Rebirth 2014: I, the King of Criminal Investigation

Chapter 635 The Psychologist is Depressed

If given a choice, Yu Dazhang certainly wouldn't want to help people in this way.

But...

He wasn't entirely at a disadvantage either.

At least in terms of his physical functions, he has indeed made great progress, and even his thinking ability is incomparable to that of his previous life.

Without these changes, he wouldn't have achieved so much in this lifetime.

But none of this was Yu Dazhang's own choice; in fact, he was completely passively accepted it.

This is like slapping someone and then giving them a sweet treat.

No normal person would willingly take a slap just to get a treat.

Moreover, the slap Yu Dazhang received was extremely harsh.

He was used as a guinea pig by that group of people and tortured for nine and a half months. Anyone else would have died long ago.

"Do you think the soul has strength?" Yu Dazhang asked Ying Xuelian.

He knew the question was a bit ridiculous, but he just couldn't help asking it.

Moreover, he knew that Ying Xuelian would definitely give him an answer.

"I think so."

Ying Xuelian thought for a moment, then answered affirmatively:

"What you call soul strength is related to willpower. Willpower and consciousness frequency both determine a person's spiritual strength."

She further explained:

"For example, when children go to the hospital, they will instinctively feel fear. When they see the doctor take out a needle, most children will scream out of fear."

"But this doesn't happen with adults because adults have relatively stronger willpower and are better able to control their emotions and behavior."

Finally, she concluded:
"This difference can also be seen as a manifestation of the strength of the soul."

That's it... Now Yu Dazhang was even more certain.

Her answer was similar to what Yu Dazhang had expected.

The reason I was able to overcome that side effect is most likely related to my rebirth.

The fusion of memories from two lifetimes could very well make one's willpower twice as strong as that of an ordinary person.

Currently, he believes this is the only logical explanation.

Just as Da Zhang was about to discuss the matter further, there was a sudden knock on the door.

Immediately afterwards, the suite door was pushed open from the outside, and Ye Zhiyu peeked in, asking:
"It's been so long, and you're still not done talking?"

Ye Zhiyu's face showed a hint of reluctance, as if he had been forced to come in and ask about the situation.

The two people inside knew at a glance that this was Qu Tuotuo's intention.

"We're done talking, come in." Yu Dazhang smiled and waved to him.

He then took out his phone and checked the time.

Before he knew it, he and Ying Xuelian had been chatting for an hour.

There was no way around it; that topic was just too captivating. Yu Dazhang figured he could have kept chatting with Ying Xuelian indefinitely if no one had interrupted him.

After Ye Zhiyu came in, Qu Tuotuo followed him into the room.

"It's almost 5:30," she asked, looking at Yu Dazhang.
Are you still going back to your workplace?

He'd been out long enough... When Yu Dazhang came out, he told Lü Zhongxin that he'd be back in an hour at most.

Now, even if I go back, it will be right at the end of the workday.

"I'll make a call," Yu Dazhang said, pulling out his phone and dialing as he spoke.
"If there's nothing else in the team, I won't go back."

The call was quickly connected. After he explained the situation to Lü Zhongxin, the person on the other end told him directly that he didn't need to come back.

That's why he didn't want to go back to the branch.

Working in my mentor's group meant I had a lot of free time, and Lü Zhongxin would always cover for me no matter what. Plus, I never had to worry about anyone badmouthing me behind my back.

"It's about time, let's have a meal together."

Yu Dazhang naturally knew what Qu Tuotuo meant, so he took the initiative to bring it up.

After he finished speaking, he also said to Ye Zhiyu very considerately:
"It's my treat today. You should invite your girlfriend too, and we can all have some fun together."

He meant well, but he didn't expect Ye Zhiyu's face to turn ugly immediately after hearing these words.

"No need," Ye Zhiyu said softly.

"We broke up, and now I'm single again."

They broke up? Yu Dazhang was stunned. It hadn't been that long, had it? He remembered that Ye Zhiyu had just started dating at the end of October last year.

The time he saw them, the two were still very much in love.

"Why?" Yu Dazhang asked curiously.

Ye Zhiyu clearly didn't want to talk about it, and only gave a perfunctory reply:
"The relationship has broken down."

It can't be that simple... Yu Dazhang could tell from his expression that there must be a story behind this.

Before leaving, the four of them discussed it.

Yu Dazhang wanted to go eat hot pot, but Qu Tuotuo and Ying Xuelian rejected the idea.

They were of the same mind and both wanted to eat barbecue, specifically at the place that had the "Mighty Four-Piece Set".

Ye Zhiyu didn't mind, saying he was fine with eating whatever he wanted.

Therefore, the minority yielded to the majority, and the four of them went to the same barbecue restaurant as before.

"A powerful four-piece set, two sets per person."

As soon as she sat down, Qu Tuotuo didn't even look at the menu and directly ordered what she liked to eat.

For some reason, ever since she ate it once, she felt that her skin had improved, and it seemed to have a real beauty and skin-nourishing effect.

And it tastes especially good.

Ying Xuelian clearly shared the same thought as her, and nodded in agreement as she ordered the dishes.

The group then ordered some of the restaurant's specialties and beer.

Except for Yu Dazhang, who doesn't drink and drive, Qu Tuotuo and the others filled their glasses to the brim with alcohol.

After a few drinks, Ye Zhiyu, who had initially seemed sullen, became more talkative.

"Da Zhang, let me tell you, I'm pretty much done for at my age."

He placed his hand on Yu Dazhang's thigh and slapped it loudly.

"It's basically impossible to have a pure love. What she values ​​most is economic strength. Once she finds out my background, she won't even bother to look at me again."

As expected, he was injured... Yu Dazhang was slapped so hard he was wincing.

It's clear that Ye Zhiyu has encountered a gold digger.

Yu Dazhang had seen that woman once before, downstairs at the Yisheng Group building.

On the surface, she seemed quite quiet and reserved, but who would have thought things would turn out this way?

It’s true that people cannot be judged by their appearance.

"Don't be so pessimistic."

Yu Dazhang removed his hand from his thigh and then poured him another full glass of wine:

"You're only in your early thirties, and your income is already quite good. You'll definitely meet someone even better in the future."

"Besides, that kind of woman who snobs and loves the rich isn't worth your time."

Seeing Ye Zhiyu like this, he felt bad too.

Love is the most hurtful thing.

There's a saying that goes: Once you overcome the emotional hurdle, all other hurdles will be overcome.

"It's not her fault."

Ye Zhiyu sighed:
"She has the right to pursue happiness, not because she wants too much, but because I earn too little."

"Moreover, I have a criminal record, and I have a mother with poor health who needs to be taken care of. In addition, my family's financial situation was not good to begin with."

With that, he picked up his glass and drank it all in one gulp.

Yu Dazhang looked at him and blinked twice.

Mental health experts are truly different.

Even after being abandoned, they can still analyze the situation logically and objectively evaluate their failure.

If it were someone else, they would probably have angrily drawn a circle and cursed the other person.

Qu Tuotuo and Ying Xuelian were eating the powerful four-piece set, seemingly not very interested in Ye Zhiyu's affairs.

I guess we've seen this kind of thing so many times that it's nothing new anymore.

After Ye Zhiyu drank another cup, he went to the restroom, and Yu Dazhang followed him.

Once in the restroom, as the two were relieving themselves, Yu Dazhang asked:
What do you think of Wang Yilin?
