But no one can say for sure when the next patrol will come.

We must get the boss out of here immediately!

Falcon supported Lin Fan's arm and could feel the slight stiffness and fatigue in his body.

We must leave immediately; staying even a second longer could lead to unforeseen circumstances.

He gently pulled open the heavy metal door and listened to the sounds outside.

After confirming that it was safe, he helped Lin Fan and quickly and silently slid into the dimly lit passage outside.

The passageway still reeked of the pungent smell of disinfectant.

Falcon did not choose to return the way it came. Although the abandoned pipe was well-hidden, it would be too slow to escape with Lin Fan, and it would also make too large a target.

He decided to take a more direct route, but one that might also encounter more guards.

Time is the most precious thing right now.

He pulled a miniature walkie-talkie from his tactical vest, pressed the encrypted communication button, and quickly reported in a very low whisper.

"Eagle's Nest calling, 'package' received, Plan B route, Exit 3, requesting assistance."

The signal means that the external support team will act immediately.

He put away his walkie-talkie, supported Lin Fan with one hand, and held a silenced pistol in the other, walking in front of him as a mobile shield and eyes.

The boss is in better condition than expected, but his actions are still somewhat slow, so we must be extra careful.

The two moved quickly through the underground labyrinthine passages, keeping their steps extremely low.

The falcon's gaze is like radar, scanning every corner and every shadow.

The structure here is more complex than the drawings show; Tang Zhong has clearly modified it.

Just as they approached a corner, a sudden burst of chaotic footsteps and shouts came from ahead.

A patrol of at least five guards, guns at the ready, was walking briskly toward this place!

Almost instinctively, Falcon shoved Lin Fan into a depression formed by a pipe.

"Crouch down! Don't move!"

At the same time, he lowered his body and raised the silenced pistol in his hand.

Puff! Puff! Puff!

The muffled gunshots echoed through the narrow passage, like the whisper of death.

The two guards at the front fell to the ground without even seeing their attackers.

The other side was clearly not expecting to encounter enemies here. After a brief moment of surprise, they immediately raised their guns and returned fire.

Bullets struck the walls and pipes, scattering sparks and debris.

Using the dent as cover, Falcon calmly fired in short bursts.

His movements were as fast as lightning, and his marksmanship was terrifyingly accurate.

Every bullet hit its target accurately.

The firefight lasted less than ten seconds.

All five guards fell, leaving only the heavy smell of gunpowder and blood in the passage.

We can't stay any longer; the gunshots have surely alerted even more people.

Faintly, a piercing alarm sounded from deep within the underground area.

They were exposed as expected!

Falcon stopped trying to hide and pulled Lin Fan up.

"Boss, let's go!"

The two of them started running quickly toward the designated emergency exit number three.

Although exhausted, Lin Fan was now bursting with the will to survive, closely following the falcon's steps.

The alarm blared louder and louder, and hurried footsteps and shouts came from all directions.

Guards, alerted by the news, kept appearing at the entrances to the passageways ahead or to the sides, attempting to intercept them.

Like a ghost on the battlefield, the falcon pulled Lin Fan along, sometimes using cover to fight back, and sometimes sprinting at high speed.

His shooting was precise and deadly, always clearing obstacles in the shortest amount of time.

Bullets kept whizzing past them.

Lin Fan's heart pounded violently; he had never experienced such a scene of gunfire before.

But he forced himself to remain calm and trusted the silent but reliable security guard beside him.

Finally, an iron gate leading to the ground appeared ahead.

That's Exit 3!

However, seven or eight guards had already gathered at the entrance, and their firepower had clearly increased, forming a dense blockade line.

Bullets rained down, pinning them down behind a corner.

We won't make it through at this rate!

A resolute glint flashed in Falcon's eyes.

He pulled a cylindrical object from his waist, unhooked the safety pin, and threw it forcefully toward the guard.

It's a smoke bomb!

laugh--

Thick white smoke quickly spread, obscuring visibility.

"Boss, let's go in first!"

Falcon shouted, "Provide covering fire!"

Without hesitation, Lin Fan took advantage of the smoke to rush towards the iron gate of the maintenance passage.

Just then, a muffled explosion was faintly heard from the ground, followed by the loud crash of a vehicle collision!

The external support team has begun their operation! The chaos successfully drew the attention of some of the guards at the entrance.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Lin Fan twisted the iron gate handle and slipped into the passage.

Falcon followed closely behind, and the moment it entered the passage, it slammed the heavy iron door shut behind it and quickly locked it from the inside.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

Angry banging and gunfire erupted from outside, but the heavy iron door temporarily blocked their way.

The maintenance passage was even dimmer, with only an upward-pointing, rusty metal ladder.

"Quick! Climb up!"

Falcon urged, while he followed closely behind, keeping a watchful eye on what was below.

The two quickly climbed up the cold, slippery ladder.

They were physically exhausted, but their will to survive sustained them.

Finally, a sliver of light appeared overhead.

It is an exit located in the corner of an abandoned warehouse on the ground.

The falcon climbed out first, quickly establishing a perimeter.

The warehouse was empty, filled only with dust and debris.

Outside the exit, the faint sound of police sirens could be heard in the distance.

An unremarkable black van had already been quietly parked in the shadows behind the warehouse door.

The car door opened, and two people dressed in ordinary work clothes got out; they were members of the support team.

"President Lin! Falcon!"

Falcon helped Lin Fan quickly get into the car.

The car doors closed quickly.

With a low growl, the engine shot off like an arrow, quickly merging into the complex traffic of Singapore's night streets and disappearing from sight.

The sirens of the pursuers were left far behind.

Inside the car, the staff immediately handed out clean towels and bottled water.

One of them took out a medical kit and began to check Lin Fan for any external injuries, while quietly inquiring about his physical condition.

Lin Fan waved his hand, took the water and drank a few sips, his voice a little hoarse.

"I'm fine, just a little tired."

He leaned back in his seat, his tense nerves relaxing slightly, but his eyes remained sharp as he watched the street scenes rushing past the window.

This experience was like a nightmare.

Tang Zhong, with connections across the four seas... This debt will never be settled so easily.

Falcon then took out another encrypted communicator and reported to the Qihang headquarters.

"Eagle Nest reports: The target has been safely rescued and is being evacuated from Singapore to a backup airport."

The vehicle did not take the main road, but instead weaved through some remote side roads and alleys, avoiding possible tracking and interception.

Qihang Technology had already made all the necessary preparations.

A Gulfstream private jet is currently parked quietly on a backup airport runway in Singapore, a place almost unknown to outsiders, ready to take off at any moment.

The vehicle sped along and arrived smoothly at the small airport, which was not heavily guarded.

Lin Fan and Falcon boarded the plane quickly via a specially arranged fast track.

The hatch closed.

A few minutes later, accompanied by the loud roar of the engines, the plane taxied, took off, and pierced the dark night sky, leaving Singapore's airspace at top speed and heading towards Kyoto.

Several hours later.

The plane landed smoothly at a highly secure private airport on the outskirts of Kyoto.

Several black security vehicles had been waiting on both sides of the runway for some time.

Qihang Technology's core security team members, along with a professional medical team, were already on high alert.

The hatch opened and the gangway was lowered.

Lin Fan appeared at the cabin door.

He changed into a clean set of casual clothes. Although his face still showed undisguised fatigue, his deep eyes had regained their former sharpness and composure.

He walked down the gangway step by step, his gaze sweeping over the crowd that had come to greet him.

Just then, a black Hongqi sedan quietly drove up.

The car door was suddenly pushed open.

A familiar figure, filled with an indescribable urgency, rushed out of the car.

It's Ye Yuyan!

She was wearing a simple beige trench coat, and her hair was slightly disheveled from running.

When she saw that familiar figure at the bottom of the gangway, all her worries, fears, and anxieties instantly turned into a torrent of tears.

Lin Fan!

He's back! He's really back safe and sound!

Ye Yuyan almost staggered as she rushed forward.

Lin Fan also saw her, and his eyes instantly softened.

He opened his arms.

Ye Yuyan threw herself into his arms, hugging him tightly and forcefully, as if she wanted to meld him into her very bones.

Her body trembled slightly from excitement and lingering fear, and tears silently soaked the front of his shirt.

Lin Fan hugged her back tightly, feeling the trembling and warmth of the person in his arms. His heart, which had been tense all the way through the dangers in Singapore, finally settled down at this moment.

His body was also trembling slightly uncontrollably.

Neither of them spoke.

At this moment, any words would be superfluous.

Only this tight embrace can express our endless longing and worry for each other.

The security personnel and medical staff around stood silently by, not disturbing this heartwarming moment of reunion after the disaster.

After a long while, Ye Yuyan finally calmed down a bit, raised her tear-streaked face, and looked carefully at Lin Fan's face.

"Are you... are you alright? Are they...?"

Her voice was still choked with sobs.
