"You can't drink this. It has medicine mixed in here." He threw the water in the bathroom and came back. After that, he took a drumstick and began eating it.
Mu Lan raised an eyebrow. "Attacking in the first chance they get. I underestimated him. No wonder I didn't find any bugs or anything. Is he trying to get me by drugging me? How hilarious! Too bad that he can't."
She had elixir in her blood. The Cobra also knew that. Because of the elixir no matter what she was given as long as she got the antidote, nothing would happen to her; and if the antidote wasn't around, then she had to suffer for some weeks before her body would make the antidote itself. Overall, she wouldn't die.
She looked at the Mongolian man who was eating as fast as he could. "Relax when you eat. If you eat like this you won't be able to taste anything."
"I didn't eat anything this whole day." He said.
Mu Lan couldn't say anything against it anymore. She could only say, "Don't choke while you eat then." She gave him the whole chicken roast.
"You are generous." He commented.
She put the piece of lamb meat inside her mouth and started to chew it. While chewing she asked, "So, what should I call you? Mark didn't tell me any of your names."
"I'm Altan Yul. You can call me Al." He said. Then, he asked, "Are you sure that you don't want this chicken roast? Never miss Arabian foods. These are delicious."
Mu Lan was busy with eating Mandi food. Mandi is a traditional dish originated from Hadhramaut, Yemen, consisting mainly of meat and rice with a special blend of spices. It is cooked in a pit underground. It's extremely popular and prevalent in most areas of the Arabian Peninsula.
She said, "You can have it. So, when did you come here?"
He answered, "This morning. When I heard that they arranged this room for you, I came here and waited for you."
Mu Lan dropped her fork. "….You mean when I was bathing and then came out just wearing towel around my body and after that I chose a dress to wear and later when I wore that dress, all this time you were in this room?"
Altan didn't notice her slight shiver. He said in a light tone, "Yes. But don't worry, I didn't see anything. I turned my head towards the door."
Mu Lan frowned. "It doesn't matter. You were still in the room. Next time I'm bathing, stay outside of the room."
He shrugged. "What's there to hide anyway and more importantly, you have nothing to offer to me." He said with an uninterested attitude.
Mu Lan became red in fury. "I dare you to say that again."
"Haha…. Embarrassed? But you can't do anything to me as long as you have no memory of your past."
Mu Lan narrowed her eyes and coldly gazed at Altan. "When I get my memory back, I will come after you for sure."
Noticing that the situation wasn't in a favorable side, Altan raised his two hands in defeat. "It's all my fault. I apologize. Please quell your anger, your majesty."

Mu Lan easily agreed. "Sure, I will forgive you."
Altan sighed in relief. "Thank you, your majesty for your generosity."
She grinned. "Most welcome; but you have to do something for me."
"…"
Mu Lan continued, "Go to Mohammed Akram's office and there you will find Liang's luggage. There is a small silver colored tube in the left corner of the luggage. I want it. If it's not there, then maybe it was taken by Liang or Mohammed Akram. If that Arabian guy has it, bring it to me. Understood?"
"…Understood." Altan replied. 'What amnesia? She is just like before! Little devil!' He complained in his heart.
"Are you cursing me?" Mu Lan asked doubtfully.
"Not at all." Saying that he vanished from her side.
After she had finished eating, the maids came and took the empty treys with them.
One of them said, "Master Akram said that he wanted you to meet him in his office in the evening. He also apologized not to accompany you right now since he was busy with some business meetings."
"Okay. I will take some rest till then." Mu Lan replied with a smile.
After the left, she turned on her laptop once again and searched for any information regarding her father, Professor Ryuren. Since her toys were activated, she could easily look inside Mohammed Akram's laptop, broke the code and began hacking every possible document she could.
Finding Mu Liang wasn't her only reason to come here, since she couldn't use her toys from Paris, she had to come here to look for her father too and if any chance her father was here, she would rescue him by any means.
In his laptop, there were the files and evidence of all his misdeeds. Mu Lan read the stories about how he managed to establish slave trade.
"So, the women in here are all slaves. Tsk. This guy!" She commented in disdain.
She also discovered that Mohammed Alif had a habit of playing with the female slaves and then after he was tired of them, they would vanish somewhere no one could find.
"You people sure waiting for a good beating." Mu Lan commented.
She also got some news about the people who were related to them. It looked like the second prince and Mohammed Akram were conspiring against the Crown Prince; and here all of them knew that the Crown Prince and Mohammed Akram were friends.
She finally found a file about the virus he created and how much money he made. There was also information about Professor Ryuren and his works.
"Gosh! My father is a genius! No wonder I got his talented brain." She felt very proud.
Then, there was a news of the explosion.
"So, you are the one who killed my father. Akram, you better.....
