Chapter 702: Exchange of Information
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Zhang Bo sat on a chair in the office and recalled the day he had first met Chu Ning. He had thought that his future boss had asked his daughter to check him out. Who would have thought that the underage girl was his boss? Moreover, she was so smart, sharp, and far-sighted.
Lu Chao gave Chu Ning a call. “President Chu, it’s already going according to plan. Cloud Shopping should be paralyzed now. Their technicians should be able to discover the problem soon.” After a pause, Lu Chao added hesitantly, “If they aren’t a bunch of trash.”
“Thank you for your hard work, Lu Chao.” Chu Ning smiled in satisfaction. She then hung up after instructing him to continue to keep an eye on the situation.
Chu Ning knew that Lu Chao should be very excited now because Cloud Shopping meant a lot to him, especially for a talent like him who had been frustrated for many years. Being recognized and developing Cloud Shopping was a new life for him.
When Lu Chao heard the news of Cloud Shopping being taken away, although he did not say it, the sadness he felt was no different from being separated from his child. Even if he had the confidence to get it back, it still hurt.
Lu Chao was currently just as Chu Ning had expected — his hands were shaking with excitement, but he still stared at the computer screen. He knew that if Zhou Hao’s programmers found the security lock and core program, they would definitely try to break through the firewall to unlock it. He had to fight back immediately to vent his anger.
Chu Ning was at ease with Lu Chao and Zhang Bo. She was not anxious at all. Instead, she wanted to go to the event venue on the cruise ship to have fun.
Chu Ning changed into a set of clothes that made it easier for her to move around in. Just as she was about to go out, she received a call from Zhou Wei.
Zhou Wei’s voice sounded very low. Chu Ning had been working with him for a long time. It was obvious that he was angry again because every time Zhou Hao tried to make things difficult for him, Chu Ning heard the same voice on the phone.
His voice was low but a little relaxed, “I’ve already found out — the Lu family is preparing to take action before the cruise ship returns. They’ll kidnap Su Ming, then hijack the cruise ship and use the families behind their second generation on the cruise ship to collectively pressure Su Kun to compromise.”
Chu Ning frowned. “I wonder how many people they put on the cruise ship?”
“The Zhou family is just a small fry. They don’t know the details of the plan,’ Zhou Wei said.
There was a knock on the door. Chu Ning asked warily, “Who is it?”
Yan Shen was outside. “It’s me. Mr. Su Ming invited me to have tea later. I wanted to ask if you were going.”
This was the secret code that Chu Ning and the others had come up with in the morning. This meant that Su Ming had made some progress on his side. If they were likewise doing well, they could have another meeting to exchange information.
Chu Ning made this suggestion because Zhou Yi was standing guard at her door. If a waiter came frequently to invite her, it would arouse Zhou Yi’s suspicions and alert him. She decided to put on a friendly and cooperative attitude. Zhou Yi would be suspicious, but he wouldn’t think too much about it.
Su Ming found it rather funny and ridiculed the four of them for acting like spies.
“Give me awhile, I’ll change into a proper set of clothes.” Chu Ning agreed in a clear voice. She then said to Zhou Wei on the phone, “Did anyone invite you over?”
Zhou Wei had not sensed any movements. “Not yet. The waiter must be a little slower than Yan Shen.”
Chu Ning expressed her understanding. “Even if Zhou Yi is in my area, you have to be careful. After all, they probably have a lot of people since they thought of hijacking the ship.”
Zhou Wei smiled and said, “Don’t worry about me. Just protect yourself.”
Yan Shen stood at the door and felt Zhou Yi’s brazen gaze. Anger welled up inside his heart. He put on a poker face and did not reveal any of his inner thoughts. He said to Chu Ning, who was in the room, “You don’t have to wear anything too complicated. Mr. Su Ming still wants to do archery with us later.”
When Chu Ning heard this, she heaved a sigh of relief and hung up the phone. After about half a minute, she opened the door and said to Yan Shen with a smile, “How about this? I didn’t bring many clothes with me, so this is the only suitable one..”
