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

Sure enough, it was the patrol team again. Their footsteps were slow and deliberate, clearly patrolling methodically. At this moment, Huang Feipeng didn't feel the urgent urge to escape. On the contrary, he felt a strange sense of relief. Yes, the blow he had just delivered had given him a brief respite, but it also made him realize that he wasn't truly "out of trouble."

"You've only escaped into an even more complicated maze," Huang Feipeng chuckled self-deprecatingly, a faint smile playing on his lips, tinged with bitterness. Just then, he turned his head to look at the other end of the passage—the escape route he had calculated.

By heading in this direction, he could avoid several patrol routes and effectively approach a secluded area. Even so, he dared not be careless. Footsteps were still clearly audible; the patrol team members were still nearby, and he had to proceed with extreme caution. Huang Feipeng harbored no sense of complacency; on the contrary, he became even more vigilant, scanning his surroundings, afraid that any slight movement might arouse suspicion.

"I can't let my guard down this time," Huang Feipeng reminded himself, feeling a heavy pressure enveloping him. Every step he took felt like walking a tightrope; a slight misstep could send him tumbling into the abyss.

He clenched his fist, feeling the hardness between his fingers; it seemed only this slight pain could remind him of the reality of being alive. The lurking dangers growing increasingly unsettling made him. With each step, he silently calculated: would this short distance, due to some insignificant oversight, lead him back into trouble?

Huang Feipeng adjusted his breathing and quickened his pace, heading towards the route he had planned beforehand. The unexpected success he had just achieved had escaped danger, but he knew his real test was far from over. Every small mistake could lead to his utter ruin.

Unbeknownst to him, he had already reached the narrow alleyway. This was a route he frequently took during his previous work; after each mission, he would choose to pass through here because the alleyway was relatively secluded and there weren't many surveillance cameras around. However, today, his feelings were completely different. The dangerous atmosphere in the air made him realize that this path was not the safe passage he had imagined.

"What if there's an ambush here?" Huang Feipeng's heart skipped a beat as he considered this possibility. His intuition told him he had to be extra careful. Although the alley wasn't long, for him now, any small detail could be a matter of life and death.

He slowed his pace, lowered his head, and took a deep breath. His body was tense, and his eyes constantly scanned his surroundings, not letting the slightest movement escape his notice. He knew he didn't have time to think anymore; if he couldn't wait for nightfall, he might not be able to escape safely. So, he quickened his pace, constantly calculating in his mind how he would deal with any danger he might encounter.

As he was moving quickly, suddenly, a dark figure rushed out from the end of the alley. It was so fast that it was almost right behind him before he could react.

"It's over." Huang Feipeng's heart tightened. He instinctively turned around, only to see a pair of deep eyes staring at him through the shadows.
