"I, I can go in now?" the middle-aged man asked, hardly daring to believe.
"Yes, you can go in," the ticket inspector nodded and then, thinking for a moment, took some money from his pocket and handed it to the middle-aged man, saying, "Use this money for your journey."
Chen Hao, however, noticed a slight change in the man's face, a flicker of anger.
