Chapter 197 Forever with the one he loves (1)

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.



Two minutes later, Xuan sent a message.

He said he was convenient and what was wrong?

Venus immediately sent over the photo she just took, and attached a line: found the mechanism. Inside
there was this small box but there was no lock.

Kerry and Xuan were inspecting the construction site. After receiving her message, Xuan walked away
from Kerry for a few meters. He carefully looked at the photo of the small wooden box, thought for a
moment and sent the message that this should be a fingerprint lock so it could not be opened without
the fingerprint.

Venus was speechless. Fingerprint lock meant the she needed Kerry’s fingerprints. It was too hard.

She jolted the wooden box in her hand, and Venus continued to text and asked if she could use a saw
to open it.

Xuan's mouth twitched when he saw those words. And he thought that this woman was too violent.

He replied that a cleverly designed box would pre-empt these external injuries. In case there was
mercury or some other chemical in the sandwich, you would only destroy the thing faster.

Venus slumped in chair with a lament. She wanted to break the little wooden box. It felt like a man in
the water who saw a life preserver, but he couldn't get hold of it.

Kerry saw the complicated expression on Xuan's face with his remaining light. He seemed to have
discovered some secret and smiled wryly.

What should we do then? Venus continued to send messages.



He replied that we should not do anything rash yet and wait for me to consult an authority on the
subject and see if there was a way to lock it without fingerprints.

That was the only way.

Venus saw the small wooden box again and again. She also put her thumb on the magnetic film, only
to hear the two soft sounds of "drip". But the little wooden box didn't open.

She put it back in place. Venus pressed the button and the small wooden box was once again hidden
behind the landscape painting. The wall looked intact with not even a crack in it.

Although she was a little disappointed, finding the mechanism and the small wooden box today was
already a major discovery. It was worth congratulating.

Thinking that, Venus felt much better. The worst-case scenario was to just give them the little wooden
box in the end and let them find a way to open it.

On the construction site.

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.
