Encountering Heavenly Punishment
In late June, the weather in the south was still scorching. You only had to be outside for a little while before the damp air left you drenched in sweat.
Inside a train station, Shi Xinglan was waiting for the Fuqiang bullet train, which would depart in eight minutes.
