The He family lives in the **family compound here. There are guards at the gate, and you need to register to enter.
Du Yuhan was a complete stranger here, so she was stopped by the guards at the entrance.
Huo Xicheng comforted the He family at their home before preparing to return to his unit. He Zhendong needed to stay home to comfort his parents, while Huo Xicheng had to return to his unit to keep an eye on things.
When he drove to the gate of the compound, he saw the gatekeeper stopping a girl and talking to her.
He thought he was seeing things when he saw it, but it turned out to be Du Yuhan, whom everyone thought was dead.
Huo Xicheng stopped the car abruptly, ran to Du Yuhan, grabbed her hand, and exclaimed in surprise, "Du Yuhan, you're not dead?"
Upon seeing Huo Xicheng, Du Yuhan said, "Brother Huo, this is my first time here, and I can't get in by myself. Do you live here? Could you take me in?"
Huo Xicheng's eyes welled up with tears as he said, "Of course, no problem, I'll take you in."
Huo Xicheng completed the registration procedures with the gatekeeper and took Du Yuhan to the car to return to the He family home.
The area where this residential compound is located used to be inhabited by a diverse population, including many foreigners, so the buildings here are mostly Western-style. Later, it was renovated on the original site and transformed into the residential compound we see today.
The buildings inside include two-story houses, some single-story houses, and some older multi-story buildings. However, they are all built in a very orderly manner, and the entire residential compound is very clean and tidy.
Huo Xicheng said, "The family received the news that you were killed in the bombing in Kyoto. Uncle He and Aunt Yu are devastated and heartbroken. Luckily you came back in time. Otherwise, who knows what would have happened."
Du Yuhan secretly regretted that she should have come back earlier, so that her parents wouldn't have to endure this torment.
Huo Xicheng drove her to the courtyard of a two-story building.
As soon as the two got out of the car and entered the yard, they heard crying coming from inside the house, and her heart tightened.
Huo Xicheng entered the house first and called out, "Uncle He, Aunt Yu, Yuhan is back. She's not dead."
Everyone stopped crying when they heard Huo Xicheng's return and stared blankly at him as he entered. When they saw Du Yuhan following behind Huo Xicheng, He Zhendong was the first to rush over and hug her, crying with joy, "Little sister, is that you? You're not dead?"
Du Yuhan replied, "It's me, no doubt about it."
Yu Huiru reacted and ran forward, pulling her second son aside and hugging Du Yuhan, crying, "Yuhan, my daughter, it's so good that you're still alive. Thank God."
Everyone else who saw the living Du Yuhan also wept with joy.
Huo Xicheng quickly closed the door and said, "Auntie, let's go inside and talk. Yuhan must be tired."
Yu Huiru noticed her daughter looked haggard and quickly wiped away her tears, pulling Du Yuhan towards the sofa. "Come sit down and tell Mom what happened. Why are people saying you're dead?"
He Zhenhua quickly poured his sister a glass of water and said, "Little sister, you don't look well. Sit down and have some water to rest."
He Zhendong asked, "Little sister, what exactly happened? Why are the reports from Kyoto saying you were killed in the bombing?"
Du Yuhan drank a glass of water and said, "On the surface, I was indeed killed in the bombing. There will be no more Du Yuhan in this world, only the daughter of the He family."
Everyone exchanged glances, and He Zhenhua asked, "Han Yixian from Kyoto said you are his fiancée. What's going on?"
Du Yuhan said with a somber expression, "Du Yuhan was indeed his fiancée before, but at the scene of the explosion, he personally said he was going to get engaged to someone else, so Du Yuhan was no longer his fiancée. And now Du Yuhan is dead. I have nothing to do with him."
I don't want the name Du Yuhan to be mentioned again. I also don't want anyone connected to Han Yixian to know I'm still alive; let them think I'm dead.
Seeing Du Yuhan's reddened eyes and the sight of her about to cry, Yu Huiru glared at her eldest son and said, "What nonsense are you asking?"
Yu Huiru sat down next to Du Yuhan, holding her daughter's hand and said, "Yuhan, since you don't want to use your old name anymore, how about using the new name your dad registered for your household?"
Du Yuhan asked, "A new name?"
Yu Huiru nodded and said, "After we arrived in Northeast China, we registered you in the household as well. It proves that you are part of our family. And your father gave you a new name, He Muhan. The surname was changed, and the middle character of the given name was changed."
You can use this new identity from now on. We'll all call you Xiaohan from now on. That way, it'll be the same as if you didn't change your name at all.
Du Yuhan nodded and said, "This is a good name. I will use this name from now on."
Eager to know how his sister had escaped death, He Zhendong asked, "Little sister, how did you escape from those bad guys?"
Du Yuhan knew she would definitely face a problem, so she had already thought it through.
She said, "I was being held hostage by the thugs. They thought I was just a weak woman, so they didn't pay much attention to me. Plus, there were a lot of people around, and there were only two of them, so they were only paying attention to the outside, which gave them an opportunity."
I untied the rope binding me, and when they weren't looking, I grabbed one of their pistols and shot them both.
Then I tried to escape, but I didn't want to face Han Yixian, so I crawled out through an inconspicuous hole at the back of the factory. But I didn't expect that the thugs in the factory had planted a bomb. They detonated the bomb, and I was thrown a long way by the blast.
I was so shocked that I felt like my whole body was falling apart. I walked a little further with sheer willpower before I couldn't hold on any longer and collapsed.
