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

“I’m thinking about that customer. I think he’s connected to this chase,” Fei Peng said in a low voice, a sense of unease creeping into his heart. “If I can find him, maybe I can find a solution.”

“But our top priority right now is to evade our pursuers,” Lin Xue reminded softly, her eyes flashing with determination. “You can’t let yourself get into even bigger trouble.”

"I know." Fei Peng nodded, silently promising himself that he must protect Lin Xue first before considering any further action. But he was also unwilling to completely hide the truth from her, and his heart was in turmoil. "I just... I don't want to see anyone else get hurt."

Lin Xue lowered her head, seemingly considering his words, then raised her face, her eyes revealing understanding. "I understand your protection of me, but I also hope to face all of this with you."

Fei Peng felt a surge of warmth; he hadn't expected Lin Xue to be so resolute. Just then, their footsteps seemed unusually loud in the quiet alley. Fei Peng's heart tightened, and he became secretly vigilant. Although the place was relatively secluded, he knew that the men in black were likely still tracking them.

"Quickly, let's go deeper," he whispered, quickening his pace. Lin Xue followed closely behind, seemingly also feeling an invisible pressure.

The alleyway stretched deeper and deeper, the surrounding buildings growing taller and taller, blocking out the starlight and making the whole place increasingly gloomy. Fei Peng felt a growing unease; this environment was not suitable for staying, but he knew he had to persevere to find a safer refuge.

“We need to find a place to rest,” Lin Xue suddenly said, a hint of fatigue appearing on her face. Fei Peng’s heart tightened, realizing that she was also under immense pressure.

“There’s a dilapidated warehouse up ahead; we can go there.” He pointed to a building in front of him, deciding not to hesitate any longer. Fei Peng thought to himself: If we can rest here for a while, perhaps we can regain some strength and organize our next plans.

They arrived at the warehouse door, pushed it open, and dust billowed out; the inside was in complete disarray. Fei Peng briefly surveyed the surroundings, confirming that it was temporarily safe, and then gestured for Lin Xue to come in.

“Let’s stay here for a while and wait for it to quiet down outside,” Fei Peng said, trying to remain calm.

Lin Xue nodded, her expression still tense. Fei Peng felt a pang of guilt, thinking to himself, "This chase shouldn't have involved her. How can I get her out of this dangerous situation?"

"Feipeng, what's wrong?" Lin Xue suddenly asked, her eyes showing concern.

"I was thinking, what should we do if they find this place?" He hesitated for a moment, but finally revealed his thoughts, trying his best to hide his anxiety.

“We’ll leave through the back door.” Lin Xue’s tone was firm, as if she had already thought of a solution. “As long as we find a safe exit, we can escape.”

Fei Peng was slightly taken aback, not expecting Lin Xue to be so decisive. Looking into her eyes, he suddenly felt a surge of relief, and a courage slowly rose within him. "Okay, let's do it this way."

Inside the warehouse, the two briefly caught their breath, Fei Peng mentally rehearsing their next move. He knew he had to find the customer as soon as possible and uncover more clues. Even in this predicament, he had to remain vigilant and calm.

“I think we need to separate,” Fei Peng suddenly said, his voice low and firm.

"What?" Lin Xue was stunned for a moment, her face showing surprise.

“I can go find that customer, you stay here and wait for me.” Fei Peng’s voice was firm, and he thought to himself, “If I can act alone, I might be able to find the answer faster and also protect Lin Xue from being drawn into danger.”

"Are you crazy? How can I guarantee your safety if you go out?" Lin Xue said excitedly, her eyes showing unease.

“I know this is dangerous, but I can’t let you come with me. What if they find us…” Before Fei Peng could finish speaking, Lin Xue’s expression became even more determined.

“If you go, I will definitely follow you!” she said without hesitation, her eyes shining with fearlessness. “I have already come this far with you, I will not let you face the danger alone.”

Fei Peng felt a pang of emotion, realizing that the trust between them had grown stronger. But at the same time, he felt a tremendous responsibility: "I can't put you in danger, Lin Xue."

"But you must also understand that I am not weak. I can face this together with you." Lin Xue's voice was firm, revealing an undeniable strength.

Feipeng sensed Lin Xue's determination, and his inner turmoil gradually gave way to trust and courage. At this moment, he understood that only mutual support and understanding could allow them to find light in the darkness.

“Alright, let’s go find that customer together.” Fei Peng finally relented, a surge of strength rising within him. Now that they were both willing to fight side by side, perhaps this predicament no longer seemed so hopeless. They would face the upcoming challenges together, no longer alone.

"Let's set off now," Fei Peng said firmly, silently encouraging himself. No matter how great the difficulties ahead, only by walking hand in hand could they find true hope. The two looked at each other, as if they had reached a tacit understanding in that instant. The courage that surged within them made them no longer afraid of the challenges ahead.

Feipeng and Lin Xue emerged from the warehouse, the path becoming increasingly muddy, the slippery mud leaving marks on their shoes. Feipeng felt the weight on his feet, a wave of anxiety washing over him. Although the road ahead was fraught with unknown dangers, a resolute determination ignited within him: "We must not back down!"

"Hurry up!" Lin Xue quickened her pace and called back to Fei Peng, a hint of tension on her face. Her eyes held unease, yet were unwavering, as if reminding him to be careful.

Fei Peng took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, but the mud beneath his feet felt even heavier. As he ran, he thought about the cause of the chase, his mind filled with increasing confusion: "What did I do wrong? Was it all because of that unintentional training session?"

"Feipeng, what are you thinking about?" Lin Xue suddenly asked, her voice filled with concern.

"It's nothing," Fei Peng tried to hide his inner turmoil. "I just want to find that customer as soon as possible." He knew that his emotions shouldn't affect Lin Xue, and he didn't want her to worry.

"I believe you can find him." Lin Xue's voice was gentle, yet carried a firm strength, seemingly encouraging Fei Peng and making him no longer feel alone.

"Thank you, Lin Xue." Fei Peng smiled slightly, his heart filled with gratitude. Despite his difficult situation, having her by his side gave him more courage. He thought, "If I can find that customer, perhaps everything will turn around."
