Who would study psychology unless they had some issues?!-Chapter 175 - 173: Throw a punch first, and while punching, ask the questions that need to be asked... Already finished asking? Then never mind.

Chapter 175: Chapter 173: Throw a punch first, and while punching, ask the questions that need to be asked... Already finished asking? Then never mind.

During the confrontation with Liu Pan, Nan Zhubin was constantly distracted by Huang Xin.

He had learned from the previous mistake of "ignoring Liu Pan," and was on guard against any key information from Huang Xin that might be overlooked.

As it turned out, there really was—

First, when Liu Pan mentioned giving Nan Zhubin job and study opportunities, Huang Xin seemed a bit uncomfortable.

Secondly, when Liu Pan expressed disdain for Chen Jie’s death, Huang Xin showed—disgust.

For the former, it appeared Huang Xin was uncomfortable with how easily opportunities were afforded to Nan Zhubin, and how easily Liu Pan could offer them.

For the latter, it was an ethically driven expression of his stance.

With both emotions manifesting, they blended into a kind of [anger].

Importantly, this anger wasn’t just directed at Nan Zhubin, it included Liu Pan too!

This was very interesting.

And also very opportune.

So Nan Zhubin directly pointed out this emotional point—

"You don’t agree with Junior Brother Liu’s attitude, right? Senior Brother Huang?"

...

Confronted by Nan Zhubin’s words, Huang Xin opened his mouth but didn’t reply.

Complex emotions surged within him briefly before subsiding into a nearly laid-back demeanor again.

Nan Zhubin took a moment to ponder the situation.

To be honest, his own emotions were quite complex now.

He came today with many questions for Huang Xin and Liu Pan, yet only a few were answered—Lin Lulin was indeed altering clinic records, and those records were hidden somewhere in Lin Lulin’s office, likely stored together with the ledgers.

Other than that, he gained nothing.

His mood wasn’t good, not only because of the lack of answers but also because he was genuinely stirred emotionally.

Should he do something? Even something minor?

As Nan Zhubin hesitated briefly, Liu Pan began to speak unwittingly again.

He was actually responding to what Nan Zhubin had just said:

"Senior Brother Huang is professionally trained, just like you, Senior Brother Nan, so he might have some unnecessary persistence. But once you truly engage with patients, those persistences will disappear..."

"Senior Brother Nan, you should really reconsider my proposal. Chen Jie’s issue is easily resolved. I heard his parents even came to see you? These things can be handled..."

[Handled.]

Nan Zhubin muttered these words. He suddenly looked at the recorder in his hand, then surveyed the laboratory.

"Senior Brother Huang." Nan Zhubin asked abruptly, "I remember that the psychology lab doesn’t have surveillance installed to protect subjects’ privacy, right?"

Huang Xin was taken aback, replying unconsciously: "Right."

Nan Zhubin pointed at Liu Pan to Huang Xin: "You want to hit him, right?"

After speaking, without waiting for Huang Xin’s reply, Nan Zhubin turned his head and said straightforwardly to Liu Pan: "I want to hit you too."

Liu Pan was stunned, instinctively wanting to laugh, as it was one of his aims; but upon seeing the recorder in Nan Zhubin’s hand, panic quickly appeared in his eyes.

"But thoughts driven by anger, if translated into violence, merely serve as an emotional outlet. I’ve always believed that venting emotions when faced with issues is the least meaningful behavior because it doesn’t solve the problem."

Nan Zhubin shook his head: "After all, any action exists to achieve a certain goal, right?"

Liu Pan nodded repeatedly, showing a slight relief.

His behavior and thoughts were entirely led by Nan Zhubin.

Nan Zhubin maintained a calm expression, silently activating a switch in his mind.

[Emotion Rebalancing]

A slight fatigue, followed by a soothing emotion, and a return to calm thinking.

Two breaths later, Nan Zhubin looked at Liu Pan with a complex expression: "I still want to hit you."

Liu Pan was startled.

Before he could react, Nan Zhubin’s right hand turned into a black shadow once more. This time, it moved faster, with more force, and the hand was clenched into a fist.

—Bang!

"Nan Zhubin!"

Huang Xin jumped up, but the next second was frozen in place by Nan Zhubin’s gaze.

Liu Pan’s head snapped backward, then his whole body swayed drunkenly backward, "thud" he collapsed to the ground.

Covering his face.

Whether it was due to being repeatedly outmaneuvered by Nan Zhubin and losing the will to resist in every sense, or because Liu Pan’s personality was such—despite Nan Zhubin’s punch not being heavy, Liu Pan lay on the ground refusing to get up, covering his face like an ostrich, shivering.

Was this a psychological regression?

Nan Zhubin shook his head: "With psychological resilience and ethics like that, I can only say it’s a good thing you don’t study well, no chance of becoming a doctor."

"Of course, now I absolutely won’t give you any chance to become a Psychological Consultant. I will definitely take down Lin Lulin, and your psychology clinic."

With that punch, Nan Zhubin didn’t continue.

He turned to look at Huang Xin, who was clearly uneasy due to the punch. frёewebηovel.cѳm

Nan Zhubin said something unexpected: "You can see this as a gift."

Huang Xin blinked. A gift, you mean you punched him for me?

Nan Zhubin continued: "You can tell Lin Lulin what happened today, that I punched Liu Pan. This way, I’ve made a scene here, and part of the information you revealed under my threat can be said to have been shared today."

"After all, helping a partner’s son avoid harm and revealing some information is a more legitimate reason, right?"

Huang Xin’s eyes suddenly widened, with this, he wouldn’t have to worry daily, wouldn’t fear being found out by the teacher for revealing secrets to Nan Zhubin.

"As for Liu Pan, he probably doesn’t want his dad knowing he embarrassed himself this time, so he’ll likely align his story with yours."

Huang Xin glanced at the ostrich-like Liu Pan, silent for a moment.

"Why are you doing this?" he suddenly asked.

Nan Zhubin shook his hand, answering as if it were obvious: "For peace of mind."

"...?"

Nan Zhubin, speaking while heading to the door: "I’m someone with a strong sense of ethics, and what that guy just said has already tainted my mental purity. If I don’t throw this punch, I’d feel my spirit has been sullied, and when facing similar situations in the future, I’d hesitate as I did now; even later when investigating Lin Lulin, I wouldn’t be as resolute as I am now."

Nan Zhubin affirmed: "I hit him to maintain my purity, to align my actions with my beliefs."

Completely dodging the question.

But Huang Xin no longer had the chance to ask further, as having finished his words, Nan Zhubin left the laboratory for good.

Huang Xin was silent.

After a long while, he slowly went forward to help Liu Pan up from the floor.

"Junior Brother, clean yourself up. The next subject is coming soon, and we still have to gather data and write papers."

This is how it is for graduate students, no matter what happens, they still have to continue experiments and write papers.

Mental adjustments must be quick.

Liu Pan looked up, still young, showing Huang Xin a disbelieving expression.

But Huang Xin, looking down for a moment, spoke slowly to Liu Pan: "Junior Brother, regarding the Li Minglu case, what did you do? Can you tell me about it?"
