Remember to Wear a Helmet When Making a Call
"Hey, did you see the news?"
Lin Qi's voice was as crisp and energetic as ever.
Just listening to him speak gave one the feeling of walking barefoot along a beach in summer, watching girls wearing nothing but bikini bottoms play beach volleyball.

He leaned back and said with a smile, "Of course, if you mean the news concerning the Contraband Bureau of Investigation."
