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

The toolbox Qin Zhong mentioned was about one meter high and half a meter wide.

A normal adult naturally cannot squeeze in.

Unless it's a corpse, the kind that can be twisted and folded at will.

But as a master of metaphysics, that feng shui master was naturally not an ordinary person.

Once you've learned the art of bone shrinking and practiced it to a certain level, you can completely shrink yourself inside that toolbox and be brought out by someone without them noticing.

As it turned out, Ye Bai's judgment was correct.

After Qin Wanqing notified Qin Zhong, the Qin family bodyguards went to the property management office immediately and found the cleaning staff.

After some questioning, the terrified cleaning staff dared not hide anything and told everything they knew.

Sure enough, there was a living person hidden in the toolbox she pulled out that day.

But she wasn't an accomplice; she was just helping out because of the other party's pleas and the offer of money.

According to the other party, he was being watched by enemies outside, and even if he called the police, it would be useless. This was the only way he could escape.

The kind-hearted cleaning lady immediately softened. Although she thought it was a bit absurd, she still agreed...

After figuring out the whole story, Queen Qin was so angry that her pretty face turned ashen, and she gave Qin Zhong a severe scolding.

This was indeed a serious oversight on the part of Qin Zhong and his team. Knowing that the other side had many tricks up their sleeves, they should have at least followed and investigated such a large toolbox.

As a result, Qin Zhong failed to realize that the other party had escaped right under their noses.

"Well, it's not like we gained nothing at all. At least now we can confirm that the guy who secretly altered your fate and the 'designer' who caused chaos in the Tu family are the same person..."

Seeing that Queen Qin's chest had swelled up with anger, Ye Bai quickly comforted her.

Qin Zhong and the others have obtained the surveillance footage from the gatekeeper of the villa complex, which captured the appearance of the Xuanmen master.

He was a middle-aged man, around forty or fifty years old, of medium build, with an unremarkable appearance.

After Ye Bai had Qin Wanqing send the photo to Tu Baili, the latter immediately recognized it as the guy who had secretly arranged many inauspicious feng shui formations for the Tu family.

But Ye Bai didn't recognize the other person; he had never seen them before.

This is normal, though. There are too many people in the Xuanmen sect, and even if he is the leader of the Xuanmen sect, he can only really know a handful of people.

Moreover, those qualified to have contact with Ye Bai are all truly top figures in the Xuanmen sect; they would never do such low-class things.

"By the way, you'd better send this guy's picture to everyone who's on good terms with the Qin family, and ask them if they've encountered any feng shui problems..."

Ye Bai reminded him again.

Although Ye Bai couldn't accept bribes from others for solving their feng shui problems, Queen Qin could give him money, which would be a considerable source of income.

You see, after buying the car, he went back to being penniless.

If he doesn't want to eat lamb skewers and has to let Sha Lulu treat him, he still needs to work harder to earn money.

"Do you want to confirm whether the other party is targeting only me and the Tu family, or everyone who is on good terms with the Qin family, in order to narrow down the scope of the mastermind behind it?"

Qin Wanqing's beautiful eyes lit up. She suddenly realized that although this guy was a bit of a jerk, he was really smart and had given her so many surprises today.

"Yes, that's what it means."

Ye Bai blushed slightly, but still nodded in agreement without hesitation.

He couldn't let Queen Qin know that his purpose in making the suggestion was just to make money; that would easily enrage the tigress.

After chatting with Qin Wanqing for a few more minutes, Ye Bai checked the time and realized it was almost time, so he got dressed and went to Song Fuling's house for their appointment.

This time, Queen Qin didn't resort to sarcasm, not because Ye Bai's performance had been good and satisfied her, but because she was busy sending messages to those who were on good terms with the Qin family and didn't have time to deal with this guy.

Ye Bai originally wanted to take a taxi, since it would be a bit much to bring people along when going to someone else's house for a free meal.

But Shen Lu insisted on coming along, looking at him with a pitiful expression.

The way she acted was as if her son-in-law was going to cheat on her and abandon her, his obedient and adorable little maid.

In the end, Ye Bai couldn't stand the little girl's pitiful act any longer, so he had no choice but to take her with him.

On the way, Ye Bai called Song Fuling and told her what was going on.

He couldn't very well go upstairs to eat by himself and leave Shen Lu in the car; that would be too cruel.

Fortunately, Song Fuling didn't care at all. It was just a matter of adding an extra pair of chopsticks, and she was actually hoping that the house would be more lively.

After being hurt by that scumbag Qi Shang, Song Fuling simply didn't like interacting with men; she didn't develop social anxiety or reject everyone.

Not knowing what gift to buy, Ye Bai simply bought some fruit, which he and Shen Lu carried upstairs.

It's impolite to visit someone empty-handed.

In particular, he also brought along a little follower who freeloaded on meals.

When Ye Bai and Shen Lu arrived, Song Fuling and Jiang Nuai were already busy in the kitchen.

Shen Lu, who was very perceptive, went over to help out, while Ye Bai was rather bored.

He wanted to quickly examine the beast-bodied, human-headed statue and see if it had any similarities to the Black Fish Bagua Mirror.

But if that thing is placed in Song Fuling's bedroom, it's easy for a grown man like him to sneak in and be misunderstood as having ulterior motives.

So, to kill time, Ye Bai could only find another book to read.

When Ye Bai got to the bookshelf, he looked up and saw the same book with a photo tucked inside it that he had seen before.

This gave him a thought, and he took it off again.

He opened the book, and the photograph reappeared before his eyes.

Some of the yellowed photos show three men and one woman, with the young Song Fuling smiling radiantly.

"Could that scumbag Qi Shang be among them?"

Ye Bai looked closely at the three men in the photo, especially the one on the far right who seemed vaguely familiar to him.

Very few men were close to Song Fuling, and since Qi Shang was her male best friend, he should logically be one of these three men.

"I'm absolutely certain I've seen this person, or rather, this photo, somewhere before..."

Ye Bai looked closely at the young man on the far side, and the more he looked, the more familiar he seemed.

After a moment, his eyes suddenly narrowed, and he quickly pulled out his phone.

I opened the photo album and flipped through it for a while before finding several portrait photos.

Then, Ye Bai's gaze fell on one of the portraits.

He was a burly man with sharp features, about thirty years old, wearing camouflage clothing.

But his eyes had a sinister look, like those of a venomous snake.

"Shang Sanning... Hua Shang!"

Ye Bai's eyes flashed with a sharp light. Now he understood why he always found the photo in Song Fuling's house so familiar.

The young man on the far right had the exact same look in his eyes as Shang Sanning from the "Five Scoundrels"!
