*Bai Li* I was pretty much sure that Yi Xing must be aiming his gun at me. After all, I have crushed his ego too many times to count. "Please don't-ouch!" I heard Zhang Ning stammer. "Zhang Ning. Stay where you are," I said. I turned my head towards his direction. "Shoot me if you want." "What?" Zhang Ning exclaimed fro her side, "Bai Li, don't be crazy!" I heard Yi Xing say, "What happened, Bai Li? Given up so soon? Got scared by realizing that I have a gun?" I shrugged. "Cowards like you can…

*Bai Li* "How dare you hold MY Ning in your filthy arms!?" Even if I couldn't see his face, I imagined how ugly his expression would be right now. He must be sending death glares my way, widening his eyes like a hideous monster. I could even hear him taking ragged breaths as if it was killing him to wait to deal with me. I said, "First, she is not YOUR Ning. Zhang Ning is a free person, so she gets to decide to whom she would give her heart. Second, I take a bath every day. My arms are not filthy, and…

--- Liao Huifang was dumbfounded. Her mind was blank. His tall stature looked frightening and commanding at the same time. She felt as if she seemed too small in front of him. Her chest was already heaving up and down, feeling breathless. Her forehead was covered in sweat. Even her whole body was shaking as if she had seen a ghost. 'Tian Song! I met the worst man I ever could have!' She recalled how he brutally murdered Ming to shut her mouth from giving her testimony. She remembered how she helplessly…

*Xin Lei* It was a relief to know that Bai Li was alright. Now, I could finally breathe. I had to find Liao Huifang now. I heard her voice from afar, so I followed that way. Somehow, I managed to find my phone. Fortunately, I found my gun, too, with the help of my mobile's flashlight. It didn't slide that far away. Gosh, it was a huge mess. I looked around. The gantry crane was badly broken. It was impossible to see much further ahead in any direction. There were rocks and broken debris everywhere. I…

*Bai Li* Zhang Ning lost her balance, and she fell on me. I quickly caught her arm. I felt her hair brush on my face and her face crashing on my chest. I froze. This wasn't a very good position, and I thanked God that Xin Lei wasn't here, or else she would have eaten me raw. She was already a bit resentful that Zhang Ning stood close to me outside Yi Xiaosi's office yesterday. I shuddered, imagining her reaction. I coughed and quickly pulled her up. "Ouch!" I said, "Why are you moving? Your shoulder…

*Bai Li* 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…

*Xin Lei* I typed. "And who that party might be?" Yi Xing shrugged. "It could be any of the six allied parties, but my best bet is Yao Shuang." Zhang Ning slowly stirred a bit. "Ugh…" "Ning!" Yi Xing held her in his arms. "Ning, are you alright?" She opened her eyes. "I...What happened? Where am I?" Zhang Ning clutched her head and frowned. "Yi Xing…?" Yi Xing smiled and nodded. "Don't worry, Ning. You are safe now." She widened her eyes and stepped back. "Yi Xing! What are you doing here?…

*Xin Lei* It was almost eight in the evening when we reached Tianjin Port. By that time, the tourists start to disperse. It was my first time to visit a seaport and man it was huge. There were rows of containers loaded on top of each other. Between every such row, the road was wide enough for small terminal tractors to pass by and unload the containers from the dock to the storage yard. As we carefully moved forward, I saw the container terminal. Two to three big ships were docked in one berth, and huge…

--- The next morning. Zhang Chao publicly declared war on Yi Xiaosi. He held a press conference in which he brought the man who fired a shot at Zhang Ning but failed to do so because Bai Li intervened. "It was Yi Xiaosi. He gave me loads of money to kill Zhang Ning because she repeatedly rejected his son Yi Xing." The media reporters gasped. This was a sensational piece of news, and they already imagined their channel's ratings skyrocketing like crazy. Yi Xing was in love with his opposition party…

*Xin Lei* I peeked inside the room and found that Bai Li's first session was over. I hurriedly walked away inside. Yuan frowned at me. "What happened? You look worried." Bai Li asked, "Is everything okay?" I typed. "It was Lin Zihao's call. He said that Rodey has escaped." Silence. "Wait, who is Rodey?" Liao Huifang asked. I typed. "He is also one of the members of the gang. We caught him, but just now, I got a call that he escaped from outside the court." "How?" I explained what Lin Zihao told…
