Needless to say, they have a tough job ahead to find the truth and catch the criminals, and it’s a really thrilling adventure.

9. Cross Fire

In 2008, Xiao Feng is a sad e-sports team leader, as E-sports is new and they don’t make much money.

Now, they both try to change their fate by making sure the bus reaches its destination safely, but, it’s not as simple as it seems, and they face numerous challenges along the way.
