Yang Xiao turned off the TV, and the next second, a call came through, "Son, release the doctor now. There are police all around; you can't escape!"

"Dong dong dong... clang!"

A lively beat of drums followed by a resounding gong, the shadows behind the white cloth bustled with various poses, resembling a shadow play.
