he'd memorized all the diagrams. She refused to believe Lin Feng could memorize all the information in just a few dozen seconds; he wasn't a photocopier, how could he be so efficient…

Seeing Wu Mei remain silent, Lin Feng thought she believed him and felt a sense of relief. Finally, I've met a companion who trusts my incredible memory. That's truly rare!
