Kerry Ye called Henry He from upstairs and ordered, “Let everyone go to look for Hao Nangong. All his
properties, the bars he usually goes to, hotels and so on. Find him.”
“Yes, Young master.”
Seeing Henry leave, Kerry turned around and calmly looked at Kevin Ye and said, “What’s going on,
now tell me.”
“Let’s go to the living room and I’ll tell you everything.” Kevin took two steps, staring at Xinyou Qiao and
said coldly, “Do you want to tell him or not?”
Xinyou took a step back, gripping the edge of the door, fear in her voice, “I don’t know what you’re
talking about. It has nothing to do with me.”
“Are you sure?”
Kerry glanced at the two and then stopped at Xinyou, “You together.”
…
Venus woke up among the bird-sound. Opening her eyes, she found it was a total strange place with
unfamiliar bed and furniture, but she was still wearing the same pajama.
She got up and pushed open the window. The fresh air came in, and the rain was still pattering down,
covering the lush green hills in the rain.
Where was this? Where’s Hao?
“You’re awake.”
Venus turned back, only to see Hao was standing at the door, smiling, however, in Venus’s eyes, there
was no attraction at all.
“Hao, where is this? What do you want?” Venus looked at him indifferently, her eyes clear and distant.
Hao walked in and smiled gently, “Are you hungry? Eat something first.”
Venus stared at him, forcing herself to calm down. She planned to do what he wanted, “You don’t have
any women’s clothes here. Please get one for me. I can’t go to dinner in my pajamas.”
“I’m sorry. Wait a moment, I’ll go and find one for you now.” After saying that, Hao turned around and
went out. Venus took a deep breath.
After last night, Venus was now afraid of Hao, even just looking at him. She was worrying he would
easily do something to hurt her.
What to do now? The phone must have been left at the hospital, and there was no phone in this room.
Now all she could do was to get to know the environment here and what Hao really wanted.
A few minutes later, Hao appeared at the door again, with a few new shirts and pants in his hands.
“Venus, I haven’t lived in this villa much and I don’t have any maids. There are only my clothes, so…”
“Well, it seems that I have no choice.” Venus took the clothes over. Seeing that Hao was still standing
at the door, she was a little furious, but she still said calmly, “Wait for me. I’ll change my clothes.”
“Okay, I’ll wait for you downstairs.”
As soon as Hao left, Venus immediately closed the door and locked it.
Venus was tall, so it’s not that unsuitable to wear Hao’s clothes. The pants were fine and Venus picked
the smallest one.
The villa had three floors, the pattern of which was similar to Ye’ s villa. The first floor had the living
room as well as the dining room and so on. The second floor was the bedroom, and the third floor was
the study and home theater.
Because it hadn’t been occupied for a long time, the whole house gave off a musty smell.
Venus came down the spiral staircase and met the first stranger in the villa, a middle-aged man in his
fifties, wearing an old-fashioned shirt and black pants, with a kind face.
“Hello, I’m the housekeeper here. My surname is Tang, you can call me Mr. Tang.”
Venus nodded at him, “Hello, Mr. Tang.”
He was stunned, not expecting her to be so kind.
“Venus, come this way.” Hao stood in the dining room calling out to her. Venus walked over to the table
where there were two bowls of porridge and a few plates of simple dishes.
“Are you hungry? Eat something first, I’ll send Mr. Tang out to buy ingredients later.” Hao helped her
pull the chair, pressing her to sit down. He leaned over and said, “My clothes suit you.”
Venus was irritated by his breath.
Seeing that he was sitting across from her, Venus said, “Hao, aren’t you going to explain?”
Hao picked up his chopsticks and said, “I was going to take you out of the country, but I ran into a
thunderstorm, so I had to bring you here.”
“Then why didn’t you ask about me? Won’t you ask if I’m willing?” Venus tried to make her tone sound
peaceful.
Hao stared straight at her, “Because I know you won’t agree, so I can only take you by force.”
“Good, then what? Did you bring me here to lock me up for the rest of my life?” Venus gripped the
chopsticks in her hand, suppressing the anger inside.
Hao smiled, “Of course not. I’ll take you away when it’s safer outside. The world is so big, so let’s find a
place to live where we don’t know anyone, just you and me, isn’t that good?”
“Not good!” Venus interrupted his fantasy, “Hao, this is just your idea, I don’t want to go with you.”
Hao’s face got a little colder and his smile disappeared a little, “Didn’t you want to leave Kerry? I’m
trying to help you get away from him completely. Why don’t you thank me?”
“Of course I want to leave him, but that doesn’t mean I have to go with you?”
Hao patiently convinced her, “Venus, didn’t we used to have a good relationship? You liked me, but in
the end, we were forced apart because of my mother, and now there are no barriers between us, so
why can’t you come with me?”
“Because I don’t love you anymore.” Venus said this out directly. From the beginning till now, she just
treated him as a friend.
Hao sat up straight and said with a cold face, “It’s okay, we still have a lot of time. You’ll fall in love with
me again.”
Venus was trembling with anger, but she couldn’t fall out with him, so she had to force herself to eat.
Only when she had the energy, could she fight with him.
The atmosphere was extremely depressing. After the two ate in silence for a while, Hao reminded her,
“Venus, don’t think of running away. This place is halfway up the mountains and there are no cars, so
you can’t walk out for two hours. Besides, don’t try to run into the mountains, there are quite a few
poisonous and fierce beasts there. You can easily lose your life if you are bitten by anything.”
Venus stirred the rice porridge in the bowl and said angrily, “I’m not that stupid.”
“If you’re bored, there’s a home theater on the third floor where has a lot of classic movies. There’s also
a drawing room where you can go to paint, and of course, you can also choose to watch TV on the first
floor. Remember, don’t fantasize about contacting Kerry. There aren’t any communication devices
here.”
After hearing this, Venus’s resentment deepened.
He was trying to keep her captive at this pace.
It seemed that she had overestimated herself. Originally, she wanted to use Hao’s power to escape
from Kerry, but now she had fallen into another hole.
Compared to that, she would rather stay in Kerry’s place, where at least she could still passively let her
brother find her.
If Hao forced to take her away, then it would be even more difficult for her brother to find her.
Hao saw her expression change unpredictably and smiled, “Venus, actually you’re not sick. You acted
for Kerry, right?”
Venus didn’t hide it from him, shrugging her shoulders and said, “Yeah, I’m just acting.”
“Good acting, Oscar owes you a golden man.” Hao teased.
“Thank you!” Venus ended this unpleasant conversation with two words.
Now, apart from waiting for Kevin or Kerry to save herself, she also had to save by herself.
Hao’s words that there were no communication devices here were inaccurate. Though she didn’t have
a cell phone, Mr. Tang had one, also Hao had one.
As long as she could get one of their cell phones, she would be saved.
…
Ye’ s villa
In the living room, Kerry, Kevin, and Xinyou were sitting there.
“Tell me, what’s going on?” Kerry asked.
Kevin understood that he couldn’t hide anything from him at this point, but also he couldn’t tell him
everything, so he thought about it and said, “Yesterday afternoon, I was wandering around in City A,
and happened to see Miss Qiao enter a café. I was about to go greet her, but found a man sitting
opposite her, and coincidentally, I knew this man. That’s Hao. “
Xinyou’ s face turned pale and her fingers were clutching the corner of her skirt as she quickly thought
of a response.
“Also, I saw that Hao gave her a card that seemed to tell her to do something, I guess it’s in her bag.
Brother, why not search for it?”
Kerry was sullen, “John, go to her room.”
“Yes.”
Xinyou knew that there was no way to cheat, so she ran over to kneel in front of Kerry to admit her
fault, “Kerry, I tell you everything now. It was Hao who forced me. He called me yesterday afternoon
and asked me to find a way to get you to sign that divorce agreement. If I didn’t agree, he would
threaten me, so I had no choice but to agree.”
