After being forced into a marriage of convenience, a master of metaphysics manipulates a cold and al

"You're going to help us? I think you're trying to screw us over!"

Qin Yuezhu looked at Ye Bai, the hatred in her triangular eyes almost tangible.

"Ye Bai, do you really think we're fools?"

Zhao Jianqiang's face was also gloomy, his teeth were clenched, and he even had an urge to pick up a wine bottle and smash it hard on the other person's face.

Their ability to wield power in the Qin Group is certainly due to their status, but they also possess considerable ability.

At least, he's not the kind of person who's brainless.

When Ye Bai proposed the betting agreement, they thought that Ye Bai's adopted son was helping them.

But when Qin Wanqing actually stood up, they realized that they had probably been tricked by Ye Bai.

This kid is no lucky star, he's a total jinx!

"Third Aunt and Third Uncle, please don't be angry. I originally planned to have Wanqing transfer her shares to you so that she could focus on her recovery."

"But no one expected the Ye family mansion to be so miraculous, allowing Wanqing to recover her health so quickly. But I think this should be a good thing rather than a bad thing, right?"

Ye Bai's eyes were clear, and his face looked completely innocent.

You should never admit to doing something underhanded, no matter what.

"Of course it's a good thing for you!"

Qin Yuezhu snorted coldly, but she couldn't openly admit that Qin Wanqing's leg recovery was a bad thing.

It doesn't matter how sordid things are behind the scenes, but on the surface, we're all still one family.

Ye Bai laughed and said, "How about this? I'll act as a go-between for you and help you make a deal with Wan Qing."

"What kind of deal?" Qin Yuezhu and Zhao Jianqiang exchanged glances, somewhat puzzled.

"Hand over the real culprit who paralyzed Wanqing, and I'll make her give up the acquisition of your shares..."

Ye Bai lowered his voice, his gaze fixed on Qin Yuezhu and Zhao Jianqiang's eyes.

"The real culprit? What do you mean? Wasn't Wanqing's paralysis due to her fate of bringing misfortune to her husband?"

Qin Yuezhu and Zhao Jianqiang looked at each other, clearly bewildered.

"They didn't do it..."

A strange light flashed in Ye Bai's eyes; he seemed rather puzzled.

Based on the simplest reasoning that "those who are most interested in profit are the most suspicious," Qin Yuezhu and Zhao Jianqiang, who were the most vocal, should be the masterminds behind the scenes.

However, judging from their reactions, this does not seem to be the case.

The mastermind is someone else.

"Hey Ye, tell Qin Wanqing! You deliberately set us up and plotted against us. We won't honor that bet!"

"Trying to seize our shares is pure fantasy! The Qin family, and even Jingzhou, are not places where she can control everything!"

After uttering these harsh words, Qin Yuezhu and Zhao Jianqiang got up and left.

"They're planning to renege on their promise..."

Ye Bai shook his head and returned to his room.

Miss Qin would never agree to live with him, and he had no intention of doing so.

He came to the Qin family only to make money off Qin Wanqing; he didn't care about anything else.

His room was very large; it was a suite.

It has everything you need, including a study and a living room, and the area is no less than 200 square meters.

The decorations are elegant yet luxurious, showcasing impeccable taste.

Although many people in the Qin family looked down on him as the adopted son of the Ye family, including Qin Wanqing, they also disliked him very much.

However, they were not harsh on him regarding basic living conditions.

Of course, this was also related to the fact that Old Madam Qin liked him.

Ye Bai took out all the ancient books from the suitcase and carefully arranged them one by one on the bookshelf, even marking them.

While at the Ye family's residence, Ye Bai was certain, based on Yang Guangyao's reaction, that this was the person who stole the ancient book.

Whether the Ye family and the Qin family are colluding will be clear when we see if these books are stolen again.

After arranging the books, Ye Bai took a relaxing shower. Just as he wrapped himself in a towel and stepped out, the doorbell rang.

Ye Bai opened the door and immediately saw Qin Wanqing's exquisite and beautiful face.

"Is something wrong?"

While drying his hair, Ye Bai asked with some confusion.

"...Can't you just put on some clothes?"

As her gaze swept over Ye Bai's bare upper body, Qin Wanqing frowned slightly, her pretty face flushing a little.

Ye Bai's physique was not particularly robust, but his body was extremely well-proportioned.

His chest muscles, abdominal muscles, and even V-line are all present and present, and the proportions are perfect.

Especially now, with beads of sweat and moisture, they exude an even stronger allure of male hormones.

"...Come on, I'm in my own room, it's none of your business if I'm naked, right?"

Ye Bai was speechless for a moment, increasingly witnessing the unreasonable side of Queen Qin.

"...You really can't expect anything good to come out of a dog's mouth! Put your clothes on, I have something important to tell you."

Qin Wanqing rolled her eyes in anger, went into the room, and began to give orders.

"Speak, what are your orders, Your Majesty?"

Ye Bai, wearing a bathrobe, sat down in front of Qin Wanqing with a grin.

"...Can't you be serious for once? Are your third aunt and uncle planning to renege on their debt?"

Qin Wanqing frowned; she hated Ye Bai's nonchalant attitude towards everything.

"Yes, and it seems like they have something to rely on."

Ye Bai nodded and repeated Qin Yuezhu's words before she left.

"Heh, I expected it. Their reliance is only on two things."

"First, there's the governor in charge of Jingzhou, and second, there are the two elders, Han and Yang."

Qin Wanqing sneered.

"...Wait a minute, what the hell is this 'Han and Yang Elders'? Are you sure it's not the 'Xuanming Elders'?"

Ye Bai was completely bewildered.

He could understand the words "Governor of Jingzhou," as that was the highest-ranking official in Jingzhou, a true bigwig.

If the Qin family's higher-ups could ask him to step in, Qin Wanqing wouldn't dare to refuse.

But he really couldn't understand the second one.

"...Xuanming, your face is covered in grime!"

Qin Wanqing glared at Ye Bai and began to explain.

"The shares of the Qin Group are roughly divided into three parts."

“I have 41 percent, and the other high-ranking members of the Qin family have 39 percent.”

"In addition, another 20% was not in the hands of the Qin family, but was distributed to two elders who made great contributions to the Qin family in the past..."

After listening, Ye Bai finally understood.

It turns out that the so-called "Han and Yang Elders" was just an honorific title.

One was surnamed Han, and the other was surnamed Yang; both were veterans from outside the Qin family who helped them conquer the world.

According to the rule that those with a high percentage of shares can hold power, as long as the two elders, Han and Yang, don't get involved, no matter how much the Qin family's higher-ups try to control Qin Wanqing, they won't be able to suppress her.

However, after Qin Wanqing became paralyzed, Elder Yang, one of the two elders, clearly chose to support the Qin family's higher-ups.

Old Han remained neutral and did not participate in the internal disputes of the Qin family.

This brought the shareholding ratio of the Qin family's senior management to 49%, which enabled them to remove Qin Wanqing from the position of president at the board meeting.

If Qin Wanqing wants to reclaim her position, she either needs to persuade the neutral Elder Han to support her, or she needs to get Elder Yang, who is aligned with the Qin family's higher-ups, to return to neutrality...

Of course, acquiring the shares held by Qin Yuezhu and Zhao Jianqiang is also an option.

But judging from the current situation, these guys are clearly determined to deny everything.

With written evidence, Qin Wanqing could choose to sue them.

But putting aside the legal implications of such a bet, the most crucial issue is that if these guys were to take it to Old Madam Qin's place, they could easily drive the old lady to her death.

"So what do you want me to do for you? Make a voodoo doll and curse them all to death?"

Ye Bai rubbed his hands together, his killing intent palpable, and asked.

"Curse you my foot!"

Qin Wanqing gritted her teeth, increasingly finding that talking to this guy was truly exhausting.
