When the wind was light, there was a soft thump, thump, thump sound; when the wind was strong, it was like a final, soul-striking blow!

"Lance is an unreasonable person!" Sam's voice on the phone was full of grievance. "I've already apologized to him and even guaranteed to compensate him for his subordinate's medical expenses, but he still refuses to hand over Lisa." "Sir, I have no foundation here. I can't force him to do anything. Won't this displease Mr. Hoff?" Sam, after being scolded and threatened by Lance, thought long and hard before finally calling the mayor. He knew this would lower his standing in the mayor's eyes, but his…
