He thought about it again and realized that it made sense. The Su family was one of the top families in the world. It was not one that could be suppressed by families like the Lu family, who purely depended on how long they’d been in existence.
However, Chu Zhe still reminded him, “Mr. Su, don’t forget to return the phone to Wu Ling later; Xiao Ning wouldn’t be so easily fooled.” Chu Zhe smiled teasingly.
Su Kun put on a straight face and pretended to be serious. “That sister of yours is really intelligent.”
However, he abruptly smiled, tone a little smug. “Even if she guessed it, she wouldn’t tell anyone. With her that brain of hers, could it be that she can’t figure out my intentions?”
When Chu Zhe heard Su Kun praise Chu Ning, he was happier than if he himself had been praised. He also joked, “She’s still young. Don’t let her know that there’s an adult behind her. She’ll just spread her hands and ignore everything. ”
Chu Ning, whom they were talking about, was waiting anxiously with Zhou Wei and Yan Shen. They had already done things up to that point, and no one wanted to fail at the last step.
Fortunately, Su Ming returned with Wu Ling’s phone before long, and the joy on his face was reflected in everyone’s eyes.
Chu Ning and the other two let out a sigh of relief. Su Ming sat down on the sofa and shook the phone in his hand. “Fortunately, Wu Ling should have been frightened by the surrounding bodyguards and did not consider sending out messages.”
Su Ming remembered that the person standing next to Wu Ling was his father’s most capable secretary. He also remembered Su Kun’s instructions. On the way back, he thought of an excuse to not mention Su Kun and to fool them regarding this matter.
Chu Ning had only been nodding her head to show that she got it, but she suddenly noticed Su Ming’s gaze from the corner of her eye. He was secretly observing them, and when the three of them showed that they believed him, he actually secretly let out a sigh of relief.
Chu Ning immediately became revitalized. She narrowed her eyes and sized Su Ming up openly. When she saw that his grip was tightening and that the phone was already making creaking sounds, she finally shifted her gaze away.
“Something’s wrong”, Chu Ning thought. “Something’s definitely wrong. Wu Ling definitely was not so scared that he forgot. Someone must have been watching him and taken his phone away.”
Chu Ning spun this thought in her head. She already had a suitable candidate in her mind. It was probably Mr. Su Kun. Other than him, no one else could do this on the cruise ship without anyone noticing and even ask Su Ming to cover it up for him.
Chu Ning went along this line of thought and quickly understood. It was probably because they wanted to train their heir. On the surface, they looked like they were letting go and did not care at all. In fact, they had long woven a big net behind his back. Let alone the few of them, even if they tied up a dog, they would not fail this time.
Chu Ning remembered her previous guess and deliberately glanced around.
Sure enough, she found a surveillance camera in the corner of the ceiling. Chu Ning stared at the surveillance camera for a while until Yan Shen realized that something was up with her.
Yan Shen followed her gaze and saw that it was a surveillance camera and asked in puzzlement, “Is there something wrong with this surveillance camera?”
Su Ming’s heart pounded. He was worried that Chu Ning might have discovered something.
When Chu Ning saw his expression, she knew why Su Kun pretended to let go and let Su Ming experience things for himself. This fellow’s acting skills were probably only good when he was being polite. With his current expression, he probably had everything on his mind written on his face.
Chu Ning suddenly had a bad taste in her mouth. She curled her lips into a smile and stared at Su Ming for a few seconds, but she only asked, “Didn’t you tell Mr. Su about what happened on the cruise? What did he say?”
Su Ming choked. He almost thought that Chu Ning was going to ask him if his father was on the cruise ship. With such a huge change, he was momentarily at a loss for words.
However, he quickly adjusted himself and responded as if nothing had happened. “Ah, my father said that he would let me fully be in charge.” Su Ming thought to himself that this was not considered a lie. After all, that was what his father had said.
Chu Ning let out a long ‘oh’. The sarcasm in her voice made Zhou Wei and Yan Shen look at the two of them. Yan Shen still didn’t say anything, looking like he was going to stay silent until the end.
However, Zhou Wei’s expression was slightly strange. It was clear that he could read what Chu Ning had left unspoken. There was a hint of curiosity in his eyes when he looked at Su Ming..
