The next morning, at the County Hospital.
Dong Xuebin was awakened by the prick of a needle. He sucked in a breath of pain and, still half-asleep, reflexively reached out and twisted. He directly threw the heavy head nurse who was giving him an injection to the floor with a dull thud, followed by her scream.
