“Let me go!” Venus Mu struggled and said. But Heng Zhang’s strength was too great that she felt the
pain from his grip.
“Behave yourself!” Heng said. With a shake of his hand, Heng hurtled Venus to the stone wall hard,
either intentionally or out of anger.
Before Venus had time to cry out of pain, she heard a bang behind her. The thin wall of stone caved in
and another hole appeared.
Heng and Mr. Cai also returned to the cave when the two were manhandling. At that moment, they
were shocked by what they saw. It turned out that here is an altogether different world.
“Boss, shall we go in and have a look?” Heng said very excitedly. He completely forgot that he had lost
one of his men more than ten minutes earlier, and that he was arguing with Venus a few seconds
earlier.
gavin’s eyes moved from the cave to Venus. “Of course we should go in. You lead the way.” gavin said
to Venus.
Venus shook off Heng’s hand. With a snort, Venus turned and went into the cave.
Venus knew something about gavin. She knew he wouldn’t kill herself, but he would do anything he
could to upset her.
The newly discovered cave is much larger. The further they went in, the more slippery the stone
became. Then Venus thought she heard a loud noise of water.
Is there a river ahead?
Venus’s eyelid twitched. She thought it’s her chance to escape.
A little further in, the sound of water became more pronounced. In addition, Venus also found there was
light ahead.
Is it really an exit? Thinking of this, Venus was full of strength and she walked faster. Heng seemed to
know that she would like to escape and he has been closely following her.
The light was getting better and better. With cool vapor in the air, and such a loud sound, there seemed
to be a waterfall ahead.
Venus was right. When the waterfall appeared in its entirely, they were all attracted by its majestic
beauty.
Just as the poem reads, the waters cascade down from three thousand chi above, like the heaven’s
silver river dropping from the top.
At that moment, the poem exactly voices the feeling of Venus. Moreover, as they were behind the
waterfall, the visually striking of it was stronger.
Venus approached the edge of it and looked down and then a sense of dizziness came over her. She
could see nothing but the white waves below. If she jumps down from here, would she hit a reef or a
hidden rock?
But if she doesn’t jump, she would always be imprisoned by gavin. It’s hard to predict what would
happen next.
“What should I do? Should I jump or not?” Venus thought.
When Venus was thinking, a figure leaned toward her. Venus snapped back and took a step back.
Then she stared at gavin and said, “What do you want to do.”
gavin looked at Venus sarcastically and said, “What do you want to do? Do you want to jump down?”
Venus felt a chill in her heart. She didn’t know why gavin could always see through her own intentions.
As she moved toward the edge of the wall, she pointed to gavin and said, “Stand still, or I’ll jump
down.”
“Hum! You are too timid to jump down.” gavin said. Although gavin said that, he was nervous. Venus
looks weak, but she is very tough. Then he said with a softened tone, “Venus, I told you that I will let
you go when I find the treasure. I won’t go back in my word.”
Venus saw Heng behind her out of the corners of her eyes. She sneered and said, “gavin, what if you
can’t find the treasure forever?”
“As long as it exits, I will find it.” gavin said resolutely.
Venus had made up her mind. As gavin is so crazy about the treasure, he would never let her go if he
knows the truth. Besides, there were still Heng and Alisha who wanted to kill her.
“gavin, what if there is no treasure?” Venus said.
“What do you mean?” gavin said with cold eyes.
Venus shrugged and smiled, saying frankly, “I don’t want to lie to you at this late hour. The treasure
map is fake. Even if you turn all these mountains over, you won’t find the treasure.”
“Nonsense!” gavin said emotionally. The expression on the faces of the three people standing behind
him were different, one was surprised, one was angry and one was understanding.
“Why should I lie to you? The treasure map you had at first is true, but the one I gave you is fake.
Because Kerry doesn’t have no incomplete ones at all. His father only gave him half of the treasure
map. In order to save our child, he had no other choice but to forge one. We didn’t expect that you
would believe it’s true so easily.” Venus said.
gavin looked very surprised. Then he became very angry. “Venus, are you telling the truth?” gavin
asked through gritted teeth.
“Of course. Believe it or not.” Venus shrugged and said. As she spoke, she secretly got down the bag
on her shoulder.
“It’s impossible! How could here be no treasure?” gavin said incredibly, “I have asked many people,
and they say that here was a kingdom, but it disappeared, so the treasure was buried under the
ground…”
“gavin, you are too stupid.” Venus smiled helplessly and said, “If the treasure is really here, how can
you find it after so many years? It might have been found by others long ago. Otherwise, why didn’t the
people find it a few decades ago even if they had cut-throat fight?”
“I don’t believe it.” Gavin shook his head repeatedly in disbelief and said. Then he looked at Venus
greedy with eyes and said, “You did that on purpose, didn’t you? You said that because you want me to
let you go.”
Venus rolled her eyes and said, “gavin, believe it or not, that’s the truth.”
“Then why you told me that? Are you not afraid that I will kill you?” gavin said.
“Yes, of course I am, so,” Venus paused for a while and flung the bag out of her hand suddenly and
said, “I don’t want to play with you anymore.”
Before they knew it, Venus jumped into the waterfall and then disappeared.
Venus really jumped into the waterfall.
She was so desperate and determined, even if she might die.
There was a long silence at the entrance to the cave. No one spoke and no one shouted. In addition to
the scene that Venus jumped down the cliff, what in their mind were Venus’s words. She said here’s no
treasure at all.
As the goal that they had been pursuing for a long time disappeared in an instant, gavin and others
were all depressed and a little dispirited.
……
Kerry was eating noodles at a noodle shop in the town. His heart suddenly seemed to have been
grabbed by others so hard that he could hardly hold the chopsticks in his hand.
“What’s wrong with you?” Tianye Mu, who sat opposite him asked.
Kerry gasped in pain and said, “Nothing. I just have a sudden pain in my heart.”
Tianye picked up some noodles with chopsticks and blew them, saying, “Maybe your wound hasn’t
healed up yet.”
“Maybe.” Kerry said.
After resting for a while, Kerry restarted to eat noodles.
Henry was sitting at a nearby table. After he answered a phone, he threw his chopsticks immediately
and said to Kerry and Tianye, “Boss, Mr. Mu, our men found the van at a tollbooth with the same
license plate and the same type of vehicle as the police said. One of our men said the driver is Heng.”
“Where are they?” Kerry and Tianye asked at the same time.
“They are probably within fifty kilometers of us. They seem to be going to the airport and they are
driving very fast.” Henry said.
“They finally show up. But if they want to get out of here, they will have to see if we say yes.” Kerry said
coldly.
Then they drove to the airport. “Why they choose to leave suddenly? Don’t they want to look for the
treasure?” Tianye said somewhat confusedly.
“In the morning, I torn his den down. In the afternoon, I burnt down several of his villas. Do you think he
can still keep his equanimity?” Kerry said with a smirk.
Tianye was suddenly enlightened. It turned out that Kerry did so many things without telling him. But he
always felt that something might have happened.
More than an hour later, Kerry saw the van in front of him, full of people.
There was no much traffic on the way to the airport, and the people on the van seemed to have seen
Kerry. The van accelerated.
“They found us.” Tianye looked at the van and said.
“In that case, there’s no need to hide. Henry, run after it.” Kerry said excitedly.
“OK, boss.” Henry said.
There were three cars chasing the van at the same time. No matter how fast Heng drove the van, it’s
far inferior than the off-road vehicles.
Within minutes, the van was sandwiched by the jeeps and off-road vehicle.
Kerry stared at the people in the van. He felt there was someone missing. With the twitching of the
eyelid, Kerry pushed the door of the car open and walked straight to van with a gun in his hand.
“Get off the car!” Kerry shouted.
The one who drove the car is Heng. Just as the saying goes, when two foes meet, their eyes flash fire.
“Get off the car!” Kerry shouted again.
Tianye quietly walked to the side of the van and took a look inside. When he saw there was only a
middle-aged man and a woman sitting inside, and there was no sign of the man with the mask and
Venus, he was surprised.
“Kerry, Venus isn’t in the van.” Tianye said.
After being stunned for two seconds, Kerry walked to the van and looked inside. He found the man with
the mask and Venus were really not in the van.
“Get off, or I will shoot.” Kerry said. With bloodshot eyes, Kerry looked ferocious.
Heng and Alisha were prepared to be killed, so they got off the car calmly.
“Where is Venus?” Kerry asked.
“She is dead.” Heng said with a cruel smile.
Kerry and Tianye were all surprised. Tianye lifted Heng up by the collar and said, “What did you say?”
“I said she is dead.” Heng said with emphasis on the word of “dead”.
