He/She?

Who is it?

Just as He Huai was about to inquire, the call abruptly concluded at the other end.

"What's going on..."

Although he said that, he quickly called his own uncle, asking him to take care of it.

The next day, at the Spring Chen District Traffic Brigade.

"Mr. Shen, please come this way."

"Thank you."

The man in uniform led Shen Qian to a room filled with numerous surveillance screens.

"What specific time and which road section are you looking to investigate?"

Shen Qian pondered for a moment. "Yesterday evening, around 6 to 7 o'clock, the western section of Spring Chen Road..."

"Oh? Isn't that where the accident happened last night?"

"That's correct."

The man sighed. "If you're looking to check the surveillance of that road segment, I'm sorry, but we're unable to assist."

"Oh?" Shen Qian raised an eyebrow, his gaze turning gradually somber.

"To be completely transparent, I must inform you that yesterday, upon receiving the call, we immediately proceeded to the scene. There, we discovered that a taxi had committed a traffic violation, leading to a direct collision with an approaching truck. Both drivers were promptly transported to the hospital. Once we documented the incident on-site, we attempted to retrieve the surveillance footage from our station. However, regrettably, on the day of the incident, all surveillance cameras on the western and northern segments of Spring Chen Road were undergoing scheduled maintenance. Consequently, we were unable to capture the exact circumstances."

"All cameras on the western section were under maintenance?"

"Yes."

The uniformed personnel escorted Shen Qian to the door. "I'm truly sorry for not being able to help."

The man smiled gently. "It's alright. You've done your best."

"But what about Tang team's side..."

"Rest assured," Shen Qian complied readily. "I will explain the situation."

"Then I'll leave it to Mr. Shen. Goodbye."

Shen Qian nodded slightly.

As he watched the car drive away, the uniformed personnel turned and returned to the office.

"Boss, who was that? Why were you so polite?" A subordinate asked casually.

"He's here to check the surveillance."

"Is he someone with a background?"

"Kid, your curiosity knows no bounds! Concentrate on your assigned duties and put an end to incessant chattering. Beware, your tendency to speak too freely might hinder your chances of finding a spouse!"

The subordinate slumped dejectedly, suddenly remembering something. "The cameras on Spring Chen Road have already been fixed by Zhaozi. It should be done by noon."

"Oh, who called for me?" Another voice chimed in.

"Speak of the devil. Zhaozi, why did you come back so quickly?"

"Hey, forget about it. It appears that the camera wasn't faulty at all. I told you, they carried out maintenance just the day before yesterday. How could it malfunction yesterday? It seems the closed-circuit switch hadn't been turned on all along. No wonder it wasn't operational."

"Isn't that device controlled by computers?"

"Who knows? Maybe they forgot to switch it on after the maintenance... Boss, aren't we supposed to be patrolling Wenlong Street this afternoon?!"

"Ah? Right, Wenlong Street."

The two subordinates exchanged a glance, wondering if their boss was truly lost in thought just now?

Waking up naturally from her sleep, Shen Wan sat up and noticed that the wound on her forehead was a bit itchy. She reached to scratch it.

"Ouch!"

It hurt.

Seeing her, a passing nurse entered and asked, "What's wrong?"

Shen Wan replied, "The wound is itchy."

"Is it on your head?"

"Yes."

"Try not to scratch it. Let me examine it."

The nurse removed the bandage, and upon seeing the slightly swollen wound, she furrowed her brows. "It seems to be infected. I'll call the doctor."

Soon, a doctor arrived and confirmed the infection after examination.

"We'll administer anti-inflammatory medication through an IV drip first. If you feel uncomfortable during the process, press the call button, okay?"

Shen Wan nodded.

With unavoidably bruised hands, she endured two more injections. She sighed. Her physical condition was still too weak.

In her previous life, she only started taking care of her health after returning to the Shen family. However, that was four years later. Her early nutritional deficiencies had taken a toll, and although she had put in a lot of effort to exercise, it only made her less prone to illness. Her physical condition and energy were still far behind her sisters Shen Ru and Shen Yan.
