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

Many of those who came were acquaintances, led by Qin Shengtu and Qin Shengfeng, along with several security guards, including Zhao Chengfeng.

"Fifth Uncle, Sixth Uncle, what are you doing? This is a workplace. Is it appropriate to be shouting like this? Have you forgotten the company's rules and regulations?"

Qin Wanqing frowned and said coldly.

"Wanqing, this is probably what we need to say to you! Bringing unrelated outsiders to the company is strictly prohibited!"

"That's fine, after all, Ye Bai is the Qin family's son-in-law, we can turn a blind eye to it."

"But not only did he wander around the headquarters building, he also stole a confidential investment document, which is no small matter!"

Qin Shengtu's face was grim as he spoke in a deep voice.

"Stealing classified documents? Ye Bai did it? Are you sure?"

Qin Wanqing was taken aback, and her pretty face slowly turned cold.

"You're slandering him! The son-in-law hasn't stolen anything at all!"

Shen Lu's face flushed red with anger, and she barely managed to hold back from punching Qin Shengtu's hateful face.

She and Ye Bai stayed together while strolling around the Qin Group headquarters building.

Moreover, the only office they ever went into was Qin Xiuzhao's.

Apart from a photo of Han Mengmeng, they didn't touch anything there.

So these guys are absolutely spouting nonsense.

"Shut up! This is a matter for the senior management of our Qin Group. You, a mere bodyguard, have no right to interfere!"

Qin Shengfeng sternly rebuked her, for he had never had any affection for this little girl whom Old Madam Qin had treated as a member of the Qin family.

If just any Tom, Dick, or Harry can become a member of the Qin family, then what are these Qin family members with impeccable lineage?

He dared not say such things to the old lady, and in the end, he could only grow more and more disgusted with these people who originally had nothing to do with the Qin family.

This includes both Shen Lu and Ye Bai.

"I……"

Shen Lu's eyes reddened with anger. Just as she was about to continue arguing, Ye Bai gently tugged at her, signaling her to calm down.

Afterwards, Ye Bai ignored Qin Shengtu and Qin Shengfeng, and instead began to look at Zhao Chengfeng with great interest.

"What does Mr. Ye mean by looking at me like that?"

Zhao Chengfeng pretended to be calm and habitually adjusted his glasses, only to realize that because he was wearing a mask, he had already replaced his gold-rimmed glasses with contact lenses.

Ye Bai's eyes were calm, without any anger, but the more calm he was, the more Zhao Chengfeng felt a chill run down his spine.

"Director Zhao, do you think everything I said before was just bullshit?"

Ye Bai smiled slightly, his eyes growing even more profound.

He didn't even need to figure out what was going on to know that it must have been Zhao Chengfeng who did it.

When he and Shen Lu went to Qin Xiuzhao's office, only Zhao Chengfeng ran into them; it would be truly a miracle if it wasn't him.

The purpose of doing this, of course, was to get revenge on him.

"I don't understand what you mean by that, Mr. Ye."

Zhao Chengfeng shook his head, no longer as nervous as he had been at the beginning.

He suddenly realized that this was Qin Wanqing's office.

With Qin Wanqing around, Ye Bai and Shen Lu didn't dare to lay a hand on him.

Moreover, it is absolutely unacceptable for an outsider to dare to beat up an internal employee at the Qin Group headquarters.

He was beaten by Yang Renxiao last time, and the latter received a severe punishment.

That's because Yang Renxiao is also an employee of the Qin Group. If it were an outsider like Ye Bai, the legal department would definitely pursue the matter to the end.

Even if Ye Bai is the son-in-law of the Qin family, it doesn't matter. The Qin Group is no longer in the era where Qin Wanqing alone makes the decisions.

More importantly, Zhao Chengfeng and his group were well-prepared for this trip, bringing seven or eight security guards with them.

With these strong and burly guys around, he didn't believe Ye Bai and Shen Lu had the ability to do anything to him.

It's important to know that the security guards at the Qin Group are not just for show; the hiring requirements are extremely strict.

Not only must they be veterans or former Sanda athletes, but they must also meet age requirements and have no physical disabilities; each of them must be skilled in martial arts.

"Is that so? Then it seems I should make you understand what the consequences will be if you ignore what I say."

Ye Bai smiled faintly and stood up.

"Ye Bai, what do you think you're doing? Don't you know where you are? You stole our company's confidential documents, and you think you can cause trouble here?"

Qin Shengfeng shouted sternly.

Zhao Chengfeng might still be a little afraid of Ye Bai, but he completely disregarded him.

In terms of seniority, he is Qin Wanqing's sixth uncle, a true elder of the Qin family.

In terms of status, he was from the sixth branch of the Qin family, which was many times higher than that of an adopted son of the Ye family.

Ye Bai would be incredibly audacious to attack him.

"Sixth Uncle, who told you Ye Bai stole confidential documents? What evidence do you have?"

Qin Wanqing spoke again, her pretty face growing increasingly cold.

As she spoke, her gaze swept over Zhao Chengfeng and the security guards.

When the security guards saw Qin Wanqing looking over, they instinctively took a few steps back and quickly lowered their heads.

Undoubtedly, although Qin Wanqing is no longer the president of the Qin Group, her influence remains.

Especially for security guards at the bottom who just want to earn a meager wage, Queen Qin's intimidation power is still very strong.

In other words, the person who called them up was also a leader, and they couldn't afford to offend either side; otherwise, they would have turned around and run away long ago.

Internal strife within the Qin family's upper echelons is no secret within the Qin Group.

The vast majority of employees do not want to get involved in this mess.

After all, everyone knows that when gods fight, it's usually the mortals who suffer.

Even Zhao Chengfeng felt a pang of unease, suddenly realizing that he had acted too impulsively.

He already had a follow-up plan to deal with Ye Bai, so it was very unwise for him to jump out at this time.

But the anger caused by Ye Bai's constant humiliation could not be quelled so quickly; instead, it burned brighter and brighter, driving him to a state of madness.

He suspected he might die of anger if he didn't vent his frustration.

"Of course we have evidence. Can we just smear someone out of thin air?"

Qin Shengfeng sneered and looked at Zhao Chengfeng, saying, "Director Zhao, you can speak now."

"……Yes."

Zhao Chengfeng responded and took two steps forward.

Now that things have come to this, there's no turning back; he can only grit his teeth and continue this farce.

"Mr. Qin, it's like this: Deputy Manager Qin and his team have spent a lot of time and effort developing a confidential investment plan. According to conservative estimates, it can bring the group three to five percent of net profit."

"This is also a key project for the group in the second half of the year, the kind that absolutely cannot be lost. It's just that Deputy Manager Qin finished the plan last night and then went on a business trip today, so he called me to pick it up from his office."

"When I got there, I ran into Mr. Ye and Ms. Shen coming out of Deputy Manager Qin's office. I searched the entire office but couldn't find the proposal, so..."
