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

Dongcheng. That's where we had to go. We had to return to the place where it all began.

We started in Dongcheng, where I first met Bai Li and began investigating Dad's case on Fu Ting and a quest to find little Fu Meili. That case opened up a whole other can of worms that took us to Andingzhen where Chu Jie and Cocoa got kidnapped, Langfang where we discovered the horrible truth in the Natural Park and finally found Fu Meili, lying dead and buried under the ground, and then Tianjin where we stopped the deal.

And now our journey was taking us back to Dongcheng. I shuddered. It was akin to completing a circuit. Going around and around, we would head back to our starting point.

My instinct was telling me that it would soon be over. This was the last stop. This was the last link where everything would fall into place. I believed that this would be the last and final confrontation.
