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

"Teacher Ye, according to Hua Zhenghao, was Li Changlin really killed by that black-robed Taoist priest?"

After letting Hua Zhenghao go and sending Song Fuling home, Jiang Nuai looked at Ye Bai and asked in a low voice.

In fact, she had already dealt with the black-robed Taoist priest twice.

The first time was in the grove of Qingfeng Temple, where she was knocked unconscious by Qiu Wude without warning and almost lost her virginity, but was eventually rescued by Ye Bai.

The second time, she was kidnapped by Sun Yibiao, but she took advantage of his carelessness and killed him.

Although both outcomes were positive, the process was indeed perilous.

This left Jiang Nuai with an extremely deep impression of those guys.

"It's very possible."

Ye Bai nodded.

Hua Zhenghao's knowledge was indeed limited, and only superficial.

What is certain is that Li Changhai and Li Changlin, these two brothers, had close ties with the black-robed Taoist priest some time ago.

Sun Yibiao managed to get into the medical school's warehouse management team through Li Changlin's connections.

But for the scoundrels of the Xuanmen sect, there are never any true friends; all they care about is profit.

After using Li Changlin, they killed him to silence him, which was a perfectly routine procedure.

However, these are all Ye Bai's speculations and cannot be taken as real evidence.

But he's not a policeman, and he doesn't need evidence; he just needs to verify his own guess.

The scoundrels of the Xuanmen sect had both the reason and the ability to kill Li Changlin.

Masters of internal strength are not like cabbages on the roadside, which are everywhere.

"Hua Zhenghao is too wicked. I feel like letting him off so easily is letting him off too easily..."

Jiang Nuai muttered under her breath, clearly very unhappy.

As a girl, she naturally despised this despicable act of drugging people.

In her view, even if such scum cannot be humanely destroyed, he should at least be sent to prison.

"There's nothing we can do. Hua Zhenghao is shameless, but Director Song still cares about his reputation."

Ye Bai shook his head.

While it was certainly satisfying to call the police and have Hua Zhenghao arrested, it will inevitably have some impact on Song Fuling's reputation.

Today's society is rife with hostility, and the "victim-harm theory" is never in short supply.

A divorced, single woman who is so beautiful and holds a high position in a medical school is more likely to attract gossip and rumors.

Therefore, Ye Bai understood why Song Fuling didn't intend to pursue the matter with Hua Zhenghao.

Of course, there is one more crucial point here.

The information that Hua Zhenghao told Song Fuling seemed to be very important to her.

Unfortunately, because Song Fuling was always present, Ye Bai didn't have the chance to find out who "he" or "she" really was.

……

After sending Jiang Nuai back to the medical school, Ye Bai and Shen Lu returned to the Qin family's old house.

Back in his room, Ye Bai found that Qin Wanqing was still awake and was reading a book on the bed.

She didn't even lift her eyelids when he came in, as if she had already treated him like he wasn't there.

"Why is it so quiet today? This doesn't make sense..."

Ye Bai glanced at Qin Wanqing, his expression turning strange.

It must be said that the inherent baseness of human nature is an eternal truth.

Having been used to Queen Qin's sarcastic and sharp tongue, Ye Bai found it quite strange that she wasn't arguing with him.

It was only then that he realized that arguing back with Qin Wanqing had become an essential part of his daily life.

Once I stop arguing, it feels like a huge piece of my life is missing.

Fortunately, Queen Qin's silence at this moment was clearly feigned.

"Science my ass! Weren't you having a blast outside? Busy with the perfect female director and the beautiful female colleagues, and you still had time to come home?"

"What? Neither of those two beautiful women could keep you as a couple? Or did your three-second man fail to satisfy them, and you were sent back?"

Qin Wanqing put down her book and began to sneer.

"...Damn it, I'm such a jerk! Wouldn't a quiet Queen Qin be better? Why do I have to enjoy being criticized?"

Ye Bai was speechless; he really wanted to slap himself.

"Heh, why are you so quiet now? You're usually so sharp-tongued, aren't you? Looks like I was right! You scumbag, don't ever share a bathroom with me again, I find you disgusting!"

Seeing Ye Bai's strange expression but his lack of response, Qin Wanqing grew even angrier, flames quickly rising in her beautiful eyes.

Actually, she wasn't an unreasonable person. It was only natural for her to help Ye Bai's colleague when he was in trouble, and she wouldn't stop him.

The key point is that this scumbag actually left Shen Lu in the car, which meant he got rid of the little tail she had planted for Ye Bai.

This makes one wonder.

If this guy wasn't guilty and wanted to do something bad, why didn't he take Shen Lu with him like he usually does?

Moreover, Lulu is a brainless girl. She obediently stayed in the car when she wasn't allowed to come along, which was a complete waste of all her efforts!

This only fueled Qin Wanqing's anger.

"Dirty my foot! Director Song was drugged and almost got killed..."

In order to save his bathroom, Ye Bai decided to explain, briefly recounting the whole story.

"...Why do I feel like you have the legendary 'medicine god' constitution? How come you always run into these drug-related situations?"

After hearing this, Qin Wanqing's expression softened somewhat, but she was still somewhat skeptical.

Last time, when Zhu Daji was drugged by Ye Xuanyuan, it was Ye Bai who helped thwart the plan. This time, another one has appeared. The coincidence is truly bizarre.

"...What can I do? There are just too many scumbags who will do anything these days."

Ye Bai sighed. He didn't want to get involved in such matters, but Song Fuling often invited him to lunch, and he couldn't just stand by and do nothing when she was in danger.

"Pah! Nobody's as scum as you! How dare you call someone else a scumbag!"

Qin Wanqing rolled her eyes dramatically, feeling even more that this guy was shameless.

But she had to admit that Ye Bai, despite being a scumbag, still had some moral bottom line.

Although he always liked to scare her, he never actually forced himself on her.

All that time she spent waiting anxiously every night was for nothing...

Pshaw! It's like you're actually looking forward to this guy forcing himself on you!

Qin Wanqing blushed and quickly banished those chaotic thoughts.

"By the way, have you been checking forums and short video platforms these past few days? No one has replied yet?"

Feeling much better, Qin Wanqing finally remembered the important matter at hand.

A few days ago, after they got the black fish Bagua mirror from the Buddhist supplies store, she took photos and videos and posted them at night, hoping to see if anyone knew what it was.

Considering the time frame, there should theoretically be some feedback.

"I don't know, can you help me take a look?"

Ye Bai handed the phone to Qin Wanqing. Although he could now use the phone to access the internet normally, he was still unfamiliar with many of the functions.

"Hehe, you're so generous in showing me your phone today, did you delete all the chat history?"

Queen Qin took the phone and, as usual, adopted a sarcastic tone.

"Does it still have this function?"

Ye Bai's eyes suddenly lit up.
