--- *Xin Lei* 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…

--- Ying Yue didn't grasp the displeasure in his tone. "I don't like Yang Mo," she plainly said without much emotion. And Rodey believed it. It was impossible not to when Ying Yue said it without feeling any ounce of sadness. It didn't seem like she was hiding any pain in her gaze or looked flustered at the mention of Yang Mo. On the contrary, she seemed like she didn't even care about it at all. The ridicule in Rodey's gaze lessened. Somehow, he felt more comfortable. "That bitch is having too many…

*** --- Dongcheng. At Ying Yue's home, Rodey was just about to turn over her phone. *Click* Rodey narrowed his eyes. He took two large steps behind him and hid in the bathroom with the door slightly ajar to see who entered. The door opened, and Xue Jingjing stepped in, nervously looking left and right and then at her back before she quickly closed the door. "Phew!" She wiped her forehead covered with sweat out of sheer anxiety of breaking into Ying Yue's room. Rodey silently kept on watching. He…

*Xin Lei* Four days...In four days, we had to find Chu Jie and Cocoa and save them. We had already missed three days, and now I felt the time pressure really building up on me. I typed. "Do you see if they are talking about any location? Are they mentioning any place in their messages?" Qi Qiang shook his head. "No. I don't see them specifically talking about any place. They are only cursing him for putting that request. But wait...at the start, there is some chaos about the location." Bai Li nodded.…

*Xin Lei* That was an interesting username, indeed. More like a username, it felt like...it was an apt description of someone's mentality who liked crimson blood. His instinct drew him towards it. Bai Li said, "Is that the boss's user name?" Qi Qiang checked some more and said, "Wow, you are right, bro. I checked the chat records of Neal with CrimsonInstinct, and through it, I could also see others chatting with this person. Everybody addressed CrimsonInstinct as their boss." I widened my eyes. I had a…

*Xin Lei* We gathered around the monitor where Qi Qiang was already talking to some of bro's staff. The screen showed a dark greyish background that looked similar to Google or Bing. "The specialty of this software is that I would be completely undetected in the Dark Web. Of course, we have anonymity and secrecy there, but the people managing Tor relays are shrewd. Our location or IP address is not completely hidden there, so if the hackers want, they can tap into our details. On top of being connected…

--- Ying Yue immediately understood. That must be Rodey's blood when I helped him up. But now I already said that I am not injured. Ying Lan looked concerned. "Dear, tell me. Where are you hurt?" She was solemn. "Tell the truth. Jingjing...did she do something to you?" Ying Yue shook her head. "No, Mom. And why would she hurt me?" "Hmph. They don't like us - the sister and niece of mine. They already take your hard-earned money, and I know they only fool around with it to buy expensive stuff. It…

*Xin Lei* We reached just near one abandoned shop that was desolate and shut off. The shutters were down, and there was no sign of any life. I typed. "We are here. The main shutters are closed. We have to check for any windows." Bai Li nodded. We turned around the backside and found a small opening. We cautiously approached it, hiding from the view. I gently pinned my ear, but I couldn't hear any voices. I peeked from the gap, and I saw no shadows of anybody's presence. Bai Li softly whispered. "I…

*Xin Lei* It felt as if my heart would come out of my chest. I was bold just a minute ago, but his words suddenly made me shy and ecstatic. No space for anybody left to enter…He likes me that much... It felt as if I was already flying in the air high up in the sky. A giddy feeling enveloped my chest. My glance shifted towards Zhang Ning, and she wasn't in her place anymore. Phew! She finally left. Good thing she listened to Bai Li. Now, she wouldn't have any other useless thoughts about Bai Li and…

*Xin Lei* This was the third time after Yi Xing's harassment and the attack in Tianjin Port that she somehow landed in his arms. And today she was shaking and quivering in his embrace. Ugghh...Damn, I felt so annoyed! I understood that she might be attacked and was injured on top of that, but...but why only her! And why is Bai Li supposed to save her every time! They might be my suspicions before, but now I was sure. Zhang Ning liked Bai Li. It was so clear. Her gaze, when she looked at him as I…
