Navigator: I have a double six-story house

The golden flames faded, revealing a completely pink interior.

Pink high heels, pink shoelaces climbing up her pink calves, topped with a pink floral lotus leaf skirt.

The girl was holding a small parasol, with a butterfly hair clip on her head.

Su Qing fell silent.

He knew that this so-called "talent" was someone the Windbringer Merchant Guild had stuffed onto his ship for some reason.

This reason could be investment, relationship ties, or surveillance and control.

Therefore, he didn't care what kind of "talent" this person actually was.

But when he actually saw this energetic young woman walk out, he was genuinely puzzled.

He glanced at Mr. Zloty, his eyes seeming to say, "You're not kidding, are you?"

Mr. Zloty simply smiled in response.

"Oh dear, it seems like it worked."

The girl named Selena looked around, her gaze finally settling on Mr. Zloty's face.

"Uncle Zloty!"

"It's been years since I've seen you. How have you been?"

The girl gave Mr. Zloty a big hug. Mr. Zloty patted the girl's head and led her to Su Qing.

"This will be your future captain."

"The legendary captain of the future, Mr. Su Qing."

The girl glanced at Mr. Zloty, then looked at Su Qing and gave him a sweet smile.

"Captain, please guide me!"

After saying that, she stretched out her palm.

Su Qing looked at the dimples on the girl's face, and reached out to grasp her hand. It was slightly cool to the touch and soft as if boneless.

Please give me your guidance.

Su Qing's voice was calm. She gently squeezed his hand twice and then withdrew it.

"Oh, right."

The girl seemed to have thought of something.

"She's just an ordinary employee of the Windrise Merchant Guild, not the guild leader's daughter."

The air fell silent.

Su Qing's eyes widened, and she suddenly turned her head to look at the old fox.

He had considered that the other party might be a core member of the Wind Breeze Chamber of Commerce, but he hadn't expected them to be this core.

The old fox was currently covering his head, feeling some difficulty breathing.

This silly child!

Only Wang Yao stood with his arms crossed, adopting the posture of a senior.

"Yes, I know."

"Once you're on board, work hard. Your future achievements will definitely be greater than if you stayed in the Windrise Merchant Guild!"

Upon hearing this, the girl immediately bowed slightly to Wang Yao.

"Selena understands, Selena will do her best!"

After saying that, Selena waved her little fist.

Wang Yao nodded in satisfaction, very pleased with the newcomer.

Su Qing glanced back at Wang Yao.

Do you want to hear what you're saying?

What does a young lady from the Wind Breeze Merchant Guild need to achieve here?

He pinched the bridge of his nose and looked at Mr. Zloty.

"Mr. Zloty, what exactly do you mean by this?"

Mr. Zloty was also having the same headache. Everything was planned out, but this silly child revealed his identity.

He leaned on the sofa armrest to rest for a while.

The girl tilted her head and looked at Mr. Zloty, who was clutching his chest.

"What's wrong, Uncle Zloty? Are you feeling unwell?"

Mr. Zloty waved his hand. "I...I'm fine, Miss."

"ah!"

The girl quickly went up and covered Mr. Zloty's mouth.

She said softly, "Uncle Zloty, didn't we agree to disguise our identities? How can you call me 'Young Miss'?"

Her voice could be heard throughout the entire room.

Su Qing fell silent.

You've already started calling him "uncle," so how can you hide it now?

Whose "ordinary employee" calls their boss "uncle"?

Mr. Zloty was even more upset.

He clutched his chest, took out a small medicine bottle from his ring, shook out two pills, and swallowed them.

After a moment, he finally came to his senses and gave Su Qing an apologetic look.

"I apologize, Mr. Su Qing, for withholding some information previously."

Su Qing raised an eyebrow. "You call the young lady's identity 'partial information'?!"

Mr. Zloty continued speaking.

"Now that things have come to this, you understand her identity."

"Don't worry, the Wind Breeze Merchant Guild will never treat you unfairly."

"I cannot disclose any further information. I have only one request: I hope you can take good care of her."

"Not as a collaborator, but as an uncle."

Su Qing pondered for a moment, then nodded.

It wasn't because of Mr. Zloty's request, but because of the benefits that a young lady from the Windrise Merchant Guild could bring.

As for the risks that come with it?

Su Qing just wanted to say, let the waves come even more fiercely, I will sing loudly in the midst of the raging storm!

He only silently repeated these words to himself; he did not say them aloud.

It's not the right time yet.

On the surface, Su Qing pretended to be in a difficult position and agreed to Mr. Zloty's request.

"I understand, Mr. Zloty."

"Trust me, Miss Selena will be well taken care of."

Mr. Zloty nodded and breathed a sigh of relief. Selena had become a crew member, so at least the Chamber of Commerce's plan hadn't gone wrong.

As for the unplanned exposure of his identity...

He believed that a smart person like Su Qing wouldn't do anything foolish.

The deal is done.

"It's late tonight. The Chamber of Commerce has rooms available, so please rest here for the night and set off again tomorrow."

"it is good."

……

The following morning was Su Qing's last day on Midway Island.

Having finally had a good night's sleep, Su Qing had just finished washing up and was enjoying a hearty breakfast with the others—the kind that comes with experience.

Wang Yao's mouth was greasy from eating, partly because it tasted good, and partly because of his experience.

He was already close to reaching level five, but thanks to this breakfast, he leveled up directly to level five.

Su Qing's level was low, and after breakfast, she directly reached level three and a half.

He wiped his mouth, cursing the damned Chamber of Commerce in his heart for feeding him so well every day. He should have come over to freeload every day.

This wave of losses is truly devastating.

Especially that young lady, who only ate two elegant bites and then stopped, completely unaware of the hardships she would endure on the ship.

The four had just finished breakfast and were heading to the dock when a member of the Chamber of Commerce walked up to Mr. Zloty and whispered a few words in his ear.

He nodded and waved to indicate that he understood.

"Captain Su, your bounty has been fulfilled. We're waiting for you at the dock."

"Got it, we can take care of this while we're on our way."

Selena looked on with curiosity. "Captain, is there something interesting going on?"

Su Qing smiled and said, "That's right, Miss Selena, it's a very happy thing for me."

Selena clapped her hands, her eyes filled with anticipation.

The four of them set off together and arrived at the dock.

The sky was cloudless and blue, and seagulls cried out at the dock where there were no fries.

The dock was crowded with crew members, surrounding Su Qing's barge berth.

In the center of the crowd, three men forced Zhao Ling, whose face was bruised and swollen, to kneel in front of Su Qing's boat.

The crowd parted automatically, making way for a wide path, and Su Qing led the way.

Upon seeing this important figure arrive, the three men plastered on obsequious smiles.

"Captain Su, the people you requested are ready. This..."

Su Qing didn't say anything, but handed over five silver coins. The three of them left with smiles on their faces, leaving only Zhao Ling, who was bound by ropes and kneeling on the ground.

Zhao Ling looked up and saw Su Qing, and hurriedly kowtowed and begged for mercy.

Su Qing went over and put her hand on his shoulder.

"When you get involved, you should be prepared to face this situation."

So, promise me.

"Can't you be a little more dignified?"

Zhao Ling wanted to beg for mercy, but with a cloth strip tied around his mouth, he could only let out sobs.

Tears streamed from the corners of his eyes, whether from regret or resentment, it was hard to tell.

Su Qing waved, and Wang Yao walked over with a sunny smile.

He patted the dust off Zhao Ling's clothes.

Then he grabbed Zhao Ling's throat from behind with his arm.

"Take a deep breath; dizziness is normal."

Then he began to slowly, little by little, increase the force.

He never hesitated to inflict the most painful death upon his enemies.

Zhao Ling let out a muffled groan from his nose and struggled like a fish that had been brought ashore, but all his efforts were in vain.

His eyes were bloodshot, stained red, and all he could see was a blood-red sky.

This was the last view he could see.

Zhao Ling kicked his legs and stopped moving.
