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

Thanks to Xiao Taozi, the relationship between Ye Bai and Qin Shengtu has improved considerably.

Especially after the other party reminded him that there was danger in taking the driving test, he had, in a sense, betrayed the Qin family's upper echelons.

Even if they can't become allies for the time being, the possibility of cooperation has begun to emerge.

"The specifics are still unclear, but both of your third uncle's bodyguards are dead."

Qin Shengtu shook his head, his already gloomy face now looking even more sinister.

"...Could it be infighting among the Qin family's higher-ups?"

Seeing Qin Shengtu's reaction, Ye Bai suddenly had a thought.

Previously, both he and Qin Wanqing had guessed that Qin Shengshui was staging a self-inflicted accusation to completely clear himself of suspicion.

But now that I think about it carefully, we can't rule out another possibility.

The upper echelons of the Qin family are not a monolithic entity.

When it comes to power, it's never as reliable as having it yourself as someone else does.

It's much more satisfying to be in charge of your own affairs than to humbly rely on others.

If Qin Shengshui doesn't return from abroad, the person in the Qin family's upper echelons who can sit on the president's seat of the Qin Group will naturally be replaced.

For example, Qin Shengtu and Qin Shengfeng.

Although the sixth son of the Qin family was not very bright, he was just as eager for power.

If given the chance to rise to power, I certainly wouldn't miss it.

As for Qin Shengtu, needless to say, before Qin Shengshui returned, this fifth Qin was always a core figure in the Qin family's upper echelons, and he was quite ambitious.

He is even determined to get the position of president of the Qin Group!

Although they've kept a low profile now, it's only because they've been overshadowed by Qin Shengshui.

Whether in terms of ability or connections, Qin Laosan is far superior to Qin Laowu.

Therefore, according to the theory that those who seek higher profits are more likely to be suspicious, the possibility that Qin Shengtu hired someone to commit murder is obviously very high.

However, to find out the truth, Ye Bai would have to see Qin Shengshui with his own eyes.

The death of two bodyguards doesn't mean anything. Given the ruthless nature of such a figure, he would even abandon his own wife and children for his goals, so sacrificing a few subordinates is nothing to him.

"By the way, Xiaobai, I'll need you to look after Xiaotao for a while longer. I'm really too busy right now. But don't worry, Fifth Uncle won't let you help for nothing..."

Qin Shengtu was clearly unaware that Ye Bai had listed him as a key suspect, and was still begging the other party to help take care of his daughter.

“No problem, Wanqing and I both like Xiaotaozi very much, and we also have time to take care of her.”

Ye Bai smiled and nodded, not refusing.

Little Peach is their only link to Qin Shengtu right now; otherwise, given Qin Laowu's temperament, he wouldn't even give them a second glance, let alone tip them off.

But Ye Bai wasn't using Xiao Taozi; he genuinely liked that cute little girl with a sweet tongue.

Moreover, it will be a long time before the toxins in Xiao Taozi's body are completely removed, and as a doctor, Ye Bai also has a responsibility to take care of her.

After chatting with Qin Shengtu for a while and finding that they had nothing more to say, Ye Bai then went to Zhao Jianqiang.

Upon seeing Ye Bai approach, Third Aunt Qin Yuezhu's face darkened, and she snorted coldly before moving away.

Although Qin Wanqing bought her shares, it actually did the couple a great favor, and the price she paid was much higher than that of the Qin family's senior management. However, Qin Yuezhu, who was known for being stupid, still felt that Ye Bai and Qin Wanqing had joined forces to steal their things.

While they wouldn't dare to be sarcastic or sarcastic when they met normally, they certainly wouldn't be very polite.

To put it in the simplest terms, seeing Ye Bai makes me feel sick and nauseous.

In contrast, Zhao Jianqiang, Ye Bai's third aunt's husband, was very enthusiastic towards him.

There was nothing that could be done about it. Ye Bai even knew where his mistress lived, which meant that the other party had a handle on him.

Most importantly, Ye Bai had previously prescribed some medicine to help Zhao Jianqiang prevent miscarriage, and the effects were quite noticeable after taking it.

After several follow-up visits to the hospital, even the doctors exclaimed that it was a miracle.

It's important to know that Zhao Jianqiang's mistress was in a very bad situation when she first became pregnant.

Even the doctor advised that it would be best to terminate the pregnancy, otherwise it could easily lead to danger.

In severe cases, it could even result in the death of both mother and child.

But Xiao San'er knew how much Zhao Jianqiang loved children, and was determined to give birth to the baby.

So during that period, the two of them lived in constant fear.

From this perspective, Ye Bai is definitely Zhao Jianqiang's benefactor.

So not only did I completely lose the will to oppose it, but I also felt a sense of warmth every time I saw it.

Only after stepping outside the situation did Zhao Jianqiang finally see things clearly.

Ye Bai is not a useless adopted son who needs to rely on the Qin family to curry favor; on the contrary, he is a peerless master who is hiding his true abilities!

Trying to fight with this kind of person will only lead to your demise without you even knowing how you died.

"Third Uncle, any new information lately?"

Ye Bai and Zhao Jianqiang walked to the emergency exit and asked with smiles.

The kindness must be repaid, but there is very little Zhao Jianqiang can do to help Ye Bai right now.

Gathering information is one of the few methods available.

After all, having been the son-in-law of the Qin family for so many years, Zhao Jianqiang had long since integrated into the upper-class circles of Jingzhou.

Even if their reputation isn't great, they still have some sources of information.

The main reason is that Zhao Jianqiang has money.

Although Qin Yuezhu controlled the family's finances, Zhao Jianqiang had long since mastered the art of saving money on his own.

Otherwise, how could he afford to keep a mistress outside?

Now that he has a child, he needs to make even more money, using every trick in the book.

Zhao Jianqiang is becoming increasingly adept at dealing with foolish women like Qin Yuezhu who only know how to throw tantrums.

With money in hand, it undoubtedly became much easier for Zhao Jianqiang to gather information.

"There are quite a few, and some of them are related to you!"

Zhao Jianqiang smiled and nodded, then, without keeping him in suspense, whispered, "Zhao Wuyai has been going to Donghetang a lot these past few days. I heard he's gathering people to get revenge for the time you bullied him at the bar..."

That day at the November Bar, although the place had been cleared out, nothing stays hidden forever, and the news that the eldest son of the Zhao family had lost face eventually got out.

"Why look for Donghetang? The Zhao family should have quite a few experts, right?"

Ye Bai asked, somewhat puzzled.

He wasn't surprised at all that Zhao Wuyai wanted to take revenge on him.

That young master of the Zhao family has always been vengeful; it would be abnormal if he didn't seek revenge after suffering such a great loss.

Ye Bai found it strange. Logically speaking, the Zhao family should be full of experts, while Donghe Hall is just an underground force. It can bully ordinary people without any problem, but it has to kneel down when it encounters a truly powerful person. Could it be that there are some ruthless people hiding there?
