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

The meal was almost over, but Qin Wanqing still hadn't figured out where to put Ye Bai and Shen Lu.

It's not that there aren't enough job openings in the Qin Group's subsidiaries, but the key is that the positions have to be suitable.

She couldn't stand Ye Bai's idle lifestyle, but he was still her husband in name only, so she couldn't really leave him to work as a security guard at the gate.

"Miss, Miss, why don't you open a restaurant, a Cantonese restaurant, and my husband and I can help out every day..."

Seeing how much effort her young mistress was putting into thinking, Shen Lu suddenly raised her hand and excitedly offered some suggestions.

Ye Bai's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and he nodded and smiled, "Lulu's idea is great. As the saying goes, food is the most important thing for people, and restaurants are still very profitable!"

"...You two, give me a break! Are you trying to help? You're more like helping to eat! With you two gluttons around, the daily profit isn't even enough for you two to eat!"

Qin Wanqing rolled her eyes and snorted irritably.

With two big eaters like these who specialize in picking out the best food, even a five-star hotel could be ruined.

"Lulu, your young lady thinks you can eat too much."

Ye Bai quickly shifted the blame and added insult to injury.

Sure enough, after Ye Bai said that, the little girl's eyes immediately reddened, her little mouth pouted, and she was so aggrieved that she was about to cry.

"Ye Bai, you bastard, you're bullying Lulu again!"

Qin Wanqing couldn't stand it any longer and pinched Ye Bai's waist hard. This guy was just too hateful.

Seeing Ye Bai wincing in pain, Shen Lu first burst into laughter through her tears, then felt sorry for her son-in-law and quickly ran over to help rub his wounds with her small hands, occasionally blowing on them with her little mouth.

"...You silly girl, you're completely hopeless. Sooner or later, this scumbag will bully you to death!"

Seeing this, Qin Wanqing felt even more exhausted and couldn't be bothered to care anymore.

Although Ye Bai and Shen Lu haven't known each other for very long, their relationship has grown increasingly close, to the point that Ye Bai is almost as close as Shen Lu.

Is this fate, or did this guy surnamed Ye use some tricks on his silly Lulu?

This girl wasn't very smart before, but she wasn't this stupid either!

Could it be that...eating a lot really affects IQ?

Thinking of this, Qin Wanqing's delicate body trembled involuntarily, and she instantly felt full.

"By the way, Qin Zhong reported earlier that several of the surveillance cameras along the manor's perimeter wall were broken, which was probably caused by someone... Who do you think did it?"

After putting down her chopsticks, Qin Wanqing suddenly remembered something.

"Is the surveillance camera broken? Did it not capture anything?"

Ye Bai frowned slightly, and his expression became serious.

Under normal circumstances, the Qin family manor should be safe, and no one would dare to cause trouble.

It wasn't because he, the leader of the Xuanmen sect, was stationed here, but because the Qin family, as the most powerful family in Jingzhou, already had extremely strong security.

There are a large number of security guards and bodyguards who patrol around the clock, and they also have a considerable number of firearms.

The manor's walls were also very high, and an electric fence was installed on top of them.

There is a surveillance camera every ten meters or so, providing almost a 360-degree view with no blind spots.

With such security measures, even assassins from Nanhuo Town would find it virtually impossible to infiltrate.

So how could anyone dare to damage the surveillance cameras? Who on earth has the audacity to do that?

"The surveillance footage didn't capture anything, but Qin Zhong and his team confirmed that it was destroyed using a long-range attack. But it wasn't a gun or a crossbow; it looked more like a slingshot..."

Qin Wanqing shook her head and said.

"slingshot?"

Ye Bai's eyes narrowed slightly.

Those who like to use slingshots are naturally some mischievous children.

But smashing a camera with a slingshot from a distance of more than ten meters is definitely not something an ordinary child could do.

To shoot accurately with a slingshot requires countless hours of practice, so it's usually only found in rural and mountainous areas.

But Jingzhou is a big city, and there are hardly any children playing with this kind of thing. The possibility that children might damage the surveillance cameras while playing around can be completely ruled out.

Moreover, even if it was truly a child who accidentally hit it, it's unlikely that after breaking one, they would continue to hit it again and again, unless the purpose was to deliberately damage the surveillance cameras.

"Are there any signs of someone entering the section of the wall where the surveillance camera is broken?"

Ye Bai asked again.

Qin Wanqing shook her head and said, "Qin Zhong and the others are still investigating, and haven't found anything yet."

Ye Bai pondered for a moment and said, "There are only two types of people with this motive. One type is after people, such as wanting to kill you or me. The other type is after things."

“If they’re just after people, there’s no need to enter the Qin family manor. They can make their move when we’re out, which would be much easier.”

"So I think it's more likely they're after something. And what's been piquing everyone's interest lately, I suspect, is that piece of nine-headed Ganoderma lucidum. So, the mastermind behind it all is very likely Gong Baiwan from Huanyu Pharmaceuticals..."

Ye Bai began to analyze.

Without a doubt, in his view, Gong Baiwan was the most suspicious.

When the other party came to buy the nine-headed Ganoderma last time, although he said he boiled it in water and drank it, he may not have completely believed it.

Sending someone in secretly to check is a perfectly normal action.

Of course, all of this is based on the premise that Gong Baiwan confirms that it is a nine-headed Ganoderma lucidum.

Otherwise, even if it's a century-old Ganoderma lucidum, it wouldn't be worth such a huge fuss.

Judging from Gong Baiwan's intense emotional reaction that day, there is a high probability that he knew it was a nine-headed Ganoderma lucidum.

"...So it seems that Aunt Chen and Gong Baiwan's relationship is not that close."

Qin Wanqing did not deny Ye Bai's guess, but continued to deduce from it.

"Aunt Chen probably didn't know that it was a nine-headed Ganoderma lucidum."

Ye Bai nodded and said.

He understood Qin Wanqing's meaning. If Chen Jingmei and Gong Baiwan really had an extraordinary relationship, then she could bring the men sent by Gong Baiwan into the Qin family manor without anyone noticing. This was much simpler than destroying the surveillance and then sneaking in.

Especially given Chen Jingmei's status in the Qin family manor, few people would dare to suspect her if something really went wrong.

This roundabout approach suggests that the relationship between Gong Baiwan and Chen Jingmei may not be what he initially suspected.

"Do you think the money your uncle spent on buying shares... could it be related to Huanyu Pharmaceutical?"

Qin Wanqing suddenly asked.

"Putting aside the fact that your uncle-in-law sold the company a long time ago, does Huanyu Pharmaceutical even have that much money?"

Ye Bai asked, somewhat puzzled.

"You underestimate these pharmaceutical companies. In terms of financial strength, more than 90% of the companies in Jingzhou are not as financially powerful as them!"

"Putting everything else aside, look at those real estate developers. On the surface, they all look glamorous and incredibly wealthy, but in reality, they're all heavily indebted to banks. Let alone hundreds of billions, they struggle to even come up with a few hundred million."

"But for Huanyu Pharmaceuticals, coming up with two or three hundred billion yuan would probably be effortless..."

Qin Wanqing shook her head and said.

At this point, Qin Wanqing's eyes suddenly lit up, and she said with a smile, "I've thought of a job to arrange for you!"
