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

"What do you mean?"

Shen Zhu still didn't understand and looked at Ye Bai with a blank expression.

Those beautiful, large eyes were filled with a clear and intelligent gaze.

Shen Lu, standing to the side, was just as adorable and innocent.

Upon seeing this, Ye Bai looked up and rubbed his forehead. In the end, he could only helplessly explain to the two little girls who weren't very bright.

"Holy crap! Brother Ye, are you saying I really fell for it and got scammed? That bastard actually dared to fool me?"

After finally understanding, Shen Zhu jumped up and started cursing.

For her, 998 is no small sum.

Of course, more importantly, she felt that her intelligence had been insulted.

This was something she had always been proud of in front of Shen Lu.

The saying "If this can be tolerated, then this cannot be tolerated" perfectly describes this situation.

Shen Lu had no idea about these things, but she was filled with righteous indignation and began to roll up her sleeves, preparing to avenge her sister.

"Well, not necessarily... Tell me more about that guy, don't leave out any details."

Ye Bai suddenly thought of Yan Yangshuo, who also wanted to exchange Buddhist supplies for the shop, and realized that his previous judgment might not have been 100% accurate.

He had always wondered why Yan Yangshuo would choose to exchange for a Buddhist supplies shop when he had so many other shops available.

More importantly, is the "Xuanmen" in the name of "Xuanmen's Number One Handsome Man" just a random choice, or does it represent something else?

If it's the former, then it doesn't matter. After all, this generation of netizens has incredibly creative minds, so it wouldn't be surprising if they came up with any kind of name.

But if it's the latter, then it's not so simple.

Could that "Number One Handsome Man of the Xuanmen" be a member of the Xuanmen?

If this person truly comes from the Xuanmen (Taoist sect), then things get interesting.

Ye Bai vaguely felt that he had seen the "Black Fish Bagua Diagram" somewhere before, but he couldn't recall where he had seen it before.

Unfortunately, Shen Zhu's knowledge of the "most handsome man in the Xuanmen sect" was very limited, and she had already told him everything she knew.

They were just online friends; they had never met in person or even had any voice or video calls with each other.

We've always communicated through text.

Although there was a contact number, the other party didn't seem to be online. No matter how much Shen Zhu cursed and swore, there was no response.

"Don't be angry. Maybe I guessed wrong. Perhaps the Buddhist supplies store really has some treasures."

Seeing that Shen Zhu's eyes were red and she was clearly about to cry, Ye Bai quickly comforted her.

"What's the use of having a treasure? The stores have all been bought by others, how could I possibly get one!"

Shen Zhu looked dejected, her ears almost drooping.

Then, the little girl suddenly thought of something, her big eyes lit up, and she said excitedly, "Brother Ye, how about we sneak into the Buddhist supplies store tonight and look for it? If we find it, it proves that 998 didn't lie to me. If we don't find it, I'll call the police and have him arrested right away!"

As she continued, Shen Zhu began to grit her teeth again.

Good heavens, because she was so angry, this little girl stopped using the other person's online name and started calling them "998".

"Young master, young master, I think this is a good idea! Anyway, that guy surnamed Yan isn't a good person. If he finds some real treasure, we'll be at a huge loss!"

Before Ye Bai could say anything, Shen Lu raised both hands in agreement.

The idea of ​​sneaking into a Buddhist supplies store at night to find treasure sounds exciting.

"...It's fine, but you two have to promise to obey when the time comes."

Ye Bai hesitated for a moment, but did not refuse.

If we can find out the secret of that Buddhist supplies shop, that would be great. If not, it's okay if we make a wasted trip; we can just consider it as taking the two little girls out for fun.

"That's wonderful! The son-in-law is amazing!"

"Brother Ye, muah~"

Shen Lu and Shen Zhu cheered and jumped around happily.

Since it was still early, Ye Bai simply took the two little girls to stroll around the Qin Group headquarters.

This was also Shen Zhu's wish; she had always wanted to visit the Qin Family Manor and the Qin Group headquarters.

She had only ever seen the outside when she occasionally passed by, and she was very curious about what it was like inside.

We can't go to the Qin Family Manor today; it's a bit far from District 8, and going all that way would be a waste of time.

So they decided to go to the Qin Group headquarters first, and also find Queen Qin to have dinner with them.

Since he planned to go treasure hunting at the Buddhist supplies store that evening, Ye Bai didn't intend to go back to the Qin family manor for dinner.

"Brother Ye, you said that wanted criminal secretly came to District 8. Will Kou'er be alright if she's home alone by herself?"

After a moment of excitement on the way, Shen Zhu began to worry about her good friend again.

"It's alright, someone's keeping an eye on things over there."

Ye Bai smiled and shook his head.

After Qin Wanqing was assassinated by the TV station last time, the Qin family's security level has been raised to the highest level.

Not only were there many people, but they were also equipped with firearms.

If Yan Yangshuo dares to show his face, he will be a perfect target.

……

"Why are you here?"

Qin Wanqing was a little surprised to see Ye Bai suddenly bring two young girls to her office.

"Hello, Miss Qin..."

Shen Zhu quickly stepped forward to greet her, her eyes filled with excitement mixed with a hint of trepidation as she looked at Qin Wanqing.

The Queen of Jingzhou was an idol to all women, and she was one of them.

"Don't be shy. Where do you want to go for a stroll? Lulu will take you there in a bit."

Qin Wanqing smiled and nodded, immediately understanding the purpose of this little girl's visit to the headquarters building today.

The Qin Group headquarters is a mysterious place in the eyes of many people in Jingzhou, so people often try to sneak in to find out what's going on.

Fortunately, the security here is strong; otherwise, it would be overcrowded every day, and people wouldn't be able to work normally.

"That's wonderful! Thank you, Miss Qin!"

Shen Zhu cheered and pulled Shen Lu away.

"By the way, Lulu told me that a new Cantonese restaurant opened in Nanyuan. I think it would definitely suit your taste..."

While brewing tea, Ye Bai spoke seemingly casually.

"If you want me to treat you to a big meal, just say so. Why beat around the bush?"

Qin Wanqing snorted in annoyance. She had been living with Ye Bai for a while now, and she could guess what he was up to the moment he bent over.

"Boss, you're so generous! Then I'll thank you on behalf of Lulu and Shen Zhu."

Ye Bai chuckled awkwardly, but found that such clever women were not easy to fool; his own silly Lulu was much cuter.

Why don't you suddenly want to go home for dinner today?

Qin Wanqing was too lazy to argue with Ye Bai; it was just a meal, nothing to her.

Besides, they are family, so there's no question of whether or not they were invited.

"I'm taking the two little girls treasure hunting tonight; it's too far to eat at home."

Ye Bai said in a mysterious low voice.

"Treasure hunting? You two have been reading too many tomb raiding novels, haven't you?"

Qin Wanqing rolled her eyes, realizing she had asked unnecessary questions; this guy was never serious.

This is the kind of person who talks nonsense.

"Alright, I have something important to tell you."

Qin Wanqing had no interest in chatting idly with Ye Bai, and her expression turned serious as she asked, "Do you know that your female colleague has a connection with Guangmang Pharmaceuticals?"
