Special Agent Rebirth: The Omnipotent Goddess of Quick Transmigration-Chapter 155 - 154 Best Substitute (16) Second Update
Chapter 155: 154 Best Substitute (16) Second Update
Liao Yizhou didn’t pay any attention to her at all, his gaze firmly fixed on the screen from beginning to end.
More precisely, his eyes never left Ye Shaohua’s face on the screen for even a moment.
"Looking at the stocks you’ve invested in short-term, Miss Ye must understand the stock market. Why didn’t you trade before and then suddenly get started?" The supporter happened to ask this question.
Upon hearing this, Ye Shaohua said softly, "My mom says that stocks are gambling, so I’ve never touched them, but when I was at my wits’ end, I wanted to try anything. Unexpectedly, I have quite the talent."
The last sentence was tinged with self-mockery.
When Liao Yizhou saw this scene, his whole body trembled.
He had already investigated that Y’s information, who started trading stocks a month ago, which was after he lent Ye Shaohua two hundred thousand and after the excessive things he said to her.
Those moments of desperation probably occurred when he added insult to injury at her lowest.
No wonder...
No wonder she was able to repay the two hundred thousand so quickly, no wonder her expression didn’t change at the sight of Zhao Yijun. Probably from the moment he spoke those words, she had already given up hope.
After finishing watching the live broadcast, Liao Yizhou drove off immediately, ignoring Zhao Yijun’s pleas to stay.
After he left, Yi Xian hadn’t recovered yet, "Yijun, who exactly is this Y? Why is everyone acting like they’ve gone mad?"
Zhao Yijun forced a smile that didn’t quite materialize, "Sorry, Yi Xian, I want to go home first."
Yi Xian, too, was shocked by the live broadcast, and therefore did not persist in trying to keep Zhao Yijun, but was full of thoughts as she went to find Pu Zhehan.

Liao Yizhou was already driving on the main road, wanting to find Ye Shaohua but with no idea where to start. He only knew that she was studying at S University, beyond that, he was clueless.
He had no choice but to park the car outside the gates of S University.
He waited for a long time, his assistant called several times asking him to come back to handle matters, but Liao Yizhou shirked them all.
It wasn’t until 7 p.m. that he finally saw Ye Shaohua’s figure.
But there wasn’t just her; there was also a tall, dark figure beside her. One glance was enough to see that the woman was cold and pure like jade, while the man’s facial features were picturesque. Both of them were coincidentally wearing white shirts, like a flurry of Dianthus flowers.
In the crowd, both stood out like a crane among chickens. It wasn’t just Liao Yizhou who was captivated by them; nearly everyone around was drawn to their presence as well.
Liao Yizhou had been smoking, but he almost choked on his cigarette when he saw the person next to Ye Shaohua.
He knew that person, or more precisely, had seen him from afar once.
He was the Great Demon King that almost nobody in their circle dared to provoke. His life was like a legend, decisive and daring, and yet the man had an air of subdued elegance, like a lotus flower. There were many young ladies in their circle who admired him, yet not one had succeeded.
Liao Yizhou had heard people joking at the dinner table about what kind of person would catch Ji Yunchen’s eye.
But Liao Yizhou never imagined that this person would appear so close to Ye Shaohua today. They didn’t seem to have interacted much, but he sensed an understanding between them in every move they made that no one else could intrude upon.
When he saw Fenghua Group sharing Ye Shaohua’s Weibo post yesterday, Liao Yizhou thought it was just a coincidence, but today, he witnessed such a scene.
Liao Yizhou watched the two of them until the cigarette burned down to his fingers without him even noticing until Ye Shaohua disappeared from his sight; only then did he come back to his senses. But this time, he didn’t chase after her.
Ye Shaohua hadn’t returned to her dorm when the hospital called, "Miss Ye, hello. Are you Lady Ye Dongxiang’s family member?"
"Yes, what happened?" Ye Shaohua paused in her steps.
The doctor on the other side was succinct, "Lady Ye is insisting on being discharged from the hospital, but her wounds have not yet healed, and there is still some treatment to be done. It’s not suitable for her to be travelling back and forth."
"I understand," Ye Shaohua took a deep breath, "Thank you, I’ll be right there."
She didn’t go back to her dormitory but went straight to the hospital.
It was already evening, and there were few people in the hospital corridors, only a scant number of patient families either fetching water or buying food.
When Ye Shaohua pushed open the door to her mother’s ward, she was sitting by the window in a chair, surrounded by several nurses and a doctor trying to persuade her.
"Mom, what’s wrong?" Ye Shaohua noticed that the things on the hospital bed had all been packed up.
Seeing Ye Shaohua enter, Lady Ye Dongxiang seemed to come to a realization. She looked at Ye Shaohua with a hint of panic, "Shaohua, hurry, pack up. We must leave Imperial City overnight."
"Leave Imperial City overnight?" Ye Shaohua narrowed her eyes, "Why?"
"We can’t fight those people... we simply can’t..." Lady Ye Dongxiang didn’t explain but shook her head, "Shaohua, listen to me, you won’t be wrong. Let’s leave quickly before it’s too late."
Lady Ye Dongxiang believed that if they didn’t leave Imperial City, the Zhao Family would definitely harm Ye Shaohua.
Just like what happened with Zhao Yan, there wasn’t even time for rescue.
She definitely didn’t want Ye Shaohua to follow his path.
"Can’t fight who? Mom, have you seen the news?" Ye Shaohua pressed her hand against her mother.
After saying that, Lady Ye Dongxiang miraculously calmed down a lot.
The head doctor watching this scene was somewhat surprised, as the place where Ye Shaohua had pressed on her mother was a few acupoints that could calm a person down.
Was it a coincidence?
Ye Shaohua apologized to the doctors and nurses before asking them to leave, knowing she needed to have a proper talk with her mother, who seemingly had some secrets she hadn’t disclosed yet.
"Now can you tell me what exactly happened?" Ye Shaohua asked after everyone had left.
Her voice seemed to carry the power to reassure people, and Lady Ye Dongxiang slowly recovered, "This is..."
Seeing Ji Yunchen, who had been standing next to Ye Shaohua all along, she paused.
Ye Shaohua glanced at him, "Don’t mind him, Mom. Tell me first."
Lady Ye Dongxiang seemed to remember the important issue at hand, her somewhat cloudy eyes filled with resolve, "Shaohua, listen to Mom, leave Imperial City immediately. We’ll go to M city in N region, or even back to our hometown. But we cannot stay in Imperial City. Otherwise, you can’t fight the Zhao Family!" fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
"The Zhao Family?" Ye Shaohua raised an eyebrow.
"Yes, the Zhao Family from Imperial City," Lady Ye Dongxiang took a deep breath and picked up her bag that had been packed earlier, "I’ll tell you about the details later. You’re still young, and you don’t know how those people could crush us, mother and daughter, with just one finger. Shaohua, let’s go before they make a move!"
