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.

Her life in the Zhang residence (2)

Time: 1:22 PM. Eleven hours and eight minutes remaining.

*Bai Li*

"You know what Zhang Chao said when I ran into his room, crying and screaming to tell him that Ning killed Mom?"

I said, "With your tone, I can say that he must be very thrilled."

Her voice got low as she spoke, "The news didn't even twitch a single muscle on his face. The only thing that he uttered was 'That's unfortunate.' And I was just standing there looking at him, shocked. That was it, and then he went back to reading the morning newspaper again as if it was so insignificant not worth his time."

She laughed. "His wife died in the dead of night by her own cold-blooded daughter who slit her throat, and his reaction was 'That's unfortunate.' That's when I realized why Ning is the way she is. Why she bonded with Zhang Chao over the years. She got her messed up head from him."
