She looked sinister as she said, "You know, if you die, your sister Alice, your lover Emma, they will be very sad. You don"t want it, do you? Oh, another thing, did you know that Emma is dreaming to marry you for a long time? Now that you proposed to her, she keeps talking about it. What will happen if I kill you? Her dream will be tarnished." Mu Lan let out a loud sigh.
Emma and Alice were both her personal maids. Alice Roy was the sister of Ronald Roy and Emma was his fiancée and lover for ten years.
"Miss, you won"t kill me. I know you." He got some courage to have some confidence.
She really looked insane, "And you think, in rage I won"t harm Emma. Aren"t you a fool?"
"You won"t…" In the end, his voice had no strength left. He became doubtful.
"Haha… funny for you to say. Just remember that your first or second young masters will compensate you with money for your loss and they won"t let anything happen to me. Even if you beg them to let the police take me to the jail, or you try to kill me, whatever you do, all you will face a tragic end. And me? I will still be the mistress of the household who killed her servant because her fiancé didn"t listen to me. She will blame you for the rest of your life and her soul will regret ever loving you."
Saying that, she turned around and left.
"I will take you. Please, miss. Don"t hurt her." Ronald cried out from behind. His voice shook this time. He could risk his life, but not Emma"s. Moreover, what if Mu Lan really did something to Emma, Ronald could do nothing. Because of his stubbornness, he might lose the love of his life.
"You are wise, Ronald. As long as you safely send me there, nothing will happen." Mu Lan smiled and sat on the seat of the co-pilot.
"Insane! Simply insane!" Ronald thought in terror. He was sweating and his heart was beating fast as he started the engine.
Mu Lan tried hard to control her laughter.
Once Xue Lin said, "When someone is stubborn, reverse psychology always works. If you don"t believe me, then you can try for yourself."
"I owe you big time, Xue Lin." She thought as she enjoyed the ride. She was grateful towards her best friend. "Of course, my acting deserves an Oscar." Yet she didn"t forget to boost herself. However, the fire in her heart that was ignited by Ronald was burning slowly.
The plane took off and Mu Lan looked at the white clouds and the tiny buildings and trees down there.
"They are following us." Ronald suddenly announced.
Mu Lan gazed at the radar and found another private plane was following them from a certain distance.
"Turn on the radio." She instructed.
After turning on the radio, both of them heard Mu Feng"s voice. "Sister Lan Lan, do you hear me?... Sister Lan Lan?..... Are you there?.... Can we just talk?.... Are you alright?.... I"m worried, can you please answer me?"
His voice was full of warmth and he carefully spoke.

Mu Lan began speaking, "What is this? A honey trap? Sorry, but I won"t fall for it." Her tone was flat, cold and distance.
Mu Feng was silent for a few moments before speaking, "Si-sister Lan Lan, why did you do something like that? You could have just told me, I would personally take you there. Why so suddenly-"
Mu Lan frowned and shut him up. "Cut the c.r.a.p. I know very well that you would hide this information from me. Don"t think of me as a fool." Her tone was harsh.
Mu Feng wanted to hug her thigh and appease her. He said, "Sister Lan Lan, don"t be mad. We are trying to protect you-"
She interrupted him again. "I know. That"s why I didn"t beat you up to death. But everything has its limit. You can"t just shackle a free person who has every right to choose for herself. What you and your brother tried this time, I don"t want it to be repeated. And I dare you to do things like that ever again."
Her voice was powerful and threatening. It made not only Ronald, who was sitting beside her, s.h.i.+vered but also the people, who were in the other plane chasing after Mu Lan and Ronald, heard her voice and trembled in fear.
They knew that Mu Feng and Mu Lan"s relations.h.i.+p was better than the real brother and sister, but threatening the King of the Underworld, was she asking to be imprisoned for the rest of her life?
"I understand. I understand, sister Lan Lan. It"s my fault. I apologize to you. How about you come back and we can discuss with our col heads and decide our next plan." For now, all he wanted to take her back.
The bodyguards looked at their "King" of the Underworld in in disbelief. Some of them started to think whether Mu Feng was the real one or an imposter. Their leader gave them hard stare when he noticed that his subordinates were pointing their guns at Mu Feng.
Mu Lan laughed aloud. Her voice was beautiful but it made others feel chills running down their spines.
After a long time, she said, "Turn your plane and return to the mansion."
The men all sighed in relief; and so did Ronald. Unfortunate for him, his smile vanished from her face just when he was the revolver in Mu Lan"s hand.
Her words weren"t meant for Ronald but Mu Feng!
"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?"
