699 Division of Work

The few of them nodded in agreement. Chu Ning then asked, "But we don't know when the Lu family will make a move or what they are prepared to do. How should we deal with them?"

Chu Ning's question stumped Su Ming. Yan Shen had never experienced this before either. Theory was useless without practice. Only Zhou Wei had truly fought his way through schemes and plots, so he was naturally familiar with this series of processes.

Zhou Wei naturally said, "Won't it be clear if we ask the Lu family's allies?"

Yan Shen was silent for a moment. He was a little uncertain. "Can they say it?"

Zhou Wei was amused by this question. He had thought that Young Master Yan was quiet because he didn't speak much. Now, it seemed that he was afraid of being laughed at if he spoke. "It's not like they're loyal dogs — they're just a bunch of fence-sitters. Give them some benefits; if it doesn't work, threaten them and they'll spill everything."

Su Ming nodded in agreement. "That's right. Just like Yun Yu, as long as it threatens their own interests, they won't hide anything."

The few of them divided their work simply. Chu Ning would take back Cloud Shopping so that Zhou Hao could not make a move. Zhou Wei would take care of the Zhou family and asked about the Lu family's arrangements along the way.

Su Ming still had to take care of many things on the cruise ship, so he could only send people to keep an eye on Wu Ling and Zhou Yi. Yan Shen only needed to look out for Chu Ning and not let Zhou Yi take advantage of any loopholes.

Once they were done dividing the work, Su Ming picked up his cup. "I wish us a successful first collaboration." After toasting, the four of them split into three groups and left the room.

As Chu Ning and Yan Shen walked slowly, Yan Shen quietly asked, "Do you have the confidence to snatch Cloud Shopping back?"

Chu Ning had a relaxed smile on her face. "You don't believe me?"

"How could that be?" Yan Shen quickly shook his head. "I'm just worried that Zhou Hao will retaliate."

Chu Ning and Yan Shen walked side by side. Her tone was full of confidence. "Actually, I originally planned to wait until The Parade was on the right track before collaborating with Zhou Wei. He wants the Zhou family, and I want Cloud Shopping."

Her tone was filled with disbelief and ruefulness. "But this timing is really too good. It's so good that if I don't hurry up, I'll feel like I'm losing money."

Chu Ning turned her head slightly and met Yan Shen's deep gaze. "Don't worry, are my abilities not yet clear to you?"

Her footsteps were light. "Besides, Zhou Hao doesn't have the time to retaliate against me because the Zhou family and Zhou Wei are his top priority. If he loses his position as the head of the Zhou family because of Cloud Shopping, he will turn green with regret."

When Yan Shen heard Chu Ning's confident words, a complicated feeling welled up in his heart. He was no longer a child. This kind of feeling was love. However, that examination report suddenly appeared in his mind and poured a bucket of cold water on him. His feelings, his love for her cooled down.

The two of them returned to the rest area side by side. Chu Ning glanced at Zhou Yi from the corner of her eye. He was still standing there. He would probably be there for the next few days.

Chu Ning said a few words to Yan Shen and returned to her room. Before she closed the door, she could still feel Zhou Yi's burning gaze on her back.

Chu Ning sat on a chair by the window. She felt disgusted when she thought of the gaze just now. Anyone would feel uncomfortable being stared at by someone who wanted to kill them.

Even though she knew that they must have thought that Su Kun was not on the cruise, she still found it ridiculous to treat Su Ming with such contempt. These people were used to being arrogant.

Chu Ning thought about it and dialed a number. It was Zhang Bo on the other end. "Zhang Bo, you and Lu Chao work together later — I want to get Cloud Shopping back."

Zhang Bo was obviously dumbfounded. After all, it happened so suddenly, although he knew that Cloud Shopping wouldn't stay in Zhou Hao's hands. "What happened?"

Chu Ning gave him a simple description of what had happened, emphasizing that she was about to be assassinated. As expected, Zhang Bo became nervous and immediately expressed that he would work with Lu Chao.

Chu Ning gave a few instructions before hanging up. When all was said and done, Lu Chao was indispensable if she wanted to take back Cloud Shopping.

She called Lu Chao, and after the call connected, she simply said, "I want to take back Cloud Shopping. You and Zhang Bo act according to the plan."

Lu Chao didn't ask any further and immediately agreed on the plan the two of them had made after Cloud Shopping had fallen into Zhou Hao's hands. Even if they didn't make a move that day, they would probably carry it out after some time.
