"Dad... what's wrong with you?"

Ye Yuyan's voice was trembling with tears.

She had never seen her father so out of control, which frightened her and broke her heart.

Lin Fan stepped forward, supporting Ye Zhengxiong's swaying body, and asked with concern:

"Uncle Ye, please sit down first, and we can talk about it slowly."

Ye Zhengxiong waved his hand, indicating that he was fine.

After a long while, Ye Zhengxiong finally spoke.

"Lin Fan, Lin Yue, I know my actions just now were somewhat out of line and frightened you. But please believe me, the reason I acted this way is because... because I feel that Lin Yue, she, and a past experience of mine... have some very important connection..."

Lin Fan and Lin Yue exchanged a glance, both seeing shock and confusion in each other's eyes.

They didn't understand what Ye Zhengxiong meant by "important connection".

"Uncle Ye, what...what do you mean by that?"

Lin Fan asked cautiously, afraid of provoking Ye Zhengxiong again.

Ye Zhengxiong did not answer directly, but turned to look at Lin Yue.

"Lin Yue, you...you really don't remember anything from when you were little? You can't remember anything at all?"

Lin Yue shook her head, tears streaming down her cheeks again.

“Uncle Ye, I really don’t remember… I only know that I’m an orphan and grew up in an orphanage… When I was five years old, my brother found me…”

“The welfare home…the town…” Ye Zhengxiong murmured to himself, as if he had fallen into memories again.

He slowly raised his head, looked at Lin Fan and Lin Yue, and said in a trembling voice, "You...you know what? I...I also...lost a child..."

"What?!" Lin Fan and Lin Yue exclaimed at the same time, they simply couldn't believe their ears.

Ye Zhengxiong nodded, his eyes welling up with tears.

“That was… many years ago… At that time… I… I encountered some difficulties… My wife… she… she gave birth to a daughter… but… we couldn’t afford to raise her at the time… so we had no choice… we sent her to an orphanage…”

At this point, Ye Zhengxiong's voice choked up, and he could no longer continue.

Lin Fan and Lin Yue stood there, stunned, their minds blank. They never imagined that Ye Zhengxiong would have such an experience.

"Uncle Ye...you...you mean...the child you lost...was a girl?" Lin Fan's voice trembled slightly.

Ye Zhengxiong nodded, tears streaming down his face. "It was... a girl... When she was born... I... I didn't even get to see her one last time... before she was taken away..."

"Where...is that orphanage...?" Lin

Yue asked eagerly, a glimmer of hope igniting in her heart.

Ye Zhengxiong tried hard to recall: "I remember... it was a very remote town... the town's welfare home... was very dilapidated... I... I only went there once... and never went back..."

“A remote town…a dilapidated orphanage…” Lin Fan murmured to himself. These details matched Lin Yue’s background so perfectly!

He suddenly raised his head and looked at Ye Zhengxiong, his voice trembling as he asked, "Uncle Ye...you...you suspect...Lin Yue...is the child you lost all those years ago?"

Ye Zhengxiong didn't speak; he just stared intently at Lin Yue, his eyes filled with anticipation and trepidation.

Lin Yue stood there, stunned, her heart churning with turmoil.

I can't believe it, I could actually find my biological father!

"This...this is impossible..."

Lin Yue's voice trembled; she both hoped it was true and feared it was just a false hope.

"Lin Yue, I know this is hard to believe... but... so many details match up so perfectly..."

Ye Zhengxiong's voice was hoarse.

You...you and the child I lost back then...were about the same age...we both grew up in an orphanage...and...we both lived in a remote town..."

"Uncle Ye...I..." Lin Yue's tears welled up again, and she didn't know what to say.

Looking at everything before him, Lin Fan was filled with mixed emotions.

He was both happy that Lin Yue might find her biological father and saddened by the thought of losing his sister.

"Uncle Ye, if... if Lin Yue really is your daughter... what do you plan to do?" Lin Fan asked.

Ye Zhengxiong's eyes hardened:

"If Lin Yue really is my daughter... I will do everything in my power to make up for what I owe her in the past... I will give her the best life... I will make her the happiest person in the world!"

"Uncle Ye, what should we do now?" Lin Fan asked.

Ye Zhengxiong said, "The most important thing now is... to find that small town and orphanage from back then... and confirm Lin Yue's background!"

“But… so much time has passed… how are we supposed to find it?” Lin Fan said, frowning.

Ye Zhengxiong's eyes sharpened: "As long as there is hope... we cannot give up! I will use all my connections and resources... we must find that town and the orphanage!"

“Uncle Ye, we’ll search with you!” Lin Fan said firmly.

“Yes! Uncle Ye, let’s look together!” Lin Yue wiped away her tears and said firmly.

Ye Zhengxiong looked at Lin Fan and Lin Yue, his heart filled with emotion.

Regardless of the outcome, these two children will always be by his side.

"Okay! Let's search together!" Ye Zhengxiong's voice was full of strength.

Next, the four began to discuss how to find the town and orphanage from back then.

"First, we need to determine the approximate location of that town."

Ye Zhengxiong said, "Lin Fan, do you remember how long it took you to find Lin Yue back then?"

Lin Fan frowned, trying hard to recall: "I was young then, and I don't remember many things... I only remember... I walked for a long time... I walked a very long way..."

“A very long way…” Ye Zhengxiong muttered to himself, “That’s a huge area…”

"Dad, we can ask people for help!" Ye Yuyan said. "Don't you know a lot of people in the media? We can ask them to help us publish missing person notices!"

Ye Zhengxiong nodded: "Yes! That's a good idea! We can use the power of the media to find those who knew about it back then!"

"Also, we can check the old welfare home system to see if we can find any clues," Lin Fan said.

“I’ve already had someone investigate this,” Ye Zhengxiong said. “However, too much time has passed, and a lot of information may have been lost…”
