My Mysterious Husband novel Chapter 197

Seeing her happy, Kerry Ye rejoiced, "How about we go fishing in weekend?"

"Go fishing at sea?"

"Well, I bought a yacht a few years ago and consigned it at the dock. I haven't used it in a long time. Let's go check it out this weekend if the weather's nice."

"Sure." Venus agreed. Anyway, her main task now was to find the treasure map and deceived his feelings. After he fell deeply in love with her, she would take the treasure map and fly away with it, making him regret it.

After Kerry left for work, Venus wandered around downstairs a few times to see if someone was paying attention and then she went straight to the study room on the third floor.

However, the door was locked.

Venus was confused. It was so hard to get this opportunity but the door was locked.

No. She couldn't just give up.

Turning down the stairs, John the Butler was in the garden, pruning the side branches. He saw Venus coming, said hello to her and went on with his business.

He was still thinking about what Kerry said in the morning, was master really going to abandon Venus and the baby? Or did the young master get some news that Venus had an accident?

"John, why does the door of the study room lock?" She asked cautiously, "I want to go in and look for a book."

John the Butler recovered from his doubts. He put down his large scissors and said, "There was a burglar in the house two days ago so I locked the study door. Miss Chu, please wait a moment and I'll get the key for you."

Venus followed him over to the villa. She thought to herself that it was actually so easy to get the key?

After waiting for a moment at the head of the stairs, John the Butler brought over a key. "Miss Chu, this is the key of the study room. Just give it back to me when you're done with it."

"Thank you, John." Venus took the key and went upstairs. She took two steps up the stairs, stopped and turned back to ask John the Butler, "John, are you so reassured to give me the key?"

John the Butler smiled gently, "What's so reassuring about that? Master has told us that you can do whatever you want in the villa and we need to respect you as much as we respect him."

Her eyelids jumped a few times. Kerry was so nice to her?

Forget about it. She'd better do what needed to be done first.

Opening the door and entering the study, Venus followed Xuan Chu's words and really knocked out a different sound on the wall behind a pair of landscape paintings. She was so excited and began to turn over anything she could.

She picked up an antique celadon vase and rotated it a little bit. Nothing happened. She poured out all the pens in the padauk pen container, even tried every pencil, and they all worked.

Xuan said he checked the bottom shelf and there was no problem, so could there be a problem with the highest shelf?

Just like last time, Venus pulled her chair over and touched underneath each book she picked up to see if there was anything odd about it.

"The World History, what kind of book is he even reading," She muttered as she picked up the thick book and reached in with her hand to touch the shelf. What was this?

She cleared the tops of the shelves of books. Venus stood on tiptoe to see a pattern the size of a fingernail carved into the smooth bookshelf. If she hadn't had the purpose to look for it, she would have taken it for the most common pattern.

She tried to press it gently, and heard a clicking sound behind the landscape painting. Venus looked down and saw that a small wooden box was pushed out.

Venus immediately jumped down from the chair. She was shocked and wondered if the treasure map was in there.

Gosh, she had finally found it.

Venus took the little wooden box in her hands and looked at it from front to back but she didn't know how to open it. Because the little wooden box was a single piece and there was no lock at all. There was only what looked like a magnetic piece on the lid.

She shook the little wooden box and there was a noise so there was indeed something inside.

What could she do about this?

After thinking for a moment, Venus took out her phone and took a picture. She didn't dare to send it to Xuan rashly for fear that Kerry might see it beside Xuan, so she sent a few words first.

She sent was it convenient to talk?

After sending it out, Venus began to wait anxiously. She was really too excited. Once she was sure that this was the treasure map, she would be able to see her child and leave Kerry forever.

Kerry seemed to say, "Is there anything important? We can finish early."

"My friend has some personal matters to consult me. She's done asking." Xuan's face was calm, and he couldn't see any signs of trouble.

Kerry, however, had a shallow smile curved at the corner of his mouth.

After a busy day at work, Kerry returned home. Venus stayed in her room and drew pictures. It had been a long time since she had a drawing. And today she was in a good mood and she had a lot of ideas so she designed for three dresses.

Kerry asked John the Butler where was she. He didn't disturb her but went back to the study room first.

When he saw the subtle changes in the study room, Kerry smiled. Venus should never commit a crime in the future or she would definitely be the first to be caught.

First of all, the celadon vase had been moved three centimeters, and her fingerprints were all over the bottle. And the pen container, it was his habit to keep all the nibs facing down, but now, most of them were facing up, so it seemed that they were just put in there casually.

And this landscape painting hanging on the wall was all slanted. Didn't she know to straighten it when she left?

He shook his head in frustration. He reached out and pressed the mechanism and he found out that the small wooden box was still there.

Then, Kerry sat on the chair and turned on the computer, brought up several pinhole cameras installed in the study, and watched the whole process of Venus's entry into the study room.

It seemed that his guess today was not wrong. The person Xuan had frequently texted in the morning was Venus, and they should be discussing how to open this small wooden box.

He thought that why couldn't Venus just come and ask him? If she asked him, he would tell her and open it for her.

Ever since that night Xuan sneaked into the study, the next day Kerry had asked John the Butler to install a camera in the study room. He didn't expect that the camera would be used so soon.

During the evening meal, Venus kept staring at Kerry's hands. She silently wondered in her mind which finger he would use as a fingerprint lock. Chopping it off was out of the question. She thought that should she get him drunk one night? And then try one by one?

But she was a terrible drinker. He wasn't drunk yet and she already lay on the table drunk.
