Han Xiao's heart sank when he heard that He Yuhan had been kidnapped again. He frowned and asked, "How could someone kidnap Yuhan? Do you know who did it?"
Han Yixian said, "We don't know exactly who it is yet, but Yuhan shouldn't be in any immediate danger. However, before the Lunar New Year, Zeng Yufen and her son sent people to ambush Yuhan and me. Fortunately, we were both cautious and we weren't hurt."
Upon hearing that Zeng Yufen had actually sent someone to harm her eldest son, Han Xiao was furious and exclaimed, "That heartless woman! How dare she do such a thing! Even tigers don't eat their cubs, yet she's trying to harm her own son. She's utterly devoid of conscience!"
It seems she's willing to do anything for her second son. Hmph, I won't let her have her way.
Han Yixian was silent for a moment before saying, "Dad, I have something important to tell you, but it's not convenient to say it over the phone. When do you have time? I'd like to see you."
Han Xiao was happy to hear that his eldest son wanted to see him, and was also curious about what important thing his eldest son had to tell him.
He considered his schedule and said, "How about tonight? Where shall we meet?"
Han Yixian said, "Do you remember the new house I prepared for Yuhan and me when I came back from Luancheng? I live here now. Come here tonight. It's not appropriate for me to show my face in public right now."
Han Xiao said, "Okay, I'll go over tonight."
The father and son hung up the phone after agreeing on a time.
Han Xiao then picked up the phone and sent someone to secretly search for He Yuhan's whereabouts.
He Yuhan is, after all, his future daughter-in-law. His son is so worried about her. What if something happens to his future daughter-in-law? He doesn't want his eldest son to go back to his half-dead state.
He Yuhan's arrival stirred up the undercurrents of events in Kyoto.
Those who arrested He Yuhan still believed that Han Yixian wouldn't know their whereabouts, showing no sense of crisis whatsoever.
Little did they know that He Yuhan had already informed Han Yixian of their whereabouts in Kyoto. Many powerful forces in Kyoto were already searching for them.
The three men who arrested He Yuhan stayed in the farmhouse courtyard for a day. At night, two of them drove away, leaving one man to guard He Yuhan.
He Yuhan guessed from their conversation that the two people who left had gone to report to their superiors so they would know how they would arrange things for her next.
He Yuhan lay on the bed in the room. Because it was just after the New Year, the weather was still very cold. Even though there was a charcoal brazier in the room, it was still very cold.
He Yu felt icy cold all over, wrapped in a not-so-thick quilt, and shivered uncontrollably. She had no choice but to take out two hand warmers from her spatial storage to alleviate her shivering predicament.
She hugged a hand warmer to keep warm while wondering if Han Yixian had found the note she left behind, or if he had come to Kyoto to look for her.
I don't know how worried my parents will be if they find out I'm in trouble.
Even if Han Yixian hadn't discovered the note and hadn't come to her rescue, she could have escaped on her own. She just wanted to see if she could make any new discoveries later.
These people dared to kidnap her; she'll teach them a lesson they won't forget and make them pay the price.
It was past nine o'clock at night when Han Xiao was dropped off at Han Yixian's place. After Han Yixian opened the door, Han Xiao let the car that brought him leave, promising to come back to pick him up the next day.
Han Yixian led his father into the living room.
This was Han Xiao's first time visiting the wedding room his eldest son had prepared. He glanced around and said, "Why is this place so empty? Where are the things you prepared?"
Han Yixian, with dark circles under his eyes and a haggard expression, sighed and said, "When Yuhan had her accident, this place wasn't fully prepared yet. After Yuhan's accident, I lost the mood to decorate it anymore, so it's still only half-finished as it was back then."
Looking at his eldest son's haggard and bitter expression, Han Xiao wondered why his son's love life was so unlucky. He finally met someone he liked, but things always went wrong.
He sighed and said, "You're both engaged, but I haven't even met my future daughter-in-law yet. Last time she came to Kyoto, she was tricked into coming. This time, she was kidnapped. I doubt she'll ever want to come to Kyoto again."
I've already sent people to secretly search for Yuhan's whereabouts. As long as she's in Kyoto, we should have news soon.
Han Yi nodded and said, "I have already arranged for my men to search for him."
Han Xiao frowned and asked, "Is it really true that the people who kidnapped He Yuhan have nothing to do with Zeng Yufen and the others?"
Han Yixian nodded with a cold and heavy look in his eyes and said, "It seems to be unrelated to them at the moment. It should be the work of another group of people we don't know."
I've been thinking about this the whole way to Kyoto. We were ambushed before the New Year, so we focused all our attention on that group, unaware that another group was watching Yuhan. So far, I haven't received any calls threatening me using Yuhan, which means this group is after Yuhan.
Han Xiao asked, puzzled, "What is it about He Yuhan that would make others covet her, to the point of kidnapping her?"
Han Yixian said, "Yuhan's current value is immeasurable. Some time ago, she designed a new product for the Shuguang Tractor Factory in City C. This product has not only received high praise in China, but many foreign countries are also very optimistic about it and have placed orders."
Shuguang Tractor Factory suddenly became a shining star and gained great fame. They were also able to generate foreign exchange for the country.
Their products are popular in some foreign countries, which inevitably squeezes out products from other countries. For example, our rival countries like R and R. They've always boasted that their products are the best, and they certainly won't accept being squeezed out by us.
Moreover, Yuhan recently designed an excavator for Shuguang Tractor Factory.
Our country had never independently produced such large-scale engineering machinery before. Therefore, this was not only important to Shuguang Tractor Factory, but also to our country.
Yuhan was kidnapped at the Shuguang Tractor Factory while helping them resolve difficulties they encountered in researching excavator design blueprints.
Han Yixian explained the possible reasons why this might be related to He Yuhan's kidnapping.
Han Xiao was surprised that his future daughter-in-law was so capable. He felt proud and admired his son's good taste.
He said, "You mean Yuhan was very likely abducted by foreign forces?"
Han Yixian nodded and said, "I think this is the most likely possibility. No matter who believes it, the truth will soon come to light."
Han Xiao nodded and said, "We've sent out so many people, I believe we'll have news soon. Kyoto is our territory, it's not easy for a living person to hide."
You said you had something important to tell me, is there anything else?
