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

"We can't delay any longer..." Huang Feipeng thought anxiously, his eyes quickly scanning the entire battle, trying to find any possible weakness. Suddenly, he noticed that the criminal's footing had loosened slightly, and his steps seemed to have slowed down for a moment as he dodged.

It's now!

Without hesitation, Huang Feipeng rushed forward. He didn't choose to attack the criminal's upper body directly, but instead targeted his legs. Although this move seemed risky, if they could successfully trip the criminal, they could temporarily control the situation and buy themselves some breathing room.

At the same time, the slender man seemed to have spotted the criminal's weakness. His short stick swiftly changed direction, shifting from a frontal attack to the criminal's side, aiming to apply maximum pressure in the shortest amount of time. The two seemed to have developed a tacit understanding; the rhythm of their attacks instantly quickened, and the criminal finally showed a barely perceptible hint of panic.

Huang Feipeng's eyes widened, and his body almost instinctively lunged towards the criminal's legs. His hands quickly grabbed the criminal's calves, and he pulled hard, trying to trip him to the ground.

"Ah!" The criminal finally lost his balance and crashed heavily to the ground, the dagger slipping from his hand with a crisp clang. At the same time, the thin man's short stick struck the criminal's side hard, causing him to let out a painful growl and his body to tremble violently.

Huang Feipeng's heart was churning like a stormy sea, impossible to calm. In the instant he subdued the criminal and successfully defended himself, the image of a woman involuntarily surfaced in his mind. It was Li Qing, the girl he had always silently watched. Her smile, her eyes, were like sunshine, warm and bright, illuminating his mundane life.

The tense atmosphere of the battle seemed to fade into the distance in an instant, and Huang Feipeng's thoughts surged like a tide towards that budding romance. Li Qing always wore a simple white dress; when a gentle breeze blew, the hem of her dress swayed in the wind, like a petal in early spring, light and beautiful. Huang Feipeng's admiration for her had long since quietly blossomed, but he had never mustered the courage to approach her.

"What am I thinking?" Huang Feipeng cursed himself inwardly. Despite being in a life-or-death situation, he was still being swayed by emotions. His heart was still pounding from the fight just now, but it softened because of Li Qing's figure.

"Quick! Don't stand still!" The thin man's voice suddenly rang in Huang Feipeng's ears, interrupting his thoughts. At this moment, the criminal was still struggling, his consciousness gradually blurring, his face contorted, but he was still desperately trying to turn over and stand up.

"I...I understand!" Huang Feipeng snapped out of his daze, forcing himself to concentrate. He looked at the thin man, a hint of gratitude in his eyes. "Thank you! Your cooperation just now gave me a chance to fight back."

“No time for this!” The thin man kicked the criminal hard, forcing him to fall to the ground again. “We have to get out of here as soon as possible, that guy will definitely call for help.”

Huang Feipeng nodded, a surge of gratitude welling up inside him. At that moment, he seemed driven by an invisible emotion, facing this dark world head-on. He didn't know the thin man's identity, but in that instant, their goals were aligned.

"Go!" The thin man forcefully pinned the criminal to the ground to prevent him from resisting again. The short stick in his hand gleamed faintly, as if he were ready to deal with any unexpected situation.

Although Huang Feipeng was anxious, he also realized that their joint fight was not the end, but a new beginning. He looked around, trying to find a way to escape. Just then, his gaze fell on the other end of the alley, the exit leading to the main street, seemingly a path to light.

"Go that way!" Huang Feipeng pointed to the thin man. His voice was urgent, as if afraid that another accident might happen.

"Understood!" the thin man replied. He forcefully pressed down on the criminal's wrist, and after confirming that he could no longer resist, he quickly stood up and followed Huang Feipeng's directions toward the alley exit.

As Huang Feipeng ran, Li Qing's smiling face kept appearing in his mind. Each heartbeat felt like a call to her name. Although the distance between them was still vast, his feelings for her grew ever clearer. He secretly resolved that after this incident, he must confess his feelings to Li Qing and not miss this opportunity again.

"What are you thinking about?" the thin man suddenly asked, his voice tinged with doubt. His gaze was fixed ahead, as if he were wary of everything around him.

"I..." Huang Feipeng was speechless for a moment. Although he wanted to tell the secret in his heart, he didn't know how to start. With the pace of the escape, his heart was also churning. He wanted to get out of this dangerous place as soon as possible, but he also wanted to seize every moment to pour out his heart.

"If there's nothing else, run!" The thin man's voice was urgent and clear. "I don't know if the enemy will chase us, we must hurry."

Huang Feipeng nodded, thinking to himself that perhaps this wasn't the best time to confide in someone. Although his heart was filled with confusion and anticipation, he could only try to escape the chaos first. Unexpectedly, as soon as he turned around, he saw several figures suddenly emerge from the alleyway in the distance, rushing straight towards them.

"Run!" the thin man shouted, quickly turning and rushing into another alley.

"I'll cover you!" Huang Feipeng's heart tightened. Although he knew he didn't have much strength, he couldn't retreat at this moment. He turned around abruptly, facing the approaching enemy, a thought flashing through his mind—to protect the ally he had just formed an alliance with.

A group of people, all fully armed, were rapidly approaching; they were clearly accomplices of the criminals. Huang Feipeng knew that if they succeeded in catching up with the thin man, the consequences would be unimaginable. He tried to calm his fear and remain composed.

"Who are you!" Huang Feipeng shouted, feigning composure. Although he knew his opponents were far stronger than him, his courage was also roused at this moment. He didn't want to be intimidated and had to maintain his imposing presence.

"I don't care who you are, you're all going to stay here today!" The leader of the men in black sneered, his eyes full of mockery. With that, he charged at Huang Feipeng first, a long knife in his hand, its blade flashing in the darkness, making his face appear even colder.

Huang Feipeng felt a tightness in his chest. Although his body stiffened under extreme tension, he knew he couldn't back down. He had to use his agility to try and dodge the opponent's attacks.
