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

Chapter 177: Throw a punch first, then ask the questions while you're doing it... Have you already asked them all? Never mind then.
While confronting Liu Pan, Nan Zhuren kept his attention on Huang Xin.

This was a lesson learned from the previous mistake of "ignoring Liu Pan," and a precaution to prevent any crucial information about Huang Xin from being overlooked.

And it really happened—

First of all, Huang Xin seemed a little uncomfortable when he heard Liu Pan mention giving Nan Zhuren job and further education opportunities.

Secondly, after Liu Pan expressed contempt for Chen Jie's death, Huang Xin showed even greater disgust.

The former seems to stem from Huang Xin's discomfort at how easily Nan Zhuren was given an opportunity and how easily Liu Pan was given an opportunity.

The latter, however, is a stance expressed under the influence of ethics and morality.

When both of these occur, the emotions mix together and transform into a kind of "anger".

Importantly, this anger was not only directed at Nan Zhuren, but also included Liu Pan!
This is very interesting.

There is also a good chance.

Therefore, Nan Zhuren directly pointed out this emotion—

"You strongly disagree with Junior Brother Liu's attitude, don't you, Senior Brother Huang?"

……

Huang Xin opened his mouth but did not answer Nan Zhuren's words.

His complex emotions surged for a moment, but then subsided, and he returned to his almost lying-flat posture.

Nan Zhuren thought about this situation a little more.

To be honest, he has mixed feelings right now.

He came to see Huang Xin and Liu Pan today with many questions, but in the end, only a few of them were answered—Lin Lilin was indeed changing the clinic's records, and those records were hidden somewhere in Lin Lilin's office, most likely with the ledgers.

That's about it.

He was in a bad mood, not only because he hadn't gained anything, but also because he had indeed been stirred up by some emotions.

Should we do something? Even something simple like this?

Just as Nan Zhuren hesitated slightly, Liu Pan surprisingly spoke up again, swaying slightly.

He was actually responding to what Nan Zhuren had just said:
“Brother Huang has formal training, just like you, Brother Nan, so he might have some pointless insistence. But once he actually works with patients, these insistences will disappear…”

"Senior Brother Nan, you really should reconsider my suggestion. Chen Jie's matter is easy to resolve. I heard his parents even went to see you? All of this can be taken care of..."

【solve.】

Nan Zhuren muttered those two words. Suddenly, he looked at the recorder in his hand, then glanced around the lab.

"Senior Brother Huang," Nan Zhuren asked abruptly, "I remember that the psychology lab doesn't install surveillance cameras to protect the privacy of the participants, right?"

Huang Xin was taken aback, and subconsciously answered, "Yes."

Nan Zhuren then pointed at Liu Pan and said to Huang Xin, "You want to hit him, don't you?"

After saying that, before Huang Xin could reply, Nan Zhuren turned around and looked at Liu Pan bluntly: "I also want to hit you."

Liu Pan was taken aback, and subconsciously wanted to laugh, which was one of his purposes; but when he looked at the recording pen that was already in Nan Zhuren's hand, his eyes quickly became flustered again.

"But this is a thought driven by anger, and resorting to violence only serves to vent emotions. I have always believed that venting emotions is the most meaningless behavior when facing problems because it does not solve them."

Nan Zhuren shook his head: "After all, every action has a purpose, right?"

Liu Pan nodded repeatedly, a hint of relief in his eyes.

His behavior and thinking have completely followed Nan Zhuren.

Nan Zhuren remained calm, silently pressing a switch in his mind.

[Emotional readjustment]

A slight weariness followed by a calming of emotions and a return to clear thinking. After two breaths, Nan Zhuren looked at Liu Pan with a complicated expression: "I still want to hit you."

Liu Pan was taken aback.

Before he could react, Nan Zhuren's right hand transformed into a black shadow once more. This time it was faster, more powerful, and his hand was clenched into a fist.

--boom!

"Nan Zhuren!"

Huang Xin suddenly stood up, but was frozen in place by Nan Zhuren's gaze.

Liu Pan's head snapped back, and then his whole body swayed back a few steps as if he were drunk, before collapsing to the ground with a thud.

Covering his face.

Whether it was because he had lost his will to resist in any sense due to being repeatedly broken by Nan Zhuren, or it was just Liu Pan's personality, Liu Pan fell to the ground and refused to get up, even though Nan Zhuren's punches were not heavy. He buried his face in his body, hunched over, and began to tremble like an ostrich.

Did you type "rewind"?

Nan Zhuren shook his head: "With such a mentality and such ethics, I can only say it's fortunate that you didn't study well and have no chance of becoming a doctor."

"Of course, I will absolutely not give you the possibility of being my psychological counselor again. I will definitely bring down Lin Lilin and your psychological clinic."

After throwing one punch, Nan Zhuren did not continue.

He turned to look at Huang Xin, who was clearly uneasy because of his punch.

Nan Zhuren said something unexpected: "You can consider this a gift."

Huang Xin blinked. What gift? You mean you punched me to vent your anger?
Nan Zhuren said, "You can tell Lin Lilin what happened today, tell him that I punched Liu Pan. That way, I'll have made a scene here, and some of the information you revealed under my threats can be said to have been revealed this time."

"After all, revealing some information to help protect his partner's son from harm is a more legitimate reason, isn't it?"

Huang Xin suddenly opened his eyes wide. In this way, he would no longer have to live in fear every day, and he would no longer have to worry about his teacher finding out that he had told Nan Zhuren the secret.

"As for Liu Pan, he probably doesn't want his father to know how humiliated he was this time, so he will definitely tell you the same story."

Huang Xin glanced at Liu Pan, who was now burying his head in the sand like an ostrich, and remained silent for a while.

"Why did you do this?" he suddenly asked.

Nan Zhuren shook his hand and answered matter-of-factly, "For a better mood."

"...?"

As Nan Zhuren spoke, he walked towards the door: "I am a person with a strong sense of ethics and morality. What this guy just said to me has touched my spiritual purity. If I don't punch him, I will feel that my spirit has been tainted, and I will hesitate in similar situations in the future; even when investigating Lin Lilin later, I will not be as determined as I am now."

Nan Zhuren affirmed, "I threw this punch in order to maintain my purity and to ensure that my knowledge and actions are in harmony."

The answer was completely irrelevant.

But Huang Xin no longer had the chance to ask any more questions. As soon as he finished speaking, Nan Zhuren left the laboratory.

Huang Xin fell silent.

After a while, he slowly stepped forward and helped Liu Pan, who was lying on the ground, to his feet.

"Junior brother, get yourself ready. The next subject will be here soon, and we still need to collect data and write the paper."

That's how graduate students are; no matter what happens, they still have to continue doing experiments and writing papers.

You need to adjust your mindset very quickly.

Liu Pan looked up; he was still young, so he gave Huang Xin an incredulous look.

After bowing his head for a moment, Huang Xin slowly said to Liu Pan, "Junior brother, what did you do about Li Minglu's case? Can you tell me about it?"
