If she forgot the rest of it, she must have forgot about the Mu boy too. Thinking of Mu Liang’s pained expression and determined to save Mu Lan from everything, The Cobra members began to pity him for the first time.
However, she could still remember her Saudi Arabia adventure, then there must have some chance for her to recall his existence.
Thinking that, Mark asked her carefully. “Who were you with when you were being chased?”
Mu Lan answered lightly, “…I was alone, okay? Who else there would be?”
“No f***ing way!” Romano cursed. They wished to get her memories back, not to forget her present.
“Language! She is a kid.” Mark scolded Romano.
Mu Lan was feeling vexed. “Are you all playing with me? I don’t care if I had amnesia or not. You all made me suffer. Now I will return it back to you.”
She was holding them in the air till now. After she said that she was going to punish them, they felt the air tightened around their necks.
“Little one, look at me.” Juan said. He was still as calm as ever.
Mu Lan closed her eyes and stubbornly said, “No, I won’t. I don’t want to look at you.” She knew that he was her weakest spot. Only by looking at his eyes her stubbornness would crumble.
In the meantime, Carlo said, “Shin, help us.”
Shintaro was sweating when he was hearing all the commotion their little girl caused. He replied, “Give me a minute.”
Carlo gritted his teeth. “We don’t have a minute!” Saying only one line made him choke. After that, he couldn’t talk anymore.
“Give me thirty seconds then.” Then, Shintaro murmured, “Thank goodness that I didn’t go there.”
“Missy, you don’t want to do this.” Mark tried to appease her anger.
Mu Lan wanted to laugh, but her eyes were full of sadness. “You are right. I don’t want to. But if I don’t do this, you will hurt me again in the future.”
“I will never hurt you in the future. I… promise.” Mark could hardly breathe.
Carlo closed his eyes and used telepathy to talk to Mu Lan. “Don’t do this, kid. Listen to me.”
Mu Lan covered her ears. She screamed, “Don’t play your mind trick Carl! I absolutely hate it when you control my mind like this, Stop it.”
Carlo softy spoke to her through telepathy. “Shin has something to show to you. Kill us if you want to. But if you don’t see this, you will regret it for the rest of your life. You know we never want you to be sad right? Please, I want you to do this for you. You don’t have to acre about us, just see what Shin has to say to you.”
Of course, she didn’t want to kill them. She just wanted to punish them and Carlo knew it. That’s why he could say such thing.
There were two things that Mu Lan wanted to avoid when she was angry. One was Juan’s warm gaze at her and two was Carlo’s sweet, honey words. These two things would make her soft heartened instantly.
Mu Lan turned towards Carlo and walked towards him. She looked down and saw the cellphone on his left hand. She took it and looked on the screen.
Shintaro was looking at her through the screen too. Seeing her red eyes, he gulped down his saliva. He blurted out, “Wow! You look like a vampire.”
Mu Lan grinned like a pure devil. “Why? Do you want me to suck you dry? I know that your blood will taste great.” She slowly licked her lower lip.
Shintaro shivered. He lightly waved his hand. “No need. No need. Before you suck me dry, I think you want to see this.”
Mu Lan frowned. “What do you want me to s-?”
Her words halted inside her mouth. Her eyes grew bigger as she saw a man was tied up on the bed. He was sweating. He looked like he was in deep pain. His face was ashened and lips were dry. There was a thick cloth inside his mouth so that he didn’t but his own tongue.
She didn’t know why such handsome man was in the terrible state. She didn’t even know him. But looking at his face, her heart squeezed in pain. She felt so bad that her breathing stopped for a moment. He looked so familiar and yet so strange.
“Who is this guy?” She asked softly.
“The guy you love.” Shintaro blurted out.
“What?” Mu Lan was stunned.
She didn’t like the idea called lover. The last thing she wanted was having a romantic relationship that would bind her. She wanted a free life with no responsibility. How could she have a lover?
Shintaro hurriedly said, “You just forgot your present. After you left for Antarctica and before you went to Saudi Arabia, many things happened in between. Because of some psychological issues that I don’t understand you cannot remember anything. You went back to Egypt to get the antidote for you lover. Now I really really hope that you have the antidote.”
“I have it.” Mu Lan had a headache. ‘Lover, seriously?’ She didn’t want to believe anything. But none of it seemed lie.
Shintaro sighed in relief. “Good. Because you don’t have much time left. You have to come back to Tanzania hideout beside Lake Rukwa. Do you remember where is it?”
“I do.” Mu Lan nodded.
“Awesome! Come back in three hours with the antidote.” Shintaro hung up.
Mu Lan threw the cellphone at Carlo and he caught it swiftly. While she was talking, she let them go and they were coughing nonstop.
“I’m heading out first.” Saying that Mu Lan leapt in the darkness.
After she left, the luxurious building broke down where everything happened. The dead bodies were buried without anyone knowing.
“What about Al? Did he move away from there?” Mark asked in anxiety.
Romano was still rubbing his neck. “If he did, why didn’t he come here to us?”
