Chapter 128: Sky Screen Live Streaming System (3)

When Xie Yang transmigrated here seven years ago, she was in the worst possible situation.

Her parents were both dead, her older brother was missing, and the relatives on her father's side were eyeing the inheritance left by the original owner's parents like tigers stalking their prey.

Two uncles and one paternal uncle couldn't even wait for the cremation of the original owner's parents to finish before they started arguing at the entrance of the crematorium over who would sit in the boss's chair, who would manage the finances, and who would manage procurement.

The aunts and the uncle's wife set their sights on the luxurious villa that could be called a manor, wishing they could pack their bags and move in immediately.

Their greedy faces didn't even avoid the original owner.

Seeing the original owner glaring over in grief and indignation, she was also viciously cursed by the three couples in unison—

"What are you looking at! Keep looking and I'll dig your eyeballs out! You jinx who cursed your father and mother to death!"

"It's all your fault, you money-losing goods! If it weren't for you, would Lao San and my eldest nephew have met with an accident? In my opinion, you're the one who deserves to die most!"

"Why haven't you gone to die yet! If you were truly filial, you should go to hell to apologize to your mom and dad!"

"Apologizing isn't enough; you're a money-losing good who will be married off sooner or later, how could your cheap life be worth as much as Lao San and my eldest nephew!"

"Alright, alright, why are you just standing there? Hurry up and hand over the keys to your house! From now on, you'll still have to rely on our families to live, so keep your eyes sharp."

"What College Entrance Examination are you still taking! You're eighteen, it's time to get married! I'll find you a husband in our village who knows how to dote on his wife."

All sorts of nasty words caused the original owner, who hadn't closed her eyes for three full days, to be unable to recover from her anger, and her heart stopped beating.

When she opened her eyes again, she had become Xie Yang.

The first thing she did was have the Main System spend reward points to redeem a Permanent Physical Fitness Potion to adjust her body to its best state.

After calmly handling her parents' funeral arrangements, she sold off the company her father founded, sold that hundred-acre villa and an office building primarily used for collecting rent with lightning speed, and after liquidating the assets, she spent a huge sum of money on advertisements to search for her older brother, Xie Ci.

Huge missing-person advertisements were hung in the central shopping malls of every city and town in the country, and she also bought scrolling advertising slots on online social platforms.

Within a few days, the whole country knew that there was a young man named Xie Ci who had gone missing after a car accident; he was neither seen alive nor dead, and his younger sister was selling off the family property to find him.

The overwhelming advertisements were all just to find her brother and bring him home.

This move left those greedy relatives waiting to receive her family's property dumbfounded:

"Is Lao San's daughter an idiot? Selling a company with such high output value just like that?"

"And there's the villa and the office building! I heard they were all sold!"

"They say the cash from the liquidation was all spent on advertisements, so where is she living now? Xie Laoda, she's your niece after all, are you brothers just going to watch and not help at all?"

"Pah! Help my ass! Did she consult us uncles when she was selling off the family property?"

"Exactly! What kind of niece is this bold? Her parents' bodies aren't even cold yet, and she dares to sell the family property. From now on, we have no such relative!"

"Do you think Lao San hid a few more properties and shops we don't know about?"

"If he did, they're sold too! I heard that girl hired a lawyer to take inventory of the assets under Lao San and his wife's names, sold off all the fixed assets, and put the liquidated money into a special account to pay for advertising fees."

"That's right, isn't that dead girl about to take the College Entrance Examination? I heard she rented a small room near the school. When a reporter interviewed her, she said that as long as her brother isn't found, the advertisements across the country won't be taken down for a single day."

"..."

She's crazy!

Advertising nationwide both online and offline, how much must the annual advertising fee be!

Xie Yang didn't care what everyone said.

She continued doing what she had to do.

Not only did she post and broadcast her brother's headshot nationwide online and offline to find him, but she also hired a top-tier artist to sketch two portraits of him as a child based on his facial features—one as a boy and one as a girl—and put those on the billboards as well.

An intern reporter covering social news discovered the change in the billboards and, thinking he had unearthed a big scoop, excitedly contacted Xie Yang for a phone interview:

"Miss Xie, have you found your brother's whereabouts?"

"No. If I had, I would have taken down the advertisements long ago; you know this expense is not a small sum."

"Then these two children..."

"Oh, I'm worried that my brother might have injured his face and been disfigured in the car accident, and having lost his previous memories, even if he saw the missing person notice, he might not guess that I'm looking for him. So I want to try my luck; in case he got married and had children while suffering from amnesia, whether it's a nephew or a niece, they might inherit a bit of his looks."

Reporter: "..."

Are you overthinking this?

But then, thinking of the amnesiac CEO novels he had read during his student days, he had to admit, there was actually a possibility.

Reporter: "Then I hope your brother has children soon..."

Wait! What is she saying!

He quickly corrected himself: "... and returns home soon."

"... Thank you!"

Considering that children grow fast, Xie Yang updated the photos on the advertisements every six months, which was another extra expense.

Fortunately, she was admitted to the Finance Department of Hua University, and stock trading is a compulsory course for finance students.

Xie Yang set aside one year's worth of advertising fees and necessary living expenses, and invested all the remaining funds into the stock market.

After graduating from university, she became a full-time stock trader.

It could be said that apart from morning jogs, working out, grocery shopping, and taking out the trash, she almost never stepped out of the house.

After seven years, the interest compounded into a giant snowball.

With this money, after her nephew and niece arrived, even if she didn't work, she would have enough ability to provide them with a good living environment, take them to see the beautiful landscape, and raise them to grow up strong.

"After all, life is like a dream, stand up and ride the wind with me—"

Her phone rang.

Having just arrived at the airport and still waiting in line for security, Xie Yang looked down at the incoming call; it was a landline from the Film and Television City area code, and she quickly answered: "Hello, this is Xie Yang."

"Ms. Xie, this is the Y City Film and Television Base Police Station. It's like this..."

Zhou Liang, a newly transferred administrative officer at the Police Station, looked at the little girl beside him who was tilting her head and curiously peeking at him, then looked at the little boy next to her who was tightly holding the girl's hand with a serious, guarded little face; he stuttered for a moment before remembering what he wanted to say:

"Our station received a report from a concerned citizen saying they found your nephew and niece. The children have now been brought to the station by my colleague. We compared them with the photos on the missing person advertisement, and they do look about seventy or eighty percent alike. You see..."

"Thank you, Officer! I saw the news online half an hour ago and am just about to board the plane. Before I arrive, please help me look after the two children."

"That's no problem. Since you're already on your way, we'll talk about everything else once you arrive."

Zhou Liang hung up the phone.

He turned his head and saw his cold-faced female colleague Fu Ying, who was supposed to be on duty inside, currently holding a bag of snacks and coaxing two children with the tone of a Wolf grandmother coaxing little lambs:

"Little sister is so well-behaved! Big brother is so great too! You know how to protect your little sister! Come! Big sister is rewarding you both, pick whatever you want to eat, don't be shy!"

"..."

Whose big sister are you? The children's own aunt isn't even as old as you.
