Chapter 180: Videotape
Quan Yu was surprised that the seemingly harmless Mo Li would resort to something like this. He pinched his fingers and crushed the device. I’ll have to be on more guard around this girl. Even though I’ve already sent people to check on her background, they found nothing on her. But things just don’t add up.
Huan Yu and Hong Yuan were opposite each other but their entrances sat on different streets. Therefore, the journey still took 8 minutes.
Inside Huan Yu’s lobby, when the front desk receptionist saw Quan Yu and Mo Li walk in, she immediately stopped them.
“Can you recognize me?” Mo Li asked the receptionist directly. She was Huan Yu’s biggest star. Nie Li once told Mo Li that she could have free access to any location at Huan Yu, expect for Zhan Hai’s office.
“Miss Mo, special assistant Nie isn’t in at the moment and neither is President Zhan…”
“What about He Sen? Did someone come to find him today?” Mo Li was certain it was a woman’s voice she heard in the recording but she was unfamiliar with the voice, she never heard it before.
Before the receptionist could answer, the door to Huan Yu opened again. A group of police officers walked in, they looked serious. Mo Li recognized the leading man, he was the Xiao Family’s pride, Xiao Rui. At the young age of 27, he was already the captain of the criminal investigation unit.
“Brother Xiao Rui.” Mo Li greeted him politely, however there was a hint of surprise in her eyes. On the way here, she didn’t call the police and neither did Quan Yu, so why would Xiao Rui appear at Huan Yu?
Xiao Rui was also shocked when he saw Mo Li. Even though he heard that there was a connection between the Young Miss of the Mo Family and Quan Yu, he was surprised to run into both of them during this mission. Speaking of, this mission was extremely curious. Xiao Rui had no idea what was the goal of the mission. His superior suddenly gave him order to come arrest the vice president of Huan Yu, He Sen.
Xiao Rui took a glance at Quan Yu who stood beside Mo Li. Even though Xiao Rui hadn’t interacted much with Mo Li, he had heard about Mo Li from his family. For the sake of her own safety, he hoped Mo Li would stay away from a man like Quan Yu. “If you have nothing to do here, Mo Li you need to head home.” Xiao Rui’s tone was direct and cold. This was a warning.
“Brother Xiao Rui, I work at this company.”
Quan Yu glared at Xiao Rui with dissatisfaction. The police had to intervene when they finally had some clues. It was like someone was purposely trying to stop his investigation.
“This case won’t end with He Sen! He’s not the mastermind.” Mo Li seemed to read Quan Yu’s mind. She whispered to him. Mo Li had interacted with He Sen before and Mo Li read him clearly. With He Sen’s intelligence, if he was part of this conspiracy, he was at the bottom of the pyramid. A man of his intellect couldn’t plan all these.
“Detective Xiao.” A familiar voice said. Everyone lifted their eyes. It was Nie Li! She was holding a videotape and looked very anxious. She might be able to fool others but both Quan Yu and Mo Li knew that this woman was acting. “I found this tape in Vice President He’s safe. The content inside may be helpful to the case.”
Mo Li studied Nie Li. This woman is such a mystery. Didn’t the receptionist say she isn’t at the company? Why did she show up at a time like this? Is she related to Zhuang Xin’s death?
“Where’s He Sen?” Xiao Rui asked in a low voice. Other than the approval of his superior, the reason Xiao Rui was able to sit at his position for so long was because he knew how the system worked. Sometimes, maneuvering the internal politics was harder than solving cases.
Xiao Rui wanted to take the tape back to the station and examine it in private but he knew that Quan Yu would not allow that. Xiao Rui’s superior had already told him before that if Young Master Quan had any demand, they had to do their best to satisfy him.
