Chapter 599 I SWEAR I WILL MAKE YOU PAY

Jonah went to the hotel and took off his clothes and bathed. After that, he walked to the balcony, phone to his ear, and dialed a number .
Someone answered the call. "Did you do what I told you to do?"
Jonah answered with loath in his voice, "I did everything you asked me to do. Now let her go."
"We mean no harm. As long as Mu Liang goes to Saudi Arabia, your girlfriend will be just fine." The person from the other side said.
Jonah gritted his teeth. "So, you won't let my girlfriend go as long as Mu Liang doesn't go."
"That's correct." The unknown man said.
Jonah was quiet for a few seconds. Then he spoke, "Let me talk to my girlfriend. I want to know if she is okay."
"Hold on." The man calmly said.
A few moments later a girl answered, "Jonah?"
Hearing her voice, Jonah felt pain in his heart. "Meili? How are you doing? Did they do anything to you? Are you hurt?" He sounded restless.
Meili's eyes filled with tears upon hearing his voice after a whole week. She controlled herself and replied, "I'm fine. Don't worry about me. They didn't do anything to me. They let me stay in a grand hotel and I have never seen such glamour before. Jonah, what did they ask you to do? It's nothing scary is it?"
Jonah felt relieved to hear that she was okay. "You are fine, that's the most important thing. Don't worry about me either. I'm good. They didn't make me do any harm to others. I just had to act, nothing more to it."
Meili knew he was lying. She knew him better than anyone. She sobbed. "Jonah, I'm so sorry. You told me not to take this assignment, but I stubbornly did. I screwed up."
Jonah coaxed her. "It's alright, nothing bad happened. I'm fine, aren't I? But in future, you have to listen to me."
Meili nodded. "I will. I will listen to you from now on. Please be safe."
Jonah replied with a soft voice, "I'm safe, Meili. You need to be more careful. If you can, just get out of there."
"I tried but there is a problem. They are too cautious. There is a powerful explosive attached in the room. If I try to run away, it will go off, and the whole hotel will go down and me with it. There are many young couples and families here. I cannot harm them for my own selfishness." Meili gazed at the explosive which was placed discreetly in the corner of the ceiling.
They positioned the bomb there and told Meili about the danger. There was a sensor in every window, door and balcony. If she wanted to flee from here, the hotel and the people would perish. Not to mention that she herself would die the quickest before the others.
There was no one to watch her every move, but Meili didn't believe that. Every day, the waiter would give her whatever she wished for and aside from that there was no harm at all.
Jonah clenched his free hand. 'Those bas***ds!' He cursed them.
"Meili, do you have any idea where you are?" He asked her.
Meili said, "Yes, I'm in- ah!"
"Meili! Are you okay?" Jonah shouted into the cell phone's microphone.
"She is fine. She will be yours after you are done with your job, or else, her corpse will be fed to the street dogs." The man from before said that before hanging up.
"I swear if something happens to her, I will kill you all." Jonah promised to himself. He was angry and helpless at the same time.
He looked through his mobile contacts and found Mu Liang's number. He sent him a text.
------
At dawn, Mu Liang went to the bedroom and take a few hours' sleep. He already ordered his men to investigate Mohammed Akram and Jonah.
He laid down beside Mu Lan and at that time, he saw the bright light from his cell phone blinding his eyes. He readjusted his eyes to the light and saw that an unknown number had sent him a text.
'Brother-in-law, don't worry about my sister's safety. I will take good care of her. – Your brother-in-law'
Mu Liang turned off the cell phone.
He closed his eyes and wondered, 'It looks like he doesn't know the fact that Mohammed is after Lan. Also, he has no idea about the connection between Lan and The Cobra. More importantly, he doesn't know Lan's personality at all. Too bad that I saw through him.'
Jonah might be a good liar, but Mu Feng was a good actor. Since Mu Liang grew up with an actor and saw through his mischief, it wasn't hard for him to understand that Jonah was lying.
Mu Liang looked down at the girl beside him who was sleeping soundly. He hugged her close before falling asleep.
--------
The next day, Mu Liang was seated in his office alongside Mu Feng.
There was another person present, and that was the head of Mu Liang's espionage team. "Boss, there is nothing wrong with the document. Mohammed Akram is indeed related to some illegal businesses. He has been doing this for more than a decade. This was his first business. That's how he became rich all by himself. He also has some sort of connection with the Mexican mafia."
Mu Feng was alerted after hearing that.
Mu Liang's eyes shot at his younger brother.
Mu Feng stood up from his chair and said, "I need to look into some matters." Then he left.
Mu Liang glanced at the head of his espionage team. "And what about the man who entered my house last night?"
The man scratched his head before saying, "He vanished right after he left your house. I'm sorry that I still couldn't find him. And the other thing. The girls, Yu Weiwei and Yu Meili have been investigated. Yu Weiwei is currently ... "
