Chapter 380 - 379: Since When Did She Become So Thin-Skinned?
Chapter 380 - 379: Since When Did She Become So Thin-Skinned?
Song Yi stared at a set of data on the paper, her hand unconsciously tightened around it.
She pressed her lips together, lifted her eyebrows, and fixed her gaze on Gu Chu, expressing suspicion, but said nothing.
Ningxia Chuan clearly said Tang Si had issues, but Gu Chu, a professional psychologist, detected nothing abnormal.
Is it really as Ningxia Chuan suggested, that Tang Si’s psychological defenses are too high to detect, or did Ningxia Chuan lie, or perhaps Gu Chu is not that professional?
Gu Chu looked at the suspicious gaze from Song Yi, lowered his head and chuckled, then raised his head, "What? Do you think I falsified the data?"
Song Yi, hearing this, tucked the report away and smiled, "Not at all, Dr. Gu Chu must be professional."
"However, this sort of testing, it shouldn’t yield results on the first try, right?"
Song Yi spoke, leaving room for both sides.
Gu Chu: "Yes, if there’s time, we could do it a few more times."
While speaking, she glanced at Tang Si, "But I’m not sure if Officer Tang is willing."
Tang Si, with both hands in his pockets, smiled indifferently, "That depends on whether Dr. Gu Chu thinks it’s necessary for me to come a few more times."
Gu Chu tossed the topic to Tang Si, and he effortlessly tossed it back.
It’s truly difficult to get any information out of him, as she had already realized during the earlier conversation.
Being a cop, his psychological countermechanisms and defenses are higher than ordinary people, and Tang Si is especially discreet, so it’s quite tough for Gu Chu to extract anything from him.
Talking to him was not to her advantage either.
If she answered that it’s necessary to come a few more times, it would clearly mean she thinks he has issues and needs continued observation.
Yet her report stated no issues; if she answered that way, wouldn’t it be contradicting herself?
Gu Chu smiled at Song Yi at this point, "It’s like this, Miss Song might have felt you need multiple check-ups, you two should discuss it well, we doctors just provide some suggestions."
She had a faint smile on her face, and there was nothing wrong with what she said, once again tossing the topic back to Song Yi.
Whoever looks like a pushover, naturally gets pushed around.
But Song Yi is not some pushover or easy target.
Holding the report in her hand, she shrugged, somewhat nonchalantly joked, "Doctors saying it’s up to patients to decide what to do, then what’s the doctor for?"
"What’s the point of today’s test then? If I knew this, why would I bring him to see a doctor? Dr. Gu Chu, please stop joking and give a definite answer."
Her face wore a gentle, charming smile, without any sharpness, but her words carried barbs.
Gu Chu furrowed her brow, suddenly finding the woman before her somewhat familiar, in terms of aura, vaguely exuding a familiar vibe.
After Song Yi finished speaking with elegant words, her mind was still a whirlwind of thoughts.
If Tang Si remained on high alert, unwilling to disclose his issues and refused treatment, and the diagnosis appeared normal, what way should she use to persuade him?
Be straightforward? If so, their relationship might turn stiff, as Tang Si is the type of person, somewhat insecure but also quite proud. She couldn’t speak so bluntly.
Though she had sought the authoritative Gu Chu, finding no issues left Song Yi somewhat frustrated and troubled.
Unconsciously, she lifted her head to look at Tang Si.
As she looked up, she discovered that the man’s gaze had always been fixed on her, deep, gentle, and with a warm, faint smile.
Song Yi felt a sudden jolt in her heart, unsure why she averted her gaze.
Clearly, she was doing something for his benefit, so why did she constantly feel she was doing something morally wrong?
Song Yi gently touched her own face with the back of her hand, thinking to herself: When did my skin become so thin? This won’t do.
She exhaled, turning her gaze back to Gu Chu, wanting an answer from her.
Gu Chu: "At present, there doesn’t seem to be any problems. If a deep investigation is needed, that’s at a different cost, as it requires medication, and I’m not prepared today, we can schedule it for another time."
Song Yi licked her lips, pondering how to get Tang Si to come for another session.
Tang Si looked at her expression, both anxious and worried, his lips curled into a smile, speaking gently, "If I have a break and time, I can come over."
Upon hearing this, Song Yi, who was having trouble, quickly looked up at him, apparently not expecting Tang Si to be so cooperative.
Makes her doubt whether he really has no issues?
Possibly, Gu Chu’s report was indeed genuine, was Ningxia Chuan perhaps mistaken?
Tang Si’s performance was too steady.
Calm and collected, as if he had everything under control, planning for every contingency.
Song Yi said nothing further regarding this.
...
Rain was gradually getting heavier, and the two were eager to get back.
As she left, Song Yi glanced at Gu Chu, "If there’s time, we could have a meal together."
"Sure."
...
It was Tang Si driving on the way down the mountain.
Song Yi held her phone, checking in with her PR team about online matters.
She wasn’t sure if Tang Si had seen those things online.
Hopefully, he hadn’t seen it, the words online were too harsh.
She could almost confirm the video was released by Liu Qiang, with the source being Gu Nanjiu.
Because when she went to see Gu Nanjiu, Liu Qiang was also present, and Gu Nanjiu clearly told her rather than seeking him out to challenge Song Nuan, she should be concerned about Tang Si.
Soon after, the online content was exposed.
Though it had been cleaned up, there were still some who would talk online, like bamboo shoots after the rain, endlessly emerging.
——[President Song, this isn’t very effective, it requires a useful explanation.]
Song Yi: [Haven’t the officials responded?]
——[No.]
——[For such matters, they must be reconsidering repeatedly, because the source of this video is indeed real, but we don’t know the underlying reasons, the police are likely still investigating.]
Song Yi: [What are they reconsidering? Do they not even have this bit of trust?]
She couldn’t blame Tang Si for not wanting to trust anyone, unwilling to ask for help from anyone.
Song Yi ground her teeth, she needed to give him a glimmer of hope for seeking help!
It’s all this troublesome stuff around them that created this self-reliant personality in him, making her understand where Tang Si’s inherent aloofness and indifference came from.
It was accumulated from bits of disappointment.
Song Yi: [I’m posting a Weibo, get it trending.]
——[Alright, President Song.]
Song Yi logged onto Weibo.
Published a Weibo post.
Song Yi V: Those you’re attacking are their pride, talents dedicated to the nation. He saved so many people, yet is defeated by widespread gossip because of a video? @PoliceDepartmentOfficial
