My Mysterious Husband novel Chapter 200

Kerry Ye didn’t believe his nonsense and continued to ask, “But why do I get the feeling that you’re stalling? And, you asked me to think it through in this morning, don’t you want to give a further explanation about it to me, President Chu?”

Xuan Chu said blankly, “Nothing. I just want to remind you to get it straight so that you won’t regret it in the future.”

“Why?”

“Kerry, you never know. Indeed, I appreciate you saving Yan Chu’s life with the treasure map. But what if you didn’t like her anymore? Won’t you regret your choice?”

Kerry stared at him and said to him as well as to himself, “Xuan, I’ve ever had eyes for her. Even if my love faded one day, I won’t regret it. Because to others, the map may be a fortune, but to me, it’s just a map but nothing.”

At these words, Xuan cast a surprised glance at him. Couldn’t believe that there would be someone totally indifferent to a huge treasure!

“Kerry, you can’t convince me. Or maybe you know that it’s a fake map so……”

He seemed to have guessed his response and interrupted him directly, “Look, Xuan, I don’t know whether it is true or not. As for the rest, you can believe or not, but I don’t want to explain. The only thing I want to do is to save Yan.”

Xuan was lost in thought. Wasn’t it in vain if their great efforts were returned by a mere fake map?

At this moment, the waiter served them two bowls of beef noodles, and Kerry took the one without peppers and tucked into it.

After living with Venus Mu for a long time, he changed his taste into the one akin to hers and began to dislike pepper as well.

He felt better after stuffing his empty belly with a bowl of noodles. Kerry paid for it, then he said and was ready to going out, “Come on, time’s limited.”

The temperature went higher as the sun’s ray became stronger, getting beads of sweat on his forehead. Kerry bent down to take a cigarette out of the car, lit it, and calmed his mind down in the puffs.

By then, he could stop the time to save Venus as well as keep the map. But it was too dangerous for that there must have been under surveillance. Fat chance at killing all of them, after all. What’s more, Venus had forbidden him from killing others.

Xuan finally came out as he almost finished the cigarette.

The two guys were on the road again. The car compass freed Kerry of guiding the direction, so he tilted his head to look out the window with dashing eyebrows wrinkled in anxiety.

It just occurred to him that the kidnappers, luckily, proposed this meeting during the daytime because the mask on Venus’s face won’t work anymore tonight, and once found out that she was his wife after seeing her face and taking an investigation, they would no doubt hold all the cards.

He didn’t want to place her in such a predicament.

As they went through the last toll station of Sky City after over three hours, a gentle female voice was heard from the compass and said, “You’re now in S City.”

Followed a few miles drive, Kerry caught a natural lake not far away. Surrounded by thick trees, the lake, shallow and a bit turbid in summer, was turned into a perfect hiding spot.

Xuan drove in and parked the car by the lake. Here was secluded by the dense trees from the roads, nothing could be heard except the whizzing sounds from the cars and the chirping of cicadas.

The clock said twenty to two in the afternoon. There were twenty minutes left before the appointed time.

Kerry wiped the gun in his hand to kill time calmly.

As for the map, it was casually stuffed in his pants pocket.

Xuan lit a cigarette irritably and heard him say, “You stay in the car, if there’s something wrong outside, go save Yan first.”

“How about you?”

“Since I’ve been in Sky City for quite a long time, certainly I would have my ways to escape even if I’m caught by them.” Kerry said lightly. He believed that Venus didn’t leak even a bit of his secret to Xuan. Though with a close relationship with Tianye Mu, she didn’t allow him to threaten Kerry by this, and her integrity was thus told and became one of the reasons why he had a crush on her.

A jeep came into their line of visions at nearly two o’clock.

Kerry was all tensed up. As the approaching car stopped, he pinned the gun to his waist and got out of the car cleanly without a tint of fear.

A man in a camouflage shirt and black wide-leg trousers came out of the jeep. Dark skins and firm eyes, the man looked as young as Kerry with the powerful arms covered a vivid giant dragon in tattoos.

The quick-thinking didn’t get him any clue about this man.

“Oh, I know you, Kerry.” A smile displayed on the man’s face. He recognized that this guy was the man who talked with him on the phone this morning.

“Where’s Yan?” Kerry didn’t want to waste their time and came straight to the point.

“Where’s my thing?” The man was canny as well.

Kerry took out the map from the pocket. The archaic sheepskin roll rendered it a sense of history.
