Beep — Beep — Beep —

Accompanied by the flickering of yellow lights, the subway doors closed, and the train began to shake again.

As the train passed some peak stations, the number of passengers in the carriage started to dwindle, and the seat next to Luo Chao soon became vacant.

The girl stood for a while, her slender legs began to ache, so she reluctantly sat beside Luo Chao.

The girl sat idly in her seat, folded her arms, and watched today's news on the subway's moving TV.

"Clinton loses, Trump elected as President of the United States!"

"Fuel prices increase at dawn today!"

"Springhua Road's dead-end overpass, two cars consecutively fell off the overpass, citizens must pay attention to driving safety!"

Upon hearing this news, Luo Chao's ears moved slightly, and he quickly took off his headphones.

Without a doubt, this news reported his recent experience.

"Huahai City truly deserves to be a top-tier city; reporters sure are quick!" Luo Chao silently sighed as he looked at the news footage on the TV screen.

Buzz —

Suddenly, the TV screen was forcibly switched back to the studio.

The host, somewhat excited, said, "We just received the latest news: an unexplained explosion occurred at the Huahai Daily building! Now let's look at the report sent back by our station's reporter from the scene!"

Soon, the screen cut back to outdoors, but this time the location changed to the bottom of a building spewing thick black smoke.

And this building was the Huahai Daily's office building.

"No doubt, this is a premeditated terrorist attack!" The outdoor reporter held a microphone and pointed at the office building emitting thick black smoke.

Upon hearing the sensitive word "terrorist attack," the passengers in the carriage all raised their heads to look at the live news broadcast.

"According to information I obtained from the police at the scene, the explosion was preceded by a phone call to the police warning of the attack!" The outdoor reporter said with excitement, "But, due to the timely response of our police, this explosion did not cause any casualties!"

Hearing that there were no casualties, everyone's tense nerves finally relaxed, and some even breathed a sigh of relief.

Ding dong—

"Passengers getting off the train, please pay attention, passengers getting off the train, please pay attention..."

At this moment, the subway broadcast came with a sweet female voice announcing the station, and Luo Chao glanced at the platform, confirming that the next stop was Huahai City First People's Hospital, and he stood up.

Simultaneously, the girl next to Luo Chao also stood up.

"Oh, little sister, are you getting off at this stop too?" Luo Chao asked in surprise.

"Hmph! It's none of your business!" The girl glanced at Luo Chao disdainfully.

At this time, the subway broadcast continued reporting.

"Passengers getting off the train, please note that due to operational adjustments, this train will not stop at First People's Hospital Station, please understand!"

Not stopping?

That's odd!

Luo Chao was slightly stunned, watching the subway speed past the platform, estimating that the passengers waiting for the subway on the platform were equally depressed.

Yet, despite this, the train continued without stopping and plunged into the darkness ahead in the tunnel.

There was no choice, Luo Chao shook his head and sat back down.

The other passengers on the subway also had slight complaints, but fortunately, today was a holiday, so there weren't many passengers in a hurry, and they could just take the subway train in the opposite direction at the next stop.

After sitting down again, Luo Chao suddenly grabbed the fair wrist of the girl.

"What are you doing!"

The girl didn't expect Luo Chao to do this and blushed, hurriedly trying to withdraw her wrist from Luo Chao's hand.

But just as she was about to exert force, she suddenly felt a comfortable warm flow from her wrist, momentarily forgetting that her wrist was held by a stranger she disliked.

"Don't get excited, I'm a doctor, I noticed you looked pale and I'm just checking your pulse to examine your health!" Luo Chao said while pouting.

Earlier, he noticed that even though the girl seemed energetic, her complexion was very pale, and her body would occasionally tremble slightly.

Add to that her intention to go to First People's Hospital, Luo Chao suspected she might have some illness.

"You're checking... health? Regardless of what you're thinking, let me remind you, I'm a minor, and if you're thinking of that... at least three years, at most the death penalty!" The girl said fearfully.

However, Luo Chao pretended not to hear, becoming serious because he had discovered a severe illness on the girl!

Ding dong—

The carriage broadcast sounded again.

"Passengers please note, passengers please note..."

"It's time to get off, let go, I'm getting off!" The girl said with an angry face.

By this time, Luo Chao had finished checking the girl's health, and sensibly released her wrist.

Although Luo Chao had good intentions, he didn't want to be mistaken for a pervert harassing a minor girl.

Luo Chao and the girl, along with a group of passengers preparing to get off, moved to the door to await disembarkation.

"Passengers please note, due to operational adjustments, this train will not stop at this station, please understand!"

The crowd gathered at the door was suddenly stunned.

Regardless of being not in a hurry, they couldn't bear this train repeatedly messing around!

Many people started complaining, but it was to no avail, and they could only return to their seats.

Luo Chao shrugged his shoulders and returned to his seat with the girl.

The train continued roaring forward.

Some passengers started to take out their phones, calling family or sending complaints in their WeChat Moments about this subway.

Others sighed a few times and started chatting with people on the other end of their phones.

It seemed that no one would consider this a big deal.

While Luo Chao began watching the news broadcast on the moving TV in the carriage again.

"From my position, one can see that although the fire caused by the explosion has been controlled by the firefighters, thick black smoke is still billowing out of the building...".

The outdoor reporter pointed at the exploded office building.

Suddenly, the outdoor reporter's expression changed. She covered her earphones and nodded her head, seemingly receiving some latest news.

She then quickly straightened her microphone and said, "According to the latest news our station obtained from the police, the terrorists called the police again with a bomb threat!"

Simultaneously, the subway broadcast sounded once more.

"Due to operational adjustments, this train will not stop at any station. On behalf of all employees of Metro Line One, I express our most sincere apologies for the inconvenience caused to our dear passengers. We hope passengers can patiently await, thank you!"

As the words fell, in an instant, another subway platform roared past the window!
