Two hours went by, and Nighthawk finally came back.
“Sir, I only found one ship that is willing to take us there.” Nighthawk said. “I went to the harbour and
asked every ship owner, but they all refused because it is too dangerous to go to that island. But luckily,
one ship owner agreed, although he charges a huge amount of money for doing it.”
Kerry sat up in an instant and said: “Good. Let’s go.”
“Our people haven’t arrived yet. Should we wait for them?”
“They are still not here?”
Nighthawk’s head drooped and he said: “They are spread on various islands, and most of them are still
looking for ships to take them here.”
“How long will it take?”
“It may take another two hours.”
Kerry shot him a sideways glance. Since both Venus and the baby were on that island, he couldn’t be
too reckless. Besides, it was getting dark and he had no idea what that island looks like. So he said:
“Fine. Tell the owner of that ship that we will set off at five o’clock tomorrow morning.”
“Yes. Do you want to eat anything? It was a long journey.”
Kerry was in no mood to eat. He said tiredly: “Just buy me some takeout food.”
Nighthawk nodded and left the room. He didn’t know why was Kerry so sure that the man they had
been looking for was on that island. Kerry didn’t tell him, and he was in no position to ask.
Every woman is a talented mother. Venus is young, but that doesn’t make her less of a good mother.
After spending a whole day with her baby, she was already familiar with everything that she needs to
do to take care of the baby. She can feed the baby, change the baby’s diapers, and make the baby go
to sleep with so much ease as if she has been doing these things for years.
There is a special bond between a mother and her baby, and the baby will never forget his mother’s
smell no matter how long they are separated from each other.
Venus’s baby grew really fast, and three little teeth already came out. They were very cute, like little
shells. The baby didn’t like to stay in the cradle, so Venus would put him on bed. He would try to sit up
with the support of his hands. And tears brimmed Venus’s eyes when she saw her baby sit up
successfully for the first time. She missed so many important moments in her baby’s life.
The little baby pointed at a bunch of toys on the ground, and Venus didn’t know which one did he want,
so she put everything in front of him. The baby was so happy and he waved his arms randomly. He
then picked up a toy car and pushed the button on it, and then he put the car on bed and the car
zoomed away. He giggled so happily.
He then cleared a little space in front of him to build Lego. He was not very good at it but he didn’t
seem frustrated at all. When he finally built a little building with the bricks, he grabbed Venus’s arm
happily and showed her his master piece.
Venus dried her tears and said: ‘That’s amazing. Do you want to be an engineer?”
The baby seemed to understand her, and he smiled even more brightly.
The baby is just perfect. He is healthy, smart, and active. But Venus is always overwhelmed by
complicated emotions when she sees him, because she had been absent for too long, and she feels so
guilty about it.
At that moment, the door was pushed open. Venus turned around and found it was the man with the
mask.
The baby was so excited when he saw the man. He reached his hands out and wanted the man to hug
him. The man walked in and gave the baby a toy gun. He pinched the baby’s nose and said: “This is a
gift. Do you like it?”
The baby held the gun against his chest, and he gave the man a kiss on his cheek.
The man’s eyes softened. He rubbed the baby’s head gently. He is a fierce and violent man, but after
spending so much time with the baby, his heart became tender and soft. Because the baby is just too
cute. He is always smiling and he seems to be able to understand what the adults are saying. Even
Alisa, who is fierce and violent, is rather fond of the baby, and she always buys the baby toys when she
goes out.
“What’s the matter?” Venus asked in a gentle voice.
The man was teaching the baby how to play the gun. He said: “Xuan Chu is missing. His inferiors told
me that Xuan and Kerry went to a construction site yesterday, and he hasn’t come back yet. What do
you think has happened?”
Venus said in a flat tone of voice: “I took the treasure map away from Kerry, and he is must furious at
the moment. He won’t let Xuan escape easily.”
The man gave the toy gun to the baby. He looked at Venus and said: “Where do you think Kerry hide
Xuan?” His face was hidden beneath the mask and Venus couldn’t see his expression clearly. But his
eyes reflected that he didn’t really care a lot, which confused Venus a lot.
“I don’t know. Maybe it’s the place where Heng Zhang was locked last time.”
“Interesting. Obviously Kerry is going to use Xuan as a hostage.” The man said. He then stood up and
walked away, while saying: “He really thinks that he can threaten me with Xuan. So funny.”
Venus startled. She said: “So you won’t save Xuan?”
The man turned around and said: “I still have you. And as long as you are here with me, Kerry doesn’t
have the guts to hurt Xuan!”
“Wait a second.” Venus looked at him calmly and said: “Obviously we will meet each other very often.
What’s your name?”
“You want to know who I am?” The man laughed.
Venus shrugged her shoulders and said: “It’s alright if you don’t want to tell me. I just want to know how
should I call you.”
The man laughed coldly and said: “You can call me ‘Gavin’.”
“Gavin? Good. I’ll call you Gavin.” Venus said. She knew it is a fake name.
Xuan Chu, at that moment, was in great pain. His arms had been dislocated since Henry took him back
yesterday. At first he was tortured by agonizing pain, and then he could no longer feel his arms.
He hadn’t drank any water for twenty hours, and he felt his throat was burning. He was so hungry and
his stomach was rumbling. He suffered so much all because of that person, and he hoped that person
could understand his feelings.
The door was opened. Henry walked in with a bottle of water.
“Mr Chu, have you made up your mind?” Henry said coldly.
Xuan only snorted in disgust. He said in a hoarse voice: “I don’t know anything.”
“Mr Chu is indeed a tough person.” Henry said. He then opened the bottle and poured the water on the
ground.
Xuan’s eyes fell on the water. Now the water was so near to him and his thirst was even stronger.
Every cell in his body was desperate for some water and he was seized by so much pain.
“Henry! I know you are here to humiliate me! And now you have accomplished your purpose and you
can leave!” Xuan shouted. He was worried that he wouldn’t be able to resist the temptation and tell all
the secrets.
Henry kept pouring the water. He walked close to him and said: “Mr Chu. You are a decent man and
you know I hate to treat you like this. But your people kidnapped Kerry’s baby to make money. Don’t
you think that is way too nasty?”
Xuan didn’t say anything. He knew what they did was wrong, but that was his only option.
“Mr Chu. Tell me where is the kid and I’ll set you free. This is good for both Chu Family and Ye Family.”
Henry said sincerely. “This is Kerry’ s first son, and if something happens to the kid, both you and your
family will be destroyed by him.”
Xuan laughed with contempt. He didn’t say anything.
Henry was not angry at all. He kept saying: “Sure, your family is also a great family and you are not
afraid of Ye Family. But you know if you kill Kerry’ s son, Kerry will take revenge at any cost. Your
parents, and your little sister, and Yan Chu, will all become Kerry’s targets. Don’t you even care about
them? Can you really put their lives at risk just for some money?”
