Meixu brought Doctor Jia because of Xin's request . Xin thought that if Qi Ying were to get sick, Jia could treat her . Now, she was handy as Xin needed her to treat little Lan .
Xin unlocked the door and tried to open it . However, the door didn't budge . Immediately, he understood that little Lan locked the door from inside so that he couldn't go in .
'It must be because I kissed her and made her afraid . ' He thought .
He smiled, thinking that she locked her in his own room . She was willful as ever .
"Little Lan, are you alright? I brought back a female doctor with me . Don't you think that you need a checkup if you are in pain?" Xin's voice was gentle .
Doctor Jia looked at Xin as if she was watching a ghost .
Xin had a stern face and made others think that he was intimidating . He dealt with everything in a cold manner . His methods were cruel and he was harsh to his subordinates . Even though, he cared for them . That made him very popular within his group .
However, it was a well-known fact that Xin hated women . Especially those sultry ones . He never talked to women if they weren't his subordinates, even so, he treated them the same as he treated his male subordinates . Which meant, those who were under him had tasted his ruthlessness .
Doctor Jia had been working under Meixu for three years . Even she had to taste Xin's rudeness . But just like other girls, she fell in love with his harshness . She never minded his attitude . Moreover, she liked it .
However, hearing his kind voice to this 'Little Lan', Doctor Jia found out a new secret about Major General Ru . She became really curious about this little kid .
Xin politely knocked and asked about Little Lan's well being . But it seemed that Little Lan was upset about what happened between them .
Xin told Doctor Jia to head back . After she left, Xin went to the east tower with his binoculars . He went to the third floor and put the binoculars in front of his eyes .
Xin could clearly see Mu Lan . The light was turned on and she was in the balcony sitting on the floor . She was upset as she looked at the dark ocean . It looked like, she was waiting for someone to come and rescue her .
Xin felt like something pierced his heart . It was hard for him to breathe .
'Why does she look like that? Is she already committed to someone? Does that mean she forgot me?'
Xin clenched his fists and climbed down from the tower .
------
The night was dark . Mu Lan looked at the sky . It was cloudy, just like the night she was abducted . The moon was playing hide and seek with the ocean behind the clouds .
'If he put me in the luggage, does it mean that he took me to another place? I saw the ocean that time too . It is certainly not Qi Ying's family mansion . ' Thinking that Mu Lan shook her head .
'Though it was dark, I can tell the differences between the walls . That house was made of cement, but this one is made of stones . It is more like a castle or a fort . Just like the ancient time . I have never heard of any fort in the European Islands . ' Mu Lan bit her lower lip . Her eyes became heavier .
'Maybe it is my lack of knowledge, but, where am I? I need to find out about this place . The more I'll know, the more it will be easy to leave . I can do it . I can do it . . . … . '
Mu Lan kept repeating herself and soon fell asleep on the floor of the balcony .
