Lin Ran didn't give her a chance to continue organizing her thoughts. He pointed at the woman and addressed the crowd, saying, "Dear uncles and aunts, please listen to me."

"I don't know this woman at all. She just suddenly came up to me and asked me..."

He paused, as if the woman's words were something he found difficult to say.

He then tugged at the school badge on his uniform, his face showing the typical student's grievance and indignation.

"I'm still a student!"

He snorted coldly and said sharply, "Don't you even know how to look in the mirror!"

Lin Ran's sarcasm was like the last straw that broke the camel's back, finally shattering the woman's reason completely.

In a fit of extreme shame and anger, the woman screamed and lunged at Lin Ran, trying to grab his face.

"Aaaaaaahh ...

"I'm going to kill you!!!"

Lin Ran moved to the side, easily dodging the woman's attack.

The woman missed her attack, but she didn't give up and continued to pounce on Lin Ran with her claws outstretched.

Lin Ran nimbly dodged again, causing her to miss her target once more.

The two then engaged in a series of maneuvers, weaving and shifting around the stainless steel pillars of the subway station.

Lin Ran was getting a little impatient with the woman's endless fussing and was ready to add some more spice.

He dodged the woman's claws once more, raised his voice, and his tone carried a hint of wariness.

"Everyone be careful, this person is very likely hallucinating from high. I've seen drug addicts in anti-drug propaganda videos all like this."

"Everyone stay away from her, lest you get involved with drugs."

These words were highly persuasive, and a murmur of surprise erupted from the crowd.

People looked at the woman with fear and disgust, and scattered and backed away, leaving a larger circle empty.

"No wonder! He was definitely not normal!"

"Get away from here! What bad luck!"

"Did you call the police? They should arrest him immediately!"

The woman felt the contemptuous, disgusted, and fearful gazes around her.

I felt a chill slowly creep up from my feet to the top of my head, and I plopped down on the ground.

The situation developed beyond her expectations. She saw many people taking photos and videos with their phones and couldn't imagine what would happen if things continued to develop.

She didn't want to argue anymore, nor did she want to stay any longer; her only thought was to escape this suffocating place.

In a panic, she spotted a gap in the crowd and prepared to squeeze through.

"Trying to run? Not so easy!"

Several elderly men and women, full of a sense of justice, stepped forward and blocked the woman back.

A burly old man with a red armband on his arm reacted quickly and grabbed the woman's arm.

An elderly woman, empathetic and concerned, shouted at Lin Ran, "Kid, stay away from that lunatic! We've already called the police, they'll be here soon!"

The next stop was announced over the loudspeaker, and the police had already been notified and were waiting on the platform.

There were only a few minutes left until arrival, but for the woman, it felt like centuries.

It all started when someone asked, "Young man, how did you figure that out?"

Lin Ran treated her as a subject for popular science education and began to explain her to everyone in a vivid and engaging manner.

The woman was restrained and unable to move, so she could only reluctantly try to explain herself to the crowd.

"Let go of me! You've all been fooled by him! I'm the victim here; he really was the one secretly filming me!"

Lin Ran sighed:

"As you all see, this is a classic case of paranoia. Even with the evidence right in front of them, they still don't believe it. The promotional video said that this is due to drug-induced cognitive impairment, making it impossible to distinguish between reality and hallucinations..."

Seeing that her attempts to slander him were ineffective, the woman completely broke down and began to hurl insults at Lin Ran, using harsh and vulgar language.

Lin Ran returned a pitying look, then turned back to continue explaining to the crowd:

"Look everyone, this is a classic case of bipolar disorder! She explodes at the slightest provocation, completely illogical. The promotional video even said it's because drugs damaged her central nervous system..."

……

In the end, the woman realized in despair that no matter what she did, Lin Ran could always conclude that she was suffering from drug abuse.

The people around him seemed to have been brainwashed, nodding frequently in the face of Lin Ran's serious nonsense.

Some people even genuinely treated Lin Ran as a teacher and asked him questions.

"Young man, what exactly was that hallucination you were talking about?"

"Is this how they act when their cravings kick in?"

What made her even more furious was that Lin Ran could answer every question so convincingly, as if it were the truth.

For a fleeting moment, she even began to doubt whether she had unintentionally come into contact with something unclean.

She gave up completely, as if all her strength had been drained away. She plopped down on the ground, leaned against a subway pillar, and stared at the roof of the train without saying a word.

Lin Ran's voice rang out again.

"Look everyone, this is a clear sign of physical exhaustion and complete mental collapse. After extreme excitement and mania, one falls into this dual collapse of body and mind..."

……

"bite--"

The subway doors slowly opened.

Several police officers who had been waiting on the platform rushed into the train carriage.

Their gazes instantly locked onto the woman slumped against the pillar with a blank stare, and Lin Ran, who stood calmly in the middle of the crowd.

"Who called the police? What happened?" The lead officer's voice was calm and steady, carrying an unquestionable air of authority.

Lin Ran breathed a sigh of relief. The questions asked by the crowd were becoming increasingly professional, and he was almost unable to continue making up stories.

Before Lin Ran could speak, the enthusiastic crowd around him surged forward, chattering all at once.

But what these people said next left the police looking at each other, completely baffled.

"Officer, your promotional video was fantastic!"

"Officer, which TV station broadcast that promotional video? I definitely want to watch it when I get home."

"My husband's temper has been getting increasingly volatile lately. I need to investigate him when I get back to see if it's because of..."

……

Seeing this, Lin Ran quickly stepped forward and interrupted the increasingly rambling conversation, afraid of letting something slip.

The police listened carefully to both sides' statements. Although Lin Ran's tone was still tense from being frightened, his expression was clear and logical, and he explained the timeline and key details clearly.

The woman, on the other hand, was very emotional, repeatedly saying, "He secretly filmed me... He slandered me... He even hit me," her words were fragmented and it was difficult to piece together the complete facts.

The two police officers exchanged a glance, and the more experienced officer said in a deep voice:

"Don't rush, we'll find out the truth eventually."

Following procedure, they conducted detailed interviews with the two individuals and carefully examined Lin Ran's phone album, chat logs, and other potentially relevant information.

After a thorough investigation and evidence collection, the police made a final judgment based on the facts and evidence.

This cleared their names, and they were advised to shake hands and make peace.

If nothing unexpected happens, something unexpected is about to happen.

The woman refused to shake hands with Lin Ran, saying she was afraid he would take advantage of her.

Lin Ran also refused to shake hands with women, saying he was afraid of getting something unclean on him.

The two were at loggerheads, giving the police officers mediating the situation a real headache.

During this time, Lin Ran also heard a profound saying that he would only hear more than ten years later, and he felt a kind of absurd sense of temporal and spatial displacement.

Just because something hasn't happened doesn't mean he definitely won't do it!

The police officer's face darkened, and he sternly informed both parties that if they did not shake hands, it would not be considered a reconciliation, and he would take them back to the police station for investigation on charges of defamation.

The two reluctantly shook hands and made peace.

Unexpectedly, after shaking hands, Lin Ran pulled out an individually wrapped wet wipe as if by magic.

He carefully tore open the packaging bag and meticulously wiped the hand that had shaken hands with the woman.

Then, with his clean hand, he pinched a corner of the wet wipe as if it had been stained with something disgusting, and threw it into the trash can with a look of disgust.

The police officer watched Lin Ran's smooth and effortless movements, his lips twitching slightly, fearing that something else might go wrong.

Fortunately, the woman only glared at Lin Ran with a vicious look before turning around and fleeing the subway station, disappearing into the crowd.

After the police took their report and the crowd gradually dispersed, Lin Ran answered a call from his brother, Lin Feng.
