The Side Character's Hidden Boss! Chapter 217 - Admiration

Chapter 217 - Admiration

"You're a born doctor, no matter where you go, you'll be saving lives." Qin Xuan looked at Mo Li's exhausted face and handed her a bottle of water. His tone was relaxed.

Mo Li didn't take the water. Instead she sucked in several deep breaths and ma.s.saged her legs. "Go on with the others, I'll rest here first."

"Seeing how pretty you are, I'll allow you to lean on me. But if you want to do anything further, we'll have to negotiate it first." Qin Xuan teased.

Mo Li lifted her head helplessly to look at Qin Xuan. G.o.d knows where she got her strength earlier. Her new body wasn't used to such intense pressure.. When the adrenaline faded away, she realized her legs were too weak to move.

Qin Xuan burst out laughing when he noticed this. "Now you finally know fear? I've been wondering how come you're so fearless at your young age. Come on, I know where the safe point is, take my hand and I'll bring you there. Big brother will take good care of you."

Seeing the proud smile on the kid's face, Mo Li rolled her eyes. "Says the person whose face was pale and hands were shaking earlier."

"That's because I have naturally fair skin."

"Then you need to go and have some supplements because that is an unnatural fairness on a human."

"Mo Li... I'm considering throwing you down this cliff..." The duo bantered until the local police, traffic and firemen arrived. The rescue team arrived last because they were caught in the mountainous roads and were lost.

Lu Qin looked at them and frowned. She was not satisfied with their performance. "You people only arrive now? If we really waited for you to arrive, we'd be dead already."

Even though Lu Qin was just a military doctor, everyone knew her background so no one dared to go against her. Everyone filed into the new vehicle but the rescue team leader refused to depart.

"What are we waiting for? We still have important things to do." Lu Qin was confused. Why were they still waiting when everyone was already onboard?

"Erm... Miss Lu, the superior has specifically told us that we can only leave after Miss Mo Li has been picked up." The person s.h.i.+vered when he spoke because he was Elder Lu's students. Of course, it was not his intention to offend Miss Lu due to an unknown girl but his superior had given him an explicit order. He had to find and ensure Mo Li's safety before they could depart.

Mo Li and Qin Xuan though walked at the back of the group. They only reached the camp 10 minutes after everyone was packed and ready to leave.

Mo Li didn't think much of it. She had no idea they were waiting for her. She rushed into the vehicle, not noticing Lu Qin's eyes on her.

The time was only noon but they had already gone through a lot. Everyone was exhausted. There were breads in the vehicle. Everyone ate some to tide over the hunger.

This was Mo Li's first time going on a mission with so many people. In the past, her missions involved ma.s.sacres or murders, so this was also the first time Mo Li was a part of such a lively working environment.

"Speaking of which, Doctor Mo Li, what was the thing that you drew on the ground earlier?"

"That's right, until now I still don't get them!"

"I need to apologize. At first, I thought you were just showing off... But now you have my full respect."

Mo Li sighed as the group chatted with her. She didn't like being the centre of attention. In the end, she explained, "It's nothing too complicated. It was a formula calculating the force and direction of the wind as well as the height and weight of individuals inside the car. I was using the most scientific way to arrange the rescue. I have to make sure that their escape order wouldn't affect the balance of the car. Due to the influence of air humidity and density, many things have to be factored. It was why I had everyone pull on the rope only after the girls got out from the car and not before. If not, the exerted force would have tipped the car over."

Mo Li didn't go into details and she didn't expect the people to really understand what she was saying. Hence even though she saw confused faces, she didn't explain further.

"That's impressive! I thought she was just doodling, I have no idea it was a mathematical formula!"

"I've heard that Miss Mo Li is the finalist for the Pearl River IMO team. That would explain it."

"No wonder Doctor Lu Xuan will have her lead this team, we need to learn from Miss Mo Li."

During the journey, Mo Li was drowsy so she didn't join the conversation.

When they arrived at the base camp, the first thing that hit them was the aroma of food in the canteen. Even Mo Li could hear her stomach grumbling.
