“What have you been learning all these years?” Su Kun was exasperated. “I told you to make more friends and to be more mindful, but where did your mind go? Is it growing in your rear? Is your brain full of holes now? Such a simple matter, but you actually fell into someone’s trap in your home ground, and you still want me, your father, to help you!”

Su Ming knew that he had not done his job properly this time, and could not even lift his head while being scolded.

Su Kun looked at his son, who looked like he could be beaten and scolded at will, and felt vexed. His anger had reached boiling point. It was like this each time — he would lower his head and remain silent when he was being reprimanded.

Su Kun let out a long sigh. “When will you finally be able to be independent?” He didn’t even say anything when he was scolded. How could he be at ease leaving the Su family in his hands? At that time, even if the Su family fell, it would be a small matter, but the wolves and vultures around them would probably swarm over and devour Su Ming.

When Su Ming heard his father’s sigh, he lifted his head anxiously. “Dad, believe me. I will definitely deal with this matter appropriately.”

Su Kun gazed at him, sitting beside him, and couldn’t help but wonder if he had been too strict with him in the past, resulting in his current personality. Did he protect him too well, resulting in him not being able to handle these things well now?

Su Kun looked at his son, who had all the good qualities of his wife and himself, and his heart softened. “Go ahead and do it. If you really can’t do it, I’ll cover for you.” He thought in his heart that there was no rush. He was not dead yet.

“I will definitely handle it well!” Su Ming said in surprise. “I won’t let you down!”

“Since they’re targeting the Su family, we can’t let anything happen to our guests on our cruise, especially Chu Ning. Not to mention that she’s already being targeted, with her ability and vision, you have to converse with her more,” Su Kun reminded him.

Su Ming nodded quickly. “When she, the Young Master of the Yan family, and I interrogated Yun Yu, I discovered that Chu Ning is very thorough in her thinking and is very sharp. This might be the reason she was able to seize opportunities to do business a few times.”

Su Kun nodded. “It seems like you know how to use your brain when you listen to gossip. You’re not just listening to it for fun.”

Su Ming smiled in embarrassment. Su Kun was annoyed when he saw how careless Su Ming was. He quickly waved his hand and said, “Go, do what you need to do.”

Su Ming nodded and left the room.

In Chu Ning’s room, Chu Ning and Yan Shen sat face to face. When they returned to the room, Chu Ning slammed the table angrily. “It’s fine if you want to assassinate me, but it’s actually because of convenience! This is intolerable! Don’t let me find out who he is!”

Yan Shen looked at her, not knowing how to react. Seeing that her face was puffed up from anger, he comforted her, “Don’t be angry. Let’s think about how to find this person.”

“Hmph!” Chu Ning snorted coldly. “This person must be on the cruise ship.

Moreover, he might have already met up with Wu Ling.”

When Chu Ning thought of someone wanting her life, it was hard for her not to come up with conspiracy theories. “Perhaps Yun Yu is just bait to lure Su Ming and us away.” Her eye flashed. “Those people probably let Yun Yu know about this on purpose, then they’ll use that idiot whose brain only grows on the lower half of his body to cause a ruckus in front of Su Ming and me. That way, it’ll be easier for them to take over.’

Yan Shen frowned. “If that’s really the case, then why would Su Ming so leisurely waste his time with us and Yun Yu?”

Chu Ning carefully recalled everything she had experienced from the dock to the cruise ship and said with certainty, “Su Ming definitely has someone to deal with the aftermath. For all we know, his father is still in contact with him, or perhaps he’s monitoring everything on the cruise ship.” Chu Ning glanced around the room. “Maybe the richest man is on the cruise, watching us.”

Yan Shen was so shocked by her words that he broke out in cold sweat. He also looked around the room. Everything looked normal, but he kept feeling as though they were being watched.

Yan Shen tried his best to ignore the uncomfortable feeling and asked worriedly, “Then what about your safety for the next few days? Do you want me to go back with you? Su Ming should be able to get a boat to send us back.”

Chu Ning was silent for a while. She raised her head as she made up her mind. “I don’t have to worry about my personal safety. Su family will never allow anything to happen to anyone at their event..”
