Special Agent’s Rebirth: The Almighty Goddess of Quick Transmigration - Chapter 260

“President Xu, what brings you here?” Mr. Ye was about to call Ye Shaohua for dinner when he unexpectedly saw the Xu family arrive.

Ye Shaohua, who had been sitting on the sofa all afternoon, stood up and politely greeted them.

Unlike usual, Mr. and Mrs. Xu didn’t respond warmly. In the past, they had treated her like a future daughter-in-law, even encouraging their son to pursue her.

But now, their gazes were cold and guarded.

Especially Xu Qi—he could still vividly remember the pain of being torn apart by zombies in his past life.

“President Ye, I came to transfer all my shares to you,” Mr. Xu said, sliding a prepared contract across the table. “Just give us twenty million, and they’re yours.”

The shares were worth far more than that, but if what his son predicted came true, they’d soon be worthless scraps of paper. Better to cash out now and stockpile supplies while they still could.

“Wait, why are you selling your shares?” Mr. Ye frowned, immediately refusing. “And at such a low price? I can’t accept this.”

“We’re dealing with some… family matters,” Mr. Xu said smoothly. “You’re the only one we trust to handle this. Have your lawyers review the documents if you’d like.”

He’d deliberately set the price at twenty million—the maximum liquid funds he estimated the Ye family could spare.

“What kind of trouble forces you to sell shares?” Mr. Ye wasn’t one to exploit others’ misfortunes. “We’ve been friends for years. If you need money, I’ll lend it to you. No need for this.”

The Ye family was wealthy, but most of their assets were tied up in property and stocks. Twenty million was the most Mr. Ye could scrape together on short notice.

As he called his secretary to arrange the transfer, he proudly gestured to Ye Shaohua. “She just got into a top research lab—extremely competitive, you know.”

“You’ve raised an impressive daughter,” the Xus replied with stiff smiles.

Assuming their tension was due to their family crisis, Mr. Ye nodded warmly. “Of course. But your son is outstanding too—”

Xu Qi lowered his eyes, masking his disdain.

An impressive daughter? If only you knew your ‘impressive daughter’ is the one who’ll let zombies overrun the safe zone and get you both killed.

After a few more hollow pleasantries, the Xus hurried off with the money.

They hadn’t breathed a word about the impending apocalypse. Why risk the Ye family freeloading off their preparations?

The day before doomsday, Ye Xiangxiang returned and whisked Mr. and Mrs. Ye away.

Ye Shaohua didn’t stop them. She simply played dumb.

She’d never experienced an apocalypse before—but she had survived worlds far deadlier than this.

…..

When the end came, the sun vanished from the sky.

Everyone collapsed into comas. Some awoke with supernatural abilities. Others never woke at all, their bodies twisting into grotesque husks. Most remained unchanged.

The longer one slept, the stronger their awakened power would be.

By the time Ye Shaohua opened her eyes, the Ye family villa had been commandeered by strangers.

“You’re awake?” A boyish voice chirped. “Feel anything… different?”

Flexing her fingers, Ye Shaohua studied the round-faced teen. “No. Wait—why are you in my house?”

His excitement withered instantly. “Are you sure? Nothing at all?”

It made no sense. If Xiangxiang was so powerful, how could her cousin be this weak?

“Should I be different?” Ye Shaohua arched a brow as she stood.

Xiangxiang wasn’t here—probably out scavenging. Through the window, streaks of blood stained the pavement. The stench of decay hung thick in the air, a miasma of despair.

Soon, Xiangxiang’s group returned.

“Captain, the cousin’s awake,” the baby-faced boy reported to a tall, stern man. “But…” He hesitated. “She’s a normie.”

“A normie?” Su Ran’s gaze swept over Ye Shaohua. Two days into the apocalypse, his team bore the grime and gashes of constant combat. Yet she stood pristine, her eyes unsettlingly clear.

He cleared his throat. “We’ve got other norms in the group. If she’s Xiangxiang’s family, we’ll take her.”

“Gu Yuan, go treat the injured,” Su Ran added—only to find the medic staring fixedly at Ye Shaohua. “Gu Yuan? Gu Yuan!“

After several calls, Gu Yuan finally turned, his expression unreadable.

Then it twisted into something bitter.

“Captain, our norms pull their weight. What use is her kind?” He jabbed a finger at Ye Shaohua. “A spoiled rich girl who’s never worked a day in her life. You really think the team will agree to deadweight?”

The chatter in the villa died as all eyes locked onto Ye Shaohua.

She flexed her fingers again.

Ah. The third reincarnator—A University’s heartthrob, Gu Yuan.

Some followed Su Ran’s lead and stayed silent. But the students who’d fled with Gu Yuan and Xiangxiang scowled.

Several were norms themselves. Protecting them already strained resources. Adding a helpless princess meant less to go around—and more danger for everyone.
