The Side Character's Hidden Boss! - Chapter 345 - The Man

Chapter 345: The Man

Translator: Lonelytree

Without giving Mo Li any chance, Mo Xiao walked straight into the guest room on the first floor.

Mo Li was stunned. She returned to the old home to rest but now she had to become the nanny for her brother.

Mo Li thought about what he said. As the saying goes, you are what you eat. The menu Mo Xiao wanted was not nutritious enough. His body lacked many nutrients so he had to eat more nutritious food.

Furthermore, dishes like shredded pork with fish sauce and cola chicken wings were not good for his recovery… Mo Li came up with a new menu that would help with Mo Xiao’s recovery.

…

The next morning, when Mo Xiao woke up, he noticed that there was only a small bowl of stir-fried eggs with sliced pork belly and a bowl of lychee tea on the table. Mo Li had already left the house.

Mo Li left the house early in the morning to head to the market to buy some fresh vegetables and fruits but she encountered an unexpected person. It was the man who saved them yesterday. He was standing before her grandparent’s house.

The 12th floor had its elevator face the open-air balcony and the man was standing beside the balcony. Mo Li frowned and turned towards the elevator. However, the man reacted quickly. Mo Li bounced into the man and she lost her balance, falling back towards the balcony.

Fortunately, the man reached out to hold Mo Li firmly.

“Careful.” He said. Mo Li was surprised that the man was fluent in Chinese.

Mo Li would be lying if she said she was not afraid. Her heart sped up. If she tripped over the balcony just now, she would form a deep pit on the ground. And the Mo Family would have a funeral to attend.

Mo Li took a deep breath and asked, “Sir, what do you want?”

“An Wan.” The man was concise. He believed there was a connection between Mo Li and An Wan.

“We are just normal colleagues, I can’t help you.” Mo Li looked at the man. Even though she was friends with An Wan, she didn’t know much about An Wan’s private life. The novel didn’t describe much about this side character either. There was a brief mention that An Wan would have a happy family in the end. This meant that Mo Li really didn’t know much about An Wan’s private life. They talked mostly about acting and rarely shared their private lives.

“Bring me to her.” The man’s command irked Mo Li. She didn’t even know the man, why would she bring him to An Wan? Furthermore, Mo Li only knew which building An Wan lived in, she didn’t which floor and which room.

“Building 3, 501.” The man appeared to read Mo Li’s thoughts. However, Mo Li felt like this man was not a good person, a good person wouldn’t investigate the details of a single woman so deeply. Mo Li wanted to ignore the man but the man refused to let her go.

Looking at the man, Mo Li raised her brow and made her move. Unexpectedly, the man predicted Mo Li’s moves. He grabbed Mo Li by her wrist and accurately knocked the scalpel out of her hand.

“A doctor? It’s a pity that you’re too slow and weak. You might be able to fend off a normal person but for me…” The man’s voice was frosty as he used a professional maneuver to press Mo Li to the ground. Mo Li didn’t use her full strength, she just wanted to test this man. However, the man didn’t hold back. He was indeed a dangerous man.

“Miss Mo, I’d advise you to cooperate with me.” The man warned. He could see through Mo Li’s attack pattern easily. Because Mo Li was a woman and she understood human anatomy well, every time she attacked, she would aim at the weak points of the human body. But an experienced soldier like himself could deflect her attacks easily.

Mo Li could deal with minor thieves but definitely not someone like him.

“The name’s Fukase Ming.”

He’s Japanese-Chinese? Suddenly something came to Mo Li. Does he work for Nie Li’s father? Even though Nie Li was Quan Yu’s relative, according to the plot, Nie Li’s mother was already pregnant when she married Father Nie. It was why Nie Li’s background was so complicated. But why would this man appear at Pearl River?

“Mr. Ming, why are you looking at An Wan?” Mo Li glanced at the forearm that pressed against her throat.

The man didn’t reply and lift Mo Li off the ground. He was surprised that Mo Li was lighter than An Wan.. If he knew things would go so smoothly, he wouldn’t have wasted so much time.
