Chapter 636: LEAVING THE CITY
"They are following us." She told Mu Liang.
"I can see that." Mu Liang gritted his teeth. "Sit tightly. Put on the seatbelt around you."
"Okay." Mu Lan obediently followed his instruction.
The car left the residential area and went to the main road.
Mu Liang said, "We are going to the highway. Hold on!"
Mu Lan frowned. "Is this a good idea?"
With his power, it wouldn't be a problem for Mohammed Akram to ambush them on the road.
Mu Liang gritted his teeth and said, "We have no other choice."
Mu Lan stopped talking. She believed in his decision. It was nerve wracking. But she enjoyed it. She spoke, "There are two cars following us now."
Mu Liang looked at the rearview mirror and saw two white cars. Another white car joined them after that. He calmly glanced at the front and drove faster.
"We are going to break the traffic law." Mu Lan said,
"Just wait." Mu Liang said.
He passed several cars. After some time, he slowed the car and let those cars close to them. One car passed them and stopped. When they tried to corner them from all sides, Mu Liang turned the car to the narrow lane all of a sudden making those who were after them dumbfounded. When they began following them, Mu Liang's car was nowhere to be found.
"Where is the car?" Someone shouted.
Another one answered, "Don't know."
One of them said, "We lost them."
"What we are going to answer to the master?" Another one asked.
No one could reply.
Someone else roared. "Look for the car! We must find them and bring them back."
Meanwhile, Mu Liang took several turns before stopping before the subway.
He said, "I just bought us some minutes. Let's go."
He unbuckled his seatbelt and so did Mu Lan. Them came out of the car and went inside the subway.
They came in front of the map and looked at it attentively.
"What's your plan?" Mu Lan asked.
Mu Liang looked through the map. "Since Riyadh is close to the east, Akram will think that we are heading towards the Persian Gulf. It's close to the border. In the sea, he has no power. So, we will take the west to the Red Sea. But we can't go there through subway. We have to cross the desert. There are two ways. We can take the train or the camel. If we take train it will be a risk. But if we take the camel it will be painful and will waste time. We will take the risk and take the train. But not now. We will go to another city to stay low."
"Which city?" Mu Lan asked.
Mu Liang already bought the tickets and waited for the next metro train. "Buraydah; in the north. But close to our destination."
Mu Lan nodded. She gazed at the entrance and said, "They are here."
"Our transport is here too." Mu Liang said.
The metro train came and stopped. Aftr some people left, the other began to enter. Mu Lan saw that some of those people also entered. She bit her lower lip.
The metro train began to move. Both of them knew that those men would search the whole metro train to look for them. But the couple calmly stood there.
They saw those men again. They were searching every man and checking if they were Mu Liang and Mu Lan. They were coming closer and closer.
Mu Lan's nerve tightened and blood was boiling in excitement. The more they came closer the more her eyes flashed. She prepared herself to fight them.
Soon they were near, however, at that time, Mu Liang tugged her sleeve. She looked up and saw that they were already in their destination.
Mu Lan obediently followed him as he left the train.
But someone grabbed her shoulder.
"Wait a second." A grumpy voice said.
Mu Liang and Mu Lan both turned around smoothly, not making anyone suspicious. They saw a tall Arabian man looking at them crudely. He was one of those spies.
"What are you doing? Let go." Mu Liang coldly asked.
Mu Lan showed a scared face and got closer to him.
"Who are you?" That man asked Mu Lan. His eyes were vicious.
Mu Lan couldn't take his glare and started crying loudly. She gabbed Mu Liang tightly and screamed, "Daddy, daddy, he is scary."
Mu Liang "…"
That man: "…"
Surely, Mu Lan didn't know how to speak Arabian. However, she looked through the internet when she was in the car and learnt some basic to come over some situation like that.
Mu Liang was deeply agonized. 'Out of all thing, you have you make me your father. And you have the most fathers in this world. You have to make me the fifteenth father. Really?'
The people around them looked at them and begun whispering.
The spy became perplexed. He asked Mu Liang, "Is that you son? Then why is he wearing oversized clothes?" He was still doubtful.
Mu Lan couldn't understand him, but M Liang did. He, who never lied, remained silent. But his eyes were as sharp as a knife.
Mu Lan screamed at the people surrounding them. "Please help. This man is an alcoholic. He always asks for money to my dad just because they are friends. Please help!"
The people around them became agitated. In this country, alcohol was a forbidden drink. For them drinking alcohol was a great sin. And there was a man who drank alcohol and asking for money in the broad daylight.
That guy got some nerve!
The public was angry and shouting at him. That man was totally stunned. He didn't know what to do. He was nervously shaking his hands and was saying, "I'm not. I'm not. This kid is lying."
But the people didn't heed to his words. They began the beat him in the in the middle of the street.
Getting an opportunity, Mu Liang grabbed Mu Lan's wrist and came out of the place.
