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

"What did you two do in District 8 today? Why didn't you drive?"

During the meal, Qin Wanqing looked at Ye Bai and asked with some confusion.

She knew Shen Lu well; unless something happened to Shen Fugui and Shen Zhu, this little girl would basically never go there.

And the fact that she didn't drive herself, but instead had to send a car from her company, is even more inexplicable.

"Nothing much. I took Lulu for a ride on our electric scooter. We happened to be in District 8, so we stopped by to see Shen Zhu."

"Later, we got tired of walking around and wanted to go home early, so we asked you to send a car over."

Ye Bai kept stuffing things into his mouth while giving a vague explanation.

Unlike Yan Yangshuo, the scoundrels of the Xuanmen sect pose virtually no direct threat to Qin Wanqing.

Moreover, these guys are likely connected to Chen Jingmei in some way. Telling Qin Wanqing before figuring it out would be pointless and would only cause her more trouble.

"Why don't you just take a taxi back? That would save time. Besides, why did you kick the driver out when I sent him over?"

Qin Wanqing was not easily fooled and immediately seized on two minor flaws.

"Lulu hates taxi drivers, and her hands started itching after not driving for a day."

Ye Bai unhesitatingly pinned all the blame on Shen Lu.

"Lulu, is this for real?"

Qin Wanqing looked at Shen Lu, clearly not quite believing it.

"Yes, it's true..."

Shen Lu pursed her lips, hesitated for a second, but still didn't expose her son-in-law.

It's a custom that the youngest member of the family takes the blame after someone does something wrong.

Of course, she also knew that the reason why the young master was keeping it from the young lady was because he didn't want her to be distracted by other things.

Qin Shengshui's return has made the situation of the Qin Group more complicated, and Miss will have to spend more energy there.

"...I always felt that you two were hiding something from me."

Qin Wanqing remained skeptical, but did not press the matter further.

Everyone can have some little secrets. Anyway, with Shen Lu around, she wasn't worried that Ye Bai would do anything bad behind her back.

When Ye Bai completely abandons Shen Lu and stops taking her with him, that's when things will really get complicated.

"By the way, did you contact Han Mengmeng today?"

After eating for a while, Qin Wanqing suddenly looked at Ye Bai and asked.

"...Why would I contact her for no reason?"

Ye Bai was somewhat confused. He wanted to avoid that little girl at all costs, so he wouldn't dare to provoke her.

"You surnamed Ye, are you goldfish brain? You just took money from me yesterday, and you're already planning to go on strike today?"

Qin Wanqing frowned and snorted coldly in displeasure.

"Oh, you mean this? I almost forgot."

Ye Bai then remembered that he had taken on a big job yesterday: "ordered to pick up girls".

I was so busy tricking Ye Xuanyuan and capturing Lu Sita today that I completely forgot about this.

"How about... I call her after I finish eating?"

Ye Bai thought for a moment, then asked cautiously.

"What do you want from calling her? To ask her out to a movie or late-night snack?"

Qin Wanqing asked with a half-smile.

"Hmm, this feels pretty good."

Ye Bai's eyes lit up instantly.

It wasn't because of his date with Han Mengmeng, but because of the phrase "having a late-night snack"!

For a true and seasoned foodie, it's essential to plan what to eat next before even finishing the current meal.

"Good my foot! I did tell you to keep in touch with her, but that doesn't mean you should actually date her!"

Qin Wanqing rolled her eyes and scolded him irritably.

At this moment, she also began to doubt the decision she had made yesterday.

If Ye Bai is given a good reason to contact that little vixen, will it backfire in the end?

With his pitiful intelligence and insignificant skill level, he probably wouldn't stand a chance against Han Mengmeng.

"Then tell me what I should do when I look for her?"

Ye Bai was in a real bind. Dealing with such an unreasonable boss, they, as employees, must have committed some terrible sin in their past lives.

"How am I supposed to know what you're up to? Figure it out yourself! What use are you if I have to teach you everything!"

Qin Wanqing snorted again, arrogantly raising her fair and delicate chin.

"...I really want to spank this woman's ass!"

Ye Bai was in tears. He knew that doing business with Queen Qin was becoming increasingly difficult, and making money was getting harder and harder.

After eating and drinking their fill, Ye Bai and Shen Lu went to check on their vegetable garden as usual, and took a stroll to digest their food.

Qin Wanqing didn't come along today, clearly indicating that her purpose last night was to prevent Ye Bai from secretly going to see Han Mengmeng.

"Son-in-law, what exactly do you plan to do with Lu Sita? We can't just keep him locked up in the garage forever, can we?"

With her mistress not around, Shen Lu could finally talk about the "little secrets" between her and her son-in-law.

"No rush, let's lock him up for a few days and find out if the information he gave us is true or false."

Ye Bai thought for a moment and then said.

After Lu Sita chose to surrender immediately, he answered almost every question Ye Bai asked.

Brotherhood and loyalty, the ideals of the "New Xuanmen"—all of that is utter nonsense!

Nothing is more important than my own life!

From Lu Sita's words, Ye Bai was completely certain that Shang Sanning was indeed hiding in Guangmang Pharmaceutical Company.

Their goal was to obtain the precious medicinal herbs they needed from there.

As for why they wanted to obtain these medicinal herbs, Lu Sita didn't know much. He had only vaguely heard his boss, Sun Yibiao, mention that a wealthy patron was offering a large sum of money to buy them.

If they can close this deal, they won't have to worry about money for the rest of their lives.

This is undoubtedly an irresistible temptation for those scoundrels in the Taoist sect who are addicted to pleasure and indulge in a life of luxury.

So far, things are going smoothly on Shang Sanning's side. They just need to wait for an opportunity to get their hands on those medicinal herbs.

However, an unexpected turn of events occurred at the medical school.

The medical student Dong Yang, whom they originally intended to exploit, was poisoned to death by his cheating ex-girlfriend, which ruined their entire plan.

Therefore, the eldest brother, Sun Yibiao, and the second brother, Zhong Erbin, had to personally take charge and tackle the toughest challenge.

Because of his shrewd and diplomatic personality, Lu Sita was positioned as a "liaison diplomat" within this group.

When Sun Yibiao needed to use him, he would give him instructions. When he had nothing else to do, he would have him try to infiltrate the circles of the wealthy families in Jingzhou.

This way, you can not only encounter opportunities to make big money, but you will also become more well-informed.

This is also the reason why Lu Sita became acquainted with Ye Xuanyuan.

Unfortunately, Lu Sita didn't know where Sun Yibiao and Zhong Erbin were hiding either; he only knew that they would definitely go to the medical school.

As for the mysterious "Mr. Nangong," Lu Sita knew of this person but had never met him. Sun Yibiao, on the other hand, was familiar with him and knew his specific information.

Besides that, Ye Bai did figure out why Ye Xuanyuan was in such a hurry to take back the Mingtaishan Resort.

That area has been planned...
