Repetition is a common technique used by psychological counselors. It not only allows for a clear confirmation of the process but also facilitates the acquisition of more information.
Jian Lexin: “I’m a bit confused about the question you just mentioned. I’d like to understand further when you first felt he was a bit strange.”
Doubt is rooted in facts, and trying to obtain information through a well-established mutual understanding can be an effective approach.
Through Jian Lexin’s methods, he successfully increased Gu Chen’s trust from 70% to 90%, treating him as someone he could believe in within his diary. At the same time, Jian Lexin got the information he sought.
[Hmm, when I first saw him, he seemed to be wearing a doctor’s uniform, but it didn’t quite fit. Is he really a doctor?] Gu Chen sighed, expressing his concerns to Jian Lexin while inviting him over to the Gu family residence.
Gu Chen glanced at the crumpled paper nearby, which wrapped some pills that had fallen onto the floor in the morning.
Jian Lexin: “It’s right to do this; the most important thing is to protect yourself. They might throw away your medication secretly.”
Jian Lexin’s breathing quickened as he quickly typed out a few lines.
Jian Lexin: “Actually, I’ve liked you since we were kids. After all, we’re quite compatible. We even promised to be together when we grow up. It’s Ye Qiu; he took you away while I was gone. Even your car accident that left you a vegetable was orchestrated by him; he was at the scene!”
The highest level of falsehood is when the lies are undeniably correct, making it difficult for one to find fault. Wasn’t Ye Qiu right there at the scene of the accident?
Gu Chen looked at the content on his phone, confused; why did he find no related content? Given his previous character, he would have definitely written it in his diary. Could Jian Lexin be deceiving him? And if so, what was Jian Lexin’s motive to lie?
Jian Lexin: “You must not believe what he says! Absolutely not!”
Jian Lexin: “Your priority now is to protect yourself and try to navigate around him. Do not let him discover that we are in contact; it could be dangerous.”
Of course, Gu Chen wouldn’t believe someone based on just a single account, but the undeniable facts before him forced him to question. Ye Qiu, who claimed to know him best, was the suspect who made him the way he is now.
And Jian Lexin, the person he previously trusted the most, could also be a potential traitor. Now, he could only hope that they had not come to a consensus and might maneuver around the situation.
He was the sole survivor.
His parents had long been ruthlessly killed by Ye Qiu!
After returning home, Ye Qiu heard from Uncle Gu that Gu Chen had been very resistant to taking medication today and was distressed about not being discovered. He did not expect that as soon as Gu Chen got his phone today, Ye Qiu had already received the news; even his conversation with Jian Lexin was under Ye Qiu’s control.
“Chen Chen, why didn’t you take your medicine today? Taking your medicine will help you recover faster,” Ye Qiu asked, looking at Gu Chen sitting at the dining table.
Gu Chen thought to himself that what was coming had finally arrived, frowning, “I don’t want to take the medicine; I don’t feel sick.”
“Moreover, didn’t the doctor say that regular check-ups are enough?”
Suppressing his reluctance, Gu Chen tried to act cute toward his nemesis, Ye Qiu.
Ye Qiu readily agreed; after all, this “medicine” was given to Gu Chen to help him regain his health, it wasn’t essential.
“If you let me…,”
Gu Chen didn’t expect Ye Qiu to agree so easily and was momentarily stunned.
After this, Uncle Gu indeed did not bring the medicine over again. Only Aunt Wang changed the recipe to brew him sweet soup every day.
Knowing that Gu Chen wanted to meet Jian Lexin, Ye Qiu subtly tested him several times, suggesting he go see an art exhibition or visit a museum, but Gu Chen stayed impenetrable, consistently using the excuse that his health hadn’t fully recovered and that he dared not go out.
With Ye Qiu intentionally allowing others to relax their watch over him, Gu Chen seized the opportunity to set up arrangements within the Gu residence.
For instance, one day, when Ye Qiu intended to do something in the office, he suddenly found an invisible camera added to his desk.
Ye Qiu: “……”
……
If he relied solely on saying a few ambiguous words over the internet, it would not break down a person’s defenses. Offering timely assistance is also a means of gaining trust.
However, knowing when to help is also an art. The darker the surroundings, the more dazzling the candlelight becomes. What he needed to do was appear at the moment people were disappointed in everyone else. If he had not experienced others’ ruthlessness, how could he demonstrate his thoughtfulness? For someone who had their inheritance taken away and had lost their memory, his help was invaluable.
Naturally, Jian Lexin would extend the only helping hand to Gu Chen, who was trapped in a predicament.
At the bottom of the Gu family building, Jian Lexin had a strained smile and was unable to get a visitation pass from the receptionist.
“I’m sorry, sir, you can’t go up without an appointment.”
“Sorry, if you know Mr. Ye, you can call his number…”
“Sorry, Mr. Ye’s schedule is not known to us low-level employees…”
Ha, these ignorant people, they simply do not understand his nobility. Jian Lexin turned and left, hearing the underestimation from the receptionist behind him.
“Peach Sister, how many people have come today wanting to see Mr. Ye? Mr. Ye’s charm is really great!”
“You don’t understand; they must be trying to take advantage of Mr. Gu’s illness to dig a wall. We must remain vigilant and guard the company gates tightly!”
“Peach Sister, you really know a lot.”
Upon hearing their words, Jian Lexin took a deep breath. He wouldn’t explain his reason for coming to these mundane people.
Ye Qiu believed he had learned about Jian Lexin wanting to see him, and then… it wouldn’t be that simple for them to meet. It was not his style to rush over only to be mocked, but if he happened to run into him while buying a small cake for his partner… that didn’t seem impossible. After all, people only believe what they want to believe.
Thus, at Gu Chen’s request, Ye Qiu willingly set aside his work and personally bought him a small cake that he might have been so upset about missing that it could have made him faint.
