The car stopped at the garage door.
Instructor Hou took out his ID and asked the boss for the surveillance footage.
The boss unconsciously glanced at Xiao He and spoke unpleasantly: "Did this brat send you guys here? Is it about the wages?"
The boss squatted on the ground, busying himself: "He caused such a big incident here, what's wrong with me docking his wages for a few days?"
"You cops are even getting involved over a few days of wages? Is your public security bureau that free?"
Hou Qing: "Please cooperate with the police. Also, has anyone asked you for surveillance footage from the time of the incident?"
Upon hearing this, the boss realized it wasn't about the wages. He stood up and saw that the girl standing next to Xiao He was the same girl who drove the sports car in the surveillance video. The boss immediately became obedient.
Not to mention one look at that high-end sports car showed great wealth, even Qiao Ying's murderous aura wasn't something he dared offend!
"No one has asked me for surveillance footage."
As the boss spoke, he led them to retrieve the surveillance video.
But they discovered the surveillance video had vanished without a trace.
The boss was quite confused: "How is it gone?"
The surveillance video from that day was missing from both his phone and computer.
Seeing this, Qiao Ying had already determined in her heart.
Hou Qing: "Did the car owner come looking for you after the incident?"
The boss definitively said: "No."
Hou Qing didn't understand. If not the Baojun car owner, then who?
"Those online videos, did you post them? Distorting the truth, falsifying information to stir trouble makes you criminally liable." Xiao He looked at the shady boss with unkind eyes questioning him.
But the boss was baffled: "What videos? I don't understand what you're saying."
Hou Qing casually flipped through his phone and showed the boss, also asking: "How many employees work at your garage?"
"Two. But the surveillance system was only connected to my phone, it's impossible for them to have leaked it out."
Hou Qing wanted to further investigate, but was stopped by Qiao Ying.
No need to waste time.
Qiao Ying connected her phone to the garage's surveillance system.
Then in an almost forcibly uncompromising tone said to the boss: "Pay back the money you docked from him."
That bastard escaped without paying for repairs, what right did he have to stick Xiao He with the loss?
Xiao He looked at Qiao Ying with complicated eyes: "Forget the wages."
What time was it to still be concerned over a few hundred dollars?
Upon seeing Qiao Ying's don't-mess-with-me expression, the boss begrudgingly took out a few hundred dollars from his pocket to give Xiao He.
The three of them then left the garage.
Hou Qing needed to bring the Baojun car owner back for questioning. With the situation having escalated to this extent, their public security bureau had to give the public an explanation.
Currently online rumors were saying the Baojun car owner had been beaten to death by Qiao Ying.
The Baojun owner had to make an appearance and speak up to quickly quell public opinion.
Qiao Ying and Xiao He conveniently followed along with Instructor Hou.
Xiao He: "The surveillance is gone, what do we do now?"
Without the complete video, even if the Baojun owner came out to explain what really happened, it wouldn't make much of a difference.
And even with the complete video, while it showed Qiao Ying had acted in righteous indignation, her behavior had still been too extreme. Those internet instigators would still seize the opportunity to criticize.
Public opinion would ruin both her life and studies.
Xiao He felt depressed thinking of this.
If not for him...
Seeing the somber expression on Xiao He's face, Qiao Ying spoke lightly: "Who said the video is gone?"
As long as traces of its existence remained, even if it was destroyed, she could still restore it. Just some extra effort required.
Xiao He immediately looked at her: "You can fix it?"
Qiao Ying took Xiao He's laptop and connected the garage's surveillance system...
While driving, Instructor Hou and the two found the residence of the Baojun car owner in a run down building complex.
The three stood at the base of the building, just about to head up.
At this time the Baojun car owner happened to walk over carrying two bottles of alcohol. Spotting Xiao He and Qiao Ying standing outside his building, the moment he saw Qiao Ying, the Baojun owner felt a physiological sense of fear.
Qiao Ying followed Instructor Hou to first walk into the building.
Xiao He who was lagging behind suddenly met eyes with the Baojun owner.
Their gazes locking, the Baojun owner subconsciously turned to flee.
"Halt!" Without even thinking, Xiao He immediately gave chase.
The shrieking sound of slamming breaks, followed by the noise of impact and the plummeting smash of something heavy upon the ground.
By the time Instructor Hou and Qiao Ying caught up, they were met with a grisly accident scene. The Baojun owner laid sprawled in a pool of blood, having been run over crossing the road. The silver van that had crashed into him remained parked as the driver sat stunned in the seat.
While Xiao He stood frozen still on the sidewalk, his face ghastly pale.
Qin Hanyue had gone away on a business trip and didn’t know about the things happening online.
He saw the video clip Qiao Yi sent him right as he had arrived out of the country.
He opened the video of Qiao Ying driving the car into collision.
Despite this being just a short section of edited clip, Qin Hanyue nevertheless guessed and surmised the full course of events.
So that was how her car troubles had begun.
By now things had already spun out of control.
The Baojun car owner died in the traffic accident.
Dying in the middle of a main busy road in full sight of many witnesses.
The street surveillance was first exposed online by the public, also revealing the dead man’s identity - confirming the Baojun owner netizens had earlier speculated was already dead.
But this time was real dead.
Someone behind the scenes had been orchestrating and manipulating everything.
The tragic accident and death video of the Baojun owner set the internet alight.
Public opinion exploded as Qiao Ying became the target of attack.
Instigators wearing the guise of righteousness directly accused Qiao Ying of hiring a killer, murdering to keep her crimes hidden.
Some had insisted from the start the man had already been beaten to death by Qiao Ying back at the garage.
When Qiao Ying received Qin Hanyue’s call, she was at the police station.
Qiao Ying: “No need to rush back, focus on your business. But we may need you to make a call to the public security bureau.”
Qin Hanyue: “Alright. Were you able to obtain the full surveillance video?”
Qiao Ying: “Yup, want to see it? I can send it to you shortly.”
Qin Hanyue: “Who leaked the surveillance footage? The car owner? Or was it the garage boss or an employee?”
Such level of heated attention, things weren’t so simple.
The garage boss and employees were currently at the police station as well assisting investigations. They insisted it wasn’t them who did it.
Upon realizing the surveillance system had been wiped, Qiao Ying already knew it wasn’t them.
After some thought, Qiao Ying complained to Qin Hanyue: “Dark Shadow doesn’t just commit murder. To fulfill their agenda they often stoop to underhanded means as well.”
To fulfill their goals, zero qualms about the methods.
Of course she herself had never done such things, considering them beneath her.
Qin Hanyue: “It was Dark Shadow?”
Qin Hanyue didn’t know much about Dark Shadow. Feeling somewhat astonished a hitman organization would engage in these types of persistent tactics?
Unable to take out Qiao Ying directly with a hit, not daring to confront her head on and risk losing their own men, they instead opted to try destroying her through indirect harassment and causing trouble from all sides. Biding their time for an opening to strike?
While such methods were somewhat futile, if Dark Shadow did nothing, wouldn’t that be even more damaging to their face?
Was this really so?
Xiao He finished giving his account in the interrogation room and emerged looking fairly poor in spirit.
Qiao Ying: “Holding up okay?”
On the phone Qin Hanyue overheard Qiao Ying comforting Xiao He.
Qin Hanyue felt discomfort in his heart. And after seeing the full surveillance video Qiao Ying sent over, he felt even more spite.
Spite aside, Qin Hanyue called the Public Security Bureau chief to make a personal call.
The Public Security Bureau acted swiftly, officially releasing the complete unedited seven minute surveillance footage.
The video was cropped larger, showing not just the two cars, but also the repair worker Xiao He standing nearby.
The car stopped at the garage door.
Instructor Hou took out his ID and asked the boss for the surveillance footage.
The boss unconsciously glanced at Xiao He and spoke unpleasantly: "Did this brat send you guys here? Is it about the wages?"
