After being tricked time and again, the boss’s temper had visibly worsened. They didn’t dare to breathe, just hoping to find the person soon.

“Notify them by radio.”

Soon, a voice came over the radio on Tatiana’s boat. At first, it was in English, but few people on the boat spoke it, and those who did knew only a few words, barely managing to communicate.

Seeing this, Tatiana took the initiative. “Let me. I’ll translate for you.”

Alita was amazed. “You know English?”

“Mm.”

“Didn’t you have amnesia?”

She was exasperated. “I just have amnesia, it’s not like my brain is broken.”

She didn’t remember her past, but some deeply ingrained skills remained. For example, she could understand what they were saying.

“We’re from Hindersville. We mean no harm, we’re just looking for someone. Have you seen a woman with black hair and black eyes…”

Tatiana translated accordingly.

“Height 168, delicate build, fair skin, exceptional features, an extremely beautiful face, with a tiny mole on her forehead…”

As she spoke, everyone on the boat turned to look at her.

Alita muttered, “Why do I feel like… they’re describing you?”

“Quick, check her forehead!”

But she lifted her hair, revealing the scar on her forehead. The crowd was disappointed.

“There’s a scar! You can’t tell if there’s a mole or not!”

Tatiana didn’t remember if she had this mole either.

Alita shook her head again. “It’s definitely not her. You had a gunshot wound. You were probably murdered. Why would the person who murdered you go to such great lengths to find you? It must be a coincidence.”

Tatiana thought about it carefully and felt that made sense.

She cleared her throat and replied, “We haven’t seen that person here.”

The other party heard this and was about to move on.

One of the Jackson family subordinates heard something. “Wait. That voice… is a bit familiar.”

They had all personally interacted with Ms. Tati and were more sensitive to her voice.

The vocal tone was about 70% similar, but it was hard to be sure through the radio static.

Acting on the principle that they couldn’t risk missing her, he commanded, “Get closer. Attach the lines. Go over and see.”

After Tatiana translated, the people on her boat tensed.

“Are you serious? We already said no. Why do they still have to come over and check?”

“They’re not planning to kill us, are they?”

“Be on guard! Everyone, be on guard!”

Tatiana looked up, staring as the large ship drew nearer, its intimidating presence washing over them.

Soon, the rope ladder was in place, and someone prepared to come down.

“Quick, get in the cabin! I promised the chieftain I’d protect you!”

“No…”

Before she could refuse, she was pushed into the cabin.

The subordinate and a crewman jumped onto the deck. They looked around, and seeing the wary looks on these stateless sea–folk, they softened their expressions. “We mean no harm. Would you mind if we check? We won’t take anything. On the contrary, this is for you, as an apology.”

The crewman brought over several crates of fresh fruits and vegetables, which looked incredibly tempting.

These items were extremely precious at sea. Their own food was all dried; they rarely had fresh produce and couldn’t afford it.

But Alita didn’t agree. She didn’t believe someone would be so kind. It had to be a trap!

Just as she was about to shake her head, the captain clapped a hand over her mouth. “Shh, don’t. talk. They’re not here to negotiate. Look.”

Alita followed his gaze, and her heart tightened. Sure enough! These men had guns!

The captain quickly said, “Of course. Please, look.”

The subordinate and crewman began to search the boat.

The boat wasn’t large and was searched quickly. Other than some worthless items, they saw no familiar faces.

One of the subordinates noticed a hidden door under the main cabin and walked over. “What’s

in here?”

Alita instantly tensed, rushing to block them. “That’s cargo! You can’t just open it, it will spoil!”

“Apologies, but we have to check. If it’s damaged, I’ll compensate you for the value.”

“You can’t!”

The subordinate slowly put his hand on his gun. “Miss, please cooperate.”
