After the train police separated the two, Xie Yan, supported by someone, gritted his teeth and limped to the train police.

He grabbed a railway police officer with an upright appearance. He had originally intended to restrain himself and pretend to be pitiful, but the sharp pain in his buttocks made him speak in a tearful voice, full of grievance and helplessness: "Comrades! You've finally come! If you hadn't come, this big savage would have beaten me to death!"

"Waaaaah~"

"I really can't understand what I did wrong."

As he spoke, he turned around and pointed with a trembling finger at the woman behind him, “This older lady came over and insisted on switching seats with me. I bought these tickets specifically so I could take care of my sister on the way! I spoke to her very nicely and was extremely courteous, but I don’t know if she was hard of hearing, but after I explained it to her properly, she actually started crying.”

"As soon as she started crying, that savage grabbed me without saying a word, lifted me high, and almost strangled me to death."

"My brother-in-law saw that I was about to be strangled to death, so he rushed over to help. But when this savage saw my brother-in-law, he just threw me over there like I was trash!"

“Oh dear! My health wasn’t good to begin with, and I was exhausted from the busy farming season this year. I had just recovered a little when I received a letter from home saying that an elder was seriously ill and that I needed to rush back immediately.”

"I was already extremely anxious the whole way, and then this happened. Why am I so unlucky!"

As he spoke, Xie Yan lowered his head and deliberately coughed heavily, the cough sounding heart-wrenching, as if his entire lungs were about to be coughed out.

The onlookers were startled by the cough and took a step back, their faces full of pity and regret.

It's so pitiful to see a grown man beaten like this!

It immediately drew everyone's attention, completely ignoring the woman crying her eyes out.

This upright police officer couldn't stand such a thing. He gently patted Xie Yan's back with concern while glaring fiercely at the big guy over there.

Upon seeing this, the train police officer believed Xie Yan's words even more, since Xie Yan's weak and miserable appearance didn't seem like an act.

The older sister, who had just been crying, couldn't hold back anymore. She rushed over and knelt down next to Xie Yan with a thud. Her body trembled as she said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, comrade. It's my fault. I shouldn't have thought about letting the child rest comfortably. I shouldn't have even considered changing to a sleeper berth."

"It's all my fault. You can hit me or scold me, just please forgive me. Otherwise, I'll kowtow to you to apologize."

As she spoke, she actually started kowtowing repeatedly, the sound of her forehead hitting the ground particularly jarring in the now quiet carriage.

Xie Yan narrowed his eyes and sneered inwardly: Trying to use moral blackmail on me? Heh heh heh!

He pretended to help the woman up, then deliberately fell to the ground, clutching his lower back tightly with both hands, his face showing an expression of extreme pain.

There's no need to pretend at all; they can just be themselves.

From that expression, any man could guess where the injury was.

Sure enough, the crowd that had just felt a little sympathy for the woman instantly changed their expressions. "W-w-w, could she have hurt her back?!" an older woman exclaimed, covering her mouth in surprise.

"That's possible. Didn't you see that this person has been holding his back since just now?" an older man next to him chimed in.

The young man who had just helped Xie Yan went even further, shouting, "He just broke his back. I saw him fall to the ground and couldn't get up. I had to help him up."

Upon hearing this, a chorus of sighs arose from those around. "How pitiful! He's so young, and someone has already injured his back. What will he do now?"

"That's right, what decent family's daughter would want to marry someone like that? He'll definitely be a bachelor for life!" Everyone chimed in, expressing their sympathy for Xie Yan's plight.

The train police officers were also frightened when they heard this. They had thought it was just a regular fight, but now it seemed that the situation was not good!

Seeing Xie Yan pale with pain and beads of sweat rolling down his forehead, the train police officer didn't dare delay and quickly and carefully helped him to the train's medical room.

The infirmary was filled with a faint smell of disinfectant. The white walls and clean beds gave off a cold feeling at that moment.

The medical staff quickly conducted a thorough examination of Xie Yan, gently pressing on his lower back. Each movement made Xie Yan gasp involuntarily.

After a series of examinations, it was finally confirmed that Xie Yan had indeed injured his back.

Gu Bin was terrified. He grabbed the medical staff member's shoulder and shouted, "Could there be a mistake in the examination? Could it be a mistake?!"

"How did you injure your back!"

The medical staff calmly pried Gu Bin's hand away, saying, "You can also get off the bus and go to the hospital for a check-up. My equipment here is basic, so there's a possibility of errors."

Gu Bin was about to say something when Xie Yan quickly interrupted him.

He smiled apologetically at the doctor.

The doctor calmly nodded to Xie Yan, then turned and left.

He'd seen plenty of families with mentally ill members like this, so he wasn't surprised at all!

Only after confirming that the doctor had walked away did Xie Yan glare at Gu Bin.

Gu Bin was quite helpless. Although he knew that his actions just now were a bit excessive, it was all for this guy's sake!

As a result, he's playing the bad guy here, while this guy is playing the good guy!

Seeing that he still didn't understand what she meant, Xie Yan could only call the man over and explain in a low voice, "He injured his back, but it's not very serious."

Gu Bin: "Then..."

After he spoke, he understood. He patted his head in frustration. He had been so frightened by Xie Yan's injuries that he was almost out of his mind. Luckily, the doctor hadn't held it against him.

Seeing that the guy understood, Xie Yan waved his hand and said, "Don't stay with me, go and look after your sister-in-law and the children."

Seeing that Xie Yan was indeed fine, Gu Bin stopped worrying about him.

With the doctor's certificate, the rest became much simpler.

After all, the nature of the incident has changed; it is no longer just a simple fight dispute, but involves economic compensation issues.

Moreover, the investigation revealed that the woman had not actually bought a sleeper ticket and wanted to exchange it; she had bought a standing ticket but was trying to forcibly exchange it for a sleeper ticket through this means.

Such behavior is utterly despicable.

Finally, at Xie Yan's request, the police ordered the big man to pay Xie Yan 300 yuan in medical expenses.

The two men immediately exploded upon hearing this.

Especially that big guy, he was a complete unreasonable brute. When he heard that he had to pay compensation, his eyes widened, and instead of paying, he became like an angry bull and attacked the train police officer.

He was waving his thick arms and cursing under his breath, looking as fierce as if he wanted to devour everyone.

The woman also joined in, crying and wiping away her tears while shouting that the train police were biased towards Xie Yan and were bullying them.

The shrill, piercing cries echoed through the narrow aisle of the train carriage, making one feel irritated and disturbed.
