Just as she stepped out onto the street, not far away, a sudden roar of an engine started up.

Lu Miao looked up and saw an RS7 rapidly charging towards her.

She squinted, standing still without moving.

She waited until the car seemed about to crash directly into her before she swiftly moved to the side, avoiding it altogether.

The occupants in the car barely had time to see her movement, feeling as though everything blurred, and suddenly, she was on the other side.

With the sudden loss of their target, the driver panicked and slammed on the brakes, desperately swerving the car. Amid the swerves, there was a loud crash as the car collided with another parked vehicle by the roadside.

The cars following behind braked urgently, causing chaos around them. Pedestrians on the sidewalk couldn’t help but gather and watch the scene from a distance.

The car door was pushed open from the inside, and a man in his thirties or forties, his head covered in blood, crawled out of the car while clutching his head.

Due to the abrupt braking, his injuries didn’t seem severe. There shouldn’t be any life-threatening danger.

Fortunately, it wasn’t during rush hour, and the area was near a residential neighborhood, so the foot traffic wasn’t heavy. Aside from the driver himself, no one else was affected.

The man steadied himself against the car door for a moment, then lost his balance and fell to the ground.

Lu Miao walked up and looked down at that person.

She took out her phone and dialed 911. “Hello, there’s someone here suspected of attempted murder.”

She already had an answer in her heart regarding the one responsible.

She had been ignoring them before—first, because their actions weren’t directly affecting her, and second, she didn’t want to take action.

But now that she had willingly put herself in danger, she naturally intended to fulfill their plans.

Having a police officer assist her was the best outcome she could hope for.

With the mention of murder, within ten minutes, both regular police and traffic police arrived at the scene promptly.

The traffic police quickly assessed the scene of the accident, confirmed that it was reported by Lu Miao, and a leading officer-like figure among them walked over to her with a serious expression.

Lu Miao gestured toward the semi-conscious driver on the ground, summarizing the situation briefly, “He tried to kill me with his car.”

The police officer’s expression grew graver upon hearing this. “Do you know him? Do you have any grievances with him?”

Lu Miao shook her head.

“Then how can you be certain he intentionally tried to hit you?”

Lu Miao looked up at the surveillance camera not far above them. “If you review the surveillance footage, it’ll be clear. Also, I suspect someone might have instigated him from behind.”

The police officer furrowed his brow, leaving the scene and the driver in the care of the traffic police. He directly took Lu Miao to the police station.

To prevent the driver from escaping, they also arranged for someone to accompany him to the hospital.

Lu Miao followed them to the Dolice station. While thev were in the middle of

taking statements, the technical personnel hurriedly entered the room. They addressed the leading officer, “Captain Du, all the nearby surveillance cameras around the scene of the incident are malfunctioning. We can’t find any valid video evidence.”

Captain Du frowned, ‘What about the cameras that are a bit farther away?”

“I’ve already checked all the nearby ones. None of them were facing the incident scene,” the technician replied.

A faint smile curved at the corner of Lu Miao’s lips. It seemed that the instigator wasn’t entirely foolish; they knew to disable the surveillance cameras first.

This way, there wouldn’t be direct evidence later. Even if the driver insisted it was an accident and there were eyewitnesses to the accident, they probably wouldn’t be able to confirm whether it was intentional.

Her visit to the Xu residence had been a spur-of-the-moment decision. This meant that the instigator had been following her all along. If they had tampered with the surveillance cameras, it would have been during the time she entered the Xu residence.

“I remember the cameras over there looked brand new, as if they had just been replaced not long ago. Could they all malfunction this quickly?”

The technician scratched his head. “It is a bit strange. None of the other cameras from the same batch had issues, only those on that street are malfunctioning. But based on the scene photos sent by the traffic police, there doesn’t seem to be any evidence of tampering with the cameras. It might be a quality control problem with this batch of cameras.”

Lu Miao paused for a moment. “Can I take a look at the surveillance footage?” The technician hesitated and looked at Captain Du.

After a brief consideration, Captain Du nodded. After all, Lu Miao was the involved party. With no evidence left, wanting to confirm matters was reasonable.

“Sure.”

The three of them went to the technical department together.

The technician pulled up all the surveillance camera footage from the scene and its vicinity on the computer.

The cameras on the surrounding streets were functioning properly, but only the ones on that particular street were displaying black screens.

Lu Miao patted the technician’s shoulder, signaling for him to step aside. “I’ll handle this.”

The young technician blushed slightly and got up from his seat, making way for her.

With ease, Lu Miao accessed the surveillance system, retrieving the video footage from two hours before the accident occurred.

As expected, the black screens that had filled the monitor instantly transformed into normal video images.

The technician and Captain Du beside him were briefly dumbfounded before quickly realizing the implications.

“So, this person tampered with the cameras before you arrived, and then initiated the incident.”

Lu Miao nodded, her fingers dancing nimbly across the keyboard.

Watching her perform these seamless intrusion techniques, the technician was amazed. If he recalled correctly, he hadn’t given her access to the surveillance system password, had he? This method of entry was so smooth and practiced; she moved in and out of their police surveillance system as if it were her own.

She even effortlessly fixed a few system bugs while at it.

On the computer screen, the visuals continued to jump and fluctuate, zooming in and out.

After a series of actions, Lu Miao’s fingertips tapped the keyboard one last time. A freeze-frame image appeared on the screen.

Captain Du scrutinized the man carefully. “This is the driver from the car earlier.”

Lu Miao nodded. “The object he’s holding should be a powerful laser. The stronger the laser, the more damage it can inflict on cameras. However, before the laser destroys the lens, it leaves behind a possible one-thousandth of a second or even shorter last image.”

She pointed on the screen. “This is one of the images I recovered before the camera was damaged. While it doesn’t directly prove that the accident was intentional, it does establish that the person was well -prepared for this incident and had premeditated it.”

Captain Du looked at the technician beside him with a mix of scorn and disbelief. “Look at her, look at you. She’s able to restore the last image even though she’s so young. You’ve been wasting your years not learning anything.”

The technician almost wanted to kneel down in response. The captain, not being a tech expert, might not understand how difficult it was to restore a thousandth of a second of an image, let alone restore it with such clarity. It was a level of difficulty akin to launching a rocket into space.

She pointed on the screen. “This is one of the images I recovered before the camera was damaged. While it doesn’t directly prove that the accident was intentional, it does establish that the person was well-prepared for this incident and had premeditated it..”
