Who would study psychology unless they had some issues?!
Chapter 451 - 444: Crying

Chapter 451: Chapter 444: Crying

The elderly woman at this moment, her posture was more akin to bowing.

Similar to a certain—uh, kind of position one might see in a TV show, where they shout "Great Judge" and then crawl towards someone high above.

Xia Tian and the other’s faces turned green instantaneously.

They leaped up as if electrified and reached out to grab the old woman’s arm.

However, they didn’t dare use too much force, fearing they’d accidentally break something on the old woman’s fragile body.

In this situation, though obviously two people were supporting her, it ended up allowing the elderly woman to actually kneel down, bit by bit.

Only to hear a cry ringing out in the next moment: "Leader! I have finally been able to await your arrival today!"

...

Nan Zhubin now understood why Xia Tian’s expression looked so bitter when she brought this up the other day.

The Psychological Consultation room, despite its diversity in human phenomena,

This current scenario, Nan Zhubin hadn’t truly encountered before.

In this instant, even he was momentarily dazed.

As for the direct target of "bowing," Chief Judge Meng.

If Xia Tian was like being electrified,

Then he now was akin to being placed over an oil pot, the originally thin layer of sweat on his forehead quickly turning into a continuous flow like a spring.

Yet, he still managed to maintain a calm demeanor, his voice steady: "Auntie, please stand up first. Let’s talk things over properly, alright?"

As he spoke, Chief Judge Meng discreetly tugged at his leg, his pant leg was already grasped tightly, five dry, skinny fingers clutching the thin fabric like the roots of an aged tree.

Looking at that hand resembling a chicken claw wrapped in human skin, Chief Judge Meng dared not exert any force.

The security at the door finally reacted at this point, rushed forward, but none quite dared to touch the over eighty-year-old lady. However, they were well-trained; one immediately ran inside to report the situation, while the other began circling to maintain order on the scene.

"Disperse, disperse, nothing to see here... No photos, put your phones away!"

But this voice quickly got drowned out.

"—Leader!"

Sweat continued to pour from Chief Judge Meng’s forehead.

Mo Kai ran back after parking, utterly baffled—how did the scene turn out like this?

He couldn’t help but look towards his two seniors, what to do now?

And Nan Zhubin—

[Emotion Rebalancing]

[Flow State]

His gaze instantly turned clear, then swept across the surrounding situation.

Very well, given the special nature of their location, the onlookers weren’t excessively "crowd," maintaining basic order at this moment.

So now it was only necessary to soothe the elderly woman.

"Senior brother." Nan Zhubin elbowed Chonghui fiercely.

The large man also seemed to have reacted by now.

Their gazes quickly exchanged briefly, then regardless of whether the other understood the meaning in his eyes, they directly proceeded to act separately.

Nan Zhubin crouched down first; he needed to complete the first step.

While everyone else was fearing accidentally hurting the elderly lady, Nan Zhubin openly half-embraced her, his left hand holding her left elbow, right arm crossing her entire back, pressing his right hand against the five fingers she used to grip Chief Judge Meng.

He tried using some force—immovable.

"Auntie." Nan Zhubin tried to make his voice as soft and gentle as possible, yet still strong, "Don’t hurry, the leader is here, we can talk things through inside, alright? We..."

"Leader! Our child is truly wronged! I come every day wanting to find the leader, but every day I can’t find him, and today I’ve finally found him—"

Nan Zhubin’s words were interrupted abruptly.

His emotion soothing had no effect at all.

He frowned slightly, looking at the elderly woman lying on the ground.

Because she hung her head down, no expression could be seen.

His gaze lifted, looking at the hand gripping Chief Judge Meng’s pant leg, still unmoved.

The emotion hadn’t been soothed?

Was it because the emotional peak of the elderly was too high? Or... was the emotion inherently calm?

Nan Zhubin immediately changed strategy.

Alright, since "don’t hurry" doesn’t work, let’s make you "even more hurried"!

This time, Nan Zhubin took several deep breaths, adjusted his mindset proactively, started to feel the atmosphere around him, listened to the complex sounds, making his mood also become anxious.

Meanwhile, Nan Zhubin began recalling scenes of anxiety from his memory, thinking of those faces that would instinctively make him lose his calm mindset.

And then—

"Auntie, the leader knows about your issue. You see, I’m an outside expert, being invited here today specifically to solve your problem."

"If you don’t go inside now, the issue can’t be resolved. In a while, when others crowd around, we’ll have to deal with them, making it even harder to solve your problem, don’t you agree?"

His voice rushed into the water like a large slab of dry ice, quickly diffusing mist, constantly penetrating every corner around.

The next second, Nan Zhubin felt something grasping his hand.

"This youngster, are you serious?"

Nan Zhubin’s vision was suddenly filled with a gaunt face.

It was the elderly woman, even after crying this whole time, not a single drop of tear appeared on her face.

Swish—

At the same time, Chonghui quickly squeezed between the elderly woman and Chief Judge Meng, with force so great that Chief Judge Meng couldn’t help but retreat a step.

"Meng Ting, you go inside first; leave this to us." Chonghui said softly.

Chief Judge Meng blinked, instinctively rejecting: "No, if I leave now, things will be even harder to settle, plus afterwards..."

"You can go inside and wait for the elderly lady." Chonghui interrupted gently, "If you’re here, her emotions can’t be soothed."

Chonghui didn’t understand all the nuances of Chief Judge Meng’s work, but he knew how to handle such highly directed emotional outbursts.

Based on Xia Tian’s group reaction, today was the first time the elderly lady caused such a big stir.

This means, the usual expression of her emotions wasn’t like this.

Therefore, as long as the emotional target—Chief Judge Meng—was moved away.

No matter how sharp her emotions would be next, she’d only be disoriented searching in vain.

Even if this emotion were transferred to someone else, it would weaken significantly.

Leave it to the junior to handle.

After a brief explanation, Chief Judge Meng, being decisive, took a meaningful glance at Chonghui, then turned and walked away.

By the time the elderly lady reacted and turned around, her line of sight only showed Chonghui’s tall figure occupying the entire view, preventing her from finding Chief Judge Meng through his tightly blocked shoulders, arms, and thighs no matter how she craned her neck.

Such a sight made Nan Zhubin’s eyes slightly squint.

"Auntie."

Nan Zhubin’s voice was quick and urgent: "The leader is waiting for us inside; the leader is very busy. If we want things to be resolved quickly, we need to go in promptly."

The next second, he felt the hand gripping his arm tighten.

"Alright then... Junior leader, you have to keep your word!"

The elderly woman clutched Nan Zhubin’s arm with one hand, her other hand quivering as it stood upright right before Nan Zhubin’s face, fingers almost touching his nose.

Nan Zhubin nodded: "Of course, Auntie, today we must resolve the issue."
