The Side Character’s Hidden Boss! Chapter 95 - Old Job

Chapter 95 - Old Job

The doctors mobilized the whole resources at Pearl River before they found the suitable blood donor. The team of elite hurried to finish the surgeries.
Mo Li was fully ignored by Quan Yu.
Eventually the surgical room opened and someone was pushed out. Quan Yu rushed to the bedside and checked on the child's pale white face. Quan Yu looked remorseful.
Mo Li was shocked that someone would do such a thing to a boy so young. The boy's eyes were closed and his body was covered in wounds.
"Was this from a car accident?" Mo Li came to this conclusion after examining the wounds over the boy.
"Rou Rou." Quan Yu grabbed the boy's hand, trying to get his attention.
Mo Li patted his shoulder and said, "The anesthetic on the child hasn't worn off yet, there's still some time before he would respond to external stimuli. Let him go and rest in the ICU. He'll be fine, don't worry too much."
Quan Yu frowned. "Why is he still going to ICU? Did the doctors fail to save him?"
Mo Li explained, "No, I'm sure the doctors have done their best but based on the wounds I saw, the boy would have lost a lot of blood. The surgery was for blood transfusion. However, the boy is still too young. He might have a blood rejection reaction, so it is best for him to stay in ICU for observation throughout the night."
Noting how nervous Quan Yu was, Mo Li couldn't help but wonder if this boy was his child. For some strange reason, that thought caused her heart to turn slightly sour.
Strangely enough, even though Quan Yu was told the same thing by Doctor Lu Xuan before the blood transfusion operation, he only felt truly reassured after Mo Li explained to him the situation again.
Mo Li asked, "You didn't bring here just to observe the boy's injuries, do you? What do you need from me?"
Quan Yu stood up and then he gave out a long sigh. His energy seemed to leave his body in that moment and he looked even weaker than normal. Fatigue tried to overwhelm him but Quan Yu knew he couldn't fall. Quan Yu rubbed his throbbing temples and then nodded at Mo Li. "Since you can log into Sacred Heart's website, then you must know a thing or two about medicine."
Furthermore, Mo Li's professional observation earlier verified Quan Yu's suspicion. Quan Yu looked at Mo Li and he seemed to be able to see past the original Mo Li's shell and capture the real soul within.
Quan Yu knew it was illogical for someone at Mo Li's age to have the amount of knowledge he suspected her of having but somehow, he knew he could trust her. And Quan Yu had something important that he needed Mo Li's help with.
Without saying anything else, Quan Yu led Mo Li to an empty room.
"These are the tire tracks from the crime scene." He handed a stack of photos to Mo Li. Mo Li accepted them and studied them one by one. Trace analysis was her original profession. By studying the photos, she had already constructed the crime scene in her mind. "The offending vehicle probably sped to the scene and there were at least 3 victims."
...
Quan Yu nodded along to Mo Li's hypothesis. Quan Yu was on the second floor when the car accident happened and he saw everything.
Ah Zhong was carrying Qiu Shan's son and the speeding car frightened all 3 of them. Qiu Shan acted on instinct and pushed Ah Zhong away. The car rammed into Qiu Shan and the man was thrown into the air before he fell. Thankfully, his internal organs weren't shattered. Qiu Shan's head landed on the pavement and his blood was in one of the pictures.
Ah Zhong was pushed away and knocked into a flower pot. In the panic of the moment, Ah Zhong failed to keep his arms around the boy. Therefore, the kid was tossed into the air. He slammed heavily against the floor and rolled several times before he stopped. His body was heavily scratched.
Everything happened too suddenly. When Quan Yu rushed down from the second floor, the vehicle already left. The car had no license plate. All Quan Yu could tell was the car was a German Porsche 356A and it was black.
Quan Yu could only watch helplessly as the culprit who almost killed his people drive away. He felt useless. If he had a healthy body, he would have chased after the car!
Mo Li managed to reconstruct the crime scene just from the photos and that solidified Quan Yu's trust in her. Quan Yu stood up and led her down to a darker room. "I have already sent my people to look for that black car. The car was eventually found at Pearl River but the driver was found deep inside the mountain about 14 km away from where the car was. I don't have many people who I can trust at Pearl River, so..."
Quan Yu looked at Mo Li and he didn't know how to continue. Even though Mo Li had shown that she was more than she appeared, Quan Yu also couldn't get past the fact that she was just a high school girl. The favor that he needed from her was highly unusual but very important.
Mo Li knew what Quan Yu needed from her. She knew the moment Quan Yu led her to this place. She did not expect to take up her old job in this new reincarnation. But more importantly, she was surprised that Quan Yu would dare to place so much faith in her from just seeing her use the Sacred Heart website once.
Looking into the man's pained and self-recriminating eyes, Mo Li nodded and said, "Of course I will help you."
Then she walked into the morgue, not realizing the things that had fallen to the ground.
