Yin Country.
Midnight.
Li Lianhua leaned back on a recliner, as a 14-year-old girl attended to his foot bath.
The warm water made his old feet feel just right, pudgy little hands gently kneaded the tops and soles, cleaning the grime from between his toes.
Thud, thud, thud, thud...
Urgent footsteps echoed down the hallway.
Li Lianhua's eyebrows twitched in annoyance. "What's the fuss? Can't I get some peace? Xixi, go see who it is."
Xixi stood up, shaking her wet hands, and ran to the door, only to have it kicked open loudly, smacking her forehead.
Holding her head, Xixi squatted to one side, while Li Lianhua, fuming, looked outside to see several members of the Superpower Special Department.
"What are you doing? Are you rebelling?!" Li Lianhua shouted.
"The Emperor commands! All traitors must be taken to Fengrao City to be questioned! Get up, you old coot!" the team leader said darkly.
