The Side Character’s Hidden Boss! Chapter 145 - Mystery

Chapter 145 - Mystery

"Is this the help that you said you could offer me on the set that day?"
"There will be a private casting party for a movie at a private villa tomorrow. If you're willing, I can give you my invitation."
After a long time, Zhuang Xin's voice finally could be heard, "That sounds like a fabulous idea!"
Just as Nie Li thought the deal was settled, Zhuang Xin continued, "But..." She asked pointedly, "If this chance is as fabulous as you painted it out to be, why didn't you reserve this opportunity for your own artist?"
In the surveillance room, Nie Li frowned. This woman sure knows how to look the gift house in the mouth.
Zhuang Xin pressed, "Anyway, who is this person you want me to meet?"
"He is the vice president of our company, He Sen."
"When did our company have a vice president? How come I've never heard of him?"
"As you should know, our company is a family business. Vice President He Sen is President Zhan Hai's younger brother of President Zhan Hai." Nie Li revealed the secret directly. "Unfortunately, the brothers don't share a good relationship. In fact, there is tension between them due to inheritance and asset disputes. Therefore, neither of them would bring up the other without reason."
Noting the suspicion in Zhuang Xin's eyes, Nie Li continued, "What I'm trying to say is that Vice President He should be able to help you accomplish your goal since he is the one handling all the movie and tv projects in our company.
"This is the most I can help you, the rest is up to you." Nie Li was like Circe, leading Zhuang Xin with her words.
After Zhuang Xin agreed, Nie Li immediately deleted all the recordings and surveillance footage from that day. The fewer people who knew about this, the better. She had also instructed Zhuang Xin to keep the matter to herself. In other words, other than Nie Li and Zhuang Xin, no one knew about this secret meeting. Therefore, Nie Li was unfazed because she knew the police had nothing on her.
Since Nie Li had an alibi, the police could only detain her for 48 hours at most. In addition, her company was already waiting to bail her out. These public servants couldn't do nothing to her.
Therefore, no one knew what Zhuang Xin did that day before her death.
...
Back on this side, Mo Li and the rest had returned to the hospital. She used the sanitizers to clean her hands.
Qin Xuan was secretly observing Mo Li. He discovered something interesting. Whenever Mo Li was in a conversation with someone, she would look straight into their eyes. She gave the other party a great amount of respect. There was an innocent sincerity about her...
"What are you looking at?!" Lu Xuan smacked Qin Xuan om the back of his head. He looked through his disciple's thoughts easily.
Has this young man gone mad? Is he so eager to die?
Lu Xuan warned, "If you don't want to be sent to the northern prison, I'd advise you to keep your eyes to yourself."
Qin Xuan smiled sheepishly. He did not expect his teacher to see through his thoughts so easily. He wondered if that meant Mo Li knew about his thoughts as well...
...
After doing some work, Mo Li took a break. Thankfully the hospital cafeteria was still open. Mo Li was so hungry she could eat a horse.
"Do you mind if I sit here?" Quan Yu asked politely as he sat down beside Mo Li with his tray of food.
