After Transmigrating as the Vicious Female Supporting Character, I Ran Away While Pregnant - Chapter 18

“Shengsheng, I will investigate this matter to the end! I’ll definitely find those bastards, tear them into pieces, and avenge you!” Ji Ruodong sat opposite Li Sheng, his hands clenched tightly into fists. As the male lead of this world, when he said the words “tear them into pieces,” they really did seem stained with blood.

“Thank you, President Ji. But this is my private matter. I hope President Ji’s forces will not get involved.” Li Sheng refused Ji Ruodong.

Watching Li Sheng leave, Ji Ruodong felt terrible.

Back then, he had also walked out of the hotel so decisively, hadn’t he? For these five years, Shengsheng must have hated him.

Although Li Sheng refused him, Ji Ruodong did not choose to give up. He had Special Assistant Wang hire people to investigate in detail. They had to find out clearly what had happened five years ago. However, Ji Ruodong specifically instructed him that during the investigation, they absolutely had to keep things confidential.

After all, this concerned Li Sheng. Although five years had passed, and the matter of Li Sheng pursuing him had already settled down in their circle, Li Sheng had now returned. Not long from now, he was also going to formally hold his engagement ceremony with Chi Yunman. Presumably, there would be people with ill intentions who would connect these two matters together.

After leaving that restaurant, Li Sheng quickly drove back. Along the way, she kept recalling everything that had happened in these five years, as well as the events from her previous life.

The last time she had been captured and taken back, she had been in a half-conscious state. She could not tell whether what she heard beside her ear was reality or hallucination. She vaguely remembered that they had begun a mad apocalyptic experiment.

In the apocalypse, the population had decreased on a massive scale. On top of that, many women had awakened abilities after the apocalypse. These “strong women” were unwilling to marry and have children in the apocalypse. Furthermore, with morality collapsing in the apocalypse, human trafficking was extremely common. Ordinary people already had difficulty keeping themselves alive, let alone raising descendants.

Later, things gradually stabilized. The base encouraged everyone to have more children, even offering subsidies and reward policies. But everyone tragically discovered that ability users’ fertility had greatly decreased. Ordinary people, regardless of gender, once again became popular goods in the marketplace. Many ability users would buy a pair and take them back to bear and raise children for them.

Human nature in the apocalypse once again faced a new challenge. A distant relative of the base leader from before the apocalypse had also been bought and sold multiple times because she was an ordinary person. Whether for public or private reasons, the base leader could no longer sit by and do nothing.

And so the upper levels began a scientific artificial human project, but after many trials, they all failed.

She heard that after that, the base leader issued a secret order. Twelve research institutes were all trying to find ways to solve the fertility problem.

Could it be that she had also become a lab rat in that experiment? And the experiment had succeeded on her? Had she come to this world not through soul rebirth, but through physical transmigration? Had the real eldest young lady of the Li family, Li Sheng, died five years ago? Or had she been taken away by someone, her whereabouts unknown?

Her memories from five years ago were too blurry. Li Sheng could not remember anything. The only somewhat clear memory she had was leaving the hospital.

Li Sheng returned home. The assumptions she had made along the way had already left her mentally exhausted. When she saw Mo Yueshuang and Ranran, there were still beads of sweat on Li Sheng’s forehead.

“Mommy~”

Ranran happily ran over and hugged Li Sheng’s leg. “Mommy, Ranran missed you so much.”

“I missed you too, Ranran.”

Only when Li Sheng saw Ranran did her floating, uneasy heart finally stabilize a little.

Mo Yueshuang looked at Li Sheng worriedly. “Are you all right?”

“I’m fine, Miss Mo.” Li Sheng’s mental state was not very good. Her usual cold, elegant, and noble appearance seemed somewhat melted at this moment, and her tone was rather gentle as she asked, “Miss Mo, can I ask you to stay another night? Tonight, I have something to handle.”

Mo Yueshuang was a little surprised, and difficulty appeared on her face. “I really want to stay and accompany Ranran, but tomorrow morning, I have an advertisement endorsement.”

The shooting location for the advertisement was somewhat far from here. It was not impossible to leave from here tomorrow, but the timing would be a little rushed, and Chen Yue would have to take a detour to come pick her up.

Li Sheng lowered her gaze, then quickly pulled herself together again and looked at her. She smiled faintly. “Then I’ll call Guan Tai over later. After dinner, I’ll send you away and handle my matter on the way.”

“All right. Sorry to trouble you.” Mo Yueshuang thanked her somewhat embarrassedly. Li Sheng did not think much of it. In the apocalypse, there were not many empty formalities. If someone did not want to do something, they would just say it directly. After all, it was a world where ability reigned supreme. The ones who played empty tricks were often those without ability and who were annoying.

Guan Tai arrived very quickly. It seemed he wanted to arrive before Mo Yueshuang left so he could see her, but unfortunately, he only got to see her once and greet her before watching Mo Yueshuang leave.

“Miss Mo, where you live now isn’t very safe. About the bodyguards, I suggest you arrange it as soon as possible. If you don’t have any suitable candidates, I have a group of reliable bodyguards here. If you need them, I can recommend them to you.”

Asking Guan Tai to find bodyguards was indeed because Ranran needed them, but the domestic situation was not as complicated as overseas. One group of bodyguards was already enough.

“No need. I’ve already asked Chen Yue to arrange it. Thank you.”

Chen Yue had indeed already arranged everything, so Mo Yueshuang did not want to trouble Li Sheng to introduce bodyguards to her.

Li Sheng did not say anything more. Her hand tightened around the steering wheel, and she drove quickly and steadily the whole way.

When they reached Mo Yueshuang’s residential compound, Li Sheng did not rush to leave. She got out of the car, locked the doors, and said to Mo Yueshuang, “It’s dark. I’ll send you back.”

Although this was a high-end residential compound with very good security measures, and security guards patrolled at night, Li Sheng had stayed in the apocalypse for too long. She was used to being cautious and careful.

Seeing Mo Yueshuang holding her bag with both hands in front of her and standing there in a daze, Li Sheng frowned slightly and awkwardly comforted her, “Go back quickly. When I leave later, I’ll ask the security guards to pay more attention to any movement on your side.”

Mo Yueshuang had arranged many security systems in her home. Once she returned home, she would not be afraid. No matter how powerful Mo Haogui was, he was only an ordinary person. It would basically be impossible for him to break in.

It was just…

Mo Yueshuang looked at Li Sheng. After so many years, she had always been alone, crawling and struggling through wind and rain. She did not dare speak grandly about having seen through human nature or experienced life, but in all these years, she truly had never met someone like Li Sheng, who suddenly treated her well without carrying any purpose.

“Li Sheng.”

Mo Yueshuang suddenly called her. Li Sheng turned her head and looked at her in confusion. “Mm?”

“No, nothing.” Mo Yueshuang was suddenly stared at by Li Sheng’s eyes, which had lost their coldness, and for no reason, her mind became somewhat flustered. It was not fear, nor was it the creepy feeling caused by being watched for too long. It was a special kind of emotion. Mo Yueshuang had never experienced it before. She did not understand it, but faintly, she seemed to know what this feeling meant.

Mo Yueshuang turned her head away and somewhat unnaturally tucked a few strands of hair behind her ear. Because of this, her reddened ear was exposed.

Li Sheng’s gaze followed the movement of her hand and naturally noticed the red tip of her ear. Li Sheng narrowed her eyes slightly, having some guesses, but she said nothing. She only quietly waited for Mo Yueshuang to follow.

“Thank you.” Mo Yueshuang quickly walked to Li Sheng’s side and walked with her toward her home. On the way, Mo Yueshuang’s smile was faint but very sincere as she said, “I’ve troubled you too much these days. If there’s anything you need from me in the future, just tell me.”

“It’s fine. It was only a small effort. Even if an unrelated person encountered these things, I would help if I could. Let alone when you and Ranran have such a good relationship.”

Li Sheng dutifully escorted her to the door of her home. She even reminded her that before the bodyguards arrived, if she encountered anything wrong, she absolutely had to notify security immediately and call the police quickly.

Mo Yueshuang agreed seriously and once again thanked her sincerely.

Only after Li Sheng left did Mo Yueshuang lean against that door and think back on Li Sheng. She kept feeling that Li Sheng was somewhat familiar, but she was certain she had never seen Li Sheng before. After all, although her memory was not photographic, a woman like Li Sheng, with such outstanding looks and unique temperament, was someone she definitely would not forget if she had seen her.

Especially last night, after Li Sheng had bathed, her exposed skin still carried the faint pink flush left by the warm water’s gentle touch. That appearance instantly overlapped with a figure deep in Mo Yueshuang’s mind. But Mo Yueshuang had only been distracted for an instant. No matter what, she could not remember the specific details.

During these days of interacting with Li Sheng, Li Sheng had not shown any sign that they had once known each other either. Only when she first saw her had there been a moment of unnaturalness. Perhaps it was because she had gotten into a car accident with a female star on the street.

Li Sheng did indeed go ask the security guards for help just as she had said. She took out a few red banknotes from her wallet, and the matter of asking someone for a favor was very easily handled.

Li Sheng looked at the three small sealed bags with labels attached on the passenger seat. Inside them were strands of hair from Mo Yueshuang, Ji Ruodong, and Ranran.

At this moment, Li Sheng sped up even more, heading toward a private hospital.

The Hua Country doctor friend Miranda had mentioned—when Li Sheng had made up her mind to do the parentage test, she had contacted Miranda, and Miranda had also asked this friend for help.

“Doctor, how long will it take to get the results?”

The female doctor had neat, ear-length short hair. Her white coat was worn with every button fastened meticulously. There was no extra expression on her face, and she looked somewhat cold and serious. Although the eyes beneath her lenses seemed to hold a galaxy and were extremely beautiful, they were currently swept over by exhaustion.

“About fifteen days.” She pushed her glasses up extremely quickly, then casually capped her pen and put it into the drawer. When she spoke to Li Sheng, her voice was slightly hoarse. “When the specific results come out, I’ll notify you.”

“All right. Thank you, Doctor Bai.”

Li Sheng had met most of Miranda’s friends, and they were all passionate and fiery people. It was truly rare that someone with such a cold personality could be friends with Miranda.

After Bai Jing handled the proper business, her work for the day was finally completely over. She let out a breath of relief and leaned back against her chair to rest for a while.

“I often hear Miranda mention you. Seeing you in person is better than hearing about you a hundred times.” Bai Jing suddenly spoke. The corners of Li Sheng’s lips lifted slightly, and she smiled symbolically. “She definitely didn’t say anything good about me.”

Bai Jing smiled. “I’m off work now. Are you in a hurry to go back? Want to have a drink?”

Li Sheng hesitated for a while, but in the end, she chose to go have a drink with Bai Jing.

Bai Jing did not take her to a noisy bar. Instead, she found a small restaurant that was still open in an inconspicuous little alley.

As soon as they entered, the proprietress warmly asked, “Jingjing, you’re off work early today. Is this a new colleague?”

“A friend.” Bai Jing found a clean table that had already been cleared. After Li Sheng sat down, she familiarly went to get alcohol and cups.
