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

No matter how hard Huang Feipeng tried to understand, Lu Feng remained unwilling to reveal any further information. That cold distance seemed to be the thickest barrier between Huang Feipeng and reality.

He knew full well that he was not in control in this game. However, Huang Feipeng's heart did not completely succumb to this oppressive feeling. He calmed down for a moment and finally made a decision—no matter what, he should not continue to wait passively, at least not allow himself to be trapped in this silent cage.

“I’m not waiting any longer.” He said firmly, looking up at Lu Feng. “I’m not interested in the choices you’ve mentioned. I’ll decide for myself how I want to go.”

Lu Feng raised an eyebrow slightly, seemingly unsurprised by Huang Feipeng's decision. "You can only decide the direction you take, but you still can't control where you end up." His words were devoid of emotion, as if stating an unavoidable fact.

Huang Feipeng didn't reply. His heart was still heavy, but at least in this moment, he felt he had made a decision he could take responsibility for. He was no longer willing to wait, nor would he leave himself to fate. He wanted to make a change, even if it meant greater risks, even if he might never truly understand Lu Feng's real motives.

"Then, let's go." Huang Feipeng's tone was calm, but it concealed a hint of determination.

Huang Feipeng followed closely behind Lu Feng, his mind still filled with unanswered questions. With each step, he felt his heart race, as if an unseen force was subtly guiding him towards a place he didn't fully understand. The air in the warehouse was somewhat oppressive, as if every inch of space was filled with an unknown sense of pressure. Huang Feipeng couldn't help but frown; the feeling of being controlled deep within him grew stronger, but he knew that he could no longer retreat.

"Do you know what I'm thinking?" Huang Feipeng suddenly spoke, breaking the silence between the two. There was a hint of urgency in his voice, as well as a sense of helplessness. He looked at Lu Feng's back, feeling a strange heaviness in his heart, as if all his emotions had gathered at one point in that instant, and could no longer be hidden.

Lu Feng didn't turn around, his steps unwavering, remaining steady. After a moment, he softly replied, "I know what you're thinking."

These words seemed to instantly grip Huang Feipeng's heart. His steps involuntarily faltered, and his heart pounded violently. He knew? How did he know? How could he so easily perceive the confusion and bewilderment deep within him? This feeling of knowing filled him with both unease and a nameless fear.

Huang Feipeng's thoughts quickly returned to their earlier conversation. Every word Lu Feng uttered seemed to contain an unspoken implication, as if trying to guide him onto a predetermined path. This man was not simple from the start; not only could he handle everything calmly, but he also seemed to possess something Huang Feipeng couldn't comprehend. Each conversation with him was like walking into a fog; the deeper he went, the more bewildered he became.

"What exactly are you hiding?" Huang Feipeng's voice carried a hint of impatience; he felt his emotions were spiraling out of control. Every time he tried to get closer to Lu Feng, to touch upon some truth, he was always blocked by an invisible barrier. That unease accumulated in his heart, gradually swelling.

Lu Feng didn't turn around, but simply said softly, "What you want to know is not something you should ask now."

Huang Feipeng frowned slightly, his anxiety intensifying. He understood that he was trapped in a complex situation, and no matter how hard he tried to uncover the truth, he seemed unable to find the answer. He unconsciously quickened his pace, drawing closer to the truth.

"I don't understand why you're always so vague." Huang Feipeng's tone was clearly impatient. "What exactly do you want me to do? Or what are you after?"

Lu Feng finally stopped and turned to look at Huang Feipeng. His eyes were incredibly deep, as if they could see through everything. Huang Feipeng felt an inexplicable pressure coming from Lu Feng's gaze, which made him momentarily lose his composure, and his inner anxiety was instantly suppressed.

“I didn’t ask you to do anything,” Lu Feng said calmly, his tone carrying a hint of composure. “You’ve always thought you could control everything, but you’ve consistently underestimated the situation.”

Huang Feipeng's heart raced once more. At this moment, he finally realized that his situation was far more complicated than he had imagined. Looking at Lu Feng, he felt a strong sense of powerlessness, as if he had no right to question anything at all.

"Underestimated the situation?" Huang Feipeng was stunned for a moment, a wave of unease washing over him, his mind suddenly going blank. Although Lu Feng's tone remained calm, his words felt like a boulder pressing heavily on his chest. Huang Feipeng had always considered himself capable of making accurate judgments in handling all problems, but now, he suddenly realized he had never felt so lost.

“Yes, the situation.” Lu Feng’s eyes sharpened. “You haven’t fully grasped the reality you’re facing. It’s not as simple as you think.”

Huang Feipeng fell silent. His doubts surged again like a tide. Every time he tried to get closer to the truth, Lu Feng always managed to cleverly evade him, always leading him into deeper fog. This hidden game was something Huang Feipeng couldn't fully see through for the time being.

"What exactly do you mean by the situation you're talking about?" He no longer concealed his doubts, a determined glint in his eyes. He didn't want to wait passively any longer; he wanted to understand the current situation as soon as possible, to figure out Lu Feng's true intentions. Huang Feipeng could no longer endure this unsolvable confusion.

Lu Feng gave him a deep look, as if weighing whether to continue. There was no emotion in his eyes, as if he had already made up his mind about everything.

“You think you’re looking for answers, but you never realize that every question you ask is part of the game.” Lu Feng’s voice turned low again. “You’ve been in a trap from the very beginning, and now you have no choice.”

Huang Feipeng's body jolted violently; it felt as if a heavy stone had struck his heart. His mind went blank, and he was gripped by extreme confusion and panic. His lips trembled slightly, his heart filled with an overwhelming sense of shock and fear. He realized he had never felt so helpless before.
