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

Soon after, Zhao Zihao and Huang Mao both woke up.

When it comes to familiarity with the vital organs of the human body, even the chief surgeons of top-tier hospitals may not be able to match Ye Bai.

If he strikes with extreme restraint, Ye Bai can guarantee that even if the other person is stabbed thirty times, let alone three times, their life will not be in any danger.

After Liao Lei stitched up their wounds, Zhao Zihao and Huang Mao only lost a little blood and were otherwise unharmed.

Upon opening their eyes and seeing Ye Bai, the two men turned green with fright again, and finally knelt down on the ground with a thud, wailing, "Big brother, please don't use the knife again! Just tell us what you want us to do..."

There's nothing they can do; they're genuinely afraid of people who stab others at the slightest provocation, one stab after another without batting an eye.

Fighting to the death with this kind of person is no different from courting death.

In particular, they are not real underworld bosses. Although Zhao Zihao's surname is Zhao, he has no relation to the Zhao family whatsoever.

At best, he was a minor leader in the Donghetang, not even considered a middle-level manager.

Needless to say, Huang Mao was Zhao Zihao's underling, a true low-level henchman.

For them, things like status and face are utterly useless.

So when Ye Bai asked a question, they would answer five or six questions in return, afraid that the other party would be dissatisfied, and they would tell him all the information they knew, not daring to hide anything.

Unfortunately, Zhao Zihao and Huang Mao's knowledge was extremely limited; they couldn't even reach Zhu Jiuyou's level, and they had never even heard of Ye Bai's name.

All they knew was that Zhu's adopted son did indeed have close ties with the higher-ups at Donghetang, and they would often get together to eat, drink, and have fun.

As for whether Zhu Jiuyou was a member of Donghe Hall, and what his position was within Donghe Hall, they didn't know.

But Ye Bai didn't come away empty-handed; at least he learned about the leader of Donghe Hall.

This man is named Zhao Donghe. He is said to be the cousin of Zhao Yanwang, the head of the Zhao family, and the uncle of Zhao Wuyai!

This also proves that what Liao Lei said was true, and Donghetang really is a property of the Zhao family.

Over the years, the Zhao family has mostly outsourced their shady businesses to Donghetang.

"If you want to completely resolve your troubles, you'll need Han Mengmeng to step in..."

After telling Zhao Zihao and Huang Mao to get lost, Ye Bai looked at Liao Lei and said.

He helped the pet hospital avert a crisis today, but it's clearly only temporary.

Given the Zhao family's consistently domineering ways, they will definitely send someone over again.

What will arrive then will likely not be these small fry, but rather the elite of Donghetang, whose methods will be even more ruthless.

Ye Bai couldn't possibly stay here every day, nor could he be available whenever called upon.

Most importantly, you can never solve a problem completely with your fists.

Only when Han Mengmeng, the little princess of the Han family, steps forward and reveals her identity can the Zhao family be made wary.

Although the Han family is not as prominent as the Zhao family among the wealthy families in Jingzhou, Han Anguo is the president of the Jingzhou Chamber of Commerce.

Even someone as powerful as King Yama has to give him some face.

Moreover, for a wealthy family like the Zhao family, the land for the pet hospital is nothing special.

Ye Bai even suspected that the Zhao family's higher-ups were unaware of this matter, and that it was very likely that some unreliable member of the Zhao family wanted to take this opportunity to make some money, so he went to Donghetang to ask them to intervene.

Once they know Han Mengmeng's identity, the other party will definitely be scared away.

Even Zhao Wuyai, the eldest son of the Zhao family, wouldn't dare to provoke the Han family's little princess easily.

Because everyone in the elite circles of Jingzhou knows how much Han Anguo dotes on this granddaughter.

Anyone who dares to bully Han Mengmeng will face the wrath of President Han.

"Mengmeng has already helped me so much. If things really don't work out, I'll just close the hospital for a while..."

Liao Lei sighed helplessly.

He knew about Han Mengmeng's background, but he really didn't want to trouble her anymore.

His pet hospital has been able to survive until now thanks to Han Mengmeng.

Otherwise, it would probably have closed down long ago.

Rescuing stray cats and dogs every day is not something that can be done by just talking; it requires action and resources.

However, if a hospital devotes a large amount of its resources to this, it will naturally be unable to balance profitability.

Liao Lei's pet hospital has been operating at a loss since last year.

After all, the costs, including medicines, equipment, and employee expenses, are not a small amount.

Ideals are beautiful, but they require material support.

Otherwise, it will only be wishful thinking.

"...Okay, you've been busy enough lately, it's good for you to take a break."

Ye Bai nodded and did not try to persuade him further.

He and Liao Lei were at most acquaintances, but they didn't have much of a relationship.

Speaking too intimately with someone you don't know well is always a big taboo.

However, Ye Bai also began to wonder if he could help with this matter.

Liao Lei is a good person; he has a kind heart.

Those who have a kind heart should not be let down by this world.

Moreover, as long as this pet hospital continues to exist, it means that many stray cats and dogs can be saved every year.

This is certainly a good thing for Ye Bai, who loves cats and dogs.

However, as the adopted son of the Ye family and the son-in-law of the Qin family, he didn't have much influence, especially since he had a grudge against Zhao Wuyai and even the entire Zhao family. Not only would the other party definitely not pay attention to him, but it might even backfire.

There's no need to trouble Qin Wanqing with such a small matter, since Queen Qin has been extremely busy lately.

So Ye Bai still needs to think carefully about how to help.

As Ye Bai was leaving the pet hospital, preparing to go to the Qin Group headquarters with Shen Lu to chat and eat sunflower seeds, Han Mengmeng sent him a message.

There were only three words on it: Thank you.

Clearly, Liao Lei had already told Han Mengmeng that Ye Bai had helped resolve today's troubles.

Ye Bai replied with a smile: You're welcome. Remember to treat me to a meal.

Queen Qin's remaining payment of 50,000 yuan had not yet been settled, so of course he still had to serve this little princess of the Han family well.

Otherwise, if the other party gets angry and sells the shares to the Qin family's top management, Qin Wanqing will never be able to regain her position as president of the Qin Group.

But the reason he helped Han Mengmeng today was not for that reason.

It was just a friendly favor.

As they spent more time together and learned more about each other, Ye Bai now considered Han Mengmeng one of his few friends.

Of course, divorce and remarriage are still out of the question.

I treat you like a brother, how could you lust after me?

Just after replying to Han Mengmeng's message, Ye Bai's phone suddenly rang again.

It was Zheng Wushuang who called, asking if he was free to get together.

Today, Boss Zheng is treating everyone to the younger generation from the elite circles of Jingzhou, and the venue is the "November" bar.

Ye Bai thought about it and did not refuse.

He had a good impression of Zheng Wushuang, especially since Zheng Wushuang chose to patronize his own bar, so as the owner, he had to show his face.

Although he gave the bar to Qin Wanqing, they are a married couple. Queen Qin can only be the proprietress now; he is still the nominal owner.

Before heading to the bar, Ye Bai asked Shen Lu to go to District Eight first to pick up the man in the black trench coat, hoping to find the "demoness" skilled in the forbidden Xuanmen cultivation technique...
