The Side Character’s Hidden Boss! - Chapter 328

Chapter 328: Xiao Rui was Attacked

“Xiao Kang, we’re the police, there’s no ghost in this world. You know that.” Xiao Liu looked at Kang Zhi who was almost sticking to him and he sighed.

“I, I know! I am a police officer after all. I will not be afraid of things like that… Brother Liu! Brother Liu! Something there just moved!” Kang Zhi saw something move and immediately jumped into Xiao Liu’s arms. If Xiao Rui was present, he would have plenty of things to say.

“That was just the wind blowing the curtain. Xiao Kang, it’s broad daylight, I doubt we’ll run into any ghosts.”

Xiao Liu put Kang Zhi down and patted his shoulders. Then they continued their work. Actually, when Xiao Liu was told he was supposed to follow Xiao Rui’s orders, he was unsatisfied because Xiao Rui was quite young. However, after some time together, Xiao Rui had to admit that Xiao Rui was capable.

“By the way, who is that Mo Li? I notice that your boss pays her a lot of attention! But she looks too young…” Xiao Liu began to see if he could get anything from Kang Zhi.

“Miss Mo Li is Pearl River’s genius girl and Huan Yu’s latest star. I’ll let you in on a little secret. If you ask me, I think my boss likes her but Mo Li is still underage so he hasn’t made his move.”

Xiao Liu glanced at Kang Zhi. He was surprised that the man was such a gossip. He was about to say something when he saw a shadow. “Who is there? Stop!”

Xiao Liu and Kang Zhi ran towards the suspicious person. But when they turned the corner, the person disappeared. Xiao Liu was an experienced officer. He returned to the room where they just exited. As he expected, the mirror that tested for alkaline earlier had been wiped clean.

“Brother Kang, who was that?”

“Someone who came to ruin the evidence. We need to report this to Captain Xiao.” Just as they pondered over the identity of the mystery man, they heard a loud crash. Xiao Liu and Kang Zhi immediately ran out. They saw Mo Li, Lu Xuan, and the other officers riding on a speedboat to save someone who had fallen into the ocean.

“Don’t worry, teacher. This kid’s skull is thicker than normal. I suspect he might have some minor concussion and nothing else. He’ll be saved once we get him onto the surface.” Lu Xuan consoled Mo Li.

“What happened?”

“The boss saw someone run out from the yacht and they jumped on a boat trying to get away. The boss immediately drove a boat to give chase. However, all of a sudden, another boat came in from the side and capsized the boss’ boat…” Si Lin looked on worriedly as they fished Xiao Rui out from the ocean. As Lu Xuan expected, Xiao Rui suffered a minor concussion and some minor surface wounds.

Kang Zhi sighed in relief when Lu Xuan and Mo Li applied emergency rescue on Xiao Rui on the beach.

3 hours later, Xiao Rui sat up in bed.

“He he.” Xiao Rui smiled at Kang Zhi. This was extremely rare. Kang Zhi immediately shivered. “Doctor Lu, Mo Li, what’s wrong with the boss!”

Lu Xuan glanced at Xiao Rui. “Nothing’s wrong with him. He’s still coming down from the anesthetic and he was dazed from the concussion. He shouldn’t be sitting up.” Lu Xuan moved to push Xiao Rui back down into the bed.

Mo Li looked at Xiao Rui. The man already has existing PTSD, I wonder if this will exacerbate his condition.

“By the way, Mo Li, there’s something strange.” Si Lin told Mo Li. “I can swear that our boss’ boat has lit up with red alarm when he chased after the mysterious person. However, the people from the boat that crashed into the boss claim that they swore they didn’t see the red alarm. They said the boss’ boat was showing a green light. It doesn’t make sense.”

“It does. Someone doesn’t want us to look further into this case. Find some reliable people to guard over Xiao Rui, we mustn’t let any strangers come near him.” Mo Li then added, “Tell everyone to stop using phones and instead swap to walkie-talkie for communication. Get the technical department to collect data from all the phones. Everyone else, come to the crime scene with me!”

Kang Zhi looked at Mo Li with admiration. When will I acquire this impressive presence?

Mo Li rode the small boat and arrived at the spot of collision for the 2 boats.

“The police has been deployed to guard boss’ tent. Brother Xiao Liu has selected trustworthy people. They will work 3 shifts and guard the tent for all 24 hours.

“Chief Li has spoken to the local chief. This matter is very serious. They have mobilized more officers to send to the island to improve security.”
