Chu Ning didn’t know if she should praise him for being honest or scold him for being lustful.
To be able to say that at a time like this, his shriveled face really didn’t spend a single wasted day.
Yan Shen’s eyes were filled with a murderous look. He wanted nothing more than to kill this rude fellow immediately.
Su Ming coughed lightly and felt a little awkward. “Didn’t Wu Ling tell you what kind of feud Ms. Chu has with that family?”
Yun Yu shook his head. “Although he told me everything, he’s arrogant and useless. That family looks down on him; they probably only asked him to collaborate because he’s easy to manipulate. It wasn’t said very clearly, and Wu Ling didn’t have the guts to ask.”
Su Ming fell deep in thought, but Yun Yu continued, “But I’ve talked to the second daughter of the Chen family’s second son in Jing City and found out that the people in Jing City are using Wu Ling to kill someone. I was afraid that I’d be implicated, so I bought her the latest haute couture dresses and limited edition bags and asked her to help me find out about this.”
The corners of Chu Ning’s eyes twitched. She exchanged a helpless look with Su Ming. Yan Shen had always been an innocent young man. When he was pestered by the original Chu Ning, he could not do anything about it. Now that he heard these words, he wished he could cover his ears and run away.
“Your information channel is quite special.” Chu Ning’s head throbbed.
As soon as she said this, the people in the room became even more silent.
Chu Ning screamed inside. What was she saying? How could she think of saying such a thing?
“Then what did you find out?” Su Ming quickly picked up on the topic.
Yun Yu was probably used to being thick-skinned, or perhaps he had been threatened and intimidated before, so he did not have the strength to have any mood swings. Now, he did not even move his eyebrows. He still had that shocked and lifeless expression.
Yun Yu even tried to recall. “She said that the Lu family, the Xu family, and the Wang family have been up to something recently. The people they’ve taken action against are more or less related to M City. It’s not clear, but I heard that none of these families are targeting Chu Ning.”
Chu Ning listened as Yun Yu ceased speaking upon revealing this. She looked at Yun Yu stealing glances at her and immediately understood.
Chu Ning slapped the armrest of the sofa and stood up. “So killing me is merely because it’s convenient?”
Su Ming had just taken a sip of water to moisten his throat when Chu Ning’s question startled him so much that he choked, coughing non-stop for a time.
Yan Shen also got a fright and hastily stood up to pacify Chu Ning. “Don’t be angry, don’t be angry. Let’s have a seat first. We can talk things out slowly.”
Yun Yu had lived for so long. With his ability to cause trouble, he definitely did not rely only on cowardice to not get beaten to death. When Chu Ning stood up, he stopped looking at her and avoided eye contact.
In the end, Chu Ning glared at him so fiercely that he had to say in a low voice, “I didn’t say that.”
Chu Ning was so enraged that her blood was boiling. She did not do anything once she boarded the cruise ship, but the hosts said that they had sent out an invitation. Not long after, she was provoked by a person surnamed Liu, and then she was harrassed by Yun Yu.
She had settled the matter and had come out to join in the fun. She had even accidentally found out that someone wanted to kill her. Before she could come up with a countermeasure, she realized that she was targeted as it was convenient.
The more Chu Ning thought about it, the more she felt that she could not take it lying down. This time, it was not enough for Yan Shen alone to comfort her. Even Su Ming stood up to smooth things over and advised Chu Ning not to be anxious.
Yun Yu shrunk back. He was already in trouble and had thought that he might still have a chance of survival if he told the truth. However, looking at Chu
Ning’s reaction, he was afraid that he would not even be able to leave the room. Chu Ning took a few deep breaths and finally suppressed her rage. She sat back on the sofa with Yan Shen.
Su Ming also felt relieved. This Ms. Chu was rather polite when she was being courteous, but when she was flipping her lid, she was just as polite.
Su Ming turned his gaze towards Yun Yu, who had almost turned into an ostrich, before he continued asking, “What else do you know? Spill everything.”
Yun Yu sized up Chu Ning and received another glare. He shrunk his neck and whispered, “The second daughter of the Chen family’s second son said that these families’ target is the Su family. The Xu family even contacted the Zhou family.”
Su Ming frowned.. “Zhou family? Which Zhou family?”
