"Drive."
Xuan Chu quickly turned the car around and drove to the distant provincial road.
The man behind him picked up the treasure map and looked at it for a few seconds before his face
changed dramatically and shouted, "Stop them."
At the command, seven or eight black-clothed men with guns rushed out of the woods to shoot at the
speeding car.
Xuan was not panic and had a grip on the steering wheel. He looked straight ahead but there was
confusion in his eyes.
Venus Mu was very self-conscious about lying on the back seat. Since she couldn't help much, she
protected herself and she didn't want to be shot by bullets.
Kerry Ye pulled out his gun and shot, and the two black-clad men fell to the ground. But none of them
were dead because he shot them in the thigh.
The glass of the car was bullet-proof so the bullets hit it and just left traces. They didn't shoot through.
The car was about to drive on the highway when the back tires banged. The car's center of gravity was
unstable and the car swerved sharply. Venus was thrown in the car door and the head was hit. She felt
pain.
Because of the inertia, Kerry also crashed into her. But he quickly got up and asked urgently, "Are you
alright?"
Venus looked terrible and shook her head. Seeing the people behind him chasing after them, Kerry
untied Venus and said to Xuan, "The car can't drive. You take her and run."
"What about you?" Venus asked anxiously.
"I'll be fine."
"Come with us."
"We can't get away together. I'll stay and stop them. Cut the crap." Kerry opened the door of his side of
the car and got out first himself, and then pulled Venus down, "Go. Or none of us will get away."
"Kerry," Venus grabbed his hand tightly and refused to let him go.
"Don't worry about me. Have you forgotten how powerful I am?" Kerry made a comforting smile at her.
Venus was startled. Although he was endowed with supernatural abilities, it would be very difficult to
use them if he was injured.
"You mustn't get hurt, all right?" Her eyes were sore and she had the urge to cry.
Kerry was moved, hugged her waist and kissed her heavily on the lips. He said, "I promise you, I won't
hurt." Then he pushed her into the front of Xuan who jumped out from the car, "Get her out of here
safely. I'll cover you. Go."
Xuan looked at him with complicated thought and pulled her arm to run towards the side of the road.
There were fierce gunshots behind them and a few bullets even flew past their ears, but neither of them
could stop and could only run forward with all their might.
The gunfire was constant. The two of them stepped over the overgrown deserted beach, crossed the
dense forest, and ran all the way to the side of the road. It was only then that Venus realized that at
some point one of her high heels was missing.
The sound of gunfire was getting less and less. When a truck on the road just drove over, Xuan waved
to the driver to signal him to stop. The driver didn't dare to stop in this situation and would only slam on
the accelerator.
Venus hadn't eaten since last night and didn't have a single bit of strength, plus after running for so
long just now, she almost fell to the ground.
"How are you?" Xuan picked her up and saw how bad she looked.
Venus gasped, "I'm fine."
Xuan's eyes showed concern. At this time another small car came on the road, Xuan directly pulled out
his gun and pointed it at the driver inside. The driver was shocked, and stepped on the brakes. The car
pulled up near them.
Xuan opened the back door and they got in. The driver said warily, "Don't hurt me."
"Drive us to downtown Sky City." Xuan said in a cold voice.
"Well." the driver's hands trembled and grabbed the steering wheel, starting the car a few times but
hard to start it up.
Xuan was afraid that the people behind him would catch up and reassured the driver, "Don't worry. We
won't do anything to you. We just want a ride."
Perhaps that worked, the car buzzed and flew out.
Venus was extremely tired, but she still frowned and asked Xuan, "What the hell is going on? Why
have things come to this?"
Xuan was also puzzled, "I'm not sure."
"You're not sure? Did you not arrange this accident?" Venus asked in surprise.
"I arranged it, but the process wasn't like this." Xuan was also confused.
"What do you mean?"
Xuan looked at the driver of the car and said in a low voice, "I arranged for them to snatch you away
but I didn't let them fight or even shoot."
"Are you sure this is the group you're looking for?"
Xuan wasn't sure, "I didn't have any direct contact with them. To be exact, this incident was planned by
my friend."
"Your friend?" A face flashed in her mind and she asked with a gloomy face, "Is that him?"
Xuan looked her eyes and nodded his head.
Venus couldn't believe it, "Xuan, you ...... right. It's me who forgot. You were already his friend. You
were in this together."
The man in the mask only wanted the treasure map. He didn't care who lived or died.
"Yan Chu." Xuan was upset with this tone of her voice, "What are you mad at me for? Since you want
to achieve your goal, you will inevitably make sacrifices. If you appear in front of Kerry intact, aren't you
afraid that he will be suspicious?"
"I'm angry not at them for beating me and yelling at me. I don't care what they do to me. What about
Kerry? Do you think those people will let him go when they get what they want?"
Xuan was also depressed, "Yan, I don't want him to die either. What good will it does me if he dies?
Our Chu family needs to do business.
Venus stared at him unable to say anything. The thought that Kerry could lose his life at any moment,
her heart was like being pressed by stones that couldn't breathe.
She hated him and had wanted to kill him. But this time she was the one who set him up and he didn't
hesitate to save her. If Kerry lost his life in this situation, she would have a guilty conscience for the rest
of her life. But the strange thing was, when Kerry gave him the remaining half of the treasure map, why
did he order his subordinates to stop them?
Was there something wrong with the treasure map? Or he wanted to kill Kerry.
If that was the case, Kerry would only be in more danger.
"Give me the phone," Venus extended her hand. Her phone should have been lost in the house where
she was held.
Xuan pulled out the phone and placed it in her hand. Venus recalled the landline of Ye's villa and dialed
it. The phone only rang twice before being answered.
"Hello, this is the Ye family." John the Butler's bland voice came over.
"John, I'm Yan."
"Miss Chu? You ...... you were rescued by master?" John the Butler was a bit pleased.
Yan leaned on the back of the chair and closed her eyes, "John, Kerry might be in danger. You tell
Henry Zhang to quickly send someone to rescue him." At the end of the sentence, a tear slipped from
the corner of her eye.
"Where is he? What happened to master?" John the Butler turned from joy to alarm and asked.
"He stayed there to save me. I ...... I don't know how he is now." Her mind floated the scene of him
kissing herself just now. Tears flowed even more fiercely and her voice was choked.
"Miss Chu, don't cry yet. Tell me the address, and I'll ask Henry to bring someone over right away."
"At the border of Sky City and S City, there's a lake nearby." Venus tried to control her voice.
"Well, I see." John the Butler continued to ask after a pause, "Miss Chu, do you remember where you
were locked up yesterday? If the young master has been taken away, it will be easy for Henry to find."
"I was blindfolded by them all the way to the house. It was quiet at night as if it was a separate villa but
I don't know anything else."
"I see. Miss Chu, Where are you now? Do you need me to send a car to pick you up?"
"No, I'm with Xuan now. He'll take me back."
"Miss Chu, be careful along the way."
John the Butler hung up the phone and went to inform Henry with an anxious look. No one had
expected things to develop to this point.
Xuan was also a little anxious, and took the phone to his friend to dial over. He wanted to determine
what exactly was wrong.
When the call came through, Xuan directly questioned, "Why did the other party shoot? Do you want
me to die at the scene too?"
"Xuan, I'm sorry. There was a problem in the middle." The silver faced man said apologetically.
"What went wrong?"
"The bastard wanted to keep the treasure. So ......"
