The aloof military doctor arrives at the unit, and the tough guy can't sit still.

"Thank you, thank you, Comrade Yan."

Xia Qiuran grabbed the car keys and ran out quickly, but when she saw the tall, heavy bicycle in front of her, she couldn't help but frown. The bicycle was so tall and heavy that she could barely support herself on her toes after getting on.

I rode Chung Man-mei's bicycle at the hospital before, but that bicycle was a size 26, which was a whole size too small. Now that I'm riding such a big bicycle, I don't know if I can ride it well.

Unable to worry about anything else, Xia Qiuran pushed her bike and walked out.

I tried several times on the street before I could finally ride that old-fashioned bicycle steadily.

Having gradually mastered the method, Xia Qiuran discovered that although this heavy 28-inch bicycle was much faster than Zhong Wenmei's 26-inch bicycle.

The larger wheels really made a difference. Xia Qiuran gradually became bolder, and coupled with her anxious mood, she unconsciously increased the pressure on her feet. In a short while, she had already overtaken several other people riding bicycles on the street.

Just then, a little girl suddenly ran out from the intersection ahead. Xia Qiuran's eyes widened instantly, and she hurriedly squeezed the brakes with all her might.

The rubber tires screeched against the ground, and the car came to a sudden stop. At that moment, there was only half a step between her and the little girl. Xia Qiuran broke out in a cold sweat and staggered off the car to avoid a disaster.

Xia Qiuran rode her bicycle again, this time much slower. If she were to bump into someone, it would be disastrous, and she would definitely be late for the station. There was still enough time, so it was better to be cautious.

Just around the next corner is the train station, and you can already see the station's iconic clock tower. Xia Qiuran was on high alert, afraid of encountering what had just happened again.

God help her, I hope she arrives before the train departs.

Xia Qiuran tries to ride her bike as close to the roadside as possible.

"ah."

A scream.

Just as Xia Qiuran reached the last bend, an old woman suddenly lay down in front of Xia Qiuran's car.

She wasn't riding very fast, so how could this happen? And it seems her bike didn't even hit the old lady.

"Grandma, are you alright?"

Following the principle of saving lives first, Xia Qiuran quickly stepped forward to help the old lady up.

"How come I'm alright? I can't move my arm at all." The old lady sat on the ground groaning, but refused to get up.

Xia Qiuran lifted the old lady's arm and took a look. She immediately felt that it was an old injury. Her arm must have been injured before, causing it to dislocate whenever it encountered any weight.

Seeing the old woman sitting on the ground for a long time without any rain, Xia Qiuran basically concluded that this was a place for staged accidents.

Normally, he would have called the police and argued with her, but today was a special case, and he didn't have time to stay here and reason with her.

Xia Qiuran searched all over his body and found two yuan and forty cents, which he handed directly to the old lady.

"Grandma, I'm a doctor. Your arm must have been injured before, right? I'll set the dislocated bone for you now. Here's two yuan and forty cents, consider it compensation for your nutrition expenses. Is that alright?" Xia Qiuran said after handing over the money.

To everyone's surprise, the old lady only glanced at it, then turned her head away and snorted disdainfully, as if this amount of money wasn't even worthy of his attention.

"Young man, who do you think you are? You can't just hit someone and leave them begging. You think you can give me two yuan and forty cents to a beggar?"

Xia Qiuran was about to retort, but then she remembered that she was in a hurry, so she held back.

"I was in a rush today and this is all I have. Grandma, what happened to your arm? Did I bump into it? You should know better than me. You won't lose out by taking these two dollars and forty cents."

The old lady was taken aback. There was indeed something wrong with her arm; the bones would dislocate if she exerted even a little force.

Most people who come to train stations are in a hurry to catch their trains, so she deliberately chose this place and used this skill to extort money from pedestrians, and she was almost always successful.

The person in front of me is just a young girl. So what if she really is studying medicine? I'll scare her a couple more times later and I don't believe she won't be scared.

"What are you saying? I'm so old, would I really slander a little girl like you?"

"Seeing how anxious you are, I won't try to scam you. Just give me 20 yuan and you can leave," the old woman said, glaring at her.

"I told you, this is all the money I have in my pocket. If you don't want it, there's nothing I can do," Xia Qiuran said anxiously.

She glanced at her watch; the train was leaving in 10 minutes. She didn't have time to argue with this conman, so she threw down the two yuan and forty cents, pushed her bicycle, and headed away.

"Oh dear, this is outrageous! Young people are bullying the elderly."

To everyone's surprise, the old lady wasn't afraid of this at all. She sat down and hugged Xia Qiuran's leg tightly. Although she only had one hand, her movements were skilled and fluid, clearly indicating that she was a seasoned veteran.

Xia Qiuran tugged twice, but it didn't budge.

She kept turning her head to look in the direction of the train station, her fingertips clenched so tightly they turned white, and cold sweat broke out on her nose. There were only 6 minutes left; if she didn't leave now, it would really be too late.

Xia Qiuran thought for a moment, but having no other choice, she finally simply stood the car up.

The burning anxiety in his chest gradually subsided, and he let out a long sigh, adopting a posture of simply waiting it out, and calmly looked at the old lady.

"Grandma, you want justice, don't you? Well, I'll give you justice today. We'll go to the police station right now. If the police officer says I have to give you 20 yuan, I'll go home and get the money right away. But let me warn you beforehand, extortion doesn't discriminate based on age. If it's a confirmed crime, you'll be locked up in jail."

Xia Qiuran grabbed the old lady's wrist and started walking towards the police station.

"Walk."

"Hey, weren't you in a hurry to get to the train station? If you go to the police station, you'll miss your train."

Upon hearing Xia Qiuran's words, a hint of panic clearly appeared on the old lady's face.

She's a repeat offender; she'll definitely be recognized as soon as she enters the police station. At that point, forget about compensation; she'll probably just be arrested and put in for re-education.

"I'm not going to catch the train. I've already missed my chance, so it doesn't matter." Xia Qiuran's tone was resolute, and her eyes flashed with a cold light.

After a brief standoff, the old lady finally couldn't hold back any longer and quickly changed her tune, "Fine, fine, two yuan and forty cents it is, just let me go, I'm not going to the police station."

The old lady picked up the two yuan and forty cents on the ground, then quickly stood up. With a little effort, she lifted her injured arm and moved it around a couple of times before everything was back to normal.

Xia Qiuran was speechless at the sight. This must be the ancestor of staged accidents. There was no time to argue. With only three minutes left, she got on her bike and sped towards the train station.

After asking around and running as fast as I could, I finally found the train that Lu Zhenghan was on.

5:01.

Xia Qiuran ran desperately, her hair disheveled by the wind and clinging tightly to her sweat-drenched cheeks.

But by the time she reached the platform, the train wheels were already slowly rolling forward, and the train whistle was deep and melodious. Xia Qiuran kept running forward, hoping that the train would suddenly stop or that she could catch a glimpse of Lu Zhenghan through a window.

But none of the things she had hoped for happened until the train disappeared into the distance.

Xia Qiuran felt as if all her strength had been drained away in that instant, and she collapsed to the ground.
