章節 572: Promise of Retirement

The next time he woke up, he looked again at the familiar white ceiling. His whole body felt hurt and heavy. 

"You're finally awake."

Dai Zhiqiang instinctively tried to turn his head but found himself unable to do so. Thankfully, he didn't need to look to know who was beside him.

"Little Zhong made it out unscathed, thanks to you. You covered him using your body to get past the fire. I couldn't thank you enough for what you have done."

Dai Zhiqiang paused briefly. He hesitated to ask, but curiosity got the best of him. "And Senior Lin?"
