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

"You are……"

Upon seeing the two strangers suddenly appear, the man in the black trench coat was so frightened that he almost had a heart attack on the spot, his aged face filled with terror.

"Don't be afraid, we're just here to ask you about some things. And, to make sure you help us, this is our reward..."

Ye Bai smiled and comforted the other party, then took out a stack of cash from his pocket and placed it on the table.

The quantity wasn't too large, exactly two thousand yuan.

But it should be enough to get some information.

Judging from the environment of this small house, the man in the black trench coat probably isn't doing too well financially lately.

Most importantly, since this guy used to like being a gigolo, it means he must be the kind of person who values ​​money.

Dealing with this kind of person is better done with money than with fists.

Sure enough, the man in the black trench coat's eyes lit up when he saw the money. He quickly grabbed it, counted it over and over several times, and then nodded, asking, "What do you want to ask?"

"You drove a BMW last time, the license plate number was..."

Ye Bai didn't bother with roundabout questions and went straight to the point.

"Who exactly are you people? Why are you asking that?"

The man in the black trench coat instantly became alert, taking a few steps back and looking at Ye Bai and Shen Lu with a wary expression.

Although this former pretty boy's physical functions have aged to the point of being like those of a seventy or eighty-year-old due to poisoning and severe deterioration, his mind seems to still be clear and has not been greatly affected.

"Well……"

Just as Ye Bai was about to make up a random identity, such as being his own private detective or an undercover agent, Shen Lu, who hadn't spoken for a while, suddenly slammed her small hand heavily on the table and shouted in a cute but fierce voice, "You better behave yourself, we're from Donghe Hall!"

Because of her adorable and innocent appearance, even if Shen Lu makes a fierce move, it's hard to scare people. Instead, people just think this little girl is really cute and have an urge to rush up, hug her, and kiss her.

But at that moment, the man in the black trench coat suddenly changed his expression, and he was so frightened that he took a few steps back and fell down on the bed.

Without a doubt, their legs went weak with fear.

"Dong...Donghetang?"

The man in the black trench coat was teething and his face had turned white.

Clearly, what frightened him was not Shen Lu, but the three words "Donghetang".

Seeing the man in the black trench coat so frightened, and Shen Lu looking at him with a smug expression, Ye Bai was speechless.

These days, ordinary people are indeed most afraid of those so-called "gangsters".

The name "Donghetang," a powerful underground force in Jingzhou, is sometimes even more effective than that of top wealthy families.

But that's normal. Ordinary people may never have the opportunity to come into contact with the circle of the wealthy in their entire lives.

You might not see thugs everywhere, but you'll run into a few from time to time.

This is the result of the increasingly strong crackdown on organized crime in recent years; otherwise, the impact would have been even greater in the past.

It's understandable that ordinary people are afraid of these guys who walk the line between the law and the law, and who treat going to jail as a daily occurrence.

The man in the black trench coat had clearly heard a lot about the reputation of "Donghetang," which is why he immediately backed down.

Then, the Q&A session began.

Ye Bai, however, was not happy at all. The dignified leader of the Xuanmen sect, and the son-in-law of the Qin family, was ultimately less useful than the title of a petty thug. This was truly a pain in the ass.

He had no doubt that if Queen Qin found out about this, she would absolutely tear him apart.

Soon, Ye Bai and Shen Lu got everything they wanted from the man in the black trench coat.

But they didn't feel much joy; instead, they stood there staring at each other, somewhat bewildered.

The truth was completely different from their previous assumptions.

The man in the black trench coat did indeed drive Chen Jingmei's BMW, visit the Buddhist supplies store, and even enter the upscale residential community of Wanting Haoyuan.

None of these things are off.

The problem lies in the identity of the man in the black trench coat.

He used to be a delivery driver!

Driving for customers and running errands for them is his job!

That day, I drove Chen Jingmei's BMW to the Buddhist supplies store, and later went to Wanting Haoyuan residential area, all because of this.

He is not the gigolo that the second wife of the Qin family kept outside!

In fact, the man in the black trench coat didn't even recognize Chen Jingmei!

Someone placed an order on the platform, and the platform assigned the task to him.

He knew absolutely nothing about the client.

The tasks of retrieving the car keys, delivering items, and returning the car keys were all handled by a young nanny in her early twenties.

Throughout the entire incident, Chen Jingmei seemed to have been completely absent...

"Young master, young master, it seems we were wrong! But this is actually a good thing..."

Shen Lu walked to Ye Bai's side and whispered in his ear.

"It's indeed a good thing."

Ye Bai nodded. The "sexual tanning demoness" was not the second wife of the Qin family, which was good news for him.

This means that all his previous worries have disappeared.

But Ye Bai didn't feel relieved at all; on the contrary, he felt that the matter was becoming increasingly strange.

After processing this information, Ye Bai asked the most crucial question.

How did you end up like this?

No one ages suddenly for no reason, and Ye Bai was absolutely certain that the man in the black trench coat had been drained of his vital energy by a forbidden technique of the Xuanmen sect.

……

"Son-in-law, I have a bit of a headache..."

As Shen Lu emerged from the man in the black trench coat's courtyard, she rubbed her head repeatedly, sighing with a distressed expression.

There was no way around it; after hearing the story of the man in the black trench coat, her already small brain was even more overwhelmed.

"It's okay, you just need to think about what to have for supper later."

Ye Bai patted Shen Lu's head to comfort her.

At the same time, he was also quickly analyzing the information that the man in the black trench coat had later told him.

Ye Bai was right about at least one thing.

Besides working as a delivery driver, this man in the black trench coat also did part-time jobs provided by a wealthy woman.

Such as accompanying wealthy women for drinks and karaoke, or for sightseeing and entertainment.

To put it bluntly, he's a gigolo who makes money off his looks.

Although this kind of work is very lucrative, the process can sometimes be very painful.

After all, it's not just men who are perverted; some women are perverted too.

Moreover, the degree to which they become perverted is even more terrifying.

So, to soothe his emotional wounds, the man in the black trench coat would occasionally go to bars to pick up some young and pretty girls, thus regaining some enjoyment in life.

This wouldn't have been a big deal; with his outstanding appearance, it would have been easy for him to achieve.

But recently, the man in the black trench coat noticed something was wrong.

His body was aging rapidly, and despite various hospital tests, they couldn't find the cause of the problem.

In just a few days, he transformed from a young man in his early twenties into what he is now.

The girls the man in the black trench coat hooked up with all came from the same bar.

"November".
