Chapter 213: Taking Matters into Her Own Hands
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Captain Wang didn’t dare let his guard down again. He used a skillful wrist lock technique to immobilize Mei Shu by pinning her hands behind her back.
Mei Shu knew that today was as far as it would go, so she didn’t push it any further and surrendered gracefully.
Captain Wang released her hands with a smile, “You have good potential. You can consider joining the police academy and working with us in the future.”
“I’ll seriously consider it,” Mei Shu replied with a smile, rubbing her wrist. She then gestured toward the astonished onlookers in the distance, “Although I didn’t win against your captain, I’m confident I can handle those petty thieves with ease!”
“You certainly have the skills for it!” Officer Liu walked up, incredulous. He examined the muscles on her arms, “Was our captain holding back against you? It almost looked like he didn’t have as much strength as you!”
Captain Wang chuckled as he lit a cigarette, “I didn’t go easy on her. This is her own strength. If you don’t believe it, you can try for yourself.”
“Me?” Officer Liu felt a bit tempted but hesitated. He wanted to spar with Mei Shu.
But he knew he was likely to lose, which would be embarrassing.
“I’ll pass,” he quickly declined.
Mei Shu raised an eyebrow and taunted, “Afraid, are you?”
“Who’s afraid!” Officer Liu was angered by her, “I was just taking it easy on you because you’re a girl, but 1 didn’t expect you to be so ungrateful!”
“Oh, you were taking it easy on me?” Mei Shu took off her jacket, casually tossed it aside, and stretched her shoulders. She warmed up, saying, “No need to take it easy on me. I haven’t had my fill yet.”
“Is that so?” Officer Liu reluctantly removed his jacket and loosened up. He extended his hand to challenge her.
Mei Shu’s eyes sparkled with excitement.
She wanted to test her skills at Sanda level five and maybe even level up while sparring with Officer Liu.
With that in mind, she didn’t hold back and quickly overpowered him.
Officer Liu, full of youthful vigor, refused to admit defeat and fought back with even more determination.
However, he soon found himself outmatched by Mei Shu.
Mei Shu firmly held Officer Liu’s wrist and bent it backward, making the joints crack audibly.
“Alright, that’s enough. Mei Shu, let go of him.” Captain Wang didn’t want the fight to escalate further and stepped in to stop them.
Mei Shu released Officer Liu’s hand and dusted off her palms, placing her hands on her hips with a mischievous smile. “So, impressed yet?”
Officer Liu’s face was red, and he didn’t dare to look at her. He mumbled, “I’m impressed! I had no idea a high school girl could be this strong!”
Mei Shu’s smile deepened, “Does this prove my innocence?”
“What’s the use of beating me?” Officer Liu replied, “This doesn’t count as evidence.”
Mei Shu picked up her jacket from the ground and shook off the dust, “1 know, but at least you can trust me now and focus on the investigation without doubting me.”
Officer Liu felt even more embarrassed.
She must have heard their discussions outside!
Captain Wang pondered, “Miss, do you already have a suspect in mind? Who do you think might have sent those thugs after you?”
“Having a suspect in mind won’t help unless we find evidence,” she countered Officer Liu’s words, “It’s your job to gather evidence. However, 1 might be able to assist you.”
“Oh? Do you have any leads to share with us?” Captain Wang’s eyes lit up.
Mei Shu nodded, “I can restore the video footage.”
“What? You can do that?” Officer Liu couldn’t contain his surprise, “Why didn’t you mention it earlier?”
“1 thought you could handle it,” Mei Shu innocently shrugged her shoulders.
Now Officer Liu had no words.
In the end, it was their incompetence that made the victim take matters into her own hands.
But could she really restore the video? Wasn’t she just bragging?
Captain Wang was also intrigued, “Our technology might not be the most advanced, but we’ve never made mistakes. Are you really capable of doing it?” “Of course, we can start now,” Mei Shu said casually.
Now even Captain Wang was curious about her methods and quickly took her to the office.
All the police officers surrounded her with shining eyes, waiting to see her operation. Even the colleagues from the Technical Department came over curiously when they heard the news.
“This child hasn’t graduated from high school yet, right? Can she really do it?” Division Chief Zhou of the Technology Department pointed at Mei Shu’s back in disbelief.
Little Liu could only pout innocently. “Let’s wait and see, but this little girl is indeed interesting.”
As they whispered behind her, Mei Shu remained focused, typing away as a string of code flying across the screen in front of her..
