It wouldn't be a surprise if Mohammed Akram found about Mu Lan's real identity if he searched for her before Mu Liang even knew her. It might be the reason why he laid the trap for them.
Mohammed Akram always thought of making money. Nothing seemed to interest him. He was interest in Mu Lan's womanly charm, Mu Liang didn't believe it.
According to Mohammed Akram's desire, he must be after Mu Lan's talent.
However, there shouldn't be any clue of Mu Lan was Red. Then, Mohammed Akram knew all along that she was Professor Ryuren's daughter.
Mu Liang shook his head. 'It still doesn't make sense.'
Then, why would The Cobra tell her not to get close to him?
Could it be….?
Mu Liang's eyes lightened up. "I think when Xiao Lan was still in The Cobra, she accidentally met Mohammed Akram. He probably saw her power and that's why he wanted her. He must have recognized her the moment he saw her."
Mu Feng was stunned and speechless at the same time. "Big brother, you are a true genius!" His mouth was full of praise.
Mu Liang didn't feel slightest better. His expression was solemn. "Too bad that Mohammed Akram doesn't want me but wants her. If that was the case, I wouldn't have to worry about her safety."
Mu Feng sighed. He dejectedly said, "I do want to promise you that I will protect her, but unfortunately I'm no match to her."
Mu Liang couldn't find a word to comfort his younger brother. He changed the topic, "When will you come back?"
"I'm going to catch the plane. Give me a few more hours. I will be there in no time." Mu Feng said.
-------
It wasn't even evening. Mu Liang cooked for both of them and headed to the bedroom.
Mu Lan was tired and deep in sleep.
Mu Liang didn't wake her up. He sat beside her and checked her laptop.
Mu Lan was looking for her father. There were so many documents saved in her laptop. He read Mohammed Akram's comment.
Looking at the date when he wrote that comment, Mu Liang laughed silently. 'Did you think we will fall for your trap?'
The comment was written a week ago.
'It seems that Mohammed Akram knows Xiao Lan's identity and wants her to go there. Too bad that I got your tricks. I will breach the contract between your oil company and Mu Corporation. When it comes to her safety nothing in more important. I'm ready to compensate you billions of dollars if I have to.' Mu Liang's eyes flickered.
His trail of thoughts broke when Mu Liang's cell phone rang. He quickly answered the call so that Mu Lan couldn't wake up.
"What is it?" Mu Liang asked.
Assistant Ju Long politely replied, "Boss, Mohammed Alif from Saudi Arabia called a few minutes ago. He personally invited you and second young master to Riyadh. They are holding a meeting and a business party for the new contract in two weeks. I told him that I will notify him in a week."
Mu Liang frowned. 'They couldn't wait to invite us over.' He immediately wanted to say 'no', but held back.
He replied calmly, "I will let you know later."
Assistant Ju Long said, "Okay, boss." He hung up.
Mu Lan stirred up and stretched her hands. She blinked at Mu Liang.
Mu Liang looked down at her and stroked her head. "Do you want to get up?"
Mu Lan nodded and rubbed her eyes. She yawned.
"Are you hungry?" Mu Liang smiled at her cuteness.
"Did you cook?" Mu Lan asked him back.
"Yes. You can eat as much as you want." Mu Liang dotingly said.
Mu Lan slowly got up and hugged Mu Liang. "Carry me."
Her cuteness made Mu Liang's heart fly in the sky and swim in the ocean. He took her in his arms and carried her to the downstairs. After going to the kitchen, Mu Liang helped her to sit on the chair and served the food.
"Do you want me to feed you?" He asked.
Mu Lan smiled at him and suggested, "How about I feed you and I return you feed me?"
Mu Liang nodded. "Sounds like a good plan."
In the evening, they fed each other and afterwards, they went to the living room and watched an action movie. Mu Lan was over excited and almost knocked the glass table in front of her and Mu Liang did some paper works.
Knock! Knock!
The wooden door was knocked by someone. Someone had to cross the lake and came here.
"Who could it be?" Mu Lan asked.
"Let me see." Mu Liang got up from the sofa and went to the entrance. He opened the door and someone leaped over to him.
Mu Liang moved away and the person fell on the floor.
"I only wanted to hug you, big brother. How cruel you are!" Mu Feng complained.
Mu Liang's expression darkened. "Why are you here?"
This place only belonged to Mu Lan and Mu Liang. Others weren't allowed.
"Don't say it like that. It breaks my heart. I came here as soon as I got a call from Long." Mu Feng talked about Assistant Ju Long. They talked about the invitation.
He looked around the house and whistled. It was his first time being here. Mu Liang never let him enter here before.
"Big brother, this is a dream house!" Mu Feng was praising Mu Liang's architectural talent. 'No wonder sister Lan Lan didn't want to stay in Italy.'
Mu Liang's face was still dark. He felt like his house turned unholy the moment Mu Feng knocked the door.
Mu Feng flied as he saw Mu Lan. "Sister Lan Lan! Did you miss me?"
Mu Lan didn't move her eyes from the screen and said, "Brother Feng, join us." She shoved her popcorns towards him.
Mu Feng was speechless. He was hurt that Mu Lan didn't even look at him. He silently took a palm-ful popcorns and ate them slowly.
