Chapter 1961 Reunited

"Why don't you head in, Boss?" Lei Hao couldn't resist urging.

Yun Lintian remained silent, his gaze fixed on Lynn.

As if sensing something, Lynn turned slowly towards the window.

A wave of delight washed over Lei Hao as he called out, "Sister Lynn!"

However, his greeting was met with silence. More precisely, Lynn seemed oblivious to his presence.

"Boss?" Lei Hao turned to Yun Lintian, bewilderment etched on his face. Yun Lintian must be behind this.

"I don't know how to face her," Yun Lintian admitted softly. When Lynn turned, he'd subconsciously used his power to conceal everyone from sight.

Lynn raised an eyebrow, then turned away, her gaze settling on the coffee cup.

Lei Hao hesitated, the words catching in his throat. He roughly understood the turmoil Yun Lintian was battling within.

Suddenly, the door of the coffee shop opened, and a young woman entered. She made a beeline for Lynn's table. "Master, we need to leave. They're on their way."

Lynn's response was devoid of any reaction. Calmly stirring her coffee, she replied, "I'm tired of running."

Panic flickered across the young woman's face. "You can't give up, Master!"

Lynn smiled, her eyes meeting the young woman's. "How old are you this year, Anna?"

"Twenty-five, Master," Anna replied, confused.

"Twenty-five? That's a perfect age to start a family. Perhaps I can introduce you to a suitable man," Lynn suggested with amusement.

Anna's surprise was evident, though she quickly regained her composure. "What are you saying, Master? Let's go."

"Very well," Lynn chuckled, rising from her seat.

The two women exited the coffee shop together. As they passed Yun Lintian, Lynn spoke abruptly, "Central Park. I want to visit."

Without waiting for Anna's response, she began walking in that direction.

Anna hesitated, a sigh escaping her lips. Knowing her master's stubborn streak, she knew arguing was futile. She could only chase after her.

"Central Park?" Lei Hao murmured, glancing at Yun Lintian. If his memory served him right, that was where Yun Lintian and Lynn had first encountered each other.

Yun Lintian said nothing, but a silent resolve bloomed within him as he followed in their wake.

Nantian Fengyu approached, brandishing her new iPhone with a frown. "Junior brother, look. My phone is dead already,"

Lei Hao raised an eyebrow. "You need to charge the battery, Sister Nantian."

Nantian Fengyu furrowed her brow further. "Charging battery? How?"

Yun Lintian glanced at them and said, "Ah'Hao, take care of her."

Lei Hao nodded. "Follow me, Sister Nantian," he offered, leading the way to the coffee shop.

"Oh." Nantian Fengyu nodded.

Yun Lintian followed Lynn silently, a growing sense of guilt gnawing at him. How long had she been shrouded in this despair?

A cold wind whipped through Lynn's short blonde hair, reddening her cheeks. Yet, she seemed numb, devoid of any emotional response. It was as if her spirit had been extinguished.

They arrived at Central Park, the very spot where their paths had first crossed.

Back then, Lynn, posing as an agent of her intelligence network, sought an audience with the legendary leader of Hidden Cloud. Yun Lintian, a mercenary at the time, was there for intel on the Hell Church. Their encounter sparked a connection that would forever bind them.

Lynn smiled wistfully at the wooden bench. "Lintian," she murmured, "would you believe it? I fell for you at first sight. Ridiculous, I thought then."

A lifetime of faces flashed before her, yet none sparked this yearning. Yun Lintian was the only one she wanted to see every time she woke up in the morning.

Yun Lintian trembled as her words echoed. The memory of their first meeting sharpened. Back then, his heart belonged to Xia Yao. Even if something about Lynn captivated him, he avoided her, a pattern repeated for years.

Grief choked Lynn's voice. "Now you're gone," she whispered, "why am I here? I want to avenge you, but I'm powerless. I sold everything and hired countless assassins, yet Zhu Ding kept hiding like a turtle. I don't know how long it will take to kill him."

Tears welled up in her bright blue eyes, reflecting her heartbreak. "I'm tired, Lintian. I'm tired… I just want to see you again."

Anna watched helplessly as her master crumbled. This wasn't new.

Yun Lintian squeezed his eyes shut, berating his past self. If only he'd followed his heart, everything could be different.

Opening his eyes, he stood before a tearful Lynn.

"Big Brother Yun, who's this?" Qingqing piped up curiously.

"Your sister-in-law," Yun Lintian replied with a gentle smile.

"Another one?" Qingqing pouted while Linlin eyed Lynn with hostility.

"Be nice," Yun Lintian said, patting their heads.

He took a deep breath and deactivated his invisibility.

"The Lynn Wintercrest I know wouldn't be caught crying," Yun Lintian said softly.

Lynn froze, a jolt shooting through her. A moment later, she snapped her head up, her voice trembling. "Lintian? Is that really you? Am I dreaming?"

Beside them, Anna stood rooted in shock, her eyes wide with disbelief as they fixated on Yun Lintian.

"It's me," Yun Lintian confirmed gently, wiping away the tears staining her face.

Lynn shuddered at his touch, clinging to his hand like a lifeline. "You're real! This isn't a dream!"

The warmth of his hand solidified it. This was real.

"How is this possible...?" Anna muttered, bewildered. Yun Lintian, confirmed dead multiple times, couldn't be faking it. His presence defied explanation.

Tears streamed down Lynn's face again, but they were tears of joy this time.

Lynn started to speak. "I thought you were already…'"

"It's a long story," Yun Lintian interrupted gently, "I'll tell you everything later."

"Mhm," Lynn nodded, then glanced curiously at the little girl in his arms. "Who's this adorable girl?"

"This is Qingqing," Yun Lintian explained, "and the white cat here is Linlin. They're my little sisters."

A strange expression flickered across Lynn's face as she processed the news of Yun Lintian's sisters.

Turning his attention to Anna, Yun Lintian asked, "I found the Hidden Dragon Group. Who are the other parties involved?"

Shaken from her stupor, Anna quickly replied, "The Hell Church and the CIA."

"The CIA? What's their interest here?" Yun Lintian frowned in surprise.

"I sold them some of my resources in exchange for their help," Lynn explained, "but they reneged on the deal and now want to use me to penetrate the East."

Yun Lintian chuckled humorlessly upon hearing this.

"I didn't have a choice," Lynn sighed.

"Let's get out of here first," Yun Lintian waved his hand, and they all vanished.
