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.

A possibility of a lighter punishment

A few days later.

Ying Yue was on her way to bring breakfast for Rodey. As she reached near his ward, she heard noises coming inside.

Rodey is talking to somebody…

She stepped closer to the door and saw two men she never met before. One was a middle-aged man sitting beside Rodey, while the other was a young man standing beside the older man. But they resembled each other a lot.

Are they father and son?

She could hear their voices.

Inside the ward, Xin Nianzu said, "You must know why we came here."

Rodey shrugged. "Have you come here to take me to jail?"

"No. Not now, at least. But we came here to tell you there would be a court hearing to decide on your punishment by the law."

Rodey didn't care. "Whatever. I already knew that. But that still doesn't explain why you are here. Aren't you a lawyer? A defense lawyer at that."

"Correct. I came here to offer to take your case."
