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

"You're talking nonsense! I... how could I possibly have those things on me!"

Dongfang Wen's expression changed drastically again, and he quickly shook his head in denial.

"Heh, even at a time like this, you're still stubbornly denying it. Let me ask you, how do you know that this Illusionary Serpent Wood is related to Southeast Asian sorcery? Is this something an ordinary person should know?"

"Among all the people present, apart from me, Tong Yan, Captain Yu, and Lulu, no one else should know!"

Ye Bai sneered, realizing that this Director Dongfang was truly senile, having unknowingly revealed his true colors without even realizing it.

Upon hearing Ye Bai's words, Tong Yan, Yu Anqi, and the others' expressions completely changed.

Because what Ye Bai said was true, and even they had never heard of such mystical things before Ye Bai told them.

"I...I am the director of a TV station. I am knowledgeable, well-read, and have a wide range of interests. What's abnormal about me knowing knowledge that ordinary people don't?"

Although Dongfang Wen was somewhat flustered, he had been watching for many years and possessed composure and shrewdness. He quickly regained his composure and found a reasonable excuse for himself.

In the end, he put his hands behind his back, looking arrogant, perfectly embodying the demeanor of a leader.

This time, however, none of his lackeys responded; instead, they all blushed.

Everyone here is a veteran of the TV station, and they know better than anyone how knowledgeable this director of Oriental TV is.

It's true that he's ruined quite a few beautiful women, but as for his knowledge and cultural background, let's leave that aside.

Although they usually like to flatter Dongfang Wen, they are at least cultured people and still have some integrity.

“Captain Fish, there’s no need to waste words with this old man. Just search his body and then have those two bottles of medicine tested. That will tell you everything.”

Ye Bai did not take action himself, lest Dongfang Wen turn the tables and accuse him of framing someone.

As expected of a high-ranking official in the media department, Dongfangwen is quite professional when it comes to smearing people and distorting the truth.

"...Are you sure Dongfang Wen really has those things on him?"

Yu Anqi leaned close to Ye Bai's ear and asked in a low voice.

A body search is no small matter, given Dongfang Wen's status.

If they end up finding nothing, they'll all be in deep trouble.

"Don't worry, you have to trust my nose."

Ye Bai smiled and nodded.

"...It makes it sound like you're trying to steal jobs from police dogs."

Yu Anqi rolled her eyes at Ye Bai, then without further hesitation, she waved her hand, signaling her team members to take action and pin Dongfang Wen down.

She always trusted her intuition and didn't believe Ye Bai would joke about such an important matter.

"Stop! Do you know who I am? I'm the director of Jingzhou TV Station! How dare you treat me like this? I'll have your superiors deal with you! I'll strip all your police uniforms off..."

Seeing that Yu Anqi and the others actually dared to make a move, Dongfang Wen's face turned green. He resisted while shouting fiercely, continuing to use his official position to intimidate them.

Unfortunately, these team members only listened to their captain and didn't take Dongfang Wen's threats seriously at all.

If they are timid and hesitant just because criminals are of high status, then they don't deserve to wear this police uniform.

"Captain, there really are two bottles of medicine..."

Dongfang Wen, with his old arms and legs, was quickly subdued, and then the two small bottles in his pocket were taken out and handed to Yu Anqi.

"Heh, Director Dongfang, you've really got some nerve! Cuff him and take him back to the station!"

A cold glint flashed in Yu Anqi's beautiful eyes as she issued another order.

……

"Ye Bai, if you hadn't come today, I'm afraid I..."

At the police station, after giving her statement, Tong Yan looked at Ye Bai with gratitude that her eyes began to redden.

She never imagined that the culprit behind everything was Dongfang Wen.

The reason the other party used such methods was quite simple: they wanted to get her.

First, make her suffer from nightmares every day, then find the right time to take out the antidote and cure her symptoms.

If, by chance, Tong Yan is so grateful that she offers herself to him, that would be ideal. Even if such a thing doesn't happen, at least there will be a chance for the two of them to have a meal alone.

Then Dongfang Wen used that bottle of "Spring Water" with amazing medicinal effects, making it difficult for Tong Yan not to lose her virginity.

Indeed, from this point of view, Dongfang Wen never intended to kill Tong Yan.

But for Tong Yan, that outcome would be even more terrifying than death.

"With our relationship, there's no need to say anything more; these are all minor matters."

Ye Bai smiled and shook his head, then asked curiously, "Dongfang Wen will definitely be going in now, and the position of director of Jingzhou TV Station will be vacant then. Will you be able to take another step forward?"

"...It's not that easy. I've only been the deputy director for a short time. I guess someone from above will have to come down."

Tong Yan shook her head speechlessly. Ye Bai was actually most concerned about whether she would be promoted, which really left everyone at a loss for words.

"Congratulations, Comrade Ye Ke! The first time you went to the TV station, you killed an assassin. The second time, you killed a director. Now, the third time, you've brought down the station director..."

Yu Anqi walked over and said with a strange expression.

Because Dongfang Wen's case was very serious, she delegated her other cases to others and took charge of this one herself.

Just thinking about Ye Bai's "great achievements" made her unable to help but complain.

This guy's jinx-like tendencies are getting more and more bizarre.

Therefore, the nickname "Ye Conan" has been upgraded again to "Ye Ke"!

"Don't talk nonsense. They wanted to commit the crime themselves. It has nothing to do with me."

Ye Bai shook his head in denial, saying he wouldn't take the blame for this.

He then deliberately reminded Yu Anqi that the guy who made the wooden snake statue was no ordinary person and was likely from a mysterious criminal organization, so they had to get a breakthrough from Dongfang Wen.

After completing their cooperation, Ye Bai and Tong Yan didn't stay at the police station for long.

After having lunch together, the latter returned to the TV station, while he and Shen Lu drove off to complete another task assigned by Queen Qin.

Delivering cosmetics to Tongyan was just one of her errands; she also had to pick up other items.

The discovery of the wooden snake statue, which caused Dongfang Wen to dismount, was purely accidental.

Just as Ye Bai and Shen Lu had received the items and were preparing to deliver them to Qin Wanqing at the Qin Group headquarters, an unexpected call came to Ye Bai's phone.

"Ye Bai, where are you? Come here quickly, something's happened to your disciple..."

The voice was familiar, filled with anxiety, but the number was completely unfamiliar.

"Li Fengyun?"

Ye Bai asked suspiciously.

He couldn't quite tell if the other person's voice was distorted or if they were speaking in such a hurry that it was hard to hear clearly.

"Yes, yes, it's me! Where are you? Come to the art museum right away! Mi Zi has been beaten up, and Qian Qian has been kidnapped..."
