Who would study psychology if they didn't have some kind of problem?

Chapter 158 Surely we can't just start fighting?
"Teacher Hu, what do you think Zhu Ren is talking about with the client's family right now in the consultation room?"

"Manager Weng, how would I know that..."

"So what do you think they'll do?"

"This, this, we can't possibly start a fight, can we? Hahahaha..."

Perhaps feeling that he had said something quite humorous, Teacher Hu couldn't help but laugh.

Then it stopped very quickly.

Inside the supervisor's office.

After Nan Zhuren and Chen Jie's parents entered the consultation room, Weng Pingting called Teacher Hu to the office.

After all, apart from Nan Zhuren and Weng Pingting, Teacher Hu was the person at the scene who knew the most about the Nan Zhuren incident.

But at this moment, Weng Pingting seemed to regret it a little, because she had made Teacher Hu laugh in an awkward way.

The female manager squinted at her subordinate with the impressive beard and said, "Your smile looks so fake."

Mr. Hu was taken aback, as if he wanted to be surprised, but the next second he suddenly felt that the current situation was very familiar, so he gradually became indifferent.

Weng Pingting continued, "When you were laughing just now, only the area around your mouth was moving; there was no pulling sensation around your eyes at all."

"And while you were laughing, you kept watching my reactions, so... wait, isn't your reaction right now a bit off?"

Being exposed while trying to cover something up should be a very unpleasant experience, but at this moment, Teacher Hu is actually somewhat resigned to his fate.

He said slowly, "By the way, supervisor, did you teach Teacher Nan those micro-expression techniques? In all my years of work, I've only ever seen the two of you who are like that."

"Are you related by lineage in terms of your teachers?"

Weng Pingting blinked.

This highly experienced psychologist was actually taken aback by Teacher Hu's remark.

By a twist of fate, the effect that Mr. Hu's earlier lame joke failed to achieve was now accomplished.

The previously somewhat irritating office atmosphere suddenly cleared up and became relatively calm, allowing people to settle down and think about problems.

“What you said isn’t entirely unreasonable. If our understanding is correct, the family members of the visitors might actually resort to violence in extreme circumstances… Let’s keep an eye on things.”

Weng Pingting actually took Teacher Hu's words quite seriously.

After a moment of thoughtful silence, Weng Pingting brought the topic back on track.

"This is definitely Lin Lilin's doing."

"It was he who revealed Zhu Ren's workplace to Chen Jie's family, the family of the person involved in the medical malpractice incident."

"This also explains what has happened these past few days."

"The other party did not come to our door immediately after learning about this news, probably because they used their connections to confirm its authenticity and at the same time prepared themselves mentally."

Weng Pingting frowned deeply: "That's why there was no movement for the past few days; the real trouble is happening today."

Teacher Hu blinked: "But isn't it now confirmed that 'Liu Lin Psychological Clinic' has problems? Shall we go and explain?"

As he spoke, he got up to leave, making it seem as if he was going to the consultation room to find Nan Zhuren.

But he quickly pulled himself back down, muttering to himself:
"No, it's better if trouble comes immediately than after so many days... because it means the other party isn't retaliating out of anger, but rather has made ample preparations." "The other party is willing to send people over to cause trouble, so they're definitely not afraid of our retaliation. They've probably already revised the documents after so many days. Even if we persuade the visitor's family to respond, in the face of this standoff, they will definitely choose to believe Lin Lilin rather than us."

Teacher Hu frowned deeply, suddenly becoming angry: "If that's the case, then the evidence we got from the psychological clinic is useless, isn't it? Now we've been outmaneuvered..."

Weng Pingting shook her head and comforted Teacher Hu.

"No, given their business model, it's absolutely impossible for them to erase all the evidence; what they show to the outside world has definitely been completely embellished, so they're not afraid of us confronting the visitors' families with it."

Weng Pingting's worries, however, were something else entirely.

"What I'm more worried about is the impact on Nan Zhuren if the families of those involved in these accident cases sit in front of him again..."

Teacher Hu blinked, then looked startled and horrified.

The two people in the office began to recall Nan Zhuren's usual behavior patterns.

"His dedication to Jiangda University, Lin Lilin, and others..."

"An extraordinary fervor for psychological counseling..."

"Self-destructive tendencies..."

"Furthermore," Teacher Hu added, "I don't know if you've noticed, Supervisor, but Teacher Nan's mood is usually very calm. Apart from the things mentioned above, almost nothing can arouse his interest..."

Weng Pingting took a deep breath.

She murmured to herself, "No, no, things might not be that bad. He told me before about going to meet Jiang Yue. If we can build new social support in this situation..."

Teacher Hu interrupted first: "I know that girl. We met when we were intervening in Chen Ting's case! And that girl is still working at the Jiangda Counseling Center, helping Teacher Nan arrange counseling and giving him the opportunity to go to Jiangda!"

If what Teacher Hu said is true, then the girl is not part of the social support system!
Weng Pingting stood up abruptly: "Nan Zhuren is in danger right now, in every sense of the word! If that's the case, I'd rather the visitors' families physically interrupt their conversation than let them stay any longer!"

Teacher Hu was stunned for a moment, and then immediately stood up as well.

He was taller and had longer legs than Weng Pingting, and was more robust. Although he got up later, he was much faster than Weng Pingting.

He squeezed in front of Weng Pingting without any sense of responsibility and rushed out of the supervisor's office in three steps.

In the corridor, Teacher Hu immediately spotted Lu Jia lingering outside the consultation room.

"Xiaojia," Teacher Hu's voice was a little unsteady, but she still tried her best to keep it low, "Is there any noise coming from inside?"

The receptionist was startled by Teacher Hu, and then she saw Weng Pingting starting to peek out from behind; although she didn't know how things were going to turn out, she was fully aware of the seriousness of the situation.

"No, there was no sound at all. It had been like this the whole time..."

Snapped!
A sharp, loud crash suddenly rang out from the office area, enough to make one worry that something might break.

Everyone could tell that it was the sound of a fist or some heavy object hitting the glass coffee table.

Teacher Hu made a quick decision and stepped forward to start turning the doorknob.

It was at this moment that a low, but even more ominous, voice came from inside.

boom!
That's the dull thud of a fist hitting something!

And the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground!
And then, a series of crackling sounds followed.
