Altan noticed her discomfort and asked, "Lanie, when are you going to Saudi Arabia?"
Mu Lan found her voice. "After breakfast. We cannot waste out time any longer. Why do you ask?" She made sure that her voice wasn't too fast or too slow while talking.
Al said, "I would like to go with you. Will it be a problem?"
Mu Lan shook her head and answered with a smile, "Not at all. You are most welcome."
Al was relieved. "Also, I want to be your personal attendant. Can you manage it?"
Mu Lan's eyes darted around towards Mu Liang before she replied, "Sure, but will be better if you don't show your face to my brother and brother Feng."
Mark said, "It wouldn't be easy for him to be joined at attendant. How about personal secretary."
Mu Lan shrugged. "...I don't need one; and I'm still a student. It would be weird for me to have one."
Romano suggested, "Then a bodyguard."
"Al will have to go under training. If he is too fast, others will be suspicious; and if he is too slow, it will be a problem for him and it will take time to fulfill his original purpose." Mu Lan glanced at Al. "You want to keep an eye on me, don't you?"
Al positively answered, "That's right. You will go to China to get the gold key. I won't take my eyes off of you."
Mu Lan suddenly realized that something wasn't right. "Hold on, I'm not going to China anytime soon."
Others stopped eating and looked at her. They wanted to listen attentively what she planned.
Mu Lan continued, "I have some plan before I'm going to China. I want to finish those work. You said that there is a sign that my father might come back from coma. He won't just wake up now. It means that there is still some time. Before he opens his eyes, I want to finish off every last bit of his enemy so than he can have a peaceful life. I still don't know who is the mastermind of father's death and who tried to kill mother. Though the doctor who tried to kill mother and my aunt know each other, I feel like there is someone behind them. My aunt simply won't try to kill my mother. They didn't even live in the same city. These two sisters had no connection. Suddenly everyone thought that my mother died and weeks later, my aunt contacted me. If she really was the mastermind of my mother's accident, she wouldn't take this much time to contact me. Furthermore, where the heck did she get my number?"
"Your number?" Mu Liang caught it. "You had your own cell phone when you were just two?"
The sentence structure wasn't interrogative, however, Mu Liang simply didn't believe her words and wanted to confirm if he heard right.
Mu Lan mysteriously smiled. "Yes, I did; I remember I got it right after I knew how to speak and it was the only special mobile at that time. It was custom made. My father promised me to give it if I called 'papa' first. Mother was upset when she got to know it though." Recalling the time, she giggled and then sighed. She simply missed her family.
"You were spoiled." Mu Liang had a hard time to believe it.
He was somewhat jealous. He remembered when he was ten years old and wanted a cell phone, his grandfather made him ran thirty kilometers in forty minutes. No normal human being could do that. But Mu Liang still did. It was summer and after he was done running, he fainted on the spot. And here his wife got the cell phone right after she was born.
A girl's life was sure different from a boy's.
Mu Lan stopped smiling and asked, "More importantly, do you people have any idea of father's background? I never heard of his family. I don't know his family title. I don't remember having myself a family title. It's just weird."
The Cobra members went into deep thoughts. When the first time they got to know Professor Ryuren, they tried to find out his family background. However, even they couldn't get to know anything. Not only Professor Ryuren removed his family's existence, but also he never tried to contact anyone who was related to him in the past. Moreover, he wasn't in contact with the people who were his childhood friends, or neighbors. It was simply he had no one who knew his past existence. It was terrifying.
"We have no idea." Mark said truthfully.
"How can that be? There must be something." Mu Lan bit her lower lip. Suddenly something came in her mind. She looked at Carlo and asked, "Didn't you read father's mind?"
"I tried but couldn't. he was just like you." Carlo did try to read Professor Ryuren's mind, but he was as tricky as his daughter. Carlo had to give up the thought
"But you can read my mind." Mu Lan said.
Carlo replied while frowning, "It was after you were hypnotized by a mafia gang after we came back from Amazon. I hypnotized you so that others cannot do it to you no matter how talented they are. It was then I wanted to read your thoughts. After that I could read your thoughts. I still can do now."
"So that's how it is." Mu Lan leaned back. "Do you people remember when my parents met? I believe you checked her background too."
Juan answered this time. "We did. The funny part is, we even found out when your mother and Mr. Mu met each other. But there is nothing regarding Ryu and your mother. Even their marriage certificates and registrations are gone. I believe that those documents were burnt."
Mu Lan was speechless. "How can that be possible. Without national identification and passport how could they move from one place to another place?"
"It is possible if someone very powerful is backing you." Shintaro added.
