My Mysterious Husband

Chapter 237 Searching For Venus (2)

Xiran ignored Kerry. Tianye was looking at Xiran curiously. Obviously he wanted to know how did Xiranget to know that man working in the police station. So Xiran said: “Once I joined a team to explore thewilderness, and this man I mentioned was our leader. He is a super tough guy. I remember one nightwhen we were out in the wilderness, we met a wolf, and we were so scared but he fought the wolfbravely and the wolf finally ran away. We would be dead without him. Later I learned that he is workingin F province, and he is a criminal police officer.”

“Do you have his contact information?” Tianye asked.

“Sure. We are still in touch. A few days ago, me and my friends were still talking about our nextdestination to explore.”

Tianye felt very jealous when he heard Xiran praising that man. Xiran had never praised any manbefore, so obviously that police officer is truly an amazing person.

Tianye knew Xiran has no feelings for that police officer or Xiran would get together with that man,instead of him. And he knew there was no need to feel jealous, but he just couldn’t help.

Xiran is not a sensitive woman, and she didn’t notice that Tianye was feeling jealous. She said: “I’ll callhim later. But where are we going when we get off the plane?”

“We will meet Nighthawk first. Maybe he has some new developments.” Kerry said.

“I see.”

Kerry looked out the window. He was in low spirits. He knew there was no development, becauseNighthawk would tell him immediately if anything new happened.

Two hours later, they arrived at F city.

There were a few cars waiting for them at the airport. They attracted many people’s attention.Especially Kerry, Tianye and Xiran. People were staring at them because they thought these threepeople are some kind of celebrities.

Xiran called her friend immediately and told him what happened. She then hung up the phone and saidto Kerry and Tianye: “My friend agreed to help. He will call me when he has clues.”

“Great.” They said.

Surprisingly, only a few minutes later, Xiran got her friend’s call.

“Hello? Officer Bai, do you have any clues?” Xiran asked surprisingly.

“On 28th September, a middle-aged woman called us and told us a young woman and a baby went toher home and asked for help. That young woman said she and the baby were kidnapped here, and shefound an opportunity and escaped. But later that day, according to that middle-aged woman, that youngwoman and her baby were taken away by a group of people. We sent out some police and tried to findthem, but we can’t find them anywhere.” Officer Bai said.

“Did she tell you what’s the name of that young woman?”

“No. She didn’t mention that. But she mentioned something about the baby.”novelbin

“What is it?”

“She said the baby has very strange eyes. One of his eyes is blue, and the other is purple.”

“Really? That’s the baby we are looking for!” Xiran exclaimed. “Thank you very much. Can you give methat woman’s address? We need to ask her about something.”

“Sure. Do you need some police to protect you? That is not a safe place.” Officer Bai said.

Xiran looked at the two men sitting beside her and said: “That’s not necessary. I’m with my friends.Thank you.”

“Good. Be careful. Call me if you need help.”

“Thank you. I will.” Xi hung up the phone. Kerry heaved a deep sigh of relief. Finally, there was a clue.

Xiran got the address. And Kerry found Nighthawk was a hundred kilometers away from that place. Nowonder he didn’t find anything. He thought.

They didn’t need to take too many people to meet that middle-aged woman. So Kerry just asked threemen to follow them and he told the other people to meet Nighthawk.

It was afternoon when they finally arrived at that middle-aged woman’s place. But there was no one athome. So they waited. Kerry looked around the place, and found there are many mountains and it isbasically separated from the outside world. No wonder it is so hard to find a person at this place. Kerrythought.

Henry took out some water and bread from the car. They hadn’t time to eat anything since they arrivedat this place. But Kerry only drank some water. He was too worried to eat anything.

The sun was setting. And finally, a woman and a young boy appeared in their view. There was dirt ontheir shoes. Obviously, they were just working in the filed.

They seemed very happy. But when they saw the two cars at the front of their home, they became verynervous, and they stopped walking.

“Mom, who are these people?” The boy asked.

“I don’t know. Be quiet. Don’t talk.” The woman said. She looked at Xiran warily, who was walkingtowards them.

Xiran walked to the woman. She put on a disarming smile and said: “Hello. Please don’t be afraid. Weare here to ask you something.”

The woman grabbed the boy’s hand tightly and said: “What do you want to know? I don’t knowanything.”

“A few days ago, you called the police and you said a young woman and a baby were hiding in yourhome. Is that right? I am that woman’s sister. We are here to look for her.”

That woman was obviously very surprised. She put her guard down a little bit and she said: “Really?”

“Sure.” Xiran then showed her a picture and said: “Here. This is a picture of that baby.”

The woman looked at the picture and nodded. “Yes. This is the baby.”

Kerry then walked to the woman and said: “This baby is my son. That young woman is my wife.”

The woman looked at Kerry and said: “There is indeed a resemblance between you and the baby. Iremember that baby very well because I have never seen such a cute baby before.”

“We have been looking for them for a long time. Can you tell us what happened that day?” Kerry said.

The woman’s expression softened. She invited everybody into her home.

“My home is very shabby. Sorry about that. Take a seat. I’ll go wash my hands.”

But they were too worried to sit. They just stood there and waited. The woman washed her hands andcame back. She knew they were very worried, so she began telling the story immediately.

“It was a couple nights ago. I was patching my son’s school bag. And all of a sudden, I heard someonewas knocking the door.......”

The woman told them what happened in great details. She told them when that group of people cameto take Venus away, they slapped her very hard. And Kerry, Xiran, and Tianye felt furious when theylearned this.

“That young woman is very good looking. I know she is a good girl so I called the police the next dayand hope they can help her. But she was taken away by a group of people later that day. I’m sorry. Ididn’t protect her.”

Xiran grabbed her hands and said: “Please don’t say so. We need to thank you for what you did.”

Tears brimmed her eyes, and she felt very guilty for failing to hide her well. Xiran hugged her and said:“It’s not your fault. Please don’t feel bad.”

The woman is willing to take a strange woman in and protect her, and she still feels guilty for failing tohide her. So Xiran was very moved by the woman’s kindness.

“Don’t worry. We will save Venus!” Kerry said.

The woman wiped her tears and said: “Oh, right. Her name is Venus. I heard a man calling her by thatname.”

“Do you know that man’s name?”

The woman thought about it and said: “It is probably Heng Zhang. I can’t remember clearly.”

“Heng Zhang. I see.” Kerry’s eyes were looking murderous. He said angrily: “I should have killed himthe last time.”

“Do you know him?” Tianye asked.

“Sure. I know him very well......” Kerry said. He suddenly remembered he once treated Heng verybadly, and he was afraid that Heng would vent his anger on Venus and the baby.
