“I won’t tell you twice, brother Feng. I will give you three seconds. If you don’t turn your plane around to the mansion’s direction and follow me, then….” She turned off the safety catch of the gun and said. “I will blow Ronald’s head. By the way, I don’t know how to fly a plane. You know what it means right?”
Mu Feng and the bodyguards beside him heard the click sound of the safety catch turned off.
Did they know that they were drenched in sweat?
Probably not!
“What’s your answer, brother Feng? Do you want me to die?” Mu Lan pressed that gun on Ronald’s head.
Ronald spoke out for the first time. “Second young master, I want to get married and have my own family. Please turn your plane.”
His pleading was heart breaking; but Mu Lan wished to laugh out loudly. However, with her Oscar winning acting, she kept her demonic expression.
“Fine. We will head back.” Mu Feng sighed feeling defeated. “But sister Lan Lan, wait for the team. Stay with them. If you need any help, call me anytime.”
Her answer was simple. “I know.”
Thus, Mu Feng ordered the pilot to head back.

At Riyadh, in Saudi Arabia.
Mohammed Akram was in his palace, taking a warm bath. The bathroom was huge and was totally covered with white marble stones. The ringing sound of water from the fountain filled the room. There was a faint and yet sweet smell of roses mixed with soap. He was in the white marble stone bathtub. His eyes were closed and his body was relaxed. One of the female servants was scrubbing his back diligently.
The female servants were wearing traditional Arabian desert tribal clothes; green blouse with golden colored silk pajamas with golden chiffon veil covering their faces. The blouse only covered the chest area; other parts were uncovered.
Knock! Knock!
Another maid, who was standing in the corner of the bathroom, opened the door.
Mohammed Alif peeped inside the bathroom. “Is my cousin here?”
The maid softly nodded. She didn’t dare to look at him. She was feeling rather shy and fidget.
Mohammed Alif chuckled. “Are you new in here? You seemed to be cuter than the last one who served my cousin.”
Mohammed Akram leisurely called out, “Alif, don’t cause trouble for my maids.”
“Cousin, if I give you a piece of good news, will you give her to me?” Alif grinned.
Akram’s eyes were still closed. He said, “First tell me the good news, I will decide.”
Alif said with a satisfied grin, “Mr. Mu Liang’s fiancée is coming here. She is on the way here.”
Akram was silent for a second and then asked, “Alone?”
“Alone.” Alif gave an affirmative answer.
The corners of Akram’s lips rose up. “Good news indeed.”
Alif interfered. “Bad news is coming next.”
Akram: “…”
Alif gave him the breaking news. “Mr. Mu Feng is sending an elite team to look for his brother.”

Akram sighed. “We arranged everything for our guests, didn’t we?” He gave a smirk. “Get ready for the guests. We have to give them a warm welcome.”
“Okay, cousin…… and the maid….?” Alif asked.
“Take whichever two maids you want. They are just toys anyways.” Akram said carelessly.
“Thanks cousin, you are the best.” Alif grinned and then threw the new maid in his shoulder and carried her away.

Mu Lan’s plane landed on Mohammed Akram’s personal airport.
Mohammed Akram personally came to receive her.
“As soon as I walk down, you have to take off. Get it?” Mu Lan commanded.
Ronald had enough of it. He vigorously nodded. “Y-yes, miss.”
“Good. Don’t let them catch you.” After telling that she gave him her usual friendly smile and then left.
‘Did she play with me and the second young master all this time? We actually fell for her trap! No way!’ Ronald wanted to die right then and there.
Just as Mu Lan came out, the sunlight hit her face. She covered her face with a white scarf and climbed down.
“Welcome, Ms. Lan. I have been expecting a great army force, but not the gorgeous and elegant lady of the Mu Household. It’s an honor to have you here.” Mohammed Akram genuinely gave her a warm greeting and handed over a bouquet of red roses.
Mu Lan didn’t give him a slight smile. She didn’t take the roses either. She said, “I didn’t know that Arabians had a habit of giving red roses to the army.”
Mohammed Akram saw her resistance clearly, however, he wasn’t bothered even a little bit. He said, “Ms. Lan, I know that you are upset. You have every right to do that. But please give us a chance. Mr. Mu Liang is a big man. He can’t just vanish.”
“You are telling me that he left on his own when he was house arrest?” Mu Lan’s question as full of mockery. If it was anyone else, they would burn in rage or would be red in shame.
However, Mohammed Akram was different. He slightly bowed and showed a sympathetic expression. “Ms. Lan, I don’t know where you heard it from, but it breaks my heart when you are telling my friendly gesture towards my guest is house arrest. I simply tried to do my best not to have any flaws in my hospitality.”
“Please remember that guests are here for work. They need relax time when they are in the guest rooms. Your guards won’t give them leisure feeling, believe me on this.” Mu Lan looked around her and saw the guards were standing in a line to receive her. “Moreover, you have such grand security system, why would you have o keep guards inside?”
“Men aren’t the most loyal creature in this world, Ms. Lan. My guests are important to me. I can’t take any risks. But I will keep your words in my mind.” Mohammed Akram patiently said as he led her to the inside of the palace.
