My Mysterious Husband

“What happened last time was only an accident. If we go one-on-one, I’ll beat the shit out of you!” Tianye said.
“You think I’m afraid of you? Bring it on!”
The tension built up. They both rolled up their sleeves and a fight was about to happen. All of a sudden, they heard a sharp crack
and they startled. They turned their heads and found Xiran was looking at them with undisguised contempt. A cup shattered into
pieces on the floor.
Xiran put a smile on her face and said: “What are you looking at? Fight! Let’s see who will be the winner. The loser will buy me
some food because I am starving.”
Tianye and Kerry looked at each other. They could hear the strong sarcasm in her voice.
“Come on. Please fight. I really want to enjoy this little show.” Xiran said. She then laughed and said: “Aren’t you ashamed of
yourselves? You are both adults and each of you runs a company! What will Venus think when she learns that when she and the
baby are in danger, the two men she loves the most are fighting each other bitterly?”
Tianye and Kerry soon calmed down. They went back to their seats quietly. A minute ago, they were like two tigers, and now,
they were like two rabbits.
Xiran continued: “You sure you don’t want to keep fighting? Fine. Then let’s talk about how should we save Venus. Kerry, this
morning you said you don’t need my help. What about now? Have you changed your mind?”
Kerry said: “The reason why I didn’t want you to get involved in this is because I didn’t want you to know that Venus is Yan.
Venus is always worried about that. She thought you will be angry with her when you find out. But now, you know it and of course
I want you to help me. After all, Venus is not only your friend. She is also your....” Kerry looked at Tianye and said: “your sister-in-
law.”
Kerry believes it was Xiran who saved Tianye, or Tianye wouldn’t be so obedient to her. Kerry wanted to make Xiran happy with
him because she is the only woman who can bring Tianye under control.
Xiran smiled after hearing what he said. Tianye also nodded. He was determined to marry Xiran, so Venus would be her sister-
in-law soon.
Tianye then asked: “So, you just said that Venus is now in the south-west?”

Kerry nodded. “Yes. According to the treasure map, the treasure is hidden in the south-west. So they are must there.”
“That place has many forests and many mountains. It will not be easy to find them.” Tianye said. “But they will have to eat and
stay in hotels, so they will leave trails. We need to send many people to search for them based on these trails.”
Kerry wore a serious expression. He said: “That is what I thought. I have sent most of my people to search for them but there are
just too many mountains and there are still not enough people.”
“Do you know who is their leader?” Tianye asked.
“I saw him once, but he was wearing a mask so I have no idea who he is. Now the only thing that I can do is to wait for Xuan Chu
to wake up and try to get some information from him.”
“That man is wearing a mask?” Tianye sunk into deep thoughts. He had never met anyone who wears a mask.
Suddenly, Kerry’s phone rang. It was Henry calling. Kerry picked it up and said: “What’s the matter?”
“Sir, Xuan Chu escaped.”
Kerry stood up from his chair and shouted: “What the hell? Isn’t he still in a coma?”
Henry explained: “Half an hour ago, Xuan was taken to a hospital to do a physical examination. Our people were waiting outside.
But when he was pushed out, we found it was already a different person.”
“What a bunch of losers!” Kerry shouted angrily. He knew he’d better refrain his anger because both Xiran and Tianye were
present. So he took a deep breath and said: “Where is Zhenyun Chu?”
“Eh...he is also missing.” Henry mumbled.
Kerry was so angry. Xuan was his only bargaining chip. And without him, Kerry couldn’t even have a negotiation with the man
wearing the mask.
He suddenly realized Zhenyun had planned everything beforehand. “He is indeed a cunning fox.” Kerry thought.
“Go and find him! The highway, airport, train station and bus station! Don’t miss any point!” Kerry said.
“But, sir, we don’t have enough people. Eighty percent of our people are now in the mountains.” Henry said carefully.

Kerry took a deep breath and said: “Wait a second.” He then turned to Tianye and said: “Xuan Chu escaped. Can you lend me
some people to chase him?”
“Sure.” Tianye said. “Send me the pictures of Xuan Chu and Zhenyun Chu. I’ll ask my people to wait at the airport and the train
station. You ask your people to wait at the high way and bus station. Oh, don’t forget about the wharf.”
“I know.” Kerry felt reassured now he had Tianye’s help. He knows how powerful Tianye is.
Tianye then left the room with Xiran.
......
After everything was arranged, Tianye looked at Xiran and said: “Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something?”
Xiran leaned against him and said tired: “I’m fine. Venus’s matter is more urgent.”
Tianye stroked her nose and said: “You are also very important. Let’s have some food.”
Xiran was overcome with a wave of happiness.
There is a noodle restaurant nearby, and Xiran knows Tianye loves spaghetti dearly so she took him to that restaurant and
ordered two spaghetti, even though she is not that interested in spaghetti.
“I remember Venus learned how to make spaghetti just for me. She is a bad cook, but I always tell her that her spaghetti is the
best in the world. She is very simple. If you say something nice about her, she will be happy for a whole day.” Tianye said.
Xiran knew Tianye was worried about Venus. After all, Venus is his only family. She grabbed his hand and said: “Don’t worry.
She will be fine.”
Tianye took her hand into his and said: “Now we can only pray.”
Many people were sent out to search for Xuan and Zhenyun, but they couldn’t find them anywhere. Kerry was so angry and he
wanted to go to Hong Kong to find them, but Tianye said: “Hong Kong is Zhenyun’s place. You will never come back alive if you
go there.”
“Then what should we do?” Kerry said.
“Now we should find Venus first. That is what truly matters. We will set off tomorrow.”

Then Tianye went back to his place. He was exhausted. When he got back, he found Xiran had already fallen asleep on a sofa.
He then held her up and took her to the bedroom.
Tianye didn’t want Xiran to go with them. Because this journey would be full of uncertainties and dangers, and he didn’t want
Xiran to take any risk. But Xiran insisted that she should go.
Xiran said: “Don’t worry about me. I’ve been around, you know. I was already in the society when you were still in college.
Besides, I will be worrying about you all the time if you leave me alone in this city. So I must go with you.”
“But......”
Before Tianye said anything, Xiran put her finger in front of his mouth and said: “It’s settled. I’ll go with you.”
Tianye finally agreed reluctantly. He held her in his arms and said: “I will protect you.”
“Sure. You will. I’m your woman.”
The next day, they all arrived at the airport. Kerry was very surprised when he saw Xiran. He couldn’t believe she was also going
with them. But he didn’t say anything. He knew Xiran would be angry if he displayed distrust of her ability.
They boarded. And they talked about what should they do when they get there.
Xiran said: “When we get there, we should tell the local police about Venus’s missing. They have very sophisticated security
cameras and maybe they can help.”
Tianye nodded and said: “That’s right. We need their help. We don’t know that place very well and we don’t even know where to
start.”
“But, we don’t have any connections there. Will they help us?” Kerry said.
“That is a problem.” Tianye said.
Xiran looked at them and said: “I know someone in the police station.”
Kerry and Tianye looked at her in surprise.
“But he is not working in F city.”

Kerry sighed with disappointment. “Then how can he help us?”
Xiran glared at him and said: “He is working in the police station of F province.”
“Really?” Kerry’ s eyes widened in surprise. “Why can’t you make yourself clear the first time.”
“You didn’t let me finish!” Xiran frowned at him.
“Fine. I was wrong. I’m sorry.” Kerry apologized sincerely.
