Qin Zongye picked up the cookie, looked at it, and smelled a fragrance. Few people here knew how to make this kind of snack.

Qin Zongye couldn't help but take a closer look at the woman selling things. He was stunned for a moment. He had been involved in the Qin family's business since he was a teenager and had met all kinds of people. He could tell at a glance that the woman in front of him had deliberately dressed herself up.

Her dressing style is not very good, and it does not make her look beautiful, but ugly and old.

In Qin Zongye's eyes, the woman in front of him had an extraordinary temperament and did not look like someone who made a living by running a small business.

Qin Zongye's eyes flickered, and he asked with a subtle smile, "Sister-in-law, did you make this snack yourself?"

When Ye Shuning heard the crew members call the young and handsome man in front of them "Second Master", she knew that this man was no ordinary person.

The man in front of him was in his twenties, with a face as white as jade, thick black eyebrows, deep eyes, a high nose bridge, and slightly thin lips. Overall, he looked absolutely handsome. Furthermore, he carried an air of nobility, and it was clear at first glance that he came from an extraordinary family.

She didn't dare to be careless and answered obediently, "I made this myself. I heard that there were more people buying food here at the pier, so I came here to try selling it."

Qin Zongye nodded and said, "No wonder you look unfamiliar to me. I've never seen you selling anything here before. I'm very interested in your cakes. Can I try some? If they're delicious, I'll buy them all."

Ye Shuning wanted to sneak onto the boat, not to really sell anything, but she felt that the man in front of her was difficult to deal with, and that she would attract too much attention. It would be impossible for her to hide on the boat without being noticed by others.

The crew members also noticed Ye Shuning's hesitation and said, "Sister-in-law, this is our master, the second young master of the Nangang Qin family. He is an upright person, don't be afraid."

Ye Shuning didn't expect this man to be of this status. She said, "Mr. Qin, please feel free to try them. These snacks of mine are all good quality and very affordable. I'm just afraid that with your status, you wouldn't be interested in them."

Qin Zongye often went out to sea with the crew, and he was not the kind of person who was arrogant. He raised his hand and put a piece of cookie into his mouth, and his eyes lit up after tasting it. His daughter's snack tasted really good, and he could taste that the snack was indeed made with good ingredients.

He tried a few other varieties, all of which were delicious. Qin Zongye often visited Country C, and there were two snacks he had never seen before. He probably thought the woman had made them herself. He hadn't expected her to have such skill.

Qin Zongye said, "I want all your snacks. Please give me this basket as well."

Ye Shuning hadn't expected Mr. Qin to actually buy her dim sum, and even pay for it all. If she hadn't sold anything, how could she still be here, using the excuse of selling dim sum to gather information?

Could this person have done this on purpose? But she still had fruit in her basket, which she could sell as well.

Ye Shuning couldn't help but glance at the man in front of her. She didn't dare to refuse and pretended to be very happy and said, "Thank you so much, Mr. Qin. This basket is for you as well."

Qin Zongye didn't take the basket, but said, "Sister-in-law, could you please send the snacks to my boat? I don't have any money on me, so I can pay you once we're on board."

Ye Shuning frowned and hesitated after hearing Mr. Qin's request. She was afraid that the person in front of her was not a good person, and she was afraid that she would just escape from the tiger's den and fall into the wolf's den.

Qin Zongye also noticed the hesitation of the woman in front of him, and did not force her any further. He was about to say forget it when Ye Shuning said, "Okay, then I'll go on board with you."

In order to avoid suspicion, Ye Shuning agreed to the second young master's request and followed him on board.

She thought that this person was not a bad person and would not make things difficult for her.

Qin Zongye brought Ye Shuning to the ship, went to a cabin and said, "Put the basket on the table, I'll get you the money."

As he said that, he really took out some money and handed it to Ye Shuning.

Ye Shuning saw that this person really just wanted her to deliver the things to the boat and pay her. She couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and took the money.

"Then I'll be going downstairs, Mr. Qin. Are you busy?" Then he walked out.

Ye Shuning breathed a sigh of relief after successfully exiting the cabin and began to observe the cargo ship. She looked around and saw that most of the crew members were unloading cargo or lightly checking the cargo under the ship.

Seeing no one was paying attention to her, Ye Shuning suddenly grabbed a rope and quickly walked to the seaward side of the boat. She quickly tied the rope to the iron railing and dropped the other end into the water. This side, facing the sea, wouldn't be easily noticed. If she was discovered, she'd be in trouble.

If she had no better idea, she would dive into the sea and use the rope to see if she could sneak onto the ship.

After getting off the boat, Ye Shuning asked around and found out that today there was only one boat from the Qin family going to Nangang. If she wanted to leave here and go to Nangang today, she could only board this boat.

Ye Shuning found out that the Qin family's boat would not depart until the next morning, which gave her an opportunity. She could dive into the sea at night and see if she could sneak onto the Qin family's boat.

Ye Shuning left the port and found a deserted spot to go into the research institute to accompany Li Jingyu and comfort the little one. She didn't dare to hang out outside all the time, as it would be troublesome if she was discovered by those who had arrested her before.

After finally making it to night, Ye Shuning coaxed Li Jingyu to sleep and then went to the harbor and went out to sea. Under the cover of darkness, she rowed her fishing boat slowly towards the location where the Qin family's cargo ship was docked.

Ye Shuning observed with a telescope for a while and found the Qin family's ship. She saw that their cargo had been unloaded and was still being loaded, even at night.

Ye Shuning quietly made her way under cover of darkness to the vicinity of the Qin family's cargo ship. She then packed up her fishing boat and swam under the water. She found the rope she had tied during the day. Seeing that the rope hadn't been discovered, Ye Shuning was overjoyed.

She grabbed the rope and climbed up little by little. Before sticking her head out, she used her mental power to observe that there was no one around, then quickly climbed onto the boat. Then she untied the rope and put it away, and quickly found an empty cabin to hide in.

At this time, the crew members were busy loading cargo, and no one noticed that someone had secretly boarded the ship.

After entering the cabin, Ye Shuning saw that there was no one else there, so she went straight into the research institute. Seeing that Li Jingyu was still asleep, she felt relieved.

She left the research institute again and released her mental power to find a place on the ship where infrequently used items were stored. No one should often go to that cabin, so Ye Shuning hid in it.

After spending a night at the research institute, Ye Shuning returned to the ship. She was worried that if the ship moved, she would not be able to follow it in the research institute's space. She wanted to test whether entering the research institute on a moving object would move with it.
