After a deep kiss.
Lin Lang gently raised his right hand to wipe away the tears from Chu Yiren's eyes, and said with feigned affection, "From now on, I will protect you. Even if it costs my life, I won't let anything happen to you, Yiren."
"You already saved me unharmed from the WU343 International Flight, from the hands of death. It's a pity Zhou Weihao wasn't so lucky," Chu Yiren sighed with emotion.
Lin Lang shrugged and said, "He didn't believe in fate, so there was nothing I could do."
"If he had also respected death and heard me say the plane would crash, then he could have just changed his ticket to the next flight to Sakura Country, right?!"
"Anyway, if it were me, and someone told me this bus would crash and people would die, I would definitely take the next bus. After all, it's better to believe it than not to~"
Chu Yiren said after hearing this, "That's right!"
"Life is only once. Zhou Weihao gambled with you and boarded the death flight, losing his life in the fire, all because of his personality, which loved to antagonize and fight with people."
"Character determines destiny. His current outcome is not surprising."
Lin Lang said, "Yiren said that when the sky is arrogant, there will be rain, and when a person is arrogant, there will be disaster. Zhou Weihao was destined for this calamity, and dying in the fire was his fate."
Before they could talk further, Chu Yiren's phone rang urgently.
The caller ID showed her elder brother, Chu Tiannan. There was no need to guess; it must have been someone from the Chu Family who saw the news brief about the WU343 International Flight crash.
"A Lang, I'll take this call and let my family know I'm safe."
Lin Lang smiled and replied with one word, "Okay!"
Chu Yiren moved aside and answered her phone, greeting, "Hello~ Brother!"
Chu Tiannan, on the other end of the line, choked with great sadness, "Yiren! Is that Yiren?"
"Is that you, little sister?"
"It's me, Brother, I'm fine!"
"Woo woo woo..." Chu Tiannan cried uncontrollably during the call.
"Yiren, it's really great that you're okay!"
"When I saw the news about the WU343 International Flight crash, I thought you had also suffered misfortune in the air disaster. It's really great to hear you're okay!"
"Woo woo..."
Chu Yiren replied during the call, "Because of Lin Lang's intervention, I didn't board the death flight, so I escaped the fatal calamity. I'm at Hongqiao Airport now, Brother, don't worry."
"Woo woo woo..."
Chu Tiannan's choked sobs continued to come from the receiver.
His choked sobs were even the kind of uncontrollable, deeply sorrowful crying.
Chu Yiren asked, puzzled, "Brother, I've already told you I'm safe, why are you still crying?"
Chu Tiannan cried back during the call, "Yiren, you need to be mentally prepared, Father he..."
Chu Yiren's heart jumped when she heard this, and she asked urgently, "What happened to Father?"
On the call, there was still Chu Tiannan's crying, the kind of crying where he was pounding his chest and stamping his feet, no longer holding back, beginning to cry heartbreakingly.
Chu Yiren's face instantly changed, and she asked tentatively with a premonition of ill omen, "Brother, nothing happened to our Father, did it?"
Gu Keqing took her husband Chu Tiannan's phone and replied during the call, "Yiren, your brother is overcome with grief and is now sobbing too much to speak. He's cried himself speechless."
"I'm afraid! Your sister-in-law has some bad news to tell you."
"When Father was watching the evening 'Shanghai News' at home, he saw the news brief about the WU343 International Flight you were supposed to be on, crashing shortly after takeoff. He mistakenly thought you had died in the air disaster and suffered a heart attack from the pain of losing his beloved daughter."
Chu Yiren looked worried after hearing this, her hand holding the phone trembling, and she asked with concern, "Is Father alright now?"
"Which hospital is he being rescued at now? I'll go there immediately?!"
Gu Keqing replied with a heavy tone, "Father was in the emergency room of Shanghai Sixth People's Hospital. He has already been declared dead after failed resuscitation efforts. Yiren, you must accept this and move on!"
"Crash..." Chu Yiren's phone dropped to the ground.
Overwhelmed with grief, Chu Yiren's legs went weak, and she almost collapsed to the ground but was caught by Lin Lang.
"What's wrong, Yiren?"
"Did something happen?"
Chu Yiren leaned on Lin Lang's shoulder and cried from the pain of losing her father, sobbing, "Woo woo..."
"The person who loved me the most in the world, my father, has passed away!"
"Woo woo woo..."
"My father saw the news about the WU343 International Flight air disaster on TV and mistakenly thought I was on the death flight. He had a sudden heart attack and passed away after resuscitation failed."
"Woo woo..."
Lin Lang hugged Chu Yiren with a heavy heart, gently stroking her shoulder, and comforted her, "I am very sorry for your esteemed father's unexpected passing!"
"Yiren, if you want to cry, don't hold it in. Just cry out loud!"
Chu Yiren sniffled, wiped away a tear, and sobbed, "I want to go to Shanghai Sixth People's Hospital. I want to see my father, woo woo..."
Chu Yiren cried and ran out of the airport.
Lin Lang picked up Chu Yiren's phone that had fallen to the ground and followed closely behind her.
In the taxi on the way to the hospital.
Lin Lang stayed by Chu Yiren's side, taking care of her, who was just experiencing the heartbreaking pain of losing her father.
At this moment, Lin Lang knew that no matter how many words of comfort he said, it would be useless, so he silently accompanied and guarded her, saying nothing more.
Chu Yiren leaned in Lin Lang's arms, tears falling in pairs, already a tear-stained mess. Her pitiful appearance made Lin Lang feel extremely heartbroken.
Lin Lang wanted to say something several times but ultimately said nothing.
Lin Lang was an orphan. He had experienced the pain and sadness of his parents' unexpected passing. This kind of grief could only be slowly healed by time. No matter how many comforting words outsiders spoke, it would be futile.
Soon, Lin Lang accompanied Chu Yiren to the Shanghai Sixth People's Hospital. Outside the emergency building, dozens of Chu Group's senior executives had already gathered.
"Our deepest condolences, Miss!"
"Our deepest condolences, Miss..."
Dozens of Chu Group's senior executives, upon seeing Chu Yiren, bowed respectfully, as the person they were saluting was the new Chairman of Chu Group.
As previously stated.
The Chu Family historically did not have female offspring. The tycoon's daughter, Chu Yiren, was the only young lady recorded in the Chu Family's genealogy within ten generations. She was regarded as the apple of her tycoon father Chu Jincheng's eye, and from childhood, if she wanted a star, he wouldn't dare give her the moon.
Even the daughter-doting tycoon father, Chu Jincheng, had long since made a controversial will.
The inheritance ratio for the Chu siblings was 7:3, with the younger sister Chu Yiren receiving 70% and the elder brother Chu Tiannan receiving 30%.
After the tycoon father Chu Jincheng's death, his daughter Chu Yiren would legally inherit 70% of Chu Group's shares and 70% of Chu Family Consortium's assets (including all overseas assets), becoming the de facto boss of Chu Group.
Now, with the unexpected death of Chu Group's Chairman Chu Jincheng, the will immediately took effect. After Chu Yiren inherits 70% of Chu Family Consortium's assets, she will become the youngest trillionaire female tycoon in the history of Xia Country.
Lin Lang supported the tear-blurred Chu Yiren as she walked with heavy steps into the emergency department building.

The senior executives of Chu Group couldn't help but whisper among themselves when they saw Lin Lang and Chu Yiren walking intimately together.
"Miss is truly resilient!"
"Miss had originally booked a ticket for a business trip to Sakura Country, but for some unknown reason, she didn't board the plane that crashed, thus escaping a fatal calamity."
"That's right!"
"Miss was lucky and escaped the plane crash, but the Chairman, after seeing the news of the air disaster on TV, mistakenly thought Miss had died in the crash and suffered a sudden heart attack on the spot."
"The Chairman was a daughter-doter; he spoiled Miss too much from childhood!"
"Alas~"
"I never expected the Chairman to pass away so unexpectedly in this manner. What a tragic fate!"
"The Chairman had previously made a will stating that after his death, 70% of the group's shares would go to Miss, and Miss would succeed him as the group's chairman. A new emperor brings new officials. Whether we, the Old Chairman's confidants, can gain Miss's trust is an unknown!"
"So it's not just me who's worried about my career. It seems you all are unsure too?!"
"Miss has a unique personality. She's always cold and has a poker face. She's strong-willed and her work style is tough. She's not as easy to talk to as the Old Chairman."
"While the Old Chairman was alive, he would consider old friendships with us old subordinates. With Miss taking charge of Chu Group, it seems the company's senior management is in for a major reshuffle."
"I never thought Miss, at just 26 years old, would begin to wield the immense power of Chu Family Consortium."
"I heard the group's public relations department has already drafted an obituary and will announce the Chairman's death tomorrow morning, and according to the Chairman's previous will, officially announce Miss as the Chairman of Chu Group."
"When the Chairman initially made his will, it was quite controversial. If Miss inherits the majority of the family fortune, won't that mean handing over a hundred billion fortune to an outsider?"
"Exactly!"
"Although Miss's surname is Chu, she will eventually marry. Whoever marries Miss, then the vast fortune of Chu Family Consortium might truly change hands."
"Whoever marries Miss will be marrying a gold mine that cannot be spent in several lifetimes!"
"The young man with Miss just now, why haven't I seen him before?"
"That's right!"
"Could a man who accompanies Miss so intimately be her boyfriend?"
"I haven't heard that Miss ever had a boyfriend?!"
"That young man just now was constantly holding Miss's shoulder, and Miss was leaning sadly in his arms. I've never seen a man so intimately accompanying Miss."
"In that case, this person really is Miss's boyfriend!"
"Miss's boyfriend looks like a pretty boy. Men who are too handsome can't be trusted. Could he be after her money and looks?"
"A man who can capture Miss's heart must be more than just handsome."
"This pretty boy looks harmless, but he might actually be more cunning and calculating than Miss."
"It seems the Chu Family Consortium's hundred billion fortune might truly be handed over to someone else..."
