Chapter 223 Who Put Daisies on My Parents'' Graves?(3)


    Kerry''s breathing stopped sharply and his eyes widened. He watched the child struggle and plop in the


    water. After a few seconds, the hands grabbed the child by one of his legs and pulled him out of the


    water, patting him on the back a few times. The child spat out a few mouthfuls of water and cried out.


    The sound of the crying entered Kerry’s ears through the phone and tore at his heart. His eyes turned


    completely red and he gripped the phone tightly. He wanted to chop the owner of those hands into


    pieces.


    Then a man''s voice came out, "Mrs. Mu, this is just a little punishment for you. You still have a month,


    but my patience is limited."


    "Bastard! Bastard!" Kerry was furious and almost mmed the phone in her hand.

    Venus'' tears flowed freely and her heart ached.


    "Give him the treasure map, please. I don''t know how this pervert will torture my child," Venus begged


    him in tears.


    Kerry was furious. His temples were throbbing. He wanted to shout and to vent his anger, but now he


    needed to calm down. He rushed into the restroom and washed his face with cold water.


    The pain he felt was no less than Venus''s when he saw his child in the water begging for his life


    Letting out a heavy breath, Kerry walked out of the room, took out a tissue and wiped Venus’s tears.


    Then he hugged her and said quietly, “ I''ll give the treasure map to him."


    Venus was startled and looked at Kerry, whose eyes were also red.


    He nodded and said firmly, "I mean it. I''ll give it to him. But I''ll ask him to let you deliver the treasure


    map to him personally. You will give it to him after you see the child."


    "When?"


    Kerry said, "Half a monthter. If you can''t bring the baby back, I have at least half a month to figure


    out how to find the man with silver mask. As long as I know where he lives, I will save the child even if it


    costs me my life."


    Even if his secret was exposed, he didn''t care in the slightest.


    After Venus heard his words, tears fell again and she choked out, "Kerry, thank you."


    Kerry touched her head, "Why did you thank me? He''s my child, too."


    Venus leaned into his arms and grew calm.


    ……..


    The temperature was still high in September.


    Tianye Mu brought Xiran Xiao to the cemetery. He was stunned when he saw the two bunches of dried


    flowers and partially dried offerings in front of his parents'' tombstones.


    "It looks like someone hase to visit them," Xiran said.


    Tianye bent his knees and squatted down to examine the two bouquets of flowers, surprised.


    "What''s wrong with them?" Xiran squatted down and asked, confused.


    "Look at these two bouquets of flowers, can you tell who has been here?" she asked, then continued,


    "This one is carnations, and this one seems to be daisies."


    “Are they really daisies?" Tiaye asked.


    Xiran pinched off a dried flower and sniffed it and said, "They are daisies. Chrysanthemum petals are


    curled and long, but daisy petals are straight and short."


    "Daisies?" Tianye was talking to himself, and the expression on his face was a bit odd.


    Xiran turned her head to look at him and asked, puzzled, "What''s the story of the daisies?"


    Tianye''s eyes fell on a photo of his mother, "Daisies were my mother''s favorite flower. When she was


    alive, she nted many of these flowers in the garden."


    “But who put daisies on my parents'' graves?” Tianye was puzzled.


    "Maybe your rtives used daisies to visit your parents." said Xiran.


    Tianye shook his head, "No. When my parents were still alive, they would stille to my family and


    ask my parents to help them, but after my parents passed away, they started to hate my sister and me.


    They won''te to visit my parents."


    Xiran listened to him talk about his family matters, but she could not interrupt and silently stayed by his


    side.


    His mother in the photo was so beautiful, and But she didn''t look as serious as Tiany described. Rather,


    she looked like ady from high society, with a kind of gentleness and elegance.


    "It happened to be the anniversary of my parents’ death some time ago. Could it be that Venus came to


    visit them?" Tianye said.


    Besides Venus, he couldn''t think of anyone else who could visit his parents.


    Xiran gazed at him, "Didn''t Venus disappear? Why is she here?"


    "Maybe she''s living somewhere like me, and I just haven''t found her." At this point Tianye paused, and


    then denied his thoughts, "That''s not true either. If she is alive, she has to live a life. But she hasn''t


    used a penny of the money in her ount."


    Xiran patted his shoulder, "Don''t think about that now. We came here today to pay respects to your


    parents. We''ll think about this afterwards."


    Then Tianye''s knelt in front of his mother''s tombstone. "Mom, I''vee to see you. This one next to


    me is Xiran Xiao. She is my girlfriend."


    Xiran knelt next to him. “Hello, Mrs. Mu.” she said.


    Tianye''s tone was very low, "Mom, I''m sorry. You and father asked me to take good care of Venus but I


    didn''t. Now I don’t know where she is. If your spirits in heaven know where she is, please bless her."


    After Tianye finished this, he stared at his mother''s picture, and tears couldn''t help but fall.


    Xiran, who was beside him, saw his tears and held his hand.


    More than two years ago, he and his parents were sitting happily together at dinner, and now, his family


    was broken and his sister was nowhere to be found.


    After stopping at the cemetery for half an hour, Tianye and Xiran headed back to the cemetery''s office.


    Suddenly he saw the surveince camera in the driveway.


    "You want to see the surveince? What date do you want to see the monitoring records?" The middle-


    aged woman asked impatiently.


    "Around July 15." Tianye said. It was the anniversary of his parents'' death.


    The middle-aged woman pouted her thick lips and looked up the records on theputer, "You can


    only see the entrance surveince on July 15th. We only keep one month''s garden surveince."


    "Then please let me see the entrance surveince." Tianye was depressed and said.


    The middle-aged woman had a look at him. "Sir, we have a rule here that you can''t check the


    surveince without a document from the Public Security Bureau. If everyone were like you and came


    to check the surveince every day, I would have to be so busy."


    Tianye took out his wallet and put all the cash in it in her hand, "I really have something very important.


    Please help me."


    The middle-aged woman''s eyes showed joy. She felt the thickness of the money, which should be


    enough to cover her two months'' sry. She quickly stuffed the money into her bag and muttered,


    "You’re in a hurry, so I broke the rules and showed it to you. You''re not allowed to tell anyone about


    this."


    Tianye smiled, "Don''t worry. I won''t tell anyone."


    The woman searched in theputer for a while, and then she found a July 15 folder, and then clicked


    on it. There was indeed a section of surveince, which was the entrance.


    "Take your time watching this. I''m going to get a drink of water." She took the ss and left the chair.


    The surveince showed the early morning. The screen was dark. Tianye dragged the mouse directly


    and then the time was six o''clock. It was dawn, and there was a straight road with verdant pines and


    cypresses nted on both sides.


    Tianye didn''t have the patience to look at it one second at a time. He clicked the mouse and fast-


    forwarded. Around 6:50, a car came in. It was a very ordinary Volkswagen. The surveince camera


    was a high-definition camera, and it could be seen that the driver was a fat middle-aged man wearing a


    pair of sses.


    Xiran took a look at a middle-aged woman sitting in a chair by the window ying with her phone, and


    said to her, "Do you usually live here?"


    "I don''t live here," the woman said in disgust. "It''s so creepy here."


    "Please help us see if he is one of yourpany''s men."


    The woman didn''t move and asked her, "What does he look like?"


    "He is fat, wears sses, probably in his forties." Xiran simply described.


    "He''s our director."


    Tianye clicked the mouse again. A bicyclist and an electric bike rider appeared on the monitor.


    Inadvertently, a ck Cayenne drove past in the camera. Because Tianye was looking it quickly, he


    only saw half of the body of the Cayenne when it appeared. But Tianye still saw the luxurious car at


    once, and he rewound the surveince video.


    At 7:32, the ck Cayenne drove in. He was even more puzzled when he saw the license te and the


    person driving the car on it.


    Xiran saw his expression was strange and asked, "Do you know this car?"


    "Yes." Tianye said with difficulty.


    "Whose car is it?" asked Xiran.


    Tianye looked up at her, "It’s Kerry''s and the driver is his assistant, Henry."


    Xiran was also surprised. She looked down carefully at the surveince camera and seemed to see


    something strange, pointing at the picture and saying, "Look at the passenger side."


    Tianye followed her finger and saw two bouquets of flowers on the passenger seat, the bottom one


    could not be seen, and the top were daisies.


    He was stunned. “Did Kerrye to put daisies on my parents'' graves? How is this possible?” he


    thought.
