870 MY FAMILY COMES FIRS
Li Shen took one step forward and coldly asked Mu Lan, "Xiao Lan how dare you to hurt my mother?"
Mu Lan sneered. "And dare your mother to take my family away from me when I was only two? How dare she harm me in every way possible when I did nothing to her? How dare she?"
Mrs. Li screamed, "Xiao Shen! My son, save your mother!" She finally found hope. She was now desperate. She smiled secretly. 'Xiao Lan, you are dead meat. Now the man you love saw your vicious self. You cannot do anything. My son saw how heartless you are. From now on, he will hate you even more. You cannot do anything to get him back. He will never be yours no matter how hard you try, no matter how powerful you are.'
Li Shen eased his mother by saying, "Don't worry mother. I'll take you away from here" Then his eyes landed on Mu Lan and continued, "But first, I have some unsettled business with Xiao Lan."
Mu Lan was getting bored seeing this façade of the people who gave her pain. She asked nonchalantly, "How did you come here?"
Li Shen replied, "I tracked my mother's cell phone."
He was speaking the truth. His men were keeping eyes on his family members. They saw Mu Lan with Major Ru Xin in Shanghai and told him the news. Li Shen flew to Shanghai that very day though he had lots of work to do. However, he was stuck in Shanghai because of an accident that occurred in the company. Today, he heard that his mother and mother-in-law went to a certain location where Mu Lan went. After that, the boat his mother and mother-in-law took came back without its passengers. He immediately sent people to investigate it. But his men couldn't find the exact location using their boats because of Mu Lan's layer and Shin's technology. Li Shen felt something was amiss and used his personal chopper and rushed here.
'Of course, he did. Idiotic Shin, what is he doing? And why didn't Carl notify me earlier?' Mu Lan clicked her tongue in dissatisfaction.
Li Shen looked around and saw that disaster fell upon this island. There were dead snakes and uprooted trees and at the same time, there were large and deep holes where the tornado was. He was still shocked seeing what he experienced with his very own eyes. He still couldn't believe his eyes as he gazed at Mu Lan's red eyes
He asked, "Xiao Lan, what happened here? How come you turned into this?" His voice was calmer and softer than before. He was trying to coax Mu Lan.
However, Mu Lan saw through his tricks. She smirked. "Mr. Li, your plan won't work on me. If you really want to know the answer, you should ask your mother. I also wonder why she is here and used her pet snakes to try to kill me. I don't ever recall harming her anyway."
Li Shen stayed calm as much as possible. He looked directly at her red eyes and told her his reasons, "… Xiao Lan, you shouldn't talk like this. You must know better than anyone what your position is. Do you want to kill my mother because of your past grudge and become a fugitive? No one can save you in China after you kill my mother. I certainly won't help my mother's killer. You will have to rot in jail."
Mu Lan put her left palm under her right elbow and put her right palm on her right cheek. She slightly rubbed her cheek and nodded like an obedient girl. "I see, you are worried about me. But that's not necessary. First, I will kill your mother and then you and your guard. There won't be any witness left there, will there?" She smiled sweetly.
"…" Mrs. Li froze on the spot. 'What on earth is going on? Didn't she love my son? How come she wants to harm him?'
"…" Zhuang Lei's jaw dropped. She already realized that if Li Shen couldn't save her and Mrs. Li, she was as good as dead.
"Y-you!" Li Shen didn't know what to say. He never thought that one day she would want to kill him after putting her life to save him years ago. He felt numbness in his chest. He couldn't understand why she changed like that. 'Why did you become like this, Xiao Lan? Is it connected to your red eyes? I dream to be with you every night. If you act like this, I cannot save you. To me, my family comes first.'
He closed his eyes and at the same time, clenched his fists to calm himself and to control his emotions. After that, when he opened his eyes, they looked at her coldly just like before. However, this time, Mu Lan didn't flinch nor did she feel sad.
Li Shen said, "Enough is enough! Xiao Lan, because of you, my mother, we and Xiao Sheng suffered so much. Our childhood was nothing like it was supposed to be. My mother had to shed tears day and night. What right do you have to harm us for your personal grudge?"
Mu Lan raised her right eyebrow. "I have every right to harm you three for my personal grudge. If it weren't your mother's misdeeds, I would live with my family. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be in a coma for nine months. For your younger brother, I almost lost my children."
Upon hearing the last sentence, Li Shen's eyes grew wide. "W-what did you say?" His mind was in chaos. 'Children? What is that supposed to mean? Could it be, it's Xiao Sheng's? She was with him for months. Did they do it? I loved her so much, how dare she leave me and sleep with my younger brother?'
On the other hand, upon hearing the word 'children', Mrs. Li's eyes looked across Mu Lan, Li Shen, and the helicopter and gazed at the castle. A devilish smile formed in her pale lips.
