On this day, Star Han informed Yu Ya over the phone. Yu Ya was also very happy upon hearing the news and said at the end, "Brother, I will be graduating soon too. After graduation, I'll come back to help you. I've been studying in this field for the past few years as well. But you have to remember that you promised to travel around the world with me."

"Alright, once you come back, I can take you to various places in the country to travel. When are you planning to return?" It was only then that Star Han realized that Yu Ya was indeed about to graduate. Time always passed so quickly, and it had been four years already. Thinking back to a few years ago when Yu Ya was just a young girl, it must have been tough for her to be alone overseas all these years.

He had been busy these days and hadn't gone to see her. Not seeing her for so long, he truly missed her. But it was good; she was coming back.

"I'm returning tomorrow. Everything is already prepared," Yu Ya laughed on the other end.

"Oh, so you've already prepared everything and only told me now. You're playing tricks on me, huh? Hehe. When is your flight? I'll come pick you up!" Star Han was also very happy upon hearing that Yu Ya was coming back.

"Okay, my flight is tomorrow afternoon at one o'clock. I miss you so much, brother. I really want to be by your side right away. Every night, I go to sleep here, afraid that I won't see you again."

"Why are you being so silly? You'll see me tomorrow, won't you? Don't worry, I won't let you be alone outside anymore." Star Han had an indescribable doting affection for his sister.

"Of course, in the future, we'll travel together to see the beautiful scenery, just like you used to tell me. I want to see it too."

"Of course, now I have a fashion company under my name. In the future, I can not only take you to travel but also have people make all kinds of clothes for you. Whatever style you want, I can make it happen," Star Han said.

"Okay."

................

The two of them continued chatting until midnight. Yu Ya didn't want to hang up the phone. She seemed particularly attached to Star Han that day. Finally, Star Han's eyelids couldn't stay open any longer, and he said, "Yu Ya, you're coming back tomorrow. You should rest well today. Otherwise, you won't look energetic tomorrow. Do you want me to see you looking tired? That would make me feel heartbroken."

"Okay, then, brother, see you tomorrow!"

Early the next morning, Star Han asked Yu Ling and Yu Long to tidy up the house and prepared a room specifically for Yu Ya. He rearranged her belongings from before and asked Yu Ling and Yu Long to go out and buy some clothes for her to wear when she returned.

Yu Ling and Yu Long were amazed by Star Han's actions. They were envious of Yu Ya. They had never seen Star Han so dedicated to anything before, nor had they seen him treat someone so well.

Yu Long couldn't help but ask, "Chairman, I haven't seen you put so much effort into anyone else. You treat your sister so well! I'm really envious of your sister."

"Of course, Yu Ya is my only family. If I don't treat her well, who else should I treat well? Besides, we haven't seen each other for four years, so it's only natural to make some preparations. Is there anything wrong with that?"

"Nothing! It's only natural!" Even mentioning Yu Ya's name made Yu Long's voice sound particularly gentle. What else could be said?

At noon, Star Han, Yu Ling, and Yu Long were all at the airport. Yu Ling didn't really need to come, but she couldn't resist her curiosity, so she came along.

After checking his watch for the nth time, it was almost time. Star Han asked Yu Ling, "Is everything booked at the hotel?"

"Everything is ready," she replied for the third time.

"Good."

Finally, the plane landed, and the crowd gathered at the exit. Star Han anxiously watched as each person walked out. Finally, a familiar figure appeared—it was Yu Ya. Star Han immediately called out, "Yu Ya, over here!"

Yu Ya also saw Star Han and immediately ran over, throwing herself into his arms. She murmured, "Brother, I finally see you again. I'm so happy."

"I'm happy too. You've become so beautiful over these years. You've also matured a lot."

"Brother, you're so mean. You didn't let me come back all these years. I really missed you. But now I've graduated, and my grades are excellent. I won't leave you again."

"Alright, you must be tired. I've prepared everything for you. Let's go home now." Star Han held Yu Ya's hand and was about to leave. Suddenly, he stopped and pulled Yu Ya towards Yu Long, who had been watching nearby all this time.

"Oh, this is Yu Ling and Yu Long. I told you about them on the phone." Then, turning to Yu Ling, he said, "This is Yu Ya. I'm sure you already know each other. Alright, Yu Long, go and bring the car."

Yu Long immediately went to get the car. Star Han was picking up his things, getting ready to leave, when his phone rang. Star Han said to Yu Ya, "You should get to know Yu Ling while I take this call."

The voice on the other end of the phone was unfamiliar. "Is this Star Han?"

"Yes, it's me..."

"You should take five steps forward. Something you least expect will happen." After speaking, the line went silent.

Star Han closed the phone, feeling puzzled. He took five steps forward and looked around, but there was nothing. At that moment, a gunshot rang out, and a bullet whizzed past Star Han. He turned around and saw Yu Ya slowly falling to the ground.
