My Mysterious Husband

"What?" Xiran Xiao stood up suddenly from her chair. She braced her hand on the table, surprised. "Who kidnapped her? Why? What do they want?"

Kerry shook his head, "I don't know who they are.."

She was so angry that she was about to break her glass. "There has to be a purpose for kidnapping her. How much do they want?"

"If they want money, I'll give it to them, even if it costs me everything I have." Kerry laughed bitterly.

"It's a long story." said he.

Xiran directly interrupted him, "I'm not leaving here until you tell me what's going on."

Kerry was startled. This fiery woman was quite concerned about Venus, but he hesitated whether he should tell her that Yan was Venus or not.

"A few decades ago, my parents got a copy of the treasure map. These people got the news from somewhere and kidnapped Yan, asking me to exchange the map for Yan. I gave them the map, but they didn't keep their promise and took away Yan." Kerry said.

Xiran, such an educated person, couldn't help but curse, "They are so brazen. You're too stupid. You gave them the treasure map, but you didn't save Yan."

"They had a dozen guns pointed at me. If I dare to move, Yan and myself would be dead on the spot. How did I save her?" Kerry's voice was hoarse at the end. His eyes were red. No one knew how much pain he was in.

Xiran stared at Kerry for a few seconds, and then sat back in her chair.

The two of them were silent for a long time before Xiran continued, "What did the kidnapper look like?"

"He was wearing a silver mask. I couldn't see his face." Kerry's mood calmed down.

"Dou you know where they are now?"

“I guess they are in the mountains of southern Fujian province. The treasure may be buried in one of the caves." Kerry said. He was not going to tell her all the truth, for he wasn't very familiar with Xiran.

had figured it out, but she didn't expect him to say something like that. She stood up from her chair again with a serious face, "You don't need to thank me, I'm all for Yan. But Kerry, sooner or later, you'll get Yan killed like this. I can't stay with people like you any longer, goodbye."
