Chapter 153: Chapter 151 Consultants Don’t Know How to Prove Themselves in This Situation

Nan Zhubin looked up.

With a quick glance, he caught Weng Pinting’s changing expression and movements.

[Slight descent of the chest.]

[Flared nostrils.]

[Is this... a sigh of relief?]

Nan Zhubin’s face remained unchanged, but he slightly frowned internally.

[Was she... afraid before?]

[No, she was worried.]

[What is she worried about?]

Nan Zhubin thought for a moment and concluded, "Sister Pingting, that’s about the situation with this case." ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

He changed the subject, intending to ask about serious matters: "The prescription list I asked you to check before—any results?"

Nan Zhubin saw Weng Pinting purse her lips.

[Hesitation.]

He heard Weng Pinting say, "There are some results, but the issue isn’t significant."

"In Li Minglu’s prescription list, there are many types of prescribed drugs, and the combinations were changed twice in the process. But as you said, perhaps because of your ’incident,’ they have been much more cautious about it, and there’s no problem with the dosages."

"There are quite a few types of traditional medicine health pills, mostly with calming effects. But nothing severe enough to harm the patients."

Weng Pinting’s speech was slow.

[Not lying, then why the hesitation?]

Nan Zhubin pondered.

He waited for a moment and suddenly realized Weng Pinting had stopped talking.

Nan Zhubin realized something.

"Sister Pingting, that was just about Li Minglu, so—what about the others?"

As expected.

Nan Zhubin then saw Weng Pinting take a deep breath.

She didn’t answer directly but said slowly, "Zhuren, I’m a bit worried about you."

"In the past, I never spoke to you frankly, but you’re going too far now."

"Zhuren, your mental state—it’s not right."

...

Nan Zhubin was taken aback.

Even with his current psychological resilience, he was a bit stunned.

He never expected the reason Weng Pinting revealed the ’concealment’ would be this.

Weng Pinting continued, "Don’t you think you have some similarities with the past Chen Ting and the current Li Minglu?"

"Your dedication to investigating the truth about the visitors’ backgrounds and working for their healing is commendable."

"But—don’t you think you’re going overboard?"

Weng Pinting took a deep breath, seemingly arranging her emotions and words.

Then she continued, "You’re currently dealing with a psychologist of national influence, and he was your mentor; in addition, there’s a psychiatrist working in a top domestic university-affiliated hospital."

"Have you considered the sheer power behind this?"

"You’re alone, having just experienced two life-shattering incidents. In such circumstances, instead of making any adjustments, you’re excessively passionate about Psychological Consultation and related matters at Jiangdu University, especially disregarding the apparent dangers that anyone else would see."

"Do you know what this behavior is called in psychology?"

Weng Pinting articulated slowly, "Repressed—Self-Destructive—Tendencies!"

"If we were to categorize it for case conceptualization," Weng Pinting added lightly, "it’s PTSD."

...

This time, Nan Zhubin truly fell into silence.

How to explain this...

Weng Pinting did objectively describe Nan Zhubin’s current behavior from a third-party perspective.

Objectively speaking...there were indeed no inaccuracies.

How should he explain it now?

For example, "I’ve done a complete set of scales on myself, and all the scores are fine."

Or "No, Sister Pingting, you need to give me a consultation right now to see how my mental health is?"

Both are odd.

The more he explained, the worse it got.

The former is like falling into the classic psychological joke of "how does a madman prove he’s not mad."

—Especially considering that he’s a psychology-related professional, proposing such behavior is even stranger.

As for the latter, Weng Pinting’s judgment was evidently based on a certain degree of ’consultative diagnosis.’

But the problem is, there’s a gap in information, which has led to Weng Pinting’s misjudgment.

Yet it’s also hard to explain.

...

Nan Zhubin thought for a moment.

At this point, the best response is actually no response.

An explanation is the most powerless ’explanation.’

In this situation, anything said or done will only deepen the other party’s preconceived notions.

All that can be said is "what’s done is done."

The best approach is actually to change the subject and then use behavior over a period of time to change the other party’s opinion.

If the change is thorough, perhaps you could gain something extra emotionally, like ’guilt’ or something similar.

So after he made up his mind, Nan Zhubin directly switched topics, "So, do the other people’s prescriptions have any issues?"

Weng Pinting was stunned.

Nan Zhubin glanced and nodded, "Issues—are there problems with excessive use of prescription drugs?"

Weng Pinting realized, her face turned red, this was anger.

And Nan Zhubin’s eyes widened.

This was repressed excitement.

"—Yes!"

"Indeed there is a problem, it’s just as I thought!"

Even though he had suspected it earlier, when his suspicion was finally validated, Nan Zhubin couldn’t help but feel a surge of emotions in his heart.

—Bang!

Weng Pinting slammed the table hard.

As mentioned earlier, using Micro-expression Analysis to probe into problems is really too intrusive.

But Weng Pinting stayed true to her strong professional ethics.

In just two deep breaths’ time, Nan Zhubin saw the redness on Weng Pinting’s face retreat like a tide.

Weng Pinting calmed herself and said slowly, "As I mentioned last time, don’t go to Jiangdu University anymore. You need to heed this."

"Afterward, I will have the human resources department at the center start monitoring attendance. Where you go after work is beyond my control, but during the day, you must stay in the center obediently."

For Weng Pinting, a counseling supervisor, this was her greatest "protection" for her subordinates.

The office went silent for a moment.

Perhaps seeing that Nan Zhubin did not respond for a long time, Weng Pinting sighed, trying to smooth the atmosphere:

"You are very talented, Zhuren. I have never seen anyone so young do consultations so well, not to mention your innate ability in Micro-expression Analysis."

"I’ve contacted a few... friends of mine, and they are very interested in you. I’ve revealed parts of your background to them, so you needn’t worry about them forming any opinions because of that ’incident.’

"You absolutely have the potential to reach Lin Lulin’s level in the future, or even surpass him. Later on, if you remember this matter, you can do anything you want—but not now."

At this point, Weng Pinting looked relieved yet slightly troubled:

"What you did last time at Liu Lin Psychological Clinic will definitely have consequences, but I haven’t heard any news from Lin Lulin and the others yet. This might be a good thing, you..."

Nan Zhubin remained silent, as if still processing the information.

It was at this moment.

Knock, knock, knock—

The knocking interrupted Weng Pinting’s words.

After the supervisor’s "come in," Lu Jia’s head popped in.

"Sister Pingting, someone is looking for Mr. Nan..."

Weng Pinting looked at Nan Zhubin.

Nan Zhubin frowned, "I don’t have any consultations today."

It meant no scheduled consultations. If it were an unscheduled one, Weng Pinting would have known.

Both of them looked towards Lu Jia.

But Lu Jia said, "They said they’re not visitors, they’re relatives of a visitor..."
