Chapter 161: Character Background

Less than 48 hours had passed since Zhuang Xin was found dead so Nie Li was still detained at the police station. Before she arrived, Mo Li assumed she would encounter a disheveled Nie Li but Nie Li proved her wrong. Inside the cell, Nie Li was well-dressed and she even had on lipstick and make-up. When Nie Li saw them, she stood up and greeted them warmly. “I’m surprised that you’d come to visit me at a time like this, what’s up?”

Quan Yu pulled a chair over and said impatiently, “What the hell is Huan Yu Entertainment up to? And what’s your relationship with that He Sen?”

Mo Li noticed that Quan Yu had skipped the pleasantries with Nie Li. Thus she surmised that these two indeed had a close relationship.

Noticing Mo Li studying the two of them, Nie Li shrugged nonchalantly and introduced, “This is my nephew, so technically, he should call me his little aunt.” To be honest, Nie Li’s clarification didn’t help clear up the complication of the Quan Family’s family tree for Mo Li.

“Let’s cut to the case, did He Sen kill Zhuang Xin?” Quan Yu originally didn’t want to reveal his relationship with Nie Li so early but the fact that Nie Li might be facing prison time threw that caution out the window.

“I don’t know,” Nie Li answered honestly. She really didn’t know. She offered Zhuang Xin a chance by introducing her to He Sen. “I have no idea what those two did on their own. Or perhaps this was a revenge taken by President Zhan after he found out Zhuang Xin had swapped him out for his brother.”

Mo Li looked at Nie Li and felt like she was staring at a living mystery. In the original novel, Nie Li managed to stir up trouble across multiple nations without once exposing herself.

Even though Nie Li had not technically harmed Mo Li, it was clear that Nie Li would do anything for the sake of greater status and power. In the world dominated by men, Nie Li managed to stake out a place for herself. For Nie Li, Zhuang Xin was another one of her pawn, it was why Nie Li showed zero sympathy when she found out about Zhuang Xin’s death.

Quan Yu readied to stand up and leave after he realized he was not going to get anything from Nie Li. As he headed towards the door, a faint voice came from behind him. “As I said earlier, I sent Zhuang Xin to He Sen’s private audition party. There are understandably many other promising actors there. However, what I heard is that the only two remaining candidates at the end, are Zhuang Xin and a girl called Sun Li. This Sun Li was sent to the party by Zhan Hai.”

Zhan Hai was the current president for Huan Yu Entertainment. Zhan Hai’s father, Zhan Tai was the official secretariat for the prime minister of Country K. Zhan Tai served the prime minister until his retirement so Zhan Tai knew many international secrets. Because he was so close to the center of power, Zhan Tai was also called ‘the little president’.

Men of power often had problems keeping the thing in their pants. Zhan Tai fathered an illegitimate son. This was used by his political enemy and Zhan Tai was relegated outside of Country K. However, even so, the Zhan Family still held much power.

This was the forces Nie Li had to go up against because the Zhan Family had injured Nie Li’s father. She swore to take revenge on them.

Nie Li’s story was mostly described in the epilogue of the original, and Mo Li hadn’t reached that part so she had no idea what happened to Nie Li in the end.

However, it was undeniable that Nie Li was a force to be reckoned with. She slowly worked her way from the ground up and had accomplished many things not expected of her.

With this in mind, Mo Li couldn’t help but feel wary around Nie Li. This woman always had a smile on her face and her tone was very gentle, but she was a master schemer and plotter. Only the foolish would not be cautious around her.

After they left the police station, Ah Si sent Mo Li home.

After another week of silence, the weather was turning hot. Elder Mo and his few old friends gathered together. As with most gatherings among the elderly, their main topic was their children and grandchildren. The atmosphere was lively.
