Mu Lan closed her eyes and thought about the people around her, the people she was connected with . She thought, 'I can no longer be like before, can I?' She knew very well that she couldn't put everyone in danger because of her selfish reasons .
She took a deep breath and calmed herself down . She opened her eyes and glanced at Juan . "I won't do anything . I won't stand in your way . "
Juan was satisfied with her answer . He patted her head . "You've grown . Now you know how to take responsibility . I'm proud of you . "
Someone came into the room without knocking on the door and said, "I'm sorry to interrupt an emotional moment but I've some things to report . "
It was Osiris .
Both Juan and Mu Lan glanced at him .
Osiris declared, "That doctor Lu Feng of Lu Family, that guy found out about our elixir . "
Mu Lan was shocked . "What did you just say?"
Osiris explained, "He was lurking around our hideout for a while . Guess what, he found another way in to go to the core of the cave . Thank goodness, before he entered to the last stage, Antonio captured him . He is unconscious right now . "
AdvertisementMu Lan exhaled aloud . "He has been missing and people were looking for him madly . And he was there all along! Unbelievable! He was there to look for the greatest antidote in history . He knew where he was going and what he was doing . "
She glanced at Juan . "How did he get our most secretive information?"
Juan also looked at her . "Do you want to find that out by yourself?"
She stared at him without talking .
---------
While Mu Liang was in the meeting with a client at a hotel, he got a text from Mu Lan . It said, 'Hubby, stop your men from look for doctor Lu Feng . We already got his location . I'm going there . I'll come back with him as soon as possible . Love you!'
He was stunned when he read the text . After a while, he excused himself from the client and called Mu Feng .
Mu Feng answered his called almost immediately . "Big brother I was about to call you . It's about Lu Feng . "
Mu Liang asked, "What about him?" He began wondering if Mu Lan gave Mu Feng any news .
Mu Feng said excitedly, "Some people saw him on the Caribbean beach of Costa Rica . Can you believe it? I'll personally go there-"
Mu Liang interrupted him saying, "Hold it . No need to go there . "
Mu Feng blinked . "Huh? What do you mean?"
'So, Lan didn't tell him . ' Mu Liang thought . He said, "He is coming back soon . Withdraw you men . They don't need to look for him anymore . "
"…Did you find him? Where is he?" Mu Feng was puzzled .
Mu Liang replied, "I don't know where he is . I only got the news and called you . "
Mu Feng asked, "Who told you?" He was getting curious .
"Someone close . " Mu Liang said truthfully . But his vague answer reiterated the fact that he didn't want to tell Mu Feng who told him .
Mu Feng understood it . But he still tried to ask, "But who-"
"Someone very close . " That was all Mu Liang told him .
Mu Feng sighed . "Alright, I believe you . I'll tell my men to withdraw . "
Mu Liang hung up the call and called Mu Lan . She didn't answer his call . He looked outside the window; it was already lunch time . The sun was glaring above the Florence city .
----------
Mu Lan was on her way to the Atlantic Ocean . As she predicted, she didn't take more than seven hours . It was way to slow, even for her . She was faster before .
She stood on the beach of Dakar the capital of Senegal in West Africa . It's an Atlantic port on the Cap-Vert peninsula . She looked at the bustling place .
Romano reached and stood beside her . "Do you want to rest, little princess? Or do you want a boat?"
"A boat can't take the pressure of the waters in there . " Mu Lan was breathing heavily and sweating all over .
Pedro also reached them . "Even though you are this slow, your situation isn't good . You need to exercise more . You are losing your stamina faster than I expected . "
Mu Lan sat down on the wooden floor . "I want to take some time rest . "
Romano asked worriedly, "Do you want to say here for the night, little princess . It's getting dark . It will be difficult to see in the dark . "
Mu Lan suggested, "I want to stay in a resort . Let's go to the Caribbean Sea . It's been a while since I was there . "
"Are you sure you can handle it?" Pedro asked . He took her wrist and checked her pulse . After that he said, "Let's grab some food . Let others the wait for you . "
As he pulled her, they went to a nearby restaurant to have dinner . Later, they went to Saint Kitts and Nevis, a dual-island nation situated between the Atlantic Ocean and Caribbean Sea . There, they went to a five-star hotel named Four Seasons Resort Nevis, in Pinney's Beach, Charlestown . They rented an entire private area just for themselves .
Mu Lan laid down on the soft bed and told Pedro, "Tell the others to join us . It has been a while since we had fun and relaxed . "
Pedro agreed easily, "I will call Juan . "
When the others arrived, Mu Lan was already fast asleep .
Osiris saw her sleeping soundly and chuckled . "My, my, I didn't think of seeing this . I thought that she would take the Lu boy and go back to Italy as soon as possible . "
Pedro spoke in a hush tone, "She is dead tired . Her body became weaker since she didn't exercise her power . "
Carlo said, "But that doesn't cover the fact that for the first time she isn't acting lovesick even being apart from the Mu devil brat . "
Hearing such uncouth title of Mu Liang, Pedro gave him a strange look . He wondered what Mu Liang had done to piss Carlo off so much .
