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

Healing remedies are not easy to obtain; they mostly come from ancient formulas.

Having the ancient formula and being able to concoct the medicine is something that no ordinary force could achieve.

It's no exaggeration to say that even the four great families of Jingzhou don't have that ability!

The reason why there are scoundrels in the Xuanmen sect is that these guys themselves possess Xuanmen inheritances and have a lot of good stuff in their hands.

As for Mr. Nangong, his background is extremely mysterious. He can even hire scoundrels from the Xuanmen sect, so having some healing medicine is nothing special to him.

As for Huanyu Pharmaceutical, it is not as good as the previous two, but as a pharmaceutical company, it has close ties with the scoundrels of Xuanmen and Mr. Nangong, so it is also possible to get it.

Aside from these three forces, the only other entity in the entire Jingzhou that possesses such a miraculous healing medicine is the Governor's Office!

Although the governor's mansion is not among the most powerful families, it is, after all, the highest power center in the city, holding real power of life and death!

It's perfectly normal to have some good stuff on hand.

So it's really hard to guess who gave Qin Shengshui the healing medicine.

"Tsk tsk tsk, brother-in-law, I heard you've been doing quite well in Jingzhou lately. Even top young masters like Wang Teng and Zhao Wuyai have fallen into your hands. Are you really worried that my Qin family has too few enemies and is too lonely?"

As soon as Ye Bai and Qin Wanqing sat down, Qin Xiuzhao began to mock them in a sarcastic tone.

Upon hearing this, Qin Wanqing's pretty face suddenly turned cold. Just as she was about to speak, Ye Bai gently patted her hand, then looked at Qin Xiuzhao and smiled, "Eight ancient books, one million each, not expensive, right?"

Upon hearing Ye Bai's inexplicable words, everyone else was taken aback, completely unable to understand what he was saying.

But Qin Xiuzhao's expression suddenly changed drastically, and he was completely dumbfounded.

Others might not know what Ye Bai was talking about, but he did!

When he went to Ye Bai's room to steal those Xuanmen scriptures, he did it very discreetly. How did this guy confirm that it was him who stole them?

With so many books on the bookshelf, even if someone notices a few missing, it might be a long time before they realize it, and finding out who it was is almost impossible!

Could it be... that this guy secretly installed a camera in the room?

Moreover, even if such ancient books are very valuable for collection, a single book might only be worth a maximum of 100,000 or 200,000 yuan.

A million dollars a copy? What sucker would buy that?

No! These aren't the key points!

The crucial point is, I clearly only took three books! How did it suddenly become eight?

Are your family's ancient books really that amazing? Are they even capable of producing offspring??

Thinking of this, Qin Xiuzhao suddenly felt an urge to vomit blood!

This guy surnamed Ye is actually trying to extort him?

"Transfer the money to your sister within ten minutes, otherwise everyone will only be able to watch short videos."

Ignoring Qin Xiuzhao's fiery glare, Ye Bai continued speaking slowly.

At this moment, Qin Wanqing finally understood what Ye Bai was talking about, and couldn't help but look up and rub her forehead.

When it comes to being ruthless, if Comrade Ye Hei claims to be second, then probably no one in the world can challenge him for first place.

Given the chance, they'll extort money from someone until they're dead.

However, she was too lazy to stop him. Qin Xiuzhao was definitely not a good person, and since he had stolen something, he would have to pay the price eventually.

"Xiaobai, what are you saying? I don't understand."

He Manli asked, somewhat puzzled.

She, as a mother, was clearly unaware of everything Qin Xiuzhao had done back then.

From this perspective, this third aunt is actually quite naive and innocent.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have been so easily tricked by Yi Wenbo.

She was a wealthy socialite and a former star, yet she was seduced by a pretty boy like Yi Wenbo with just a few sweet words. You can imagine how stupid she was.

Qin Shengtu and Zhao Jianqiang were not too surprised by this. They both knew that Ye Bai had been looking for Qin Xiuzhao all this time, and now that they had finally run into him, they naturally wouldn't let him have an easy time.

They have now fully experienced the arrogance of this adopted son of the Ye family.

Zhao Jianqiang, in particular, had already made up his mind not to oppose Ye Bai anymore, and even wanted to find a way to be on good terms with him.

If he hadn't known that Ye Bai and Qin Wanqing would also be coming today, he would have secretly tipped Ye Bai off, telling him that Qin Xiuzhao was here.

Now that the two sides have run into each other, it would be strange if Qin Xiuzhao didn't suffer.

To say that this young master of the third branch of the Qin family is out of his mind is an understatement. He provoked Ye Bai, that jinx, and instead of hiding, he dared to swagger in front of him. He was just courting death!

"It's nothing, Third Aunt. Xiu Zhao asked me to buy some things for him a while ago, and now they've made an offer and even sent me a video..."

Ye Bai smiled and said something, then looked at Qin Xiuzhao and said, "Brother Xiuzhao, is that right?"

"I am!"

Qin Xiuzhao forcibly suppressed the urge to curse, and finally nodded through gritted teeth.

Then, he took out his phone and started transferring money.

There was nothing he could do; things had come to this point, and he had no choice but to accept his fate.

After all, it's true that he stole Ye Bai's ancient books.

Moreover, judging from the threatening tone in Ye Bai's words, he probably still has surveillance videos in his possession.

Although he couldn't be sure whether it was true or just the other party trying to scare him, he still didn't dare to gamble.

The young master of the third branch of the Qin family is actually a book thief. If this gets out and the elders find out, his reputation will be completely ruined for life.

Putting aside others, his father, Qin Shengshui, could beat him to death!

So even though they knew they were being extorted by Ye Bai, they had no choice but to accept it.

Of course, the main reason is that while eight million is not a small amount of money, it is still within his means.

If Ye Bai wanted 80 million, Qin Xiuzhao would have no choice but to go all out and fight to the death.

Hearing Qin Xiuzhao say this, He Manli still felt something was amiss, but she didn't ask any further questions.

However, Qin Shengshui, who was still lying in the hospital bed, had a barely perceptible glint of something unusual in his eyes.

"...You're really good at ripping people off! How much do you want this time?"

Looking at the transfer notification on her phone, Qin Wanqing looked at Ye Bai speechlessly and asked in a low voice.

"...Qin Bapi, what do you mean? This is the money I got from selling my books!!"

Ye Bai immediately became alert.

"Heh, your books aren't worth that much money. Besides, didn't you say that intellectuals can never sell books?"

Qin Wanqing sneered disdainfully.

Just three ancient books, yet they sold for a whopping eight million. Ye Bai is simply obsessed with money.

"My ancient book is extraordinary!"

Ye Bai's face turned green. He had a premonition that this money was about to be skimmed off again.

"Alright, you're right. Let's settle this with the debts you owe me before."

Qin Wanqing thought for a moment and then said.

"Reached...?"

Ye Bai's eyes widened suddenly, and he asked incredulously, "I owe you four million... and you embezzled eight million from me? This isn't even usury anymore, is it? Even the most notorious black-hearted loan sharks wouldn't go this far, would they?"

Qin Wanqing said calmly, "Stop talking nonsense. The larger my turnover, the more taxes I have to pay, so I have to charge some handling fees."

"...That's way too high!"

Ye Bai was furious and was just about to fight this woman when someone suddenly spoke up.

"Alright, everyone's here, let's get down to business..."

Qin Shengshui said weakly again.

Upon hearing his words, He Manli opened a laptop and started a video call with Qin Shengfeng, the sixth son of the Qin family, who was still in Shanghai.
