Chapter 146 Blind Spot! Psychological Game!
Just as Lin Zhiqing was about to speak, Jiang Liuyun slapped his forehead after Lu Huai reminded him: "I remember now!"

"Are you talking about that place with only three or four guards, and one of them is even sleeping?"

Lin Zhiqing and Lu Huai nodded in unison.

Seeing this, Lu Huai looked at Lin Zhiqing, already guessing that Lin Zhiqing also suspected the warehouse.

Sensing Lu Huai's gaze, Lin Zhiqing offered a few words of explanation:

"I noticed there were few people there, which seemed a bit unusual, so I made a note of it."

"I was just attracted by the sound of the river clams in the kitchen at the time, and I didn't think that far ahead for a moment."

"I see." Lu Huai nodded.

Jiang Liuyun had been grinning broadly because he remembered the warehouse, but then his smile vanished.
“The guards around there were far too lax, which is why I didn’t notice anything wrong with the storeroom before.”

"It can't be such a coincidence, can it?"

"Who would hand over the evidence to those sleepyheads to guard?"

“No, this is no coincidence.” Lin Zhiqing also looked in the direction of the warehouse.

Lu Huai seemed to understand Lin Zhiqing's meaning: "It's not a coincidence, could it be a trap set by Liu Mang?"

“That’s right, this study is probably meant to draw our attention.” Lin Zhiqing’s eyes held a hint of excitement.

Because she realized once again that Liu Mang was indeed a rare genius.

He is knowledgeable in psychology, and his every move subtly reflects psychological principles.

Even a simple question like where the evidence is has been turned into a psychological game through Liu Mang's arrangement.

He made the most of the space in the Liu residence, using visual, auditory, and olfactory elements to draw people's attention.

The purpose is to draw attention to more prominent locations like the study or the main room, thereby concealing the truly important places.

Of course, this doesn't mean Lin Zhiqing is certain the evidence is in the warehouse; they still need to verify that.

Even though Lin Zhiqing had not yet obtained any evidence or met Liu Mang, she could still feel the excitement of meeting a worthy opponent through this series of arrangements.

Lu Huai noticed Lin Zhiqing's eagerness and said, "In that case, why don't we go and take a look?"

"That's exactly what I was thinking." Lin Zhiqing smiled.

Then, Lu Huai and Lin Zhiqing's gazes both shifted to Jiang Liuyun.

Jiang Liuyun felt a little uncomfortable under their gazes. He scratched his head and said, "I'll listen to Qing'er. Since Qing'er wants to go, let's go."

With that, he took the lead and walked towards the door.

Lin Zhiqing followed closely behind.

Lu Huai cleaned up the traces left where the group had been standing before following them.

It was very quiet outside the study.

There was no difference between the two groups and the one before Lin Zhiqing and the others arrived.

Having learned from their experience, they were able to return in a shorter time.

In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the group had already approached the kitchen.

Hearing the familiar sound of clams blowing bubbles, Lin Zhiqing looked at the two men: "Can you still hear that sound clearly now?"

“Obviously,” Lu Huai replied.

Jiang Liuyun shook his head.

This is the difference between being consciously awake and being passively awakened, and Lin Zhiqing understands this perfectly:

"It's alright. No matter what you see, hear, or smell, as long as it's related to the study of mind, I'm here to protect you and keep you safe."

As she spoke, her chin unconsciously tilted slightly upward, her face radiating a confidence she herself was unaware of.

Perhaps infected by her confidence, Lu Huai and Jiang Liuyun both nodded with light smiles, indicating that they believed in her.

Lin Zhiqing was oblivious to the emotions hidden in their smiles; she was preoccupied with another question. Lu Huai had broken free from the dream on his own, so those voices had already emanated from his subconscious.

In other words, even if he encounters a similar sound again, he might be able to keenly sense that something is wrong.

Of course, it's not always possible to resist it, but being able to detect it is already quite an achievement.

It must be said that if Lu Huai were in Lin Zhiqing's previous world, he might have been a promising student of psychology.

Although Jiang Liuyun was not very proficient in psychology, he was highly skilled in martial arts and especially adept at military strategy. The two of them were indeed among the top young men in Shengjing City.

"Qing'er." Jiang Liuyun looked towards the storeroom: "You and Brother Lu wait here for a moment. There are only three people around the storeroom. I can handle them."

"Come over after I've dealt with them."

"No way." Lin Zhiqing rejected his suggestion without even thinking: "That Liu Mang is cunning and treacherous; the warehouse might be a trap too."

“You know that the study of mind-reading is difficult to deal with, and I’m worried about you going alone.”

Lu Huai chimed in, "That's right, Qing'er is right. Can I just watch you risk your life all by yourself?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Liuyun glanced in the direction of the warehouse and then nodded: "Alright, let's go there now."

The three figures moved quickly toward the warehouse.

Lin Zhiqing observed carefully the whole way, afraid that he might miss the psychological suggestion left by Liu Mang.

But the area around the warehouse was very quiet, with no special decorations or strange smells.

Seeing that they were only a few dozen steps away from the warehouse, Jiang Liuyun stopped.

The distance was too close, so he didn't speak, but instead used his eyes to ask Lin Zhiqing if there were any mind-reading traps nearby.

Lin Zhiqing understood his gaze and then shook her head.

Jiang Liuyun made a gesture: "Shall we go straight there?"

Lin Zhiqing nodded.

After seeing her actions, Jiang Liuyun mouthed to Lin Zhiqing, telling her and Lu Huai to slowly move over.

He went to deal with the three guards first.

Lin Zhiqing nodded again, and Jiang Liuyun dashed off like an arrow.

His movements were light and quick.

In the blink of an eye, Lin Zhiqing had only taken a few steps when she saw Jiang Liuyun already behind the three guards.

Lin Zhiqing quickened her pace, and as soon as she arrived, she saw Jiang Liuyun swiftly chop one of the guards in the back of the neck with a hand chop.

The guards collapsed to the ground before they could even utter a sound.

Jiang Liuyun grabbed one person with each hand and caught the last guard with his foot to cushion the impact.

To avoid making too much noise when the three guards fall to the ground.

Things went so smoothly it was almost unbelievable.

Lin Zhiqing stepped forward and checked the guards' breathing. After confirming that the three men were just asleep and had not caused any deaths, he searched one of them and found a key. He then got up and looked at the warehouse door.

It was a simple door, without any patterns or decorations. Lin Zhiqing went up and touched it, but found nothing unusual.

"Is there really any evidence here?" Jiang Liuyun's face showed obvious doubt.

"Why don't we go in and take a look?" Lu Huai stepped forward and blocked Lin Zhiqing behind him.

After receiving the key from Lin Zhiqing, Lu Huai inserted it into the lock.

"Click" sound.

Door……

opened!
