My Mysterious Husband novel Chapter 183

“I’m very glad to hear that. It’s late. You should go to sleep.”

“Good night.”

Venus then went upstairs. Everything seemed so familiar and so many memories came flooding back. She found everything so dreamy and so surreal.

When Venus disappeared from view, John the Butler said to Mrs Qin: “I overheard someone say that Xinyou Qiao is behind these incidents, and maybe the injuries on Miss Chu’s face were caused by Xinyou.”

“Why can’t this terrible woman just leave us alone!” Mrs Qin said angrily. She continued: “I think Miss Chu is a very civilized girl. She is polite and sweet. She reminds me of Venus.”

“Yes. She is a good girl.” John sighed heavily.

Venus went upstairs and locked herself in a room. She found a mirror and looked at her face, and she was shocked by the horrifying handprint on her cheeks. She felt her face was burning under her mask, so, knowing that no one would come to this room at this hour, she removed the mask carefully, so that her face could cool off.

......

The atmosphere in the car was rather depressing.

“Alright, I know.” Henry hung up the phone and said to Kerry: “Sir, Xinyou is not in the staff dorm. They told me that she only lived in the dorm for the first two days since she got the job.”

Kerry wore a cold expression. He said: “Let’s go to Hao Nangong’s villa. She is probably there. If she isn’t, Hao must know where she is.”

“Yes.”

It was nine o’clock in the evening. After a day’s work, people in the city were about to start their nightlife. Many people gathered at the side of the street, having barbecues and drinking beers. They seemed so free and happy.

And all of a sudden, Kerry felt a pang of jealousy. He also wanted to be one of them, to be an average man. Even though they can’t make lots of money, and even though they don’t have much power, they still have real friendship, and they can share whatever they want with their friends, either it is their sadness, or their happiness.

Kerry went to elite schools when he was younger, and he is never a social person, so he didn’t make many friends from school. Hao Nangong was actually the only friend he had, but their friendship was also ruined. Now he realized that fate is fair to everyone. No one is perfect. He has wealth and power, but he lost something much more important, like family, love and friendship. Kerry was left all alone.

Sometimes he wish he could travel through time. If he could do that, he would travel to the past, and start afresh.

The car was stopped at the gate of Hao’s villa. Henry got off the car and knocked on the gate.

Suddenly, a man’s voice was heard from a speaker. He said: “Who are you here to see?”

“I’m here to see Mr Nangong.” Henry replied calmly.

“He is not home.” That man said. He then turned off the speaker directly.

Henry looked at Nighthawk who was standing behind him. Nighthawk smiled and said: “Just leave it to me.”

Nighthawk then walked towards the wall, and measured its height with his naked eyes. He then moved a few steps back, and then charged towards the wall at full speed. When he was about to bump into the wall, he summoned up all his strength and jumped up and then landed at the other side of the wall.

A few seconds later, the gate was opened.

“Who the hell are you? How did you......” A guard shouted. But he then went silent because he felt a gun was pointed at his head.

Kerry walked into the yard. The guard was shocked when he saw Kerry, and he drooped his head.

“Where is Hao Nangong?” Henry asked.

“Young Master has been living in his father’s villa these days.” The guard answered.

Kerry noticed the living room and a bedroom on second floor were still lit. But that bedroom is not Hao’s room. So he asked: “Who is living in that room?”

The guard looked at that room and answered: “It’s Miss Qiao.”
