In Hua Hai City, when Ye Fan was at Tantai Wanrong's house, he could rely on Qin Mengyao to help calm this mature and passionate beauty down. But now, in the Four Nine City, after Tantai Wanrong's brush with life and death, Ye Fan found it much harder to soothe her turbulent emotions.

"Aunt Wanrong, this is not the right place, there are still..."

Tantai Wanrong didn't give Ye Fan a chance to speak. Her red lips had already pressed against him, directly kissing Ye Fan's mouth, conveying in the most direct way her deep affection, rather than a momentary impulse.

But Ye Fan decisively pushed Tantai Wanrong away, as he needed to remain calm with the danger still looming.

"Aunt Wanrong, let's talk after we get out of here."

Ye Fan held Tantai Wanrong in his arms, while she continuously kissed his face, his hair, even his earlobes and neck. Ye Fan didn't pay her any heed, as he carried her straight out the window, the glass evaporated by the Pure Yang Spiritual Energy of his body. As they soared into the air, sirens blared below.

It was only after more than ten minutes following the air raid and kidnapping that the police arrived at the hotel, guided by signals sent out by a security guard who hadn't been killed.

Besides Tantai Wanrong, the hotel housed two other officials from the provinces visiting Four Nine City. This kidnapping case would inevitably impact the reputation of Hua Xia, so the police had to handle it discreetly.

With the police present, Ye Fan couldn't just whisk Tantai Wanrong away to another place, but instead took her to a dark room downstairs.

As soon as he set Tantai Wanrong down, her body entwined with his, leaving Ye Fan helpless.

"Aunt Wanrong, the police are here, we need to go out," Ye Fan said.

"I don't care, Xiaofan... Do you hate Aunt Wanrong? Do you think I'm less reserved than Zhaojun and Min Shang, and that's why you despise me?" Tantai Wanrong continued to hold Ye Fan, even pulling Ye Fan's hand to her chest, making him feel her heartbeat. "Xiaofan, I'm not as beautiful and understanding as Zhaojun, nor as pure and sweet as Min Shang and Lu Xiaoman. I'm not as accommodating as Han Qing'er either, but I like you... Xiaofan, take me!"

Such heartfelt words could truly stir one's heart. Ye Fan was moved, but he didn't want to hurt Tantai Wanrong.

"Aunt Wanrong, please sit down first. Before the police arrive, I need to suppress the chaotic Spiritual Energy inside you!" Ye Fan quickly sealed several of Tantai Wanrong's acupoints, stopping her from making any further advancements. He didn't want to do this, but knew that if Tantai Wanrong approached him again, even he might not resist this strong-willed woman he admired.

Ye Fan closed his eyes, trying not to think about Tantai Wanrong's allure and charm, maintaining a peaceful state of mind. He said, "Aunt Wanrong doesn't need to do anything, I can help guide you."

As he spoke, Ye Fan infused Spiritual Energy into Tantai Wanrong's eight extraordinary meridians. She felt a dominant energy envelop her, as if she were a small boat amidst a raging sea, only able to be guided by Ye Fan. If she could unlock her acupoints, she would unhesitatingly give herself to Ye Fan.

In the end, tears streamed down her face, filled with guilt towards Ye Fan, along with love and obsession. Yet, Ye Fan remained so "insensitive," leaving her with only thoughts but unable to arouse his sympathy, or to truly possess her.

...

...

About five minutes later, Ye Fan sensed armed military police coming upstairs, searching each room for any remaining assassins and kidnappers.

"Aunt Wanrong, in less than half a minute, your acupoints will release. I'm leaving now, but I'll be protecting you nearby, so you don't need to worry."

Ye Fan didn't want to meet the police, as explaining would be difficult. This was Four Nine City, not westward cities like Jingzhao City, where in cases of terrorist activities, a thorough investigation of all involved was mandatory.

After saying this, Ye Fan swiftly exited through the window, failing to notice Tantai Wanrong's tears.

"Xiaofan, is it because I'm not good enough that you keep rejecting me? Where am I inferior to Zhaojun and Lu Xiaoman?" Tantai Wanrong felt some bitterness towards Ye Fan, driven by love.

By then, her body had recovered somewhat, and armed military police burst into the room, aiming their guns at her.

"I am the Deputy Mayor of Hua Hai City. The assailants are not here; I was hiding in this place!" Tantai Wanrong declared her identity.

The military police approached cautiously, checking Tantai Wanrong's condition before escorting her out of the room, not using the elevator but the stairs. Tantai Wanrong longed to sense Ye Fan's presence, knowing he was guarding her, yet unable to track him down.

Ye Fan, equally conflicted, used his Spiritual Sense to follow Tantai Wanrong's steps as she descended the stairs, remaining vigilant against any potential danger. He couldn't let anything happen to her.

Upon reaching the ground floor, officers from the National Security Bureau were already present. One of them said, "Deputy Mayor Tantai, we will escort you to a safe location, ensuring you won't be attacked by the assailants!"

Tantai Wanrong retorted indignantly, "Why didn't you act sooner?"

The National Security officer was bewildered, aware of the rank distinction between local officials and central ones, yet understood Tantai Wanrong's brief grievance after the assault she had endured.

He said nothing, personally opening the car door for her.

A convoy escorted Tantai Wanrong and another surviving administrative officer away from the hotel, heading to a secret base of the National Security Bureau. Ye Fan followed the convoy from 20,000 meters high, finally relaxing once he ensured Tantai Wanrong's safety late into the night.

He still couldn't communicate with Tantai Wanrong, knowing she likely resented him.

"Aunt Wanrong, don't blame me..." Ye Fan sent a secret message to Tantai Wanrong, reaching her ears, "I'm leaving first. We'll meet again when you return to Hua Hai City."

Tantai Wanrong had been seated when she heard the message, instantly standing up, startling her female guard. "Deputy Mayor Tantai, is there something wrong?"

"No... nothing."

Tantai Wanrong, frustrated, stamped her foot. She didn't know how to send a secret message back to Ye Fan, and knowing he was leaving, couldn't even bid him goodbye. Her phone had been left at the hotel, and this location was a signal-blocked zone, making it impossible to call Ye Fan.

"Xiaofan, you're so heartless; better not see each other again!" Tantai Wanrong declared through gritted teeth, still unwilling to concede to Li Zhaojun and Lu Xiaoman.
