Crimson Instinct

[COMPLETED] It's a race against time. But the challenge gets even harder as there is a certain difficulty that they both have to overcome. With Bai Li facing his own inner demons, will their quest for truth spiral out of control? Will he get his honour back? Who is the enemy hiding in the shadows that Xin Lei and Bai Li would have to fight? Along this journey to find their answers, will it also spark the flames of love between them? *** Amidst the booming crack of ear-piercing gunshots, Xin Lei bumped into the ex-army officer, Major Bai Li, who recently got a dishonorable discharge. He was the only hope for her who could help her in digging the truth behind not only that syndicate chasing after her life but also to find about her father and brother who have mysteriously disappeared. Together, they set out to search for the truth, but it shapes into something much darker and sinister as they learn about the case Xin Lei's father was working on - to prove a father innocent of his little daughter's disappearance, plunging them into one of the dangerous worlds, hidden from everybody. --- Scene Excerpt --- My foot was stuck in the pit and I pushed Bai Li away from me who was trying to get me out. There was no time. The sounds of sirens were growing closer and closer. How can I let the police catch him? But my strength wasn't enough. I tugged his shirt. I begged him. 'Please go.' Bai Li grabbed my arms. "Don't push me away, Xin Lei. Soldiers never leave anyone behind. It's either we are caught together or we escape together." Before I knew it, his lips were on mine. "Whatever it is, sticking together is the only option I give you." #WSA2020.

Interrogation

*Xin Lei*

I frowned.

Liao Huifang said, "I don't know. Qiang just shuts himself whenever he is like that."

I typed. "Maybe he would have found out something? Can you try his phone again?"

Liao Huifang took out her phone and dialed his number.

Bai Li said, "Keep on speaker."

The number kept on ringing but to no avail. Nobody picked up.

Liao Huifang seemed a little anxious. "Why isn't he picking up!? Really Qiang is so…"

"Do you have his home number?"

"No…"

I sighed. I typed. "He will see your missed calls, too, but leave him a message to immediately call back just in case."

She nodded. "When should we leave? Are we going to Langfang?"

Bai Li said, "We got no choice. There is less probability for Chu Jie to be there. Even now more less, whether Fu Meili would be there or not, either. But that is the only lead we have. Liao Huifang, you keep on trying Qi Qiang's number."

"Yes."
