Chapter 498 LET'S STAR
In the end, he helplessly sighed. He said, "Fine, I'll practice with you, but, since I'll teach you how to protect yourself, I won't hold back. It's for your own good. I don't want to die by big brother's hand. So, sister Lan Lan, I will leave my life in your hand."
Mu Lan was speechless. "Why are you acting like you are going to the World War III?"
Mu Feng had a heart attack. 'What are you saying sis? If it's not war then why would I fear of losing my life? In the war, I can't even fight back!' He cried in his heart, but his eyes were dry.
Mu Lan politely took her legs down from Mu Liang's grasps. She said, "Stop exaggerating. Wait for me in the practice room. I'm going to change my dress." She walked passed both brothers and left the room.
Mu Feng glanced at his brother. "Doesn't sister Lan Lan has class today?"
Mu Liang got up from the sofa. "She was fired. Apparently, they didn't like her and gave her wrong lessons. If I didn't observed it today, we wouldn't find out. Fortunately, Xiao Lan took care of the whole situation in fifteen minutes."
Mu Feng frowned. "How did this teacher got the guts to do it? Or is she not the one, the whole group?" Seeing his brother's expression, Mu Feng got a clear idea. "Are they tired of living? That's unbelievable! Who would dare to go against Mu Family, unless…"
"Unless someone powerful is backing them up." Mu Liang looked at his brother. "I want you to look into this matter."
Mu Feng nodded. "I will. But sister Lan Lan can handle this simple thing by herself."
Mu Liang refused before he could blink. "She doesn't need to."
Mu Feng tried to make his big brother understand. "We won't be beside her all the time, you know. If you don't let her handle this little thing now, she cannot fight back in the future."
Mu Liang didn't get back from his word. "Like I said, she doesn't need to." He got out of the room leaving his brother alone.
Mu Feng sighed. "Impractical, but, alright." He realized that nothing would make Mu Liang change his mind. Only Mu Lan's scolding might help him realize that he as wrong. "Love is blind." Mu Feng commented as he walked out of the room.

Mu Feng was doing some exercise when Mu Lan entered the room wearing sports pants and a sports t-shirt.
"I'm ready bro." She was all fired up.
Mu Feng warned her. "Look, sis, I'm going to warn you. This is a real fight. Use all of your strength. Don't hold back. First, I will show you how to attack, that's when you will try to defend the way you want to. I'll teach you to attack professionally at first. Then, I will show you how you will defend the professional attack. Got it?"
Mu Lan attentively heard him and nodded obediently. "Got it."
Mu Feng said, "Okay, let's start."

Meanwhile, Mu Liang had a video conference. Afterwards, he got a call from Assistant Ju Long. He answered the call. "What?"
"Boss, did you have any personal grudge on Romano family?" Assistant Ju Long directly went to the business.
"Nothing happened between us." Mu Liang replied. "What's wrong?"
"Mr. Romano took off seven billion dollars from the Island project we have been working on." Assistant Ju Long nearly had a heart attack after he heard the news. He immediately called Mu Liang to let him know the situation.
Mu Liang frowned. He was prepared about it from the day of the engagement. But he had a thought that Mr. Romano would let him know at first. The whole thing was totally abrupt. It was as if the Romano Corporation wanted the destroy Mu Corporation by snatching the biggest ongoing project.
"How much time have we left before the program launch?" He asked coldly.
"Four days. Boss, if we can't get seven billion dollars, I'm afraid that we have to let go of this project." Assistant Ju Long didn't usually panic. But this time, he couldn't stop himself.
"We can't." Mu Liang immediately replied. "Forty thousand employees will lose their jobs if we do that. It will destroy the economical balance of the whole Europe."
Assistant Ju Long bit down his lip. He asked, "Then what will we do, boss? We don't have enough time. I already called several company before I called you. None of them was ready to take such huge project all of a sudden."
It was normal. An ongoing project, one of the largest company took out a huge sum of money. Other companies would be suspicious about the project and definitely wouldn't spent money on it.
Mu Liang calmly said, "Give me one day. I will take care of it."
"Okay boss." Assistant Ju Long replied. He believed in his boss. His boss would do the most extraordinary things out of blue shocking everyone.
However, seven billion in a day, it seemed almost impossible.
The Island Project was the largest and most expensive project the Mu Corporation and the Romano Corporation took together. Twenty three billion dollars were spent by the Mu Corporation and the Romano Corporation spent seven billion dollars on it. If the project was done for, the one who would be more affected was the Mu Corporation.
Mu Liang had money, there was no doubt about it. But, for a businessman to spend only his money in a large project like this was a foolish act.
That was Assistant Ju Long was worrying about. He couldn't help but curse the Romano Corporation.
Maybe the Romano Corporation was planning on it before they became the partner with Mu Corporation in this project. They must be trying to get in the top and wanted to harm the Mu Corporation. That's why, when the time came, without a notice, they terminated the partnership. That way, Mu Corporation would doom.
What would Mu Liang do now?
