Five Thousand Yuan and Instant Karma
Are you a doctor?
The man held his report, tilted his head back, and glanced sideways at Su Ziyang.
"I am."
Su Ziyang nodded.
"Are you planning to mediate privately, or should we go through with Lord Jing?"
"Sir, go ahead and call the police. I have the whole story here; the authorities will be more accommodating then."
The train police officer, unable to bear the man's despicable face any longer, shouted angrily.
Su Ziyang wanted nothing more than to kick him back, but he managed to control his emotions, which were about to spiral out of control. Su Ziyang nodded in agreement with the police officer's statement.
Finally, the local police station also arrived.
After the three parties mediated, everyone was a bit confused.
This kind of thing is really difficult to handle; nobody has experience with it. According to the video provided by the train police officer, she had indeed been lying on the ground for quite a while.
Moreover, the initial nitroglycerin and other medications were administered by the flight attendants.
The entire rescue operation, from start to finish, took a long time, and the train police officer recorded it clearly, without a single mistake.
The man who wouldn't let Su Ziyang leave changed his expression somewhat when he saw Su Ziyang sweating profusely as he pressed on his forehead and even picked the dirt out of his mouth.
"If you do this, you owe me five thousand yuan. I'll consider it payment for my injury recovery, okay?"
I don't know what his mindset was, but he still managed to utter those words in a trembling voice.
As soon as this person finished speaking, Su Ziyang's brows furrowed so deeply that they almost formed knots, and the staff around him were also dumbfounded.
I initially thought his expression showed shame and gratitude, but it turned out he was haggling.
"Did I go and refuse?"
Su Ziyang's attitude was also very tough, and the police officers were quite helpless, not knowing what to say.
"Put your hand on your heart and tell me, shouldn't he compensate you? Your heart stopped beating, and when we got there, you were cold to the touch! He's your savior, and you're trying to extort money from him?! Tell me, what were you thinking?"
The train police officer couldn't take it anymore and roared at the man.
The man's face grew even uglier, but he still sternly craned his neck and glared at Su Ziyang.
"I broke a rib, so asking for 5,000 yuan for nutritional supplements isn't unreasonable, is it?"
Seeing the commotion, the emergency room doctor roughly understood what had happened.
But when faced with such a situation, the old doctor could only sigh and say, "A scholar can't reason with a soldier."
The train police officer jumped up in frustration, Su Ziyang was helpless, and the police officer who came to mediate also seemed a little uneasy.
"Okay. I'll compensate you five thousand yuan. Do you want cash or bank transfer?"
As soon as Su Ziyang said this, the police officer next to him suddenly grabbed Su Ziyang's arm and gave Su Ziyang a wink while frowning.
"Either is fine. I accept bank transfers."
When the man saw that Su Ziyang was really going to give him money, he couldn't hide his joy.
The police officer standing nearby sighed as well, saying that mediation should be based on the principle of mutual consent.
Since both sides had agreed, they had nothing more to say.
After writing a mediation agreement, he pressed his fingerprint and signed it, and then Su Ziyang transferred the money to him.
"Officer, is everything alright? Can I go now?"
The man looked at the extra 5,000 yuan in his WeChat and said happily, as if the pain in his chest had disappeared.
"It's alright. You can go now."
The two police officers were also angry and waved the man away, indicating that he could leave.
The man, humming a tune, walked out of the hospital while holding his phone. The hospital's emergency room was located in a very conspicuous place, just a short walk from the roadside.
The guy stood smugly on the side of the road, ready to hail a taxi.
Su Ziyang didn't feel any resentment, but rather a sense of helplessness about the difficulty of being a good person.
The three people next to them were so angry they were practically grinding their teeth.
Just as the group was watching the man standing there waving for a taxi, a black Volkswagen came hurtling towards him like a madman.
The guy was so smug that he didn't notice his surroundings.
The person was seen being thrown away at the speed of light. After the person was thrown away, the car stopped, and a female driver with a dazed expression got out.
The moment the man was sent flying, the three older men were stunned, then exclaimed in unison, "This must be karma!"
"Alright, let's continue with the patrols."
The two men took out their walkie-talkies and began reporting, then contacted the traffic police and the doctors at the emergency room.
"Why don't you try to save him again?"
The senior train police officer looked at Su Ziyang and smiled slightly.
Logically, after a car accident, people should feel fear and sympathy, but this guy was so infuriating that now that he's been thrown into the air, everyone just feels relieved.
Despite being so close to the hospital emergency room, the ambulance was useless. Some doctors came out, but upon closer inspection, it seemed there was no need for any resuscitation efforts.
Blood flowed all over the ground, and the scene was horrific.
Let's go.
Su Ziyang shook his head and sighed, "This is fate."
This was the first time Su Ziyang, who had been taking the train for so many years, had ever gotten a train ride through "back channels".
I have to say it was pretty fun.
Although there were some minor setbacks on the way back, it didn't diminish my joy at seeing Fairy Li.
"Doctor Su, you've lost money, haven't you? Haha."
This wasn't the first time Su Ziyang had witnessed Fairy Li's divine calculations. The moment they met, Fairy Li covered her mouth and mocked Su Ziyang.
"Losing money is better than losing your life. Hehehe."
Su Ziyang didn't care about the gain or loss of the five thousand yuan. Having witnessed the law of cause and effect once again, and with the justice of heaven clearly revealed, Su Ziyang's understanding deepened once more.
"Fairy Li, no, landlady, we're out of food this month, we can't afford to eat. Could you please kindly refund some of this month's rent?"
Su Ziyang joked with Fairy Li with a grin.
Fairy Li jumped onto Su Ziyang's back. "How about this, I'll provide you with food and drink. But the rent can't be reduced by a single penny, and there's also the water and electricity bill!"
"See, you're not being sincere at all."
Su Ziyang carried Fairy Li on his back to the nearest noodle shop. Dumplings on the way up, noodles on the way down, his mood was turbulent, and he wanted to wish for good luck.
"You're not refunding my rent, but you're still feeding and providing for me. Am I just a pushover?"
"What does that mean? What does 'a pancake rolled up with your fingers' mean?" Fairy Li asked, perched on Su Ziyang's back, puzzled.
"Eating yourself, huh? Hahaha."
I'll make you eat yourself!
Fairy Li bit Su Ziyang on the neck.
"Stop, stop, stop! Wrong, wrong."
Fairy Li really bit him, not pretending. It hurt so much that Su Ziyang grimaced, but he still held tightly to Fairy Li's leg, afraid that she would fall.
After eating a bowl of noodles, Fairy Li treated them, and Su Ziyang was overjoyed. The two strolled along the road for a long time before finally returning home.
