Su Ming did not reveal anything about Su Kun being on the cruise ship. He only said that he had investigated the matter himself. “That person’s name is Zhou Yi. After he got on the cruise ship, he was assigned to the rest area. However, on the first night, he secretly switched shifts with someone else and went to the banquet hall.”

Chu Ning nodded, thinking that the Su family was indeed quick to investigate. In other people’s territory, only a fool would not make good use of this advantage.

Su Ming continued, “After the dispute, Ms. Chu, Young Master Yan, and I took

Yun Yu away, and Wu Ling left the hall in a rage.”

Su Ming pointed at the monitor on the screen. “Zhou Yi should have been watching the entire time. When he saw Wu Ling leave, he immediately followed Wu Ling to the door of the room and held him hostage before he entered. Then, he closed the door. The two of them spoke in secret for a while before Zhou Yi left the room and returned to his position.”

Chu Ning and Yan Shen listened attentively. Once Su Ming finished speaking, the two of them fell deep in thought.

Chu Ning raised her head — she already had a guess. “This Zhou Yi, what’s his background?”

Just as expected, Su Ming took out a piece of paper from the table and pointed at the photo on it. “Zhou Yi, the illegitimate son of the third branch of the Zhou family. He’s a very sidelined person, but he was secretly taken away by the Lu family of Jing City and groomed to be a deputy.”

Su Ming looked at Chu Ning and Yan Shen’s gazes showing their limited comprehension and thought to himself, “Chu Ning can be considered to have had a mid-career switch. This young master of the Yan family also looks like someone who does not care about worldly matters.”

Su Ming continued to explain, “Said to be the deputy, but in truth, he’s just doing dirty deeds for the family head and the heir.”

Su Kun had not only given Su Ming the surveillance footage, but he had also given him information on Zhou Yi, Wu Ling, and the others. That was why Su Ming understood Zhou Yi very well and, what was more, these things were not considered secrets.

Su Ming patiently introduced the two of them. “When Zhou Yi was still in the Zhou family, he was not taken seriously. However, during a conflict with his peers, Zhou Yi’s battle record of fighting against five people by himself caught his grandfather’s attention. With his grandfather’s training and recommendation, he caught the Lu family’s attention. He relied on his own hard work and successfully became the deputy of the Lu family’s heir.”

Chu Ning and Yan Shen nodded in realization. Chu Ning said with interest, “So, he’s also a big shot?”

Su Ming’s tone was slightly mocking. “What sort of person is he? Even if he’s from the Zhou family, he’s just a dog in the Lu family. He’s a deputy in name, but in truth, who doesn’t know that he’s the dog that the Lu family is raising for the next family head?”

Chu Ning frowned. “But even if it’s a dog, there’s a difference in status. Why would you send such an important subordinate to kill someone on the cruise

Yan Shen and Su Ming fell silent for a moment. Chu Ning’s eyelids twitched. Yan Shen said, “His main mission should be to set a trap for the Su family. In order to bring down the Su family, it should be normal to use him.”

Chu Ning cursed inside. She had forgotten that finishing her off was merely due to convenience.

She tried her best to get rid of these useless thoughts and put together all the information she had gathered. Soon, she understood. “So, the Zhou family wants to kill me, and the Lu family wants to overthrow the Su family. Then, the two families joined forces?”

Chu Ning thought for a moment and felt that this explanation was inappropriate. She started again, “It was the Lu family who wants to take down the Su family and let Zhou Yi handle this. Therefore, the Zhou family boarded the Lu family’s pirate ship. Wu Ling and Yun Yu were both fog bombs and cannon fodder.”

The more she spoke, the clearer her mind became. “Then, someone from the Zhou family wanted to kill me, so he asked Zhou Yi to finish me off when he completed his mission on the cruise ship. Is that right?”

Once Su Ming heard this, he looked at Chu Ning with admiration in his eyes. His father’s judgment of people was really accurate. Chu Ning was indeed quick-witted, and she was able to guess most of the things that had happened.

Chu Ning did not have the time to acknowledge Su Ming’s admiration for her. If she was even a little more furious, she would have already self-ignited. “Zhou family! Zhou Wei and I are business partners! The only person who has a grudge against me is that b* *** ** Zhou Hao!”

Chu Ning gritted her teeth and said, “You robbed me of my Cloud Shopping, kidnapped my family, and still want to kill me and humiliate me! This is too much!”
