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

"Mr. Ye, what brings you here today? You've come all the way to our godforsaken little place."

Chen Daguang invited Ye Bai to sit at the table in the main seat, respectfully poured him a cup of tea, and even took out a box of cigarettes, bowing and scraping as he smiled.

When Ding Shuai approached him, he made it very clear that he had come for Ye Bai.

At the same time, he also told Chen Daguang that Ye Bai was now Queen Qin's husband. This was not to show off, but simply to avoid future trouble.

Only when a person realizes the enormous gap between them and gives up completely can the desire for revenge be extinguished.

Having spent many years in the underworld, Ding Shuai naturally understood the mentality of these people.

As it turns out, Ding Shuai's approach was correct.

Chen Daguang was so frightened that he almost wet his pants. He didn't dare to seek revenge. Instead, he vowed to treat the other party like an ancestor from now on.

Therefore, upon seeing Ye Bai today, I naturally dared not be impolite in the slightest.

Actually, when he saw Ye Bai and Shen Zhu together, he could guess their purpose.

But he also found it absurd, considering how powerful the Qin family was.

They can buy the entire Eighth District so easily, why would they need to come to me, a nobody, for such a small matter?

Indeed, just as Shen Zhu said, he was a big shot in the Eighth District.

Even if you add up ten thousand of them, they would still be nothing in front of a behemoth like the Qin family.

Shen Fugui and his daughter were not from the same world as the Qin family, and so was he.

The wealthy are people that even ordinary rich people can only look up to, let alone ordinary people like them.

"Brother Guang, don't be nervous. I'm here to ask for your help."

"To be precise, I want you to help me find someone."

Ye Bai doesn't smoke, but after taking a sip of tea, he found the taste surprisingly acceptable and said with a smile.

"Mr. Ye, please rest assured, I'll even pay the penalty for breach of contract..."

Upon hearing the word "help," Chen Daguang subconsciously assumed that Ye Bai had indeed come to stand up for Shen Zhu, leaving him with no choice but to agree.

But before he could finish speaking, he discovered that things were not as he had imagined.

This son-in-law of the Qin family actually came to the Eighth District looking for someone?

What good people could there be in a chaotic place like District 8?

Could it be that life in a wealthy family is too boring, so he's just bored out of his mind? Why did he come to the Eighth District looking for some fun?

Could it be that he's looking for a massage girl he's had a fling with before?

Or perhaps, after a passionate night, she fell ill? Is that why she can't forget it?

Chen Daguang kept cursing in his heart, but on the surface he still had to pretend to be honored and thump his chest loudly.

"Mr. Ye, it's my honor that you think so highly of me! Just tell me who you're looking for. As long as they're in District 8, even if they're hiding in some nook or cranny, I guarantee I can find them for you!"

Chen Daguang wasn't bragging; he was a typical local strongman who had lived in the Eighth District for over thirty years.

Moreover, having grown up here, I know almost everyone from all walks of life, so finding someone is not difficult at all.

"Brother Ye..."

Seeing that Ye Bai and Chen Daguang weren't talking about the shop at all, but instead inexplicably switched to looking for someone, Shen Zhu was clearly a little confused.

"Don't worry."

Ye Bai gave Shen Zhu a wink, signaling her to calm down.

Then, Ye Bai asked Chen Daguang for paper and pen and began to draw.

The person he was looking for was, of course, Yan Yangshuo.

This was not a sudden idea, but Ye Bai felt that the most suitable hiding place for someone like Yan Yangshuo should be the Eighth District!

This place is a melting pot of all sorts of people, with very poor public security; it's the dirtiest and most chaotic place in the entire Jingzhou.

It happens to occupy a large area, and the terrain is extremely complex, with alleys and narrow lanes everywhere.

Most importantly, there is very little surveillance here.

Even if they exist, they are usually in a state of constant damage.

It's no secret that criminals like to hide in District 8.

No matter how well Yan Yangshuo disguises himself, he cannot shake off his status as a wanted criminal.

If you want to rent a house or stay in a hotel elsewhere, you will be easily recognized.

Therefore, for Yan Yangshuo, District 8 is the only safe zone in the entire Jingzhou!

Of course, with Yan Yangshuo's skills, he could survive for a long time even in the wild.

But unless absolutely necessary, nobody likes living under the open sky and on the ground.

"Mr. Ye, your painting skills are truly remarkable. With just a few strokes, you've captured the essence of the subject. It's clearly a woman, and an extremely beautiful one at that..."

Ye Bai had only made two strokes when Chen Daguang began to praise him incessantly.

Putting aside his other skills, he is undoubtedly a master at flattery.

Unfortunately, not everyone can do something like groveling.

At least, Chen Daguang didn't quite understand this time.

Ye Bai was not happy at all; in fact, his face darkened.

It's not just that those two strokes don't capture the essence of the character; more importantly, he's depicting Yan Yangshuo, a true man!

But Chen Daguang couldn't be blamed for this; he just wanted to flatter him. So Ye Bai could only speed up his painting.

Soon, Chen Daguang realized he had made a grave mistake, his face flushed red, and he said awkwardly, "Mr. Ye is indeed amazing. In your writing, whether someone is male or female is just a matter of a single thought..."

"Puch~"

Hearing that Chen Daguang was still licking his lips, Shen Lu and Shen Zhu couldn't help but burst out laughing on the spot.

Fortunately, Chen Daguang has now confirmed that the two sisters have a close relationship with Ye Bai, so he has not taken it to heart.

"Wait a minute... Mr. Ye, the person you drew looks familiar to me..."

Shortly after, Chen Daguang suddenly opened his eyes wide and exclaimed in surprise.

This time, he wasn't deliberately flattering him; he genuinely felt that way.

"look familiar?"

Ye Bai's heart stirred, but he didn't ask any more questions. He simply sped up his writing again, his brush moving like lightning.

In fact, Chen Daguang was not wrong to praise him. Over the years, Ye Bai has been guarding the mountains and has achieved considerable skill in music, chess, calligraphy and painting.

Although it's a bit awkward to draw sketches with a ballpoint pen now, it's still perfectly capable of capturing a person's characteristics.

"This...this is too much of a coincidence! It's...it's him?"

Chen Daguang was dumbfounded when Ye Bai made the last stroke, and a middle-aged man with an ordinary appearance but an indescribable murderous aura appeared on the paper.

"You know him?"

Ye Bai's eyes suddenly lit up.

His asking Chen Daguang for help was really just a fluke.

After all, Yan Yangshuo is really good at hiding. Even if he hides in District 8, it might not be so easy to find him.

Otherwise, Qin Wanqing's intelligence department wouldn't have been so clueless after investigating for so long.

But Ye Bai never expected that Chen Daguang would give him such a huge surprise!

"This is the guy who wants to trade the shop! The shop that Shen Zhu has her eye on!"

Chen Daguang took a deep breath and said with a strange expression.
