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

"I think you did the right thing." Xiaoya smiled slightly. Although she felt uneasy, Feipeng's insistence reassured her. She thought that if someone were by her side, she might feel less afraid.

Feipeng nodded, silently making up his mind. Without time to hesitate, he quickly pulled out his phone and dialed a familiar number. "Hey, Lao Li, I need your help." He tried to keep his voice down to avoid attracting attention.

"Feipeng? What's wrong? How have you been lately?" Old Li's voice sounded somewhat surprised on the other end of the phone.

"I have some urgent business to attend to and would like to ask you to come over," Fei Peng said directly, a sense of unease creeping into his heart. "I need you to stay here and watch over Xiao Ya to ensure her safety."

"What happened? Where are you now?" Old Li's tone became serious, clearly realizing the urgency of the situation.

"It's at a friend's studio, so I can't say more right now." Fei Peng's heart tightened. Although he didn't want Lao Li to worry, he knew he had to make him realize the seriousness of the matter. "I'll let you know as soon as possible."

"I'll be right there. Be careful." Old Li's voice was firm and swift. After hanging up the phone, Fei Peng breathed a slight sigh of relief.

“He’ll come,” Fei Peng said to Xiao Ya, a glimmer of hope in his eyes. “You’ll have a friend with you from now on to make sure you’re safe here.”

"Thank you, Feipeng." Xiaoya's voice revealed a hint of gratitude, and she thought to herself, "Perhaps all of this isn't so hopeless." A warmth filled her heart. Although the future was full of uncertainty, at least Feipeng's company at this moment made her feel a sense of security.

“We need to wait patiently here.” Fei Peng began pacing, trying to remain calm. Although he appeared composed, his mind was racing. He wondered, what was the truth behind the disappearances? Why had those girls vanished? What conspiracy lay behind all of this?

Xiaoya noticed Feipeng's expression and asked with concern, "Are you still worried about those missing girls?"

“Yes, although I know what we’re doing is important, I still really want to know what they went through,” Fei Peng said in a deep voice, his heart filled with anxiety. “We must find clues and unravel this mystery.”

“Me too.” Xiaoya’s voice was low, and her eyes flickered with unease. “I hope they can all return safely.”

Feipeng looked at Xiaoya, a wave of emotion washing over him. He knew that her concern wasn't just for the missing girl, but also for his own situation. He secretly resolved that no matter what happened next, he would protect her and ensure she would no longer feel fear.

“We will find a way,” Feipeng said to Xiaoya, his tone firm and warm. “No matter what difficulties we encounter, we will face them together.”

Xiaoya nodded slightly, a glimmer of hope in her eyes. She knew that Feipeng would become her strongest support.

At this moment, a tense yet expectant atmosphere filled the studio. Fei Peng's mind was constantly racing with the impending outcome, and his anxiety seemed to be intensifying. He knew that time was ticking away, and the truth about the disappearance was gradually being swallowed up by his urgent feelings.

"Feipeng, should we tidy up this place so that Lao Li can see the environment more clearly when he comes?" Xiaoya suddenly suggested, trying to divert Feipeng's attention.

"Good idea." Fei Peng realized that doing this would not only pass the time but also help them relax a little. He and Xiao Ya began tidying up the studio. Although they moved quickly, it seemed that each item held a secret.

"Do you think the owner of this studio might know something?" Xiaoya asked, her gaze falling on several thick books as she organized the bookshelves, her heart filled with curiosity about the place.

“This friend is very intelligent and has done a lot of research on criminal psychology. His views may be helpful to us.” As Fei Peng was organizing the information, he silently reassured himself about his friend’s trust and hoped to glean more clues from him.

As they busied themselves in the studio, they gradually felt a sense of warmth. Although the dangers outside still existed, they felt a quiet peace in this relatively safe space.

"Feipeng, what do you think we'll discover next?" Xiaoya stopped what she was doing, her eyes sparkling with curiosity and anticipation.

"I hope to find more clues and uncover the truth behind the disappearances." Fei Peng's tone was firm, and he thought to himself, "Every girl's story deserves to be heard, and their experiences should not be forgotten."

"I believe we will find it," Xiaoya replied softly, a surge of strength welling up within her. Although she still felt uneasy, Feipeng's determination gave her a glimmer of hope.

Just then, a soft knock sounded at the door. Fei Peng and Xiao Ya stopped what they were doing, exchanged a glance, and secretly wondered who the visitor was.

"Is that Old Li?" Fei Peng murmured to himself, then walked to the door and opened it. Sure enough, Old Li stood outside, his face solemn, with a hint of concern in his eyes.

"I'm here. How are you two?" Old Li walked in quickly, his gaze sweeping between the two of them, as if to make sure they were safe.

"We're fine, thank you for coming." Fei Peng secretly breathed a sigh of relief and responded gratefully.

“I heard something on the way here just now.” Old Li’s voice was low and his expression became serious. “There are rumors that this disappearance case may involve some criminals. You must be more careful.”

“I know.” Fei Peng’s heart tightened, realizing the complexity of the situation. He thought to himself, “Could this shadow be more dangerous than I imagined?”

"What should we do next?" Xiaoya also realized the urgency of the situation, her eyes filled with tension and anticipation.

“We need to investigate further to ensure your safety,” Old Li said, his eyes gleaming with determination. “I can help you look up some information and find more clues.”

"Thank you, Lao Li." Fei Peng was grateful, knowing that with Lao Li's help, their operation would go much more smoothly.

"I'll arrange it as soon as possible." Old Li started to get busy, while Fei Peng and Xiao Ya watched his movements silently, filled with anticipation for the investigation to come.

As time went on, the atmosphere in the studio gradually became tense. Huang Feipeng, Xiaoya, and Lao Li sat around a simple table piled high with materials related to the missing persons case.
