Kerry Ye was confused, "Who sent this?"
"He didn't say."
Kerry took the gift box over, "Thank you."
The waiter went out.
"What's in it?" Venus Mu curiously leaned in and asked.
Kerry shook the gift box, which was a bit heavy and clanging when shaken.
"I don't know. Forget it. Let's leave it here for now and look at it after dinner."
Tianye Mu came over and asked, "What the hell?"
"Not sure. The waiter said it was a New Year's gift for Kerry and told him to open it now." Venus
explained.
"This may be a prank. We'll talk later."
Tianye's heart jumped and he had a bad feeling about it. He pulled Kerry’s arm and his gaze turned
cold, "I think it's better for you to open it now."
Kerry froze and looked back at him. They have been fighting for years and know each other well. They
understand each other's meaning with just a glance.
Seeing how cautious Tianye was, Kerry also became serious. He nodded and began to open the gift
box in his hand.
Venus and Xiran Xiao leaned over to see what was happening. Kerry untied the silk ribbon and
removed the outer pink wrapping paper, revealing a very ordinary paper box. When he opened the box
again, the expressions on their faces all became rigid.
That was because there was a time bomb inside the carton. The red numbers were counting down a
little bit, with only one minute and thirty seconds left.
"Fuck! Who's so fucking vicious?" Xiran's eyes revealed a hatred that had never been seen before.
There were at least thousands of people in this venue. Even if there was a personal grudge, why let so
many people die? It was simply deranged.
"What to do?" Venus grabbed Kerry’s arm.
"This man is coming for me. It's too late to find a bomb disposal expert now. I'll take it away."
Kerry said unusually calmly.
"Kerry!" Venus's tears instantly welled up. She knew what this meant. If the slightest thing went wrong,
he would die.
Time was running out. Kerry didn't have time to think about it much. He couldn't let so many innocent
people die, even if it meant letting him die.
"Don't worry. I'll be fine." Kerry quickly closed the box. His voice trembled because he was nervous. He
said to Tianye, "Take care of this."
"Well." Tianye responded. He understood that this was the most effective solution at this time.
"Where are you going?" Venus asked anxiously.
"I'm going to throw this into the ocean. It's the only place that's safe." As soon as the words were
spoken, his eyes instantly turned deep purple and he chanted the mantra in his mind. After a few
seconds, time stopped.
Everyone's expressions stopped. Even the tears in Venus’s eyes could barely hang from her lower
eyelashes. He had no time to say goodbye to the woman he loved and Kerry disappeared into the
venue in the next second.
The entire Sky City was as silent as an empty city, and the wind had stopped whimpering.
The crowds, the cars speeding by, the housewives cooking in their rooms, the numbers at the traffic
lights, everything was frozen in this second.
Kerry was running madly through the air, not knowing how many minutes he would stop this time so he
had to run until he was far away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
He didn't know how long he had been running for. But suddenly, the cold and lingering northwest wind
moved. Then Kerry heard the sound of car horns and the noise of the crowd.
At this time, he hadn't left the Sky City.
He couldn't run like this. There was only a little more than a minute left and he won't be able to run
away from Sky City like this.
When he thought this, he who was flying in mid-air suddenly disappeared. He used time shift.
He could only use it three times. So every time Kerry transiently shifted, he did the best he could. As for
where he could run to, he couldn't think about it that much.
Therefore, in the first time he stopped at a suburban house. The family of five was watching TV when a
man in a suit suddenly appeared in front of the TV screen, but he disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"Just now, did someone appear?" The man rolled his eyes and blinked as if he was hallucinating.
"You saw it too? I thought I saw it wrong." The Mistress froze as well.
"Where is he? Why is he gone again? Is that a ghost?" The man got up boldly and went to look around
the house.
The elder sitting on the couch and sleeping was awakened by his son, "There are no ghosts in this
world. I haven't seen one even after living for over eighty years. It must be that you've seen it wrong."
The girl nestled in the other couch played her phone as she said, "Dad, we are in a modern society.
You have to believe in science, not feudal superstitions."
"Didn't you see that?" The girl's mom asked.
The girl shook her head, "I was playing on my phone. I didn't see it."
"Nah."
And this family had the same doubts as a suburban farming family. It was late at night. A husband and
his wife were making love. When a man appeared in the bedroom, the husband was so frightened that
he could not make love immediately.
Kerry found it both funny and annoying. Without saying a "sorry", he disappeared again.
"Just isn't there a ghost?" The man got up from the woman, looking around.
The woman was on top of the man. Of course she didn't see Kerry, who only appeared for a second.
She slapped his husband and said, "What the hell? Get up off me."
"That’s true. There was a man standing right here just now and smiling at me." The man pointed to the
side of the bed.
"Is that a man or a woman, fat or thin, tall or short?" The woman sneered at his sarcasm.
"I didn't see it clearly." The naked man said with a weeping face.
The woman pulled the blanket over herself and said irritably, "I don't think you're in your right mind. Go
to sleep."
The man was a little worried now. Would he be able to have sex later after all this? Was it possible that
he saw it wrong? That was impossible. That man did smile at him.
He still thought of it. He put on his clothes and said, "I'll look for it, in case there really is a ghost."
"I think you're sick." The woman was about to have an orgasm but he couldn't do it further. The woman
was unhappy and it was merciful not to throw a pillow at him.
At the hotel's annual meeting.
Venus’s tear fell steeply. Time began to pass. No one knew what had just happened, except for Tianye,
Venus and Xiran.
Venus wiped a handful of tears and whispered, "I'm going to the beach to find him."
Xiran grabbed her hand, "No. You can't go now."
"Xiran, I want to go."
Tianye pressed her shoulder and looked at her anxiously, "Xiran is right. You can't go now. Probably,
the opposite party is looking at here with a camera right now. As soon as you leave, you'll expose the
fact that Kerry has suddenly disappeared."
"But what if something happens to Kerry? What if he gets hurt? I'm going to save him."
"Venus, calm down!" Tianye shouted in a low voice, "What are you anxious about? I'm still here, aren't
I? All you can do now is try to keep things as normal as possible. If someone comes looking for Kerry,
just say that he has something to do and leave first."
"Also, if they want to kill not only Kerry but also you, once you go out, won't you just fall into the other
party's trap? Venus, don't you forget that Pingan is still at home waiting for you to return."
She sobbed and nodded her head as she was reprimanded by Tianye. After a while, her emotions
stabilized a bit. And when she looked up, she smiled calmly.
Tianye gently shook her hand and comforted her, "This is our Mu family's daughter. It would be fine.
You have to trust Kerry."
"I know, brother."
Tianye didn't dare to take half a step away from them. He didn't know where their enemy was hiding
and if they would harm his sister.
On the one hand, Tianye pulled out his cell phone and ordered his subordinates to go to the beach as
soon as possible to find Kerry. On the other hand, he ordered the assistant waiting outside the hotel to
immediately check the hotel's surveillance to see who had just sent the gift.
After things were arranged, as expected by Tianye, a middle-aged man came over with a glass of wine.
He was slightly surprised when he saw that there were only three people here.
"Mrs. Ye, why President Ye disappeared?"
Venus smiled faintly, "He's got something to do and will be gone for a while."
"President Ye is really busy." The man didn't ask too many questions and left after exchanging a few
pleasantries.
Venus exhaled. She seemed calm outwardly, but inwardly she was almost crumpling her handbag. She
didn't even dare to think about what happened to Kerry right now. She just hoped that the God would
take pity on him and let him be safe and sound.
