Chapter 203: Experiment
Mo Li even suspected that Mother Wei’s first reaction after hearing about her daughter’s death was not sadness but how to use her death to increase the share value of the Wei Family.
“That’s the killer! She’s standing right there!” Mother Wei spotted Mo Li with her eyes and then pointed at her. “Her name is Mo Li. She managed to get the gold medal in the IMO because she cheated. If she didn’t challenge our Lan Lan, my daughter wouldn’t have stayed at Pearl River! This is all her fault, she’s the reason my Lan Lan is dead. My reporter friends, you have to investigate this further to return justice to my Lan Lan!”
Well, that’s an interesting story.
The reporters initially wanted to snap pictures when they saw Mo Li walk out with the police. However, they quickly put their cameras down when they remembered the Mo Family’s warning.
“You see, the girl is being escorted by the police! She has to be the killer! Why aren’t you taking her pictures?!” Mother Wei howled with desperation.?If Wei Lan is still alive, she would end up greater than Mo Li but now? All the glory that should belong to Wei Lan would go to Mo Li and her whore of a mother!
“Erm… Mrs. Wei, are you sure this case is related to Miss Mo Li?”
“That’s right, Miss Mo Li doesn’t look like a killer…”
“Plus, Miss Mo Li is at the hospital to visit Miss Qiao Qing so Mrs. Wei, you have gotten the wrong idea.”
Mother Wei’s face was colored with disbelief when she heard these reporters finding excuses for Mo Li.
“Have you people lost your mind? This is your exclusive! The killer is in police custody! This is the source of your clicks and readership!” Mother Wei was so angry she stomped her feet, she looked quite comical.
The reporters naturally knew the validity in Mrs. Wei’s claims. Mo Li would definitely bring them clicks but that was not more important than their lives. What Mother Wei didn’t know was all the media companies at Pearl River had been bought by Mo Yun. Mo Yun did this without the knowledge of his family.
When he became the shareholders, he only had one order. If there was any article involving Mo Li, he would have to screen them before they could be printed. In the past, there was involved a fearless reporter who wrote an unflattering article on Mo Li and handed it to Mo Yun. The next day, the reporter was blackballed in the industry.
So instead of using Mo Li to create fake news to harm her name, the reporters understood it was better for their career if they wrote more positive articles on Mo Li. Perhaps Mo Yun would be kind enough to reward them with more bonuses. With that in mind, all the reporters coughed and pretended to not hear Mother Wei.
“What about you people? You paparazzi rely on such news to survive, right? Take her picture, I want the news to be the headlines tomorrow morning!” The man grabbed by Mother Wei struggled hard. “Mrs. Wei, please don’t make this difficult for me. You know that we’re just a small publication, so small that CEO Mo didn’t even think about investing in us. If I do what you said, our publication will be squashed tomorrow.”
The people in the car heard the commotion clearly. Kang Zhi and Si Lin exchanged a look. They didn’t expect Mo Li to have such a powerful family background. As public servants, they rarely read gossip papers, so they didn’t know Mo Li’s true identity. They assumed she was just Lu Xuan’s special assistant.
Lu Xuan waved at Mo Li and Xiao Rui from inside the car.
“I can’t say that I’m surprised, you always need others to bow down to you…” Xiao Rui began sardonically, but before he could finish, there was a loud pop.
“That’s a gunshot! Lie down!” Even though Xiao Rui didn’t like Mo Li, he needed to ensure her safety, so when he heard the sound, he instinctively pulled her into his arms.
He shielded Mo Li as they hurried towards the car. They crawled into the backseat and Xiao Rui unholstered his gun. “What was that…”
He thought the murderer had come to the hospital to try to fire at them. But then he saw a bottle of gushing cola in Mo Li’s hands.
“Cola?” Xiao Rui gasped in disbelief.
“That’s right, Cola and mentos.” Mo Li explained, “It’s simple science experiment. Put mentos into Cola, give it a shake and it can mimic the sound of a gunshot. Officer Xiao, what do you think?”
“What do I think? You motherfucker…” Xiao Rui looked even angrier than usual, as if some long-suppressed emotions were about to erupt at this moment.
“Calm down. The reporters are still out there.”
“What’s the point of this? Is it so fun to try to scare me?”
“I’m just trying to prove a hypothesis.”
Mo Li glanced at Xiao Rui. The original plot didn’t really explain why Xiao Rui would become so impressed by Qiao Qing.
