Tianye Mu shook his head and said, “Kerry Ye tried his best to keep Venus Mu stay with him. How
could he be so generous to let her go abroad to study? Besides, Venus was pregnant at that time, and
it’s impossible for Kerry to let her leave.”
“Pregnant?” Xiran Xiao said in surprise, “So something must have happened. But now it’s certain that
Venus disappeared before the earthquake.”
Tianye nodded. With a deepen frown, Tianye said, “Venus is very stubborn. I am afraid that she would
have thought about suicide when she saw me fall into the sea with her own eyes.”
“It’s impossible.” Xiran denied what Tianye said directly and said, “If your sister really committed
suicide, Kerry can say to the public that she died from illness. Why did Kerry say she went to study
abroad?”
“
“You are right. That must be so.” Tianye said with some hope in his eyes.
Xiran paused for a moment and asked, “Do you want to go back to Sky City?”
Tianye raised his eyebrows and gave a her a look, saying, “You’re kicking me out?”
“As you wish. My house is big enough anyway.” Xiran said with a smile.
“I won’t go back for the moment. I will wait until I make the things clear.” Tianye said. It’s been over a
year. He needs to know where his men are and whether the company had changes the owner. If he
goes back rashly, he will die.
Xiran knew that she couldn’t get involved in that too much. She believed that Tianye could solve all the
problems. After drinking the last drop of the wine, Xiran said, “Let me know if you need my help.”
“I happen to have something to ask for your favor.” Tianye said.
“Go ahead.” Xiran said.
“Can I use your computer?” Tianye asked.
Xiran almost spit out the wine in her mouth. She thought he was going to ask her for a loan or
something, but she had no idea that he would ask to use her computer.
“No problem. Just use it. There is no password.” Xiran said.
“Thank you.” Tianye said. Then he put the wine glass on the bar and got up to leave.
“Tianye Mu,” Xiran stopped him and said seriously, “I don’t care what’s the grudge between you and
Kerry, but don’t hurt my friend, Yan Chu.”
“I will never hurt her.” Tianye pledged seriously.
“OK. The computer is in my room. I will take you there.” Xiran said.
Xiran is straightforward and somewhat vixenish. Tianye was stunned when he saw her pink laptop.
Xiran stretched out her hand to press the button and said, “Can’t I be girlish?”
“This is out of my expectation.” Tianye said with a smile.
“Hum!” Xiran said and turned to walk out of the room. “Do you need some coffee?” Xiran asked.
“No, thanks.” Tianye said.
Tianye opened the official website of a foreign bank and logged in his account. When he saw the
amount of money on the account, he smiled with relief. Then he logged out and logged into a couple of
other accounts, and they’re all the same.
He seemed to have chosen the right men.
When he was ready to fight to the death with Kerry, he arranged everything. In addition to the
company’s normal operating expenses, all surplus must be paid into these accounts on time. These
accounts are opened with Venus’s identity information. Tianye did that because he wanted there would
be enough money for Venus to live in case he died.
He just didn’t expect that the professional team he employed from abroad would make so much money.
Opening the mailbox he had not used for a long time, Tianye sent an E-mail to Mike, a foreign
handsome guy. It reads: I’m back.
Two minutes later, Tianye received a reply that made him both amused and annoyed. It reads: You are
liar. I’ll not fall for it.
Oh my god, what happened to this handsome foreign guy?
Tianye laughed and wrote back to him in English: Mike, your favorite girl in college is a Frenchwoman.
Your favorite food is hot pot. You biggest hobby is playing online games after work.
He sent it as soon as he finished writing. This time he had a much shorter wait. Hardly had he sent it
when he received the reply. There are a string of exclamation points and swear words, like damn it,
fuck and the like.
After a while, a more normal email came.
“Mu, is it really you? Oh my god, I can’t believe it. You are still alive! Where are you? I’ll go to see you.”
Tianye replied: Give me your cell phone number. Let’s talk on the phone.
Soon, Mike sent his phone number to Tianye.
Tianye memorized the number after looking it at once. Then he turned off the computer and went out to
find Xiran.
Xiran was feeding small fish at the miniature museum. After seeing Tianye come, Xiran asked, “Are
you done with your business?”
“Where is your phone? I want to make a phone call.” Tianye said directly.
“It’s in my pocket. Get it yourself.” Xiran said. With two hands occupied, Xiran couldn’t take the phone
out for him.
Tianye walked up to her and took out the phone from her trouser pocket. Being so close, the fragrance
of Xiran came into his nose and he felt a numb in his heart.
Her body temperature was still on the phone. Tianye opened the phone and dialed the numbers he had
just remembered.
It only rang once before Mike got it through.
Tianye communicated with him in English the whole time. “Mike, I haven’t seen you for a long time.”
Tianye said.
“Oh my god, it’s really you. I thought I was dreaming.” Mike said. Mike screamed repeatedly and Tianye
couldn’t help but take the phone away from his ear.
When Mike calmed down, Tianye asked, “How’s the company?”
“Everything is all right. Mu, where have you been all this year? They say you fell into the sea and died.”
Mike said.
Tianye looked at Xiran, who was concentrating on feeding the fish, and said with a smile, “A beautiful
angel saved me.”
After hearing that, Xiran stopped feeding the fish for a second and there was a smile on her face.
“Angel? God must have sent her to save you.” Mike said. Mike is a devout Christian who expressed his
love to God when something good happens. “Mu, when will you come back? Or shall I come to you?”
Mike added.
“I’m not going back now. It’s not the right time.” Tianye said.
“Oh my god, why do you Chinese always talk about timing? I don’t understand.” Mike said.
“Mike, where are my former employees?” Tianye said with a helpless smile.
“Since you disappeared, they’ve gone. I don’t know where they went.” Mike said.
It’s within Tianye’s expectation and he was not disappointed. Besides, it’s human nature. Tianye can’t
keep them loyal to him after his death. It’s ridiculous.
“Mike, I want you to look into something.” Tianye said.
“What’s that?” Mike asked.
Tianye’s said with a clouded face, “Go and check what happened to my sister.”
“OK. I’ll do it right now. How can I contact you? Do you want me to call this number?” Mike said.
“Wait a minute. I’ll ask the angel if I can use this phone number.” Tianye said. Tianye pressed the
phone on his shoulder and asked Xiran, “Can my friend call you to contact me?”
Xiran make a gesture of “OK.”
Tianye told that to Mike and Mike cried out in surprise. “Oh my god, the angel is with you? Is her
beautiful?” Mike said.
“She is very beautiful.” Tianye said.
“Mu, you are so lucky.” Mike said.
Tianye stopped joked with him and said, “Mike, please send all the important statements of the
company over the past six months to my mailbox.”
“No problem. I’ll do it right now.” Mike said.
After chatting a little longer, Tianye hung up the phone. He put the phone back in Xiran’s trouser pocket
and looked at the different kinds of fish with her. “They are beautiful.” Tianye said softly.
“Of course. I brought them from all over the world.” Xiran said somewhat proudly.
Tianye turned to look at Xiran’s delicate face near at hand. He really wanted to take a bite.
“Stop looking at me in that way.” Xiran said calmly. But her heart beat fast and she felt her face was
burning.
“You are also very beautiful.” Tianye said.
“I know.” Xiran said. Since childhood, Xiran has been praised to be beautiful and she always accepts
that readily.
Tianye bowed his head and smiled, turning his head to continue to look at the fish in the fish tank.
