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

It was a metal plate about a foot long and about twenty centimeters wide.

Judging from its color, it appears to be made of bronze.

Above it is a pattern.

The center features a Bagua Taiji diagram, with the sun and moon positioned to the north and south respectively.

The painting depicts three mountains and five peaks in the center, surrounded by five lakes and four seas, creating an extremely magnificent and grand scene.

This is a "Shan Hai Zhen", a type of feng shui talisman.

It is a talisman created by the Taoist Zhang Tianshi lineage to ward off evil, and is not particularly rare.

However, the one in front of Ye Bai clearly did not belong to the category of ordinary Shanhai Town.

Because the Bagua Taiji diagram above is not a yin-yang fish, but a black fish!

In Qin Shengshui's office, Ye Bai unexpectedly saw the black fish Bagua pattern again!

"What? Xiaobai, you actually like this kind of feng shui item? Then you can just take it back. This thing is nice, but it's not a real bronze artifact and it's not worth much money."

Seeing Ye Bai staring intently at the town of Shanhai, Qin Shengshui couldn't help but laugh.

The more Ye Baiyue didn't want anything, the more Qin Shengshui wanted to give him something.

It's rather displeasing that a member of the Qin family, known for their inhuman extravagance, can't even give away a single gift.

"I do like this kind of thing, but this is the first time I've come across one made of bronze. Where did you get it, Uncle?"

Ye Bai smiled and looked at Qin Shengshui, his gaze calm, but he stared intently into the other's eyes.

This is the third black fish Bagua artifact that he can confirm so far.

The first item, naturally, was the black fish-shaped Bagua mirror in his hand.

The second item was a small box in the hands of Xiaotaozi's mother, Qu Yunting.

Ye Bai hasn't seen what the small box looks like yet, but judging from the Bagua Mirror and the Mountain and Sea Town, they are both related to feng shui talismans.

This is a very groundbreaking clue; it seems that the black fish Bagua pattern wouldn't appear on ordinary objects.

"Hmm, this must have been a gift from someone, but I can't quite remember the details."

Qin Shengshui thought for a moment and shook his head helplessly.

Ye Bai frowned slightly; he couldn't tell if Qin Shengshui's answer was a lie.

It's impossible to tell whether it's true or false.

Qin Laosan's shrewdness is absolutely top-notch.

"Then I'll shamelessly take it and give it to Wanqing to take back. She likes these kinds of things too, so I'll just say it was a gift from you, Third Uncle."

Ye Bai didn't ask any more questions and carefully took down the Mountain and Sea Town.

Although Qin Shengshui said the item was worthless, he didn't dare gamble on whether he would be punished by heaven, so it was necessary to throw Queen Qin out to take the blame.

What Qin Shengshui gave to Qin Wanqing was none of Ye Baimao's business.

Afterwards, Ye Bai did not stay in Qin Shengshui's office for long and took his leave.

Qin Shengshui is not Qin Shengfeng; he is not only intelligent, but also has an extremely high IQ.

Ye Bai found it extremely difficult to extract information from the other party.

The acquisition of a black fish-shaped Bagua artifact was already an unexpected delight.

Just as Ye Bai left, the bookshelf against the wall on one side of Qin Shengshui's office suddenly opened slowly, revealing a hidden door.

Qin Shengfeng walked out and said unhappily, "Third Brother, is it necessary for you to make me hide from this brat? Do you think I'm afraid of him?"

It turned out that the sixth son of the Qin family had not run out of the Qin Group headquarters building, but had instead hidden in a secret room in Qin Shengshui's office.

But it must be said that this was undoubtedly a brilliant move, one that would be hard for anyone to have guessed.

The saying "the darkest place is under the lamp" is probably a good example of this.

This was clearly Qin Shengshui's idea; Qin Shengfeng, with his limited intelligence, would never have thought of it.

"This isn't a question of whether you're afraid or not. Since your plan has failed, it's best to avoid running into Ye Bai for the time being."

Qin Shengshui shook his head helplessly.

If possible, he didn't want Qin Shengfeng to disappear, because that would easily be seen as him fleeing to avoid punishment.

But Qin Shengfeng's intelligence is undeniable. If he doesn't hide, whether he encounters Ye Bai or Qin Wanqing, he could probably get the truth out of them in just a few words.

As for brain kernels, Qin's sixth son can't be said to have none at all, but they're not much bigger than a peanut.

He originally disagreed with Qin Shengfeng using this method to deal with Ye Bai because the success rate was low and it could easily cause big trouble.

But Qin Shengfeng stubbornly refused to listen and remained confident.

In the end, Qin Shengshui simply let him be, and now it has been proven that his judgment was correct.

Not only did Ye Bai survive, but Qin Shengfeng, the mastermind behind it all, was also exposed.

At this moment, Qin Shengshui also began to understand how Qin Shengtu felt back then.

Having such a stupid younger brother as a teammate is truly exhausting.

"What if we meet? Would he dare to lay a hand on me? I'd be more than happy to see him; I'd have my bodyguards cripple that little bastard!"

Qin Shengfeng scoffed dismissively, not taking Ye Bai seriously at all.

In his view, that brat was only so lawless because he was favored by Old Madam Qin.

If he weren't afraid of angering the old lady, he would have sent someone to kill her long ago.

Using this method of creating an accident is clearly not as satisfying as directly sending an assassin.

Therefore, if Ye Bai dares to make a move against him, it will only be in line with his intentions.

"Tonight, I'll send a car to take you to Shanghai. Go and handle the business at the branch office there, and don't come back for now. Remember, this is an order!"

Qin Shengshui didn't bother to say more and made the arrangements directly.

"Third brother..."

Qin Shengfeng was unconvinced and was about to refuse when he saw Qin Shengshui's calm and deep eyes quietly watching him.

This sent a chill down his spine, and he quickly swallowed back the words that were about to come out, nodding obediently and saying, "I'll listen to Third Brother."

To outsiders, Qin Shengshui has always been seen as a kind and gentle man, like a wealthy and benevolent man from ancient times. Even when talking to ordinary employees, he is always amiable and gentle.

But as the younger brother and a member of the Qin family's upper echelons, Qin Shengfeng knew better than anyone how terrifying his third brother was.

If you really anger the other party, even he won't get away with it.

So even if he was unwilling, he had to obey the other party's arrangements.

Fortunately, he hadn't been to Shanghai in a long time, and it's much more fun than Jingzhou, so it wouldn't hurt to stay there for a while; he could treat it as a vacation.

……

"Your third uncle also has something related to the Black Fish Bagua Diagram? Do you think he's the mastermind behind it all?"

Inside the office, Qin Wanqing's beautiful eyes widened in surprise as Ye Bai took out the piece of Shan Hai Town.

"Whether he's the mastermind or not is hard to say right now, but this black fish Bagua diagram is probably a big problem..."

Ye Bai shook his head.

Whatever it is, appearing only once might be a coincidence.

But if these incidents keep happening one after another, and all of them are related to the Qin family, it is clearly not a coincidence.

"What is the meaning behind this? What does it represent?"

Qin Wanqing looked at the black fish Bagua diagram above Shanhai Town, her delicate eyebrows slowly furrowing.

"I want to know too, but even if there are two of us who know about this, we can't find it at all."

Ye Bai sighed. Both the "senior fellow Daoist" and the "number one handsome man of the Xuanmen" were currently out of contact, and he was at a loss for what to do.

"By the way, tomorrow is the Cold Clothes Festival. Do you have any plans?"

Qin Wanqing suddenly asked.

"The Cold Clothes Festival?"

Ye Bai's expression turned serious as he thought of the email left on his computer by the assassin from Nanhuo Town...
