Chapter 619: BY ACCIDENT
While Mu Lan hid behind the pillar she heard some guards talking in a very low voice. She held her breath.
One man said, "It was a good thing that we have finished the task before the team came." His tone carried a sense of joy.
Mu Lan peeped and four men wearing completely black clothes. 'They are somewhat wearing assassin's uniform.' She thought to herself. She had seen the uniform of elite force of Mu Family who were mercenaries.
Another man said, "Yes, now all they will find is the dead body."
Someone else joined in the discussion. "We have to tell the master the Mu Liang is dead. We are getting more money this time." He grinned.
For a second, Mu Lan's head turned blank. Her eyes were open, but she couldn't see anything; her ears were in place, but she couldn't hear any sound; she had sense, but she couldn't feel anything. Her whole body trembled. She heart suddenly felt empty. She couldn't breathe properly.
The next moment, from deep inside her, a pure hatred burst out. Before she could realize what was happening, she came out behind of the pillar, followed those assassins.
Those were professional assassins. They felt chills and cautiously looked behind them; and found a gorgeous fairy coming at them with killing intent.
One assassin came forward to grab her, but she caught his wrist and twisted it.
"Argh!" The man cried out in pain and bent down while grabbing his wrist.
She didn't stop there. She circled her right leg around his left leg and forcefully pulled him. He fell down and twisted his neck by accident. With an odd sound, his neck was broken. As a result, he died.
Watching her so smoothly handling their partner, the other three assassins couldn't stay still. Another man came forward with a small knife and stroke at her.
Mu Lan swiftly moved away and kicked him aiming at his lower backbone. Her attack the firm.
"Huk!" This assassin was out of breath.
With a bone breaking sound, the man fell on the ground. The pain made his head blank. He couldn't control himself as his hand with the dagger moved under his body and the sharp blade pierced through his abdomen.
The last two men were scared at first to see a small beautiful woman finished their partners in a blink of an eye before they came at her together with knives in their hands.
While walking, she fell down on the floor all of sudden, and those two assassins accidentally hurt themselves as the knives pierced through each other's hearts.
Mu Lan moved away quickly to let them fall on the floor. She looked back and seeing the four dead bodies, her body shivered.
'D-did I just kill them? I killed them, didn't I? Wait, wait, wait… calm down! I didn't kill anyone. What I did was self-defense, I didn't kill anyone. They killed themselves by accident. Yes, by accident...' There was another thing that caught her mind. 'I didn't even touch them and they just died, how can they kill my Liang Liang with such sloppy skills?'
Just them she realized that she should have let at least one be alive to get some information. She really didn't know what came over her.
After she understood that she had done a terrible deed, she looked around and them left that place as soon as possible.
From the corner, Altan Yul was watching everything. He made sure that no one was there to witness anything. But the thing he witness, it made him shiver.
'Mother******! Did she really lose her memory? Just now she looked like an Asura! I really wish that after she get her memory back, she won't come at me.' He prayed to Lord Buddha and then followed after her.
Mu Lan went back to her guest room and searched her room thoroughly to look for bugs and cameras. When she found nothing, then she fell on the bed and sighed heavily.
'No, no... they cannot kill Liang Liang with such skill. He is alive. He has to be alive! He promised me a wedding! With Liang Liang's intelligent, these people definitely killed someone else. Or they were simply lying.' She gradually calmed down.
Noticing a presence, she said, "You can come out now."
Altan became visible and asked, "When did you give that cell phone to the maid? I clearly saw her rejecting your request."
Altan saw that before leaving the room for the party, Mu Lan wanted to give back the cell phone which was given to her, but the maids refused to take it. They said that she could have it as long as she was here.
But how could she let that piece of 'bug' be with her all the time?
"I left it in the party." Mu Lan simply answered.
"Good work." He gave her a thumb's up.
"Give me my laptop. I need to work on something." She said while sitting up.
Altan handed her the laptop. "You mean that you just attacked those mercenaries. It's fine. There was no camera in there."
"But I left the party and those people died. People will be suspicious. I can't risk my life right on the day I just arrived." She turned on the laptop and her Wi-Fi.
Just as Altan said, she really didn't need to worry about her alibi. Since it was Mohammed Akram's personal area, there was no hidden camera or guards. Even the maids rarely used that corridor. That's why Mu Lan easily handled those men without being watched. Feeing assured, she looked into the surveillance footage of the night when Mu Liang disappeared.
However, she couldn't. Someone deliberately deleted the footage. If she wanted she could get back the footage since it couldn't be permanently deleted.
After a while, Mu Lan frowned. There was no file about that night. It looked like someone permanently deleted the footage for real.
'Wait a second! What's going on? Who is capable of doing it?' Mu Lan felt rather envious. 'Did Mohammed Akram's team… but why would he do that? He could just save it somewhere else and besides our team hasn't arrived yet…..'
