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

"What did you say? You're just going to give up on her?" The man's voice became agitated. "We can't let her get arrested!"

"This is not what I wanted, this matter has gotten out of control..." The woman's voice was weak, as if she was struggling.

Huang Feipeng, listening from outside, was filled with doubts. What kind of relationship did they have? What secrets were hidden behind their argument? Just as he was pondering this, the door suddenly opened, and the woman rushed out in a panic, bumping right into him.

"Who are you?" she asked nervously, her eyes filled with wariness.

"I...I was just passing by," Huang Feipeng said calmly, trying to hide his nervousness.

"Are you listening to us?" Her voice became shrill, and her expression grew increasingly tense.

"I just happened to be passing by." Huang Feipeng smiled slightly, trying to calm her down. "I was also investigating that missing girl."

"Why are you investigating her?" The woman stared at him, a hint of unease in her eyes.

"I want to know the truth and help her family find her." Huang Feipeng's tone was firm, and he secretly thought to himself that her understanding of the missing persons case was not simple.

"The truth? You shouldn't know any of this!" Her voice became agitated, and a hint of fear flickered in her eyes.

“If you know where she is, please tell me. I’m not an enemy; I just want to help her,” Huang Feipeng tried to calm the other person down.

"I...I don't know." The woman bit her lip, looking hesitant, as if she was weighing something.

Just then, a man's voice came from inside the room: "What are you doing? Come out now!"

The woman's expression changed, and she hurriedly backed away, seemingly not wanting the man to see her conversation with Huang Feipeng. Huang Feipeng realized his opportunity had arrived and quickly pressed on, "Do you know where that girl is?"

"I can't tell you..." Her voice was weak, and her eyes were filled with struggle.

"Why? If you know something, maybe we can find her together." Huang Feipeng's gaze was firm, trying his best to make her feel his sincerity.

“I’m scared.” She finally spoke, tears welling in her eyes. “She told me that there were some things she didn’t want anyone to know.”

Huang Feipeng's heart tightened. These words struck him like a bolt of lightning, instantly igniting the doubts and curiosity within him. He knew that the woman before him was absolutely key to the missing person case, but her fear compelled him to probe cautiously. "What are you afraid of? If she's really in danger, you shouldn't hide it from her." He tried to reassure her with the gentlest tone possible, his gaze fixed on her eyes, searching for that sliver of trust that would make her open up.

“I…I just don’t want to get involved in trouble.” Her voice trembled, as if she was struggling internally. “I don’t want anyone to know about what’s going on between us, especially the police.”

“You can trust me,” Huang Feipeng thought to himself. It was this trust that would allow him to get closer to the truth. He took a slow step closer, trying to make himself appear less threatening. “If you know her current situation, helping her, and helping yourself, is the best choice.”

She hesitated, a flicker of struggle and contemplation in her eyes, as if assessing whether his words were trustworthy. The complex emotions in her eyes evoked a sense of helplessness and sympathy in Huang Feipeng. He knew that he had to be even more patient with someone trapped in fear.

“I really don’t know what to do,” she said softly, her eyes dimming as if she were under immense pressure. “We’re just staying here temporarily, and I don’t know her real identity. I only know that she lives on the same floor as me, and she has so many secrets… too many. I’ve never met anyone like her before.”

"A secret?" Huang Feipeng was surprised; he had never imagined that the missing girl would have such a complicated relationship. "Can you tell me more?"

"I don't want to talk about it." Her voice became low, as if she were avoiding something, and a deep fear welled up inside her again. She was on the verge of collapse, but she forced herself to remain calm, her eyes flickering, while her mind kept repeating the same thought over and over: "If I tell him, will he get into even deeper trouble?"

“I know you’re scared, but there’s nothing I can do if you don’t tell me.” Huang Feipeng realized he had to intensify his efforts to make her feel that she could trust him. “If you continue to remain silent, she may never see her family again.”

Just then, the door to the room opened again, and the man came out, a hint of unease in his expression. "What are you doing here?" His gaze was piercing, locking onto Huang Feipeng, seemingly filled with wariness towards this stranger.

"I just want to know what's going on." Huang Feipeng's heart tightened, but he remained calm on the surface. His intuition told him that this man was definitely involved in the disappearance case.

“You have no right to interfere in our affairs,” the man said coldly, his tone unyielding and firm. His hand kept moving inside his pocket, as if hinting at something.

“I know this girl’s disappearance is directly related to you.” Huang Feipeng’s voice gradually rose, a fire igniting within him. He had to let them know that he would not give up easily. “If you are unwilling to cooperate, then I will have to contact the police.”

"You dare!" The man's expression changed, his eyes flashing with anger and fear. He took a small step forward, attempting to approach Huang Feipeng, but Huang Feipeng did not retreat, his gaze unwavering. He knew that he could not show the slightest weakness in the face of such a threat.

“I don’t want to fight anyone, but if you’re hiding the truth, then I have no other choice.” Huang Feipeng thought to himself, perhaps he could use this standoff to find a breakthrough. He tried to steer the situation in his favor.

"You think you can threaten me?" The man's voice was cold, like a sharp blade, instantly piercing the tense atmosphere in the room. "You're so naive."

The woman had already stepped aside, her expression complex, a hint of despair in her eyes. "We can't go on like this..." she murmured to herself, appearing extremely panicked.

"I can't let things get out of control." Huang Feipeng's heart raced as he realized the situation was becoming increasingly complex and dangerous. If the stalemate continued, it could lead to unpredictable consequences. He struggled to find a way to break the deadlock.
