Chapter 768: SEND A TEXT
Pedro and Carlo were on alert. The three of them stayed silent. They waited for something to happen or waited to hear something.
After a while, three of them sighed at the same time.
Carlo said helplessly, "This kid, really… why does she always have to do this?"
Pedro spoke, "She must have found something suspicious. She shouldn't have chosen the power of the wind. We are always at disadvantage because of her."
Osiris laid down again. "Now what? Call Juan. Only he will be able to stop her. She won't listen to us and will try to find out who The Mongoose are. We hid it from her for so long, we can't let them know of her existence. They think that she is dead, and it should remain that way forever."
Carlo took out his cell phone and sent a text to Juan. Since he was practicing his arts, Carlo usually wouldn't dare disturb him.
Pedro said, "One day or another, the truth will eventually come out and they will find her."
"We can't let that happen. We have to hide her for as long as we can." Carlo said.

Mu Lan smirked when she saw that the three of them were startled. Currently, she had nothing to do. She had slept through the whole day and she couldn't fall asleep anymore. She kept thinking about 'The Mongoose' and the 'Head Family' that the three Cobra members were talking about. She was surprised that she was with The Cobra for so long but knew nothing about their enemies. She realized how much The Cobra had shielded her from danger while she had always sought it out.
While she was thinking, Mu Liang's cell phone located on the table started to vibrate. Mu Lan used her power to bring it to her. Looking at the screen, 'Father' flashed across it.
It was Mu Jin.
'Wasn't he at the hospital? Maybe there's some news about grandfather.' Thinking that, Mu Lan answered the call. "Hello?"
Mu Jin called out, "Xiao Liang… eh… who are you?"
Mu Lan spoke in a hush tone, "It's me, Xiao Lan, Father-in-Law. How are you doing?" She didn't want to wake Mu Liang up since he was dead tired.
Mu Jin was startled at first, but quickly regained his composure. "X-Xiao Lan! Oh, I'm good. Where is Xiao Liang?"
Mu Lan replied, "He is sleeping. How's grandfather?"
Mu Jin said, "Ah, yes, about that, the doctor said that his health is stable now. He can return to the castle in a week. Please let Xiao Liang and the others know about it."
Mu Lan agreed. "This is good news. I will let the others know in the morning. How's Noel? I heard that both grandfather and Noel are at the same hospital."
She heard him saying, "Yes, you heard it right. He is doing fine now. But he'll need a month to recover."
"As long as they come back safe and sound, that's all matters right now." Mu Lan said. She was relieved to hear Noel's condition.
"You are right." Mu Jin remembered something and continued, "Oh, I heard that you had a fever… How are you now?"
Mu Lan replied, "I've recovered."
"You'll still need to rest more. I'll hang up now. Get some rest. Goodnight." Bidding her a good night, Mu Jin hung up. He was sitting on a couch in the hospital corridor. He sighed and closed his eyes. He was so tired after travelling and not being able to rest after his journey.
A stranger walked into the corridor and saw Mu Jin. He paused before walking closer. He began to speak politely, "Excuse me, are you Mr. Mu?"
Mu Jin opened his eyes. "Yes, I am and you are?"
The stranger introduced himself, "I'm Li Shen from the Li Corporation in Shanghai."
Mu Jin recalled something about Li Corporation. "Oh, I think I've heard about the Li Corporation before. A long time ago… I cannot remember… So why are you here?"
Li Shen replied, "My wife had an accident and had to have plastic surgery. The Lu Family Hospital has the developed technology, so I've brought my wife here."
Mu Jin sympathized. "I'm so sorry to hear it. How's she now? Oh, please have a seat."
Li Shen smiled lightly and sat down. "Thank you. She is doing fine now." He looked relieved and tired. But in his heart, he felt nothing for his wife.
Mu Jin also smiled. "That's good to hear."
Li Shen continued the conversation. He said, "If I'm not bothering you too much, I've heard that your father, the Elder of the Mu Family has been hospitalized here. How's he?"
Mu Jin replied, "It's not a bothered at all. I would like to have the company. My father is doing better. His health is stable."
Li Shen calmly said, "All thanks to the Almighty. I've also met your eldest son, he was with a woman, she said that she was married to him. I was surprised to hear that. I hadn't heard anything about him getting married."
Mu Jin said, "Oh, you are talking about Xiao Lan? She and my son are lovers. They will get married after she finishes her studies." He smiled as he thought about his son getting married.
Li Shen clenched his fists. He didn't reveal his irritation and hatred. He said in a friendly tone, "…Is that so… I hope I will get an invitation."
Mu Jin agreed. "Sure. I will let you know."
"Then, I will go back to my wife. Good night." Li Shen stood up walked towards the direction he came from. His eyes were as sharp as a sword. 'There is no way I will let them get married. I will kill Mu Liang if I have to.' He promised himself.

The next day, Mu Liang and Mu Lan's beauty sleep was disturbed by a certain someone.
Someone barged into the study room and yelled at Mu Liang. "Devil brat! How dare you crush my lovely daughter under your demonic body. Let her go!"
Apparently, last night, after Mu Liang fell asleep, Mu Lan cuddled into him and slept just like that. Thus, her body was under his heavy body and his face was on her bosom as he embraced her tightly as he slept.
