While the manhunt is in progress

Chapter 452 Zhang Ming Takes the Bait
With a calm and natural expression on Zhang Ming's face, he strolled in the cruise ship, seemingly aimlessly, but actually he was looking for the traces of Su Wenyuan and his party, and perfecting the encounter that will be staged later in his mind over and over again links.

Soon, he recalled the scene that happened in the restaurant in the morning, and he couldn't help but frown slightly.

"Damn guys, a bunch of bastards who don't know what to do!" Zhang Ming made no secret of his disdain for the woman at the next table and her accomplices, and cursed secretly.

A month ago, Zhang Ming chose Su Wenyuan, who had just taken over part of his father's business, as his target in order to defraud him of a considerable amount of money through deception.

After learning that Su Wenyuan was traveling with many companions, Zhang Ming, who thought he finally had the opportunity to enter Su Wenyuan's social circle, suddenly discovered that a gang of thieves had infiltrated the cruise ship.

Moreover, the theft gang seemed to have selected Su Wenyuan, who had a very wealthy family, as one of the theft targets, which made Zhang Ming, who had finally found the opportunity, very disgusted.

Now, Su Wenyuan's behavior of losing his wallet and his astonishing financial resources will undoubtedly strengthen the theft gang's determination to carry out theft. However, in this way, Zhang Ming's fraud plan will undoubtedly be disrupted.

"No, I have to intervene as soon as possible!" Zhang Ming said to himself, speeding up the pace of searching for Su Wenyuan, but he didn't know that he was gradually falling into the trap dug by someone.

At noon, when Su Wenyuan was enjoying lunch with Hao Yuqing, the waiter suddenly brought a plate of the restaurant's signature dish that he had not ordered to the table.

"Huh?" Su Wenyuan looked at the waiter suspiciously.

The waiter smiled and bowed, pointed in Zhang Ming's direction and said, "This is from that gentleman. He said it was your father's business partner."

Su Wenyuan and Hao Yuqing looked in the direction pointed by the waiter, and saw Zhang Ming slightly raising his glass to signal, the smile on his face was indescribably kind and gentle.

After nodding his head, Su Wenyuan signaled the waiter to bring him a bottle of red wine, and then continued to chat and eat with Hao Yuqing.

"Send it to my room." Zhang Ming said to the waiter who brought the red wine, secretly praising Su Wenyuan for handling it well.

Then he took out a hundred-dollar bill and put it in the waiter's hand, and whispered: "Their meal money will be charged to my account."

The waiter seemed to be used to this kind of situation. He calmly collected the banknotes, bowed and stepped away.

After doing this, Zhang Ming controlled the time and eating speed, and ate in a calm manner, as if he didn't care, but he was always dealing with Su Wenyuan's occasional scrutiny.

Ten minutes later, Zhang Ming got up slowly, walked to Su Wenyuan's table with a smile on his face, bent slightly and laughed in a low voice: "If your father knows that I took you a bottle of red wine, he will laugh at me for taking advantage of you."

"I've paid for your meal, it's rare to come out for a vacation, have fun."

Su Wenyuan nodded politely and said a few polite words, but his eyes showed that he was trying to remember.

"Don't think about it, you don't come to the company very often, and you see me even less." Zhang Ming smiled, and patted Su Wenyuan on the shoulder very accommodatingly: "But the part of the business you took over happened to be able to connect with me. We'll have a chance to talk when we're done."

After Zhang Ming finished speaking, he left in a leisurely manner, showing the demeanor of a kind elder.And his appearance of being very familiar with Su Wenyuan's family also made Su Wenyuan extremely admired.

"If Song He hadn't known his identity earlier, maybe I would have fallen for it." Su Wenyuan looked at Zhang Ming who left the restaurant, shook his head and said, "Are all liars so professional now?"

Hao Yuqing's eyes were shining brightly, looking at the direction Zhang Ming left, he shook his head and said, "It's a pity, if you follow the right path and put it under my father's hands, you can definitely become the head of the sales department."

Su Wenyuan laughed: "The values ​​​​of such people have been distorted, and they can't be taken back."

Hao Yuqing nodded slightly, ignored it, and enjoyed the dishes served by Zhang Ming with peace of mind.

Seeing his girlfriend's cute appearance, Su Wenyuan called the waiter, took out a few hundred yuan bills and handed them to the other party and asked, "Tell me the room number of the gentleman who paid for us just now."

After dinner, Su Wenyuan came to the fencing gymnasium surrounded by Lin Xuefei, but saw his companions surrounding the fencing field, watching two figures in full fencing suits face off on the field intently.

After counting the heads carefully, Su Wenyuan suddenly realized that the two who were fighting were Song He and Zhou Kai.

But before he even got close to the venue, he saw the foil sword in one of the people's hands flickering and stabbing like lightning, hitting the other person in the chest!

"This guy cheated!"

"You must be cheating!"

"Go down!"

The wonderful duel and the winner's quick and easy movements did not make the onlookers Wu Xuerui and others applaud, but instead made them boo while laughing.

The winner took off his mask triumphantly, and raised his hands with a joyful expression: "Talent! There is no way, all twelve victories, that's how good it is!"

Song He's rebuke made everyone boo again. Zhou Kai, who had lost the game, took off his mask and looked at Su Wenyuan with a questioning expression.

"I'm hooked..." Su Wenyuan recounted what happened during the lunch, and then recounted his and Hao Yuqing's judgment on Zhang Ming.

"Looks like I did the work first." Song He laughed: "Is that interesting?"

When everyone saw Song He's expression, they knew that he was starting to feel bad, and they heard him say: "Then let's create opportunities and let him gain trust."

In the afternoon, on the eve of dinner, Su Wenyuan went to visit Zhang Ming's room alone, and left after chatting for more than ten minutes. But this meeting made Zhang Ming realize that he was one step closer to his goal!
Maintaining the human setup to send Su Wenyuan away, Zhang Ming, who was in a happy mood, opened the red wine Su Wenyuan gave him, poured a glass and drank it slowly, feeling very refreshed.

In the guest room of Song He and his party, Su Wenyuan came back and recounted his conversation with Zhang Ming, and Song He said while thinking: "This man is arrogant, and he doesn't like that gang of thieves."

"And in order to be as authentic as possible, he has obviously worked hard to learn relevant knowledge that can improve his own deception. For example, in terms of trade, he is probably the most professional among us besides you."

"But the more professionally he plays, the bigger his plan is, and the less he can tolerate others sabotaging his plan. So, tomorrow we..."

In the early morning of the next day, the cruise ship arrived at the first city on the journey, Lucheng.

Song He and his party got up early and got off the boat to play and buy custom items. Their behavior was the same as usual, but when they passed by the only female member of the theft gang, they inadvertently talked about Su Wenyuan.

Song He and the others, who had made the hint, ignored it and enjoyed the holiday on their own.

But the woman was interested, and she glanced at her companions who were scattered around waiting for an opportunity to attack the tourists, and she gradually became concerned.

At dusk, the cruise ship blew its whistle and was about to set off again. At this time, Zhang Ming also came to the restaurant on the cruise ship under the kind invitation of Su Wenyuan.

"How is it? This holiday is pretty comfortable." Zhang Ming said politely, and sat down at Su Wenyuan and Hao Yuqing's dining table with an amiable look.

"Very good." Su Wenyuan smiled, and let Hao Yu count the food, while he chatted with Zhang Ming.
