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

Before he knew it, it was Friday again, time to go to medical school. Ye Bai had just arrived at the office and hadn't even had a chance to ask Jiang Nv'ai about Jiang Kou'er's situation when Song Fuling called him over.

"Teacher Ye, thank you so much for last time..."

Song Fuling's office was not only clean and tidy, but also had a very pleasant fragrance, like orchids and musk, but not too strong, giving people a very intoxicating feeling.

Ye Bai was familiar with this fragrance; it should have come from Song Fuling. He wondered what brand of perfume it was.

"Director Song, you're too kind. It was just a small favor. If you really want to thank someone, you should thank Teacher Jiang."

Ye Bai smiled and shook his head, not taking credit for it.

Even if Song Fuling wasn't the person involved in such a situation, he wouldn't ignore it.

"No matter what, you two saved my life. Here's what I'll do: after get off work today, I'll treat you to dinner as a small token of my gratitude."

Song Fuling smiled, still feeling a bit scared when she thought about what happened that day.

Although she was no longer a naive young girl, she still valued her innocence highly.

Even if someone were to benefit from it, it certainly wouldn't be a scumbag like Hua Zhenghao.

"You can have this."

Ye Bai did not refuse. It was just a meal. Now that Queen Qin's incompatible fate was protecting him, he didn't need to worry about being punished by heaven.

Moreover, this meal wasn't obtained through any mystical means, so it's perfectly fine.

Of course, the main reason he agreed so readily was that Jiang Nuai would be going with him.

If it were just him and Song Fuling, that would be fine, but although this beautiful department head is single, he is now a married man.

Even if it's just in name, you still have to avoid suspicion, otherwise your jealous tigress at home is likely to lash out.

Ye Bai probably didn't even realize that, at some point, he started to consider Qin Wanqing's feelings.

"Teacher Ye, Director Song told you about inviting us to dinner tonight, right?"

As soon as Ye Bai returned to the classroom office, Jiang Nuai glanced around and came closer to ask in a low voice.

The way he was so careful seemed to be afraid that other colleagues would hear him.

This left Ye Bai both amused and bewildered, and he couldn't help but feel a strange sensation.

This Teacher Jiang is, after all, an assassin trained in the Nanhuo Town Assassin Training Camp. I don't know how he developed such a timid and cautious habit.

"I said we'd go together. By the way, how's Kou'er?"

Ye Bai nodded and asked about Jiang Kou'er's situation.

"I'm much better now. The frequency of my flare-ups has decreased recently, and sometimes I can even go out for a walk with Shen Zhu."

When Jiang Nuai mentioned her younger sister, her eyes were filled with deep gratitude as she looked at Ye Bai.

She knew very well that if she hadn't met Ye Bai, Jiang Kou'er's illness would not have been cured, and she wouldn't even have been able to maintain the status quo.

There are certainly more than just Ye Bai in the world who knows the "Thirteen Ghost Needles," but the only one she could possibly encounter is probably him.

From this perspective, it is no exaggeration to say that Ye Bai is the savior of these sisters.

"Keep her taking the medicine. I'll go for a follow-up check-up when I have time in the next few days."

Ye Bai nodded; Jiang Kou'er's recovery was not surprising to him.

"By the way, Teacher Ye, Director Hua hasn't come to school since that incident..."

Jiang Nuai said again in a low voice.

"Well, it's normal that he doesn't come. He's a department head, after all; he should have some self-respect."

Ye Bai didn't take it to heart. Hua Zhenghao's drugging was exposed, which was more than just a matter of losing face.

If Song Fuling insists on pursuing this matter, Director Hua will be arrested.

Although he escaped unscathed in the end, it's normal for him to hide for a while.

Ye Bai's idea was not wrong, but what he did not expect was that when he was eating lunch in the cafeteria, the police suddenly appeared and found him and Jiang Nuai.

"Is that Ye Bai and Jiang Nuai? Come with us."

The police looked at Ye Bai and his companion with a wary expression, their right hands still resting on the holsters at their waists.

Judging from the situation, if Ye Bai and Jiang Nuai make any unusual moves, the other party might draw their guns on the spot.

"Um, I'm friends with your Fish Team, could you tell me what happened?"

Ye Bai was quite surprised, having no idea why the police had suddenly summoned them.

After returning from the mountains, although he used some methods, they did not escalate to the level of illegality or crime.

Could it be that Jiang Nuai secretly did something? Or has her identity as an assassin been exposed?

But thinking about it, it's unlikely to be that bad. Besides, if that were the case, there would be more than two policemen coming; it would be a whole group.

"Don't try to get on my good side! Let me tell you, when we enforce the law, we're ruthless and unforgiving; no one can change that!"

This young policeman was clearly a hothead, the kind who had just graduated from police academy, and he didn't even give Yu Anqi any face.

The older policeman next to him couldn't stand it anymore, nudged the other man, and whispered, "Don't talk nonsense!"

Then, he looked at Ye Bai and Jiang Nuai and smiled, "Don't be afraid, we just want you to go back and investigate the situation."

Soon, Ye Bai and Jiang Nuai arrived at the police station, where they unexpectedly ran into an acquaintance.

It wasn't Yu Anqi, but the department head, Song Fuling!

Then, Ye Bai and Jiang Nuai finally figured out what had happened.

It turns out it's related to that Director Hua.

Hua Zhenghao is dead.

The death occurred at home, but the police have not yet revealed the cause of death, clearly not wanting to tell Ye Bai and the others.

The reason they were called in for questioning was simple: the three of them were among the suspects.

Because the last people Hua Zhenghao saw before he died were Ye Bai and the other two.

That bar had surveillance cameras, and they recorded Ye Bai and the others in the footage.

After that, Hua Zhenghao never left his home again, ordering takeout for everything, from grocery shopping to meals.

Until today, he was found dead in his home...

Fortunately, Hua Zhenghao, who lives alone, hires a housekeeper to clean his house every week; otherwise, the neighbors probably wouldn't have noticed until the body started to decompose.

After figuring out why he had been called in by the police, Ye Bai finally breathed a sigh of relief and recounted the events of that day in detail.

Since Hua Zhenghao wasn't killed by him, there's nothing to hide.

Besides, it's not a bad thing that such scum is dead.

Otherwise, if he could drug Song Fuling last time, he might be able to target some female student next time.

"Have you noticed that you're involved in all of these recent murder cases in Jingzhou?"

Because it was a private interview, Ye Bai was not with Jiang Nuai and Song Fuling.

The person in charge of questioning him was also an acquaintance, Yu Anqi, the captain of the criminal investigation team.

However, the policewoman captain showed no joy at seeing an acquaintance; instead, she rubbed her head, feeling a headache coming on.

She never believed in superstitions, but for some reason, seeing Ye Bai now gave her a feeling that he was extremely eerie...
