Chapter 597 I NEED YOUR HELP
The intruder just opened a bottle of mango juice and seeing the light he froze on the spot. Then he heard a sound of a \'click\' which meant that someone turned off the safety catch of the pistol.
"Don\'t do anything. Slowly turn around." Mu Liang\'s cold voice could be heard.
The man in black clothes slowly turned around. As Mu Liang expected, the man had his face covered. However, his eyes were very familiar to Mu Liang.
"Now take off your mask. Don\'t think about doing anything unnecessary, or I will shoot you." Mu Liang warned him. His eyes were ruthless.
The intruder already gave up coming up with silly ideas. He steadily took off the mask.
Mu Liang\'s guess was right. Still he asked, "Who are you?"
The intruder smiled brightly and said, "Brother-in-law, I know that you know me already."
Mu Liang still didn\'t let his guard down. He knew that bright smile. It was the same as Mu Lan\'s who gave him this similar smile the first time they met. This particular bright smile meant that she was hiding something. Who knew that his cunning brother was the same as her?
\'Birds of a feather flock together.\' Mu Liang thought. He said, "This is the first time we meet."
"We do. Thank you for taking care of my sister." Jonah respectfully bowed ninety degrees. Then he added, "Can I sit down and drink the juice?"
Since Jonah acknowledged Mu Liang as his brother-in-law and thanked him for taking care of Mu Lan, Mu Liang agreed to let him sit. "Sure."
"You are generous, brother-in-law." After flattering Mu Liang, Jonah sat on the chair in a relaxed manner, took off the cap and then his gloves and opened the lid of the bottle.
When he finished drinking, Mu Liang asked, "Why are you here?"
"Can\'t I just come here to see my sister?" Jonah asked back.
Mu Liang sat on the opposite chair and replied, "Yes, you can. But for some reason, you never wanted to. But now that you came, you must have some hidden agenda."
Jonah didn\'t blink and stared hard at Mu Liang. "And why do you think so?"
Mu Liang didn\'t answer. He had no interest in telling Jonah about his mistake since only Mu Liang was capable of knowing the weakness of both siblings.
Jonah saw that Mu Liang didn\'t fall for his trap and sighed. "Brother-in-law, this is the first time we met and yet you are cold to me."
Mu Liang replied, "I wouldn\'t be if you didn\'t sneak in here."
Jonah scratched his head. "I guess I made a mistake."
"This is the last time I\'m going to ask you, why are you here?" There was a hidden warning in Mu Liang\'s tone.
Jonah tried to avoid his gaze. "You can be a little nicer, you know."
"I\'m a lot nicer to you than I am to my own brothers. I don\'t let them enter this house without my permission, let alone sit." Mu Liang said truthfully.
Last time, it was an accident when Mu Feng came inside the house. At that time, he played a trick. He knew that his big brother didn\'t like hugging anyone aside from his wifey Lan. So, Mu Feng pretended to hug his big brother. Mu Liang moved his body away in disgust and Mu Feng got the chance to enter as he pretended to fall on the floor.
Unfortunately, it was the first and last time he was able to trick Mu Liang to allow him to enter the house. Since Mu Liang knew his younger brother played a prank on him, he never let Mu Feng enter from then onwards.
Jonah had an idea of Mu Liang\'s behavior, so he didn\'t mind. He tried to flatter Mu Liang once more. "Then, I have to be really thankful to brother-in-law."
Mu Liang nodded. "If you want to be thankful then tell me your reason for coming here."
Jonah started buttering up, "...Brother-in-law, I know that you love Lanie the most and I\'m really happy about it. I know that I should have come faster and greet you properly with gifts, and I was planning to do so but certain things came up and now I came here like this because I didn\'t want Lanie to know about it..."
Mu Liang interrupted him. "Cut the formalities and tell me the reason. I will give you ten seconds. One... two... three..." He started counting.
\'What a good liar!\' Mu Liang thought.
Jonah came to the point. "I want you to go to Saudi Arabia."
"I won\'t." Mu Liang\'s answer was instant.
Jonah took a deep breath. It looked like he was prepared for it all along. "Brother-in-law, I lost two of my best friends after they went to Saudi Arabia to investigate Mohammed Akram. Please help me. I know you were invited because of the new contract. This news is everywhere. I got another news from Saudi Arabia that Mohammed Akram was trying to do something huge. That\'s the last thing I heard from the second deceased friend. If you go there, you will have the chance to examine the area and find clues to gather information. This time, please help me."
Mu Liang noticed that Jonah\'s fingers were turning white as he tried hard to control himself.
Mu Liang asked, "What were your friends investigating?"
Jonah looked at Mu Liang\'s eyes. His eyes were unwavering. "My friends were investigating women trafficking and slave trade."
Mu Liang\'s eyes narrowed. He tried to search for if Jonah was lying but failed to do so.
Mohammed Akram was a successful businessman. He got whatever he wanted whenever he wanted. One who had such glory and fame, why would he would do something horrible, it wasn\'t easy to understand.
Since Mu Liang had no clue about it, he wasn\'t ready to believe the person who he met for the first time no matter what his identity was. However, he couldn\'t deny the fact that Mohammed Akram was a man who could do anything for money.
