The Side Character's Hidden Boss!

He’s familiar with all sides of her? Does that mean… Everyone stopped what they were doing and turned towards the duo. The canteen was so quiet one could hear a pin drop. Lu Qin’s hands trembled as she listened to the two’s conversation.

Actually after Lu Qin found out that Quan Yu had moved to Pearl River, she did send people to watch over him. The reports did mention Mo Li at times but since she was only just a high school girl, Lu Qin didn’t see her as a threat. However, the report didn’t mention that Mo Li was so pretty and she’d be favored by Lin Qi to participate in this free clinic mission even though she was just a minor.

Mo Li was stunned when she heard Quan Yu utter that ambiguous statement. She groaned internally. Is this man doing this on purpose for the others to get the wrong idea? Mo Li quickly adjusted her emotions and met Quan Yu’s eyes. “Mr. Quan, if you have time, why don’t you sit down and share a meal with us?”

Seeing Mo Li’s insistence to continue this charade, Quan Yu wanted to say something but the words were stuck in his throat. The girl really cares so little about her life? In that case, I’ll have to keep her safe then.

Just as everyone else was gauging these two’s relationship, Lin Qi’s laughter rang out at the entrance of the canteen, “Ha ha, girlie, you’re truly fearless! I was so worried when I watched you through the drone!”

Lin Qi led Lin Mu to hurry towards Mo Li. He didn’t even notice Lu Qin. He forgot that his old friend had requested his help to look after his daughter. Lin Qi headed towards Mo Li.

The nurses who sat with Mo Li instantly understood something and vacated the seats for Quan Yu and Lin Qi.

“What are you doing here?” Mo Li asked Quan Yu, she still had no idea why he was there. Lin Qi and Quan Yu shared a look but neither of them said anything as if the reason for Quan Yu being there couldn’t be explained in public. Since that was the case, Mo Li didn’t press. After all, if it involved Quan Yu, it wouldn’t be anything good.

“After your meal, you should have Lin Mu bring you around the base. I’m sure there are many things for you youngsters to talk about.” Lin Qi nudged his grandson. He was very satisfied with this granddaughter-in-law.

Quan Yu turned to the old man and growled internally. This old man sure is shameless. We’ve agreed on a fair competition but here he is creating chances for his grandson.

“Tomorrow morning, we’ll set up a free clinic at the base to help the troops stationed nearby. If there’s no accident, you’ll return to Pearl River in a week.” Mo Li nodded. Lu Xuan had briefed her about this so she had already made all the necessary preparations before coming.

“Uncle Lin, Brother Lu.” Lu Qin walked towards them. Her expression was friendly. She stopped beside Quan Yu. Only then Quan Yu realized Lu Qin was there. “You’re here too. You need to take care of your safety.”

Honestly, Quan Yu didn’t have any special feeling towards Lu Qin. He didn’t even see her as a sister. He only talked to her because their families knew each other.

But in Lu Qin’s eyes, everything was different. When Quan Yu was talking to Mo Li, his expression was so severe but when he turned to her, Quan Yu’s mood softened. This meant that in Quan Yu’s heart, she was placed higher than Mo Li. With that in mind, Lu Qin sighed in relief.

Qin Xuan almost had gastritis sitting there. Why are people so stubborn at times? They could have said the things on their minds directly but they just refuse to.

For example, this female doctor clearly has a different idea than what is really happening.

…

The next day, the first ray of sunlight woke up the sleeping city at 5 am. The medical staff also roused from it.

All the medical staff had been in a meeting until 3 am yesterday night, planning the rough outline for this free clinic mission. Of course, Lu Qin and her team were absent. She wasn’t part of the free clinic doctors, they only served the superiors.

The volunteer doctors busied themselves until 5.30 am before the team led by Mo Li readied their stuff. Then they split into 2 groups. One group would stay at the base to offer medical service to the soldiers stationed there, while the other group would travel deeper into the border.

After they were done, the 2 groups would reconvene to travel to a small city near the border which was recently hit by an earthquake. There were civilians who needed medical help.
