"Lady Ye, is this your sister? Can you introduce me?" Dr. Ryan excitedly held Ye Ke's hand at the backstage. "A hacking competition winner and the designer of Xinghe's firewall—what kind of brain does one need for that? You must be just as smart as your sister!"
At the same time, Ye Ke noticed that a number of bodyguards had appeared backstage, all because they were worried about Y's fervent fans showing up there.
"So what if it really is Y?" Ye Ke gradually regained her composure. She had received far too much praise these past two years and couldn't bear the fact that Ye Shaohua, who she never took seriously, could rival her talent in hacking, "She just has a bit of a knack for computers, that's all. Let her try starting her own internet company and see."
Her net worth was in the billions; just on this point alone, Ye Shaohua couldn't hold a candle to her. Thinking this, Ye Ke pursed her lips, "Dr. Ryan, actually I have another concept about automated intelligence. Could you get me in touch with someone from Xinghe?"

On the other side, Ye Shaohua slipped away from the throng of reporters.
Ye Han was watching a report about Ye Shaohua on a large screen outside the hospital. His pupils dilated, never having imagined that Y could be Ye Shaohua.
"Go back? No way... There's hardly any commotion. Besides, your FBI is full of talented agents; you don't need a businessman like me... Gu Jingyun, aren't you afraid of not finding them? As long as you dare to come to Hua Country, I'm ready to welcome you anytime. If you're going to be this unreasonable, I'm sending a recording of this call to your people—one for each of them..."
Ye Han watched Ye Shaohua, who was walking over while speaking strangely on the phone, and his gaze paused briefly.
"Shall we go to the hospital?" Ye Shaohua hung up the phone and drove her own car over.
"Yeah, the doctor said he had a sudden heart attack and needs surgery. The success rate is 50%." Ye Han said, his head drooping down.
Ye Shaohua felt indifferent about father Ye. She looked at the youth bowing his head and couldn't help but pat his head, "Come on, I'll accompany you."
Ye Han suddenly looked up, his eyes shining brightly, and replied obediently, "Really?"
"Mhm." Ye Shaohua, seeing his expression, fell silent for a moment, then sent a message to Gu Jingyun that read "Pigeon," and followed Ye Han to the hospital.
The surgery for father Ye required M Country's most advanced technology. The Ye Family had to spend a billion all by themselves to purchase this technology without the doctors performing the surgery. With a 50% success rate, father Ye was in the middle of changing his will.
When father Ye saw Ye Shaohua, his eyes lit up for a moment—after all, she was his daughter. However, Ye Shaohua just lowered her head to play with her mobile phone, ignoring him. She was only there to bolster Ye Han's courage today.
Just then, Ye Ke and Fu Jiachen, who were originally at University Beijing, returned.
"Dad, this is the will you made two years ago." Ye Ke, looking solemnly at Ye Shaohua, knew that she would have come back to fight for the Ye Family's fortune. But the Ye Family had flourished under her leadership and she wouldn't give Ye Shaohua a single penny.
Now, most of the Ye Family was under Ye Ke's control. Even if father Ye wanted to write a will to divide the Ye Family business, it needed her consent.
"Ake, when did you purchase these shares, not giving even a little to your brother and sister?" father Ye was shocked by her behavior. He hadn't expected Ye Shaohua to possess such a financial talent and had quietly replaced the head of the Ye Family.
"As long as my brother obeys, I'll ensure he won't worry about food or clothes. As for Ye Shaohua, she's long left the Ye Family." Ye Ke looked towards father Ye, "Also, dad, please transfer to me the remaining 10% of the shares you hold. I've already held back the machine from M Country. If you want the surgery, you need to give me the 10% shares first. Once the shares are in my hands, the surgery will proceed normally."
"You're insane!" father Ye, Ye Han, and Madam Ye all looked at Ye Ke as if they didn't recognize her.
Ye Ke's action was to avoid giving Ye Shaohua any opportunity. She couldn't let Ye Shaohua gain the Ye Family resources and rise again.
Fu Jiachen paused for a moment. He didn't leave immediately, but looked at Ye Shaohua instead.
His feelings for Ye Shaohua were complicated, especially knowing that she was Y. He couldn't articulate his feelings.
Yet, he also felt that it wasn't entirely unacceptable, considering Ye Shaohua had previously created a program with just a glance that even Ye Ke couldn't code.
"You should go back to M Country," Fu Jiachen shook his head slightly, "With the automated intelligence developed, the whole of Asia will be Ake's domain. Even if you are the hacking genius Y, it's useless. Moreover, Xinghe has just agreed to collaborate with Ake."
"A collaboration with Xinghe, and I should go back to M Country?" Ye Shaohua found this suggestion utterly laughable.
Fu Jiachen looked deeply at Ye Shaohua, "This is my only reminder for you. Take care of yourself."
Fu Jiachen only knew that Ye Shaohua was Y, and he was aware of hacker capabilities. However, Ye Shaohua had at most a few million in her hands, and her most valuable asset was her brain.
Yet all of this couldn't compare to Ye Ke's Ye Family. Even with several billion in his hands, Fu Jiachen still felt superior after the initial shock.
"Ye Ke! That's our dad! Transferring shares takes at least three days, dad can't wait that long. Do you want him to die?!" Ye Han charged outside to confront Ye Ke, because he knew her treatment of him had been strange these past two years. He didn't care, but the man before him was their own father!
With Fu Jiachen standing as her protector, Ye Ke hadn't even stopped Ye Han when Ye Shaohua already grabbed hold of him, "Let it go, let her leave. If she can say this, it means she never intended to give you a billion."
"But... sister..." Ye Han looked like an angry little beast.
Ye Shaohua casually patted his shoulder, "It's alright. After all, he's your father. Leave this to me."
As Ye Ke was walking out, she overheard Ye Shaohua's words and a scornful curve graced her lips. Leave it to you? Even if you designed the firewall for Xinghe, what could you achieve in just two years? No matter how talented you are, you're still just a student. Could you really make a billion?
