Special Agent’s Rebirth: The Almighty Goddess of Quick Transmigration - Chapter 281

The three elderly neighbors weren’t speaking loudly, but Ye Shaohua’s senses were now far sharper than an ordinary person’s. She heard every single word clearly.

With a slight shake of her head, she thought to herself—Looks like the original host of this body didn’t have a great life either.

As she turned on the stove, she took in the state of the apartment.

The neighborhood was clearly an old one. The apartment itself was no more than 90 square meters, and the furnishings were all worn-out.

[Receive the plot?] 008’s voice chimed in.

Ye Shaohua gave a faint nod.

The moment she did, her mind was instantly flooded with a massive influx of information.

Indeed, the original host in this storyline wasn’t exactly outstanding.

This mission world was a bit more complicated than usual.

The original host was the daughter of an ordinary family, and her life had been fairly unremarkable—until her fourth year of university, when her boyfriend cheated on her.

The other woman was the department’s beauty queen, the daughter of the CEO of Starry Sky Group, where her boyfriend was about to start an internship.

To make matters worse, the original host’s guaranteed spot for postgraduate studies was taken by a relative of the department head.

Crushed by reality before even stepping into society, the original host fell into depression. After graduating, she didn’t look for a job and simply stayed at home.

Her parents, Ye Cheng and Du Man, doted on their younger daughter and wanted to find a good match for her. Granny Li had introduced several candidates, but none were satisfactory.

Then, an old comrade of Ye Cheng’s resurfaced. Ye Cheng had once served in the military but retired after an injury and lost contact with his former brothers-in-arms.

This old comrade, now a high-ranking military officer, had once owed his life to Ye Cheng. After finally tracking him down, he wanted to repay the debt—by proposing a marriage alliance with the prestigious Jin Ding family.

Ye Cheng hoped to arrange for the original host to marry into the family. Unfortunately, after over a year of wallowing in misery, she had become unkempt and unpleasant to be around. The military family, being a distinguished lineage of warriors, found her wholly unsuitable—after all, their daughter-in-law ought to at least know how to handle a gun.

The marriage arrangement should have ended there.

But then, the original host’s older sister, Ye Sinian, made her entrance.

Skilled in archery, combat, and firearms—surpassing even the old comrade’s son—she left everyone stunned.

The old comrade exclaimed, “Ye Cheng, you’ve been hiding such an outstanding daughter all along?”

Ye Sinian successfully married into the military family and shone brilliantly.

Meanwhile, the remaining three members of the Ye family were inexplicably slaughtered by underworld figures.

The neighbors, after expressing their sympathies, quietly agreed it was a good thing Ye Sinian hadn’t been home that day.

Because the truth was—Ye Sinian wasn’t the real Ye Sinian at all.

She was a secret agent who had transmigrated into Ye Sinian’s body.

After taking over Ye Sinian’s life, the agent deemed Ye Cheng and his wife too biased toward their younger daughter and decided to punish them.

In her new life, Ye Sinian provoked enemies from her past. Collaborating with the military family, she set a trap for an arms dealer—using the Ye family’s home as a base of operations.

But Ye Cheng and the others, being ordinary civilians, knew nothing about it.

When the operation neared its climax, the three of them were killed by the vengeful arms dealer’s men.

They died unjustly.

The police didn’t even investigate thoroughly—no culprits were ever caught.

The neighbors whispered that the tragedy had been brought upon by Ye Shaohua, the spoiled, jobless leech.

[This mission has two objectives: First, ensure Ye Cheng and Du Man aren’t dragged into Ye Sinian’s schemes and killed. Second, the original host wishes to achieve something remarkable in her life—she doesn’t want her parents to be looked down upon because of her.]

After digesting the plot, Ye Shaohua finished her meal and headed to the bathroom to clean up.

The original host was practically a wreck.

Her hair was dry and brittle, her clothes reeked of sweat, and her face was deathly pale behind oversized black-framed glasses that covered half her features.

In short—she was the epitome of a shut-in. No wonder the neighbors disliked her.

Honestly, Ye Shaohua had never lived like this before.

She didn’t know how it felt to be dumped by a boyfriend or have a postgraduate opportunity stolen by nepotism. But holing up at home wasn’t the solution.

Her gaze drifted to the original host’s computer.

From the memories, the original host had tried to make money by writing web novels—her introverted nature made socializing unbearable.

But as a physics major, her writing was stiff and uninspired. Not a single draft had passed an editor’s review.

After freshening up, Ye Shaohua still hadn’t decided what to do next.

In this world, making money would be laughably easy for her. She could code a software and sell it to a major corporation for a hefty sum—but explaining how a girl with no programming background suddenly acquired such skills would be tricky.

By the time she finished pondering, evening had fallen.

When Ye Cheng and Du Man returned with their food cart, they found Ye Shaohua washing rice and preparing dinner.

“Shaohua, let me handle this. Go back to your room and focus on your own things.” Du Man immediately took over, shooing her away.

Still, seeing their younger daughter finally stepping out of her room and helping out filled them with joy.

The truth was, this child had always been withdrawn—she didn’t speak until she was three, and everyone had assumed she was mentally challenged.

When she finally uttered her first words at four, her parents were overjoyed and had spoiled her ever since.

Even though the family wasn’t well-off, they never made their daughters do chores. Both girls were raised to focus solely on their studies.

They’d heard the neighbors’ gossip but paid it no mind.

Having endured hardship themselves, they refused to let their daughters suffer the same.

Just as the couple marveled at their younger daughter’s newfound maturity, the front door was suddenly pounded with heavy knocks.

Du Man stayed to cook while Ye Cheng untied his apron and went to answer.

“Sinian? Why are you home today?” Ye Cheng was taken aback at the sight of his eldest daughter standing outside, her entire demeanor icy.

Hadn’t she been working on an important lab project at school? They’d even planned to visit her this Friday.

Hearing the commotion, Ye Shaohua leaned against her doorframe and watched Ye Sinian with quiet interest.
