Lin Yi listened groggily to Boss and Li Huiyuan's conversation, hissing through his teeth.
He tried several times to prop himself up, but the slightest movement of his hands brought searing pain before he could even exert any force. His arms gave out, and he fell back onto the ground, cold sweat pouring off him as though he were a towel being wrung dry.
