Yang Fan was taken aback and asked, "Who?"
Duan Ye frowned: "That one from the mental hospital."
Yang Fan slurped up the tripe in one gulp, picked up his clothes, and stood up: "Then what are we waiting for? Hurry up and catch up."
Yang Fan arrived at the door quickly, with Duan Ye following closely behind.
As Yang Fan walked, he communicated with his teammates through his headset: "Attention, attention, target has appeared, spread out and track."
And so, Duan Ye and Yang Fan followed Ye Nuan all the way into the deep alley of the old residential building.
Ye Nuan stopped at a newsstand, while Yang Fan and Duan Ye followed at a distance.
Yang Fan: "When did this girl come out?"
Duan Ye: "How should I know? What kind of question is that..."
Does Ye Nuan have to report to him when she is discharged from the hospital?
As far as Duan Ye knew, Ye Nuan was indeed ill. The doctor had already said that once Ye Nuan's condition stabilized, the hospital would issue a discharge certificate.
Yang Fan was surprised: "If I'm not mistaken, your wife must have sent someone to keep an eye on her, right? Since your wife didn't receive any news about Ye Nuan's discharge from the hospital, how did Ye Nuan manage to get out without being noticed by so many people?"
Yang Fan and Duan Ye exchanged a glance, clearly having thought of the same thing.
Yang Fan suddenly laughed: "We've been focusing our attention on these residential buildings in Kyoto. No wonder we haven't been able to find that Jiang family member. It seems Ye Nuan is providing cover."
Yang Fan couldn't help but sigh, "Duan Ye, you have good taste! Every ex you've had has been quite the troublemaker..."
Duan Ye lazily twitched his lips: "I'll take that as a compliment."
The two waited and waited, but Ye Nuan just browsed around the newsstand, finally bought a bottle of water, then walked a few steps forward, sat down at a food stall, ordered a bowl of cold noodles, and slowly enjoyed it.
Yang Fan looked at Ye Nuan's behavior with great confusion: "How long does it take to commute from Ye Nuan's house to here?"
Duan Ye: "At least an hour and a half."
After all, they're going in the opposite direction.
An hour and a half later, neither of them believed that Ye Nuan had traveled so far just to eat a bowl of cold noodles.
Yang Fan sighed, "It seems we've been discovered."
Duan Ye remained silent, clearly acknowledging Yang Fan's words.
Duan Ye glanced at Ye Nuan from afar; she looked much thinner than she had last year.
Duan Ye thought he would never cross paths with Ye Nuan again in this life, but he never expected that the first clue he found after returning to Kyoto would be Ye Nuan.
Duan Ye: "I'm going back now."
To be honest, Duan Ye didn't want to face Ye Nuan directly. After what had happened, he just wanted to live in peace.
Yang Fan: "Since we're already here, why are we leaving?"
Yang Fan grabbed Duan Ye and walked towards the food stall where Ye Nuan was eating.
Yang Fan didn't want to make things difficult for Duan Ye, but now, Ye Nuan was the only clue, and he didn't think he could get Ye Nuan to talk.
Duan Ye frowned, feeling quite unhappy, but Yang Fan had already led her to the food stall where Ye Nuan was.
Yang Fan: "Boss, two more bowls of cold noodles, please."
Duan Ye: "You still have room to eat?"
Yang Fan: "This is nothing!"
And so, the two sat on the other side of Ye Nuan. Although the alley was deep in the alley, there were still quite a few people living there, and it was quite lively with people coming and going.
It was Yang Fan who spoke first: "Miss Ye, I didn't expect to run into you here. What a coincidence!"
Ye Nuan looked up. Today she was wearing a black windbreaker with the collar pulled up high to block the slightly chilly wind. She had shoulder-length hair, and her black hair was casually tied behind her head. She was still young. Although she had been sick for a while and her face had become more pointed, she was still fresh and lively. She was a real beauty despite her illness.
When Ye Nuan saw Duan Ye again, she wasn't as excited as before. She just glanced at him indifferently, but the emotions in her eyes were still easy to see if you looked closely.
Unfortunately, Duan Ye did not examine it closely.
Ye Nuan: "Officer Yang, this must not be a coincidence, right? You've been following me."
Ye Nuan said this almost with certainty.
Yang Fan smiled and didn't argue. He simply said, "I'm doing some business nearby. I'm quite curious, Miss Ye, your home is quite far from here, so why did you come all the way here for snacks?"
"Also, when was Miss Ye discharged from the hospital? Has she recovered?"
Ye Nuan smiled faintly: "Officer Yang, it seems wrong to pry into the privacy of the public without permission."
"I don't think I'm obligated to agree with what you're saying."
After Ye Nuan finished speaking, she lowered her head and continued eating her cold noodles.
Seeing this, Yang Fan could only nudge Duan Ye with his elbow.
Duan Ye could no longer remain indifferent, so he sighed and asked, "How have you been lately?"
Ye Nuan's hands and feet trembled slightly. She thought Duan Ye would question her and accuse her, but she didn't expect...
"Thanks to you, I've always been fine."
These words carried a hint of resentment.
Duan Ye didn't refute it, but simply said, "It's good that you've recovered."
"Jiang Jingchuan is not a good person. If he asks you to make any deals, don't agree."
"If you encounter any difficulties or threats, you can contact Officer Yang."
After Duan Ye finished speaking, the owner brought over two bowls of cold noodles: "Our cold noodles are the best, you should try them, come back often if you like them."
Yang Fan smiled and nodded: "Okay, thanks."
Ye Nuan remained silent for a long time, with only the sounds of strangers talking and the shopkeeper's hawking echoing in her ears.
Duan Ye and Yang Fan finished their meal in silence.
Before leaving, Duan Ye said, "No matter what happened in the past, we still have to live our lives. As long as we are alive, we can always find a way to get through life."
"Ye Nuan, don't get any deeper into this mess."
After saying that, Duan Ye turned and left, paying for the three people.
Duan Ye left first, but Yang Fan didn't.
It wasn't until Ye Nuan asked him, "The main character has left, what are you still doing sitting here?"
Yang Fan smiled, looking at the girl who was just over twenty years old, and couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness.
"Ye Nuan, we all want the best for you. You and I both know what being here means. We don't want to delve into it. You have a bright future ahead of you. Don't ruin your life for unworthy people and things."
Just as Yang Fan was about to leave, Ye Nuan asked him, "You mean Duan Ye, someone who's not worth it?"
Yang Fan: "He is indeed not a worthwhile person for you."
"The school has granted you a leave of absence. School starts soon, so go back to school and study hard. Let the adults handle their own affairs."
Ye Nuan's eyes were strange, but she didn't say anything.
Yang Fan handed his business card to Ye Nuan: "Everyone makes mistakes sometimes; you have to realize your mistakes and correct them."
“Every law-abiding citizen of our country has the right to request assistance from judicial authorities at any time.”
After saying that, Yang Fan didn't linger and turned to leave.
But from afar came a voice saying, "At such a young age, you should be enjoying your youth in school."
Yang Fan hopes that one day Ye Nuan will take the initiative to tell him everything.
