Chapter 169 The Secret Man in Black (2)
Changrui Mu didn’t know where he had misspoken, so he stood up from his chair and said with caution,“Mr. Ye, are you…”
Kerry Ye snorted and looked at him with disdain, “Changrui, do you think that because I have apersonal grudge against Tianye Mu that I will help you take over the company? You underestimate me.Changrui, I, Kerry, hate people so much like you who are ungrateful and greedy. If you want Mu family’sproperty, then go get it by yourself. I won’t help you. Get lost, I don’t want to see you anymore.”
After being stunned for a few seconds, a treacherous smile appeared on his face, “Kerry, don’t regret.Though you rejected me, there are still a lot of people who want to work with me. I don’t believe that noone will be interest in such profits.”
“Then have a try.”
“Fine, we’ll see.” Changrui turned around in a huff and walked away.
Staring at the closed door, Kerry thought to himself that if Venus was in a better mood, he could giveMu family’s company to her, but now, how could she care about the money when she could even giveup her child?
Just let Changrui go. Anyway, he could get the company back whenever he wanted.
Ye family’s villa
Dr. Yan’s consultation didn’t go well, for Venus held a very negative attitude towards any question sheasked. Venus might be the most tough patient that Dr. Yan had encountered, for she refused to recoverfrom her bottom of her heart. She wanted death instead of nothing else.
The patients she had met were all longing for rebirth, but Venus was different.
No matter how good Dr. Yan’s medical skills were, she couldn’t heal a person whose heart was dead.
“Doctor Yan, how is our young lady?” John asked with worry.
Dr. Yan looked up at the balcony on the second floor and said regretfully, “John, tell Mr. Ye that there’snothing I can do. Let him find another person.”
“This, Dr. Yan…” John didn’t expect Venus’s condition to be so serious, “Dr. Yan, what else can youdo? “
She shook her head, “I’m sorry, maybe I’m not good enough. I tried my best. I’m sorry, goodbye.”
John sent her off, sighing inwardly. What else could he do?
In the evening, Kerry kept silent for a quite long time after hearing John’ s words when he returnedhome.
Did he have to let her go? At least she and the baby would keep living.
Late at night, the new maid was sleeping soundly on the sofa, but Venus couldn’t fall asleep with hereyes open.
She couldn’t remember how many nights she hadn’t fallen asleep. She wanted to be like the maid,falling asleep as soon as she touched her pillow, without thinking anything, but she couldn’t. As soon asshe closed her eyes, she would recall the images of her parents’ death and her brother falling off a cliff,and even Xinyou Qiao, and the unbearable past. These things were like movies, flashing through hermind…
She tried to ward them off, but she couldn’t, so she kept her eyes open. Didn’t pregnant women need alot of sleep? why was it so hard for her to fall asleep?
If she could, she’d love to take a sleeping pill.
Outside, the wind whistled.
When Venus rolled over and was about to close her eyes to sleep, a shadow suddenly appeared on thebalcony.
She was too shocked to see this, maybe it was because of Xiaozi. One more thing, she subconsciouslyfelt that this person may be Kerry. Because he enjoyed flashing when he was pretending to be Xiaozi.
The man in black carefully observed the surroundings and walked into the room.
No, this wasn’t Kerry, for he wouldn’t be so careful if he came in.
Not knowing what he was up to, Venus squinted her eyes and pretended to sleep.
The man walked to the maid and plugged a handkerchief on her nose, and soon, the maid was snoringeven louder. Then, from her squinting eyes,Venus saw the man in black walking towards her step bystep.
“Who are you? What do you want?” Venus opened her eyes and looked at him.
The man was clearly shocked by her calmness, and after a few seconds, he asked her in a huskyvoice, “Aren’t you afraid?” An ordinary person would have already yelled and screamed, and he wasready to cover her mouth and negotiate with her.
Venus sat up, pulling the blanket up to her neck, and said calmly, “Is there any need to be afraid of?I’ve been thinking about how to die lately and if you can help me, I will be grateful.”
The man said in a deep voice, “I’m not here to kill you. I’m here to take you away.”
Venus raised her eyebrows and couldn’t help but laugh, “Take me away? I don’t even know who youare. Why should I go with you?”
“It doesn’t matter who I am. It’s my boss’s commission.”
“Who’s your boss?”
The man paused for a few seconds and said, “Tianye.”
There was some hope reappearing in her eyes, “My brother?”
“Yes, although something happened to him, he gave us a task that we must complete.” The man said ina very serious way.
Venus’s eyes were a little sore. Her only brother in the world who was good to her was killed by Kerryjust like that.
“Miss Mu, please come with me. I will take you out of here.” The man began to lose his patience.
Venus lifted the blanket to get out of the bed and suddenly stopped.
Why was she so stupid? How could she so easily believe him? What if it’s not?
“Did my brother really ask you to take me out?” Venus’s legs went back into the blanket.
“Sure.” The man then looked outside the balcony. He was not coming alone and there was someoneoutside waiting for him. If he couldn’t take Venus out, Ye family’s bodyguards will notice them, “MissMu, please believe me. I won’t lie to you.”
“Then answer me, do you know what happened to my brother?” Venus tried to see the look in his eyesas a way to find out if he was lying or not, but the light was too dim for her to see anything.
“It’s not something we should know about. We get a mission and what we do is to complete it. As forthe boss, we can’t ask more about him.”novelbin
Venus became more and more suspicious inside. How could they not know how her brother had died?
“Go away, I need to think about it.” Venus said indifferently.
The man in black frowned, “Miss Mu, what else do you need to think about?”
“Consider whether you’re telling the truth or not. Go away, I’m not going to go with you tonight.”
“You…” He was going to say something else, but there were some dogs barking in the distance, so hecouldn’t stay longer. Seeing that Venus was determined, he had to say, “Okay, I’ll come back. I hopeyou’ll change your mind by then.”
“Wait, what have you done to her?” Venus was talking about the maid. She was willing to die, but thatdidn’t mean she wanted to see innocent people die.
The man in black didn’t stop, “She will sleep a little longer and she will ake up in the morning.” Then theman disappeared from the balcony.
In the distance, the barking became more intense, mixed with the sound of hurried footsteps.
Venus lay down, thinking about his words, which were mixed with lies. But there was still somethingshe could believe—who else wanted to take her away except her brother?
When the bedroom door was pushed open, Venus heard familiar footsteps and quickly closed hereyes.
Kerry, wearing a dark blue robe, strode in. Seeing that Venus was sleeping peacefully on the bed, herelived.
She’s still there, she’s still there.
The bodyguards reported that someone had broken into the villa. His first reaction was to see if Venuswas alright, and now seeing she was still here, he stopped worrying.
Walking forward, Kerry gently touched her face, warm.
Leaning down to kiss her forehead, Kerry then left the room.
As soon as the door closed, Venus opened her eyes, full of disgust. She wiped her forehead, as if toremove all traces of him.
