At the sudden words, Qi Ji froze. “Fifty thousand a night?” A vague sense of impending dread settled over him.
The next morning, before seven, Qi Ji was awakened by his biological clock. He felt a slight headache upon waking.
He returned the safe to its place, locked the drawer, closed the cabinet doors, and the walk-in closet’s main door
At first, Qi Ji hadn’t quite caught the manager’s pronunciation. His first thought was that he had said “Wān de”
Even recognizing him, Qi Ji’s aversion did not dissipate. The lingering effects of the medication, coupled with his naturally sensitive
