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

He took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and tried his best to steady his breathing. The footsteps grew closer, and he had to be even more careful with every movement. The deep darkness around him seemed to be his only refuge at this moment. He pressed his body against the damp, cold brick wall, trying his best not to make a sound. He knew that in this dark corner, any tiny sound could give away his location.

"Are they going to pass through here?" A thought flashed through Huang Feipeng's mind. His eyes were fixed on the entrance to the passage where footsteps were about to arrive, and his heart was pounding like a storm.

Meanwhile, the footsteps became increasingly clear. There were at least two people, and their steps were quick, clearly indicating they were moving towards a destination. Huang Feipeng felt a surge of tension, but then a bold idea quickly formed in his mind—since there was no way to avoid it, why not… create an accident?

"Perhaps it's time to give them a 'surprise'," Huang Feipeng murmured to himself, a cold smile playing on his lips. In that instant, his mind raced, calculating how to retaliate. His thoughts worked almost without hesitation; he made up his mind to use this unexpected opportunity to buy himself time, or perhaps even to create chaos.

Huang Feipeng's gaze swept across his surroundings, quickly searching for anything he could use to deal with the two patrolmen. Although the environment was dark and dilapidated, some tools were still piled haphazardly in the corners. Just a few steps away, he spotted a rusty iron hammer. Although it looked old and worn, at this moment, anything could become his weapon. He moved with lightning speed, reaching out and grabbing the hammer's handle.

"This is it," Huang Feipeng thought to himself, a sly glint in his eyes.

The footsteps drew closer, and Huang Feipeng felt time slow down. At that moment, all his senses were heightened. Every second became incredibly precious. He could even clearly feel the heavy weight of the hammer in his hand, and the subtle vibrations it emitted. Huang Feipeng knew that what he was about to face was no longer a simple act of evasion, but a head-on confrontation.

"Alright...come on." Huang Feipeng sneered inwardly, waiting for the perfect moment.

When the two patrolmen appeared at the entrance to the passage, Huang Feipeng didn't hesitate. He leaped forward, swinging his hammer, aiming directly at a water pipe ahead. He knew the pipe was a prominent landmark in the corridor; a proper strike would create a loud noise, enough to attract the patrolmen's attention and perhaps even divert it elsewhere. At the same time, the damage to the pipe would inevitably create a brief period of chaos, and this opportunity would be Huang Feipeng's only chance to turn the tide.

"Bang!" The hammer slammed heavily onto the water pipe, producing a deafening sound. Immediately, Huang Feipeng leaped and quickly hid in the shadows nearby. He held his breath, trying his best to remain silent, quietly observing what was about to happen.

Sure enough, the two patrolling guards stopped abruptly upon hearing the sound, their expressions tense as they quickly turned to search for its source. Huang Feipeng seized the opportunity to crouch down, almost blending into the ground, his eyes fixed on the two men's every move. The two patrolmen were clearly unprepared for this situation; they looked around warily, searching for the source of the sound. Huang Feipeng sneered inwardly, already secretly planning his next move.

"What's going on?" one of the patrolmen asked in a low voice, his eyes still scanning the surroundings warily.

"I'm not mistaken, there's something wrong with the water pipe. Let's go take a look." The other person seemed a little puzzled, but didn't ask any further questions. Instead, they quickly walked towards the water pipe.

The opportunity had finally arrived. Huang Feipeng made his decision almost instantly. He knew that if he didn't seize this chance to leave, the situation would become increasingly complicated. The patrolmen hadn't noticed the blind spots around them, giving him a chance to catch his breath. He leaped up, quickly avoiding the patrolmen's gaze, and vanished from the shadows in an instant, running towards the route he had already planned.

"Faster, faster, faster, don't stop!" Huang Feipeng hissed, his heart filled with intense anxiety. Every second felt like a brush with death, and a pungent tension permeated the air.

As the distance gradually increased, Huang Feipeng felt his breathing become somewhat calmer, but he knew this was not the end, but the beginning. Escape did not mean safety; on the contrary, it meant more challenges. His mind was already calculating the next steps, searching for a more concealed route.

As Huang Feipeng moved forward quickly, he kept mentally calculating each move he would make next. His head was still spinning, his mind a complete mess—in the instant he struck the water pipe with the hammer, he hadn't fully realized the chain reaction it would trigger. In that instant, he only knew he needed to make noise to disrupt the patrolmen's rhythm, but he hadn't expected that such a casual strike would grant him temporary freedom so quickly.

"How could it be so easy?" Huang Feipeng almost muttered to himself, his voice unusually clear in the quiet environment. "This is impossible."

He abruptly stopped, leaning against a dilapidated brick wall, panting heavily. A strange chill ran down his spine, making his heart race. Huang Feipeng dared not let his guard down; he knew this unexpected opportunity might only be temporary. The two patrolmen hadn't reacted immediately, but he had already vanished from their sight without a trace, leaving him with an inexplicable sense of confusion and unease.

"Was what I did really right?" Huang Feipeng frowned in thought, a deep-seated doubt suddenly rising in his heart. The success just now seemed too smooth, as if everything was developing according to his intentions. However, his intuition told him that there might be some kind of danger hidden behind it that he was not yet aware of.

"Damn it, I'm not running away, I'm heading towards an even more complicated situation." Huang Feipeng bit his lip, his anxiety growing stronger.

At this moment, he couldn't help but recall his past experiences. As a policeman, he had countless missions, but every operation was fraught with uncertainty. Whether it was an ambush, a pursuit, or a stealth operation, every success was not accidental, but rather the result of numerous rehearsals and countless simulations. Today, this opportunity to escape, though seemingly an unexpected stroke of luck...
