Chapter 211 - Elder Lin’s Request

Mo Li wanted to continue the investigation on her own. Her plan was to talk to the auntie who sold the blood cakes but Lu Xuan told her that Xiao Rui had taken the auntie to the station.

Mo Li's investigation was truncated. Instead of just standing around, she decided to return to the hospital. Perhaps Qiao Qing had already woken up, Mo Li really wanted to know why Wei Lan had gone to visit 22 High School that day.

When she arrived, Qiao Qing was already awake. Jiang Yao was seated beside her bed, feeding her home-cooked soup. "Qing Qing, why didn't you use the car we've provided for you? Next time, you shouldn't wander out on your own anymore. Look at Wei... You are lucky this time to have survived the ordeal. In the future, if you need to go somewhere, you have to notify the rest of the family or we will be so worried about you.."

Last time it was Mo Li and now it was Qiao Qing, the Mo Family only had 2 daughters. Jiang Yao worried about both of them.

Mo Yun stood by the bed and glanced at Qiao Qing. He also found out about the incident at 22 High School, however, he had no idea why Qiao Qing was involved.

Due to what happened earlier, he started to have suspicion regarding Qiao Qing. He mobilized his people to find out more about Qiao Qing's parents. His father said that Qiao Qing's parents died in an accident during company trip. However, when he did some digging, something just didn't add up. Mo Yun's face darkened when he thought about it.

If it was a simple accident, his people should be able to find the evidence easily. However, the problem was they couldn't find anything about the accident. It was like they had been wiped clean.

Why would someone do that if there wasn't something to hide? If they were truly innocent, why the fear of investigation? Mo Yun gave out a long sigh. His parents wouldn't believe him with the current evidence he had, he needed to look deeper into Qiao Qing.

"By the way, Ah Yun, isn't your little brother coming home soon?" Jiang Yao turned to Mo Yun suddenly.

Recently, only Mo Yun, Mo Zheng and Qiao Qing were home. Her second son was overseas to handle company business. They normally wouldn't meet more than a few times in a year. Jiang Yao was rather confounded that her second son would return to a house in this chaotic state.

"Brother Xiao is coming back?" Qiao Qing sat up in bed when she heard that Mo Xiao was coming back. The gears in her mind were already turning. Unlike the aloof Mo Yun and the naive Mo Zheng, Mo Xiao was the most unreadable of the 3 siblings.

He was handsome like his brothers but Mo Xiao was also very picky about everything. Furthermore, there was a natural sense of alienation that he radiated. He was like a pariah in his own family.

Mo Xiao showed little interest in females around him. He was a firm believer in single life, he would never settle down lest his freedom be impeded.

To borrow Mo Zheng's words, Mo Xiao could be quite neurotic at times. He rarely cared about the harm his actions could bring to others, the most important thing to him was himself. He was self-sufficient and confident to the point of narcissism.

His relations.h.i.+p with Mo Li was complicated, even Qiao Qing couldn't explain it. She couldn't tell if Mo Xiao liked or hated Mo Li. In fact, Qiao Qing couldn't even tell what Mo Xiao's impression of her was.

"Ol' Two has his own plan, he didn't tell me the purpose of his return." Mo Yun answered truthfully. At that moment, he noticed a shadow outside the door.

Mo Li actually arrived a long time ago, she merely didn't expect so many people to be there. She felt it would be rude to barge in.

With a whoosh, the door was pulled open. "How long are you going to stand there?"

Mo Yun's voice exploded above her head. Mo Li raised her head and met his eyes. Just as she was about to say something, Lu Xuan suddenly ran over.

"Teacher! Teacher Mo Li!"

Mo Li sighed helplessly when she heard that.

When have I agreed to be his teacher?

Lu Xuan looked anxious.

Is there a new body?

"There's some problems at border defense, they need reinforcement from our hospital. Elder Lin would be there in person and he expressed the desire for you to join him."

Even though Lu Xuan didn't spell it out, Mo Li understood this was a request she couldn't reject. After all, it was Elder Lin who vouched for her earlier.

Mo Li thought back to when Elder Zhang came to thank her after the case was closed. He was so appreciative. Mo Li's heart warmed.

"How long will we be there?" She needed to confirm the time first so she could asked the leave from school.

Before Lu Xuan could say anything, Mo Yun cut in, "When has a student's responsibility become more than studying hard?"
