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.

Papa Xin's advise to use time wisely

Twenty days later.

*Xin Lei*

I quickly packed my purse and headed out. 

I was so excited to go to the hospital today. Well, I was always excited to meet Bai Li, but today was different.

Today was finally the day when Bai Li would be discharged. The doctor gave him the green signal to leave.

"Well, well, look at my dear daughter. Don't you look so different today?"

I grinned as I saw Dad coming my way. "Dad! Bai Li will get discharged today."

He chuckled. "I can see that happiness clearly in your eyes. Oh, and don't forget to bring him to our home straight from the hospital."

I sighed. "I told the same to him, but Bai Li was insisting on staying at a hotel."

"What? Of course not! How can I let my dear son-in-law stay in a hotel?"

I raised my brow. "You missed the word 'future,' Dad."
