My Life with Narration

Chapter 446 - 438: So Should I Leave?

This is outrageous, two seasoned detectives nearing eighty got outsmarted by a young man, making old Zhao and Lin Chengcai feel quite embarrassed.

Who would have thought a young guy in his early twenties could mentally break down the psychological counselor at the police station?

They initially thought, at most, it would result in a failed psychological intervention. Lin Chengcai pondered a bit deeper and considered that it might adversely affect Wang Gang, but he never expected this outcome.

Right now, that big guy is still crying in the office, and because they’re unclear on what Su Qing did to him, or to what extent he’s dismantled Wang Gang’s psyche, even though there are several colleagues comforting him over at the counseling room, they’re worried something might go wrong.

Just as the two were criticizing Su Qing, the office door swung open. In walked Li Zijun, looking fresh and spirited in her long-sleeved uniform, with a smile on her face. She immediately greeted:

"Whoa, what’s happening here, Master? Why is Brother Wang crying so hard, pounding his chest? I heard he was doing psychological intervention and got himself into it, is that true? Is this the so-called talk therapy, abbreviated as ’chit-chat therapy’?"

The moment she finished speaking, the three people in the office stared blankly at her. Su Qing had a wry smile, and both old Zhao and Lin Chengcai wore expressions of helplessness mingled with irritation.

"Uh... it wasn’t the talk therapy that did this, was it?" Li Zijun asked in disbelief upon realizing the situation.

"Of course, it’s him! Xiao Li, didn’t you say the other day he might have been scared? You also said he might have been quite rattled. Does he look like someone who got scared now? He gave Xiao Wang quite a scare!" Zhao Minghui exclaimed.

Lin Chengcai shook his head incessantly. As someone versed in psychological dynamics, he naturally understood more than the layman, old Zhao, and could likely guess the methods Su Qing used.

Although he couldn’t manage it himself, judging by Su Qing’s past capabilities, it certainly wasn’t hard for him.

"Alas, it was supposed to be psychological intervention, and now look — the doctor has gone nuts! Xiao Su, should I praise your skills or criticize your recklessness?"

Hearing this, Li Zijun was drenched in sweat. What kind of bizarre situation was this? The patient goes to see a psychologist and ends up fine, while the doctor goes crazy. Glancing at Su Qing sitting upright, she couldn’t help but twitch her eye and asked in a serious tone, "Explain, what happened?"

Upon hearing this, Su Qing instinctively shivered slightly, then awkwardly said, "Wasn’t it Zhao insisted I do the psychological intervention? I said I was fine, but he didn’t believe me, so I went. Then as I was talking, just, not just Gangzi — Brother Gang felt he was under a lot of pressure, and couldn’t control it. Can you blame me? Blame this restless world!"

All three: ...

Listen to this cheekiness, even Li Zijun wanted to give him a good whack.

Seeing him soaking wet and looking disheartened that day, she thought Su Qing had really been dealt a heavy blow and would be discouraged, but now he appears in good spirits and can even drive a doctor insane.

"Um... should I go comfort Brother Gang again?" Su Qing inquired.

To this, old Zhao quickly stopped him: "Please don’t, I’m begging you. In the future, just keep quiet. You’ve already comforted him to this state, any more and you might comfort him into resignation!"

"Exactly, just spare it. Try not to show up in Xiao Wang’s presence from now on!" Lin Chengcai also chimed in.

Su Qing: ...

"Should I leave then?"

No choice, he already felt unwanted here, better seize the opportunity and slip back. After all, with the millions at stake every day, he really didn’t want to come here.

"Wishful thinking! Xiao Li, you and Xiao Su can share a task. After all, he’s our bureau’s investigation consultant. If he’s not sick, he should be working!"

"Understood, Master!"

Upon hearing this, Su Qing was taken aback: "Didn’t you say our criminal investigation division is not busy lately? So why do I have to work?"

"Who said it wasn’t busy? Just no big cases, but plenty of small ones. Now go, go, just seeing you annoys me!" Old Zhao said, shooing them out.

Soon, the two were walking side by side in the first-floor hall.

"How did you get Brother Wang to that state, crying like that?" Li Zijun rolled her eyes at him and snapped.

Hearing this, Su Qing rubbed his nose, a bit helpless: "I didn’t expect him to have such pent-up pressure. Had I known his mental defense was so fragile, I would’ve been less aggressive!"

Facing Li Zijun, he naturally didn’t bother to conceal, admitting it was his mischief.

To this, Li Zijun couldn’t help but glare at him, then said, "You clearly have the ability, but you never use it properly. By the way, is everything okay about that day? You seemed in a bad mood, and you haven’t contacted me recently. I thought you got scared. I mentioned it to Zhao, next thing, he was all concerned!"

"It’s all fine now. The person is gone, so there’s no bringing them back, but yes, I was indeed scared. Took advantage of the recent holiday to get away for some relaxation!"

"Relaxation? Took your boss and another beauty to the countryside? You sure know how to enjoy yourself!" Li Zijun suddenly piped up.

Hearing this, Su Qing paused, then awkwardly asked, "Sister Jun, you saw that too?"

"Do I even need to mention it? Your video went so viral, Mumu made several calls saying you took your company boss out to the countryside, who’s the other one? Makes me wonder what kind of ’support’ you’re really getting!" Li Zijun chuckled lightly.

The video was indeed viral, luckily the woman in it wasn’t just Shen Yi, otherwise, Li Zijun would have begun her grilling already.

"I was just driving, and there was another person too, just didn’t show up on camera, by Zao Slope, for some down time!"

"Taking some time out is good. I heard Zhang Heng is going to appeal for a reprieve; not sure if that’s good news. Ah~~"

She was also on the scene that day, although she didn’t witness the crash, she could imagine the impact it must have had on Su Qing.

While they were speaking, Du Qiang walked out, upon seeing him, Li Zijun quickly asked: "How’s Brother Wang? Still crying?"

"He’s a lot better, but keeps saying he wants to leave Langlang Mountain."

Hearing this, Li Zijun gave him another glare, all Su Qing could do was chuckle awkwardly. He didn’t anticipate that the emo literature would have such a strong effect.

If he actually convinced a policeman to resign, now that would’ve been a real crime.

"Well, let me go and persuade him, tell him not to overthink, stay with big Wang and aim for a promotion and a raise soon, that’s the real deal."

"Oh, give it a rest, now you’re here? Where were you earlier? Get ready; I’m taking you on an arrest assignment soon!" Li Zijun spoke in a bad mood.

Hearing this, Su Qing immediately got excited: "Arrest assignment? Really, do I get a gun?"

No man can resist such temptation, and Su Qing was no exception. Police catching bad guys, the mere thought was thrilling. He never expected, as a consultant, this kind of opportunity would come his way.

Du Qiang also paused: "Arrest assignment? Taking him? Isn’t that inappropriate? He’s just a consultant; if any danger arises, we..."

"We’re capturing a prostitution den, what danger could there be? Besides, it’s not just the three of us, and as for a gun, dream on. Even if we had one, it wouldn’t include you!" Li Zijun cut him off before he could finish.

After all, dangerous missions wouldn’t involve him, and even if they did, it would likely just be to gain some experience from the back, not actually letting him make any arrests. Given Su Qing’s combat ability, it would be a miracle if he wasn’t the one getting captured!

Su Qing: ...

Alright then, turns out he read too much into it. He initially thought it was some grand mission but ended up being something like this.

"I see, then it’s fine. Susu, just follow along, and I’ll show you some eye-opening experiences!"

Su Qing: →_→

"Who do you think you’re looking down on? Treating me like a newbie?"
