Chapter 238 Saving Venus (1)

Tianye shot an angry glance at him. It was all Kerry's fault that his poor sister Venus and his nephew
were kidnapped.

"Madam, did they say where they were going?" Xiran continued to ask.

"No, they didn't."

Kerry came up to the front of Henry and whispered some words to him. Henry nodded to him and went
out.

As they had known all they should know and there was no more useful message, they were going to
leave.

It was getting dark. They had to find a hotel to stay. Kerry asked the madam, "Is there any big hotel
nearby?"

"There is no hotel nearby, as it is quite remote here. If you want to find a hotel to stay, you can drive to
the town ahead. It will spend about an hour."

"Thank you and sorry to have bothered you. Goodbye." Kerry turned his step to the outside and was
then stopped the madam.

"Sir, you and your companions must save that girl out, otherwise I will feel guilty in my whole life." the
madam said apologetically.

Kerry seldom showed kind face to any women except Venus. However, he smiled to this simple
peasant woman at this moment, "Madam, don’t worry. I will save Venus out, and after I save her out, I
will take her to come to visit you."



The madam hastily waved her hand, "No, no, no, you needn't to visit me. You needn't have to
dedicatedly come to this remote place. What I only hope is that girl will be safe, and that's enough."

"Yes, she will."

The madam sent Terry and his companions out the yard and watched their cars leaving. She sighed
and turned her step back to the house when her son shouted loudly in the kitchen, "Come here,
mother. Hurry up."

The madam was startled and hurried to the kitchen, " What happened?"

"Look."

Along where her son pointed, she saw three neat piles of cash placed on the kitchen table. Each pile
contained 10,000 RMB, a total of 30,000 RMB. It was almost equivalent to the revenue of their family
for one year.

The madam was really simple and pure, so she wanted to gave the money back to Kerry and his
companions. However, this was obviously impossible.

As it was deep autumn in the mountain in October, the air was cool everywhere. Fearing that Xiran
would feel cold, Tianye wrapped her with his coat, which was accepted by Xiran joyfully.

This scene was noticed by Kerry on the passenger seat. He gave them a scornful glance and thought.
This woman is as strong as a man. She must not need Tianye's coat. However, if he is put in Tianye's
position, he will probably wrap Venus with thicker clothes if she is beside him.

It was all dark when the car arrived at the town and they found the only hotel in the town.

Since it was the second day of the National Day, there were few empty rooms in the hotel. After all the
rooms booked, they still needed one room, and the price was extraordinarily high. A simple standard



room in the hotel was as expensive as the standard room in a five-star hotel.

In that case, Henry was going to stay a night in the car. Then he heard Kerry saying, "I can share a
room with you, Henry."

Henry felt flattered as he knew that Kerry never shared room with others in his previous trips.

"ID Cards, please." The host reached out his hand with a smile.

"Of all?" Henry asked.

The host nodded and explained, "Since it is during the National Day, all people need to be registered."

Then a pile of ID Cards was handed to the host for registration. When the host saw the ID Card of
Kerry, he couldn't help to read out his name softly, "Kerry Ye?"

Kerry was sensitive to voice and heard his name. He turned his sight to the host and asked, "Anything
wrong?"

The host was stunned by his eyes and quickly said, "Nothing, I just feel a little familiar with this name."
At that same time, the tissue reading the name and phone number of Kerry was quietly lying in the
trash can.

"Is there any good restaurant in your town, host?" Henry asked. He acted as a butler in this trip to
arrange the accommodation of the group of persons.

The host answered while making registration, "You can walk along this road to the north for about 500
meters and can find a delicious local restaurant."

"Thank you."



With all things arranged, they were going out to have meals. When Tianye passed by the checkout
counter and saw the thick register, a thought came out of his mind and he stopped his step.

Xiran followed him and also stopped. Kerry and Henry just went out of the hotel. After finding this, they
also turned back to the hotel.

The host was just watching a hit TV series on the computer. Then, from the corner of his eye, he saw
someone was staring at him. He turned to look at the group of persons just registered.

"What's the matter?" he asked.

"Will anyone staying at your hotel be registered?" Tianye asked impassively.

"Not exactly, only during holiday will everyone be registered. So what's wrong?" the host felt a little
nervous for some unknown reason.

"Did someone named Heng Zhang ever come to your hotel?"

As soon as hearing the question, all the other persons understood what Tianye meant.

They were certain that Venus was kidnapped by Heng Zhang and the members of his gang. However,
it was also possible that they used fake identity information as the face mask they made could even
look like the real face, not to say a few ID Cards.

Even so, Tianye still didn't want to miss any key messages.

"Wait a moment. I'll look it up." The host opened the register, turned a few pages and said, "No one's
name is Heng Zhang. This place is remote. People seldom come here in the usual time. Only during
holidays will some citizens like you come."



Tianye was a little disappointed. He couldn't help asking more, "Then did you see any group of
persons, among whom there was one person wearing a silver mask and a 20-year-old girl holding a a-
half-year-old baby?"

As soon as hearing what he said, the host was shocked. That group of persons had left a deep
impression on him. He nodded, "Yes, I did."

"Really?" Not only Tianye, the other companions also became excited at once. They asked, "Are you
sure?"

The host was scared by their excitement. He flinched back and asked, "Of course, they stayed here for
a night several days ago. But why do you ask this?"

"We are families of that girl and we are looking for her." Tian said vaguely.

Suddenly, the host remembered that tissue for help and where he had seen Kerry's name. He turned to
look at Kerry and said, "Ah, you are Kerry Ye?"

"Yes, I am."

"No wonder I was thinking this name familiar, I remember it now. When the girl was leaving, she gave
me a tissue and asked me to call police for her. And your name and phone number were on the tissue."

Kerry was unbelievably shocked. He stared at the host straightly and asked, "Why didn't you call me?"

"I called you," the host explained, "And you answered the call, but the signal disappeared before I
could even speak a complete sentence.”

"How could it be possible? Why didn't I know?" Kerry said and took out his phone, "Which day?"



The host looked up the register and said, "It was on September 29th. They checked out in that
morning."

Kerry found the call records of that day and there was indeed a call from f Province in the morning of
the day. In his memories, he just sent Zhenyun Chu away at that time. Then a phone call came in and
was quickly hung up before I could hear the words clearly. He thought it was a fraud call and didn't call
back."

It turned to...it was a call for help from Venus.

Annoyance, regret...all of these emotions came to his mind for one time. Kerry was too guilty to say
anything.

Xiran glanced over at him and asked the host, "Did you call him again later?"

The host was embarrassed and whispered, "I was interrupted by some other thing and then I just forgot
it."

"You!" Tianye almost wanted to give him a punch.

At the moment, none of the three persons had mood to eat. Xiran said to Henry, "You can take the
other persons to eat and packed some food for us."

Henry looked at Kerry for his idea, who certainly did not object. What was full of his mind at the
moment was all that call.

Tianye took out a pile of cash from his wallet and threw it on the counter. He curled his finger to the
host and said, "Come on, let’s find a room to talk more details of this thing."



The host was scared by them and didn't dare to receive his money. He meekly push the cash to Tianye
and said, "You can ask me any question and needn't give me money."

"Don't lie to us!" Tianye threatened to him.

The host immediately straightened his back and swore, "Of course not, I'm an honest businessman. I
will not lie to you. What’s more, I have nothing to do with that group of persons. Why should I help
them?"

"That would be best. Let's go."

"But this money..." The host pointed to the cash on the counter hesitantly.

"It’s for tomorrow's breakfast. Remember to prepare enough food."

Hearing this reason, the host was assured to receive the money and said, "My office is next to us. Let's
talk inside."

Kerry looked better after all four persons sat down, although no one knew how sad he was at the
moment.

"That group of persons checked in at our hotel in the evening of 28th..."

After the host told them what he knew, there was long time of depressing silence. They almost guessed
what happened that night.

Venus had escaped with her baby on her hand, and on the way of escaping, they hid in the house of
the madam whom Kerry and his companions visited a few hours ago. Unexpectedly, Venus was caught
by Heng Zhang and his gang members again later. But from what they heard from the host, a person
wearing a mask was not crude to Venus. At least he didn't make her feel hard.



"Do you know the name of that masked man?" Kerry asked.

"No, he seldom spoke. All the talks and communications were done by the person who was called
Heng Zhang."

"How many persons of them in total?" Tianye asked.

The host counted with his fingers and said, "Including your friend, they have 10 adults and a baby."

"Where did they go the next day?"

"They went into the mountain."

Unsurprisingly they went into the mountain, as their purpose coming here was to find the treasure in
the mountain.

"Host, is there any legend in this place, like where there is some treasure in the mountain?"

The host laughed out, "Miss, if any there is a treasure in the mountain, do you think it will remain to
today? It would have been dug out long before."

Kerry stayed silent for a while and said, "Can you find a guide for us? We will go into the mountain
tomorrow.
