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

"I said... are you really sure you saw it clearly back then?"

As Ye Bai walked out of the third villa, he looked at Qin Wanqing with a suspicious expression and asked her a question.

It only took about twenty minutes for the three of them to walk through all three villas.

One of the houses was locked, while the other two were occupied.

The key problem is that they are not police officers and do not have a search warrant, so they can't just rush in and search everywhere.

Unfortunately, the villas in this community are all very large, with the smallest being around 1,000 square meters and having numerous rooms.

If you don't search carefully one by one, it's hard to find even if there are a hundred or eighty people hiding inside, let alone just one person.

Therefore, all Ye Bai and his group could do was disguise themselves as property management staff in the community and conduct registration and surveys.

Anyway, these days any Tom, Dick, or Harry can do property management, and they change people more often than they change underwear, so they don't have to worry about being noticed anything unusual.

The plan worked. The nanny who opened the door didn't suspect anything, but after observing her carefully, Ye Bai also couldn't discern anything from her face.

Logically speaking, unless the master of the esoteric arts is the owner of the house, the nanny's expression should change somewhat when asked if there are any guests at home.

Of course, it's also possible that the nanny's composure is so exceptional that she can't show her emotions at all.

But that possibility is obviously very small. What kind of family's nanny would have such ability?

Even the Governor's Office of Jingzhou couldn't have done that!

Therefore, Ye Bai now suspects that Qin Wanqing may have misjudged him.

After all, it's not uncommon for two people to look alike, especially given the large population of Jingzhou.

"I'm absolutely certain! It's that old bastard!"

Qin Wanqing nodded, still very confident.

"That's strange..."

Ye Bai's brows furrowed slowly as he turned and looked at the three villas again.

Finally, their gaze fell upon the deserted villa.

If the other two companies are indeed fine, then the problem likely lies with the third company.

Is there really no one inside, or are there people inside but pretending that no one is there?

If it's the latter, then everything makes sense.

After all, no one has a rule that you can't pretend no one is home if someone is there.

Of course, it's also possible that Ye Bai guessed wrong.

But it's not difficult to figure it out; you just need to go in and take a look.

"You two go wait for me in the car. I'm going to check what's going on at this place."

Ye Bai made a decision instantly and gave instructions to Qin Wanqing and Shen Lu.

In this most upscale residential community in Jingzhou, visitors are not allowed to bring bodyguards into the community, except for residents.

Because it could potentially pose a threat to the residents here, no one knows whether bringing so many people here is for their own protection or to raid their homes.

As a result, there are only the three of them here now. Once Ye Bai enters the villa, only the two of them will be left.

Just to be on the safe side, Ye Bai felt it would be safer for them to stay in the car.

Although there were no guns in the car, it was bulletproof.

Moreover, if things go wrong, just drive away; even if you encounter a master of internal energy, it won't be a big problem.

Secretly altering someone's fate is one of the most advanced techniques in the Xuanmen (Taoist) world.

There are probably no more than ten people in the whole world who could do that.

Although Ye Bai couldn't guess the other party's identity, his strength was definitely no weaker than the "Five Scoundrels".

Not all members of the Xuanmen sect know kung fu, but if an individual is not strong enough, no one would dare to alter another person's fate.

Even the weakest form of Heavenly Punishment can easily annihilate anyone below the level of Dark Force!

The idea of ​​someone vomiting blood and dying after giving a fortune reading might seem fantastical to ordinary people, but it's quite common in the world of Taoism.

"Isn't it too dangerous for you to go in alone? Why don't you let Lulu go with you? She's trained, after all..."

Qin Wanqing's pretty face changed slightly, and she became somewhat worried.

She now knew that Ye Bai's kung fu was quite good, but she had no idea what level he was at.

But the strength of many is an eternal truth, and besides, Shen Lu is certainly not a mere figurehead now.

Among the Qin family's bodyguards, his strength is currently only weaker than Qin Zhong and Qin Na.

Upon hearing Qin Wanqing's suggestion, Shen Lu's big eyes lit up, but after glancing at her mistress, her head drooped again.

She can still tell what's important. Her son-in-law is so capable that whether she helps or not makes no difference.

But the young lady is a complete weakling; without her protection, it would be troublesome if she encountered danger.

"No need, you two just need to take care of yourselves. I'll definitely be fine."

Ye Bai shook his head.

"...Alright, be careful then. If you really encounter danger, shout loudly. The security measures in this community are quite good."

"Those security guards are either recently discharged soldiers or retired combat athletes..."

Seeing this, Qin Wanqing stopped insisting and gave her some more detailed instructions.

Ye Bai wasn't impatient. To be honest, it felt really good to have someone care about you.

After Queen Qin finished speaking, Ye Bai moved and went around to the back of the villa.

This kind of high-end villa is covered by surveillance cameras everywhere, from the front door to the backyard. Ye Bai had to find a blind spot in the surveillance, otherwise if there were really people inside, they would be discovered immediately.

The villa occupies a huge area; in addition to the enormous front yard, the backyard is also quite large.

After wandering around for a while, Ye Bai finally realized with no other choice that the owner of this villa was indeed a very wealthy person. The surveillance cameras were so numerous that they covered not only the entire wall but also several meters of the surrounding area.

Even with Ye Bai's skills, finding a blind spot to climb over the wall was simply impossible.

No matter how skilled he is, he can't fly...

Frustrated, Ye Bai could only choose the most primitive and simplest method.

That is, to destroy a camera.

Anyway, he now has a six-figure bank account, so he can afford to lose a few security cameras.

What's more, now that I'm working for Queen Qin, all kinds of expenses will be reimbursed by my boss.

So, after picking up a stone and knocking down the camera in the corner, Ye Bai lightly leaped and vaulted into the backyard of the villa.

Using the trees as cover, Ye Bai quickly approached the villa.

Because he was focused on finding the surveillance footage, Ye Bai didn't notice that the moment he jumped into the villa, the curtains in a room on the fifth floor next to the backyard were suddenly pulled open slightly.

A pair of cold, sinister eyes were silently watching his movements...
