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

Based solely on Tian Hongyu's past, it is impossible to determine that he is the mastermind behind the murder of Qin Wanqing.

However, they can undoubtedly be listed as suspects.

Compared to Qin Shengtu, Qin Shengfeng, and others who are always in the open, these guys hiding in the shadows are the more dangerous ones.

"By the way, what's your uncle doing now? Is he still in Jingzhou?"

Ye Bai grabbed another handful of melon seeds, cracking them open as he asked.

"Nobody knows what he's doing. Ever since that batch of public funds was recovered and Grandma kicked him out, he's completely cut off all contact with the Qin family."

"Even my aunt and Tian Yurou don't seem to know what Tian Hongyu has been doing all these years. He's always on business trips and doesn't come back even once a year."

Qin Wanqing shook her head and grabbed a handful of melon seeds as well.

Seeing others eat this is really hard to resist.

Moreover, once you hit one, you lose control even more.

So what should have been a proper analysis meeting to find the real culprit turned into a tea party...

"Son-in-law, you're not going out this afternoon, are you? I'd like to ask for leave..."

In the afternoon, Shen Lu leaned close to Ye Bai and asked in a low voice.

"It's alright, you can go about your business. You don't need to pick me up tonight, I can go back with your young lady."

Ye Bai smiled and shook his head.

He guessed that Shen Lu probably wanted to go back and see her father, since Shen Zhu had mentioned that her father's health had been poor recently when she left.

Although Shen Lu did not want to acknowledge the other party, how could blood ties be truly severed so easily?

However, since the little girl didn't want to say it outright, Ye Bai naturally didn't press her further, as it was a private matter.

"Did something happen to Lulu?"

After Shen Lu left, Qin Wanqing, who had processed several documents, looked up and asked with some confusion.

Shen Lu's social interactions are very simple, almost nonexistent, and she basically stays at the Qin family's house.

Previously, he was either by Qin Wanqing's side or by Old Madam Qin's side. Since Ye Bai arrived, he has become Qin Wanqing's personal driver and bodyguard.

So this sudden, secretive decision to go out alone is clearly a bit unusual.

Ye Bai didn't hide anything and told Qin Wanqing about his encounter with Shen Lu's younger sister, Shen Zhu.

"Lulu is the most pitiful. Her unreliable father is a gambling addict. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so heartless as to try to sell Lulu for money back then!"

"If you really get sick, then you deserve it!"

Qin Wanqing snorted coldly, clearly familiar with the Shen family's situation.

Ye Bai was stunned. He suddenly realized that the brainless little girl's background was clearly even more pitiful than his.

Fortunately, I was lucky enough to end up in the Qin family; otherwise, I don't know where I would be suffering now.

He always seems a bit dim-witted, making him easy to be taken advantage of and even help count the money.

"Shall we go to the hospital in a bit?"

Qin Wanqing didn't want to talk about Shen Lu's father anymore, so she looked at Ye Bai and asked.

"Go see your third aunt and third aunt's husband?"

Ye Bai was taken aback, but quickly realized what he meant and nodded with a smile, "It's time to go. Six percent of the shares is no small sum of money."

……

Jingzhou Municipal Hospital.

"Sixth Brother, what exactly did Fifth Brother say? When are we finally going to be discharged? Lying here all day like this, we're bound to get sick even if we weren't already..."

Inside the ward, Qin Yuezhu and Zhao Jianqiang, a married couple, each had a hospital bed and kept complaining to Qin Shengfeng, who was sitting on the sofa.

Although the two still looked rather listless, their complexions had become much rosier.

After all, they were taken to the hospital in a timely manner, and given the Qin family's status and wealth, they received the best medicine. Qin Yuezhu and her husband recovered quite quickly.

Therefore, the two of them did not need to lie in bed for ten days or half a month as Ye Bai had estimated; they recovered almost completely in about a week.

But Qin Shengtu refused to let them leave the hospital, which was naturally a difficult experience.

"Third sister, third brother-in-law, how can you forget things so easily? It hasn't been that long, and you've already forgotten the bet with that brat Ye Bai?"

"Do you want to be discharged now because you want to obediently hand over your shares to Ye Bai?"

Qin Shengfeng leaned back on the sofa, crossed his legs, and sneered as he ate grapes.

"That kid actually dares to want our shares? Is he desperate for money? A mere adopted son of the Ye family dares to covet my Qin family's shares. Are you just going to stand by and watch him take them?"

Upon hearing the word "shares," Qin Yuezhu jolted awake, abruptly sitting up in bed and screaming.

"No way! Those shares are our lifeblood; we absolutely cannot give them to him!"

Zhao Jianqiang's face turned ashen, and a fierce glint even began to flash in his eyes.

After years of hard work in the Qin family, although they have no shortage of luxury cars and villas, what is most important to them is still the shares of the Qin Group.

Putting aside the astonishing value of the shares themselves, the more crucial point is that they receive a very substantial dividend every year, which is by no means a small amount of money.

Although Old Madam Qin promised to buy their shares at market price, there were no more dividends after that, resulting in huge losses!

Ye Bai wants to take away the shares, which is a classic case of cutting off someone's source of income!

This is an absolute blood feud!

"Whether or not to give it is probably not up to you. Of course, neither Fifth Brother nor I can decide; it all depends on the old lady's opinion."

Qin Shengfeng wore a gloating expression.

Although he knew that if Qin Wanqing were to acquire those six percent of the shares, it would be a terrible thing for them, there was actually a solution to the problem.

"What should we do then? Are we really just going to let that jinx get away with this?"

Qin Yuezhu and Zhao Jianqiang's expressions grew increasingly grim, yet they couldn't think of any good solutions for the time being.

If they were only dealing with Qin Wanqing and Ye Bai, they could still deny it and refuse to admit their mistake.

But this tactic was clearly ineffective against Old Madam Qin.

"Look at the two of you, so pathetic! Forget it, I won't tease you anymore. Fifth Brother said he has a solution, but it depends on whether you two are willing to cooperate."

Seeing that Qin Yuezhu and Zhao Jianqiang were both on the verge of tears, Qin Shengfeng couldn't help but chuckle strangely.

"any solution?"

Qin Yuezhu and Zhao Jianqiang, not caring about arguing with Qin Shengfeng at this moment, hurriedly asked.

"It's actually very simple. The premise of this bet is that you hold shares. Once you lose the shares, the bet naturally ceases to exist, doesn't it?"

Qin Shengfeng took out a cigar, disregarding that this was a hospital ward, and cut it open, lit it, and started smoking while talking.

"The shares are gone?"

Qin Yuezhu and Zhao Jianqiang were both bewildered, looking at each other in confusion.

"...You guys are so stupid. Fifth Brother always says he's better than me, but I haven't seen him any better."

Qin Shengfeng took a puff of his cigar, his face full of disdain.

He always thought he was quite smart, but Qin Shengtu always called him stupid. Now it seems that his third sister and brother-in-law were undoubtedly even more stupid.

"Here's a share transfer agreement. Just sign it, transfer the shares to Fifth Brother, and everything will be fine. It's that simple!"

Qin Shengfeng took a folder out of his bag and handed it to Qin Yuezhu and the other person.
