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

"Can you finally bear it?"

Ye Bai walked closer, examined it carefully, and then laughed.

The reason he brought these books to the Qin family and even displayed them openly in the room was because he had been waiting for this day.

It's difficult to guard against thieves for a thousand days, but it's much easier to get thieves to come out on their own.

All you need is enough bait.

Judging from the current situation, the fish he baited earlier have already started to bite.

Although it may not be possible to bring that "big fish" to the surface yet, it is still a good start.

As for the lost books, Ye Bai was not worried.

The texts recorded in these esoteric texts are difficult to understand, and the content is obscure and hard to comprehend.

Most importantly, even if someone manages to decipher it in the end, they will be disappointed to find that it contains only very ordinary things and does not involve any of the mysteries of the Xuanmen (Taoist sect).

To put it bluntly, these books look impressive, but their actual value isn't as amazing as people imagine.

How could Ye Bai so casually place the true treasures of the Xuanmen in his study?

Afterwards, Ye Bai called Shen Lu and asked her to come over.

After he moved in, he asked Feng Gu to install a hidden camera outside his room door and window.

Even the light above the bookshelf has one installed.

Although the scope is small, only the local area of ​​the bookshelf can be recorded, it is enough.

Ye Bai didn't go in to expose his other privacy to the surveillance cameras; all he wanted was to record the "book thief."

All of these surveillance cameras were connected to the computer in his room.

However, he didn't know how to use such high technology, so he naturally had to ask Shen Lu, that little girl, for help.

"Young master, I have reason to suspect that those black-robed Taoist priests were the ones who stole the books!"

Shen Lu fiddled with the computer while excitedly making guesses.

Ever since she discovered those black-robed Taoist priests sneaking into the Qin family, this little girl firmly believed that they must have ulterior motives.

Therefore, no matter what happened to the Qin family, she always felt that it was the work of those guys.

There's nothing she can do; her brain is just a tiny bit big.

But after a while, when she saw the scene in the surveillance video clearly, Shen Lu's mouth opened into an "O" shape, and she let out a stunned exclamation.

"Oh dear, it's not the black-robed Taoist priest, how... how come it's Young Master Xiu Zhao?"

In the video, a handsome young man sneaks up to Ye Bai's room, looks around, and then opens the door and goes inside.

Because of the perfect angle and sufficient clarity, Shen Lu recognized the other person's identity at a glance.

It was Qin Xiuzhao, the eldest son of the third branch of the Qin family.

The next video is the one taken by the camera above the bookshelf.

Qin Xiuzhao took two books from the bookshelf and quickly left.

From entering to leaving, the entire process took less than two minutes. Not only were they quick and efficient, but their goals were also extremely clear.

This means that either Qin Xiuzhao was not entering Ye Bai's room for the first time, or he was very familiar with the layout and furnishings of the room.

Otherwise, it would be absolutely impossible to do it so quickly.

"So it was this kid..."

Ye Bai was also somewhat surprised.

However, this confirms that Shen Lu's sight of Qin Xiuzhao and the black-robed Taoist together in the Ghost Market was not a hallucination.

This young master of the Qin family does indeed have some connections with people in the Xuanmen sect.

"Young Master, let's take the video and bring Young Master Xiu Zhao here for questioning!"

Shen Lu copied the two video clips to her USB drive, stood up, and said angrily.

Although Qin Xiuzhao is the young master of the Qin family, Ye Bai is only the son-in-law of the Qin family, and there is a significant difference in their status.

But for Shen Lu, choosing sides was not a concern at all.

Apart from Old Madam Qin, only the young lady and her son-in-law are her relatives.

As for the other members of the Qin family, they all have to step aside.

"Don't rush, don't alert them."

Ye Bai thought for a moment and then shook his head.

Qin Xiuzhao isn't stupid; he wouldn't stay in the Qin family manor after stealing things.

If they go to the third branch of the Qin family now, they will definitely find nothing there.

Since that's the case, it's better to pretend that nothing happened for now, and wait until Qin Xiuzhao feels that everything is fine, then he will take the initiative to come forward.

Moreover, Old Madam Qin still has one last dose of medicine to take tomorrow, and Ye Bai doesn't want to cause chaos in the Qin family at this critical juncture, lest the old lady get seriously ill from anger.

Especially after tonight, it means that the bet between Qin Shengtu, Qin Shengfeng, and others will finally come to a conclusion.

Under normal circumstances, those high-ranking members of the Qin family were destined to lose.

At such a critical moment, who knows if those guys might suddenly have another brain fart and take a risky gamble.

So everything else has to wait and see.

After instructing Shen Lu not to tell anyone about this, he sent the little girl away and began to catch up on his sleep.

Qin Group Headquarters.

Qin Wanqing had just finished some business and was about to make herself a cup of coffee when a knock came at the door.

Then, a man with his face still wrapped in gauze stepped in.

"Director Zhao? How come you're being discharged from the hospital so soon?"

Although most of his face was covered by gauze, Qin Wanqing, having worked with him for a long time, quickly recognized him from details such as his eyes.

Zhao Chengfeng.

"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Qin, but I'm fine now."

Zhao Chengfeng nodded, intending to respond with a smile to show his good manners, but instead aggravated his wound, causing him to wince in pain.

When Yang Renxiao beat Zhao Chengfeng to please Ye Bai, he didn't hold back at all.

Even though they didn't use any weapons at the time, they still managed to beat Zhao Chengfeng quite badly.

Several teeth were knocked out, the bridge of the nose was broken, and there were various soft tissue contusions.

Although I have been resting for a while, I am still far from being fully recovered, and it is even difficult for me to be discharged from the hospital.

Zhao Chengfeng couldn't hold back any longer and spent a long time discussing it with the dean before finally getting him to agree.

The first thing Zhao Chengfeng did after being discharged from the hospital was to go back to work at the company.

He had to make sure everyone saw him in this miserable state.

It is especially important that Qin Wanqing sees this.

Although this image diminishes his previous handsome and dashing appearance, it can be very beneficial if used properly.

The first thing is to let everyone in the Qin Group know that the reason I suffered such serious injuries is entirely due to the new son-in-law of the Qin family.

Although Yang Renxiao was the one who did it, it was Ye Bai who was behind it.

This is tantamount to hiring someone to commit murder; the employer's crime is far greater than the killer's.

No one likes a vicious criminal, especially a legitimate company like the Qin Group.

Once a bad reputation gets out, it's hard to salvage it.

Secondly, he knew that Qin Wanqing admired men who valued work above all else, so working despite his injury was undoubtedly a good idea.

However, these are not the main reasons.

"President Qin, I have some important information to tell you, it's about Ye Bai..."
