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

Chapter 229 Lin Lilin: Forgive others when you can...

The time is the next day.

Yan Nuo Psychological Center.

Consulting Director's Office.

Weng Pingting looked at Nan Zhuren in disbelief: "So, yesterday you slapped Wang Sui, a family member of a visitor, in the teaching building of the School of Psychology at Jiang University, and then you also beat up Lin Lilin?"

Upon returning to Yan Nuo Center, Nan Zhuren immediately went to find Weng Pingting and discussed what had happened at Jiangda University the previous day.

After hearing the consultant's question, he rubbed his wrist and then moved his ankle, as if something was wrong.

After thinking for a moment, Nan Zhuren corrected, "Strictly speaking, I didn't 'hit' Lin Lilin, I 'kicked' him."

“When it comes to ‘hitting,’ people usually use their hands, but I use my feet.”

His expression was very serious.

Is this the time to nitpick over the words?

Weng Pingting seemed hesitant to speak, yet remained silent.

After a long pause, he simply sighed, rubbing his forehead with his right hand: "Tell me, what are you thinking?"

Nan Zhuren lowered his head to think: "As for the idea, it's actually quite satisfying. I'll only tell you this—I've wanted to beat up Lin Lilin for a long time, and I also have some feelings for Wang Sui."

Weng Pingting now rested her left hand on her forehead, feeling as if her head was about to collapse: "Who asked you that... I asked you why you made that decision back then. Did you really lose control of your emotions?!"

Nan Zhuren then straightened his expression.

He had already prepared his explanation in his mind, and he would say it in a way that could be explained to others:
“At that time, Li Minglu’s condition was completely unappeaseable. In order to save him, we had to use extraordinary measures, so I thought about whether I could stimulate his emotions.”

“Since his core beliefs are related to his family, I thought I might slap his wife to arouse his anger and protective instincts, thereby making him give up his suicidal thoughts.”

A very aggressive intervention strategy.

No, even "radical" wouldn't be an appropriate word.

It's madness, it's insanity.

But it worked, saving the visitor's life.

Judging from the results, this method is actually commendable.

"This is barely acceptable... but why did you kick Lin Lilin? What emotions did it provoke in Li Minglu?"

Nan Zhuren thought for a moment and realized he really couldn't explain it: "Well... just pretend I couldn't control my emotions."

As he spoke, he rubbed his toes against the ground.

Weng Pingting sighed, "Actually, I already knew about this news before you came."

Nan Zhuren blinked.

"Like I said before, you did, after all, assault Professor Lin Lilin, a psychology professor, in the Psychology Department. This behavior—"

Weng Pingting shook her head: "You were able to get into Jiangda University because of the company's cooperation project. So the college called me immediately to hold me accountable, after all, the impact was too bad."

"After this, barring any unforeseen circumstances, you probably won't be able to get into Jiang University."

That's really troublesome.

Nan Zhuren paused, then sighed deeply: "I'm sorry for causing you trouble... Does the boss know?"

“He doesn’t need to know.” Weng Pingting waved her hand. “Saving Li Minglu is enough. No project is more important than a human life.”

Nan Zhuren smiled gently.

He was about to say something else.

"What are you doing, fidgeting with your feet? Can't you sit still here with me?" Weng Pingting suddenly said.

Nan Zhuren blinked, and the sole of his shoe, which was rubbing against the ground, immediately stopped.

He explained, "I kicked Lin Lilin yesterday, didn't I? Maybe I kicked too hard, or maybe it's because I haven't been exercising much lately, so my ankle is a bit sore now..."

Weng Pingting blinked, seemingly realizing something was amiss. "Wait a minute... you kicked Lin Lilin, and ended up hurting yourself?"

How hard did you kick that?

Nan Zhuren shifted his ankle again, seemingly assessing the situation, or perhaps savoring the moment...

……

"Teacher, you're finally awake!"

In a daze, Lin Lilin heard someone calling his name; the voice sounded very familiar.

He struggled to open his eyes, feeling as if something was stuck in his chest.

With each breath, a wave of pain suddenly spread from within him.

"Hiss..." Lin Lilin couldn't help but gasp.

"Teacher, please don't move. The doctor wants you to lie down for a while!"

doctor?

Lin Lilin remembered.

Yesterday, I was kicked by Nan Zhuren for no reason, and then...

Lin Lilin silently turned her head and saw the snow-white sheets, the snow-white pillow, the cold support and the saline solution on the support, with the transparent plastic tube still dripping.

He looked down; he was wearing a blue and white striped hospital gown.

That kick landed him in the hospital...

I remember the chaos at the time, but I can't recall the specifics of how it was handled. Anyway, Li Minglu was pulled up immediately and his life was saved; while Nan Zhuren was taken up by security guards and then kicked out of the school.

Then she kept crying out in pain, and the students nervously took her to the hospital.

I supposed to have some things to take care of, but I was in so much pain I was barely conscious. I was thinking of getting checked out and then going back to get things done, but I ended up staying out all night…

What's with that brat Nan Zhuren's strength?! I...

"teacher!"

Liu Pan, who had been sitting, saw Lin Lilin suddenly start heaving violently and then cry out in pain. He quickly stopped him, saying, "The doctor looked at the X-ray and said you might have a fracture in your sternum. He told you not to get angry..."

That's what it says.

But as Lin Lilin looked at Liu Pan's face, he became even angrier.

—After all, if this kid hadn't acted like a lunatic and suddenly brought the client's family to find Nan Zhuren, leaving the client alone in the consultation room, none of this would have happened!
Looking at Lin Lilin's fierce expression, Liu Pan suddenly felt he understood something:
"Teacher, should we get rid of Nan Zhuren?"

At this point, Liu Pan's eyes lit up, a rare occurrence for him: "A fractured sternum is old enough to warrant a forensic medical examination. I'll call my dad over later, and we can try to get a more severe report. Plus, during the examination, you can fake a concussion, claim dizziness, and blurred vision—I know how to do that..."

For a moment, Lin Lilin was actually somewhat tempted.

But then he looked at Liu Pan's face and felt his own chest.

Then I recalled the professional knowledge I had learned and the cases I had encountered.

Lin Lilin's rich life experience and solid professional foundation enabled him to control his emotions.

"Let it go..." he said, sounding somewhat disheartened. "After all, Zhu Ren was once my student, your senior. He won't be coming back to school anymore, so he can't bother us anymore. Let's be forgiving..."

Liu Pan blinked in surprise.

Unlike his astonishment, the other person next to him suddenly breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

It's Huang Xin.

Lin Lilin tilted his head and looked at him.

He squinted.
