Bang!
Qin Long slammed his fist onto the table, reducing the metal surface to dust.
"White Bear is truly a piece of trash, to have died at Qin Hui's hands!"
"Qin Hui, very well. I haven't settled the score with you from last time, and now I'll cripple you personally!"
Qin Long was furious.
Last time Qin Hui came to Yan Jing, Qin Long hadn't taken him seriously, considering him an ignorant and arrogant person. Now, it seemed that he himself was the truly ignorant and arrogant one.
Losing two key subordinates in succession had cost Qin Long face.
Logically, back in the ancient tomb, very few people knew that Qin Hui had killed White Bear, only Leng Mu and Bai Ling.
Leng Mu was a member of the Dragon Patrol, and had a life-or-death friendship with Qin Hui. The Qin family naturally dared not do anything to him.
But Bai Ling was different. She was alone and helpless. Faced with the behemoth that was the Qin family, she could only reveal the truth.
The end result for Bai Ling was death. Not only did the Qin family seize the treasures she had obtained, but they also took her life.
In the face of the entire Qin family, she was as weak and helpless as an ant. This was the fate of the weak.
"Young Master, your wedding is next month. Why bother with a mere nobody at a time like this? Let me handle this matter."
A martial artist stepped forward and said.
"That's right, Young Master. Such a character doesn't require your personal intervention. Leave it to us."
The other martial artists also stepped forward to pledge their loyalty.
"I know what you're thinking, but Lone Wolf and White Bear are both dead. Even if you go, it'll be suicide. I want to kill this Qin Hui myself and show those people that Qin Long is not to be trifled with!"
Qin Long stood up and said coldly.
Yan Jing was vast, but it was also small, for the core of its interests lay with a few major families. If Qin Hui wasn't killed, wouldn't the Qin family and the Sun family become equals?
...
Night fell, and the cold wind howled.
Waves of sea breeze lashed against the yacht, making even those asleep feel its immense sway.
"Get up, all of you, stop sleeping like dead pigs."
The first mate's voice echoed outside the rooms.
Qin Hui and Li Da Zhuang exchanged a smile, knowing that the despicable first mate was here to cause trouble again.
Soon, everyone had dressed and gathered in the briefing hall.
"We'll be working overtime tonight, heading towards our destination!"
The first mate ordered with a serious expression.
Looking at the fierce wind outside, the crew leader hesitated for a moment before finally speaking, "First Mate, the wind direction outside is clearly not right. For safety's sake, we should avoid the sea wind."
"Do you think I don't know such simple logic? But this is Young Master Qian's decision. He is our benefactor, and if we deviate from this route, we will be several days late for the agreed upon date."
It was rare to see the first mate babbling so much.
Seeing the first mate's firm stance, the others stopped talking and went to work.
Some decisions were not something they, the sailors, could influence.
"Qian Chao, with such strong winds outside, won't there be any trouble?"
Wang Xiaoyan asked with some concern. She was also full of anticipation for this wedding.
"Xiaoyan, don't worry. They are all professional sailors and a team. A little wind and waves won't stop them."
Qian Chao placed a hand on Wang Xiaoyan's fair shoulder, patiently and indulgently.
Wang Xiaoyan hesitated for a moment before finally nodding. Although Qian Chao wasn't her first choice, her family was facing financial difficulties, and she had to marry him to save her family.
The only thing Wang Xiaoyan was grateful for was that Qian Chao treated her reasonably well. It was difficult to find someone you loved sometimes; living a simple life was the most important thing.
"Xiaoyan, look at how much I've sacrificed for you. Let's have a pleasant time here tonight."
Qian Chao pulled the woman before him into his arms. As an expert at seducing women, he naturally knew how to conquer them. Dealing with Wang Xiaoyan, who had a gentle personality, was his specialty; a little sweet talk was all it took.
Wang Xiaoyan's face blushed slightly, as Qian Chao's hand had already moved to her thigh.
Although she was quite fond of Qian Chao, she wanted to save her first time for their wedding night.
Soon, Wang Xiaoyan pushed Qian Chao away. "Qian Chao, I... I still can't do it. Can we wait until we're married? After we're married, I'll give you everything."
Looking at the gentle and lovely beauty in his arms, Qian Chao couldn't resist any longer. In the past, he would have already thrown this woman onto the bed, but considering the Qin family's influence, Qian Chao held back.
Impatience could ruin a great plan.
"Alright, I respect you."
Qian Chao reluctantly released Wang Xiaoyan, a hint of disappointment flashing in his eyes.
"Then you should sleep early too."
Wang Xiaoyan left Qian Chao's room with a hint of apology.
Watching Wang Xiaoyan's stunning silhouette disappear from view, Qian Chao sighed helplessly.
Many people were attending his wedding, including beautiful and noble ladies. In the past, Qian Chao would have gone looking for other women, but to be safe, he restrained himself.
Once he had secured this woman, he'd show her all his skills!
Whoosh~
Whoosh~
Whoosh~
Qin Hui listened to the fierce howling of the sea wind outside, his heart filled with awe.
Sometimes, humans were truly too weak in the face of nature.
"Brother Hui, the sea wind outside is too strong. I think it's turning into a tsunami. Continuing to sail forward at this time is like courting death, isn't it?"
Li Da Zhuang grumbled, his face full of annoyance. If that Young Master Qian were standing in front of him, Li Da Zhuang would have definitely punched him to make him come to his senses.
"This yacht was funded by them. We can't help it if rich people like to play around."
Qin Hui chuckled helplessly.
After a moment of hesitation, Qin Hui finally spoke, "If something unexpected happens later, escape with me towards the northeast. I've seen the map before, and there's a nearby island there."
"Okay."
Li Da Zhuang nodded heavily.
Bang!
The yacht, which was sailing smoothly, had its guardrail directly snapped by the sea wind. Even the flag at the very top was blown down, and the second-floor glass shattered with a crackling sound.
The sky outside was overcast, and the sea wind continued to grow stronger, casting an indescribable sense of dread upon everyone's hearts.
"No, it's not good, the bottom of the ship is leaking!"
A sailor cried out in alarm.
Once the hull started leaking, the possibility of the ship sinking undoubtedly increased significantly.
"Quick, quick, change direction and sail west!"
The first mate was also frightened now. After all, one's life was the most important thing.
"It's too late! The wind is too strong, we can't change the ship's heading."
The sailor controlling the helm said in panic.
Bang!
Just as everyone was in a state of panic, a massive wave crashed onto the yacht.
The huge yacht swayed uncontrollably, like a fragile and helpless leaf boat!
