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

"You still recognize me... your great-uncle?"

Ye Bai's heart skipped a beat, and he asked, feigning surprise.

If there are no surprises, the "Little Sun" mentioned by the warehouse manager should be Sun Yibiao, the leader of the "Five Scoundrels".

At the same time, it made him even more certain that "Little Zhong" was undoubtedly Zhong Erbin.

People with the surnames Sun and Zhong are not uncommon, but for two surnames to appear together here is definitely not a coincidence.

"Of course I know him. He came here yesterday and insisted on having a few drinks with me. He got this old man completely drunk..."

As he spoke, the warehouse manager rubbed his temples, seemingly still not quite sober and with a headache.

"Xiao Zhong, your nephew is here to see you..."

Soon, the two arrived at the door of a room on the third floor, and the warehouse manager stepped forward and began to knock on the door.

Ye Bai was also ready to make a move.

With his strength, facing the scoundrels of the Xuanmen sect would be a piece of cake, but with an old and frail warehouse manager by his side, he dared not be careless.

But to everyone's surprise, the warehouse manager banged on the door for a long time, but there was no response from inside.

"Is he still drunk and trying to catch up on sleep?"

The warehouse manager was a little puzzled, then took a bunch of keys from his waist and opened the door.

Ye Bai went inside before the warehouse manager.

This is a very small room, only about ten square meters, with two bunk beds on both sides.

Between the iron beds was a dilapidated wooden table with empty bottles of liquor and beer, as well as peanuts, broken bones, and other debris, clearly indicating that they hadn't been cleaned up after drinking last night.

But apart from that, the room was completely empty.

"Huh? Where did they go?"

The warehouse manager was completely baffled. He had seen Xiao Zhong leave this morning. Could it be that he hadn't come back at all?

"I'll go look elsewhere."

Ye Bai snatched the keys from the warehouse manager's hand and ran away.

Breaking down the door was easy for him, but explaining it afterwards was difficult.

More importantly, you'll have to pay for damaging the lock.

"Hey? Why are you stealing my keys? What are you doing here? Are you pretending to be a teacher to rob the storeroom?"

The warehouse manager's expression changed drastically. While chasing after Ye Bai, he quickly took out his phone to report the incident.

At the same time, my mind was buzzing, and the same question kept recurring.

Have robbers changed their tactics these days? Stealing the keys to open the door before going in and taking things?

What is this? Civilized robbery?

Ye Bai moved swiftly and soon searched the entire warehouse, but still found nothing and no trace of Jiang Nuai.

He went to the boiler room and asked the two boiler operators questions.

They also knew the newcomer, "Xiao Zhong," but they had only seen him once in the morning and hadn't seen him since...

"Could I have guessed wrong? Is Jiang Nu'ai's disappearance unrelated to the scum of the Xuanmen? Or are the so-called Little Zhong and Little Sun not Zhong Erbin and Sun Yibiao?"

Ye Bai frowned, also beginning to feel that this was getting a bit tricky.

Just then, his phone rang.

When I took it out, I saw that it was from Song Fuling.

"Teacher Ye, where are you? Teacher Jiang is back..."

……

Qin Group Headquarters.

Qin Wanqing continued processing the documents on the table, her pretty face still carrying a hint of coldness, clearly still angry.

Although later, Qin Group's intelligence personnel reported that Ye Bai and Song Fuling had only been in the grove for a maximum of ten minutes.

Then Director Song went back to the office building by himself, but this still cannot prove that the adulterous couple did nothing.

These days, men who last three seconds are everywhere; ten minutes is already a long time.

"President Qin, there's a new development..."

At that moment, Chu Qian walked in quickly, holding her phone.

"What? Have you made arrangements with Thailand?"

Qin Wanqing asked without looking up.

Chu Qian stumbled and almost dropped her phone.

It seems that President Qin is truly enraged and is determined to turn Mr. Ye into a transvestite.

She had heard of couples turning into brothers, but could they also become sisters?

Struggling to suppress these chaotic thoughts, Chu Qian quickly said, "President Qin, we've found Jiang Nu'ai..."

"Oh? Where was it found? The person was rescued? Was anyone injured?"

Qin Wanqing finally raised her head, a hint of interest appearing on her face.

Ye Bai always said how evil those black-robed Taoist priests were, but she didn't really believe it.

They're nothing more than a bunch of guys who like to play tricks; no matter how skilled they are, they're definitely no match for the experts the Qin family has trained and hired at great expense.

Therefore, she really wanted the two sides to clash and determine who was better, and also to completely expose Ye Bai's boasting.

To Qin Wanqing's surprise, Chu Qian shook her head upon hearing this, saying with a strange expression, "No one is injured..."

Qin Wanqing was taken aback and said, "Isn't it a good thing that no one got hurt? Why do you look unhappy?"

Chu Qian quickly said, "President Qin, you've misunderstood. It's not because of that, it's because of Jiang Nuai..."

Qin Wanqing said helplessly, "What's wrong with Jiang Nuai? I'm telling you, Chu Qian, when are you going to get rid of this habit of breathing so heavily? Can't you just say it all at once?"

Her assistant is perfect in every way: loyal, highly capable, intelligent, calm, and so on—she's got all the virtues in the world.

However, it also has a major drawback: it likes to keep people in suspense and pique their interest when it comes to talking.

Qin Wanqing has spoken to the other party about this several times, and Chu Qian has also vowed that she will definitely change, but so far the effect is still not obvious.

"President Qin, I'm sorry, but this matter is just too strange. Jiang Nuai... we didn't rescue her."

Knowing that Qin Wanqing was in a bad mood today, Chu Qian finally dared not ramble on anymore.

"We didn't save her? Ye Bai saved her? Did you notify him?"

Qin Wanqing frowned slightly, showing some displeasure once again.

She hates subordinates who act on their own initiative the most, and Chu Qian's actions clearly crossed her bottom line.

"How could I dare without your permission? Besides, this matter has nothing to do with Mr. Ye..."

Chu Qian quickly explained that she had already endured a lot of pressure that she shouldn't have to bear, and she absolutely couldn't take on this huge burden anymore.

"Hmm, was that done by the police? The school should have called the police, what's so strange about that?"

Qin Wanqing's pretty face softened, but she was still somewhat puzzled.

She felt that Chu Qian was not only breathing heavily today, but also speaking incoherently.

"It's not the police either..."

Chu Qian shook her head again, just about to continue keeping everyone in suspense as usual, when she saw Qin Wanqing's murderous gaze. She quickly said, "That Teacher Jiang escaped on her own, without anyone rescuing her!"

"He escaped from the black-robed Taoist priest on his own? How is that possible?"

Qin Wanqing's beautiful eyes widened; she was genuinely surprised this time.
