Chapter 601 LET ME KNOW ASAP
Chapter 601 LET ME KNOW ASAP
Mu Liang thought about it. \'If it was an unknown number, it couldn\'t be an alien language. It could be some sort of code which can only specific people read. And if this girl was kidnapped by the Mexican mafia, I don\'t think she would be given such glamorous treatment as a hostage. Hmm...\'
After sorting through the pros and cons for a second, he finally spoke, "Send me the number. I will let my men look into it. If possible, I will let Xiao Lan help to find your girlfriend... What else did the kidnappers say?"
"They said that as long as you don\'t go to Saudi Arabia, they will continue to lock her up. If I fail to send you there, they will kill her and let the street dogs eat her." Jonah trembled in anger as he said.
Mu Liang understood his feeling deep down. He could feel what Jonah was feeling. When Mu Lan was in danger, he felt terrible too.
Coldly he said, "Listen, I\'m not doing this for you. I\'m doing this for Xiao Lan. Since you are her one and only brother, I don\'t want anything happen to you because of us. After all, Xiao Lan is my responsibility. I will go to Saudi Arabia. Tell the kidnapper this and I hope that before I go there, my men will find your girlfriend. If you have any information regarding this matter, let me know as soon as possible."
Jonah\'s hand tightened around his cell phone. "I understand. I will do as you said."
Mu Liang said, "I won\'t do it for free. You need to investigate this Horse-master person for me."
Jonah was startled. "Horse-master? Could it be she was kidnapped by them?"
He dared not to imagine anything. He knew Horse-master\'s reputation too. He still couldn\'t relate Saudi Arabia with Mexico and had no idea what was going on Mu Liang\'s head. Yu Meili\'s task was stealing an emerald necklace which belonged to an ancient Chinese family and it was stolen by a businessman who lived in Mexico City. It was not related to Horse-master at all.
Mu Liang calmly said, "I cannot say that for sure, but since Horse-master is a friend of Mohamed Akram, just look into it. If you need help, let me know."
Jonah was speechless. Before he became overwhelmed with emotion, he wanted to thank his brother-in-law, however Mu Liang had already hung up.

At lunchtime, Mu Feng barged into Mu Liang\'s office. "Big brother, is it true that you are going to Saudi Arabia?" He was restless. After hearing from Assistant Ju Long, he raced to the office like a lightning bolt.
"That\'s true." Mu Liang calmly said.
"But why?" Mu Feng planned everything according to his big brother. He couldn\'t understand why the sudden change of plan.
"It\'s about Xiao Lan\'s brother. He..." Mu Liang told him everything.
In the end, Mu Feng sighed heavily and asked, "And how are you going to disclose this to sister Lan Lan? She won\'t like it when she finds out that you are doing it for her sake."
Mu Liang replied, "If there is an obstacle, we have to face it. And as long as I don\'t have to deal with that guy, he will keep targeting Xiao Lan. I want her to live freely, not live in danger."
Mu Feng nodded, "If that\'s the thing you are going to do, I\'m not stop you. But if something happens to you, I will send our elite team to rescue you. You can\'t say "no" to that."
If one brother wasn\'t in the territory, the other brother has to take care of the empire. It was an unspoken rule in the family. So even if Mu Liang was in danger, Mu Feng couldn\'t leave this place. He could only send his team to look for his older brother.
Mu Liang nodded. "I know. I won\'t say "no". But don\'t let anything slip from your mouth in front of Xiao Lan if something happens to me. And don\'t let others know either. I don\'t want her to worry unnecessarily."
"But I hope you will tell her before you leave." Mu Feng said.
"Of course, after she is done with her work, I will." Mu Liang nodded.
Mu Feng scratched his head and turned around to leave. "Fine. I will take care of the rest. You just do your work."

In the laboratory, Mu Lan was looking at the microscope. She gave her full concentration, so she didn\'t notice that someone had entered her office.
Even though the air conditioner was on the lowest temperature, Mu Lan was sweating.
She was talking to herself, \'Lan, you can do it. Just another small part, and it will be done.\' She didn\'t care that she was drenched in sweat. With her steady hands she attached the chip on the cockroach\'s body and sighed heavily.
"It\'s done!" She sat on her chair exhaustively and leaned back. She wiped off the sweat that had formed on her forehead and closed her eyes.
Someone slowly approached her from behind and put a cold towel on her forehead.
Mu Lan was startled and was about to jump out of the chair before she heard a voice over her. "Don\'t move. Relax your body." The person began to massage her stiff shoulder.
Mu Lan relaxed after hearing Mu Liang\'s voice and asked, "When did you come?"
"When you were playing with the cockroach." Mu Liang frowned as he felt her shoulders were rigid. "How long were you standing like this?"
Mu Lan wanted to refute that she wasn\'t playing with the ugly insect. But hearing his question, her body became hard. "Ah, that is...." She couldn\'t find any answer.
Mu Liang had a doubt. He asked, "Did you have your lunch?"
Mu Lan bit her lip and he got his answer. He gritted his teeth and said, "Mrs. Mu Lan, if you don\'t know how to take care of yourself, should your husband hire a babysitter for you?"
Mu Lan gulped down a mouthful of saliva.
