Special Agent’s Rebirth: The Almighty Goddess of Quick Transmigration - Chapter 318

The Uncle Ye family moved out of the villa and used the little money they had left to rent a small apartment for a short period.

Frustrated with their own misfortunes, they desperately wanted to see the Ye Corporation face setbacks, to see it stumble.

However, when they woke up the next day, the Ye Corporation’s announcement was still up.

Uncle Ye frowned. “I know the remaining higher-ups at the Ye Corporation all too well. They’re just a bunch of incompetents. They’re just putting on a brave face.”

The three of them held out until ten o’clock when the National Bureau’s official account finally posted a notice.

“Dad, they posted the notice!” Ye Jia said excitedly.

Uncle Ye’s face, which had been gloomy for days, finally relaxed. A smile tugged at his lips as he leisurely opened the social media app and pulled up the National Bureau’s post—

[The National Bureau has officially partnered with the Ye Corporation. We are genuinely so excited to see this happen! Hearts! Hearts!]

Uncle Ye’s smile froze on his face.

“This is impossible!” The phone slipped from his hand and clattered to the floor.

Before he could even process this, several police officers knocked on the door of their newly rented home. “Mr. Ye, you are involved in a kidnapping case. Please come with us to assist in the investigation.”

The news of Uncle Ye’s bankruptcy hadn’t even fully died down before the news of him being taken away by the police instantly shot to the top of trending topics.

Especially since the victim of the kidnapping was Ye Chen of the Ye Corporation.

Even Uncle Ye’s former friends swiftly cut ties with him.

Meanwhile, twenty-three hours after being abducted, Ye Chen was finally rescued.

“Hurry up and get things ready,” Ye Chen urged the Ye Corporation executives as soon as he and Analyst Li rushed back to the company. “Contact the people from the National Bureau immediately. There might still be time…”

After they finished speaking, they noticed the executives remained silent, their expressions strange.

“What’s wrong?” Seeing their faces, Ye Chen and Analyst Li were taken aback, then their expressions changed dramatically. “Did something go wrong with the National Bureau cooperation?!”

“No, no problems at all!” the executives quickly shook their heads. “The Young Miss already resolved it.”

“What?” This statement left both Analyst Li and Ye Chen stunned for a moment. “My sister resolved it? You’re not joking, are you?”

“Here is the contract and the proposal.” The executive presented the documents.

Analyst Li immediately took them.

The contract and proposal were perfect, without a single flaw to be found.

“I always knew you were all capable,” Ye Chen said after thinking for a moment, a sudden smile appearing. “Otherwise, the analysis of the Ye Corporation’s situation you gave me before wouldn’t have been so precise.”

Hearing this, the executives looked even more puzzled. “Young Master, when did we give you an analysis of the Ye Corporation’s situation?”

Ye Chen was even more confused. He went to his office and retrieved a file he had carefully kept. “Look, right here! You had my sister bring these to me!”

The executives took a look and were equally baffled. “Young Master, we truly did not give these to the Young Miss.”

“If it wasn’t you, then who…” Ye Chen’s words trailed off as he suddenly stopped.

If it wasn’t them, then the only person left was Ye Shaohua.

Meanwhile, Analyst Li, who had been flipping through the documents Ye Shaohua had given Ye Chen, seemed lost in thought for a long while.

The group exchanged bewildered glances.

Meanwhile, Ning Yunshu was saying goodbye to Master Lin.

Master Lin greatly admired Ning Yunshu’s talent.

“Yunshu, are you sure you won’t come abroad for further studies with me?” Master Lin felt it was a pity that Ning Yunshu showed no intention of accompanying him. “It would be nice for you and Jiajia to have each other for company.”

“No, Teacher,” Ning Yunshu said as he packed away his easel, carefully washing his hands before continuing, “I have other matters to attend to.”

“Alright then,” Master Lin had no choice but to accept this. “I’ll take Jiajia with me then.”

He turned to leave.

But then he noticed a painting, carefully framed, that Ning Yunshu was holding.

It was just a casual glance, but it made him freeze.

“Yunshu, did you paint this?” he asked, his voice tinged with excitement.

Ning Yunshu was the most talented disciple he had taken on. He believed that if Ning Yunshu persisted, he would go far.

However, Ning Yunshu’s biggest shortcoming was a lack of innate spark, of ‘spirit’, in his oil paintings.

But the oil painting in Ning Yunshu’s hands, while the technique wasn’t yet as masterfully skilled as a veteran’s, possessed a remarkable, natural spirit!

With careful polishing, this person could certainly become a master of oil painting.

No wonder Master Lin was so excited.

Hearing his teacher’s question, Ning Yunshu smiled faintly. “This? I didn’t paint it. It was done by a schoolmate of mine.”

A schoolmate of Ning Yunshu’s would be from Yunshui High School, still in high school.

Master Lin said excitedly, “Do you have their contact information?”

Ning Yunshu looked at him, somewhat strangely. “Teacher, you know her.”

“I know her?” Master Lin was also puzzled. He searched his memory but couldn’t match this painting style to anyone he knew. If he had known, he would have long since tried to recruit them.

“It’s Ye Shaohua,” Ning Yunshu said with a gentle smile. “Ye Jia’s relative. You must have seen her at Ye Jia’s place. I heard she actually wanted to become your student before…”

Master Lin’s eyes widened as he finally managed to dredge up the memory of Ye Shaohua.

His memories of her were few, and most weren’t particularly positive.

His lifelong pursuit was to teach an outstanding disciple. Ning Yunshu barely met his requirements but was still lacking something.

Now, he had finally discovered such a promising seedling.

Yet, to think… it was someone he had inadvertently rejected before!

He stared at Ning Yunshu, taking a long moment to process this.

As for Ning Yunshu, watching Master Lin’s retreating figure descend the stairs, the slight smile on his face vanished instantly. He looked down at the painting in his hand, and the coldness in his expression gradually melted away.

He picked up the phone and started contacting Ye Shaohua.

Neither of them had chosen the guaranteed university admission.

He was asking her which school she planned to attend.

**

Uncle Ye was detained for half a month. Because he hadn’t actually harmed Ye Chen or Analyst Li, the police station eventually released him.

Half a month of enduring cold shoulders and mockery had twisted Uncle Ye’s mentality.

Upon returning home, he immediately started blaming his wife, criticizing everything she did.

Ye Jia sat on the other end of the sofa, eagerly anticipating the next day. Just one more day, and she could go abroad with Master Lin.

“Just look at that rabble Ye Chen gathered. Just you wait, when ‘Y’ eventually leaves, let’s see what they have left to be so arrogant about!” Uncle Ye, annoyed by the noise from the TV, grabbed the remote to turn it off but accidentally pressed the wrong button.

The channel switched to a national broadcaster, and Ye Shaohua’s face appeared on the screen.

Uncle Ye’s face darkened, and he meant to change the channel.

But at that moment, the host was just asking a question.

“Miss Ye, could you tell us how you came up with the code name ‘Y’ back then?” The host looked utterly admiring of the person he was interviewing. “Netizens are saying they’ve successfully transitioned from being fans of your tech to being fans of your looks. To be honest, before I knew it was you, I never would have imagined that ‘Y’ was not only Chinese but also so young. The future is truly promising…”

What was said after that, neither Uncle Ye nor Ye Jia heard.

Their expressions were perfectly synchronized in sheer shock.

That person who could now influence the course of technological development in China… was Ye Shaohua?

Their faces showed more than just astonishment. Even though Ye Jia didn’t fully understand the industry, she knew from the way people like Gao Heng talked about ‘Y’ that it was a truly formidable existence.

She had always prided herself on being superior to Ye Shaohua in every way except for family background.

But ever since the mock exams, Ye Shaohua had skyrocketed to the status of an academic god at school!

And now, she had been revealed as Y!

Ye Jia didn’t even know what she was feeling anymore. Just remembering the time she went to ask Ye Shaohua why she hadn’t come back to beg her father made her wish the ground would swallow her whole!

If this was how Ye Jia felt, Uncle Ye’s regret was even deeper.

He was now filled with remorse, wondering why he had ever left the Ye Corporation.

Finally, the next day arrived. Ye Jia hurriedly packed a few pieces of luggage and went to find Master Lin.

She didn’t want to stay in the country a moment longer.

The streets, the media, the internet—everything was filled with news about Ye Shaohua. Only by escaping abroad could she escape Ye Shaohua’s shadow.

She waited at the airport for a long time before Master Lin finally arrived.

Ye Jia breathed a sigh of relief, a strained smile finally breaking through her gloomy expression of the past few days. “Teacher, I…”

To her surprise, Master Lin walked straight past her towards another service counter. “Wait, Ye Jia, look over there. Isn’t that Ye Shaohua?”

“I haven’t been able to reach her these past few days,” Master Lin said excitedly, not noticing Ye Jia’s stiffened expression. “I remember you’re relatives. Could you ask her for me if she’d be willing to become my personal disciple? I want to teach her everything I know.”
