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

Chapter 447 An Unexpected Scene

Judge Meng pondered for a moment, then feigned sudden realization: "Oh right, I remember you mentioned this idea to me before. I didn't expect you to actually pull it off?"

Xia Tian nodded: "Yes, I submitted a report to Dean Zhao."

Judge Meng's expression was unreadable: "Yes, yes, Judge Zhao did mention this to me yesterday, saying that a psychology expert would be coming, and the application was approved quickly... So it was today?"

Summer complained, "You bet we can't wait another day. Everyone's had enough."

Looking at Xia Tian and her companions standing in a row at the door.

Judge Meng twitched the corner of his mouth: "I didn't expect this, I didn't expect this, a psychological expert... You young people really have ideas. And Xia seems to have a lot of confidence in the expert who's coming."

He said with a smile, but had already taken a step back: "Then you should go in early. You should also pay attention to your own work and not get involved too much. It's almost the end of the quarter, and there's still a lot of work to do."

They're getting ready to leave.

Xia Tian thought for a moment and then invited, "Meng Ting, would you like to see the experts who came today? After all, they're dealing with your client's family. I saw them when we discussed the schedule yesterday; you didn't have any cases this morning..."

"There are no cases, but there are many things to do." Judge Meng waved his hand in refusal.

He was about to say something else.

But then, as if a radar had suddenly activated, Xia Tian abruptly turned her head and pointed at a car, exclaiming with delight:
"They're coming!"

Judge Meng paused for a moment; it wouldn't look good if he rushed off now.

He also recognized the car.

Woo buzz——

The engine was turned off, and Chonghui stopped at the entrance. He and Nan Zhuren then got out of the car. Mo Kai took the driver's seat and, following the security guard's instructions, parked the teacher's car in a suitable location.

Then Chonghui whispered something to Nan Zhuren beside him and quickly walked over.

He stretched out his hand from afar: "Meng Ting."

Judge Meng shook Chonghui's hand twice and nodded, saying, "Is this Teacher Chong? So you're the psychologist who came today."

"How is Teacher Bai doing lately? And Teacher Weng?"

As mentioned before, the company and the court had a short-term exchange.

Chonghui, who was often by Bai Qinghua's side, naturally knew almost everyone in Bai Qinghua's work circle.

"Teacher is doing well, and my senior sister is in Jiangdu now," Chonghui replied, then looked embarrassed. "I'm here today as an 'assistant.' My junior brother is mainly doing the work..."

Judge Meng had already noticed Nan Zhuren when Chonghui walked over.

At first glance, he was already planning how to utilize such a talented person in the court's publicity department.

In this situation, the fact that he was still able to react immediately and exchange pleasantries with Chonghui shows that his previous interactions with Bai Qinghua were indeed quite pleasant.

But upon hearing Chonghui's words, Judge Meng's expression immediately turned displeased.

He frowned slightly, as if joking, and said, "Such a young teacher? Is he a 'junior'? After Teacher Weng left, have Teacher Bai's students progressed so quickly?"

Before Chonghui could react, he turned to Nan Zhuren and asked, "What is your surname, young teacher... um, what are you looking at?"

……

A group of five people gathered at the entrance, including two staff members with name tags around their necks, and a middle-aged man who looked like a leader and was dressed in a shirt, suit pants, and leather shoes.

The middle-aged man was carrying a suit-style uniform on his arm, with a law emblem pinned to his chest.

This is absolutely eye-catching.

Several people, holding documents and looking distressed, were already hesitating about whether to come forward and speak to Judge Meng on their behalf.

If it weren't for the fact that the leader seemed to be busy with important matters, the crowd gathered at the entrance wouldn't be just a few pairs of eyes, but a whole circle of people involved in the case.

aside——

"Zhihao, what are you looking at?" Nan Zhihao, who was still wearing a mask and a baseball cap even in the sweltering heat, paused for a moment.

He snapped back to reality after hearing the voice beside him.

Faced with his companion's question, he didn't answer immediately, his mind racing with a multitude of thoughts—

[This...is that Mr. Nan from the psychological counseling company? What's he doing here...?]

"It's because I didn't renew my subscription... No, that's impossible. You're overthinking it. It's probably just that something else happened..."

Strange images flashed through my mind, including several pictures of a consultation room.

Nan Zhihao clenched his fist and pounded his head twice, as if trying to suppress the unruly thoughts in his mind.

"Zhihao, what's wrong?"

Concerned voices rang out again from beside me.

Fortunately, he was wearing a mask so his expression couldn't be seen. Nan Zhihao took a deep breath and whispered to his companion, "I probably haven't been sleeping well lately, and I felt a little dizzy just now."

Upon hearing this, his companion displayed a complex expression.

Nan Zhihao's eyes involuntarily began to twitch. His companions were there to help him, that's for sure.

But every detail of the other person's facial expression felt like needles piercing his eyes.

It hurt terribly from being pricked.

Why did I have to run into the school counselor at this time...?

This is already embarrassing enough... to ask others for help because of it...

If others find out I'm going to get psychological counseling, then...

Nan Zhihao's breathing suddenly became heavy.

His companion continued to comfort him: "It's okay, I worked as an auxiliary police officer at this court for a while, I know some people there. I'll go and ask around about your situation, things will definitely get better..."

Nan Zhihao ignored him, and only after being shaken twice more by his companions did he stammer, "Okay..."

His gaze involuntarily drifted towards the doorway again.

[…Don’t look at me, don’t look at me, don’t look at me… He thinks he saw me!]

……

Nan Zhuren's eyes glazed over for a moment.

Then, as if he hadn't noticed anything amiss, he turned to Judge Meng without changing his expression and said, "Hello, Judge Meng, I am Nan Zhuren, a student of Teacher Bai."

"I was quite surprised to see you dressed so formally in such hot weather... You must work very hard."

Although his tone was flat, his attitude was still quite polite.

In just a short while, Judge Meng's forehead was covered with a thin layer of sweat again.

"...Let's go inside first. This concerns my client, so I need to explain some details to you to avoid any misunderstandings... Wait, how did she get in? When did she arrive?"

Before he could finish speaking, Judge Meng's expression changed drastically.

Not far away, an elderly woman in her eighties suddenly darted out from the crowd and approached at a speed completely unreasonable for her age.

Then——

With a "creak," his waist bent over, and his knees, legs, and feet all followed, causing him to crawl on the ground.

【…Holy crap?】
