Chapter 1084: 1072 The World of Reality [37] Her Conquest (Second Update)

Ye Shaohua stared at those three messages for quite a while.

The Mu Family’s news was kept too tightly hidden.

Most were not recorded online but in archives, where the relationships were complex and intertwined, so even with her hacking skills, Ye Shaohua could not find them.

That’s why she thought of the deputy director.

RY: Myself. Haven’t thought about it for now.

After sending these two sentences, she then received the file sent by the deputy director.

Special Situation Bureau Deputy Director: You’re seeking me out without coming out of your own seclusion?

Ye Shaohua didn’t immediately look at the file, but stared at the message sent by the deputy director, becoming slightly lost in thought.

She had started helping the Special Situation Bureau at the age of twelve, albeit under the alias of South Island, contacting the people from the bureau only by codenames; hers was RY.

Apart from her coach, no one knew that the person ranked fifth on the international wanted list was her, and that ranking was for being wanted, not for hiring others to kill.

More intimidating than the number one ranked South Island Shaohua.

Everyone wanted to kill South Island Shaohua, but not a single person wanted to kill RY; what they wanted was for RY to work for them.

A portion of those in the know dared not take her jobs; those unaware couldn’t find any information about her at all.

All people knew was that RY was related to South Island, but they didn’t know who she was.

It had been two years since she left the Special Situation Bureau.

During these two years, she left no messages, nor did she take on any more tasks from the bureau, and the bureau hadn’t sought her out either.

This time she approached the deputy director for information, who considered the contributions she had made to the bureau without compensation in the past.

Most times she did tasks, she wasn’t paid for them.

And after leaving the Special Situation Bureau, she continued to work for South Island, but under the name of Nie Jinyu.

Nie Jinyu was a famous leader of South Island, but until now had barely done any significant work.

And because of Ye Shaohua, the Special Situation Bureau had taken a protective stance toward South Island; it was precisely because Ye Shaohua intentionally involved South Island while working for the bureau that South Island was extracted from the conflicts of Imperial City.

The last time Nie Jinyu suddenly came to Imperial City, he nearly destroyed her decade of efforts.

Thinking about this, Ye Shaohua grew somewhat agitated.

She focused on her phone, and only after a while replied with four words to the deputy director.

RY: Let me think.

Special Situation Bureau Deputy Director: Why did you suddenly leave in the end?

Special Situation Bureau Deputy Director: I don’t understand. At that time your contributions could have easily earned you a seat as a deputy director, yet you choose to leave at such a critical moment.

Special Situation Bureau Deputy Director: If you had not left... you would likely be the youngest chief coach in history now.

Special Situation Bureau Deputy Officer: You left the world you fought so hard for just for me to take over, but what for?

Reading the messages from the deputy director, Ye Shaohua paused for a long time.

The deputy director did not know her identity; even if they were face to face, they wouldn’t recognize each other, but after eight years of interactions, they trusted each other deeply.

RY: I didn’t have that capability.

Special Situation Bureau Deputy Director: If you don’t want to return, if you don’t want to be involved in this, then let me ask you, what do you need the Mu Family’s information for?

This time Ye Shaohua didn’t reply, just stared outside the window.

She had indeed been full of enthusiasm when she first joined the Special Situation Bureau.

But in the end, she found herself still alone.

Jiang Sister was discussing travel schedules with her assistant because Ye Shaohua didn’t need to take the exhausting route of public appearances, and the endorsements she took on were all international brands.

The company hoped she would use more time to charge herself up, to become a second Lin He, or rather, to create a superstar that would surpass Lin He’s achievements.

"Ancestors..." After arranging everything, Jiang Sister wanted to pass the information to Ye Shaohua.

But she saw Ye Shaohua staring out the window, with a look that made Jiang Sister freeze for quite a while, as if recalling something; she immediately spoke up, "Ancestors, at least take this seriously. I picked these scripts for you, you choose for yourself."

Ye Shaohua took one script, glanced at it, "Rich Young Master of the Li Family runs away and meets a poor girl; after spending time together, he develops feelings without realizing it, but then his fiancée from a reputable family comes to take him back to get married, heart-wrenching love ensues after realizing the poor girl is his true love... Kiddo, are you serious?"

As she flipped through the scripts, she commented, "This one, ’Top Student’ male lead and an ordinary-looking ’Bottom Student’ girl fall in true love, then the ’Bottom Student’ girl transforms into a beautiful swan, but in the end, they still missed each other; such a melodramatic story."

"..."

Jiang Sister had just casually handed a few scripts to Ye Shaohua, not knowing they were such melodramatic commercial dramas, "I’ll look for some more for you."

Ye Shaohua returned the scripts to Jiang Sister and, upon hearing her, just smiled, "No need, I have a script here."

"What script?" Jiang Sister looked her way, "From Director Jin for you?"

"That’s not the case. Director Jin doesn’t plan to shoot any movies in the short term." Ye Shaohua shook her head, "But you’ll definitely be satisfied with this script."

"Right now, the only thing that satisfies me, without a single fault, is the script for "Ten Thousand Gods,"" Sister Jiang’s interest was piqued, "News on Weibo has been released early that ’Ten Thousand Gods’ is going to sell its film and television rights. I wonder if Ye Liu has already sold it. It would be great if they hold a public audition, and you, Shaohua, must go and try out no matter what."

Sister Jiang was discussing this excitedly with Ye Shaohua.

Ye Shaohua opened the Mu Family file and began to look through it, "It hasn’t been sold yet. She probably doesn’t plan to sell it to anyone else."

Sister Jiang, daydreaming, was startled when she heard Ye Shaohua’s words, "How do you know? Is the news accurate?"

Ye Shaohua just looked at Sister Jiang with an enigmatic gaze.

This made Sister Jiang want to smack her, but, she didn’t dare to.

The Mu Family’s information had always been very secretive, and even the second-in-command at the Special Situation Bureau had found little.

Ye Shaohua directly flipped to the section on Mu Xingzhi’s information.

The red mark on the palm of Mu Xingzhi’s left hand was very familiar to her; years ago, when she was reading in the Book Pavilion on West Island, she had come across the Mu Family’s punishment system by chance.

The Mu Family had a history of over a thousand years, with a complex and entangled set of circumstances, and there were over a thousand different punishments just listed in the text.

The most vivid memory Ye Shaohua had was of the most severe "heart-burning" punishment. The left hand is connected to the heart and such a punishment system is not ordinary discipline, but rather it involves suffering from heartburn pain every day for three years after.

The records also mentioned a case from a hundred years ago when the head of the Mu Family took the punishment upon himself, underwent a drastic change in temperament, and, unable to bear the burden, committed suicide within a year.

When Ye Shaohua saw the mark on Mu Xingzhi’s left hand, she didn’t think much of it.

Historically, there was only one person who endured that punishment, and the description was vague.

Ye Shaohua wasn’t clear about the details, and she had no idea what exactly was on Mu Xingzhi’s hand, but Mu Xingzhi had not undergone the drastic change in temperament like that family head from a hundred years ago.

She also couldn’t imagine what kind of wrong Mu Xingzhi such a person could have committed to receive such a punishment.

She furrowed her brows and continued to flip through the materials given by the deputy director.

The records were clear: Mu Xingzhi had always been on West Island, but on the 27th of July this year, he returned to the Mu Family ancestral home for seven hours, then took a private plane to M Country.

The 27th of July was the same date Ye Shaohua had a meeting with the boss of Team Falcon.

Calculating the time, it would’ve been just as Mu Xingzhi reached the airport, about the same time she and Sister Jiang went to the airport themselves.

It seemed suspicious, but she couldn’t put her finger on what exactly was amiss.

**

Meanwhile, at the Mu Family mansion.

Mu Xingzhi pinched his fingers, "Is the task completed?"

The butler hesitated, "Ye Feng has unanimously passed as the deputy dean today. He looks like he can’t believe it himself that he would pass unanimously."

"That’s good," Mu Xingzhi nodded, "For Ye Li, ask Mu Qiu to pay more attention."

The butler sighed, "Young Master, the Ye Family now has considerable influence in Imperial City, and their actions could even affect us. Elevating the Ye Family to such a height... if Nie Jinyu decides to come back to challenge you..."

Mu Xingzhi gazed absently at the dried plum blossoms on the table.

"You know about Miss Ye, she did everything for the people of South Island, gave up everything. Everything in her veins is etched with South Island... If that person, Nie Jinyu, decides to challenge you later, and if Miss Ye leads the Ye Family to help Nie Jinyu, then you... don’t go mad," the butler, bracing himself, voiced the potential consequences.

Mu Xingzhi quietly looked at the dried plum blossoms; after a long moment, he spoke indifferently, "Then I accept defeat."

**

Ye Shaohua intended to go back to find Mu Xingzhi, but just as she left, she received a call from Grandfather Ye.

"Dad has been promoted by two levels?" Ye Shaohua paused and looked at the information on the phone; after a moment of thought, she said, "Okay, I’ll come back right away."

Ye Feng being promoted by two levels meant he now had real power in his hands.

The whole family was very excited; the old grandfather called Ye Shaohua first before instructing the butler to notify both Ye Tong and Ye Li.

When Ye Shaohua returned, Su Min, the aunt, and Grandfather Su all came over with gifts to congratulate them.

This was the best news for the Ye Family in nearly ten years.

"I don’t understand why the Rong Family would choose me," Ye Feng was still in disbelief, always feeling that something was strange.

If Grandfather couldn’t figure it out, then he just went with the flow, "What’s there to worry about? Maybe they saw your potential; if the Rong Family wants to promote you, you just do your job well."

Ye Feng nodded seriously.

When Ye Shaohua came back, Grandfather Ye was playing Go with Grandfather Su. Grandfather Ye was skilled at it, while Grandfather Su’s skills weren’t great, but he liked to play, so he had Ye Tong assist him.

Ye Tong sat beside Grandfather Su, occasionally offering a word or two, evidently knowledgeable about the game.

"Shaohua, come here, this is your grandfather." Before Ye Li returned, Grandfather Ye directly called Ye Shaohua to his side.

Ever since her return, Su Min had never allowed Ye Shaohua to visit the Su Family.

And Grandfather Su had never met Ye Shaohua, nor had he shown any interest in meeting her. Hearing Ye Shaohua address him, he merely lifted his eyes to glance at her, uttering a very indifferent "Hmm."

Then he went back to speaking gently with Ye Tong, "Tongtong, what do you think the next move should be?"

Ye Shaohua’s gaze shifted to the Go board.
