“The Zhou family?” Chu Ning immediately sat up straight. “The Zhou family of A City?”
Yun Yu nodded. Chu Ning immediately thought of Zhou Hao and Zhou Wei, but Zhou Wei was on the cruise ship. Did the Zhou family not inform him of this operation?
Su Ming looked at Chu Ning, who was deep in thought, and even cracked a small joke. “It seems like Ms. Chu remembers her enemies very clearly. This little clue already points in such a clear direction.”
Chu Ning rolled her eyes speechlessly. “I’m targeted just because it’s convenient. You should think about what to do with those targeting you!” Su Ming was momentarily rendered speechless by Chu Ning’s words.
Yan Shen was silent for a long time. At this moment, he suddenly said, “Mr. Yun Yu, do you know anything else?”
Yun Yu repeatedly shook his head. “The rest is my gossip. Do you want to hear it now?”
Yan Shen eyelids twitched. He smiled and said, “There’s no rush. It’s already very late today. Why don’t we go back first and think about things carefully?
We can continue our discussion tomorrow.”
Chu Ning saw the look that Yan Shen was giving her and knew that he had something to say. She nodded. “I’ll go back and think about it carefully. Who in the Zhou family wants to kill me?”
Su Ming had the same thought. He could not say that his father was on the cruise ship, but he still had to discuss such a big matter with him. That was why it was best for them to go back and think about it.
He quickly nodded in agreement and looked at Yun Yu. “Since Mr. Yun Yu still has stories to tell, then stay on the cruise ship for two more days.”
Yun Yu’s face immediately revealed a look of surprise. Even his face, which lacked sunlight, looked somewhat human.
Yun Yu was escorted back to his room by the bodyguards. Chu Ning and Yan Shen walked back together.
Su Ming quickly went to the room on the top floor of the cruise ship and knocked on the door.
There was no sound coming within. Su Ming pushed it open and saw his father sitting in front of the surveillance camera. The screen showed the room he had just been in. There was also a bodyguard standing beside him with a walkie-talkie in his hand.
Su Ming understood that nothing that happened on the cruise ship could escape Su Kun.
“What do you think?” Su Kun asked when he heard the sound of someone entering.
Su Ming walked quickly to Su Kun’s side and lowered his head. “Could it be that those families are teaming up to bring down our family?”
Su Kun frowned and cast Su Ming a glance. “After spending ages, you merely came to such a conclusion?”
Su Ming lowered his head in shame. He did not dare to look at Su Kun’s expression.
Su Kun raised his hand, and the people in the room immediately retreated, leaving only the father and son pair.
Su Kun asked Su Ming to sit down and said to him, “Someone from the rest area came by just now. A waiter called Zhou Yi followed Wu Ling into a room.”
Su Ming immediately looked towards Su Kun, knowing that he had found a breakthrough.
Su Kun continued, “To be precise, he followed Wu Ling all the way and then held him hostage before he opened the door.”
“Isn’t he afraid that the people around him will report him if they see him?” Su Ming asked in surprise.
Su Kun sneered. “His master is an idiot. How smart can his subordinates be? He thought that the rest area was filled with their people and that they would pretend to be blind.”
Su Ming’s eyes grew brighter. “Then what did they talk about?”
Su Kun frowned. “How many times have I told you? Don’t show your emotions on your face. Don’t let your opponent know what you’re thinking. Look at you; how anxious you are!”
Su Ming lowered his head once more at being reprimanded, and did not dare to ask anything further.
Su Kun took a sip of water. “There’s a recording device installed on the doorbell of every room. It was switched on remotely when the two of them entered the room.”
Su Kun looked at Su Ming, who had lowered his head, and was filled with anger. “You already know that there’s something wrong with Wu Ling, yet you’re still wasting time with Yun Yu, that messenger. Don’t you know how to send someone to watch Wu Ling?”
Su Ming did not dare to utter a single word. This was the first time he had faced a fight between families, and he was not familiar with methods of dealing with this. It was only normal for his father, who had high expectations of him, to scold him so harshly.
Su Kun wished that he could slap him on the head and pour all of his years of experience into him..
