"Copy that." Henry Zhang replied.
Sitting in the car, Kerry Ye felt a drumming in his temples.
Venus Mu was pulled into the car at around 3:40 pm. It was now past 9:00 pm. Six hours had passed;
the kidnapper had enough time to take her anywhere.
Kerry’s eyes almost turned into dark purple. He forced himself to calm down and tried to locate Venus
with his ability, but couldn't sense anything.
Now, he was hoping that this was a simple kidnapping case, which meant that the kidnappers would
contact him or Xuan Chu for ransom and Venus’s life should be protected. But if they took her directly
out of Sky City to sell her to the red light district......
Kerry couldn't continue to think about it, he felt like he was losing control.
This afternoon, when Venus came to see him, he should have forced her to stay in the office, so that
nothing would happen later.
Never before had he been so worried. In the past, Venus left or disappeared out of her own will, he
knew that her life wouldn't be in danger. But this time was different, she was abducted by two
strangers. It could be inferred from their rude manner that they would not treat her nice.
Kerry was nervous, it was like time stood still, he was trapped and couldn’t get out of the torturing.
The driver took out a hamburger from the bag in the passenger seat and brought it to Kerry, saying with
concern, "Sir, you’ve been busying all night and haven't eaten anything. Please have something to eat."
Kerry closed his eyes, shaking his head, "I have no appetite." He wasn’t in the mood for food as he
couldn’t stop worrying about Venus.
The driver silently put the burger back and asked, "Sir, where are we going now?"
Kerry paused for a moment, "Go to Tuanjie Lane, I want to check that place myself."
The driver recalled the location of Tuanjie Lane and started the car. Within five minutes, Kerry received
a phone call from Henry Zhang.
"Young Master, there's a black car with no license plate parked in Tuanjie Lane. No one is inside, is it
the car that took Yan Chu away?"
Kerry tensed, "That's it! Go check what else is in it, I'll be right there."
The driver delivered instant acceleration without Kerry’s command upon hearing their conversation.
At this time the traffic on the road was not so heavy. The black Cayenne galloped down the road. It only
took ten minutes to get there.
Henry and a few others came to Kerry, "Young Master, the car is over there. We smashed the door
open, nothing was left inside, but there are signs of fighting in the backseat."
Kerry stopped for two seconds, then quickened his pace to go check the car.
The alley roared in the dusky light. Henry took the searchlight to illuminate the backseat for Kerry’s
observation. There were messy footprints of high-heels on the black pads.
These should be left by Venus. Kerry remembered she was wearing a pair of stiletto heels when she
came to see him this afternoon.
Henry then directed the light onto the car door and pointed to a spot on the seat, "Look at that!"
Following Henry’s gaze, Kerry felt his heart lurch in horror. He was like being hit by a heavy stick as he
saw a few drops of blood. There were also a few black and long hairs that fell around.
Did they beat her?
Kerry slammed his fist into the sitting chair, but couldn't feel a hint of pain.
Son of a bitch!
“How dare you do that to the one I cherish and treasured the most? When I catch you, I'll chop you up
and feed you to the dogs.” Kerry thought.
He then got out of the car, poker-faced, "Where is Hao Nangong? Where is he today?"
"He's been working at the office all day. He has been acting normal recently. He went straight back to
Villa Nangong to accompany his parents for dinner after work, and he should still be at the villa."
Kerry asked with suspicion, "He went back home for dinner? When did he become so filial?"
Henry was also surprised when he found this out, so he investigated into the reasons.
"A few days ago, Hao was hanging out with a model and was bumped into by his father, who detests
models and actors. So he ordered Hao to stay with them except during office hours."
Kerry thought to himself, "Does this have nothing to do with him?
He had been putting all his efforts into the commercial business in the past year, rarely dealing with
those from the criminal underworld. His previous enemies should have settled, so who could this be?
"Henry, send Yan's photo to the people who worked in the red-light zone. Tell them to pay attention
while taking in new recruits."
"Young Master, you mean ......."
"It’s always better to be safe than sorry."
"I see." Henry stepped aside to make the calls. Kerry was standing under the orange light, feeling cold
and desperate.
Kerry didn't go back to the villa that night. After contacting Xuan Chu, he came to the villa where Venus
used to live. Xuan was living here since Venus moved to the Ye family.
Xuan opened the door for him, Kerry was tired and anxious. They looked at each other in silence. Then
they slumped into the sofa, waiting for messages.
Kerry was extremely powerful in Sky City, but so far he had found nothing useful but that car. It was like
that Venus had disappeared into thin air.
"Do you have any clue now?" Xuan took out two cans of beer from the fridge and handed one to Kerry.
Kerry pulled the zipper and gulped down a mouthful of beer. The icy liquid went straight down his
throat, stimulating every cell in him.
"Not yet." He answered.
Xuan dropped into the other couch, worrying, "Is this all we can do? Stay here waiting?"
"My men are searching outside, and the police are checking every intersection. But I have a feeling that
the kidnappers will contact us."
Xuan let out a long sigh, "Hope so. God bless Yan and keep her safe."
It was late at night but neither of them felt like going to sleep. It was almost dawn before they got
sleepy and took a nap on the sofa for a short while.
Suddenly, a pleasant ringing sound broke the silence of the room. Xuan and Kerry woke up at the
same time. It was from an unknown number.
He glanced at Kerry and then answered the phone.
"Hello? "
"Excuse me, are you Mr. Chu?" There was a muffled man's voice over there.
"I am. Who’s that speaking?"
"Is your sister Yan Chu?"
Xuan exchanged a look with Kerry, took the phone away from his ear and turned on the speaker.
"Yes, she is. Did you kidnap her?"
"Well, I just want to figure out if I've got the wrong person. This bitch has been refusing to utter a word.
She said she was not Yan Chu."
Xuan immediately shouted, "I'll give you anything you want, don't hurt her."
"Ha ha, I know that your family is rich, but I don't want money."
"What do you want?"
"If I'm not mistaken, Kerry Ye of Yehuang Group should be next to you right now."
Kerry said coldly, "I am Kerry Ye."
The kidnapper sneered, “Seems like I am right about this. I want to trade Yan Chu for the one thing you
have."
"What is it?"
"Of course the most precious thing of the Ye family."
Kerry frowned, "My company?"
"Hahaha, why would I want your company? I don't know how to do business." The man suddenly
stopped laughing and lowered his voice, "Where is the thing your father left you before he died? Give it
to me."
Kerry was startled, "I don't even know what you're talking about."
"Mr. Ye, let’s cut to the chase. Stop playing dumb with me. Back then your parents went to many places
in order to find the treasure. But why don’t they share the information with us? Your Ye family wants to
monopolize it, isn't that too greedy?"
Few people could know about this. Was the kidnapper a participant of the former treasure hunt?
"How about my suggestion? Do you agree?"
Kerry didn't answer, he was now more concerned about Venus's situation, "Where is Yan Chu? Put her
on the phone, how else am I supposed to know if you're telling the truth?"
"Fine, wait a minute." Came the sound of the man's footsteps on the phone, and a few seconds later,
"Hey, wake up! Come on, tell your brother and Kerry Ye that you're still alive."
Kerry and Xuan clenched their fists in anger, but didn’t hear anything from the other end of the phone.
