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

"What's wrong? Yan Yangshuo has appeared?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Bai's eyes lit up. If that murderous maniac was also here, it would be a perfect ending.

Although Yan Yangshuo was, in a sense, a useful tool in Ye Bai's hand, Ye Bai still wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible compared to the safety of those around him.

A knife can be found again, but once someone is in trouble, it's too late to regret it.

To Ye Bai's slight disappointment, Qin Zhong shook his head and said, "Not Yan Yangshuo, more like a cat..."

"Cat? What does that mean?"

Ye Bai and Qin Wanqing were both a little confused, unable to figure out what the Buddhist supplies shop had to do with cats.

Fortunately, Qin Zhong, unlike Chu Qian, didn't have the habit of keeping things mysterious and quickly explained what had happened.

There's a good chance there's a cat in that Buddhist supplies shop.

The Qin family bodyguards, who were monitoring the area nearby, vaguely heard a mournful cat's cry coming from inside the Buddhist supplies store.

There was even a piercing sound, as if the cat was scratching at the door incessantly.

But they didn't know the specifics.

This sound is not continuous, but only occurs occasionally.

At first, Qin Zhong thought that he and his group were hallucinating, but later he began to have doubts.

"Could it be that the cat's owner was the previous owner of the Buddhist supplies store? After selling the store, he simply abandoned the cat there?"

Qin Wanqing offered her own guess.

Ye Bai also felt that this should be the case, otherwise there was no better explanation.

Moreover, he was too lazy to ask Chen Daguang about such a trivial matter, since he would find out what happened as soon as he entered the store.

After waiting in the car for a while, several shops near the Buddhist supplies store closed one after another.

The lights on the entire street dimmed considerably at once.

In the Eighth District, streetlights are a rarity.

It's not that the higher-ups won't allow it, the problem is that there are always people with impulsive hands who smash it up, and you can't even replace it.

The Eighth District is known as the most chaotic place in the entire Jingzhou, as evidenced by the streetlights and surveillance cameras.

After waiting for about half an hour and confirming that no shops were open, Ye Bai and the others got out of the car and walked to the front of the Buddhist supplies store.

Qin Na and the others followed, while Qin Zhong and the other Qin family bodyguards kept watch outside.

In this way, if Yan Yangshuo were really here, he would have nowhere to escape.

Ye Bai squatted down in front of the steps and observed carefully. Sure enough, he saw the black fish Bagua diagram that Shen Zhu had mentioned.

The more he looked at it, the more familiar it seemed, but he still couldn't remember where he had seen it before.

The roller shutter door was locked, but this small obstacle was no problem for Ye Bai.

Seeing that this guy casually picked up a wire from the ground and easily opened the lock, Qin Wanqing's beautiful eyes widened. She became even more suspicious that this guy did not cultivate Taoism when he went into the mountains, but something else unspeakable.

Such skillful techniques would likely leave even seasoned thieves in awe.

Shen Lu and Shen Zhu looked at Ye Bai with admiration, feeling more and more that he was their idol.

Putting everything else aside, his incredible lock-picking skills alone are enough to get him registered with the police.

The storefront of the Buddhist supplies shop looks small from the outside, but the interior space is quite spacious.

It's about 70 square meters, and that's just the area on the first floor.

There's a second floor above, and even a basement below.

The shelves were filled with all sorts of Buddhist supplies. Ye Bai glanced at them and realized they were all just handicrafts, nothing of real value.

This is normal, after all, it's just a Buddhist supplies store, not an antique store.

After wandering around the first floor and finding nothing amiss, Ye Bai and the others went up to the second floor.

The treasure hunt isn't urgent; we need to first determine if Yan Yangshuo is actually here.

Shen Lu, Shen Zhu, and the others climbed the stairs very carefully, even standing on tiptoe.

Qin Wanqing was no exception; she even changed her high heels into sneakers while in the car.

This way, the noise from walking will be much less.

It has to be said that watching more TV dramas can be beneficial sometimes, as it can also help you learn some common sense.

Seeing these people holding their breath and tiptoeing around, Ye Bai felt a toothache.

Yan Yangshuo's alertness has always been astonishing. If they were really here, they could hear the noise even if they were barefoot.

Otherwise, this guy wouldn't be so hard to catch.

However, Ye Bai was not worried about alerting the other party.

Given Yan Yangshuo's personality, his first choice in this situation would be to kill all the uninvited guests.

Anyway, I already have enough lives on my hands, so adding a few more won't make a difference.

He will only choose to flee immediately if the other party makes him realize that there is danger.

Meanwhile, Ye Bai was inside the shop, while Qin Zhong and a group of Qin family bodyguards stood outside with guns. No matter what choice Yan Yangshuo made, the outcome was inevitable.

The second floor has the same area as the first floor, with a layout of two bedrooms, one living room, and one bathroom.

Although we just moved, the place doesn't look messy at all; the floor is very clean, and there's almost no trash in sight.

This shouldn't be attributed to the previous tenant, but rather to Chen Daguang's real estate agent.

They not only have the keys, but they are also responsible for cleaning so that the shop can be successfully transferred.

From this perspective, these guys can be considered quite dedicated.

After reaching the second floor, Qin Na and the others took out their pistols and protected Qin Wanqing and Ye Bai inside, each of them looking as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

This is also related to the information Qin Wanqing distributed to them.

Although Chu Qian couldn't find out where Yan Yangshuo was hiding, she did find out some of the crimes he had committed.

Although this bloody past doesn't even reach one percent of Yan Yangshuo's actual bloodshed, it's enough to make the Qin family bodyguards realize that they are facing an extremely ruthless wanted criminal.

Any carelessness could result in injury or death for them.

"This is not where Yan Yangshuo is hiding, at least not yet."

Ye Bai observed carefully for a while, then sighed helplessly.

No matter how strong the counter-surveillance capabilities are, it is impossible to avoid leaving some traces of life.

But it's obvious that no one has lived here for a while; at most, a cleaning service has come to clean it.

After a careful search, Qin Na and the others confirmed that the entire second floor was also empty.

The cautious Qin family bodyguards even checked under the bed and in the cabinets.

They left no place untouched, no place where people could hide.

"Could it be in the basement?"

Qin Wanqing said softly.

The usually noble, elegant, dignified, and graceful Queen Qin was now beaming with joy, her beautiful eyes sparkling.

She's not much better than those two girls, Shen Lu and Shen Zhu.

Clearly, tonight's treasure hunt and capture operation was exciting and fun for her.

But this is normal. As the former president of the Qin Group and the renowned Queen of Jingzhou, she doesn't usually have the opportunity to act recklessly like this.

"Meow~"

Before Ye Bai could answer, a faint meow suddenly reached his ears...
