When a Master of Metaphysics Marries into a Wealthy Family

“The suspect refuses to confess and we haven’t found any evidence. We can only detain him for 48 hours. I don’t think he will last for 48 hours though. His uncle will definitely intervene. There is actually another way, which is to check Meng Ruyan’s injuries. But she’s emotionally unstable now and we dare not disturb her, for fear of hurting her again. Besides, the suspect hasn’t contacted Meng Ruyan in these days, so there may not be any traces left on her…” The young policeman spoke with a low voice, his voice gradually fading away to a grinding sound.

Encountering such a thing, anyone with a conscience and courage would feel angry!

Shen Ye tightened the peachwood brush in his hand, sneering.

How could that bullsh*t uncle at the bureau protect that scumbag?

Ye Ze felt the fluctuation of his emotions and gently pressed his shoulder. “I’m here.”

Shen Ye was slightly startled and his anger immediately calmed down.

Yes, there was still Ye Ze.

With the ability of the Ye family, could that scumbag’s uncle still cause trouble?

Soon, Ye Ze called his assistant. “Go check on the suspect’s uncle.”

His assistant, Zong Yiming, was usually like an invisible person but Ye Ze entrusted all his private matters to him. He was low-key and capable.

Zong Yiming respectfully replied, “Don’t worry, sir.”

Seeing that his fiancé had taken care of this matter with just a few words, Shen Ye couldn’t help but feel excited.

Ye Ze turned his head and saw him looking at him with sparkling eyes, feeling somewhat amused. He patted his head.

Shen Ye felt much better and he silently thought that since Ye Ze had dealt with the scumbag’s uncle, he could deal with the scumbag himself.

He looked at the two young policemen. “Take me to see the suspect. I have a way to make him confess.” He had a talisman paper and he could definitely make the suspect speak.

The two policemen thought of Shen Ye’s ability and looked at each other before immediately agreeing.

Perhaps… this little master could really make the suspect confess.

They took Shen Ye and Ye Ze to the police station to report the situation to the captain. The captain immediately agreed to let Shen Ye meet the suspect.

The suspect was locked in the interrogation room, with his legs crossed and banging on the table towards the interrogator, “You police can’t wrong good people, can you? If you can’t find evidence, release me as soon as possible! Let me tell you, I’m going to find someone to bail me out now. You hurry up and contact my uncle Deng Qing!”

He deliberately mentioned Deng Qing’s name to intimidate the small police officers in front of him.

The interrogator was so angry at this arrogant and shameless attitude that his face turned red.

Two girls who had just arrived at the police station and were involved in the case heard about Meng Ruyan’s ordeal and were both angry and heartbroken. Now seeing this scum acting so arrogantly, the two girls were so angry that they trembled and cried while covering their faces.

How could there be such bad people in the world?

When Shen Ye and Ye Ze arrived at the interrogation room, they happened to see this scene. Shen Ye was also angry but he still comforted the two girls and police officers in a gentle voice, “Don’t be angry. I have a way to make him confess.”

He turned his head and whispered a few words to the captain.

The captain’s eyes lit up. Although this method was a bit irregular, he had heard that Shen Ye was a master and had extraordinary skills. Of course, he also hoped that this scum would be brought to justice, so he nodded and said, “Okay, do it your way!”

Shen Ye immediately took out a peach wood brush and drew a talisman.

This scene was a bit funny because the people’s servants who believed in democracy, harmony, and prosperity were all gathered around Shen Ye, watching him draw the talisman.

But everyone was looking forward to it because they had heard of Shen Ye catching thieves through divination before. He was a master!

After about two minutes, Shen Ye finished drawing the talisman, walked to the door of the interrogation room, and slapped the talisman on the scum’s forehead.

This talisman could make people tell the truth. What followed was a miraculous moment when the scum blurted out his entire criminal process. Not only did he confess to this crime but he also admitted to his previous criminal records.

In the past ten years, he had raped five underage girls! He even controlled one of them for up to six months. Later, when the girl’s parents found out, they moved to another city overnight and he stopped.

Of these five minors, some of them dared not report to the police and some reported but the lack of evidence, coupled with the scumbag uncle’s protection, led to no conclusion. So the scumbag became more and more rampant, and the means of committing crimes became more and more sophisticated.

After hearing this, everyone clenched their fists and wished to beat up the scumbag severely! Even if they beat him into a disability, they wouldn’t feel satisfied!

This is completely inhumane!

…Fortunately, the suspect confessed and with such a serious crime, he should be sentenced to life imprisonment or the death penalty.

However, Shen Ye heard something unusual.

According to the suspect’s confession, he wasn’t originally planning to go near the Experimental High School that day. It was only because he received a flyer for a free hot pot taste test that he went there. It just so happened that Meng Ruyan had to pass by that road when she was going home and that’s how the suspect targeted her.

Meng Ruyan was supposed to have a smooth and prosperous life, but her fate was obviously changed by this incident. Shen Ye was wondering who would want to harm a fifteen-year-old middle school student. Now it seems that the person behind the scenes was actually targeting the suspect and Meng Ruyan just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.

So, who is the mastermind behind all this?

It should be the original owner of the peach wood brush, the old Taoist who set up the formation in Mr. Shi’s house, right?

After receiving the video and testimony of the suspect’s confession, the captain excitedly shook Shen Ye’s hand and said, “Master Shen, thank you!”

Some suspects use hidden methods and cannot be found with evidence, but that doesn’t mean they are innocent! If possible, the captain thinks Shen Ye should be invited to solve difficult cases all over the country!

Shen Ye said, “I hope he receives the appropriate punishment.”

“Yes!” The captain nodded solemnly. However, when he thought of the suspect’s uncle, who was Deputy Director Deng, he hesitated a bit. “His uncle is Deputy Director Deng…”

“Don’t worry, that Deng Qing will soon regret it.” According to the scumbag’s testimony, his uncle not only covered up his crime but also engaged in corruption and bribery. With Ye Ze’s intervention, he would definitely be removed from office.

The captain couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief and thanked Shen Ye again.

“No need to thank me, actually I have a request.” Shen Ye smiled coldly and looked towards the scumbag in the interrogation room.

A few seconds later, the scumbag was rolling on the ground, clutching his leg. Shen Ye cast six talismans on his leg and he would have to endure the pain every hour from now on.

The scumbag’s face twisted into an unrecognizable shape and he screamed for help.

“How can I describe this pain? It’s almost like what eunuchs in ancient times felt when they were castrated.” He had wasted six talismans! He couldn’t let the scumbag off so easily!

The captain opened his mouth wide and felt as if his own leg was also in pain.

Shen Ye turned his head and looked at Ye Ze. He didn’t know why, but he suddenly felt a bit afraid that Ye Ze would think he was too ruthless.

Ye Ze happened to look at him and his eyes were gentle. “You did a good job.”

He was praised!

Shen Ye’s eyes curved up.

“Rest assured, the doctor can’t diagnose his illness. Let him suffer like this until he dies!” Shen Ye looked up at the surveillance camera, “I just blocked the surveillance. No one knows what happened here. I hope you all keep it a secret or else I’ll have to feed you amnesia talismans.”

The police officers present were both in awe and admiration of his god-like abilities. Of course, they wouldn’t reveal what happened today. Although as public servants, they shouldn’t have personal emotions, seeing the scumbag writhing on the ground and constantly screaming for help really felt satisfying.

This kind of scum deserved to be punished like this!

Finally, the captain politely escorted Shen Ye and Ye Ze out of the police station, respectfully asking, “Master Shen, if we encounter this kind of case again, can we ask for your help?”

Shen Ye smiled and nodded, “No problem, just give me a call.”

On the way back, Shen Ye was unusually silent. Ye Ze sat quietly by his side, not disturbing him.

After a long time, Shen Ye spoke up, “Uncle, I don’t feel like cooking today.”

The dinners these days were all made by him. He liked cooking, especially when his interest was at its peak. But today he just couldn’t muster up the energy.

Ye Ze rubbed his head, “Okay.”

Shen Ye liked this gentle side of Ye Ze, it made him feel warm. The purple aura on Ye Ze also made him feel comfortable.

He took a deep breath and clenched his fists, “I hope that scumbag gets sentenced to death!”

Five teenage girls and five blossoming lives were destroyed but he still wasn’t arrested.

“I’ve already called the Ye family’s lawyer to come to Haicheng,” Ye Ze said.

The Ye family’s legal team was world-class and had never lost a case.

“Uncle, you’re so kind,” Shen Ye’s eyebrows flew up with happiness. He waved his fists again, “If it doesn’t work, I’ll use talismans on him!”

In any case, he wouldn’t let that scum off the hook!

Ye Ze smiled faintly.

This was the Shen Ye he knew, optimistic and sunny, nothing could knock him down. As for Shen Ye’s vengeful nature, Ye Ze didn’t think it was a bad thing.

“There’s no ‘if it doesn’t work,’ it will definitely work,” Ye Ze said calmly.

With Ye Ze’s assurance, Shen Ye was at ease, because he knew how powerful the Ye family was. “Yeah, we must make that scum pay the price!”

Ye Ze pursed his lips and said, “I can also help the Meng family move to another city, buy them a house, change their identities, and start over.”

Shen Ye suddenly looked at him.

Oh my god, this is what an angel looks like! He even wants to buy them a house, he’s so considerate!

Shen Ye looked at his fiancé with starry eyes and his heart was beating rapidly.

Ye Ze smiled and said softly, “As long as you want it, I’ll do it for you.”

Shen Ye was so moved that he didn’t know what to do.

Such sweet words, such a beautiful face… it was too much to handle!

He couldn’t resist and reached out his small hand, grabbing the man’s finger. The warm touch spread from the palm of his hand to his heart. He blushed, feeling like his heart was about to jump out.

Ye Ze’s lips lifted slightly as he held Shen Ye’s hand and didn’t let go.

Shen Ye used his other hand to fan himself and said, “Ah, it’s so hot…”

…actually, it was just his imagination.

Ye Ze chuckled deeply, “I’ll fan you.”

He actually took out a piece of paper and fanned Shen Ye with it.

Shen Ye: “…” Feeling even more embarrassed.

He had originally wanted to study why the peach wood brush suddenly emitted a yin aura, but now, he was too focused on stabilizing his heartbeat and didn’t have the leisure to think about the brush.

When the car arrived back at Rongyuan, Shen Ye took the opportunity to pull back his hand and pretended to be calm, “We’re here.”

He thought they shouldn’t hold hands like children anymore since they had arrived.

Ye Ze looked at him deeply but didn’t say anything.

As they neared home, Shen Ye looked at his watch and found that they still had some time. He said, “I want to go to Mr. Shi’s house.”

After what happened with Meng Ruyan, he was a little worried that the old Taoist would attack Mr. Shi’s house again. He felt that they couldn’t delay the matter. What if something irreversible happened?

“I’ll go with you.” Ye Ze asked the driver to turn towards Mr. Shi’s house.

Shen Ye was used to his clinginess, “Sure, we’ll go together as husband and wife.”

…Husband and wife?

Ye Zhe cast his gaze downwards, “This is a good term.”

However… they needed to discuss who the husband was later.

Mr. Shi was conveniently at home and had been waiting at the door when he found out Shen Ye was coming.

“Master Shen, please come in quickly.” Mr. Shi seemed to be in a good mood, “Thanks to you, my mother is now much better. She can eat and drink and even play cards with my children.”

Shen Ye smiled and walked inside with Ye Ze.

As soon as they entered the courtyard, he noticed that the Yin energy in the villa was even heavier than before. The peach wood brush in his hand emitted a strong Yin energy once again. If it wasn’t for Ye Ze’s purple aura keeping it in check, the peach wood brush would have probably exploded from the Yin energy.

This was not right.

After so long, the Yin energy should have dissipated. Unless something happened at Mr. Shi’s house.

Shen Ye furrowed his brow, stopped walking, and surveyed the courtyard.

“Master?” Mr. Shi asked in surprise.

Shen Ye made a sound of agreement and carefully examined Mr. Shi’s face, “You haven’t encountered any bad peach blossom?”

“I’ve been taking care of my mother at home during this time and I’ve only occasionally gone to the company. Besides the company’s artists, I haven’t interacted with anyone else. But the company’s artists know my personality, so they behave and didn’t cause me any trouble,” Mr. Shi recalled.

Shen Ye stared at Mr. Shi for a while.

Strange…

The last time he looked at Mr. Shi’s face, he determined that there was bad romantic luck entangling him. But this time, he saw that the bad luck had actually been resolved?!

What’s going on?

Shen Ye lowered his head to contemplate, then thought of something and went to look at Mr. Shi again.

It turned out that the bad romantic luck had not actually been resolved; someone had tampered with it!

No wonder he couldn’t determine if the bad luck was related to a man or a woman last time. According to his skills, he should have been able to calculate the appearance of the other person!

So that bad romantic luck must be related to the old Taoist priest and only the old Taoist priest could have tampered with it.

He planned to ask Old Mrs. Shi about the old Taoist priest later, but in the meantime, he asked Mr. Shi, “Has anyone come to your house?”

“No,” Shi shook his head, then asked nervously, “Master, is something wrong?”

Shen Ye was afraid of alarming him, so he said, “No, I’ll set up a formation for your house so that no one can easily come in. This way, it will be safer.”

Since he knew that the old Taoist priest was up to no good, he had to take precautions.

Mr. Shi was overjoyed and immediately thanked him, “Thank you so much!”

Shen Ye took out the peach wood brush and prepared to set up the formation, but the peach wood brush had heavy Yin energy and didn’t listen to his commands. Shen Ye snorted coldly and pasted several talismans on the brush handle. The peach wood brush immediately became obedient.

Ye Ze silently looked at the peach wood brush, his eyes slightly chilled.

After Shen Ye finished setting up the formation, Ye Ze went forward and spontaneously took the peach wood brush for purification.

Shen Ye smiled at him and leaned in close to his ear, “Uncle, you’re too obedient. I kind of want to bully you.”

Mixed with the faint smell of grass and wood on the child’s body, Ye Ze’s eyes darkened as he silently glanced at him.

Mr. Shi warmly welcomed Shen Ye and Ye Ze into his home.

It had already been half a month since Old Mrs. Shi had recovered. She knew that Shen Ye had saved her and affectionately took his hand, “Good child, thank you for saving me. From now on, the Shi family will be your support. If you ever suffer, remember what Shi Bajiao said.”

She heard from her daughter-in-law that Shen Ye had been bullied by his biological father and stepmother, which made her very angry. What a despicable father that scumbag is.

Shen Ye felt a little amused and moved. The old woman was telling him that the Shi family would be his support, right?

He smiled and said, “Don’t worry, no one can bully me.”

If anyone tried to bully him, they would have to ask if he agreed to it with the talisman paper in his hand. Moreover…he turned his head to look at Ye Ze, who had been standing behind him all along. He still had a powerful fiance!

Shen Ye thanked Old Mrs. Shi for her kindness and shifted the topic to the old Taoist. He asked how the old woman had met the old Taoist.

Speaking of the old Taoist, the old woman was still very angry.

She liked to go to the park for walks every day, where there were many activities for the elderly and she even joined a Tai Chi team. About half a year ago, an old Taoist stopped her and said that there was a disaster in her family. At first, Mrs. Shi didn’t believe it, but the old Taoist had accurately predicted several times before, so she gradually believed him.

The old Taoist told her that this disaster had to be resolved with the birthdates of her family members and hinted that it would be best to use her daughter-in-law’s birthdate.

“I was a little suspicious and asked him what the consequences would be. He said that there might be some health problems. My daughter-in-law has been suffering with my son and has been very good to me. How could I bear to let her health suffer? I thought that I’m almost at the end of my life. If I could help my family get through this disaster, it would be a good thing, so I used my birthdate.” Old Mrs. Shi wiped her tears. “It’s all my fault for being confused and being deceived by that old Taoist, and causing my children and grandchildren to worry!”

Shen Ye had previously calculated that the peach blossom was directed towards Mr. Shi’s wife and the old Taoist had targeted her birthdate. This made perfect sense.

Perhaps the old Taoist didn’t expect that Old Mrs. Shi would be unwilling to let her daughter-in-law suffer.

Mrs. Shi’s eyes were filled with tears, “Mom…”

The old woman gently patted her hand, “It’s mom’s fault.”

“No, it’s not your fault. You did it for our own good.”

Their relationship as mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was evident.

Mr. Shi also advised her on the side, “Mom, you can’t blame yourself. You did it for the family…”

Shen Ye really likes this harmonious and happy family. He said in a soft voice, “Don’t worry, as long as that old Taoist appears, I will immediately take care of him and make sure he can no longer harm anyone!”

Although there is no evidence yet to prove that Meng Ruyan’s situation is related to the old Taoist, he has a kind of intuition that this old Taoist has probably harmed many people.

Mr. Shi invited them to stay for dinner, but Shen Ye politely declined and took Ye Ze out of the Shi family’s home.

Before leaving, he reminded Mr. Shi, “If there is anything unusual, you must remember to contact me.”

Mr. Shi promised quickly.

Perhaps because he felt the happy atmosphere of Mr. Shi’s home, Shen Ye’s mood improved a lot on the way back. The setting sun was just right and the crimson glow of the setting sun was spread on the ground. The two of them walked slowly and leisurely back home.

Shen Ye secretly looked up at the man beside him. The man was very tall with a straight figure and his profile was incredibly handsome. He couldn’t help but say, “Uncle, can we also live like Mr. Shi and his wife? I will treat your grandfather well and you will be good to my grandmother…we will both respect and be filial to our elders…”

Ye Ze looked deeply at him.

Live a lifetime like Mr. Shi and his wife?

Just imagining it was enough to make people feel moved.

“Okay.” Ye Ze responded gently and seriously.

Shen Ye’s mouth widened, his eyes shining with infinite radiance. This scene was reflected in the setting sun and penetrated Ye Ze’s heart. Many years later, when he recalled the happiness of the young man at this moment, his chest felt warm.

Xu Sisi had been waiting for them to come back, and she asked about “I hope there’s a next life”.

Shen Ye was not convenient to reveal Meng Ruyan’s situation. The fewer people who knew about it, the less harm it would cause to Meng Ruyan.

He said vaguely, “It’s okay, it was a false alarm.”

Seeing this, Xu Sisi didn’t ask any more questions and instead talked about today’s opening situation: “There are a total of 22 classmates from your school waiting in line to have their fortunes told. You should find time to tell them tomorrow.”

“Okay. Give me the list and I’ll go find them at school tomorrow.”

While waiting for Xu Sisi to provide the list, Shen Ye slumped on the sofa, his eyes empty, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Ye Ze looked at him thoughtfully for a while, then turned and went to the kitchen.

So when Shen Ye regained his senses, he found that his fiancé was busy in the kitchen!

Shen Ye was surprised enough to swallow an egg. He ran to the kitchen to see what was happening and saw Ye Ze rolling up his sleeves and washing vegetables. Ye Ze was wearing casual clothes today and his temperament was not suitable for the kitchen at all!

“Uncle, are you cooking?”

Ye Ze: “Hmm, what do you want to eat?”

Shen Ye’s eyes turned: “Spicy diced chicken.”

“… “Ye Ze remembered the child’s prank last time, shook his head helplessly, and turned to the chef, “Do we have chili?”

“Yes, we do.” The chef immediately picked it out of the basket. She knew that Shen Ye liked to eat spicy food, so she bought chili peppers every day.

Hmm, is Ye Ze really going to make spicy diced chicken for him?

Shen Ye felt like he was dreaming…

Ye Ze had already started washing the chili peppers and was ready to cut them after washing.

Shen Ye quickly stopped him: “These are hot peppers, they are spicy, you have to wear gloves.”

Ye Ze silently went to find gloves.

… Is he really so obedient?

Shen Ye suddenly felt blessed: “Uncle, are you… comforting me?” So that’s why he’s cooking for him.

Ye Ze didn’t answer, he touched Shen Ye’s face with his cool hand.

Shen Ye’s face turned red all of a sudden. To cover up his state, he muttered, “What’s going on today, it’s too hot! Is it almost the dog days of summer?”

Ye Ze lightly smiled and didn’t expose him.

After laboriously cutting the chili peppers and chicken, Ye Ze was ready to cook. Unfortunately, he had always had servants serving him from childhood to adulthood, so he had never done any housework before… so the whole kitchen was filled with the pungent smell of chili, mixed with thick smoke…

…He was in a tough spot.

Shen Ye was both moved and amused and took over the spatula: “Let me do it.”

In the end, it was Shen Ye who cooked the dish.

Ye Ze watched him on the side, his eyes showing regret and his lips pressed even tighter.

Shen Ye didn’t notice his mood and chatted with him with a smile: “You did a great job today, I’ll make braised pork ribs for you, okay?”

A few days ago, he made braised pork ribs and Ye Ze liked it very much.

“Okay.” Ye Ze poked his earlobe with his finger.

Shen Ye: “…”

Just talk, don’t touch me! I want to fan myself again now!

Before going to bed at night, Ye Ze took a shower, put on his pajamas, loosened his belt, and went to knock on Shen Ye’s door.

Shen Ye was hit hard as soon as he opened the door!

Half-exposed chest muscles, vaguely visible abdominal muscles… he was too attractive!

Ye Ze noticed his gaze and silently opened his collar a bit.

Shen Ye: “???”

What’s going on? Is the man inviting him to look?

Ye Ze’s ears turned red and he felt a bit uncomfortable as he turned his head away.

After thinking about it since the time he wanted to cook for the child to comfort him but ended up failing, Ye Ze had been thinking that if he could give him some sweet words, his mood might get better.

Shen Ye: “!!!”

So the man was deliberately showing off for him?

Fine, fine, I can’t resist looking! He fixed his eyes on Ye Ze and was about to drool!

He reached out his hand, intending to test the feel again, when he received a call from Cai Zhiwei: “Quick, check Weibo, Xiao Yiyi is really in trouble! The netizens are all praising you!”

The loud voice startled Shen Ye.

His gaze had been fixed on Ye Ze’s abdominal muscles and he asked uninterestedly, “What’s going on?”

“Just check Weibo first and you’ll understand!” Cai Zhiwei hung up the phone.

Shen Ye: “…”

Then why the hell did you call me? You’re interrupting my appreciation of a handsome man!

Shen Ye was so angry.
