Chapter 306 The Lin Family Main Branch's Large Ship "By the way, recently you..."
"By the way, you need to be careful lately, there are some..." Lin Luoluo was about to give her a detailed reminder when she heard a soft cough behind her.
Sang Zhitao looked in the direction of the voice and saw a middle-aged man standing not far away, nodding slightly to her.
"Dad?" Lin Luoluo frowned slightly, looking at the person who came in with a puzzled expression.
The middle-aged man quickly walked up to her and looked at Sang Zhitao, saying, "I'd like to invite you to stay here for a few days sometime."
Sang Zhitao sensed his implied urging, smiled and greeted Lin Luoluo, then turned and left the Lin family's merchant ship.
Watching her ship speed forward, Lin Luoluo frowned and looked at her father: "Dad, why won't you let me tell Tao Tao that all the major families are looking for her here?"
Lin's father sighed softly and patted her head: "This matter can be spread from any ship, but it must not be spread from our ship. We can no longer withstand another round of ransacking by the main force."
Lin Luoluo pursed her lips and angrily slammed her fist on the railing: "We can't just keep avoiding it like this, can we?"
Lin's father gazed into the distance and said softly, "Of course not, but we can't let them find any new leverage right now. Let's wait a little longer."
"What about Taozi's side?" Lin Luoluo looked worriedly in the direction Sang Zhitao had left.
Mr. Lin smiled slightly: "Don't worry."
Lin Luoluo looked at her father suspiciously, not understanding the meaning behind his smile.
However, when he saw a middle-aged butler approaching, he swallowed his question.
"Mr. Lin, Ms. Lin, are you receiving guests?" The middle-aged butler appeared respectful, but his eyes revealed disdain.
Lin Luoluo gripped the railing tightly, took a deep breath, and turned her head away, ignoring the other person.
Lin's father smiled apologetically at the other party: "It's just a child's temper."
"That was a friend of the child; we ran into each other just now." Mr. Lin didn't intend to go into details. He skipped over the details and then asked the other person, "Butler Lin, how did the examination go?"
After giving the father and daughter a suspicious look, Butler Lin sneered and said, "You two are quite honest. I'll put in a good word for you with the young master."
With that, he turned and left.
Lin Luoluo glared at the other person, her teeth grinding together.
Lin's father patted her hand gently and said in a low voice, "Don't worry, we'll take care of it once we're out of the main ship's communication range."
Lin Luoluo nodded, still feeling uneasy, and turned to go back to her room with the bell in her arms.
Lin's father watched her leave and sighed softly.
Sang Zhitao couldn't help but smile as she looked at the supplies being delivered to the ship's cabin.
These were all prepared for her by Lin Luoluo, enough to ensure that she wouldn't need to purchase goods from merchant ships for the next year.
Sang Zhitao chuckled as she moved the boxes of supplies that occupied most of the living room into the warehouse.
When there were only two or three boxes left, she suddenly noticed that one of the boxes had been opened, and she could vaguely see a small white pointed corner sticking out from inside.
Sang Zhitao frowned, drew a dagger from her waist, and made a light slash.
A white letter was placed on the top layer of the box.
Sang Zhitao opened the envelope with suspicion.
After reading it carefully, she realized that the letter contained Lin's father's instructions.
It details the origin of their discovery of the Sangzhitao protective shield, the main vein's reaction after reporting it, and the current situation.
Several prominent families were eyeing her affairs, a fact she had already learned through Xue Minghua while she was in the Xue family.
She now understood why she had been discovered.
Although Sang Zhitao already knew most of the information in the letter, she was still very grateful for Lin's father's reminder.
She felt more and more that giving the bell to the other person was the right decision.
The ship continued forward in this manner.
During her journey, she encountered several level 3 and 4 natural disasters, as well as many ordinary ships that were barely able to sail, and the wreckage of ships that had already been destroyed in the natural disasters.
But she never saved another bell, nor did she give anyone a proper funeral.
Most of the shipwrecks that Sang Zhitao encountered were accompanied by the remains of corpses, and almost none of these corpses were intact.
That day, she received a notification from the ship's system that a first-class ship was nearby.
Sang Zhitao had no intention of dealing with those powerful families, so she quickly activated the system to avoid them.
But at that very moment, she discovered through her binoculars that the ship was actually the large ship that Zhifeng had once traveled to the main branch of the Lin family.
Sang Zhitao frowned. She really wanted to see Zhifeng and tell him that she had regained her past memories, but she hesitated.
One reason is that, as Lin's father said in his letter, the reason why the various prominent families were looking for her this time was because of the main branch of the Lin family.
Secondly, she hesitated whether to tell Zhifeng that she had past memories, since according to her current memories, she had no relation to the childhood playmate in Zhifeng's memories.
In that brief moment of hesitation, the Lin family's main ship had already blocked her path.
Seeing the hostile look on the other party's face, Sang Zhitao knew that there was no way to avoid it now.
She silently stopped the ship and stood on the deck, looking at the massive structure that seemed enormous compared to her own vessel.
"Miss Sang, the head of the family requests your presence." She didn't have to wait long before a middle-aged butler appeared on the other side's deck.
Sang Zhitao rubbed the dagger at her waist for a moment, then silently climbed the rope ladder that the other party had set up.
"My name is Lin Qing, and I am the head steward of the Lin family's main branch." The middle-aged steward nodded politely to her with a fake smile.
“Sang Zhitao.” Sang Zhitao nodded gently.
The other party didn't seem to care about Sang Zhitao's cold attitude and continued to lead the way with a smile.
Sang Zhitao could tell that although the large ship had some minor scratches, it looked brand new compared to Lin Luoluo's merchant ship.
She remembered that the last time she saw this large ship, the Lin family's ship was not this new.
Seemingly understanding her meaning from her sweeping glances, Lin Qing chuckled and explained, "The Lin family is a united family, especially the branches, which greatly respect the main branch."
Sang Zhitao couldn't help but secretly purse her lips.
Seeing her attitude, the butler lowered his eyes and smiled before continuing to lead the way: "I heard that Miss Sang and Zhifeng are good friends. It just so happens that Zhifeng is now serving the young master. You two can catch up."
Sang Zhitao frowned upon hearing this. She remembered Lin Luoluo saying that Zhifeng was doing very well now.
Although I don't understand how serving others can be considered a good life, I just assume it's a difference in perspectives.
But she felt there was something more to the housekeeper's words.
With that thought in mind, she followed the other person into the magnificent living room.
The living room here is decorated in a style similar to that of the Xue family's large ship, even more luxurious.
On the sofa in the living room, a handsome young man in his thirties was smiling at them.
A smiling tiger!
The moment Sang Zhitao saw the other person, a few words popped into her mind.
"Miss Sang, I've heard so much about you." Young Master Lin smiled very gently.
If Lin's father and Lin Luoluo hadn't informed her of some things beforehand, Sang Zhitao would have definitely thought the other party was a refined gentleman.
"Hello." Sang Zhitao nodded slightly to him, then turned her gaze to Zhifeng, who was standing behind him.
“Stop the wind.” Sang Zhitao’s face showed surprise.
She didn't understand why Zhifeng was so frighteningly thin when Lin Luoluo had said before that she was doing well.
Zhi Feng slightly raised his eyes, nodded to her, his brows and eyes filled with complex emotions.
Young Master Lin's eyes darkened slightly for a moment before he smiled and looked between her and Zhifeng: "You two catch up first, I have some things to attend to."
Before leaving, he turned back to look at Zhifeng and gently reminded him, "Zhifeng, you should spend some quality time with Miss Sang."
Zhi Feng nodded expressionlessly and watched the other person leave.
As soon as he left, Sang Zhitao hurried forward, took Zhifeng's thin hands, and her eyes reddened for a moment: "Zhifeng, how did you get so thin?"
She lowered her head and held Zhifeng's hand tenderly.
Zhi Feng looked down at the top of her head, his eyes filled with complex emotions.
"It's alright..."
Her voice was somewhat hoarse.
Sang Zhitao looked up at her in surprise, then glanced around: "Where are your uncle and aunt? Aren't they on the boat?"
Zhi Feng opened his mouth, unsure how to face his friend.
Sang Zhitao, however, guessed the reason from her silence.
"Is it... a level four natural disaster?" Sang Zhitao looked at the other person with fervent eyes.
Zhi Feng nodded slightly.
Sang Zhitao wiped away her tears before quickly speaking, "Do you want to...?"
"You have new protective technology?" But she was interrupted by Zhifeng before she could finish her sentence.
Sang Zhitao was taken aback, then shook her head with a wry smile: "What skills do I have?"
Zhi Feng's brows relaxed slightly.
But Sang Zhitao's next move made her eyes suddenly sharpen.
Looking at the green light in Sang Zhitao's palm, and the water glass protected by the green light, Zhifeng looked up at her, and after a long while, hesitantly asked, "What is this?"
Sang Zhitao was silent for a moment before shaking her head: "I don't know, it just appeared suddenly."
Zhi Feng looked up at her, staring at her until Sang Zhi Tao felt a little uneasy, before finally saying, "I see..."
Looking into her somewhat vacant eyes, Sang Zhitao felt a bad premonition for some reason.
"It seems the two of you have finished catching up?" Sang Zhitao was about to explain something when she was interrupted by Young Master Lin, who suddenly walked in.
"Young Master." Zhi Feng bowed respectfully to him.
Young Master Lin gave her a meaningful look before turning to Sang Zhitao: "I've heard that Miss Sang is a very capable person. I wonder if you would be interested in staying on the ship? My Lin family will certainly treat you as an honored guest."
Sang Zhitao smiled and shook her head: "Young Master, you're too kind. I'm just an ordinary person."
Young Master Lin glanced at Zhi Feng: "I see..."
Sang Zhitao looked up at the time, smiled and said, "I boarded the ship to see a good friend. It's getting late, so I'll take my leave now."
The smile on Young Master Lin's face vanished abruptly. He glanced coldly at Zhi Feng before turning to Sang Zhi Tao: "Is that so? But I'd like to keep Miss Sang as a guest for a few more days."
Sang Zhitao frowned slightly, feigning helplessness as she looked at him: "A guest?"
Young Master Lin winked at Sang Zhitao behind her back before sitting down on the sofa.
He paused for a moment after taking a sip of tea in his mouth before smiling and saying, "I hate using force the most, but most people only listen to me when I use force."
Sang Zhitao sensed that people were surrounding her from behind.
These people exuded a murderous aura, and it was clear that they had blood on their hands.
"I've heard you have a very advanced security system." Young Master Lin looked at her, his smile like that of a wolf, his eyes filled with greed. "My Lin family is very interested."
“I don’t have it.” Sang Zhitao shook her head. “I’m just an ordinary person, how could I have such information?”
As she spoke, she gestured to Zhifeng: "Zhifeng and I grew up together, she knows me best."
Young Master Lin glanced sideways at Zhifeng: "Really? Zhifeng?"
Zhi Feng raised his empty, lifeless eyes and remained silent for a long time before slowly speaking: "I don't understand."
Sang Zhitao was surprised by her words and looked up at her abruptly.
Young Master Lin's lips curled into a smile: "Miss Sang, look..."
