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.

Through the window into the other room, Chu Jie saw the floor dyed with red. It was lots of blood, and somebody's hand was lying on it.

He was about to stumble, but he quickly caught onto the rail and balanced himself.

From the hand and shoulder, he could make out it was a man who was facing on the other side.

B-blood...so much blood…That uncle...is he d-dead?

His face turned pale and as white as a sheet. The color drained from his face. He covered his mouth and felt as if he would puke when the smell of blood wafted through his nose.

Chu Jie jumped from the cardboard boxes back on the floor. He collapsed on his knees, and that bloody sight was circling in his mind.

No, no, no! Who is that man? Are we going to end up like that too? T-they really want to kill us…

Chu Jie took rapid, short breaths, but even then, he felt breathless.

Cocoa circled around Chu Jie anxiously. He leaped onto his lap and once again licked his face.
