Yan Shen took a close look and smiled. “It’s good. You look good in anything.”

Even though Chu Ning knew that Yan Shen had said this to numb Zhou Yi, her heart could not help but pound violently.

To prevent Yan Shen from seeing her burning earlobes, Chu Ning quickly said, “Then let’s leave quickly. Don’t make Mr. Su Ming wait.”

Yan Shen nodded. The pair quickened their pace and left the rest area.

Zhou Yi, who was standing at the side, still had the polite smile of a waiter on the surface. The suspicion in his heart had already been somewhat dampened.

Chu Ning’s worries were not for nothing. As a high-level thug of the Lu family,

Zhou Yi had already done many similar things for the Lu family. Even though Yun Yu was destined to be abandoned as cannon fodder, when he was brought away by Su Ming, Zhou Yi was still worried that Yun Yu would leak his plan and make Su Ming wary.

Zhou Yi’s worry and suspicion had grown, especially after Yun Yu had been taken away for such a long time, and had not been sent off the cruise ship as they had planned.

He had related this matter to the head of the Lu family during his shift at night. The order he had received was to continue to pay attention and be careful.

He knew that Wu Ling had told Yun Yu that he would kill Chu Ning, so he simply switched places with the foreman and guarded Chu Ning’s room every day, hoping to find a lopphole at the first moment.

He had also asked his brothers in the other areas to pay attention to Chu Ning’s and Yan Shen’s movements after they left the rest area that morning. They only knew that they had been called away by Su Ming halfway through and had only returned after a long time.

Zhou Yi was on guard. He had originally been prepared to report this matter to the family head that night, but the earlier conversation between Yan Shen and Chu Ning had dispeled some of his suspicions. After all, in his and the Lu family’s eyes, only Su Ming needed to be handled with some caution. As long as

Yan Shen did not die by their hands, they would not take it to heart.

As for Chu Ning, after the head of the Lu family found out that Zhou Hao wanted Zhou Yi to help him kill her, he paid attention to her because he thought highly of Zhou Hao. He felt that someone who could be remembered by Zhou Hao should have some ability. However, after he obtained more information, he simply appraised that Zhou Hao was still a calculative child.

The Lu family head thought that Chu Ning was not worth caring about at all. Other than being a little lucky, there was nothing else to be afraid of. Under the influence of the Lu family head’s contemptuous evaluation, though Zhou Hao repeatedly emphasized that Chu Ning was a little smart, Zhou Yi did not take her seriously at all.

If Chu Ning knew what Zhou Yi was thinking, she would probably be so angry that she would beat him up. However, Chu Ning did not know that now.

She and Yan Shen walked very quickly. In order to get out of Zhou Yi’s gaze as soon as possible, Chu Ning’s footsteps were so fast that the movement of her feet was blurry. When they reached the room Su Ming had specially prepared, Chu Ning heavily let out a sigh of relief.

Yan Shen was also panting slightly. The two of them took the cups that Su Ming handed them and drank them in one gulp.

Chu Ning sat on the sofa after drinking the water and asked Su Ming about his progress. Su Ming looked at his watch. He guessed that Zhou Wei would be arriving soon, so he said that he would tell them about it when he arrived, so that he would not waste time repeating it a second time.

Chu Ning nodded. As she spoke, Zhou Wei pushed the door open and walked in. When he saw that Chu Ning and Yan Shen were already seated, he smiled and said, “You two came so quickly.”

Zhou Wei sat on the only empty sofa and looked at Su Ming. “I’m almost done with checks on my side. What about you guys?”

Su Ming looked at Chu Ning. The information he had found was not good news, so he wanted to hear what Chu Ning had to say first.

Chu Ning had nothing to hide and said directly, “The progress on my side is very smooth — Cloud Shopping has been paralyzed. If I’m not mistaken, Zhou Hao will know about it before tonight. Then, under the situation where he is helpless, he can only sell it at a low price; the Soaring Clouds Group will completely acquire Cloud Shopping.”

In fact, the reason Chu Ning had resisted Zhou Hao back then was that she had to spend money to take it back. Although she could use Zhou Hao’s help to perfect Cloud Shopping, this was something that she could do well with time.

However, Zhou Hao was dragging her down, so she could only beat him at his own game and give Cloud Shopping to Zhou Hao, simply treating this money as the tuition fees for Zhou Hao and her..
