As Mu Lan was having snacks, Noel spoke politely, "Madam Mu, second young master recommended a personal driver for you. He was professionally trained in here. He saved first young master after he was shot."
"Oh, yes, you told me about him before. I forgot to meet him at that time. Very well. Let"s see what he is capable of." She finished her snacks and was ready to go out.
At the entrance, Mu Lan met the driver Mark Anthony. That guy was definitely nervous after seeing Mu Lan who was the head of the house.
"You are Mark Anthony." Mu Lan spoke first before he could introduce himself.
By now, Mu Lan knew every single face of all the servants of this household. Of course she saw Mark Anthony"s photo in the contract he signed. But this was the first time they actually met.
"I am. I"m honored to work under you, missy." Mark dramatically bowed. After she gazed at him, his nervousness from before was long gone.
Mu Lan was stunned. He must be the first person who called the head of the Mu Family "missy" knowing that she was his employer. However, she didn"t mind calling him that. It made her feel younger.
Mu Lan smiled and said, "The honor is mine. I heard that you saved the first young master. We are lucky to have a person like you. You know where you have to take me, right?"
"Yes, missy." Mark nodded.
"Let"s go then. I shouldn"t be late." Mu Lan left with Mark.
As the car drove, Mu Lan was checking her cell phone. It had been thirty minutes but they hadn"t reached yet. Mu Lan was bored at threw her cell phone beside her. She glanced outside the window to look at the scenery. Suddenly she realized that the car was going in a different direction.
Mu Lan immediately became alerted. "Mark, we are supposed to go to the company. Where are you taking me?"
Mark"s eyes were on the road. Though he was calm, a tension was rising inside the car. "Missy, didn"t you notice?"
Mu La sharply gazed at him. "Notice what?"
Mark looked at the rare view mirror. "Three cars are following us. I"m trying to ditch them."
Mu Lan check behind her and realized what Mark said was true. Three black cars were following them.
Today, she was supposed to show a presentation regarding Island Project. The construction was supposed to start two weeks ago, but Romano Corporation withdrew money and the work delayed. Then Mu Lan took three days to create the design. She couldn"t delay it any longer.
The copy of the presentation was supposed to be with her. Fortunately Mu Liang and Mu Feng both of them had copy of the presentation. She didn"t take one. However, someone must have thought that the planning would be with her. Someone must have leaked the information from the inside. There was only one company who would want to s.n.a.t.c.h the project.
"It must be Romano Corporation." Mu Lan looked at the watch. She still had half an hour before the meeting started.
Mark read news every day. He said, "Missy, they have bad intention. The speed of their cars are getting faster. They are trying to make a car accident or want us to take in some direction. I might get rough. Do you have problem with it?"
"Be my guest. We have to reach before the meeting starts." Mu Lan took her cell phone. She needed to call Mu Liang. She regretted not to explain the details of the presentation to Mu Liang. If she did, she didn"t have to worry about it now.
But before she could dial the number, one car from behind nearly hit Mu Lan"s car. Mark took a sharp turn to avoid the car crash. The cell phone from Mu Lan"s hand flew off.
"Missy, hold on tight." Mark looked back to check if she had safety belt tightened around her. "Don"t move around."
Mu Lan couldn"t take off the safety belt and her hand couldn"t reach her cell phone. She only said, "Just push the red b.u.t.ton. It will alert the bodyguards."
Just then she noticed. Where were the bodyguards who were following her car?
Mark did as she told. He pushed the emergency b.u.t.ton and drove faster. He already ditched two cars.
"Where are the bodyguards" cars those were following us?" Mu Lan asked.
"When I tried to ditch the enemy"s cars, I also ditched them." Mark said. "I didn"t know that their drivers were so unskilled that they couldn"t follow us."
He took three turns and drove the car in the narrow road.
Mu Lan looked around. It felt like that she was in an uninhabited place. "Are we too far from the company? Only fifteen minutes left."
Mark whole heartedly focused on the road. He replied, "At first, I was planning to go to the company, but they seemed to see through my plan. They became rougher even in the main road. I"m surprised to see that police aren"t after them. Now we are far from the both company and home. It will take forty five minutes to reach the company."
"It"s no good." Mu Lan said. She had to reach the company.
They ditched the last car which had been following them. Mark stooped the car under a bridge which no one used. He looked around the area carefully. He didn"t find a single soul.
"I think we can go back now." Mu Lan said.
Mark didn"t say anything. He started the engine and drove to the exit, the opposite road.
Just then, a cargo came forward. It drove straight right side of their car and…
Cras.h.!.+
Mu Lan"s car flew far away as it circled on the air and then heavily crashed on the road.
In the silent world, the sound was so loud that if there was any ghost, it would be scared.
A pair of legs came out of the cargo and walked towards the car.
