Chapter 690: Unexpected
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.
