Venus Mu was angry at Kerry’s words and punched him in the chest. “Is this your way of consoling others?” Venus said with tearful eyes.
“I’m telling the truth.” Kerry said helplessly.
After choking with sobs for a while, Venus wiped away her tears. She sank into a trance on the sofa for a long time. “I want to find our son three days later. I don’t want to wait any longer.” Venus said.
“OK. I will go to arrange for that.” Kerry said.
There was no news from Nighthawk and Kerry didn’t want to wait any longer. As the child’s father, how could Kerry bear to see his son be fooled by others like a monkey.
“Venus, I want to do something.” Kerry said.”
“What’s that?” Venus said depressedly.
Kerry hesitated for a long time before he spoke, “I’m going to put a GPS on you so I can know where you are all the time. It’s unreliable to put in on your phone or anywhere.”
Venus cheered herself a little up and said without hesitation, “OK, I agree with that. How to put that? Where to put that?”
“A little chip will be put in your arm, but it hurts a little.” Kerry said distressedly.
“I’m not afraid of pain. As long as I can get our son back, I can bear anything.” Venus said.
“I’ll take you there tomorrow.” Kerry said.
As they were about to part, Kerry couldn’t help but have sex with Venus for several times at night. Venus knew Kerry’s mood and tried her best cooperate with him. They didn’t fall asleep until late at night.
The next morning, Kerry drove Venus to a private club secluded in the suburb. The club looks very ordinary on the outside, but things are totally different inside. Various high-tech equipment make Venus dumbfounded.
The boss looks shrewd, but he also has an air of stubbornness and arrogance of engineering students.
The boss seems to know Kerry well. As soon as they came, the boss landed a blow on Kerry’s shoulder, saying, “You are as busy as a bee. Why are you free to come to my club today?”
“Your club is too high-end and professional. I’m an idiot when I am here. I’d rather go to make money.” Kerry said with a smile.
“Oh? Can’t I make money?” The boss said. Then the boss took a look at Venus and asked, “Are you bringing her here to open her vision or you want me to do something?”
“I want you to do something.” Kerry said, “Put a chip that can be located anywhere to her arm.”
The boss looked at Kerry in surprise and said, “GPS? Mr. Ye, you’re so low on confidence. Are you afraid that she will run away?”
“What are you thinking about? I have something serious to do.” Kerry said.
“OK. Leave it to me. But just as the saying goes, correct counting keeps good friendship. You have to pay me.” The boss said.
“How much does it cost?” Kerry asked.
The boss held out five fingers and Kerry said “ok” without hesitation.
“I like to make friends with rich people like you. You never bargain. Little sister, let’s go. It will hurt a little, but it will be over soon.” The boss said with a satisfied smile.
Venus nodded calmly. When she was about to follow the boss to leave, Kerry grabbed her by the arm. “I’m waiting for you here.” Kerry said.
“OK.” Venus said.
The wait was much harder than Kerry thought. Kerry was self-condemned. He is a man but his beloved woman would go to take risks alone. The confidence he had built up over the past three decades collapsed at that moment.
After suffering for more than an hour, the door opened. Kerry walked over at once. Venus’s face was white and her arm was as stiff as a log. The arm where the chip is put into was red and swollen. The blood had been cleaned.
“The girl is too tolerant of pain. She was as mum as a mouse even when it’s too hard to bear the pain. She is a one who can achieve great things.” The boss praised.
Venus smiled wryly. She is just a normal person. It’s only for her child that she became so strong.
Kerry’s heart almost broken when he saw Venus is so painful. “Is it very painful? Sit down and have a rest.” Kerry said.
“The wound should not touch the water for two days. After three days, the will be no marks and no pain will be felt.” The boss said. Then he turned to get something.
Venus leaned on Kerry’s shoulder feebly. Her lips became white out of pain.
Anesthetic was injected to her during the process of putting the chip into her arm, but as soon as the anesthetic didn’t work, pain swept through her body. It’s unbearable that a small thorn is pierced into any part of a person. Let alone a chip of the size of a fingernail.
It’s useless for Kerry to say anything at that moment. There was nothing he could do but hold her to give her strength, even though he wanted to take her place.
Sometimes Kerry even wondered if he could become Thumbelina. In this way, Venus could put him in her pocket and take him anywhere.
By the third day, Venus’s arm was intact, leaving only a slight scar. It can’t be found without careful examination.
Kerry made the difficult decision and said, “Call him.”
Venus bit her lower lip and hesitated for a moment, then dialed the number.
“I’m Venus.” Venus said.
“Miss Mu, I hope you bring me the result I want.” The man said. His voice’s mixed with the sound of waves.
Venus tried her best to be calm and said, “Yes, I got the treasure map.”
The man was obviously surprised. “Good, very good. I’ll send my private plane to pick you up right away.” The man said.
“No. Just tell me the address and I’ll go myself.” Venus said.
“Miss Mu, isn’t it comfortable to take my private plane?” The man said.
Venus sneered and said, “I don’t trust you. What if your men shoot me and take my treasure map away when I am on your plane? Then my loss outweighs my gain. After all, that’s what you did last time.”
The man burst into laughter. “Miss Mu, I find you are smarter.” The man said.
“Just as the saying goes, a fall into the pit, a gain in your wit. You taught me that.” Venus said.
“Since we don’t trust each other, well, let’s do what you said. You can take whatever kind of transportation you want, but I will tell you my location when you arrived at the destination.” The man said.
“OK. It’s a deal.” Venus said.
“My dear Miss Mu, I am looking forward to your coming. I’m sure your child will be very happy, too. And again, I warn you, don’t do anything that makes me unhappy. The baby’s skin is do delicate that I’m afraid I’ll cut off his throat if I’m not careful.” The man said.
“I promise you.” Venus said with hatred in her eyes.
