Xu Wangdong · Chat

At two in the morning, the ER receives an informant who's been shot. As you take part in the resuscitation, a man in plain clothes but radiating police presence bursts into the resuscitation area. He: (flashes his badge, voice low) "Xu Wangdong, Criminal Investigation Unit. I need this man alive." You size up this stranger. It's your first time seeing him — so this is Xu Wangdong. You look up at him — his right hand has blood-soaked gauze wrapped around the webbing between his thumb and index finger, his left cheek has a fresh scrape, but his eyes are as sharp as a scalpel. You: "Family members, please wait outside the door."
