The country entrusted me to buy an aircraft carrier, Hou Liangping, do you dare to investigate?

"What's wrong?" Huang Feipeng glanced at him sideways, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

"No, nothing..." Qi Tongwei was startled and quickly lowered his head, not daring to ask any more questions. His mind, however, was in turmoil. Wasn't the 'Emperor Wu of Han' aircraft carrier project already halted by higher-ups? Why was it being restarted now, and the project leader was... his own master, Huang Feipeng?!

How could this be?! Wasn't Huang Feipeng always doing scientific research at the research institute? When did he become the chief designer of the 'Emperor Wu of Han'? And he's still alive?! I saw it with my own eyes...

Thinking of this, Qi Tongwei felt a chill run down his spine. He secretly glanced at Huang Feipeng, only to see that the other man was looking at him with a half-smile, his eyes seeming to see through all his thoughts.

Qi Tongwei felt his heart pounding in his chest. He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down. He knew this wasn't the time to question him. The man before him was no longer the researcher he had once manipulated. He was now the powerful chief designer of the 'Emperor Wu of Han' project, and Qi Tongwei was still just an ant in his presence!

"What? Is there a problem?" Huang Feipeng asked, his tone slightly displeased as he saw that the man hadn't made a move.

"No, no!" Qi Tongwei quickly picked up a pen and signed his name on the document. After signing, he felt his hand trembling.

"Master, is there anything else you need me to do?" Qi Tongwei asked cautiously.

Huang Feipeng watched as Qi Tongwei's trembling hand signed his name, a satisfied smile spreading across his face. This Qi Tongwei, who used to flaunt his power in front of him, is now obediently following orders like a dog.

“Very good,” he patted Qi Tongwei on the shoulder, but his tone suddenly turned cold. “Now, I have an important task for you.”

Qi Tongwei's heart tightened, and he quickly straightened his back: "Master, please speak. I guarantee I will complete the mission!"

Huang Feipeng narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice, "I need you. You are the deputy mayor of the capital city and in charge of public security. You have the responsibility and the obligation to find out the spies lurking in the capital city!"

After saying that, he took Ye Zi and left the office without looking back.

Qi Tongwei stood frozen in place, cold sweat streaming down his forehead. He was to catch a spy? Who? The capital was a den of wolves and tigers; while Qi Tongwei might have some cleverness, he wasn't arrogant enough to think he could uncover someone of the caliber of a spy.

He rubbed his temples, trying to calm himself down. Wait, Huang Feipeng just said that spies are lurking in the capital? Could it be...?

A name suddenly flashed through his mind—Hou Liangping!

Yes, it must be Hou Liangping! The more Qi Tongwei thought about it, the more likely it seemed. Over the years, he had met many people in the capital, but Hou Liangping was the only one he could truly consider a rival. Moreover, Huang Feipeng used to be a researcher, and Hou Liangping had obstructed many of his classified projects.

"Damn it, so this is the kind of person you are!" Qi Tongwei gritted his teeth, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes.

He grabbed the phone and dialed a mysterious number: "Hello, it's me. Help me investigate someone, yes, Hou Liangping. The more details the better..."

Hanging up the phone, Qi Tongwei's lips curled into a sinister smile. "Hou Liangping, let's see how you fight me this time!"

Qi Tongwei slumped into his office chair, his mind a complete mess. Huang Feipeng was still alive! And now he was the chief designer of the "Emperor Wu of Han"? This news was like a bolt from the blue for him. He had witnessed it with his own eyes...

"Damn it, why think about all this nonsense!" Qi Tongwei shook his head vigorously, trying to shake off those horrific images. The most important thing now was to figure out what Huang Feipeng was up to, and how to profit from this situation!

A sudden ringtone interrupted his thoughts. Qi Tongwei impatiently grabbed the phone, and seeing the name flashing on the screen, his brows furrowed immediately: "Chengdu? What's wrong with you now? Didn't I tell you, don't..."

"Director Qi, something terrible has happened!" Cheng Du spoke rapidly on the other end of the phone, his voice tinged with panic. "Hou Liangping, Hou Liangping, he..."

"What's wrong with Hou Liangping? Can't you just explain yourself clearly?" Qi Tongwei said irritably.

"Hou Liangping... he contacted Li Ming at the police station and said... said he wanted to issue an arrest warrant for Huang Feipeng!" Cheng Du took a deep breath and finally finished speaking.

"What?!" Qi Tongwei jumped to his feet, his face instantly becoming incredibly complex. A warrant for Huang Feipeng's arrest? Had Hou Liangping gone mad? Didn't he know Huang Feipeng's current status?

However, upon further reflection, Qi Tongwei felt a surge of smug satisfaction. Hou Liangping's move was truly disastrous! Not to mention that Huang Feipeng now had the "Emperor Wu of Han" project backing him up, just based on his status, who would dare to lay a finger on him?

Hou Liangping's outburst has undoubtedly put him in a very difficult position. At that point, Huang Feipeng could easily make him pay dearly!

"Good! Very good!" Qi Tongwei couldn't help but chuckle softly, as if he could already see Hou Liangping's disgrace and ruin.

However, a doubt quickly crept into his mind. Hou Liangping had the Zhong family backing him; would he really be so foolish as to dig his own grave? Or did he hold some trump card, which was why he dared to act so recklessly?

Thinking of this, Qi Tongwei's laughter abruptly stopped. He narrowed his eyes, a sinister glint flashing within them. No, he had to find out what Hou Liangping was really up to!

Qi Tongwei's mind raced, like an overclocked CPU, trying to find a clear path through the complex information. Hou Liangping's move didn't seem like simple recklessness at all; it seemed more like a conspiracy behind it, a conspiracy against Qi Tongwei, or even an attempt to drag him down!

He walked to the huge floor-to-ceiling window, looking down at the traffic flowing below, his unease growing stronger. Could it be that Hou Liangping had obtained some solid evidence, which was why he dared to act so recklessly?

Just then, a black Audi A6 slowly drove into the parking lot in front of the office building, and a familiar figure stepped out of the car. He was tall, dressed in a sharp suit, and had a warm smile on his face as he affectionately embraced a young man.

Qi Tongwei's pupils suddenly contracted, his heart felt as if it were being gripped tightly by an invisible hand, and he could barely breathe. Pound! It was Pound! What was he doing here?

He recognized the young man embracing Pound as Huang Feipeng!
