The Side Character’s Hidden Boss! Chapter 147 – Mentally Ill

Chapter 147: Mentally Ill

Zhuang Xin’s death caused a great uproar on the internet. Even now, people were still talking about it. Zhuang Xin’s time of death was midnight, there were no witness, or at least no one had come forth. However, the internet sure had many things to say about Zhuang Xin’s death.

“See, money can’t buy happiness.”

“If you ask me, this is her karma for fooling around.”

“This woman is such a bitch, the things that she has done! The world is a better place with her dead.”

“I knew that she must have used some unscrupulous method to get to the top. See, this has proven me right!”

“Normal people like us should just mind our own business. The entertainment industry sure is dark.”

“Why are there so many big events happening in the entertainment industry lately?”

…

In contrast, Jiang Li was not from the entertainment background. No one was talking about her death. Based on the police’s crime scene reconstruction, Jiang Li had sat on the balcony for an hour before she jumped due to the overwhelming despair.

…

After Zhuang Xin’s death, Mo Li were exposed to the online comments about her death too. They were unavoidable.

Whenever she stumbled across one, Mo Li would frown. From Mo Li’s perspective, these online users were also Zhuang Xin’s killers. Perhaps Zhuang Xin were also bombarded by these people before she died. She could have lost her will to live from reading these horrible comments.

Mo Li sighed helplessly because there was still no law to stop online verbal abuse. Just as Mo Li was about to turn her phone off, an article with rising popularity grabbed her attention.

“Zhuang Xin’s Mental Illness History!”

Mo Li clicked on it immediately. When Mo Li did the autopsy on Zhuang Xin, she didn’t find any pathology in her brain. Her nervous system didn’t show signs of her taking psychiatric medication either, so why would Zhuang Xin suddenly be accused of having mental illness?

The article came with not only a psychiatry assessment report but also a video. From the angle of the video, it looked like it had been taken in secret.

Zhuang Xin held onto the old furniture around her as she moved step by step to the barred window. With each of her step, Zhuang Xin would slap herself on the face.

Zhuang Xin appeared weakened in the video because she would gasp for breath after a few small steps. The window in the video was nailed shut by iron bars. Zhuang Xin grabbed at the bars and shook them madly.

Then all of a sudden, Zhuang Xin’s expression changed. From madness, it turned to fear. Zhuang Xin shied away from the window and crawled to the room corner. Then she buried her face into her chest and cried… Like she had lost all hope.

Then her hands gripped tightly around her chest. As Zhuang Xin struggled against herself, her skirt fluttered about to reveal the scratch marks all over her body.

Mo Li’s first impression after seeing the video was not that Zhuang Xin was mentally ill, but instead Mo Li wanted to find Nie Li, to ask her if she was looking at an audition video!

Zhuang Xin might look crazy in the video but once Mo Li studied her closer, she noticed that Zhuang Xin’s every single action was calculated, like she was acting them out from a script.

Furthermore, when Mo Li did the autopsy, she couldn’t find any scratch mark on Zhuang Xin’s body either. If Zhuang Xin was really a mental patient who needed to self-mutilate to release internal stress, her body wouldn’t have been so clean.

Therefore, Mo Li’s suspicion was that the scratch marks were body paint and this ‘evidence of Zhuang Xin’s mental illness’ was really an audition tape.

Mo Li didn’t want to mind Nie Li’s business but from the interaction between Nie Li and Zhuang Xin, Mo Li surmised that Zhuang Xin had some dirt on Nie Li’s company. It was why she dared to go against Nie Li while so many other people feared and respected her.

What Mo Li and millions of netizens were seeing could be her company’s act of caution against Zhuang Xin. Her company could have asked Zhuang Xin to act crazy on camera, telling her that it was an audition for a movie or Tv drama. When Zhuang Xin came out with damaging statements about the company, they would reveal this video, claiming that Zhuang Xin was mentally ill to undermine the validity of her statements.

But based on what Mo Li knew, Zhuang Xin hadn’t done anything damaging to her company before she died, so why release this video now? And who would have released it?
