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

Back to the time when Bai Li met Zhang Xiulan.

"You are the barmaid of Micro Pub," I said.

I sensed a hint of amusement and playfulness in her tone as she spoke.

"I am not a Major anymore. I see you aren't using your voice changer like you did in Tianjin."

I heard her taking two steps in front of me.

"Because I know the truth. So, you don't fear me recognizing your voice and making Zhang Ning know that we have met before."

From my side, I heard Liao Huifang cough. "Bai Li...is she really Zhang Xiulan? Who we were looking for all this time?"

There was a pause after I heard Zhang Xiulan speak, "You were in Tianjin, weren't you?"

Liao Huifang tugged me. I said, "You can say anything you want. She has her own motives, but in the very least, she is not our enemy."

That mystery man with Zhang Xiulan
