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

Where did you hear this news?

Ye Bai's heart skipped a beat, and he asked noncommittally.

"I saw that bitch Tian Yurou posted on her WeChat Moments, she's showing off like this..."

Yi Wenbo gritted his teeth; Ye Bai could feel his hatred even through the phone.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. The people Yi Wenbo hates the most in his life are probably Tian Hongyu's family.

It's no exaggeration to say that his life was ruined the day he met this family.

If he hadn't met Ye Bai by chance, it's uncertain whether he would still be alive today.

"Hmm, then that should be correct. But he's not truly back yet; he still has to get past the Qin Group's board of directors."

Ye Bai suddenly realized, and this time he didn't hide anything.

Tian Yurou has always been a person who likes to show off, so it's not surprising that she did something like this.

His father rejoined the Qin Group, receiving 10% of the shares and becoming the executive vice president, so he certainly had the right to boast.

"Mr. Ye, do you know where Tian Hongyu got the money to buy those shares?"

Yi Wenbo took a deep breath and suddenly asked.

"I really don't know..."

Ye Bai's eyes suddenly narrowed; Yi Wenbo's question had truly stumped him.

But that's not the key point. The key point is that Ye Bai discovered that he and Qin Yuqing had overlooked a crucial issue.

The 10% stake in the Qin Family Group held by Yang Tianju is no small sum of money, calculated at market price!

Two to three hundred billion in working capital!

Even the Qin Group couldn't come up with that all at once!

Where did Tian Hongyu get so much money?

Assets and working capital are two completely different concepts.

Even though Tian Hongyu co-founded Huanyu Pharmaceutical with Qin Shengshui and later sold it, making a fortune, he could only have made a few hundred million at most.

After all, at that time, Huanyu Pharmaceutical had not yet developed into the two major pharmaceutical companies in Jingzhou it is today, so it was not worth much money.

Even if you add the sum that Tian Hongyu secretly embezzled from the Qin Group back then, and all the money he has earned over the years, it would only amount to a few billion at most!

Therefore, Tian Hongyu alone could never afford those shares; there must be someone supporting him behind the scenes!

Is it Qin Shengshui?

The total net worth of the third son of the Qin family is certainly far more than two or three hundred billion, but it is basically all in shares and fixed assets.

Such a large amount of working capital cannot be raised unless it is deliberately raised beforehand through a major sales event.

In fact, even Qin Wanqing, the Queen of Jingzhou, was no exception.

Among the Qin family members, Qin Wanqing should have the largest net worth, but almost all of her money is in shares of the Qin Group.

Having a billion or eight hundred million in readily available funds is already quite good.

If it's not Qin Shengshui, then who could it be?

Is it a powerful family like the Zhao family? Or is it a collaboration between several powerful families?

Only wealthy families can raise such a large amount of liquid funds at once; others shouldn't even dream of it.

At this thought, Ye Bai's heart stirred again. Could it be that Yi Wenbo knew?

Before he could even ask a question, Yi Wenbo suddenly said, "Mr. Ye, I have something urgent to attend to. I'll call you back later..."

Before he could finish speaking, he hung up the phone.

Ye Bai shook his head helplessly, but fortunately, this matter was not urgent.

Having already acquired Tian Hongyu's shares, knowing who paid for them is simply a matter of figuring out the supporters behind this uncle.

"Was that call from Yi Wenbo?"

Seeing Ye Bai put down his phone, Qin Wanqing finally spoke up and asked.

"Correct."

Ye Bai nodded, then asked, "Where do you think Tian Hongyu got the money to buy the shares?"

Qin Wanqing shook her head and said, "That's hard to guess; many people could be the answer."

At this point, a cold glint flashed in Qin Wanqing's beautiful eyes, and she said calmly, "And they all had motives!"

If internal strife could be caused within the Qin Group, the Zhao family, the Li family, and other powerful families in Jingzhou would certainly welcome it.

They don't like to stand out openly, but they are absolutely generous when it comes to providing funds in secret.

The Zhao family, in particular, would think this was a windfall!

What makes the Zhao family so powerful among the wealthy families of Jingzhou is their strong cash flow!

Other wealthy families can only manage to come up with a few billion in liquid funds at most, but the Zhao family can easily access tens of billions!

Lending money to Tian Hongyu to buy shares was a completely stress-free endeavor.

Even other wealthy families could raise the same amount of money if given enough time.

After all, if one company's money isn't enough, several companies can join forces.

Therefore, it would be extremely difficult to find Tian Hongyu's supporters by examining his financial resources.

"Tell me, if we give Yi Wenbo a chance now, would he dare to kill your uncle?"

Ye Bai smacked his lips and suddenly asked.

Before, Yi Wenbo was nothing special; at most, he was just a pretty boy with a big penis and good skills.

But things are completely different now. After reuniting with her older sister who was the strategist at Donghetang, she has turned her life around!

Yi Qingchen was second only to the emperor in Donghe Hall, and had no less than a hundred elite troops at his disposal!

Sending these people to kill Tian Hongyu would be incredibly easy.

And finding two or three people to take the blame afterwards might not even result in the death penalty.

Ye Bai suspected that given the extent of Yi Wenbo's hatred for Tian Hongyu, he wouldn't even need to instigate or provoke him; a mere hint might be enough for him to actually do it.

Although it was a bit underhanded to get rid of Tian Hongyu using this method, Ye Bai felt it was the most cost-effective way.

It's mainly because Tian Hongyu deserved what he got!

They hurt Yi Wenbo so badly back then; it was a living hell!

It is entirely justified for Yi Wenbo to retaliate now.

"No! We absolutely cannot do anything illegal or criminal!"

Qin Wanqing refused decisively and even glared fiercely at Ye Bai.

He was, after all, her uncle-in-law. Even if she and her grandmother disliked him, it wouldn't have come to the point of wanting to kill him.

What exactly did this bastard surnamed Ye do in the mountains before? Could he have been involved in organized crime? Otherwise, how could he talk about killing people as if it were nothing, without any concern?

Qin Wanqing became wary, increasingly convinced that this guy was no good.

"...Fine, you're the boss anyway, so you call the shots."

Ye Bai didn't try to persuade him further, as he was unwilling to easily provoke such a serious karmic consequence as murder.

If you touch this thing too much, you'll also be punished by heaven.

Soon, it was time for dinner.

"We can't let you two do the delivery work anymore, otherwise the resort will really go bankrupt because of you. Starting next week, you two..."

While eating, Qin Wanqing criticized Ye Bai and Shen Lu.

She used to have the demeanor of a wealthy heiress, never speaking a word while eating or sleeping.

But ever since Ye Bai came to the Qin family, this habit has been broken without him even realizing it.

Now, Qin Wanqing feels uncomfortable if she doesn't say something during meals.

But what kind of job should we assign to these two foodies?
