The Side Character's Hidden Boss!

“Jia Han, don’t take it to heart, you know this is how she’s like. When she recovers, everything will go back to normal. Also help me tell Jing Jing that after her recovers, we’ll go shopping together.”

Jia Han grabbed his order and left. Lin Jing groused when Jia Han returned, “Jia Han, why did you take so long?”

“Jing Jing, I was talking to Yu Le. She’s over there, do you want to talk to her?”

“I don’t need her pity. Let’s go.” Jia Han then pushed Yu Le away in the wheelchair, leaving behind a dejected Yu Le.

“Hello student, may I take some of your time?” Kang Zhi was friendly and kind but in Yu Le’s eyes, she saw malice.

“Do you know Qiao Qing?”

“Of course I do. Qing Qing is my primary school classmate. We just saw each other yesterday.”

“Was she with someone else?”

“Hmm… Not yesterday, but the day before, I did see her come to our school with another girl. But only that other girl entered the school. Qing Qing waited outside the gate.”

“Is this her?” Kang Zhi took out a picture of Wei Lan. Due to the heavy rain, the traffic cam was ruined and it only had the footage from the 2 most recent days. Therefore they had to piece together the rest through interviews. As Yu Le studied the picture, Xiao Rui’s phone rang. “What? I knew she would do something like this!”

…

In the meeting room, the girl who was being questioned suddenly started panting. Her face paled.

“Hang in there, the inhaler is coming! I’m so sorry, we didn’t know this student has asthma.” Si Lin apologized profusely to Headmaster Shen who scolded, “I’ve agreed to help the police but I didn’t approve of you people bullying my students like this! What kind of officer are you? This is ludicrous!”

“Headmaster Shen, what happened?”

Headmaster Shen turned around and saw Xiao Rui. Headmaster Shen said angrily, “When I entered the door earlier, I saw your people question Shen Tong until her asthma acted up. You will hear a complaint from the school.”

“But she was perfectly fine earlier…” Si Lin had enough of the girl’s rambling so she thought to end the interview already but this happened at the last moment.

Mo Li felt an itch in her nose. She turned to Headmaster Shen and sneezed.

“The inhaler is here!” A student ran into the room. To everyone’s surprise, Mo Li stopped him.

“What are you doing? Do you want her to die?!” Xiao Rui roared at Mo Li.

“If she uses this inhaler, then she’ll really die.”

“You…” Xiao Rui’s vein was popping. He wanted to tear open her head to see what was wrong with her brain. Lu Xuan cut in and the doctor asked, “Do you mean there’s something wrong with the inhaler?”

“Not only that, something’s wrong with the timing of her asthma as well. But I can assure you Officer Si Lin has nothing to do with it.”

When Si Lin heard that, she did feel better but she still felt responsible. Mo Li continued, “I’ve already called the ambulance. So we need to vacate this room for the girl to breathe and calm down. Lu Xuan, stay to watch over her.”

They moved from the meeting room to the teacher’s lounge. When Lu Xuan arrived to join them, he announced, “Don’t worry, Shen Tong has been sent to the hospital. She’s recovering and I’ve sent the inhaler for analysis.”

Headmaster Shen then nodded and her frown lightened.

“What is going on? Why am I here?”

“I need to go back to man my milk tea stall…”

“I also want to know… Why are the both of us here, shouldn’t we be in class?”

“You’re here because you’re involved in this case.” Xiao Rui glanced at Mo Li. The girl had told him to gather these people and he did. Now he wanted to see what kind of trick she was up to.

“I already know who the murderer is.” Mo Li claimed calmly.

“You…” Xiao Rui clearly didn’t believe her.

“Wait, aren’t you a celebrity? When did you join the police force?” Headmaster Shen looked at Mo Li with an unfriendly expression. If not for Mo Li, their school would have won the IMO! She was still holding grudges from that. “I’m surprised that the law enforcement of our country has downgraded so much that even a starlet is allowed to get involved as she pleases.”
