Chapter 437: The History
When she heard that, Mo Li stopped in her tracks. She turned to Xiao Rui and asked, “Did Tao Si tell you that?”
“For the case, we looked into Li Hui’s background. Only then did we realize he had a criminal record. He was arrested during his first year of high school…” Xiao Rui told Mo Li a story, the main characters were Li Hui and Tao Si. Tao Si was the victim of school bullying. When Li Hui first saw her, Tao Si was being slapped by other students who couldn’t stand her.
Then Li Hui heard that Tao Si was a slut. The boys wanted to test if that was true. One day, after school, they dragged her into their car and brought Tao Si to the nightclub to drink with them. One of the boys was discovered by his family. When their parents came, the boys told their parents that Tao Si was the nightclub’s working girl and it was her who invited them there. Tao Si was berated by many parents.
After the parents left, the boys were angry with Tao Si. They assumed it was Tao Si who sold them out. So they gang-raped her. Out of concern, Li Hui was the only one who stayed to check if Tao Si was still alive. Seeing how damaged she was, Li Hui placed Tao Si at a house that his family owned, but did not use.
Soon Tao Si developed a reliance on Li Hui. Tao Si ambushed Li Hui with a kiss on the roof and that was witnessed by everyone. Afraid that his reputation might be ruined, Li Hui used the excuse of moving to leave the city. He didn’t care about Tao Si and even started the rumors that he only stayed with Tao Si because she had sold herself to him as a prostitute.
Someone tricked Tao Si by sending her a message pretending to be Li Hui. They told her to meet up at the park at night. Tao Si believed it and went to the park. She was raped again.
One day, during their 3rd year of high school, Li Hui came back to the village for holiday. That night, Li Hui was drunk and Tao Si was going back home alone. Tao Si had nothing to say to the man but Li Hui was reminded of the happy times they shared together. Li Hui dragged Tao Si into the alley and raped her. When Tao Si tried to resist, Li Hui smacked her head and it caused one of her ears to go deaf. When Tao Si returned home, Tao Si’s mother couldn’t believe what she saw. She kicked Tao Si out of the house.
From then on, Tao Si had to depend on herself to attend school and earn money. However, the bullying at school never stopped. She was heavily traumatized and she had to suspend from school.
It was little wonder that eventually Tao Si was recruited by Flower Appraisal.
Xiao Rui looked at Mo Li. “Li Hui was let go after a weak pat on his wrist because his father at the time was the chief. No one dared to bring this to the superior and no one cared what really happened.”
No wonder Tao Si would stop at nothing to kill this man, however, they had no evidence to tie Tao Si to Li Hui’s death. They couldn’t even tell if Cui Xiang had received instructions from Flower Appraisal to kill Li Hui.
“Try to negotiate with Tao Si and see if we can get anything from her.” Mo Li uttered. Flower Appraisal was too weird, the organization wasn’t featured that heavily in the original book. Mo Li was certain that her life wouldn’t head towards destruction anymore but the sudden appearance of Flower Appraisal had raised many questions. She wasn’t sure of her safety anymore.
Another uncertainty was Han Xu. Even though Mo Li had no idea what he was up to, she was sure that the man had started to turn on his brothers. Beijing was about to be rocked!
When Mo Li reached home, Mo Li noticed that Mo Zheng had gone to rest. His body was recovering but the future was uncertain for them.
Mo Li sighed at this thought. She decided to go to her grandparent’s place. For some reason, Mo Li didn’t like to stay at home. She knew that Jiang Yao and Mo Yi really did love her, but it was because she was Mo Li. It was a contradictory feeling and Mo Li didn’t want to deal with it.
“Why did you come back so late?” When Mo Li slunk through the door of her grandparent’s place, Mo Xiao, who sat in the living room, asked.
“Why aren’t you in bed yet?” Seeing Mo Xiao, Mo Li frowned. Even though she was a good doctor, she could not help Mo Xiao if he didn’t take care of his body!
Mo Xiao glanced at Mo Li. He stayed up late because he was worried about Mo Li. In the past, even though Mo Li might go clubbing, she would still return home. However, when Mo Xiao asked Mo Yun, he was told that Mo Li had not been home for two days already.
It would be hard to discipline her in the future.
“I… Are you hungry?” Mo Xiao was about to scold her but when he saw Mo Li’s tired face, the words came out differently.
When she heard that, Mo Li’s stomach grumbled in response. Mo Li had been so busy that she forgot she had not had a bite that day. She was indeed very hungry.
