Chapter 837 - USETTLING FEELINGS
They ca out of the car and took Mu Lan to the twenty seventh floor. When they went inside the apartnt, only then her blindfold was taken off from her eyes. She opened her eyes and looked at the luxurious apartnt. She exclaid, "Wow! This is an excellent place. It's far better than the villa I was in. So, which floor are we on?" She pretended that she knew nothing.
"This is where I usually work. No one will co to disturb here." Li Sheng grinned at her. "So, rest assured."
Mu Lan halted at her step. 'Does that an not even Li Shen would be able to co here? That jerk only made my life harder after the mont I t him. He is a curse! And this jerk here is another curse. Nothing goes right as long as anyone deals with this guy.'
Li Sheng grabbed and pulled her in the furthest room. "You will stay here. What do you think?"
Mu Lan approved. The room was spacious and, in the middle, there was a king size bed. The windows were large and there was a balcony as well. The room was clearly decorated for a woman. It was like a woman lived here once. It was definitely not a prisoner.
Mu Lan curiously looked at Li Sheng. "Whose room was it?"
Li Sheng vaguely replied, "Not soone you know. You can stay here. No one will co to disturb you. If you need anything the guards will be outside your room. You can ask them."
Mu Lan nodded and then narrowed her eyes. "What's with your sudden hospitality? You are acting suspicious."
Li Sheng smirked. "I did tell you that I would give you a warm hospitality. I kept my word."
Mu Lan didn't believe him. But she did say anything else.
Li Sheng left before saying, "You can take a rest or a bath. Do whatever you want before lunch. But you can forget about escaping from here."
After she was left alone, she looked around. She scanned the whole room if there was any bug or surveillance caras and then went to the balcony to see if there was any way she could get out from here. She halted on her steps when she saw an invisible electric net covering the whole balcony. If she didn't have the power, she wouldn't notice it. No normal human could see this electric net. She could accidently harm herself.
She observed it carefully and then gulped down. "It looks new to . Could it be he recently made it for , so that no matter how I try I could never get out?"
She thought, 'It seems like a detailed work and it must have taken so ti to finish. Maybe this is the reason why he put in the villa first. After he found out about coming back to China, he made a plan and ordered his n to create this net and then he used a sniper to take care of Xue Lin and put on a tight spot so that I couldn't escape from his grasp. He took to the villa and kept there until his order was done and at the sa ti, he hid from Li Shen. Now, he took here it only ans that Xue Lin isn't in his grasp anymore. Or he didn't have to think of getting out of here. That an's Liang Liang took action. But he was late. Did Li Sheng stop the Europeans from communicating with the Chinese? That would be crazy! There must be another reason. Once again, it was proved that Li Sheng had sothing to do with The Mongoose. Without their amazing skill, it would be hard for him to create an invisible electric net in such a short ti. I must not use my power in front of him or his n. I don't know who The Mongoose are. They might hide their identities and work for him.'
While thinking she went back to the room and checked the closet. There were lots of good clothes there. She chose one and went to the bath for a shower. After shower she changed into the new clothes. It fitted her perfectly. At that ti the guards knocked on her door. "Miss, co out for lunch."
"I'll be right there." She said. She unlocked the door and ca out. One of the guards escorted her to the dining room. When she first ca here, she didn't have the ti to inspect. Now she looked around and agreed that it was an apartnt for a couple. But there were no pictures of a loving couple. She wondered, 'Could it be that Li Sheng's dead girlfriend lived here with him once? But in his territory, who would dare to kill her?'
She looked at the dining table that was full of delicious als. She asked in amazent, "Wow! What's the occasion?"
Li Sheng smiled. "It's your welco feast. You are my family after all."
Mu Lan sat down and said, "I don't see any family mbers. What kind of welco party is this?" The more she looked at his behavior, the more suspicious she beca. She gazed at the food and asked, "It's not poisoned. Is it?"
"Why don't you taste it yourself?" Li Sheng already started eating.
Mu Lan didn't try to be courteous. She slled the food before tasting a little. When she figured out that there was nothing wrong with the food, she ate in a relaxed manner. The als were of her taste. She ate more than she usually ate.
Li Sheng noticed it too. He couldn't help but comnt, "I didn't know that you were a glutton?"
"Because of you I couldn't eat well in the past two months. You dare to say that now! Hmf!" She took another big bite on the roasted chicken.
After lunch she asked, "Can I have so books to spend my ti?"
"Sure, you can. The opposite room of your bedroom is the library. You can go there with the guards. I'm going to work. Let's et at dinner ti." Li Sheng got up from his seat and left.
The whole afternoon, she spent her ti reading books. She was totally bored but she could do nothing about it. After she saw the invisible electric net, she was afraid of using her power to check what was going on outside. Most of all, she wanted to know what Li Sheng was plotting against her. But if she used her power, The Mongoose might find out about her identity and they would use it to capture The Cobra. And her thirteen daddies would jump blindly to rescue her.
Thinking all that, she sighed. The situation was calm before the storm. She felt restless. After dinner, she went back to her room. She was feeling sleepy after using ehr brain too much today. She yawned. She changed into a red nightgown and went to bed. At that mont, she found sothing was different about her room. She sniffed. "...What is this... sll? ...A... sweet... sll..." She couldn't keep her eyes open anymore and fell asleep.
