——
The Trans University First Hospital isn’t far from Cloud Capital University.
The two of them hailed a cab at the school gate and arrived in about ten minutes.
Directly to the inpatient departnt.
The elderly woman hadn’t woken up yet. She was hit by a bicycle, fell and hurt her head, and suffered a mild cerebral hemorrhage, requiring conservative ergency treatnt.
The doctor said that because of her age, it’s uncertain when she might wake up, so they should observe her for 48 hours first. They’ll have to wait and see what happens when she wakes up.
Mia Ginger and Alexander Miller walked towards the ward, and from afar, they heard Tong Tong’s aggrieved voice defending herself.
"Auntie, please believe , it really wasn’t . It was a guy in front of who hit her. He hit her and then rode away quickly on his bike. I’m just worried that grandma’s treatnt might be delayed, so I called and brought her to the hospital to wait for you."
"Spare ! You sound so sincere, but who would be so kind nowadays? I think you’re just scared you killed soone and are too guilty to leave. The old lady is in a coma now; it doesn’t matter to you, does it? What if she becos a vegetable? Will you take care of her then?"
"Exactly, exactly, 300,000 yuan is already too little. What if she becos a vegetable? No way, the doctor said she won’t die, but what if she stays like this? Selling everything we have wouldn’t be enough to support her. You need to pay 800,000 yuan, not a cent less!"
After the woman finished speaking, the man started up again. Clearly, they were the son and daughter-in-law of the elderly woman, and their attitude was extrely nasty.
Mia frowned when she saw who they were.
The middle-aged man and woman weren’t very tall, both probably over forty, with rough, ruddy complexions. The woman’s hair was perd and dyed a wine red, tied ssily at the back, and the man had his jacket unzipped, a large nose, and small eyes that exuded a stubborn, unreasonable vibe.
As the three were talking, they looked up and noticed Mia Ginger and Alexander Miller.
Tong Tong quickly called out, "Advisor."
"The teacher is here," the middle-aged woman nudged the man.
The man snorted coldly, directly asking Alexander Miller, "Are you this girl’s teacher?"
"Yes, if there’s anything, you can speak with ."
"Can you make decisions?" The man raised an eyebrow skeptically.
Alexander Miller restrained himself, "You should explain the situation first."
"I’m telling her teacher, this is what happened." The middle-aged woman pushed her man forward and pointed at Tong Tong, "Your student, during class ti, went outside to ride a bicycle. Quite coincidentally, she hit my mother. The old lady is nearly seventy, suffered a cerebral hemorrhage, and is hospitalized. The doctor said she might beco a vegetable. Now what? If you want to settle privately, give us 800,000 yuan, and we’re even. Otherwise, let’s et in court!"
"800,000 yuan?" Alexander Miller furrowed his brow tightly.
"Yes, 800,000 yuan, not a cent less!" the man emphasized.
"It really wasn’t !" Tong Tong was extrely anxious, looking at Alexander Miller and quickly explaining, "I didn’t have class this morning, so I went to Lee Village to see the apricot blossoms by bicycle. On North Star Avenue, a guy in front of hit the old lady and ran. I couldn’t help it; no one else was around at the ti either, so I had to call for an ambulance. The old lady even woke up once in the ambulance."
"Woke up?" Alexander Miller asked quickly, "What did she say?"
"Just..." Tong Tong said dejectedly, "Just gave this uncle’s phone number, then passed out again."
Alexander Miller: "..."
Mia Ginger: "..."
"It really wasn’t ." Tong Tong was almost in tears, repeatedly emphasizing, "I didn’t hit anyone. I don’t ride that fast. It really wasn’t who hit her. When I ran over, the old lady even glanced at and asked to call for an ambulance."
"You make it sound nice. The doctor said she might not even wake up, and you’re just wiping your hands clean. Nice try!"
"Exactly! I think it was you who hit her. Little girl, you don’t learn well, lying through your teeth. If you don’t admit it, we’ll see you in court. I don’t believe it; what kind of quality do students have these days?"
"How can you talk like this? Isn’t the old lady still unconscious? Once she wakes up, everything will be clear." Mia Ginger was so infuriated that she couldn’t hold back anymore.
"How am I talking? I’ll talk however I want. What business is it of yours, little girl? It’s not your mom lying in there, so of course you’re not worried," the middle-aged man sneered at her, pointing at her nose.
Mia brushed his hand away angrily, saying coldly, "Don’t worry, Tong Tong. If you stand tall, you’re not afraid of your shadow. There are people in this world who just turn things upside down, and it’s useless to talk to them."
"Who’s turning things upside down?!"
"Whoever’s doing it, I’m talking about them, don’t take it personally!"
The middle-aged man choked and then said to Alexander Miller, "Look at your student!"
Alexander Miller coughed dryly, "Everyone, calm down."
"800,000 yuan!"
"Yes, 800,000 yuan, not a cent less!"
The middle-aged couple reiterated with cold faces.
Mia Ginger said angrily, "Not even eight cents!"
The man raised his hand as if to hit her, but Alexander Miller quickly intervened, saying sternly, "It’s wrong to hit people. Let’s talk this out."
"Let him hit !" Mia turned her head and stood right in front of the man, sarcastically saying, "You lay a finger on today, and you’ll pay 8 million!"
The middle-aged man: "..."
Those who are unreasonable are afraid of eting soone even more unreasonable, and he couldn’t be bothered with Mia.
He said to Alexander Miller again, "Anyway, this girl can’t leave. No one can sway . 800,000 yuan, not a cent less."
"It wasn’t , I said it wasn’t !" Tong Tong was so angry she stomped her foot.
Mia looked at her and suddenly said, "Call the police then. Also, check the surveillance from the accident site and see if there’s any footage. Helping others and getting blad—this grievance can’t be swallowed, wouldn’t pay a cent. Paying would only encourage malpractice!"
"It wasn’t ," Tong Tong said, aggrieved, to Alexander Miller, "I’m willing to report to the police."
"Then report to the police, who’s afraid of whom!" the middle-aged man said, furiously.
The woman chid in, "Exactly, report to the police imdiately. I can’t believe it; these little girls are so capable nowadays!"
Mia Ginger looked coldly at her for a mont.
Alexander Miller sighed, asked Tong Tong about the incident location, and called the police.
