Chu Ning’s mind was spinning rapidly. “And this conspiracy is obviously aimed at the Su family. It should be the same as the farce we saw before we boarded the cruise. The people in Jing City probably wouldn’t make a big deal out of it. After all, there were too many people involved. Even if they have big family businesses, they would still be worried.”

Yan Shen nodded. “I heard from my father that those families in Jing City are getting worse year by year. As long as they hold some power, they will already be looking for another way out.”

Chu Ning’s eyes lit up. “Then the situation is very clear. Those few families in Jing City need to swallow a family to strengthen themselves. At the same time, they need to intimidate the subordinates who are harboring disloyal thoughts.”

The two of them looked at each other and Chu Ning continued, “Then he, or they, chose the Su family.”

Yan Shen listened to Chu Ning’s analysis, his frown not easing up. “Then why didn’t the Su family react? Waiting for those few clans to make their move?”

“No reaction?” Chu Ning shook her head. “This event was probably a trap set up by the richest man.”

She looked at Yan Shen and revealed a sly smile. “I feel even more certain that the richest man himself is on the cruise ship. For such a huge matter, if we rely on Su Ming alone, he might not be at ease.”

Yan Shen looked at his watch and realized that it was getting late. “Since you don’t think there’s any danger, let’s leave it at that for today. Rest early and recuperate. We’ll think of a countermeasure tomorrow.”

Hearing Yan Shen’s words, Chu Ning also felt a little sleepy. She agreed.

Looking at the worry written on Yan Shen’s face, Chu Ning comforted him, “They won’t make a move so soon. At the very least, they have to wait till the return trip or till the ship has docked before they can make a move. We still have time to plan.”

Yan Shen nodded. After saying goodnight to Chu Ning, he returned to his room. After Chu Ning finished washing up, she lay on the bed, thinking about everything that had happened that night. She had a feeling that Yun Yu was definitely cannon fodder.

Chu Ning sighed to herself. As expected of someone from Jing City. Their methods were really not simple. They actually used the heir of a small family as cannon fodder, even though this heir and family were not very smart.

Chu Ning soon fell into a deep sleep. On the other hand, Yan Shen had been worried that someone was going to kill Chu Ning. Even when he was lying on the bed, he tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.

Su Ming was looking at the monitor on the screen. He then called over the waiters in the rest area and instructed them carefully.

Even Chu Ning didn’t expect that the richest man, whom she said was monitoring everything on the cruise ship, was chatting with someone at this moment.

The two of them sat face to face, and the ambience while they were conversing was rather harmonious.

Su Kun smiled kindly. “I thought that you were a monster. I didn’t expect that your sister is not bad either.”

Chu Zhe replied politely, “Mr. Su, you flatter me. I’m not hotheaded. It just so happened that Mr. Su appreciated me and was willing to give me a chance.” Thinking of Chu Ning, a smile appeared on Chu Zhe’s serious face. “My little sister is just a child. It’s just that she’s a little smart.”

Although Chu Zhe said that, he was incredibly proud. Chu Zhe and Su Kun knew everything that Chu Ning had said, whether it was to Su Ming or Yan Shen.

He was very happy that his sister had such insight, courage, and prudence, getting things done in a reasonable fashion. She was indeed his sister.

Su Kun laughed. “Don’t be so humble. You might say that, but you might be happy inside.” Su Kun thought about his son. “If only Xiao Ming was half as smart as your sister when he was her age.”

Chu Zhe shook his head in disagreement. “Young Master Su is also a dragon among men. Mr. Su’s words really flatter my sister too much.”

If Chu Ning had been there, she would probably be shocked. After all, she knew that her brother would be a big shot in the business world in the future. She did not expect him to already be connected to the richest man. Moreover, her taciturn brother knew how to speak courteously, and did it so smoothly. It would definitely be an eye-opener for Chu Ning.

Su Kun helplessly said, “Look at his performance today. It’s clearly his home ground. Not only did he let the key person escape, but he also missed the opportunity and listened to a bunch of useless news. He can’t even compare to the old lady at the eastern end of the village. At least she’s well-informed..”
