The next day, Mu Lan heard from the cook about Li Sheng"s order. She raised an eyebrow. She thought, "What does he want now? He must be plotting something."
She asked, "Did someone come yesterday? There was so much commotion."
The cook nodded in excitement. He whispered, "You have no idea who came to visit my boss. It was his elder brother, President Li. He came with his men and was looking for you. However, he couldn"t find you anywhere."
"What?!" Mu Lan jumped out of her bed. "Are you sure?"
The cook said, "Why won"t I be? I was present at that time. I saw everything. President Li looked so serious. We thought that he would call a war against his own brother. It was a good thing that he didn"t. I"ve never seen them fighting like that in my twenty years of service. President Li always gave in to my boss" request but it was different this time. Missy, did you put a spell on President Li and my boss?"
Mu Lan could hardly compose herself. She pretended to think very hard before answering, "It is definitely not me. After coming here, I feel some kind of strange power s.h.i.+elding me. I feel some people"s presence all the time. Don"t you feel that as well? My sixth sense is better than men. Right now, I can feel someone is gazing at me from that corner." She spoke seriously while pointing out that the left corner.
The cook trembled in fear and looked at the corner she pinpointed. Seeing no one there, chills ran down his spine. "I-I have something t-to do… I-l will leave first…" After stammering, he fled from there with his life.
Mu Lan covered her face. "Stupid Lan!" She scolded herself in frustration. "If you didn"t fall asleep and check what was going on out there, you could use Li Shen"s help to get out of there. Li Sheng is more dangerous than his elder brother Li Shen. Now the only chance to leave this place has been missed, what am I going to go?" She wanted to cry.
A week later, Li Sheng came to visit us. He looked around and commented, "You are being well treated."
"Did you think everyone is as heartless as you? People have conscience, unlike you." Mu Lan yawned.
Li Sheng asked, "What? Didn"t you sleep well?"
Mu Lan pouted. How could she fall asleep after Li Shen came to visit? She thought that Li Shen might come again and then she would use him to help her get away from here. So, she kept waiting for him. But that "useless jerk" never came.
"I guess one should take the opportunity once it comes." She thought. She already got her lesson.
Li Sheng didn"t wait for her reply. He said, "Get ready and pack your bag. We are going somewhere else."
"Where are we going?" She asked immediately.
"And why do I have to tell you? Get ready. I"ll give you fifteen minutes." Saying what he wanted to say, he left.
"I certainly don"t feel good about it." Mu Lan mumbled. She packed her luggage and waited for the guard to come inside. The guard came after fifteen minutes and took her out of the hidden room. Seeing sunlight for the first time in two months, her eyes almost closed. She covered her eyes and walked towards the car. After she climbed inside, a guard covered her eyes with black lace.
"What is that for? I don"t need it." Mu Lan protested. If she wanted to get out of this place, she needed to see the route of the place she was going now.
"We are being cautious. Stop giving us trouble." Seeing Mu Lan struggling, Li Sheng grabbed her tightly from the side. She didn"t stay still. She moved her head forward and hit his head with hers. Both of them shook in pain.
"Look what you have done!" Mu Lan rubbed her head.
"How is this my fault? If you didn"t struggle, none of us would be hurt." Li Sheng coldly instructed his men, "Don"t just sit there like an idiot. Tie her hands and eyes."
"Yes, boss!" The guard who was dumbfounded by Mu Lan"s spoiled acting, hurriedly tied Mu Lan"s hands as he tied the rope around her body. Later, he covered her eyes with black lace and tied it tightly.
Mu Lan didn"t make any trouble for anyone anymore. She held a grudge and intentionally put her foot over Li Sheng"s foot and pressed down with all her might.
"Huk!" Li Sheng couldn"t take the sudden pain. The oxygen from her stomach came out all at once. He licked her leg and screamed, "What do you think you are doing?"
Mu Lan sulked. "How is this my fault. I want to sit leisurely since the journey is quite long. But I can"t see now, can I?"
"You-" Li Sheng wanted to chew her head off. But he endured. "Stay away from me." He sternly said.
"But I want to keep my legs like this." Saying this, Mu Lan put her legs on his laps and leaned on the other side. She relaxed her body and concentrated on her power and kept in her mind how many times the car took turns and which road the car took.
Li Sheng wanted to break her legs but he had something in his mind, just the way Mu Lan predicted. That"s why he couldn"t hurt her now. He needed to make some use of her before disposing of her. He would throw her somewhere where no one would find her dead body, not even his mighty brother.
The car went to a residential area. There were lots of apartments. It was a well secured area and many ministers and rich people lived here. Li Sheng had overall control over this area and not even Li Sheng could barge in here as he pleased. The car drove to the innermost corner and stopped in front of a thirty storied building.
