"Captain Xu, come, have a smoke!" Ma Weidong offered, pushing a cigarette forward.
"Weidong, you were called back too?"
"Exactly. I was just about to board my plane."
"I was so frustrated, I had to come out for a walk. Fuck, I was the one who discovered that guy, and the credit was just about to fall into my pocket. The damn duck, already cooked, actually flew away."
"Didn't Lige say he isn't dead? As long as he's not dead, the duck hasn't flown yet."
"His heart's been smashed to a pulp. You tell me, is he dead or not?"
"Dead?" Ma Weidong stared at Xu Shiyun in astonishment.
Nearby, Lige's expression changed drastically. Just as he was about to speak, Xu Shiyun preempted him, blowing out a plume of smoke.
"Not yet!"
"Huh?" Ma Weidong looked completely bewildered, then chuckled. "Don't joke around. You said his heart was smashed to a pulp. How could he still be alive?"
"Have you forgotten who saved your life last time, after you were pierced through from front to back?"
