CHAPTER 468: CHAPTER 468: THERE IS A BET

Suddenly, a violent wind arose, and a torrential downpour swept over.

A small helicopter hovered above the Charming Nine Sect, struggling to maintain stability due to the heavy rain, swaying in the air several times before it managed to steady its direction.

Inside the cabin, Shi Yu and Qin Jin sat by the window, observing the island below.

The buildings on the island were shrouded in a layer of mist, making them indistinct.

Qin Jin retracted his gaze, flicked the ash off his cigarette with his fingertips, then took another drag.

"This really is a hard place to find."

Smoke rings were slowly exhaled from his mouth; his face had a smile, reckless with a touch of defiance.

Shi Yu leaned back in his seat, his well-defined fingers rubbing back and forth on that unlit cigarette.

He was frowning, silent, evidently deep in thought.

Qin Jin glanced at him with a cigarette in his mouth, and after a few puffs, he slanted his face to ask, "Feng Jiu Mei, know her?"

Shi Yu closed his eyes, his handsome face revealing a trace of weariness, and he hummed a sound, "I know her."

"Very well?"

"From childhood."

"Got a grudge?"

"There’s a bet."

"What’s it about?"

"A bet on a love that can withstand life and death; whoever loses dies."

His thin lips parted lightly, and he spoke each word with forceful clarity.

After an unknown period, he opened his eyes, his deep and inscrutable gaze chilling, "If I lose this game, remember to take my woman out of this damn place."

The helicopter slowly descended onto an open field, and after stabilizing, Shi Yu and Qin Jin pushed open the cabin door and descended from the aircraft.

"Damn it!" After a glance at the sea, Qin Jin grew angry, "No road? Do we have to swim across!"

Shi Yu narrowed his eyes, observing the calm sea surface, then Leng Chen spoke, "There has to be a way."

With that said, he strode forward.

Without the slightest hesitation, he walked into the water; the water submerged his shoes, then his knees, and he kept moving forward...

Qin Jin understood his temperament too well; he knew that without full confidence, Shi Yu would never do such a thing.

So, he didn’t try to stop Shi Yu but hurried to follow him.

The icy water, with its bone-chilling cold, pierced through skin and seeped into the marrow, but for the two grown men, it seemed to be nothing.

About ten meters out, the ground beneath them became stable, and the depth of the water just reached their waists.

"Motherfucker! How perverse! To design a path like this!" Qin Jin couldn’t help but curse angrily.

But Shi Yu remained calm, his lips lifting slightly, "Past this, it must be fraught with mechanisms."

Qin Jin: "..."

It’s so melodramatic!

Because of the time they spent soaking in the water, both were somewhat unstable as they got ashore.

Shi Yu had strong adaptability and quickly regained his composure.

Seeing the password-locked door, he furrowed his brows and walked over, randomly pressing two numbers on the keypad and then hit confirm.

Just then, a mechanical system prompt sounded: "Please enter a sixteen-digit password, then click confirm!"

"Please enter a sixteen-digit password, then click confirm."

"Please enter a sixteen-digit password, then click confirm..."

The system continued its prompts, and Shi Yu’s brain was racing rapidly.

Qin Jin, on the other hand, felt once again, how perverse!

Damn it, a sixteen-digit password! Who could possibly break it?

"Stop thinking, just break the door down."

Thinking about passwords and such is not as simple and direct as brute force.
