Chapter 245 - Another Death

Even Lu Xian said he was 60 percent confident, just how capable is Mo Li to say that she is 80 percent confident? If she's telling the truth, why not give her a chance? Perhaps she can really perform a miracle.

Mo Li flipped through the medical books. Even though she was not 100 percent confident, she felt it was worth a try. If she succeeded, she'd be making a big contribution to the field of human medicine.

...

Qiao Qing pushed Mo Zheng upstairs. Her mind was muddled.

What am I supposed to do now? I've heard nothing from Xiao Yue, the plan she proposed appeared to have failed.

Mo Zheng was a very sensitive person. He immediately sensed that Qiao Qing was not in a good mood. He a.s.sumed that it was because she was scolded by Mo Yun, but in reality, Qiao Qing was plotting how to deal with Mo Li.

"Big brother is always stern with his words. Don't you mind him." Mo Zheng felt bad for her. Qiao Qing had been misunderstood by his family. Earlier, when Qiao Qing tried to explain that she didn't mean to frame Mo Li, no one believed her. Qiao Qing had to kneel in the rain before their parents forgave her. When he wanted to move home and thus forcing Mo Li out, his family vented some frustration on Qiao Qing too. On top of that, Mo Zheng noticed that Mo Yun had been unfairly targeting Qiao Qing lately.

"It's fine, Brother Zheng, I'm sure they'll understand my intention soon enough. They only care too much about you."

Mo Zheng shook his head. If Mo Li was half as sensible as Qiao Qing, things wouldn't develop to this stage. Mo Zheng had already apologized to her but she didn't seem like she was ready to forgive him. However, instead of quarreling with him, Mo Li treated him instead like air. Honestly, the home felt a lot lonelier because of it.

...

Mo Li hadn't been back to school for so long that when she saw Qiao Qing and the driver waiting at the front door, she was momentarily stunned.

"Mo Li, it's been a long time since we last went to school together." Qiao Qing observed Mo Li from the rearview mirror, her tone was very endearing. Qiao Qing was very worried that Mo Li had found out about the plot between her and Xiao Yue. If Mo Li exposed her, she would definitely be kicked out from the Mo Family this time. However, based on Qiao Qing's observation, Mo Li didn't seem to know anything about Xiao Yue's plan. Then who was the person who sent the photo to Chen Suo?

Also Chen Suo was so angry that day, but nothing was heard from him again. Things were just too strange.

"Hmm." Mo Li replied nonchalantly. She didn't want to continue the conversation.

Back at school, many people were waiting for Mo Li to fail. Mo Li had been skipping cla.s.ses and the monthly exam was coming. They were certain that Mo Li would fail this time. However, Mo Li couldn't care less about her results. The questions were such child's play that she didn't even try hard to answer them.

After Mo Li finished the English exam, Old Crone Sun stood gloomily at the cla.s.sroom door and summoned Mo Li.

Mo Li walked out the door and was surprised to see Xiao Rui.

The case is already over, so where is he here? Is there a new case? But why would he come to me?

"Headmaster Shen has confessed. Lin Jing is Meng Qin's daughter. Meng Qin had Lin Jing out of wedlock and she didn't have the resource to raise her so she begged Headmaster Shen to help her. Because Headmaster Shen is infertile, she gladly took Lin Jing on as her daughter."

Old Crone Sun was confused. Xiao Rui shot a glance at her and the old crone immediately shuffled away.

"I doubt you come to find me because of this." Mo Li stared at Xiao Rui. Since Mo Li was so direct, Xiao Rui stopped talking in circles. He took out a file and handed it to Mo Li.

"The current Chairman of the White Pine Group was killed with a Chinese torture method called Dian Tian Deng at his own office."

Mo Li looked at Xiao Rui in confusion, "But what does that have to do with me? Shouldn't you be out solving the case instead of being here?"

Xiao Rui sighed, "The chairman used to be Zhan Hai's personal secretary."

Mo Li's expression changed immediately.

Why does everything have to do with Huan Yu?

"Is it Flower Appraisal again?" Mo Li looked at Xiao Rui but she didn't get a concrete answer.

"There's no telling just yet but..." Xiao Rui took out a picture.. It was taken at the crime scene. It was a shot of the chairman's office table and the drawer contained Mo Li's picture!
