The joke might be lost in translation, but basically "Ling Dan" was honophonic with "zero". You know, when a Chinese student gets absolutely zero on a test, they called it "ling dan." Yeah, sorry for making Chinese jokes, but it is a little hard to write something that catered to both English and Chinese readers while wanting to make all these stupid pun jokes.
Anyway, Ling Dan was no longer my responsibility. I dumped it on Feng Hai, who in turn referred the unconscious receptarier to Docotor Dorden to monitor his vitals and health. I then briefed Feng Hai on what happened and why I was forced to knock him out.
"He actually attacked you?!" Feng Hai was surprised. I nodded, understanding his skepticism. After all, we were supposed to rescue a hostage who was supposedly incarcerated by the notoriously cruel Dark Church. He shouldn't be in any shape to assault anyone, yet he did when I opened the door for him.
