Lin Fan gently patted her shoulder and comforted her, "It's alright, it's all over. Your father will handle everything."

"Mm." Ye Yuyan nodded, trying to calm herself down.

The car sped through the night, heading towards the city where Ye Zhengxiong lived.

The three of them remained silent throughout the journey, each lost in their own thoughts.

Finally, the car entered a luxurious villa area and stopped in front of an impressive villa.

Lin Fan and Lin Yue accompanied Ye Yuyan out of the car and rang the doorbell.

Soon, the door opened, and a middle-aged man appeared before them; it was Ye Zhengxiong.

When Ye Zhengxiong saw Ye Yuyan, his previously tense face immediately showed a look of surprise and heartache.

He quickly stepped forward and hugged his daughter tightly.

"Yu Yan! My precious daughter! I'm so glad you're alright, so glad you're alright..."

Ye Zhengxiong's voice choked with emotion, and his eyes were moist.

“Dad…” Ye Yuyan hugged her father tightly, tears welling up in her eyes again.

The father and daughter embraced tightly, and at that moment, all their fear and anxiety vanished.

Lin Fan and Lin Yue stood aside, quietly watching this scene, feeling a warmth in their hearts.

After a while, Ye Zhengxiong finally released Ye Yuyan and carefully examined her, afraid that she might have some injuries.

"Yu Yan, are you hurt? Is anything bothering you?" Ye Zhengxiong asked with concern.

"Dad, I'm fine... I was just a little frightened..."

Ye Yuyan shook her head and forced a smile.

Ye Zhengxiong was finally able to relax a little.

He turned his head and looked at Lin Fan and Lin Yue, his eyes filled with gratitude.

"Lin Fan, Lin Yue, thank you so much this time. If it weren't for you, Yu Yan..."

"Uncle Ye, you're too kind," Lin Fan quickly said.

“Yu Yan is our friend, of course we can’t just stand by and watch her die.”

“Yes, Uncle Ye, please don’t say that,” Lin Yue added.

Ye Zhengxiong nodded, looking at Lin Fan with a hint of inquiry in his eyes: "Lin Fan, how did you and Yu Yan... meet?"

Lin Fan briefly explained how he met Ye Yuyan and their relationship.

After listening, Ye Zhengxiong nodded thoughtfully. He looked at Lin Yue again, but his eyes held a strange emotion.

He stared at Lin Yue, his gaze sweeping across her face as if trying to see something deeper beneath her features.

Lin Yue felt a little uncomfortable under his gaze and subconsciously moved closer to Lin Fan.

"Lin Yue..." Ye Zhengxiong began slowly, his voice slightly hoarse, "How...how old are you this year?"

"I...I'm twenty-two," Lin Yue replied, somewhat puzzled.

"Twenty-two..." Ye Zhengxiong murmured to himself, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.

He asked again, "Lin Yue, who are your parents...?"

Lin Yue's eyes dimmed, she lowered her head, and her voice became soft.

"Uncle Ye, I'm an orphan... I grew up in an orphanage... I don't know who my parents are..."

"An orphan?" Ye Zhengxiong's body trembled slightly. He stared intently at Lin Yue, as if trying to find some answer in her face.

“Yes… I’m an orphan…” Lin Yue’s voice choked with emotion, “I… I was found by my brother when I was five years old…”

"Your brother?" Ye Zhengxiong frowned deeply. "Who is your brother?"

Lin Yue pointed to Lin Fan beside her: "He's my brother... Lin Fan..."

Ye Zhengxiong turned his gaze to Lin Fan, his eyes filled with shock and confusion.

"Lin Fan...you mean...you're Lin Yue's brother?" Ye Zhengxiong's voice trembled slightly.

Lin Fan nodded and said, "Uncle Ye, I'm Lin Yue's brother... Although we're not related by blood, we grew up together and are closer than blood siblings..."

Ye Zhengxiong didn't speak. He just stared intently at Lin Yue, his eyes filled with complex emotions: shock, doubt, excitement, and a trace of... indescribable sadness.

“Lin Yue…”

Ye Zhengxiong's voice rang out again, this time with a slight tremor.

"Could you... could you tell me... about your childhood? The more detailed the better..."

Lin Yue looked at Ye Zhengxiong with some confusion, wondering why he was suddenly so interested in her background.

"Uncle Ye, I..." Lin Yue hesitated for a moment before speaking:

“My childhood memories… are actually very blurry… I only remember… that I grew up in an orphanage… when I was five years old… my brother found me at the gate of the orphanage…”

"At the entrance of the welfare home?"

Ye Zhengxiong's body jolted, and he asked urgently.

"Which orphanage? Do you remember?"

"I...I don't remember..." Lin Yue shook her head.

“My brother said… he found me at the gate of an orphanage in a very remote town… that orphanage… seems to have closed down…”

"A small town? Which small town?" Ye Zhengxiong's voice became even more urgent.

"I...I really don't remember..." Lin Yue's tears welled up instantly.

“My brother never told me… He only said… he found me in a very far place…”

Ye Zhengxiong's face turned pale.

He clenched his fists tightly, his body trembling slightly.

"A very far place..." Ye Zhengxiong murmured to himself, "A very far place..."

He suddenly looked up at Lin Fan and asked in a hoarse voice, "Lin Fan! Tell me! Where exactly did you find Lin Yue? Do you remember the name of that town?"

Lin Fan was startled by Ye Zhengxiong's sudden excitement. He quickly said, "Uncle Ye, please don't get excited... I... I really don't remember... I was young then... I can't remember many things..."

"No! You must remember!" Ye Zhengxiong suddenly grabbed Lin Fan's arm, his grip was so strong that it hurt Lin Fan.

"Uncle Ye! You're hurting me!" Lin Fan said, frowning.

Ye Zhengxiong then realized his lapse in composure. He quickly released his grip, a look of apology on his face: "I'm sorry... Lin Fan... I... I got too excited..."

He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, and asked again, "Lin Fan, think about it carefully... You'll definitely remember... This is important to me... and to Lin Yue..."

Looking at Ye Zhengxiong's anxious expression, Lin Fan also felt a sense of doubt.

He didn't know why Ye Zhengxiong was suddenly so interested in Lin Yue's background.

Lin Fan frowned, trying hard to recall things from his childhood. However, too much time had passed, and he could no longer remember many things.

"Uncle Ye...I...I really can't remember..."

Lin Fan said helplessly, "I only remember... it was a very remote town... there were very few people in the town... and the orphanage was very dilapidated..."

“Distressed…distressed…” Ye Zhengxiong muttered to himself.

"Dad, what's wrong?" Ye Yuyan asked worriedly when she saw her father's condition.

Ye Zhengxiong didn't answer. He just stood there blankly, muttering to himself, "Dilapidated...town...orphanage..."

"Uncle Ye, are you alright?" Lin Fan asked worriedly.
