Chapter 10: Young Lady of a Prestigious Family (9)

After the hacker competition, the most discussed topic among the faculty and lab members of the Computer Science department at University Beijing was Y.

Ye Ke had just come out of the laboratory with two classmates when they overheard some gossip nearby.

After catching a few keywords, she couldn't help but stop the group, "Wait, what did you just say? Exchange student?"

Ye Ke's name was well-known throughout University Beijing, and there was hardly anyone who didn't recognize her. Seeing that the person asking was her, the group was quite flattered.

"Yes, Ye junior, we heard that the person coming is a special exchange student, a beauty at that. Though she's originally from Hua Country, this time it was our Academy's Dean who specifically requested her," one person explained.

"Special exchange student? Famous?" Ye Ke noted the keywords, the Dean personally naming her.

Another person quickly answered, "She's a genius from the CS Academy of Stanford, known internationally for many designs and has won numerous awards. Otherwise, the Dean wouldn't have personally requested her."

Ye Ke nodded, no longer questioning. She wasn't concerned about this genius at all.

In the past two years, the word "genius" was not enough to describe her, and moreover, she hadn't heard of any unbelievable students from Stanford Academy.

But before Ye Ke could finish her thoughts, she saw a line of people coming down from the laboratory building.

Ye Ke glanced at them unintentionally, but her expression changed obviously when she recognized that the accompaniers were the lab manager and a Dean from University Beijing.

She turned her gaze to the person in the front, curious about who warranted the company of two high-ranking individuals from University Beijing.

To her surprise, she went blank for a moment upon seeing him.

The person in front was wearing a pristine white shirt, his demeanor aloof, jet-black hair scattered across his forehead, and eyes deep and unfathomable like ink paintings on rice paper.

Ye Ke thought she heard the Dean calling him "Third Young Master."

"It's him!" Ye Ke heard the astonished voices of two senior classmates, "The Third Young Master of the Gu Family, Gu Jingyun! Why has he returned?"

"Teacher..." Ye Ke's heart skipped a beat as she suddenly remembered who this person was. She had caught a glimpse of him in her previous life at a family banquet of the Gu Family, where even the Gu Family's stewards were exceedingly polite to him.

With this thought, Ye Ke stepped forward. Although she was greeting the Deans of their Academy, her peripheral vision was fixed on Gu Jingyun.

Unfortunately, Gu Jingyun, always aloof, showed no patience for Ye Ke and the Dean's pleasantries, not even sparing a glance for Ye Ke and the others.

After greeting the Deans, he took his car keys and left, "I'll go ahead."

As he passed by Ye Ke and the others, he took a phone call. The indifference in his eyes almost completely vanished as he looked down, "You're back? Don't wander off, I'm coming to pick you up."

"Don't even think about it," seeing Ye Ke like this, a senior female student beside her sighed, "That's the Third Young Master of the Gu Family, only to be admired from afar."

Hearing her senior's words, Ye Ke clenched her fists, but her eyes gradually firmed.

Then she wanted to try even more. She now had control of the Hacker Alliance's intelligence for the next eight years. This rebirth was for the purpose of changing her own destiny. She did not believe that with her talent there was anything she couldn't do!

At the airport, Ye Shaohua removed her sunglasses from the bridge of her nose and looked toward the arrival gate. It was only upon seeing a familiar figure that she pulled her luggage and walked over.

Meanwhile, Gu Jingyun gazed at the approaching figure, his eyes somewhat vacant.

It had been two years since he had seen her in person, aside from video calls. He never expected that she would be more dazzling in real life than on screen, causing passersby to do double-takes.

"Those people from M Country actually let you come back?" Gu Jingyun took her luggage, withdrawing his gaze.

Gu Jingyan, who had hurried over, saw Gu Jingyun's natural gesture, and his mouth hung open wide enough to fit an egg. Was this his distant and composed third brother?

"They have big plans," Ye Shaohua's eyes narrowed slightly, "right as I boarded the plane, the FBI used the pretext of a routine investigation to search my office."

Hearing this, Gu Jingyan felt his head spin. What was he listening to? Why wouldn't the people from M Country want to let her go? What office? What FBI?

"They are shameless. Didn't they lose anything?" Gu Jingyun's eyebrows knotted.

"All the important things have always been in my head," Ye Shaohua tapped her forehead, "but I'm also ready to move back to Hua Country."

Not understanding the rest, Gu Jingyan got the gist of this part and whilst playing the doorman and driver, he said, "Ye deity, have you decided to return to Hua Country? Going back to the Ye Family? Oh right, you probably don't know yet. Your sister is quite something. Although she's not as good as you in computers, she's a genius in finance. Within just two years, the Ye Family's headquarters moved to Imperial City. Once you go to University Beijing, you'll see. She's known to all there. Geez, the Ye Family really produces monsters."

Gu Jingyan didn't know what Ye Shaohua was up to abroad, only that she was in college, so he made that remark.

Hearing his words, Ye Shaohua slightly curled her lips, but before she could say anything, her phone in her pocket rang.

"Sister, dad's in the hospital, he just got hit by a car. Are you coming?" The call was from Ye Han.

Even though Ye Shaohua hadn't been in contact with the Ye Family for two years, it seemed that Ye Han knew she had alerted them to that car race and he had been keeping an eye on her, even secretly sending her money.

Although she had no affection for the other members of the Ye Family, she was somewhat tolerant of Ye Han.

"After you went abroad, dad also tried to find you several times. Although he doesn't talk about it, after all, you're his daughter. He surely misses you. If you have time, you can visit him at the First People's Hospital."

After the call, Ye Shaohua's eyebrows furrowed slightly, her slender fingers tapping on her phone, as if contemplating something.

"Will you go?" Gu Jingyun asked, glancing up lightly.

Ye Shaohua shook her head, "Let's go to the school first."

At the hospital, Ye Ke and others had already hurried to the outside of the operation room.

Unlike the anxious look of the other Ye Family members, Ye Ke appeared very calm. She already knew that her father would have this car accident and that he would break a leg.

Seeing her indifferent demeanor, Ye Han frowned, not understanding when exactly his once-admired sister had changed, even the way she looked at their family was strange.

Sometimes Ye Han was even afraid of his sister whom he had once respected.

So he stepped aside and made a call to Ye Shaohua.

But what Ye Han didn't know was that his conversation with Ye Shaohua was fully overheard by Ye Ke.

Only after Ye Han had taken the elevator did Ye Ke step out from the corner, her gaze darkening, "Ye Han, I gave you an opportunity this time. But thank you for letting me know that Ye Shaohua has returned...

Ye Shaohua, your return is just in time. You've studied computer science abroad for two years. Although your school is better than mine, you don't know that I never needed to study computer science. From the moment you started computer science, I was already using the knowledge from my previous life to make software.

Now in University Beijing, Ning City, and the business circles, who doesn't know of Ye Ke, the genius young lady of the Ye Family? As for Ye Shaohua, apart from Ye Han, who else remembers that the Ye Family has such a person?"
