"Alright, protecting Miss Lin is definitely not a problem for me. I will definitely assign more people and keep Miss Lin by my side. You can rest assured about that. Additionally, is there anything else you need me to do?"

"For now, there's no need. I should be able to handle everything on my own. If there are no issues, take Yaru and hurry to find a safe route. If anything comes up, I'll contact you in time."

"What, are you leaving now?"

"We can't afford to waste even a minute. Delaying just one minute is a severe test for us. By the way, Old Man, is there a car? I need a car right now."

"Alright, no problem, as for the car."

As he spoke, Guo Tao just glanced back, and soon, an assistant came over and placed a set of car keys into Guo Tao's hand.

"You can take the car and use it as you please. If you need anything else, feel free to call me."

"By the way, Old Man, how's everything on the company side right now?"

Even though Ye Chen had shouldered such a huge task now, he still hadn't forgotten about Guo Hongyu's affairs.

"Rest assured, the company is running smoothly now, and we're gradually getting back on track. Even without my supervision, there shouldn't be any problems. So focus on getting this matter resolved; that's the most important thing right now."

"Alright, I understand, Old Man. Thank you for your understanding."

With that, he walked over to Lin Yaru.

After all, the matters that followed were very important to him, so he couldn't let Lin Yaru appear in front of him again at this time.

"Are you really going now? And why can't I be with you?"

"If you follow me, you'll become too big of a target. So not now, and these matters are meant to be handled covertly. It's not convenient for you to show up right now."

"Can you handle them when the time comes? These people are really terrifying."

"Don't worry, I'll get in touch with your grandfather when the time comes. I believe he should be able to provide some additional help. However, I won't resort to that unless absolutely necessary, because once we get him involved, things will get even more complicated."

"Please be careful, Ye Chen. I'm really troubling you."

Lin Yaru really felt at a loss for words, and no matter how much she wanted to say, it could only be summarized in one sentence: these people could never reciprocate the enormous kindness bestowed upon them.

Ye Chen nodded lightly, then greeted the Old Man before quickly leaving with Anying.

"Where are we going now?"

"Do you remember the location where we previously spotted those people?"

"Yes, wasn't it at the café across from the hospital? But now that Miss Lin has been away for two days, would they still be there watching?"

"They might not be here for now, but they will show up eventually. For now, we have no better place to go. The only thing we can do is to wait here. I believe he will show up soon."

"How can you be sure that they will return?"

"Since those people have already started taking action, and they know there's a good chance of resolving the issue with Lin Yaru this time, she will eventually return here. Once she's back, those people will definitely experience something."

"Alright, it seems we have no better choice now. For now, we can only wait there, hoping to get a definitive answer soon."

"Also, once we catch them, I'm not sure if they will cooperate with us. People with professional training like them are usually tight-lipped."

"Yes, I wanted to tell you before that they really are tight-lipped. So once we catch them, we must take several precautions."

"Oh, precautions? Against what? Do we even need to prevent them from committing suicide?"

"People like them may find suicide as their only way out if the mission fails, because they can't get caught and be tortured into revealing their team."

"So how do we guard against this?"

"Rest assured, I'll help you deal with this issue, but first, we need to keep this person within a controllable range. That's the only way I can manage it."

"Alright, no problem."

As they spoke, Ye Chen nodded. Although he didn't have much experience dealing with such people, he could easily resort to violence if necessary, and that wouldn't be an issue.

However, when facing these professionals, he might need Anying's help.

After driving for a while, the car came to a steady stop behind the hospital.

"There's a parking lot over there. To avoid exposing our target, let's park the car there, and then walk over."

"Do you think they'll recognize the two of us?"

"Rest assured, if they really are monitoring Lin Yaru, they definitely know everyone who appears around her very well. Naturally, they should be familiar with us too."

"If they're familiar, would our sudden appearance alert or scare them off?"

"At this point, do you think these things really matter anymore? Besides, they won't focus their attention on the two of us."

"But wouldn't they find it strange that we appear here without seeing Miss Lin?"

"Yes, if they're puzzled, that's all the better. Anyway, their target is Lin Yaru, and our real target is them, so our objectives are completely different."

"Alright, then I guess that's just how it is now."

"We've been at it all night, and we didn't have a proper meal last night. Luckily, there's a breakfast place across from the hospital. We can grab something to eat while observing our surroundings."

Anying nodded.

Being on the island made it hard to eat, but now that they've left the island, she feels she can finally fill her stomach for the time being.

The two of them went to a breakfast place, ordered a basket of soup dumplings, and two bowls of porridge, and started eating there.

As they ate, Ye Chen would occasionally glance in the direction of the café, but it was indeed strange today—not a single person appeared.

Could it be that these people haven't received any news since I left the island?

Normally, once they received the news, they should have arrived at the hospital immediately and started monitoring Lin Yaru.

It's unlikely they would monitor her at home now, as that place is completely vacant.

Moreover, even if these people are incredibly daring, they would know better than to mess with Guo Tao.

Starting anything else at this point is something they would definitely want to avoid.
