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

The third floor of the art museum.

A group of bodyguards in black surrounded the rectangular booth, each with a mixture of excitement and wariness on their faces.

"Son-in-law, we suspect there's something wrong with the cabinets under this display stand..."

Upon seeing Ye Bai arrive, Qin Zhong, the team leader, quickly reported the situation.

After being greatly shocked by the feng shui master who escaped from his toolbox right under his nose, Qin Zhong also clearly grew a lot.

They pay more attention to details when doing things, fearing that their negligence might cause serious consequences.

He was the first to notice the anomaly in the cabinet under the booth.

These display cases are all locked very securely, making them difficult to open immediately.

But as he passed by, Qin Zhong vaguely heard some noises coming from inside.

Although it was very subtle, after listening carefully, he determined that it was not his hallucination.

So he quietly notified the others, and gathered more than a dozen people here to completely surround the entire display case before loudly calling out to Ye Bai and the others downstairs.

"Nonsense! These display cases are locked with special anti-theft locks. Only the relevant personnel of the art museum have the keys. Even with external force, it would be very difficult to break them. Do you think a person could just crawl in out of thin air?"

Before Ye Bai could speak, Zhang Ping, who had also followed, frowned and shook his head.

Just after saying that Ye Bai and the others' actions were meaningless, Qin Zhong said that they had made a discovery here.

This was clearly a slap in the face for Zhang Ping, so he was naturally unhappy and became even more displeased with Ye Bai and the others.

However, his words were not meant to be contradictory; they were simply stating the facts.

Art museums usually have exhibitions. Although valuable items are generally delivered and picked up on the same day to avoid accidents, there are times when items are left at the museum overnight.

There are many incredibly valuable treasures inside, so anti-theft measures are naturally of paramount importance.

The cabinets under these booths are all made of hard alloy, and the locks are also specially made, comparable to the specifications of safes.

If there is enough time, it can also be opened slowly with the help of high-tech equipment.

But the art museum was packed with people before, so even if the kidnappers had the skills, they wouldn't have had the time.

"Whether there's a problem or not, we'll find out by having someone open the cabinet and take a look."

Ye Bai didn't argue with Zhang Ping, and said with a smile.

He has always been emotionally stable, and he doesn't bother with personal attacks or humiliations unless they are deliberate.

"So who are you planning to send to open the door? That kidnapper is a thug; what if he hurts any of the staff?"

Seeing that Ye Bai completely ignored his words, Zhang Ping's face grew even more gloomy.

"I'll drive it!"

Before Ye Bai could even speak, Zhuang Bei volunteered.

After all, they are young people, still full of passion, and at an age when their sense of justice is overflowing.

Although he knew that Zhang Ping was deliberately making things difficult for Ye Bai, he still volunteered to step forward.

"Xiao Zhuang, you..."

Seeing this, Zhang Ping was so angry he almost fainted, but he couldn't stop this hothead.

He could target Ye Bai, but he would never do anything that would betray the clothes he was wearing.

Soon, the staff member in charge of the display case arrived, handed the key to Zhuang Bei, and explained how to use it.

Ye Bai originally planned to open the door himself, but seeing that Zhuang Bei insisted on doing so, he didn't insist anymore.

He had previously suspected that the kidnappers had left the hostage alone at the art museum, and now he is almost 100% certain.

Given the other party's formidable skills, even if they remained inside the art museum, there was no need for them to hide in a cabinet.

"It's Qianqian!"

As expected, Ye Bai's judgment was absolutely correct. After Zhuang Bei carefully opened the cabinet door, he did not encounter any attack.

Inside the cabinet, leaning against the wall was a beautiful girl who had fainted; it was none other than the missing Mi Qianqian.

Fortunately, Qin Zhong had good hearing and had become more cautious, which allowed him to hear Mi Qianqian's unconscious movements while she was unconscious.

Otherwise, with their limited manpower, it would take them eight or ten hours to thoroughly search such a large art museum.

A delicate girl locked in a cold metal cabinet for so long would likely fall seriously ill even if she were rescued.

"That pretty boy really guessed right..."

Seeing Zhuang Bei and the others carefully carry Mi Qianqian out, Zhang Ping was completely dismayed.

He was naturally very happy to have successfully rescued the hostages.

But the thought that this was all thanks to Ye Bai, who had been playing the villainous clown role all along, immediately gave him the feeling of having eaten shit.

This is truly a classic case of experiencing pain and pleasure simultaneously!

Ye Bai, of course, had no idea what Zhang Ping was thinking. Instead, he stepped forward and carefully examined Mi Qianqian's body before finally letting out a sigh of relief.

The girl is fine; she was just frightened at most.

But the Xie brothers didn't think so, and still called an ambulance to take Mi Qianqian to the hospital.

It wasn't that they didn't believe in Ye Bai's medical skills, but as sycophants, it would be too unbecoming not to fawn over him at a time like this.

Ye Bai didn't go to the hospital, not because he didn't want to visit Mi Zizhen, but because Yu Anqi asked him to go to the police station and ask him to help catch the kidnappers as well.

Although the hostages are now safe, the impact of this heinous crime continues.

If the kidnappers cannot be brought to justice as soon as possible, the police will still have a hard time explaining the situation to the public.

Ye Bai was clearly powerless to help with this matter. Finding Mi Qianqian was already the limit for him; who knew where the kidnapper had escaped to?

He was the leader of the Xuanmen sect and his abilities far surpassed those of ordinary people, but he was not a deity with boundless magical power like Laozi.

However, Ye Bai also gave Yu Anqi a suggestion: whoever can gain the most benefit from this matter is the most suspicious.

The theory that "those who seek high profits are suspicious" is quite reliable in many cases.

The person who dared to scheme against Cao Yuanhu and Li Fengyun, two of the most prominent young masters in Jingzhou, must also be someone of considerable status.

At the very least, it falls into the category of wealthy families!

"Actually, I think you should focus your investigation on that Wang Teng..."

Before leaving, out of consideration for their friendship, Ye Bai still gave Yu Anqi a word of advice.

"...You wouldn't suspect Wang Teng just because he's your rival in love, would you?"

Yu Anqi's expression instantly turned strange, suspecting that this guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes wanted to settle a personal score.

It was no secret in Jingzhou's high society circles that Wang Teng had feelings for Qin Wanqing, and Yu Anqi had also heard about it.

Hearing Ye Bai list him as a suspect, he naturally felt that this guy was doing it on purpose.

"You're judging a gentleman by your own petty standards! Believe it or not!"

Ye Bai rolled his eyes in anger, turned around and left.

He genuinely believed that Wang Teng had the motive and ability to cause chaos in the elite circles of Jingzhou, and the biggest beneficiaries would naturally be the "outsiders."

Actually, besides Wang Teng, he had another suspect, but he didn't say anything...
