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

"It's nothing, she was just frightened and isn't feeling well."

Ye Bai made up a random excuse, intending to get away with it.

But to my surprise, this time, Lulu was clearly not so easy to fool.

"Young master, you're lying! I saw you touch Sister Tong, and then she screamed..."

Shen Lu pouted, looking like she was incredibly smart and knew everything.

When Ye Bai pinched Tong Yan's philtrum, the little girl saw it more like he was touching her because of the angle.

Most importantly, after the son-in-law touched her, Tong Yan cried out.

In Shen Lu's eyes, who wasn't very bright, the two were closely related.

Thinking back to those melodramatic scenes in TV dramas, it's hard for her not to overthink things.

"...You can say whatever you want to me, but please don't say that to your young lady."

Ye Bai was exhausted and didn't even bother to explain anymore.

"Brother Ye, Brother Ye, you really are a legendary martial arts master! You can even fly!"

"Could you teach me? I can be your maid..."

At this moment, Shen Zhu also ran over, looking at Ye Bai with an admiring expression, her mouth practically watering.

Ye Bai looked up and rubbed his forehead. He felt that he should open a special education school in the future and take in little girls like Shen Lu and Shen Zhu who weren't very bright.

Not long after, Ye Bai and Shen Lu took Tong Yan to the hospital for a comprehensive examination.

This was a requirement from the police, since Tong Yan was the hostage in this kidnapping and murder case, and they had to ensure that there were no hidden dangers to her body.

Even though Yu Anqi knew that Ye Bai's medical skills were very high, she still had to follow the proper procedures.

Just as Tong Yan finished her examination and returned to the police station to be questioned by Yu Anqi, Qin Wanqing finally arrived.

Although Lu Sita and Ding Shuai easily dealt with the group of men in black and captured the flashy-dressed martial arts expert, it still took them a long time for the road to finally be clear again.

Knowing that Ye Bai and the others were at the police station, they decided to meet there.

Qin Wanqing also needs to give a statement, since the scale of the brawl on the overpass is quite large.

Although no one died, more than a dozen people were seriously injured, and many more were slightly injured.

The police must take this serious incident seriously.

Moreover, these two cases were originally related.

“Mr. Ye, there were too many people and police around, so I couldn’t secretly take that kid away…”

Outside the corridor, Lu Sita spoke respectfully beside Ye Bai.

Ding Shuai didn't come here; instead, he took the injured Qin family bodyguards directly to the hospital.

The "kid" that Lu Sita mentioned was the guy dressed in brightly colored clothes.

"It's fine, it's the same as handing it over to the police for questioning."

Ye Bai nodded and did not blame Lu Sita.

Given the magnitude of this incident, the Jingzhou police dared not ignore it and would certainly investigate it as a major case.

Ye Bai estimated that even if the case was investigated to the end, it might not be able to uncover the real culprit hiding behind the scenes.

Whether it's the people on the overpass or the two kidnappers in District 8, they're essentially just small fry.

There must be another group above them, but that's where the trail ends.

Anyone who dares to attack the Queen of Jingzhou wouldn't expose themselves so easily.

Therefore, it makes no difference who interrogates whom.

The commotion lasted until late at night. Ye Bai and the others, without taking a break, went to the hospital after leaving the police station to check on the condition of the injured Qin family bodyguards.

Only after confirming that there were only a few people with serious injuries, but who would not be left with disabilities or in danger of death, did they finally feel relieved.

Then, a series of gurgling sounds began to ring out, as everyone had been through so much and was starving.

Ye Bai and the others fared even worse; they didn't even have time for dinner.

Fortunately, there were many late-night food stalls near the hospital that were open until the early hours of the morning. People didn't care about hygiene anymore and sent a few people to buy a bunch of food to fill their stomachs first.

After eating and drinking to our hearts' content, it was almost dawn.

After leaving a few people to keep watch, Ye Bai and the others finally returned to the Qin family manor.

After getting home and taking a shower, Ye Bai was about to lie down and go to sleep when he noticed Qin Wanqing, who had changed into pajamas, suddenly walking over, looking rather awkward.

"What do you want to do?"

Ye Bai tucked the blanket in tightly, a wary expression on his face.

Having just witnessed Tong Yan's illness, he now strongly suspects that Qin Wanqing is also trying to take advantage of him.

Queen Qin was definitely capable of taking advantage of someone's misfortune.

"...I just wanted to thank you, so why the hell are you making that face? Do you think I'm going to eat you up?"

Seeing this, Qin Wanqing was both ashamed and angry, and couldn't help but swear.

There was no way around it; Ye Bai looked so shameless at that moment, as if she were about to use force.

"Oh, I see. Why didn't you say so earlier? You scared me."

Ye Bai breathed a sigh of relief, then his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said, "Have you ever heard a saying?"

Qin Wanqing asked, puzzled, "What did you say?"

"Instead of empty words of concern, a large sum of money is more effective! So next time, there's no need for thanks, just send the money directly."

Ye Bai chuckled strangely.

"...You're just obsessed with money!"

Qin Wanqing rolled her eyes and turned to leave.

She didn't want to say another word to this guy who only talked about money and not feelings.

But after lying on the bed in a huff, Qin Wanqing suddenly had a jolt and remembered something.

When Ye Bai first came to the Qin family, she couldn't wait to resolve everything with him through transactions.

She would be happiest if they talked about money instead of feelings.

But why am I suddenly starting to feel a bit disgusted with this way of getting along?

Although she was unwilling to admit it, she did feel a strange sensation when she saw Lu Sita and Ding Shuai appear during the critical moment on the overpass today.

It was a feeling she had never experienced before—the sensation of being protected!

Although she was used to being independent and strong and never needed anyone's protection, at that moment, she suddenly felt that having someone protect her was actually quite nice.

Oh my god! Could it be that I've fallen for that greedy and lecherous guy?

That's impossible! Pshaw!

The more Qin Wanqing thought about it, the more embarrassed and angry she became, so she simply grabbed a newly bought cushion from the side and threw it hard at Ye Bai.

"Qin Wanqing, what's gotten into you again!"

Ye Bai, who had just fallen asleep, was so frightened that he almost jumped up and let out a roar of grief and indignation.

"Hehe, who told you to snore? Go to sleep, stop howling like a banshee in the middle of the night."

Queen Qin smiled and finally felt refreshed. She hugged the remaining pillow and fell asleep peacefully.

The two slept until noon before finally getting up, only to be woken up by Yu Anqi's phone call.

After an all-night interrogation, the case has made a breakthrough...
