“Hey! Why aren’t you saying anything?”

“It’s outrageous! Even an old lady like me gets intentionally pushed down! Isn’t this bullying an elderly person?”

“Oh, my back hurts so much! You have to compensate me!”

“That young lady must have injured this old lady’s back…”

The old lady who had grabbed the person started wailing.

The surrounding crowd gradually gathered.

Besides the few people who had witnessed the incident from the beginning, others were attracted by the commotion.

They had no idea what had happened.

When they heard the elderly man wailing, they instinctively believed it was real.

Their gazes toward the young man changed immediately.

“I have to say, young lady, you actually pushed an old lady of her age…”

“It’s shameless, isn’t it? How can there be someone like this young lady?”

“This is elder abuse, isn’t it?”

“Oh my, young people these days have no manners… Could it be she’s taking out her frustrations on the old lady…”

“This looks pretty serious…”

Of course, while some were fooled, a few remained skeptical.

“Could it be? I’ve been here for a while, and this young lady seemed to be helping the old lady…?”

“This old lady was already lying on the ground, wasn’t she?”

“Could she be the victim of a staged accident?”

Whispers circulated among the crowd.

When the term ‘staged accident’ reached the ears of the old lady, she widened her eyes and angrily retorted, “Nonsense!”

“How could I, an old lady, be the one to stage an accident!? It was this young lady who pushed me!”

“No, both of you should compensate me… You, and her too! 1 have severe back pain now, and it’s your fault. You need to pay…”

“You as well, two thousand… no, twenty thousand dollars for medical expenses should do!”

The old lady, as she spoke, gave the person she had grabbed a quick once-over and even checked out the person’s clothes. She then quickly changed her story.

The young woman, who seemed nervous before, now looked surprised.

“Ma’am, do you know what it means to fake an accident?” she asked.

Hearing this, the old lady’s face tensed up.

“What, a staged accident! Don’t make things up! It’s clear you bumped into me.

Why are you acting like this, young lady?”

“Don’t want to pay up, huh? Well, let me tell you…”

The old lady’s words got cut off by the young woman.

With a cold, unemotional expression, the young woman continued, “There are security cameras here. If you falsely accuse me, we’ll meet at the police station.”

“If you want to keep making mistakes, we’ll take this to court. I have plenty of time, I’m not afraid.”

“I haven’t done anything wrong. When the time comes, you can see… whose side the law will be on.”

The young woman spoke calmly, and she pulled her hand away with a swift motion. Her confidence was unwavering, and she wasn’t the least bit scared.

It was the old lady who had been taken aback.

Following the direction the young woman had pointed, the old lady noticed a surveillance camera hanging in a nearby corner.

She immediately took a sharp breath.

She had assumed the young woman appeared easy to deal with and was skilled at staging accidents.

But, it turned out she had underestimated the situation.

“Forget it, forget it, what bad luck!”

The old lady, who had been lying pale on the ground, suddenly got up, showing no signs of weakness.

“This is pointless!”

She subconsciously glanced at the nearby surveillance camera, feeling a little uneasy inside.

How did she not notice the camera here?

What bad luck!

Thinking this, the old lady quickly scanned the people around her and then hurried away.

She even ran swiftly.

After witnessing this, the onlookers, who had initially been enjoying the spectacle, finally realized they had been tricked…

Immediately, they became angry and started venting to the people around them.

“Goodness…”

“This old lady really was faking it, that’s just too much…”

“She even slandered that young girl, how shameless!”

“I thought she was pitiable, but sheesh! The morals these days are declining, people’s hearts are not the same as before…”

“Young lady, are you okay?”

“I didn’t realize that even the bad guys are getting old…”

The voices of the crowd surrounded her, but Zhao Ruoxi paid them no mind and stood up. She was about to walk out of the crowd.

Indeed, the familiar figure that Su Xuan had seen was none other than Zhao Ruoxi!

As she turned her head, she saw Su Xuan, who was smiling at her in the crowd. She paused for a moment, then looked puzzled.

Hastily, she walked over and asked, “Su Xuan, what are you doing here?”

Su Xuan watched how she had managed to scare off the scammer with just a few words and couldn’t help but admire her.

Now, hearing Zhao Ruoxi’s question, he pointed towards the entrance of the anti-pickpocket team not far away.

“Recently, there’s been a big operation, and I’ve been temporarily transferred here.”

“How about you? Are you here to have fun in the city?”

Hearing this, Zhao Ruoxi shook her head and squatted down. She reached out to rub her ankle, which she had nearly twisted when she was running too fast, and then stood up with a wobbly gait. Su Xuan steadied her.

“No, I’m here for work too.”

“Didn’t you notice that there are fewer thieves at the stations recently? Our station was commended by the central station.”

“This time, there’s some kind of event, and 1 was asked to come over.”

“I never expected to encounter this just as I arrived…”

She went on, recalling how she had almost been fooled, shaking her head in resignation.

“If I had known, I wouldn’t have bothered.”

“Who could have imagined…”

It turned out that was a scammer!

Su Xuan looked at her helpless expression, and a faint smile tugged at his lips. His gaze softened as he spoke.

“If it happened again, would you still step in to help?”

“Huh?”

His question caught Zhao Ruoxi off guard.

Su Xuan continued, “If you saw someone fall, would you still go to their aid? Your rescue skills earlier were quite precise.”

“Well…”

Zhao Ruoxi blushed slightly and spoke, “After all, the train station can be a crowded place, and similar situations can occasionally occur. I just didn’t expect there would be so many scammers outside. Fortunately, there was surveillance footage this time; otherwise, 1 wouldn’t know how to explain it…”

Su Xuan couldn’t help but smile at her exasperated expression.

“Thank goodness you’re clever. I was thinking of going up there, but when I saw you handling it on your own, I didn’t intervene. I didn’t expect my blind date to be such a decisive woman. Impressive.”

Upon hearing this, Zhao Ruoxi’s face turned red. She shot Su Xuan a playful glare and said, “Oh, come on! It’s almost noon; have you eaten? Since we’re both in the city, how about I treat you to lunch?”

Zhao Ruoxi hesitated for a moment, subconsciously meeting Su Xuan’s sincere eyes. The words of refusal got stuck in her throat, and she nodded instead.

“Sure….”
