Chapter 339: Half a Psychologist
Yang Yiyao was really stumped by Xu Wen's question.

She knew the question was meaningful.

And there is a high probability that it is related to the USB flash drive he just looked at, and there may be some unspeakable secrets in it.

However, the most important thing a qualified listener should do is not to actively explore the other person's secrets.

Unless he says it himself.

Based on the various situations she had just learned, Yang Yiyao began to think about how to answer the question Xu Wen had just raised.

"If I had the upper hand over you." Her soft whisper echoed in the quiet divination room.

Yang Yiyao's fingertips gently stroked the edge of the celadon teacup.

The rose eye mask glows dark red under the warm light.

After hesitating for a long time, she finally thought of the answer, and suddenly leaned forward.

A strand of hair fell on the table.

She coughed lightly and replied, "That depends on whether the 'handle' is a poisoned dagger or a key to unlock the door."

After saying this line, Yang Yiyao felt secretly happy in her heart.

Such childish lines perfectly match her outfit today.

She felt as if she were one of those bewitching witches in fantasy stories.

Xu Wen didn't expect Yang Yiyao to give any reliable answer.

But isn’t this answer a bit too unreliable?

He was about to complain, but after thinking it over carefully, he felt that her answer seemed to have some meaning.

"Poisoned dagger" or "key to unlock the door".

Which one of these would the evidence Li Qingyun give him be?

"If it were you, what would you want to do?" Xu Wen continued to ask.

The chat, which had originally been hopeless, now seemed to have given him some special inspiration.

"If it were me." Yang Yiyao looked up and began to think.

The words I wanted to say most appeared in my heart in just a moment.

She wanted to say to Xu Wen: "If it were me, I would definitely use this handle to threaten you to be my boyfriend. Although a forced melon is not sweet, it quenches thirst."

But I can't say it so bluntly.

This statement does not quite fit her current identity.

"Of course I hope this is a key, a key that can open your heart." As she spoke, she made a gesture of unlocking a lock with her hand.

Xu Wen thought, maybe he didn't need to open Gu Hong's heart?

"Then I think this handle can not only open my heart, but also open my heart in a physical sense." Xu Wen said with a wry smile.

He made a "gun" gesture and put it against his chest.

After "firing the gun", he fell on the sofa and even closed his eyes.

"Just like this." Xu Wen said softly.

He felt that his movements were quite lifelike.

If he used the evidence in his hand, the relevant departments would definitely want to drill a hole directly into Gu Hong's head.

You don’t have to open your heart, just open your mind.

Yang Yiyao was amused by Xu Wen's lively performance.

She has a whole new perspective on the contents of the USB drive.

Maybe this is a very dangerous handle that can directly threaten a person's life.

Of course, this was just her guess.

Since you have an idea in your mind, you should continue to speak out according to your idea.

"What you mean is that the handle in my hand is not a simple handle, but a gun that can kill people." Yang Yiyao analyzed.

Xu Wen paused for a moment and nodded: "That's about it."

"Then I have to think about it carefully." Yang Yiyao imitated the thinking gesture of the little monk Ikkiu.

After seeing this, Xu Wen complained: "Senior, you are now set as a witch, don't do something that is not in line with your character.

Yang Yiyao closed her eyes and casually replied, "Then I can't do a dance for you like Pleasant Goat thinking about an idea, can I? Or say to you, 'The Scheming Frog keeps touching your belly.'"

Xu Wen picked up the tea and took a sip: "It's not impossible."

After the joke, Yang Yiyao picked up the staff on the table.

She pointed the staff at Xu Wen and lifted it up slightly as if it had recoil.

At the same time, a "biu" sound came out of his mouth.

"If I am holding a gun in my hand right now, and this gun can kill you, then I have to think carefully. When the trigger is pulled, will the recoil shatter my own wrist bones? What if I can't hold the gun and it accidentally goes off and hits myself?" She picked up the handkerchief on the table, gently wiped the wand and put it back.

Xu Wen did not lie down in a hurry, but rested his hands on his legs and thought silently.

He habitually complained: "Where did you get this idea from? This sounds quite philosophical."

Yang Yiyao was very happy to be praised.

The corners of her mouth slightly raised, she stroked the rose eye mask and made a middle school gesture: "Of course I came up with it myself, otherwise do you think I am the number one fortune teller in Linjiang for nothing?"

"Do you still have any competitions?" Xu Wen asked curiously.

"This is the title I gave myself." Yang Yiyao was full of confidence.

I have to say, those words just now did give Xu Wen some inspiration.

He had thought about this as early as when he first got the USB flash drive.

At that time, he didn't know what was inside, but just assumed it was evidence of Gu Hong's crime.

This thing looks like a gun that can allow him to fight back at a critical moment.

But as Yang Yiyao just said, the gun was too powerful. When he fired, the huge recoil would shatter his wrist and even knock him out on the spot.

There are now inextricable connections between him and Gu Hong.

After all, this man is his future father-in-law, and he also has an investment in his largest company now.

If there ever comes a day in the future when he has to use this evidence to protect himself.

Gu Hong wasn't the only one who suffered the harm.

He will also be implicated.

Whether Gu Xingruo can forgive him is also unknown.

The warm light from the overhead lamp shone into his eyes, and Xu Wen slumped down on the sofa and sighed deeply.

He asked again: "What if this gun was lent to you by someone else?"

This "gun" does not belong to him, it was lent to him by someone else.

He borrowed the money, but did not tell him how and when to use it.

Yang Yiyao also slumped in the chair, imitating Xu Wen's behavior.

The question just now was very easy to answer. She said directly: "It depends on whether the person who lent you the gun secretly adjusted the crosshairs, or whether this gun can only be used by you."

Yang Yiyao took off her rose eye mask.

Although the eye mask looks good, it is a little stuffy after wearing it for a long time.

This matter is Xu Wen’s biggest doubt.

Judging from the evidence just now, Li Qingyun did not adjust the sight wrong when he handed the "gun" to him.

He even included himself.

As long as Xu Wen chose to pull the trigger, not only Gu Hong would die, but also Li Qingyun himself.

Maybe he has a backup plan, maybe he is ready to run away at any time?

But all this is just maybe.

Yang Yiyao had already used the word "you" in her words just now, but Xu Wen still insisted on pretending that it was a matter between the two of them.

It's like "I have a friend." He continued, "The sight is right, and there's not only me standing behind the gun, but also the person who gave you the gun. If you shoot, both of us will die."

Yang Yiyao closed his eyes and said, "What if this is his purpose? I'm talking about the person who gave me the gun."

She even deliberately emphasized it at the end.

"Then he could just shoot directly and skip the steps in between. Maybe he could still survive." Xu Wen chuckled.

This is also his biggest doubt now.

Since Li Qingyun already has the evidence, he can report it on his own.

Not only can the higher-ups protect him, but they may also consider it as a case of surrendering himself and making meritorious contributions, thus exempting him from some punishment.

There was absolutely no reason to give him the evidence.

If he reports it, the nature of the matter will be completely different.

"I guess this person is not able to shoot for some reason." Yang Yiyao replied.

As soon as she finished saying this, she was instantly awakened from the sofa and sat up.

"Wait a minute, I suddenly have a bold idea." She said quickly.

Her answer just now was so ordinary that anyone could think of it.

This is totally inconsistent with her personality.

Yang Yiyao was thinking about how to fit the character while thinking about the answer.

Then the idea suddenly appeared in her mind.

"What do you think? Could it be that this is the case? Actually, you gave me this gun yourself. You just used the name of a third person to make me mistakenly think that he gave it to me, so that I could shoot without any scruples." Yang Yiyao spoke quickly.

She felt that her idea was perfect and very creative!
"You thought you were filming Infernal Affairs." Xu Wen denied subconsciously.

But halfway through his words, he suddenly felt that what Yang Yiyao had just said seemed to make some sense.

What if this criminal evidence was provided to him by Gu Hong?
He just borrowed Li Qingyun's name to make Xu Wen think that it was provided by him.

The person who came to deliver the evidence came to Chengyi Hotel to find him.

This person came and left quickly, and Xu Wen couldn't catch up with him at all.

The person who knows Chengyi Hotel best and is most convenient to act is Gu Hong.

The way to confirm whether your guess is correct is simple.

Now just call Li Qingyun and ask him if he has sent anyone to deliver the items today.

But unfortunately the person at the hotel has clearly told us not to contact them.

If Li Qingyun said that he did not send anyone to deliver anything today, Xu Wen would not be able to guess whether he really did not send it or just did not want to be exposed.

What if he guessed wrong.

Today's phone call might bring him unnecessary trouble.

"Maybe there is a second gun inside, pointing at you somewhere you don't know." Yang Yiyao continued when she saw Xu Wen didn't respond for a long time.

She gently pushed the teacup next to the USB drive, and there was a crisp sound when the porcelain and metal collided.

Yang Yiyao’s meaning couldn’t be more obvious.

They no longer need to use phrases like “I have a friend” instead.

After saying so much, Yang Yiyao still didn't understand what had happened.

At the same time, I can't guess what's inside the USB drive.

She only knew that this was probably something important and dangerous, and it might be a handle on some big shot.

If it was something ordinary, Xu Wen’s expression wouldn’t be so conflicted.

Although she didn't understand what was going on, judging from Xu Wen's expression, Yang Yiyao felt that she should be a qualified listener today.

"What you said is quite scary." Xu Wen smiled helplessly.

Even if there is a second gun hidden in the USB flash drive, Xu Wen can only go on with gritted teeth.

He once again thought of what Li Qingyun had said before.

Once you extend your hand, there is no way to take it back.

What's more, he didn't actually want to take his hand back.

Rather than fear, he found that he felt more excitement in his heart, an inexplicable excitement.

The thoughts just now kept emerging in Xu Wen's mind: This evidence was most likely provided by Gu Hong using Li Qingyun's identity.

It was obviously an unreliable guess, but he felt that this was the correct answer.

Xu Wen looked at the things on the computer screen again.

He whispered in his heart: "When do you want me to use this gun?"

If this evidence was really provided by Gu Hong.

That would also explain why the evidence in the USB drive was so sufficient.

"Aren't you afraid that I will report it right now?" Xu Wen chuckled.

Of course he wouldn't do that.

Because if he did that, it wouldn't just be Gu Hong who would be in trouble, he would also be in trouble.

He had absolutely no reason to do that.

Perhaps Gu Hong guessed this.

Seeing Xu Wen talking to himself in front of the computer, Yang Yiyao took the initiative to ask, "Do you feel better after talking to me?"

She feels more like a psychiatrist now.

Xu Wen unplugged the USB drive from the computer and skillfully deleted all traces.

"I don't know if it's good or not, but you did give me a brand new idea." Xu Wen pushed the computer back and spread his hands: "Maybe it's even crazier?"

"Then I have failed miserably as a psychologist." She has begun to call herself a "psychologist."

Xu Wen then complained: "Aren't you a fortune teller? When did you become a psychologist?"

When talking about this issue, Yang Yiyao began to complain to Xu Wen.

She said that those who consult online have all kinds of weird questions and are not here for serious divination at all.

These fortune tellers are now more like cheaper psychologists.

While the two were chatting, Xu Wen's cell phone rang.

He put his phone on speaker and placed it on the table.

The person who called was Lan Qiu Sheng. She said that the company had a contract that required Xu Wen to go back and finalize.

He said "I'll be right back" and hung up the phone.

Seeing this, Yang Yiyao took the initiative to ask, "I heard that you recently recruited that little girl Lan Qiusheng to be your full-time secretary?"

After all, she is half an insider of the company, so she would know about this matter if she asks around.

Xu Wen nodded: "Ruoruo arranged it."

Yang Yiyao almost laughed out loud when she heard this.

Should we say that this young lady has a good brain or a bad brain?
But she also understood, after all, Gu Xingruo was a kind-hearted person.

It's easy to tame her just by touching her fur.

The people who really piss her off are those who openly oppose her.

For example, Xia Ning in the past.

The current Lan Qiusheng is much more capable than the previous Xiao Xia.

Yang Yiyao's finger joints tapped lightly on the table, making a "clang clang" sound.

She pointed at her phone and asked, "So how are you going to deal with the situation between you and her? Our classmate Xiaolan, is she talking about the balance theory again?"

Yang Yiyao always felt that she had a God's perspective in this complicated relationship.

Now it seems that it is true.
