While Xue Lin was being paranoid, Ge Chen went back to his study room. He kept remembering her shocked face and embarrassed expression. If he didn’t peep inside the room, he wouldn’t know that she felt that way. He smiled and his heart sang the song of spring.

  He sat on his chair and turned on the laptop. He got a notification. It was an email. He checked the email and downloaded the attachment. He read the document and his previous smile was wiped from his face. His eyes repeatedly went through the document to see if he missed anything. After reading for the fifth time, he called someone.

  After ringing three times, the person answered the call and his face became visible on the screen. "Don’t you sleep?" he asked.

  "I’ve few questions to ask you." Ge Chen went to the business straight away.

  Mu Liang arched his left eyebrow. "Is it about Lu Feng? We found him on the location you gave us. He cannot remember anything that happened." He seemed relaxed after finding Lu Feng.

  And it made Ge Chen suspicious. "Nothing at all?"

  Mu Liang shook his head. His lips subtly bent. "Not a single thread. But we know that he left his two subordinates in South America and secretly headed somewhere."

  Ge Chen pressed his hand on his cheek. "Does he remember where he was secretly heading?"

  "Unfortunately no." Mu Liang still answered negatively. He wished he could give his friend some information. But his hands were tied.

  Ge Chen questioned him further, "Did he say anything about the elixir he was looking for?"

  Mu Liang truthfully answered him, "He did. He said that there was a small notebook. He found the information there. Though he doesn’t remember what was in the notebook, he firmly said that it was the notebook that led him to somewhere dangerous."

  Ge Chen frowned. He pondered for a moment and then shared his thought, "Don’t you think he is hypnotized? There is no way he will forget about only specific things."

  Mu Liang also had this suspicion. So, he nodded, "……He is, I think."

  Ge Chen nodded and proposed, "I see…… why don’t you bring him here? My wife can treat him."

  Mu Liang said, "He had a rough journey and finally got back to his pregnant wife…… I don’t think it would be a good idea to scoop his memory." He looked reluctant for some reason.

  Ge Chen showed a surprised expression. "Are you not curious what caused him to go there and where did he actually go?"

  Mu Liang said, "Why wouldn’t I be? But his health comes first. He is my childhood friend."

  Ge Chen carefully looked at his friend’s expression and said, "Okay, I understand. Can you describe your journey when you and your fiancée went to Africa? You said that you were injured and stayed around Victoria Lake. If you were there, that means your fiancée was also with you."

  Mu Liang faintly smiled. "Yes, didn’t you get all the information from your men? They are supposed to be the best informants in the world."

  ’So, he finds it amusing.’ Ge Chen leaned back on his chair and said, "Don’t get me wrong. I just want to check something. You are saying that you had no connection with Mohammed Akram and his customers’ death, correct?"

  Mu Liang shook his head. "I had no connection. I had no clue about it when it happened."

  Ge Chen explained, "It wasn’t explosion that destroyed the building. My men found out that people inside the building suddenly lost connection with the outer world as if they were in another world. The windows of a specific room abruptly closed as if someone or something forced the windows to close. Before the so-called explosion, something terrible had happened inside that room. Some of the windows were covered in blood……"

  Mu Liang didn’t know the details how Mu Lan was awakened and how she played with and then killed those slave traders. His eyes glinted and he showed more interest. He praised his wife internally.

  Ge Chen noticed his expression and concluded, "You had no idea how he died, did you?"

  "I didn’t know the details." It was the truth. Mu Liang never lied. Ge Chen knew that but he felt like his friend was hiding something and it was related to all the questions he had in his head. "Are you hiding something?"

  Mu Liang asked him back, "What do you mean?"

  "Xiao Liang, your fiancée was in Cairo when they were killed." Ge Chen coolly dropped the bomb. "Even if you try to hide this fact, you can’t fool me. I have evidence.

  Mu Liang paused before saying, "Even if she was, I wouldn’t know because I was unconscious at that time."

  Ge Chen unhurriedly said, "But it doesn’t mean she doesn’t have a connection with their death."

  Mu Liang calmly asked, "Are you trying to say my wife killed them singlehandedly?"

  "She also disappeared from the Mu Castle and then suddenly Lu Feng showed up." Ge Chen sighed. "She is someone that we shouldn’t meddle with, is that it?"

  Though Ge Chen seek the truth, this is something he needs Mu Liang’s permission for, before pursuing because the truth is bound with his fiancée. He isn’t uncivilized enough to invade his friend’s privacy. Also, the snake symbol made it clear that she was connected with it. No one in the Mu Household could beat him in hacking. In addition to that, he saw Mu Lan’s ability before. He knows only one person could prevent him from hacking that night and that person was connected to that snake. And that person was Mu Lan. After all the evidence pointing at Mu Lan, there is no way Ge Chen won’t suspect her. All he wants is an affirmation from his friend.

  Mu Liang looked at his friend through the computer screen for a long time before sighing deeply. "I know you want to know something very important, but for your own good stop there. If you didn’t have a wife, I would tell you to continue to do whatever you want to, but you have a wife. Think of her and stop poking your nose here."
