Pedro and Carlo were on alert . The three of them stayed silent . They waited for something to happen or waited to hear something .
After a while, three of them sighed at the same time .
Carlo said helplessly, "This kid, really… why does she always have to do this?"
Pedro spoke, "She must have found something suspicious . She shouldn't have chosen the power of the wind . We are always at disadvantage because of her . "
Osiris laid down again . "Now what? Call Juan . Only he will be able to stop her . She won't listen to us and will try to find out who The Mongoose are . We hid it from her for so long, we can't let them know of her existence . They think that she is dead, and it should remain that way forever . "
Carlo took out his cell phone and sent a text to Juan . Since he was practicing his arts, Carlo usually wouldn't dare disturb him .
Pedro said, "One day or another, the truth will eventually come out and they will find her . "
"We can't let that happen . We have to hide her for as long as we can . " Carlo said .

Mu Lan smirked when she saw that the three of them were startled . Currently, she had nothing to do . She had slept through the whole day and she couldn't fall asleep anymore . She kept thinking about 'The Mongoose' and the 'Head Family' that the three Cobra members were talking about . She was surprised that she was with The Cobra for so long but knew nothing about their enemies . She realized how much The Cobra had shielded her from danger while she had always sought it out .
While she was thinking, Mu Liang's cell phone located on the table started to vibrate . Mu Lan used her power to bring it to her . Looking at the screen, 'Father' flashed across it .
It was Mu Jin .
'Wasn't he at the hospital? Maybe there's some news about grandfather . ' Thinking that, Mu Lan answered the call . "Hello?"
Mu Jin called out, "Xiao Liang… eh… who are you?"
Mu Lan spoke in a hush tone, "It's me, Xiao Lan, Father-in-Law . How are you doing?" She didn't want to wake Mu Liang up since he was dead tired .
Mu Jin was startled at first, but quickly regained his composure . "X-Xiao Lan! Oh, I'm good . Where is Xiao Liang?"
Mu Lan replied, "He is sleeping . How's grandfather?"
Mu Jin said, "Ah, yes, about that, the doctor said that his health is stable now . He can return to the castle in a week . Please let Xiao Liang and the others know about it . "
Mu Lan agreed . "This is good news . I will let the others know in the morning . How's Noel? I heard that both grandfather and Noel are at the same hospital . "
She heard him saying, "Yes, you heard it right . He is doing fine now . But he'll need a month to recover . "
"As long as they come back safe and sound, that's all matters right now . " Mu Lan said . She was relieved to hear Noel's condition .
"You are right . " Mu Jin remembered something and continued, "Oh, I heard that you had a fever… How are you now?"
Mu Lan replied, "I've recovered . "
"You'll still need to rest more . I'll hang up now . Get some rest . Goodnight . " Bidding her a good night, Mu Jin hung up . He was sitting on a couch in the hospital corridor . He sighed and closed his eyes . He was so tired after travelling and not being able to rest after his journey .
A stranger walked into the corridor and saw Mu Jin . He paused before walking closer . He began to speak politely, "Excuse me, are you Mr . Mu?"
Mu Jin opened his eyes . "Yes, I am and you are?"
The stranger introduced himself, "I'm Li Shen from the Li Corporation in Shanghai . "
Mu Jin recalled something about Li Corporation . "Oh, I think I've heard about the Li Corporation before . A long time ago… I cannot remember… So why are you here?"
Li Shen replied, "My wife had an accident and had to have plastic surgery . The Lu Family Hospital has the developed technology, so I've brought my wife here . "
Mu Jin sympathized . "I'm so sorry to hear it . How's she now? Oh, please have a seat . "
Li Shen smiled lightly and sat down . "Thank you . She is doing fine now . " He looked relieved and tired . But in his heart, he felt nothing for his wife .
Mu Jin also smiled . "That's good to hear . "
Li Shen continued the conversation . He said, "If I'm not bothering you too much, I've heard that your father, the Elder of the Mu Family has been hospitalized here . How's he?"
Mu Jin replied, "It's not a bothered at all . I would like to have the company . My father is doing better . His health is stable . "
Li Shen calmly said, "All thanks to the Almighty . I've also met your eldest son, he was with a woman, she said that she was married to him . I was surprised to hear that . I hadn't heard anything about him getting married . "
Mu Jin said, "Oh, you are talking about Xiao Lan? She and my son are lovers . They will get married after she finishes her studies . " He smiled as he thought about his son getting married .
Li Shen clenched his fists . He didn't reveal his irritation and hatred . He said in a friendly tone, "…Is that so… I hope I will get an invitation . "
Mu Jin agreed . "Sure . I will let you know . "
"Then, I will go back to my wife . Good night . " Li Shen stood up walked towards the direction he came from . His eyes were as sharp as a sword . 'There is no way I will let them get married . I will kill Mu Liang if I have to . ' He promised himself .
-------
The next day, Mu Liang and Mu Lan's beauty sleep was disturbed by a certain someone .
Someone barged into the study room and yelled at Mu Liang . "Devil brat! How dare you crush my lovely daughter under your demonic body . Let her go!"
Apparently, last night, after Mu Liang fell asleep, Mu Lan cuddled into him and slept just like that . Thus, her body was under his heavy body and his face was on her bosom as he embraced her tightly as he slept .
