I think Gus already had his suspicious and had been observing the meeting between Mike and Saul (we didn't see it as the camera was on Mike and Saul). By the time Saul was driving away, he'd already looked back towards the storefront (didn't want to be observed) and we saw him make a mental note of everything.
That's when he put the wheels in motion to trap Mike. He brought in an obviously conspicuous 'runner' when I really don't think that's the kind of thing he'd otherwise do (I've only just met him in BB, but he's clearly extremely careful). He was intentionally trying to draw Mike's eye and get him chasing that SUV.
Gus is playing chess right now. And y'know, maybe Mike is as well, but Gus is playing it just a bit better. Saul's still playing checkers but this isn't his game.
