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

Qingfeng Temple is indeed a famous scenic spot in Jingzhou, attracting a large number of tourists, but its visit is subject to seasonal restrictions.

When spring is in full bloom and autumn is crisp and clear, everyone naturally wants to go out and enjoy themselves, such as hiking and picnicking.

Even in summer, there are still quite a few people, who go to the mountains to escape the heat.

But once the cold winter arrives, there are hardly any people climbing the mountain.

This means that the old Taoist priest, who makes a living by swindling tourists, will lose his job.

So it's perfectly reasonable to move to another place to make a living.

As expected, just as Ye Bai had predicted, the old Taoist chuckled dryly and said, "Mr. Ye is indeed incredibly wise, guessing it right away... But don't worry, I am truly useful, and I'm definitely not the kind of person who just eats for free and does no work!"

Watching the nearly seventy-year-old Taoist priest make vows and oaths, and occasionally pat his thin, bony chest, Ye Bai felt exhausted and could only take out his phone to call the resort's general manager.

Let them arrange a job for the old Taoist priest at the resort, such as a gatekeeper or something, so that he can at least get through the winter.

Faced with the orders of Ye Bai, the "boss lady," the resort's general manager naturally dared not disobey and immediately sent someone over to take the old Taoist priest away.

The resort is so big that it could easily support a hundred or eighty idle people, not to mention that while the old Taoist priest might not be good at other things, he is perfectly capable of guarding the gate.

To Ye Bai's surprise, when he assigned the old Taoist a job, the old man not only showed no gratitude but also looked at him with a resentful expression.

He clearly felt that Ye Bai disliked him, so he was very sad.

However, Ye Bai couldn't care less about that now. He had already done a good job by helping the old Taoist find a place. He couldn't very well take the old Taoist back to the Qin family manor, could he?

There's no shortage of gatekeepers there. Are you really going to build a Taoist temple for them and let the old Taoist priest have a magical duel with Chen Jingmei, who eats vegetarian food and chants Buddhist scriptures?

One was dressed in a Taoist robe and holding a peach wood sword, while the other was wearing a monk's robe and striking a wooden fish... Tsk tsk tsk, this scene sounds pretty damn exciting, but I'm afraid Old Madam Qin's heart can't take it.

Ye Bai and Shen Lu had just returned to the Qin Group headquarters and hadn't even sat down for a drink of water when Qin Wanqing put on her coat, picked up her bag, and said, "Don't sit down yet, let's go to the hospital."

Ye Bai was taken aback and asked, "Why go to the hospital?"

Qin Wanqing said, "Third Uncle asked us to go over. It seems he has found clues about the person who assassinated him that day."

Ye Bai couldn't help but exclaim, "Your third uncle is really tough!"

Qin Shengshui's injuries were very serious before, and it could even be said that he was only a hair's breadth away from death.

Without Ye Bai's help in treating him, this third master of the Qin family actually managed to pull through on his own, which is nothing short of a miracle.

However, this does prove the saying that people who achieve great things are usually very lucky.

Being lucky is also a form of fortune.

On the way to the hospital, Ye Bai learned that Qin Shengshui had not only summoned them, but also all the high-ranking members of the Qin family.

Judging from the way they were setting up, it seemed like they were preparing to hold a major internal meeting of the Qin family in the hospital room.

That's understandable. Although Qin Shengshui survived and his injuries have healed somewhat, he's still far from fully recovered.

Under normal circumstances, he would have to stay in bed for at least another year and a half.

Soon after, Ye Bai and his two companions arrived outside Qin Shengshui's ward, which was already packed with people.

The Qin family bodyguards, all dressed in black suits, almost completely blocked the corridor of the ward.

Although Qin Wanqing controls the Qin family's security department, it is only the most elite part.

The Qin family's top executives also have a considerable number of bodyguards around them.

Some were from the Qin family's security department, while others were hired by them at their own expense.

Wealthy people are afraid of death, and the Qin family's upper echelons are no exception.

Especially after Qin Shengshui was assassinated, the Qin family's higher-ups became even more concerned about their safety.

The presence of at least several dozen bodyguards in black in front of us is the best proof of this.

"Miss, young master..."

Upon seeing Qin Wanqing and Ye Bai appear, many bodyguards bowed in greeting; these were all bodyguards from the Qin family's security department.

There were also some people who didn't react at all; those were hired by the Qin family's higher-ups at their own expense and had no affiliation with Qin Wanqing.

There were quite a few people in the ward at this time, including Qin Shengtu, the fifth son of the Qin family, Qin Yuezhu and Zhao Jianqiang, the third aunt He Manli, the eldest aunt Qin Yuemei, and so on.

Even Qin Xiuzhao, who had disappeared for a long time, finally showed up today.

It has to be said that this guy is quite clever. He knows very well that even if he shows up in this situation, Ye Bai can't do anything to him, so he dares to jump out openly.

However, Ye Bai has indeed lost much interest in this young master of the Qin family.

According to Zhong Erbin, Qin Xiuzhao was just a small fry who was being used by them.

Although they knew of Mr. Nangong's existence, they had never met him, nor had they ever spoken to him directly on the phone.

Qin Xiuzhao's value lies in bringing the scoundrels of the Xuanmen sect into contact with the Qin family and the Second Madam.

Unfortunately, Zhong Erbin didn't know what Sun Yibiao and Chen Jingmei talked about or what their relationship was.

For those corrupt members of the esoteric sect who live hand to mouth, trust is a rare commodity; they have almost no one they can truly trust.

So even though Zhong Erbin and Sun Yibiao are often together, they are both keeping each other's real secrets from each other.

For example, Mr. Nangong, and Chen Jingmei.

This means that whether Ye Bai arrests Qin Xiuzhao or not is now meaningless.

After glancing at this guy, Ye Bai shifted his gaze and focused his attention on Qin Yuemei and He Manli.

Last time at Mingtaishan Resort, Qin Yuemei caught He Manli cheating and even threatened her with great confidence. But why do the two of them look so harmonious when they meet here today?

Not only did they not fight in public, but they were also chatting and laughing there.

This is way too unusual!

Although it's said that women are born drama queens, this level of acting is truly astonishing.

"Xiaobai and Wanqing are here... Please have a seat..."

Upon seeing Ye Bai and Qin Wanqing appear, Qin Shengshui, who was leaning against the hospital bed, greeted them with a smile.

Although his face was still pale and he looked very weak, and his voice was weak, his spirits were obviously much better than before.

Upon confirming this, a strange light flashed in Ye Bai's eyes.

He personally examined Qin Shengshui's injuries and there was no way to fake it.

Since the injuries were real, it was impossible for Qin Shengshui to have recovered to such a degree in such a short time!

Unless, he takes some kind of special medicine that can quickly heal injuries!

But those things are very hard to get; even money can't buy them!

So, who exactly provided Qin Shengshui with the drugs?

A disgrace to the Xuanmen sect? Huanyu Pharmaceuticals? Mr. Nangong?

Or perhaps... the Governor's Office?
