Lin Fan raised his hand and gently wiped away the tears on her cheeks, shook his head, and gave her a reassuring smile.
"I'm fine, Yu Yan, don't worry, it's all over now."
The security supervisor stepped forward and whispered a reminder.
"Mr. Lin, Ms. Ye, this place is not safe to stay any longer. Please get in the car as soon as possible. We have arranged a completely safe location."
Lin Fan nodded and took Ye Yuyan's hand.
Ye Yuyan knew this wasn't the time to speak, so she nodded vigorously.
Security personnel quickly escorted the two into the black Hongqi sedan.
The convoy started and quickly drove away from the airport. Instead of heading to the Ye family mansion or back to their own residence, it headed towards an extremely secluded and absolutely secure secret hideout in Kyoto.
A black Hongqi sedan slowly drove into a heavily guarded estate on the outskirts of Kyoto in the quiet surroundings.
Far from the hustle and bustle, this place is surrounded by high walls, with hidden surveillance cameras and security personnel at the entrance and inside the estate.
The vehicle came to a stop in front of a modern-style villa.
The car door was opened from the outside by security personnel.
Lin Fan got out of the car first, then turned around and gently helped Ye Yuyan.
Her hand was still tightly gripping his, her fingertips icy cold.
Stepping inside the villa, the first feeling is one of absolute security.
The decor is understated yet luxurious, with a subtle and reassuring aromatherapy scent permeating the air.
The medical team was already waiting there and stepped forward to conduct a preliminary examination of Lin Fan.
He cooperated, but his gaze never left Ye Yuyan.
Seeing her pale face and worried look at him, he forced a reassuring smile.
Fortunately, it was just extreme fatigue and some minor skin injuries; there was no drug residue or other serious problems.
The doctor's conclusion eased Ye Yuyan's tense nerves a little.
But whenever she thought about everything he might encounter in Singapore, her heart ached as if it were being squeezed by an invisible hand.
The security chief whispered a few words, confirming that the place was absolutely safe and that all external tracking leads had been cut off.
Qihang Technology's power was fully revealed at this moment.
After the handover was completed, Falcon and the support team members disappeared silently like shadows, leaving no trace.
Lin Fan waved away the others, including the medical team.
In the spacious living room, only he and Ye Yuyan remained.
He led her to the soft sofa and sat down.
She nestled into his arms, burying her face deep in his chest, greedily inhaling his familiar scent.
It was as if only in this way could they confirm that he was real and warm.
The relief of surviving the ordeal, the ecstasy of regaining what was lost, and the lingering fear all intertwined and assaulted her senses.
Lin Fan gently patted her back, feeling her body tremble slightly.
The person in his arms was so precious, a treasure he would protect with all his might.
This experience made him realize this point even more clearly.
He lowered his head, his chin brushing against the top of her soft hair.
"Yu Yan".
His voice was slightly hoarse, yet exceptionally gentle.
Ye Yuyan didn't look up, but just gave a muffled reply, pulling her arms even tighter.
"Were you terrified?"
He asked softly.
She nodded vigorously in his arms, tears welling up uncontrollably once again, soaking his clean clothes.
"I'm so scared... I'm really so scared..."
Her voice was choked with sobs, broken and intermittent.
"I'm afraid I'll never see you again... I'm afraid something will happen to you..."
These days, she feels like every day is an eternity, every minute and every second is torture.
Lin Fan felt as if his heart had been pricked by needles, a dense, persistent pain.
He lifted her chin, making her look at him.
He gently wiped away the tears on her face with his fingertips.
"I'm sorry for making you worry."
His eyes were filled with apology and heartache.
"I'm fine now, look, I'm perfectly alright."
He took her hand and placed it on his cheek, letting her feel his body heat.
"It's really okay now, it's all over."
Ye Yuyan looked at him with teary eyes.
Looking at his tired yet still familiar face, and feeling the warmth from his palm.
It's confirmed that he has returned safely.
She suddenly leaned forward and kissed his lips.
The kiss was filled with catharsis, relief, and the preciousness of something lost and then regained.
Lin Fan was taken aback at first, then realized what she meant and responded to her gently but firmly.
As their lips met, all their fears and anxieties seemed to find solace in that moment.
The kiss lasted a long time.
They only separated slowly when both of them were somewhat out of breath.
Ye Yuyan's cheeks were flushed, and her eyes were glistening with tears, yet she still retained a hint of stubbornness.
She gazed intently at his face, as if trying to etch every detail of him into the depths of her soul.
He had lost some weight and looked unwell, but the sharpness and composure in his eyes had returned.
This put her at ease.
Looking at her tearful yet charming appearance, Lin Fan felt a surge of tenderness in his heart.
He pulled her back into his arms and held her tightly.
Only after experiencing life-or-death trials can one truly appreciate the people around them.
This kidnapping was by no means accidental.
Tang Zhong, connected with all corners of the world... He remembered this debt.
But now, all he wanted to do was hold her tight and savor this hard-won peace.
The flames of revenge burned in his heart, but at this moment, he needed to comfort his frightened lover first.
The two embraced silently, neither of them speaking.
Outside the villa, the night deepened and then slowly faded away.
The first rays of morning sunlight streamed in through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, casting warm dappled patterns on the floor.
Despite not sleeping all night, Lin Fan felt much better.
Ye Yuyan nestled beside him, her sleeping face serene.
She was exhausted after experiencing tremendous emotional turmoil and shock.
Lin Fan carefully got up without disturbing her.
He walked to the window and looked out at the meticulously maintained courtyard.
The morning light was just beginning to break, and the air was fresh.
This is an absolutely safe haven.
But a safe haven is only temporary.
Singapore's experience was like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, stirring up towering waves.
Tang Zhong's ruthlessness and madness exceeded his expectations.
The fact that we were able to escape danger this time was not only due to the strong capabilities of Qihang Security, but also to a bit of luck.
He cannot let this happen again.
We must never let Yu Yan suffer such fear and worry again.
We must recover as soon as possible, and then... fight back.
With overwhelming force, all threats were completely eliminated.
His gaze gradually became sharp and deep, like a lurking beast beginning to bare its fangs.
Ye Yuyan woke up at some point.
She didn't say anything, but quietly hugged him from behind.
I pressed my cheek against his back, feeling the warmth and strength of his body.
"What are you thinking about?"
Her voice carried the languidness of someone just waking up, yet it also revealed a hint of understanding.
Lin Fan turned around, pulled her into his arms, and kissed her forehead.
"I'm thinking about our future."
His voice was calm, yet carried an undeniable power.
Ye Yuyan raised her head and looked into his eyes.
In those deep eyes, there was weariness, heartache, but even more so, determination and tenderness.
She knew he had already started making plans.
She didn't ask any further questions.
All she needed to know was that no matter what happened in the future, she would be by his side.
"Lin Fan," she called his name softly, "let's go home."
Having gone through all of this, she longed to return to their home, a home filled with warmth and life.
Lin Fan smiled slightly and nodded.
"Okay, let's go home."
