The Side Character's Hidden Boss!

“You don’t mind?” Xiao Rui looked at Zhao Hongwei.

“Officer, for people like us, as long as we get paid, the boss can call us anything they like. Ha ha.” Ol’ Zhao scratched his neck awkwardly when he said that.

“According to the police report, you were the first person to discover the boy?”

“Yes, yes, yes!”

Xiao Rui raised his head to look at the person in front of him. “Where were you between 9:00 and 9:30 last night, and what were you doing?”

Ol’ Zhao quickly answered Xiao Rui because he was afraid that the police might suspect him. “I was in the first floor basement parking lot. In the morning, Secretary Yu said that the boss would go out around 9.30 pm so I was at the parking lot waiting for the boss.”

“Yes, I did call Mr. Zhao that day. I had him wait at the parking lot and then drive boss to the Pearl River Hotel.” Yu Xuan corroborated Ol’ Zhao’s story.

“But I waited until 9.45 pm and the boss was still nowhere to be seen. Secretary Yu didn’t answer my call so I waited until 10 pm. I assumed my service wasn’t required anymore so I left. Then the next morning, I came to work as usual and I went up the elevator. It was when I saw the boss…”

Xiao Rui glanced at Mr. Zhao and suddenly fired a sharp question, “Did you have any altercation with Dong Yun before?”

“No, of course not! The boss has always taken good care of me and my salary is not bad either. I can’t be more grateful of the boss, why would I have altercation with him?” Mr. Zhao’s expression shifted when he heard this question. He shook his hands vehemently. He suddenly glanced at Mo Li as if finding her familiar.

“How much is your salary?” The man was startled when Mo Li posed him that question. “Huh?”

“How much is your salary? How long have you been the victim’s driver and how long is your daily working hours?”

Mr. Zhao looked awkward. “Erm… Officer, how are these related the case?”

“Just answer them, why do you have so many questions?” Xiao Rui frowned.

“4 years, I have 4 off days every month and I’ll get 5500 RMB after tax.” That’s not particularly high… Xiao Rui raised his head but said nothing.

“Officer, you can’t suspect me because of that! I’m very loyal to the boss!”

Mo Li signaled that she had no more question. They could move on.

The next suspect was a fashionably dressed, and extravagant young man. “How could you let me wait for so long? Is this how you spend taxpayer’s money? Furthermore, hasn’t that female officer already asked everything that day? Why do I have to return for this questioning? Do you know how valuable my time is?”

Mo Li smiled lightly. “Mr. Andy, why are you so desperate to go home? Plus this time, our questions are different, for example, what is your relationship with the victim?”

“I already told you I’m his assistant.”

“Really? An assistant will carry around their boss’ picture at all times? Plus I’m certain an assistant wouldn’t be able to afford this whole get up.” Mo Li in her previous life had been invited to many galas so she was familiar with luxury items.

“Hmph, little girls, you have quite good taste.”

“Also,” Mo Li looked at this arrogant young man and asked directly, “Those things in the safety stairwell, they are for you, aren’t they?”

Andy rolled his eyes and then fired back a question, “Did Ol’ Zhao or the slut, Yu Xuan tell you that? But you’re right, the fat pig was hard to please and like kinky stuff. If not for the fact that I knew how he looked like in the past, I wouldn’t have agreed to his demands.”

Kang Zhi shivered when he studied the man before him and pictured him in the sex room with the dead man.

“Plus I earn the money with my own hard work, I’m not ashamed of it. Some want to take my place but they aren’t even qualified!” Andy glanced at Yu Xuan and Ol’ Zhao from the corner of his eyes.

“So what exactly is your job…” Xiao Rui couldn’t believe it. He thought it was better to clarify things.

“Oh, you tanned hunk, you’re quite interesting. Are you really asking me that?” Andy crossed his legs. “He paid me to spread my legs. We were both consenting adults, it was a normal business transaction.”

“So where were you 9 to 9.30 pm yesterday?”

“I was downstairs at the Burberry counter trying out clothes and lipsticks. The girl working there can testify for me. Unlike you, I need to work hard to earn my keep, I don’t have endorsement deals.” Andy glanced at Mo Li. “Besides, if you’re going to suspect me because of my relationship with that pig, you should suspect them more. Ol’ Zhao and Yu Xuan have a more complicated relationship with the dead man than I do.”
