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

This once again proves that human nature is selfish.

Faced with the choice between "dying for a fellow Daoist" and "dying for myself," Qin Yuezhu and Zhao Jianqiang struggled for only a few minutes before unhesitatingly choosing the former.

It doesn't make sense that everyone benefited back then, but now only the couple is taking the blame.

Moreover, the couple only received a small portion of that money; the majority was taken by others.

Therefore, the current practice of rewarding whistleblowers for redeeming oneself from crimes means there is absolutely no psychological pressure involved.

Of course, the reason why Qin Yuezhu and her husband made such a decisive decision was also largely due to Qin Shengfeng's previous helpful assistance.

There's no problem with everyone working together to prevent Qin Wanqing from regaining power; they're very supportive of it.

But in the end, only the couple suffered losses, which is unacceptable.

They can reluctantly forgo their annual dividends, but a purchase price 10% below market value is simply outrageous.

Thus, adhering to the principle of "if you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust," Qin Yuezhu and her husband quickly reached an agreement with Qin Wanqing.

They transferred all of their 6% stake to Qin Wanqing at market price.

Afterwards, they will compile a list of materials and report their accomplices who were involved in the slush fund fraud back then.

If Qin Wanqing is satisfied, she will let them off the hook and not pursue their responsibility any further.

The third aunt and her husband, who initially made the most noise, ultimately couldn't escape giving up their shares and were the first to be eliminated from the power struggle among the Qin family's upper echelons.

But that's normal. Compared to others, this couple is a classic example of someone who's both bad at games and loves to have fun.

Let alone being far from qualified to covet the position of president of the Qin Group, he wouldn't even be qualified to be a lackey.

It's actually a good thing for them to get out of this mess now.

Otherwise, putting aside others for the moment, they might actually be "cursed" to death by Ye Bai.

Upon realizing this, Qin Wanqing, who had just walked out of the hospital, couldn't help but glance at Ye Bai beside her with a strange expression.

This guy's reputation as a "jinx" was perfectly exemplified in the case of Qin Yuezhu and her husband.

From the day they met, the couple was plagued by bad luck.

And each time, it seems to be related to Ye Bai.

Fortunately, this guy was in cahoots with her.

But soon, a strange feeling welled up in Qin Wanqing's heart.

This guy keeps saying he's not afraid of her being a jinx to her husbands, could it be because of her jinxed constitution?

"...Hey Qin Wanqing, why are you always staring at me like that? Even if you're fascinated by my handsome profile, you can't admire it like that on the street. Fine, we'll find some time when we get home, and I'll let you look at me to your heart's content."

"But let's make this clear first: you can only look, not touch, and certainly not kiss. I am a Taoist practitioner, and I do not associate with women. You mustn't let your vulgar desires ruin this pure relationship between us..."

Ye Bai felt a little uneasy under Qin Wanqing's gaze and couldn't help but start nagging.

"You surnamed Ye! Shut up if you don't want to die!!"

Qin Wanqing's pretty face turned red with anger, and she lost her temper again.

The saying "a dog's mouth can't produce ivory" is always perfectly exemplified in Ye Bai's case.

If someone who didn't know the details heard this, they would think she was a lecherous woman who was always plotting against Ye Bai.

"By the way, are you really not going to take that six percent of the shares? Grandma really wanted to buy them and give them to you."

After a brief banter, Qin Wanqing brought up the serious matter, a strange glint flashing in her beautiful eyes.

Not only in the Qin family, but also throughout the entire Jingzhou, Old Madam Qin was always the one who had the final say.

Therefore, since he had promised to buy the shares held by Qin Yuezhu and her husband and give them to Ye Bai in front of everyone, he would never go back on his word.

Even if it was a huge sum of money that countless people could not even imagine.

But in the end, Ye Bai didn't want it, which undoubtedly overturned Qin Wanqing's understanding.

“Grandma is getting old, we should leave her some money for her retirement. Besides, I don’t plan to work for Qin’s Group, so what use are those shares to me? It’s better to let you buy them, save Grandma money, and save me worry.”

Ye Bai smiled faintly.

That's an astronomical sum of money; it's impossible for him not to be tempted at all.

He could never spend all his money in his lifetime!

Unfortunately, he couldn't spend that money at all.

Another crucial point is that he didn't think that treating Old Madam Qin's illness was worthy of such an astonishing reward.

It's true that the old lady dotes on him, but he will never take advantage of that.

He has been able to clearly distinguish between what money he should and shouldn't take since he was old enough to understand.

From the very beginning, he had no intention of taking those shares.

"...You really are becoming more and more unfathomable."

Qin Wanqing was filled with mixed emotions and for a moment she didn't know how to evaluate Ye Bai.

The more she learned about him, the more she realized that he was a complex mix of contradictions.

Spending tens of thousands of yuan on entertaining guests is a painful expense for them. But when faced with the temptation of billions, they are not tempted at all.

Looks like we have to keep talking, otherwise we really can't figure out what's going on in this guy's head.

"Lulu hasn't come back yet. Could something have happened to her?"

Once in the car, Qin Wanqing checked the time, and her delicate brows slowly furrowed.

Given Shen Lu's boisterous personality, once she's finished with her work, she'll definitely call her or Ye Bai to ask where they are.

It's already past 4 PM, and there's still no movement, which is clearly not normal.

Logically speaking, it would take Shen Lu at most two hours to visit her father and back.

The little girl harbored a grudge against her father, and it was already the limit for her to visit him even once; she couldn't stay for long.

Do you know the address? Shall we go take a look?

After Qin Wanqing said that, Ye Bai also became a little worried.

Shen Lu's fighting skills are sufficient, but her intelligence is truly worrying.

Unfortunately, in today's society, physical skills are usually not very useful; intelligence is far more important.

That kind of "super intelligence" makes everything unexpected.

"I roughly know the area..."

Qin Wanqing thought about it carefully, but she was still a little unsure.

"It's alright, just ask around there, it shouldn't be hard to find out."

Ye Bai comforted.

Shen Lu and Shen Zhu are twins, and while twins are not uncommon these days, they are still quite rare.

Moreover, Shen Lu was almost sold by her father when she was a child, but was fortunate enough to be adopted by the Qin family, the most powerful family in Jingzhou. Such an experience can be described as legendary.

Ye Bai estimated that the area where the Shen family lived must be quite famous.

As it turned out, Ye Bai's judgment was correct. After arriving at the residential area that Qin Wanqing knew about, he only needed to ask a few people to find out the exact location of the Shen family's house.

However, Ye Bai and Qin Wanqing felt no joy; instead, they became increasingly worried.

According to the neighbors, a loud argument had been heard near the Shen family's residence not long ago...
