Chapter 643: ADIOS
The guy beside him stopped. He barked, "Are you stupid? We have to take the girl alive. What if you kill her in the process?"
The man with the gun gave his reason. "We have to take her alive. Boss didn"t say that we can"t injure her."
"How can he sleep with an injured woman. Have some brain!" The other one scolded his fellow friend.
Everyone in this team misunderstood the whole situation.
Mu Lan saw that they pointed out a gun but then didn"t fire. She smirked again. "Looks like they got a disadvantage."
Mu Liang saw it too. He asked, "Do you want me to take care of it?"
"Nope. Just see how awesome I can be." With her left hand, she took out a gun which was tied with her left leg. She "borrowed" it from the men who tried to hurt her back in Riyadh. She didn"t take one, but two.
She turned her boat towards them and went straight ahead.
The enemy in the speed boat was baffled.
One said, "What"s she trying to do?"
Someone screamed, "This is totally a suicide!"
Another one said in fury, "She is crazy!"
The one beside the driver said, "Turn over! Turn over!" He didn"t dare to imagine what would happen if two boats collided to each other.
However, before they could turn over the boat, Mu Lan pointed out the gun at them.
"Holy s**t!" Someone cursed.
One of them said in disbelief, "She got a gun!"
Another one instructed, "Cover your head." He didn"t realize that his voice was too loud.
Mu Lan saw that the enemy hid behind the boat, not a single head could be seen. She commented in bored tone, "Idiots."
She really wanted to have more fun with them. She didn"t even start having fun.
And look at the coward!
Her gaze went to the end of the enemy"s speed boat. There was an oil tank. Her target was that from the very beginning.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Three bullets weren"t needed.
Boom!
The oil machine burst with a loud sound. The boat reached it"s limit also. Those men in the boat screamed and with fire in their bodies, they fell on the ocean. But the salt water made them feel even worse. They felt like thousands of needles were poking their injuries. It was so hard to breath.
"*Adios." Mu Lan gave them a farewell salute and turned her boat to the west.
The enemy didn"t have the mind to look at her. They were in the middle of the sea, couldn"t swam back to the sh.o.r.e and so, they were waiting to be rescued. There were burning pain all over their bodies.
However, the people they were waiting for couldn"t come in the ocean. The speed boats were all gone. So, they had to go back and got their boss"s speed boat and then went to the direction where their other team and the Mu couple went. But in the middle of the sea, they were stunned to see that the boat was on fire and their fellow friends were nowhere to be seen. The water was red.
"Sharks!" One of them s.h.i.+vered.
At first, they were in a dilemma, but then turned their boat to the other side and avoided the area and later, went to the west.

Mu Lan was looking forward. The breeze was going past her making her burqa and hijab flying in the back. At that time, a pair of strong arms hugged her from behind. Immediately, she felt warmth.
She was in a good mood. "Hey, hey, keep an eye on behind. Who knows when will they appear? They got another speed boat remember?"
Mu Liang took a deep breath and snuggled closer. "Yes, I know. Just let me hug you for a second."
Mu Lan giggled. "A second is over."
He said, "A minute." He hugged her tightly.
A minute later, she said, "One minute is over."
"An hour." It wasn"t enough for Mu Liang. The more he looked at her from behind, the more amazed he felt. He didn"t know what he had done in his past to get an amazing life partner like her in this life. "I"m so blessed." He thought.
"Stop it. Let me sail it properly. If they see you hugging me, they might aim at you. I think they didn"t shoot at us, because they want to take me alive. By the way, I was thinking, how did they find out who we are?" Mu Lan was thinking about it for a while.
"They certainly didn"t recognize me. But your face was uncovered. It must be for that." Mu Liang said.
Mu Lan said, "I think they had binocular with them. Even I couldn"t see their faces clearly."
"Isn"t that obvious?" He gazed at her. "Why are you speaking silly things. This isn"t like you. What"s in your mind?"
Mu Lan sighed. At first, she didn"t want to tell him now. She wanted them to reach Africa and then, she wished to talk about it. Now she didn"t have a choice left. She didn"t want him to misunderstand anything.
She spoke up, "I feel like things like this happened before too. My mind is telling me that this is the repet.i.tion of what happened before." She was confused. She didn"t know how to express herself.
Mu Liang asked carefully, "Like déjà vu?"
Mu Lan nodded. "Yeah. Like people were chasing after us and then I cut the ropes with Swish army knife… it all seemed it happened before."
Mu Liang recalled the similar incident. "It had indeed happened when Feng"s gang team was chasing after you. Feng wanted them to capture you but his team misinterpret it. In the end, they injured you and Feng skinned them alive."
Mu Liang didn"t continue the rest; he was afraid that she might get angry and wouldn"t talk to him anymore.
Mu Lan continued the rest, "And I was in coma. Okay, since for that incident I was able to meet you, I won"t take revenge on brother Feng. I will give him a little punishment."
She began thinking a way how to punish this brother of her after they go back to Paris.
