The taxi driver suddenly raised his head, and sweat began to pour from him more rapidly. He tightly pressed his lips, hesitated for a while, and finally nodded, saying, “I… I didn’t lie, please, officer, you have to believe me.” “Alright, you can go for now. If we need anything, we’ll contact you again,” the captain said as he escorted the man to the door, sensing the disbelief in the eyes of the other officers.

Mei Shu stepped forward and said, “Uncle Policeman, there are some aspects of the taxi driver’s statement that I can explain.”

“Come inside with me,” the captain made way for her to enter the office before closing the door.

Outside, the officers had already heard what the taxi driver had said and were discussing it animatedly.

“Why does our captain trust her so much? Could she be related to him?”

“No way! Could she have mesmerized the captain or something?”

“What are you guys talking about? Is our captain that kind of a person?”

“But she was just too… promiscuous in that video! I don’t think any man could resist, especially our captain, who has been single for over thirty years, right?” “What are you guys talking about?” They were engrossed in their conversation and didn’t notice when the office door opened.

At this moment, the captain was wearing a stern expression as he looked down at them.

The officers suddenly felt a chill run down their spines.

Xiao Liu quickly pulled the captain over to their side and said mysteriously, “Captain, I really think the taxi driver is not lying. Look at how terrified he is; there’s no way he could think on his feet and lie to the police like that!”

Others quickly chimed in, “Yes, Captain, you mustn’t be deceived by her! I think that girl is not as simple as she seems. She’s full of lies and knows how to play innocent. She definitely isn’t as innocent as she looks on the surface!” “Finished?” The captain stared coldly at them, extended a finger, and warned, “Don’t let me hear any baseless speculation about the victim again. Remember your identities; you are police officers, not street gossip mongers!”

“Yes! We won’t dare again!” One of them was frightened by the captain’s authority and quickly reassured him.

However, Xiao Liu had had a better relationship with the captain, so he couldn’t help but remind him, “Boss, I really don’t think Mei Shu is innocent in this matter. I just rewatched the surveillance footage from Morning Sun Alley, and it matches what the driver said. He did leave by himself in the car.”

“What does that prove?” The captain didn’t seem concerned and sneered at her. “Go check the driver’s bank account for any recent large sums of money from unknown sources.”

Xiao Liu was momentarily taken aback but soon realized, “Captain, are you saying the driver was bribed? But this would further prove that the driver was not lying, right? If there weren’t really a group of people, including the one with yellow hair, going to find Mei Shu, why would someone have bribed the driver? So, the video should be genuine!”

As for why they didn’t see Mei Shu resist in the video, it could either mean that Mei Shu truly knew them, or she pretended to cooperate to save her own life at this point.

Regardless of her motives, denying being the main character in the video at this stage could only mean that Mei Shu was lying.

“Alright, go investigate. I will personally interrogate her later,” the captain said impatiently, closing the office door.

The others dared not eavesdrop further and quickly went their separate ways.

Mei Shu had naturally overheard the conversation earlier. She sincerely thanked him again, “Uncle Policeman, thank you for trusting me and being willing to seek justice for me. You are a good police officer.”

“No need to flatter me like that; it’s something I should do. Take a seat.” he said. “By the way, don’t call me ‘Uncle Policeman.’ It makes me sound old. My last name is Wang, so just call me Captain Wang.”

“Alright, Captain Wang. Regarding what happened last night, I can explain,” Mei Shu didn’t plan to hide anything from him and proceeded to recount the events of her encounter with the man with the yellow hair and her interactions with the group in detail.

Captain Wang listened, seemingly stunned.

What did this girl just say?

She single-handedly dealt with several strong men?

Are you kidding me? Look at her slender arms and legs; she probably couldn’t even lift a bag of rice.

How could she possibly have fought men so much stronger than her?

Mei Shu knew he wasn’t easily convinced, so she stood up and said, “How about this, Captain Wang? Why don’t you and I have a match, so you can see for yourself if I have the ability to deal with those hooligans?”

Captain Wang had been a detective for many years and had held the title of martial arts champion in the police force. This was the first time someone had dared to provoke him so openly. A sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, “Forget it, I’m afraid of hurting you. If you go to court after leaving the police station, I won’t be able to escape responsibility..”
