Mu Lan"s comment was sharp and her tone was slightly louder than usual. It caught many others" attention.
Mohammed Akram didn"t blink even once when she said those words. His gaze kept lingering on her. He looked like he was a hunter looking at his prey.
Just like him, Mu Lan"s eyes were watching him like a hunter. She also didn"t move her away from his.
A group of businessmen from different countries were talking closed to them. When they heard Mu Lan"s stern voice, they came closer.
One of them asked Mu Lan, "Aren"t you the fiancée of Mr. Mu Liang of Mu Corporation. I"ve seen you in the party in Paris. You were his acting a.s.sistant, weren"t you?"
Mu Lan nodded. "Yes. I gave him a helping hand when his a.s.sistant was in holidays."
Another one spoke, "You were saying something about your fiancé was missing…"
"Yes, Liang is missing and I came here. The team to search for him is on the way. Surprisingly this gentleman here not doing anything to help me to look for him." When she said "this gentleman", she pointed out Mohammed Akram.
The businessmen were glanced at him in disbelief. The oldest of them all spoke out first, "Is it true that Mr. Mu is missing, Mr. Akram? When I asked you, you said that he went back home."
"Yes, you said the same thing to me too." Another one added.
Mohammed Akram looked at them calmly before his eyes landed on Mu Lan for a few seconds. Then he said, "Gentlemen, I didn"t want anyone to worry you-"
The oldest businessman interrupted him. "But you are making Mr. Mu"s fiancée here. Why aren"t you doing anything to search for him? He must have been gone for two days to make his own fiancée so desperate."
This businessman was one of the business partners of Mu Corporation. He knew Mu Liang for many years. He liked this young CEO. He wanted to have some private chat with Mu Liang but Mohammed Akram lied to him. He was really angry.
Mohammed Akram couldn"t possibly let the billionaire of New Zealand get angry for such thing. He said, "I don"t want Ms. Lan to harm herself. That"s why I"m waiting for Mu Family"s team to come."
It was reasonable. The businessman shut his mouth.
Mu Lan retorted, "So, you will wait for them to clean your dirty works! It was your responsibility to take care of your guest!"
Mohammed Akram was still calm. "Ms. Lan, my guests aren"t kids."
She didn"t hold back this time. "If it weren"t for your invitation, he wouldn"t come here and go missing. Who knows if you have any personal grudge or maybe he found out that you did something illegal that"s why you made him disappear."
The guests around them stopped talking at once and only glanced at each other. Some of them praised her bravery, some of them got worried about her safety and some of them looked at her in disdain.
Mohammed Akram gazed at her for a long time. Finally, he opened his mouth. "Ms. Lan, your tongue is too sharp. It"s not good for your health."

"Are you threatening me?" Mu Lan seemed amused.
"I"m being considerate." Mohammed Akram coolly said.
Mu Lan shook her head. "You don"t have a lover Mr. Mohammed Akram. If you had, you would have understand my feelings too. Since you are pretending to be considerate, I will wait for my team to come. They are coming tonight, right?"
Mohammed Akram nodded. "Ms. Lan, you are correct. The team is coming tonight. After that, I will do everything to a.s.sist you all. Can you please calm down a little?"
Mu Lan raised her right eyebrow and said, "I will come down when you will give me back my fiancé."
Sensing her enmity, he asked, "Ms. Lan are you having any grudge against me?"
"What do you think?" Her eyes clearly said, "Isn"t it normal?"
Mohammed Akram slightly smiled. "If you need some rest, please feel free to do whatever you want. If you don"t like the food here, you can just ask the maids who are a.s.signed to you whatever you want to eat. Please make yourself at home."
"Are you telling me to head back?" Mu Lan stretched her lips on the right side.
Mohammed Akram asked her with a smile on his face, "Ms. Lan, do you like to interpret things on your own?"
Mu Lan innocently said, "No. But someone definitely has the ability to feign ignorance."
Mohammed Akram"s eyes flickered. He only smiled and shortly said, "Enjoy the party."
After that, Mohammed Akram began talking to the ministers once again and Mu Lan took a gla.s.s of juice and had small conversation with the businessmen.
One of the ministers said, "So, this is the woman you were talking about?"
Mohammed Akram nodded. "Yes, she is the next target of us. I know you people will enjoy tonight"s show."
Another minister laughed. His l.u.s.tful eyes were gazing at Mu Lan"s body. "I guess you are doing everything to make her tame. I also love taming wild animals."
Mohammed Akram chuckled. "No. I"m not going to tame her. She is already tamed. All I want to make her wild."
Someone else added, "Making her wild in the bed will be a lovely work."
"I have another plan for her." Mohammed Akram"s eyes lingered on Mu Lan without her noticing.
What they were talking, Mu Lan knew nothing of it. She was feeling bored as she drank the juice. When she finished drinking, she put the gla.s.s on a side table and walked in the corner. She saw a shadow and became suspicious. She walked faster and went to the corridor and found no one.
She heard some footsteps. Some people were coming closer. Mu Lan quickly hid herself behind a pillar.
Some men walked forward and she could hear them. They were talking in low voice.
"It was a good thing that we have finished the task before the team came."
"Yes, now all they will find is the dead body."
"We have to tell the master the Mu Liang is dead."
