Special Agent Rebirth: The Omnipotent Goddess of Quick Transmigration novel Chapter 179

Chapter 179: Scamp of 178 Cities (19) Two More

When Ye Shaohua left the house, Ye Min was already sitting in the car.

"Sis, let’s leave Imperial City," he said, looking at Ye Shaohua, thinking he could hide the anxiety deep in his eyes from her.

But what kind of person was Ye Shaohua? She saw through him at a glance, yet she didn’t point it out, only asking indifferently, "Why?"

"I just don’t feel comfortable staying here," Ye Min replied with a smile, "I’ve talked to the Professor about this. It’s possible to be an exchange student at S University, and you studied there too, didn’t you? You haven’t been to school for a long time."

Ye Shaohua narrowed her eyes at Ye Min, making him somewhat doubt whether Ye Shaohua already knew something.

To his surprise, Ye Shaohua shifted her gaze away, "Ning Zhou mentioned some issues at S University, indeed, I need to go back there."

Ye Min watched Ye Shaohua start the car, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Halfway through the journey, Ye Shaohua made a phone call to Fu Jinyun, but it was Fu Heng who answered. The person on the other end was incoherent, and Ye Shaohua hung up directly.

"What’s that?" Ye Min asked as he saw Ye Shaohua place a yellowed piece of paper at the front of the car, changing the subject.

This time, Ye Shaohua’s response was much colder than usual, "It’s nothing."

Ye Shaohua didn’t initially want to return to S City as the investigation of past events wasn’t completed, but the phone call wasn’t just from Ning Zhou; there were also words from the mayor of S City.

If it weren’t something serious, those people would definitely not have sought her help.

When Ye Shaohua arrived at the airport, the mayor had already sent people to pick her up.

She and Ye Min headed straight for the Grand Hotel near S University, where Assistant Wang and the others were waiting for her.

This was the International Hotel of S University, attended only by influential figures from the Mall, and as soon as the car stopped, someone helped them park.

"Ye Shaohua?" Just as Ye Shaohua got out of the car, she heard an unexpected voice.

A strikingly handsome man was escorting an equally beautiful young lady, both from head to toe in luxurious attire.

It was the long-unseen Cui Hao and Xun Yilin.

Ye Shaohua wasn’t in a good mood; she merely glanced at them indifferently, her expression unchanged.

However, Cui Hao was taken aback. In just a few months of not seeing her, Ye Shaohua seemed like a completely different person. Her features were the same, but her whole essence was different, appearing like an aloof and unattainable high mountain flower.

Cui Hao wondered, was this really Ye Shaohua?

Xun Yilin glanced at Ye Shaohua, who was still dressed in extremely ordinary clothes, and withdrew her gaze indifferently, "Cui Hao, let’s go."

The mayor was waiting near the Grand Hotel not far from S University. Since the matter was urgent, upon seeing her not coming over yet, he walked over himself, "I didn’t expect Master Ye to arrive so quickly."

At his motion, the people around him naturally followed suit: "Master Ye, thank you for coming back at this time."

"It’s the first time I meet Master Ye, I didn’t expect you to be so young."

However, Cui Hao shrugged off her hand, hurriedly making a phone call as he rushed out.

**

"What exactly happened?" Ye Shaohua took the documents the Principal handed her, frowning as she leafed through them.

The atmosphere in the car was very somber.

The issue occurred at S University, where there’s a Lover Lake. It was by this lake that the original personage had seen the ghost behind Cui Hao.

However, this lake had been sealed off since Ye Shaohua started her studies there, due to not just one murder case happening there.

The first incident was six months ago, when a freshman fell into the lake during a nighttime date with someone. Strangely enough, her boyfriend stated they had parted ways and she went to the dormitory, with surveillance footage also confirming her return to the dormitory and not coming out again. The next day, her body was discovered in the lake.

Beyond the first case, seven more girls drowned in the lake.

All the drowned were female students. Initially, these cases couldn’t lead back to a Feng Shui Master. However, the police found a commonality; each deceased girl was in a different place prior to death. Some were supposedly studying in the library and never left, but were later found in the lake. Others were home for the holidays, with their parents confirming that they were supposed to be on their way back to school, yet mysteriously died in the school’s lake.

...

Everything that happened was too bizarre. When the investigators realized this was beyond their capacity, they called upon the masters to get involved.

The school kept it tightly under wraps, but such a large university couldn’t just stop classes, could it?

Ye Shaohua closed the file, looked up, and before she could speak, her phone rang.
