In the evening, Ji Ran came back from the laboratory, but suddenly received a call from Chu Xiaoxiao.

Ji Ran picked up his phone and answered.

"Xiaoxiao, what's wrong?" Ji Ran asked casually.

"Xiao Ran, it's over, I'm done." Chu Xiao said anxiously with a smile, as if he was very nervous.

"Xiaoxiao, what's wrong? What's the end of it? Ji Ran asked strangely.

"I hit someone, I hit an old lady." Chu Xiaoxiao said nervously, and his breathing became short.

"Huh? No way? Didn't it tell you about intelligent driving? How can you still bump into people? Ji Ran asked puzzled.

In 2025 AD, the technology of unmanned intelligent cars has been quite mature, this kind of car is equipped with a complete sensing system and intelligent braking system, once the on-board radar finds that there are people or animals in front of it, it will immediately take braking measures, and it will never touch people.

It is precisely because the safety of this smart car is much higher than that of human driving, therefore, starting in 2023 AD, a new traffic law has been promulgated.

The new traffic law stipulates that manually driven cars are not allowed on the road, and if someone operates the car on the road, once there is a traffic accident, they will be fully responsible.

So, in 2025 AD, most of the streets will be filled with driverless cars.

Even if it is a taxi driver, it is only after entering the destination for the customer, and the on-board intelligent system drives it by itself.

The smart car that Ji Ran bought newly won't have problems technically, if Chu Xiaoxiao uses the intelligent driving mode, it is impossible to hit people.

"Xiao Ran, I'm sorry, I haven't driven a car, so I wanted to drive a car by myself to experience it, but as a result, I didn't expect an accident." Chu Xiaoxiao said guiltily, it is estimated that now the intestines are repentant.

Hearing Chu Xiaoxiao say this, Ji Ran was also taken aback, "Xiaoxiao, aren't you?" They all told you not to drive yourself, why don't you listen? If you hit someone this time, you will be fully responsible. ”

Ji Ran said anxiously, his heart was in his throat, although the main responsibility for the accident was Chu Xiaoxiao, but the car was his own, and he had to pay the responsibility.

Ji Ran hung up the phone and hurried to the place where the incident occurred.

By the time Ji Ran arrived, the old lady had already been taken away by the 120 ambulance, only Chu Xiaoxiao and the car that had broken the front windshield were still parked on the side of the road.

"Xiaoxiao, what's the matter with you? They all told you not to drive by yourself, you still have to drive, and you drive so fast, now it's okay, hit someone, what do you say? Ji Ran looked at Chu Xiaoxiao and asked.

Chu Xiaoxiao lowered her head and said nothing, she didn't know what to do now.

Judging from the blood stains on the ground, the old lady seems to have hit it very badly, and in case of an accident, Na Xiaoxiao will be held legally responsible.

However, Chu Xiaoxiao's economic conditions are not good, where does she have the money to compensate others?

This matter seems to have to be solved only by Ji Ran himself.

"Xiao Ran, I'm sorry." Chu Xiaoxiao said regretfully.

Tonight's incident was purely self-inflicted, if it weren't for the fact that I drank some wine, was excited, and wanted to take a video to show off, I wouldn't have caused such a big trouble.

Ji Ran smelled that Chu Xiaoxiao's body still smelled of wine, and his head was stunned.

Manual driving is already a very serious problem, plus it's still a wine rack, my God, this is to deduct 12 points, and the rhythm of not taking the driver's license test within three years.

Moreover, Chu Xiaoxiao has never obtained a driver's license herself, which is miserable.

"Xiao Ran, help me." Chu Xiaoxiao grabbed Ji Ran's hand and pleaded.

Now that she has poked such a big basket, she knows that she is afraid, but isn't Ji Ran afraid?

Just when both of them were nervous, a police car roared in.

Three policemen got out of the car, and the three of them checked the scene, and then learned about the incident with Chu Xiaoxiao, the accident scene was very clear, coupled with the picture presented on the surveillance camera, it was completely possible to infer the speed of the car at that time, and the strength of the impact.

Although the old lady who was hit was also at fault for running a red light, if it weren't for Chu Xiaoxiao's speed, the old lady wouldn't have been knocked so far.

The accident was immediately investigated, but when the responsibility was confirmed, Chu Xiaoxiao retreated.

If I do, I'm afraid I'll be imprisoned, and maybe I'll go to jail.

"What? The scene of the accident is so clear, do you still want to deny it? The policeman stared at Chu Xiaoxiao and asked.

"Uncle I was wrong, I will never drink and drive again." Chu Xiaoxiao pleaded regretfully.

"Next time? There's no next time, so hurry up and sign it. The policeman handed the transcript to Chu Xiaoxiao and said, his tone was non-negotiable.

Chu Xiaoxiao hesitated for a moment, and looked at Ji Ran for help.

Ji Ran can't help it, you broke the law yourself, do you still want your friends to deny it with you?

Chu Xiaoxiao saw that Ji Ran had no choice, so he had to sign it and press the handprint.

"Okay, you go to the hospital first to see the old lady's condition, and the team will deal with it for you then." After the policeman finished speaking, he left.

Before leaving, he actually dragged Ji Ran's car away.

"Xiao Ran, what should I do? I don't want to go to jail. Chu Xiaoxiao said worriedly.

"I knew I was afraid, what did you do in the first place? I've been knowing that I'm crazy all day, and I'm finally in big trouble this time, right? Ji Ran rolled his eyes and said.

"Xiao Ran, don't be like this, I know it's wrong." Chu Xiaoxiao took Ji Ran's hand and pleaded.

"What else? Of course, I went to the hospital to see how the old lady was doing? Hurry up and apologize to others and strive for leniency. Ji Ran said, stopped a taxi with Chu Xiaoxiao, and went to the hospital.

When the two came to the hospital, Chu Xiaoxiao was about to go inside, but was stopped by Ji Ran.

"You're going like this?" Ji Ran frowned slightly and asked.

"So what?" Chu Xiaoxiao asked suspiciously.

"Buying some gifts, of course." Ji Ran took Chu Xiaoxiao to the supermarket next to the hospital to buy some fresh fruits and supplements, and then went to the hospital together.

After Ji Ran checked the old lady's ward number at the nurse's station, the two went to the old lady's ward together.

At this time, the old lady was on a drip on the bed.

The old lady's forehead had been broken, the bleeding had been stopped by the doctor, and the wound had been stitched up.

In order to prevent the wound from becoming infected, the doctor hung glucose and some anti-inflammatory drugs on the old lady.

Under the care of doctors and nurses, the old lady's condition was basically stabilized.

It's just that due to the force of the impact, the old lady is still in a semi-comatose state and has not woken up for a while.

"Doctor, is the old lady alright? Does it matter? Ji Ran asked the doctor.

"The fall was heavy enough, but fortunately, it was not life-threatening, there was a slight fracture in the left leg, and we have done fixation, however, the risk of deterioration of the condition cannot be ruled out, so it is recommended to be hospitalized for a few days." The doctor explained to Ji Ran.
