"What?" Xiran Xiao stood up suddenly from her chair. She braced her hand on the table, surprised.
"Who kidnapped her? Why? What do they want?"
Kerry shook his head, "I don't know who they are.."
She was so angry that she was about to break her glass. "There has to be a purpose for kidnapping
her. How much do they want?"
"If they want money, I'll give it to them, even if it costs me everything I have." Kerry laughed bitterly.
"It's a long story." said he.
Xiran directly interrupted him, "I'm not leaving here until you tell me what's going on."
Kerry was startled. This fiery woman was quite concerned about Venus, but he hesitated whether he
should tell her that Yan was Venus or not.
"A few decades ago, my parents got a copy of the treasure map. These people got the news from
somewhere and kidnapped Yan, asking me to exchange the map for Yan. I gave them the map, but
they didn't keep their promise and took away Yan." Kerry said.
Xiran, such an educated person, couldn't help but curse, "They are so brazen. You're too stupid. You
gave them the treasure map, but you didn't save Yan."
"They had a dozen guns pointed at me. If I dare to move, Yan and myself would be dead on the spot.
How did I save her?" Kerry's voice was hoarse at the end. His eyes were red. No one knew how much
pain he was in.
Xiran stared at Kerry for a few seconds, and then sat back in her chair.
The two of them were silent for a long time before Xiran continued, "What did the kidnapper look like?"
"He was wearing a silver mask. I couldn't see his face." Kerry's mood calmed down.
"Dou you know where they are now?"
“I guess they are in the mountains of southern Fujian province. The treasure may be buried in one of
the caves." Kerry said. He was not going to tell her all the truth, for he wasn't very familiar with Xiran.
"So you've been looking for them there all this time?"
Kerry rubbed his temples, "When things are finished here, I'll be over tomorrow."
Xiran still had doubts in her mind and continued to ask, "Why didn't the people from MK come to the
opening ceremony?"
"That's a trade secret. I can't tell you." Kerry glanced at her and said quietly.
Xiran shrugged, "Ok, I'm just asking casually. I'm not interested in your secret. Is there anything I can
do to help you?"
"No, I can handle it." Kerry said.
Kerry knew that if she got involved in this, Venus' identity would be exposed.
"Are you sure? There are so many mountains in southern Fujian. I have a lot of friends who are
outdoorsy, and they will be more familiar with the mountains than your men."
"I can handle it now, but one day when I am helpless, I'll go back to you for help." Kerry said.
Xiran hated his conceited and arrogant look. "Kerry, it's time to work together to find Yan as soon as
possible."
Kerry considered for a moment and said, "Xiran Xiao, I really appreciate you caring so much about
Yan, but right now I can really handle it. I don’t need your help."
When he was silent, Xiran thought he had figured it out, but she didn't expect him to say something like
that. She stood up from her chair again with a serious face, "You don't need to thank me, I'm all for
Yan. But Kerry, sooner or later, you'll get Yan killed like this. I can't stay with people like you any longer,
goodbye."
Kerry hasn't forgotten about her friend, getting up after her and saying, "It's almost time for lunch. Let
me treat you and your friend to lunch."
Xiran looked at him and said, "No. I'll go to lunch with my friend when I want to."
"Although I refused your help, you don't have to refuse my invitation. Maybe I'll change my mind after
we have a meal."
"Kerry, I want to help you out simply for the sake of Yan.” Xiran scoffed and laughed. “I don't want to eat
with you. I'm afraid I'll get indigestion from eating with you."
Kerry knew she had said the wrong thing in a panic and had to apologize, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it like
that."
“Whatever you meant, I don't want to have luch with you. Bye!" Xiran said and walked out.
Kerry quickly walked beside her, "I'll walk you. I don't want Yan to find out later and blame me for being
indifferent to you."
Xiran snorted and didn't say anything.
When she reached the first floor, Xiran paused and turned back, "Well, you can go back. You're too
famous, and I don't want people taking pictures of me and you."
Kerry smirked, "You're a famous person in S City too. You shouldn't be so sensitive about this."
"No, I'm not afraid of my picture being posted on the Internet. I just don't want to get involved with you.
It’ll tarnish my reputation." Xiran said. Then she pushed open the glass door and walked out.
Kerry took out her cell phone. "Henry, come here immediately." He instructed.
A few minutes later, Xiran met up with Tianye under the Ferris wheel and then they got into it. Xiran told
him the news.
"Yan has been kidnapped?" Tianye was also surprised.
"Looking at Kerry's worried look, it should be true. When I said I would help him find Yan, he refused.
He also said that he would seek my help when he was helpless. Isn't it time we worked together to find
Yan as soon as possible?" The more she spoke, the angrier she became. She also stamped her feet in
the Ferris wheel.
Tianno held her hands to soothe her, "Okay, don't be so angry. He's always been like that. In addition,
Chu family will definitely send someone to rescue her. If they join hands, they can save her."
Hearing him say this, Xiran's mood calmed down a bit, and she heavily exhaled and said, "Alright, I
hope so."
When the Ferris wheel rose to its highest point, the beautiful scenery of Sky City could be seen from all
sides. Xiran felt much better.
Tianye pointed out the window and introduced her to the various attractions of the city.
While the two of them were enjoying the beautiful scenery in the Ferris wheel, there were already many
people looking for them below.
Deep in the mountains, Gavin and his group searched for days for the treasure, but they never found it.
They were all agitated to the extreme. However, Venus was calm. She just took care of her children
every day.
"Boss, I don't think this treasure map is real." After thinking about it for a long time, Heng Zhang finally
voiced his doubts today.
Gavin was going through various documents and glanced at him, "It is real. Mr. Cai said that there used
to be a prosperous kingdom here, and then it disappeared."
"Then why haven't we found it after looking for so long?"
"If the treasure was that easy to find, it would have been found by other generations. It would not be in
our hands now."
Heng was silent. He always felt that this treasure map was used by Kerry to trick Gavin. If the treasure
really existed, why didn't Kerry go looking for it after so many years?
"What is Venus Mu doing?" Gavin asked casually.
Heng was stunned. "Shouldn't this be Alisa's responsibility?"
Gavin put down the file in his hand, looked at Heng coldly, and got up.
It was now after nine o'clock in the evening. They were staying at a hostel in the mountains. Gavin
went to the room where Venus and Alisa were staying. He knocked on the door, but no one answered
the door.
With confusion in his eyes, Gavin knocked patiently on the door again, but there was still no answer.
Then he took out his phone and dialed Alisa's number. The phone rang from the room.
"Alisa?" Gavin knocked on the door with much more force. Heng came over when he heard the sound.
