Chapter 535 LET'S SEE WHO LAUGHS IN THE END
"You don't have much time left…." Mu Chen said.
Mr. Romano was quiet. He was still thinking whether he should take this chance or not.
Mu Chen called out, "Mr. Romano?"
Finally, Mr. Romano looked at him and replied, "I'm so sorry Mr. Mohammad Akram, I have to say 'no'." He gave an apologetic smile.
Mu Chen stared at him without any reaction. Then he gave him a smile. "Its fine, Mr. Romano. It's your wish whether you agree or not. I just hope that you won't regret it in future."
Mr. Romano said nothing but gave a polite smile in return.
After Mohammad Akram aka Mu Chen left, Mr. Romano frowned. For some reason, he couldn't believe that the richest man in the Middle East would come and meet him personally. Not only had he come personally, he also offered a great deal. At this time, Romano Corporation was verge to the end. Everything was so suspicious.
Mr. Romano wasn't a businessman for nothing. He was a cunning man who betrayed numerous business partners to climb up to the top. Even though his company was going down, he didn't lose his cool.
Without his assistant, he couldn't do certain things, but he had yet to lose his head. As long as his head was intact with his body, he would never go down.
The moment Mr. Romano heard about the deal, he had a doubt. He felt like it was a trap. After Mohammad Akram talked about Mu Corporation and said that after he would leave tonight, his secretary would give the deal to Mu Corporation, Mr. Romano was even more doubtful.
Why would Mohammad Akram go to him when his secretary would go to Mu Corporation in the end?
That's what Mr. Romano thought.
That's why he said 'no'.
However, after Mohammad Akram left, he had a tiny bit of regret. It was a good offer after all. But his heart didn't agree to deal with it.
Mr. Romano looked at the ceiling and let out a sigh. Then he took his mobile and dialed a number.
After the third ring, a man answered the call. "Who is it?" His tone was rough.
Mr. Romano answered in a low tone, "It's me, Romano."
"Oh, I know you. So what business do you have with me?" The rough tone didn't change after recognition of the caller, however, it turned into a crude one.
"I need your help. That is.." Mr. Romano told him everything one by one.
After hearing everything, the man spoke, "To make it come true, you have to pay a lot more. Are you sure that you want to do that?"
Mr. Romano didn't hesitate to answer, "Yes."
The man chuckled. "Then you must be very brave or utterly foolish."
"I don't care as long as I succeed this time. After this I will be unstoppable." Mr. Romano said.
The man laughed aloud. "Then we have a deal. Let's see who laughs in the end." Then he hung up.

Mu Chen aka Mohammad Akram went inside the car after leaving the Romano Corporation. Afterwards, he called Mu Liang.
"How was it?" Mu Liang answered the call and that's what he asked.
"First brother, he didn't fall for the trap." Mu Chen said dejectedly.
He came all the way to Italy from China only because Mu Feng called to work for him a little. All he had to do was to act like an Arabian rich man and to make Mr. Romano fall for his trap. However, to his surprise, his plan failed. He had thought that his acting was great, but who would have thought...
Mu Liang relied, "I understand. Come back safely."
"….Yes, first brother… I'm truly sorry." Mu Chen apologized.
"No, it's okay." Mu Liang hung up after that.
Mu Feng was sitting beside him. They were in Mu Liang's bedroom, taking care of unconscious Mu Lan. "He failed, huh? Just as you expected."
Mu Liang said, "Romano is a cunning businessman. He certainly doesn't do uncertain things. The best part is now that he doesn't have his assistant beside him."
Mu Feng agreed. He nodded and said, "You are right. That skully man did all the bad deeds on Romano's behalf. He deserved a painful death."
"Did you find out who killed him?" Mu Liang stroked mu Lan's head while asking.
"…Ah… the thing is… the satellite couldn't capture the scenario. It seemed like, someone deliberately hacked the satellite and deleted the footage. We can't find who did that and why no matter what." Mu Feng confusedly replied.
"You are saying that there is another genius hacker beside Xiao Lan. What is your guess?" Mu Liang's eyes were deep and unfathomable. No one could tell what he was thinking, not even Mu Feng.
Mu Feng scratched his nose and said, "Well, it's certainly not Romano's men. They aren't that good. Although they certainly have talents in IT Department, they are no match for sister Lan Lan. But the one who hacked and deleted the footage and then vanished without any track, this person is really powerful. I can't say if it is friend or foe since that invisible person or people literary saved sister Lan Lan but didn't show their true identity. However, since I don't know that person, I can't trust anyone."
Mu Liang replied, "You have a point. We can't trust that person at all. Stay sharp. I don't think that person is invisible. I have a feeling that the person is really close to us."
"A spy?" Mu Feng's eyes became sharper.
Mu Liang looked down at the woman who was sleeping without caring what was happing around her. He couldn't imagine what would happen to her if that invisible person didn't save her in time.
'I don't think so.' That's what he thought and didn't say it aloud.
Mu Feng suddenly remembered something. "Oh, I remember. It can be sister Lan Lan's brother. He never showed his face in front of us...
