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

"If it weren't for the two of you being here, I would have even thought I was hallucinating..."

Watching Li Decai and Wu Cailu's dejected figures, Tong Yan's pretty face kept changing expressions, and her mood was a mix of emotions.

She had been at Jingzhou TV station for a while now, and she had only seen Li Decai suffer setbacks twice.

The first time was when she dragged Ye Bai to be a radio guest, the second time was when he dragged Ye Bai to be a TV guest...

Describing Ye Bai as "Director Li's nemesis" doesn't seem like an exaggeration.

"By the way, what exactly is 'Spring Day Water'?"

Tong Yan couldn't resist her curiosity and looked at Ye Bai to ask.

Shen Lu also perked up her little ears, looking very focused.

"It's an aphrodisiac, the one Old Li secretly bought from the ghost market last time."

Ye Bai was speechless. What kind of memory does he have?

"Oh, that's what it was..."

Tong Yan and Shen Lu suddenly realized what had happened.

"Don't be careless. Li Decai is still unsure whether I have any evidence, so he's a bit wary. Once he's sure I don't have any evidence, he'll definitely choose to retaliate."

Ye Bai gave Tong Yan a reminder.

Today they seem to have the upper hand, but it also means they've completely broken ties and become enemies.

He didn't care. Even if a TV station director had a lot of power, he couldn't be controlled by him.

But Tong Yan is different. They work in the same company, so it wouldn't be difficult for her to do something underhanded.

If Li Decai goes all out and uses any means necessary, Tong Yan should be on guard.

"It's okay. I'll take a vacation after this show is finished. Li Decai won't be able to find me then."

Tong Yan smiled and shook her head, clearly not taking that Director Li seriously.

Seeing this, Ye Bai didn't say anything more; it was enough to fulfill his responsibility as a friend by giving a reminder.

This matter was not caused by him; it stemmed from the dispute between Tong Yan and Li Decai over the position of deputy director.

Without Li Decai and Wu Cailu causing trouble, Tong Yan invited professional magicians and acrobats to come over and let them get acquainted with Ye Bai and Shen Lu.

Just as Tong Yan judged, the program she chose based on her personal characteristics was quite fitting.

After just one rehearsal, Ye Bai and Shen Lu had basically no problems.

However, their states of mind were completely different.

Shen Lu was jumping around on the stage, very happy, while Ye Bai seemed a bit listless.

There was no way around it; throwing knives while masked was hardly a challenge for him.

In particular, he was the target.

This made it easy for him to recall the childhood trauma of being abused by the old master, a classic case of past events he couldn't bear to look back on.

After getting to know each other for a morning, Tong Yan originally wanted to invite Ye Bai and the other person to lunch nearby, but after some discussion, the two foodies decided to simply go to the Qin Group headquarters for a free meal.

The food in the cafeteria there tastes just as good as what you get in restaurants outside, and more importantly, it's free.

The essence of the phrase "mooching a meal" lies in the word "mooching".

……

"I knew you two would come running over..."

Seeing Ye Bai and Shen Lu, Qin Wanqing, who had been busy all morning, rubbed her temples and felt even more exhausted.

They have to come all the way to the Qin Group headquarters just to have lunch. Didn't these two guys ever consider that the cost of gas isn't cheaper than the cost of food?

This is nothing! It's like getting a free meal for nothing.

However, Qin Wanqing was still a little happy to have lunch with Ye Bai and Shen Lu.

Of course, she wouldn't admit that she was getting more and more used to being with Ye Bai and had subconsciously come to regard him as a member of the family; she just thought she was being silly.

The three of them had just gotten their food in the cafeteria and had barely taken a few bites when Ye Bai's phone suddenly rang.

As soon as the call connected, it turned out to be Ye Bai's adoptive mother, Madam Yang Fenglan of the Ye family, calling from there.

"Where are you, Xiaobai?"

Yang Fenglan's tone was very anxious, and there was even a hint of crying in her voice.

"I'm at the Qin Group headquarters, Mom. What's wrong? Did something happen?"

Ye Bai asked, somewhat puzzled.

Since Ye Wentian and his wife came to the Qin family to ask Old Madam Qin for help, they have not contacted Ye Bai again.

Ye Bai didn't really care about this, as he didn't have much affection for the Ye family anyway.

Moreover, after coming to the Qin family to stand in for the marriage, he had finally made a clean break with the Ye family.

Even if the two sides don't need to become strangers, they can no longer be considered family.

Yang Fenglan suddenly called him today, which was clearly unusual.

"It's your older brother! Something's happened to your older brother! Someone's trying to kill him! We're both in the hospital right now, can you come right away?"

Yang Fenglan's voice was trembling, clearly still in a state of lingering fear.

“...Okay, I’ll head over now.”

Ye Bai's expression instantly became incredibly interesting. After pondering for a moment, he did not refuse.

"what happened?"

Seeing Ye Bai hang up the phone, Qin Wanqing put down her chopsticks and asked in confusion.

"Hmm, if I'm not mistaken, it seems Yan Yangshuo really has made a move against Ye Xuanyuan..."

Ye Bai's tone was somewhat complicated. That serial killer had indeed not disappointed him.

Ye Bai's real purpose wasn't to use Yan Yangshuo to kill Ye Xuanyuan; he wanted to see if he could get the Ye family's bodyguards to kill Yan Yangshuo.

It now appears that the plan has deviated from its intended course.

Ye Xuanyuan is hospitalized, and Yan Yangshuo's fate is still unclear.

"...You really are worthy of being called 'Ye Hei'!"

Qin Wanqing sighed, increasingly convinced that this guy was no good.

Using the eldest son of the Ye family to lure out a murder fugitive is something few people would do.

……

"Son, are you sure Xiaobai will really agree?"

Inside the city hospital ward, Ye Xuanyuan's entire body was wrapped up like a mummy, with only his eyes, nostrils, and mouth showing, making him look extremely pitiful.

However, upon closer inspection, it becomes clear that his mental state is actually quite good, and he doesn't appear to be seriously injured.

Moreover, his voice was full of energy when he spoke.

"Mom, don't worry. With Ye Bai's IQ, he's not even worthy of carrying my shoes! As long as he comes, this matter is basically settled."

Ye Xuanyuan said confidently.

"Xuanyuan's plan is indeed brilliant. Using his injury to get the Qin family to return the resort is absolutely a brilliant move."

Second Uncle Yang Guangyao nodded and gave a thumbs up.

"But, isn't it a bit wrong to lie to a novice like this..."

Yang Fenglan said with some difficulty.

"What's wrong with that? That's originally our Ye family's resort! Besides, it's worth four or five hundred million yuan, not a small amount of money. Why should we give it to Ye Bai and that bitch Qin Wanqing for free!"

Ye Xuanyuan snorted coldly, a chilling glint in his eyes.

"Sister, Xuanyuan is right. If it were only 20 million, it would be fine to give it away, but 400 or 500 million is too cheap for the Qin family!"

Yang Guangyao nodded, showing his support for his eldest nephew.

"Sigh, how did our good brother end up like this?"

Yang Fenglan sighed heavily, her eyes reddening, but she did not continue to stop her.
