Big Novel

After thinking for a while, Kerry Ye said, “It’s a risky move. I can’t use it unless I have to. You go to tell Xuan Chu that I want to
negotiate with them. As long as they let Venus Mu and my child back, I will give all the treasure to them and I’ll never settle
accounts with them afterwards. I will agree to all the conditions. I only want them to let Venus and my child go.”
“I’ll do it right now.” Henry said concernedly, “Sir Kerry, you haven’t recovered from the gunshot wound. You need to get some
rest. Only when you are well can you have the strength to save Venus and your son.”
“I see. Let me know immediately if there is any news.” Kerry said.
After hanging up the phone, Kerry lay in bed staring at the ceiling with hollow eyes. How can’t he know he needs to have a good
rest? But his insomnia is too severe that he couldn’t sleep.
Henry came for Xuan by car after hanging up the phone.
The little dark room is stinking. Xuan, who has an imposing appearance, looked worse at that time than the tramps. Out of
kindness, Henry helped Xuan recover his arms without telling Kerry, because Henry saw it’s really difficult for Xuan to eat and
answer a call of nature. But Henry put heave fetters on Xuan’s hands and feet.
Xuan was usually given little food, so that he wouldn’t starve to death. In a few days, Xuan became skinny.
“Xuan, come out. Let’s have a talk.” Henry said calmly.
Xuan pulled his long bang. “I have nothing to talk about with you. Don’t waste your time.” Xuan said with disdainful eyes.
“Xuan, now there is an opportunity for Kerry to settle this matter peacefully with you. If you want to get out of here and no one will
be implicated, come out and have a talk.” Henry said. Then Henry turned and walked out of the small black room. He couldn’t
talk about things in a smelly room.
After waiting under the tree for a few minutes, a muffled sound of shackles came. A smile appeared on the corners of the mouth
of Henry. It seems that everyone is eager to live.
Henry lit a cigarette and passed it to Xuan. Xuan put in directly into his mouth without minding.
Xuan took a deep draw on the cigarette and asked with a hoarse voice, “Just tell me what’s the opportunity.”
“I know you can get in touch with the one behind the scene, so Kerry wants to negotiate with you. As long as he sends Venus
and their child back safely, Kerry will agree to all the conditions. Kerry will give all the treasure to him and Kerry will never settle

accounts with him afterwards. You will still be the boss of mk and the amusement park will go on as usual. He won’t ask who
your friend is. Well, isn’t that a generous offer?” Henry said.
Xuan took a look at Henry surprisedly and sneered, “Is Kerry so kind? Why am I so incredulous?”
Henry sighed and said, “To tell you the truth, this morning, Venus was tortured by your friend and she fainted. Her life is in
danger. Therefore, Kerry’s heart was softened he and asked me to pass on the message.”
The cigarette between Xuan’s fingers shook and the ash dropped to the ground suddenly. “Did he torture Venus?” Xuan asked.
“Yes. Besides, he also sent a video to Kerry. Kerry made up his mind when he saw how bad Venus looks like. Otherwise, Kerry
will kill you to vent his hatred.” Henry said.
Xuan was expressionless. His mind seemed to dwell on what Henry had just said.
“What did he do to Venus?” Xuan asked dully.
Henry looked at Xuan in surprise, because he didn’t expect that Xuan cares about that. Henry remembered Xuan’s loyalty to the
man, and he suddenly thought that their relationship is not that simple.
Oh my god, if it’s really the case, there is much to make an issue of.
“I don’t know exactly what happened. I only heard Kerry say that Venus fainted. And she looked terrible. I wonder what your
friend did to her.” Henry said. After saying sorry to Venus in the heart, Henry began to talk nonsense, “But we are all men. What
happened...”
“Bullshit!” Xuan interrupted harshly, “He won’t do that to Venus, absolutely.”
Henry was excited in the heart, because he found the soft spot of Xuan. That means the gentle methods and force he used
recently were in vain.
“Why is that impossible? Although Kerry didn’t tell me about it explicitly, I sensed it from his words. Do you think Kerry will give
up the thought of revenge if he didn’t suffer such a big blow?” Henry said. Henry’s words added fuel to Xuan’s anger.
Xuan was obviously agitated. His cigarette was unsteady in his hand. He paced around in fetters. His mood was as heavy as the
sound of the fetters.

Xuan knew the man keeps him at an arm’s length. The man doesn’t refuse Xuan nor makes some promises. Xuan wants to get
the man’s trust and so Xuan agreed to help the man to get the treasure map, but Xuan didn’t expect...
“Xuan, to be honest, I really admire you from the bottom of my heart. You are so affectionate to your friends. You were caught by
us, but we didn’t hear from your friend and he didn’t send anyone to rescue you. The elaborate game I designed to wait for more
people to put their necks into the noose is in vain.” Henry said.
Xuan didn’t speak. He just took a puff at his cigarette and then he choked and began to cough violently.
Henry smiled coldly. After Xuan stopped coughing, Henry said, “I know Kerry best. Although he is sometimes unkind, he is a man
of his word. As he said he won’t call to account, he won’t do that. You can rest assured of that.”
After saying what he wanted to say, Henry smoked in silence. He gave another cigarette to Xuan. When a cigarette was about to
burn out, Xuan said, “Give me my phone. I’ll talk to him.”
Henry took the phone he had prepared out of his pocket and gave it to Xuan. “I enjoy talking with smart people. You’re too
stubborn these days, though.” Henry said.
Xuan threw the cigarette butt on the ground and crushed it out. Then he took the phone and entered the password. He dialed the
number resolutely. He is not a saint and he also has moods. He doesn’t want to prompt others without any reason.
The phone rang for a long time before it got through. But no one spoke and there was an unusual silence.
“I’m Xuan Chu.” Xuan said.
“Xuan, it’s really you. I thought it’s someone else. Where are you? Are you OK?” gavin said with a magnetic and seductive voice.
After hearing gavin’s voice, Xuan was sad somehow. Xuan looked up into the darkness and could not answer him. “You still have
Venus?” Xuan asked.
“Of course,” gavin said proudly, “Or what shall I use to threaten Kerry?”
“How is she doing?” Xuan asked.
“Hey, why do you cares about her?” gavin said.
“She’s been playing the role as my sister for so long and I just asked habitually.” Xuan said.

“She is good.” gavin said with a smile.
Then Xuan’s free hand clenched. Maybe it’s because of the psychological hint Henry gave him, or because he is so sensitive
and he sensed something unusual from gavin’s tone.
“Kerry sent someone to talk to me today. Do you want to know what we talked about?” Xuan said.
After being silent for a while, gavin sneered and said, “What have you talked about? Does he want me to let go of Venus and his
son?”
“Yes, as long as you let go of Venus and his son, you can continue to find the treasure. He promised he will never settle accounts
with you afterwards...”
But before Xuan finished what he wanted to say, gavin interrupted him. “Xuan, when did you become so naïve? How can you
believe Kerry’s promise?”
“Why I can’t I believe him? All you want is treasure. It’s fair that he gives you the treasure and you let go of Venus and his son.”
Xuan said angrily.
“Fair? This is no fairness in the world.” gavin said.
“Do you want to keep Venus with you all the time? You keep her by your side only because you want her to be your talisman.
Now that Kerry has promised he won’t revenge you, why you still keep her?” Xuan said aggressively.
“Hum! Stop talking that. I won’t believe anyone’s promise. I’m not going to let her go until I find the treasure.” gavin said.
After hearing that, Xuan’s heart wrenched. “Don’t you even believe me?” Xuan roared angrily.
gavin was stunned for a long time. “Xuan, you are the one I trust most, but I don’t trust Kerry. Therefore, I won’t accept any of his
terms. Where are you now? I’ll send someone to save you right now.” gavin said.
Xuan was very sad. “I don’t know where I am.” Xuan said.
Before gavin said something, Hang Zhang’s voice came. “Boss, Venus’s fever is getting worse.” Hang said.
“Damn it.” Gavin scolded with a low voice. “I have something to do. Take care of yourself.” gavin said to Xuan anxiously. Then
gavin hung up the phone.

Xuan held the phone dully and he was desperate. This is the man who he gave so much for. Xuan is willing to lose all the
reputation of Chu family for gavin’s sake, but all he got is “take care of yourself.”
“Ha, ha, ha” Xuan laughed wildly. The faith that had sustained him so long collapsed. His body had already reached its limit and
he was supported by his faith. Now that his faith collapsed, he broke down. His world was plunged into total darkness.
Henry didn’t expect it to come to this. He said immediately to his subordinates not far away, “Get the doctor here.” Then Henry
bent down to put his finger below Xuan’s nose. Luckily, Xuan’s still alive. Anger, coupled with chronic undernourishment, made
him faint.
Henry called two people over and said to them with a frown, “Throw him into the bathroom to have a good bath.”
“Yes.”
After Xuan was carried away, Henry was depressed. It seemed the talks collapsed. Picking up the phone that had fallen to the
ground, Henry sent Kerry the phone number of gavin. Then Henry called Kerry to tell him what happened.
“Sir Kerry, is Xuan...”Henry didn’t say the followings. Henry is a male chauvinist.
“It’s useless whatever their relationship is. Ask Xuan about all the information of gavin when he wakes up. Doesn’t he want to
find the treasure? I will go to tear his base camp apart.” Kerry said viciously.
“Yes, Sir Kerry. You should go to bed early. It’s too late.” Henry said.
“I’ll hang up.” Kerry said.
