"Li Xiajun?" Doctor Cho recited slowly. "As in, DETECTIVE Li Xiajun?"
"Yes. . ."
Xiajun startled as the doors to the room Changming had been taken to opened up and a hospital trolley was rolled out. He watched as it squeaked away, not in his right mind but his name being called from the phone jerked him from his daze.
"Li Xiajun? Xiajun?" Doctor Cho said, sounding confused. "Hello? Is this a prank call?"
Xiajun shook his head. "No, sorry. Hello, Doctor Cho, how are you doing?"
"Is it the real Li Xiajun?" Doctor Cho said, sounding apprehensive.
Despite the circumstances, Xiajun chuckled. "Yes, Doctor, this is indeed the real Li Xiajun. Do you remember I went to college with Changming? We were classmates."
