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

"Young master, young master, you didn't see it. After Grandpa Chen gave the medicine to Mi Zizhen, the characteristics of the millet started to return to normal. Those doctors who were initially skeptical were so shocked that their eyes almost popped out!"

"The one with the strongest reaction was that vicious woman. After she found out that Mi Zizhen was temporarily out of danger, she was so angry that she kept banging her head against the wall. I wanted to help her, but Grandpa Chen held me back..."

As soon as they returned to the art museum, Shen Lu began chattering excitedly to Ye Bai, her adorable face beaming with excitement.

"It's perfectly normal for a bunch of mortals not to recognize my life-extending elixir."

Ye Bai smiled and ruffled Shen Lu's hair, not surprised by the result.

Those medicines were made by him back in the mountains using many precious medicinal herbs. Their effects are comparable to a hundred-year-old ginseng king, making them most suitable for prolonging life.

If this medicine also cannot save Mi Zizhen, then it can only mean that Mi Zizhen's lifespan has come to an end, and it is beyond human power to save him.

"By the way, young master, why are you still here? Haven't you gone to find Mi Qianqian?"

Shen Lu asked, puzzled.

Her relationship with Mi Qianqian was just so-so, because the other woman never bought her any treats.

But since she is Mi Zizhen's sister, it's natural that we should care about her.

"We are waiting for news."

Ye Bai shook his head and sighed.

The museum's surveillance cameras had been compromised, making it impossible for them to find any characteristics of the kidnappers.

They don't even know how the other party left.

The bodyguards from the Qin, Li, and Xie families have already been sent out to look for clues, so even if they were added, it wouldn't be of much use.

However, it was actually Yu Anqi's idea to leave them in the art museum.

Although the police captain was not very old, she was very experienced and also noticed the unusual aspects of this fight and kidnapping case.

If the kidnappers' target wasn't Mi Qianqian but these wealthy young masters, sending them out to search for her would only play into their hands.

"Young master, young master, what are you looking for in the art museum? Is there some treasure here?"

After Ye Bai said a few words to her, he started wandering around the art museum. Shen Lu's big eyes lit up and she began to use her signature clever imagination to fill in the blanks.

"...You're overthinking it. There's no treasure here, and nothing good to eat."

Ye Bai found it both funny and exasperating; this little girl's mind was truly anything but simple.

All they do is eat and play.

"Oh."

Upon hearing this, Shen Lu immediately drooped her head and became listless.

"Ye Bai, several hours have passed, and there's still no news from the police. Are you sure Qianqian won't be in any danger?"

The Xie brothers followed behind Ye Bai, asking with worried expressions.

Although they weren't like Li Fengyun and Cao Yuanhu, who had become Mi Qianqian's devoted admirers, they were still very concerned about each other's safety.

In this era where appearance is everything, Mi Qianqian's looks are as powerful as a nuclear bomb.

"If you were kidnappers, how could you manage to take a living person away silently without being caught on any surveillance cameras?"

Ye Bai did not answer Xie Bunao's question, but suddenly looked at the two of them and asked.

So much time has passed, and the police have checked all the surveillance footage on the roads around the art museum, but they still haven't found anything. This situation is really quite strange.

“Son-in-law, son-in-law, I know this! Use a truck! One of those with a completely enclosed cargo compartment, the cameras can't see inside.”

Before the Xie brothers could even speak, Shen Lu raised her little hand to answer first.

“The art museum does not allow outside trucks to stay for long. They must leave after unloading, so unless the timing is perfect, this method cannot be implemented.”

Xie Buku shook his head, rejecting Shen Lu's guess.

Mi Qianqian was kidnapped halfway through the fashion show. At that time, the police had already questioned the museum staff carefully and found no suspicious vehicles, including pickup trucks, nearby.

The parking lot's surveillance cameras are working properly, so confirming this shouldn't be difficult.

"Could it be that it slipped into the ambulance and escaped?"

Xie Bu Nao's imagination ran wild, and he felt that he was now a great genius, just like those famous detectives in books.

"...When Qianqian went missing, the ambulance hadn't arrived yet."

Xie Buku poured cold water on her younger brother, extinguishing his dream of becoming a detective.

"They put the person in a prop box and smuggled them out?"

Shen Lu thought of the feng shui master who had paralyzed her young mistress; he had used this method to escape from right under Qin Zhong's nose and the others' noses.

The Xie brothers had no idea about this. Upon hearing this, their eyes lit up, and their expressions towards the little girl changed.

Because she used to follow Qin Wanqing around, Sha Lulu was quite famous in the elite circles of Jingzhou. Everyone knew that she was a silly girl who wasn't very bright and loved to eat.

But now it seems, could it be that all of that was just an appearance, and that this little girl is actually the legendary wise woman who appears foolish?

They never imagined they could smuggle people out in boxes; they never would have thought of such a stealthy method.

“Mi Qianqian is too tall to fit in a regular box. But if the box is too big, it can only be transported by car, but there are no such conspicuous objects in the parking lot’s surveillance footage.”

Ye Bai shook his head; Mi Qianqian's situation was different from that of the feng shui master.

The latter possesses the ability to shrink bones, while Mi Qianqian is merely an ordinary person.

Given that the person was nearly 1.8 meters tall and was alive rather than a corpse, one can only imagine how big the box must have been to fit them.

"How exactly did the kidnappers escape?"

The Xie brothers and Shen Lu were both dumbfounded, racking their brains but unable to come up with any other solutions.

After all, they had never been kidnappers before, so they were unfamiliar with the business.

Although I've watched some suspense dramas, I only watched them for entertainment and didn't remember much of the plot or details.

As typical rich young masters, their job is never to go out and have fun, but rather to stay at home and watch TV shows like ordinary people.

"I now strongly suspect that the kidnapper never took Mi Qianqian out of the art museum at all."

Faced with the three people's questions, Ye Bai pondered for a moment before giving a startling guess.

"What? You mean the kidnappers and Mi Qianqian are still hiding inside the art museum?"

The three of them were dumbfounded after hearing this. Xie Bu Nao even jumped up, his mouth agape in astonishment.

"It's hard to say whether the kidnappers are here or not, but I think it's very likely that Mi Qianqian is."

Ye Bai shook his head.

Since there are no surveillance cameras on the roads around the art museum showing the kidnappers taking the hostage away, it's entirely possible that the hostage wasn't taken out at all.

In particular, the kidnappers' purpose in abducting Mi Qianqian was not for the hostage herself.
