Chapter 289 The mastermind behind the scenes
Upon hearing Qin Wanqing's words, Tong Yan and Shen Lu, who had been silent for a while, suddenly changed their expressions and exclaimed in surprise.
Shen Lu rushed to Ye Bai's side, checking him over anxiously as she asked, "Young Master, where are you hurt? Should we go to the hospital? It's all my fault, I should have gone with you to practice driving..."
As she spoke, the little girl's eyes began to redden, and tears welled up in them.
"Lulu, don't worry, I'm fine, I'm not hurt at all."
Feeling Shen Lu's heartfelt concern and self-reproach, Ye Bai felt a warmth in his heart and smiled as he gently patted the little girl's head to comfort her.
Although Lulu is a bit slow and not very bright, she is a very sweet and caring girl.
"Ye Bai, what exactly happened?"
Tong Yan couldn't help but ask, her beautiful eyes also filled with worry.
"Someone must have tampered with the training vehicle..."
Ye Bai didn't hide anything and briefly explained the situation at the driving school.
After eating spicy hot pot with Chai You'er, he roughly guessed the truth of the matter.
His premonition that something was wrong with the car was clearly correct.
But Ke Yongnan refused to believe in superstition and ended up becoming the scapegoat.
From this perspective, Coach Ke is also a good person; at least he can shield others from disaster.
"You're not surprised at all... then can you guess who's behind this?"
Qin Wanqing glanced at Ye Bai with some surprise. She thought he had been kept in the dark all along, which was why he had so carefree accompanied the beautiful student to eat spicy hot pot.
"Who else could it be but you members of the Qin family?"
Ye Bai curled his lips.
In Jingzhou, his only true enemy should be Yan Yangshuo.
But that serial killer wasn't good at using this method of killing by proxy.
That leaves only three suspects.
The Qin family, the Zhao family, and the Ye family.
However, Ye Bai estimated that it was unlikely that the Ye family had sent someone to do it secretly.
Although he explicitly rejected the Ye family's request last time, saying that he could not help the Ye family take back the Mingtaishan Resort, he ended up making Ye Xuanyuan and Yang Guangyao very angry.
But based on Ye Bai's understanding of these two, they could manage to annoy him with some underhanded tricks, but they didn't have the guts to go so far as to kill him.
Judging from the speed of that car today, it was really going to kill him.
As for the Zhao family, they are also a suspect.
Zhao Wuyai, this young master from a wealthy family, has always been known for his narrow-mindedness and vindictiveness.
Not only did he lose the equestrian competition to Ye Bai, but he was also almost run over by the racehorse. This is incredibly embarrassing, and he's not going to let it go.
What's more, the people this person sent to cause trouble at the bar last night were caught and directly sent to the Zhao family by Qin Wanqing, which was like another slap in the face to the other party.
Given the series of provocations, it's understandable that Zhao Wuyai would send people to retaliate against Ye Bai.
However, Ye Bai still tends to believe that the mastermind behind the scenes is a high-ranking member of the Qin family.
There was no evidence, but it was an intuition.
And his intuition has always been very accurate.
"...You rascal, you're smart sometimes, but you can be incredibly stupid at other times. You can also be brainless sometimes, but you're also incredibly shrewd."
Qin Wanqing looked at Ye Bai with a complicated expression, feeling somewhat emotional.
"...Speak properly, can you stop looking at me like I'm an idiot?"
Ye Bai said irritably.
"Alright, considering that everyone has a responsibility to care for children with intellectual disabilities, I'll let you off the hook today. I also have some good news and some bad news for you."
"The good news is that you guessed right. It was indeed the Qin family who arranged for the driving school to sabotage you."
Qin Wanqing said slowly and deliberately.
After saying that, she got up to make tea and didn't say anything more for a long time.
It was obvious that they were deliberately keeping Ye Bai in suspense.
With Chu Qian, a subordinate who loves to keep things mysterious, and Shen Lu, a silly younger sister who often talks nonsense, Queen Qin has clearly been infected as well.
"hehe."
Seeing this, Ye Bai knew exactly what Qin Wanqing was up to, so he simply didn't ask and grabbed a handful of melon seeds to eat.
"Miss, Miss, what's the bad news? Please tell me!"
In the end, Ye Bai wasn't in a hurry, but Shen Lu couldn't hold back any longer.
Children are never very patient, especially Shen Lu, who has a fiery and impulsive personality.
"You good-for-nothing girl!"
Qin Wanqing rolled her eyes in anger, and finally glared fiercely at Ye Bai.
"Hmm, why are you looking at me? Do you want some melon seeds? These melon seeds are quite delicious, worthy of your status as 'Qin Melon Seeds'."
Ye Bai grabbed a handful of melon seeds and started winking at Qin Wanqing.
"Pfft..."
Tong Yan couldn't hold back any longer and spat out the tea she had just drunk.
"Ye Bai, you bastard! If you ever mention the word 'sunflower seeds' again, I'll kill you!"
"And Lulu! If you ever dare to buy sunflower seeds again, I'll make you eat all the shells!"
Qin Wanqing's pretty face instantly turned as red as a cloth, and she completely lost her temper.
Ever since the "sunflower seed master" blunder, she gets furious whenever she hears the word "sunflower seeds."
"Lulu, I'm so pitiful, I won't be able to eat sunflower seeds anymore..."
Shen Lu frowned and sighed, then quickly grabbed a handful and put them into her pocket.
"It's okay, your young lady won't let you eat there. We'll eat out from now on."
Ye Bai chuckled and continued to deliberately provoke Qin Wanqing.
"You, surnamed Ye, still dare to sneak a bite outside?"
Qin Wanqing couldn't resist the provocation and almost jumped up.
"Alright, alright, stop talking. You two are both grown up, yet you're still bickering like children all the time."
Tong Yan quickly stepped forward to act as a peacemaker, a hint of helplessness flashing in her beautiful eyes.
Qin Wanqing was clearly completely under Ye Bai's thumb; otherwise, her emotions wouldn't fluctuate so drastically.
The Queen Qin she knew before only showed her girlish side when she was in front of her.
To others, she is a cold and aloof iceberg.
But now, Ye Bai can make him jump up and down with just a casual remark, which speaks volumes.
Finally, after being persuaded by Tong Yan, Qin Wanqing decided to put aside her plan to perish together with Ye Bai for the time being.
"The bad news is that the trail has gone cold, and we can't find out which of my elders is the mastermind behind it all!"
Qin Wanqing took a deep breath, and when she said the word "elders," she deliberately emphasized it, her tone full of sarcasm.
Upon learning that Ye Bai had almost gotten into an accident at the driving school, she immediately sent people to catch the guy who had tampered with the vehicle.
He was a director at the driving school. He was just doing his job for money, so he didn't have much guts and quickly confessed everything.
The person who arranged for him to do this was from the Qin Group.
The reward offered was a full one million.
However, because the other party never showed up, there was no other useful information.
After a moment's thought, Ye Bai said, "Such a crude and mindless method doesn't seem like your third and fifth uncles, but rather more like your sixth uncle... Damn it! Lulu, go prepare the fishing rods, we're having Blood Red Dragon for supper tonight!"
