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

It all happened suddenly. I was about to shoot Yi Xing, but then I heard a sharp noise from above. Even if I couldn't see, I knew how container terminals generally looked like.

I knew there were gantry cranes above. It makes a peculiar sound you hear whenever there is a break at the hinges or the joints.

I knew it was going to collapse. I didn't know if Xin Lei or Liao Huifang noticed it. I didn't have the time to tell them, so I pushed them away as far as possible.

It was just on time because the crane fell a few moments later. I heard a loud crashing sound, but before that happened, I already rolled away at the other side as much as possible, far from the impact. Terminals had a long stretch of road, so I knew there would be much space ahead for me to roll over.

As the crane landed, a strong gust of wind blew at my side. It crashed with a loud roar akin to a bomb blast.

When the impact was over, I was only worried about Xin Lei.
