"If I can find their trail, I can find a breakthrough." Fei Peng took a deep breath and tried to remain calm. "Perhaps I can find some people in the vicinity to inquire about information."

“Then we must proceed with caution.” Lin Hao nodded in agreement, a renewed fighting spirit rekindling in his eyes, seemingly inspired by Fei Peng’s determination. Fei Peng sensed a subtle tacit understanding emerging between the two and breathed a slight sigh of relief.

“We need to keep a covert observation near Xiaoxue’s car,” Feipeng said, walking deeper into the alley, wondering if the enemy would leave any other traces. He took each step cautiously, afraid of alerting the enemy lurking in the shadows.

"I'll stay here and be ready to meet you at any time." Lin Hao's voice came from behind him, and Fei Peng felt a warmth in his heart, knowing that he was not alone.

"Thank you, Lin Hao." Fei Peng smiled slightly, his heart filled with gratitude. He realized how important it was to have a trustworthy ally in such a perilous situation.

After navigating several narrow alleys, Feipeng finally returned to the taxi where Xiaoxue was. Xiaoxue was still sitting nervously in the car, her hands gripping the steering wheel tightly, her expression revealing anxiety. When she saw Feipeng approaching, the tension on her face eased slightly.

"Are you alright?" Xiaoxue's voice was filled with concern, her eyes shining with trust and expectation for Feipeng. Feipeng nodded, trying to appear relaxed, but his inner anxiety continued to intensify.

"I've found some information that might help our plan," Fei Peng said in a low voice, secretly pondering how to explain things clearly.

"You mean those enemies chasing us?" Xiaoxue's expression changed slightly, and panic showed in her eyes. She was obviously terrified of the danger of the chase.

“I just ran into A-Qiang’s friend, and he told me that the enemy’s organization is huge and has a clear objective.” Fei Peng’s voice remained low, trying to appear calm. “But we still have a chance, as long as we act properly.”

"Then what should we do?" A hint of doubt flashed in Xiaoxue's eyes; she wanted to hear an answer that would put her at ease. Feipeng sensed her anxiety and unease, and secretly resolved to give her a solution.

“First, we need to make sure we find a hiding place before they track us down, and then look for an opportunity,” Fei Peng said, a plan flashing through his mind. “We can inquire about the situation in the vicinity and see if we can get more information.”

“But… what if they find us…” Xiaoxue’s words were tinged with unease, her heart filled with unknown fear. Feipeng took a deep breath, realizing that Xiaoxue’s worries were reasonable, but he couldn’t let her lose confidence now.

"I will protect you, we will find a way." Fei Peng's voice was firm and warm, his eyes revealing an indomitable courage. He knew that this was not only a promise to Xiao Xue, but also a testament to his own inner conviction.

Just then, a deep engine sound came from behind, and Fei Peng's heart jumped. He looked alertly in the direction of the sound. The outlines of those black SUVs immediately flashed into his mind, and his heart tightened.

"Xiaoxue, quick! Hide!" Feipeng whispered, his heart filled with urgency. Xiaoxue reacted immediately, quickly crawling into the back seat of the car, her face pale and full of tension.

Fei Peng quickly searched for a place to hide and finally decided to lie down in the shadows next to the car, silently praying, "I hope this car can shield us from the enemy's view." His heart was churning with a mix of tension and anticipation.

The engine sound drew closer, and Fei Peng could clearly hear the screeching of tires against the ground; his heart nearly leaped out of his chest. He held his breath, his gaze fixed on the approaching vehicle. The black SUV stood out starkly in the dim light, and several cold, stern eyes peered out from the windows.

"Damn it, time is of the essence!" Fei Peng cursed inwardly, his palms slightly sweaty. He knew that if the enemy discovered him, the consequences would be unimaginable.

The SUV slowly drove past the taxi. Fei Peng's heart was in his throat; he almost held his breath. Just then, the driver of the black SUV seemed to notice something, abruptly stopped, opened the door, and several burly men got out, looking around.

"They're here!" Fei Peng whispered to Xiao Xue, silently praying, "You must stay calm."

In the dark night, Fei Peng's heartbeat contrasted sharply with the surrounding silence. He leaned against the taxi, took a deep breath, and felt a tightness in his throat, making it hard to breathe. At the same time, he knew his time was running out.

"Xiaoxue, keep quiet," he whispered, though he couldn't suppress his unease. Just as he was about to reassess the situation, a sudden, impulsive thought flashed through his mind—perhaps he could call home and ask his family if they knew anything about the recent events, or if there were any resources they could rely on.

Filled with hesitation and fear, Fei Peng reluctantly took out his phone, his mind racing: "Will doing this reveal my location? Will it let them find Xiao Xue?" However, the enemies around him seemed ready to attack at any moment, and time was of the essence for him.

"But I need to know, I must find a way out." Fei Peng pondered to himself, his finger swiping across the screen before finally dialing his home number. As the phone rang, Fei Peng's heart was filled with anticipation and unease, as if in the dark abyss ahead, the only light was that familiar voice.

"Beep—beep—" Each ring of the phone struck his heart like a heavy hammer. Fei Peng gripped the phone tightly, his palms sweating. He hoped his family would answer in time, yet he was also afraid they would be caught up in this crisis.

"Hello? Who is it?" The voice on the other end of the phone interrupted Fei Peng's thoughts. Fei Peng's heart sank suddenly, and he nervously replied, "Mom, it's me, Fei Peng." His voice was filled with extreme tension and unease, and even he himself felt slightly uncomfortable.

"Feipeng! Are you alright? Why haven't you been back lately?" His mother's voice came through the phone, tinged with worry and concern, warming Feipeng's heart. However, this was followed by a deeper anxiety: "I'm in some trouble right now, and I might need your help."

"What's wrong?" His mother's voice immediately became tense, as if she sensed Feipeng's unusual behavior. Feipeng felt guilty, knowing he shouldn't have passed on his panic to his mother, but he knew that only his mother, who understood the situation, could offer him advice and support.
