With Bai Li facing his own inner demons, will their quest for truth spiral out of control? Will he get his honour back?

***

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."

Crimson Instinct

After a few moments of silence, which seemed like forever to me, Bai Li responded first. He brought his hand forward. "Nice to meet you."

Yuan blinked his eyes and tilted his head as if he was confused.

Oh yes, I forgot to tell him that Bai Li cannot see.

Yuan seemed shocked and alternated his gaze between Bai Li and me.

He paused and nodded a moment later. He shook Bai Li's hand. "Nice to meet you, too."

Yuan said, "Xin Lei must have told you about me a bit, and I hope they are all good things."

Bai Li smiled. "Indeed. She has been ranting non-stop about your achievements and that I can rest assured."

"Well, yes. But I want to personally assure you, too, that you are in good hands. We will work together on your PTSD. I know it may seem a difficult task to get over your fears right now, but we will slowly get there."

Escaped!
