Chapter 592: The Young Master Can Hear Inner Voices Again! 08

I mean no harm; as Fu Muci's friend, I ought to know who his current psychiatrist is.

Fei Yao placed his hands crossed on the table, slightly lifting his chin, a very standard posture of someone in a superior position.

In contrast, Jin Chen opposite him appeared relaxed, wearing only a simple shirt with no extra adornments.

Yet even so, he did not lose an inch.

Fei Yao also realized this; his scrutinizing gaze grew deeper and more inscrutable.

"If this gentleman is Young Master Fu's friend, he could go to the Fu residence to inquire about my treatment results, rather than tailing him on the road."

Jin Chen's warm eyes turned cold, completely unlike his demeanor at the Fu residence.

"Moreover, I have no obligation to disclose Young Master Fu's condition to so‑called friends."

He stressed the word 'friends' heavily, as if hinting at something.

Fei Yao's eyes flickered, though his face remained unchanged: "Doctor Jin, you don't need that attitude; I came to see you, and of course there is another matter."

He placed a document on the table and pushed it toward Jin Chen, his eyes showing interest.

"I am also a friend of your senior brother; I once heard him mention you. Given your talent and background, you should have better prospects."

"This is an invitation to a psychological research project; if you agree, the project lead will include your name."

This project enjoys international prestige and is a rare opportunity for many psychiatrists and researchers.

One might even gain fame overnight and secure a lifetime professorship at a foreign university.

But that applies only to other psychiatrists.

Jin Chen glanced at it a few times, then closed it indifferently, his expression unchanged.

"To be frank, I haven't had that idea in recent years, so Mr. Fei, you might as well state your request directly."

His gaze toward Fei Yao darkened, as if probing something: "Moreover, as Young Master Fu's friend, I thought you would be more willing to let me stay and treat him."

"His condition cannot be delayed."

Seeing that Jin Chen was unmoved, Fei Yao lost his earlier composure, and his whole face turned cold.

"I naturally have my own plans, Doctor Jin; no need for pleasantries. From the moment you entered this coffee shop, any recording equipment will be shielded."

0731, which was recording audio and video:?

It gave a heh.

Jin Chen raised his eyebrows knowingly: "So Mr. Fei doesn't want me to continue treating him; what is your purpose? Surely you aren't plotting with my influential senior brother to ruin the Fu family, are you?"

Although phrased as a question, the speaker showed no confusion, rather seeming to state this as a fact.

"What does that have to do with you being a psychiatrist?" Fei Yao, seeing that gentle persuasion failed, his expression turned harsh: "Since Doctor Jin is unwilling, don't blame me for being ruthless from now on."

"Since I can produce this project for you, I can naturally also make it impossible for you to find another good job."

He's quite sharp, not easily fooled by smooth talk.

Jin Chen let out a sigh tinged with regret, feigning helplessness: "My current task is simply to cure Young Master Fu; I don't want to meddle in anything else."

"If Mr. Fei has any more tricks, feel free to use them."

He hadn't taken a sip of coffee, tossed out that line, and left.

Fei Yao didn't have anyone stop him; he merely stared at the retreating back, his eyes obscure and unreadable.

"He who refuses a toast will be forced to drink a penalty."

He said coldly.

"Have Ren Jia Ming come see me."

"All right, Young Master."

——

Jin Chen hadn't expected Fei Yao to act so swiftly.

They had only broken off talks yesterday afternoon, and by this morning they had already arrived at the Fu residence.

When he arrived at the Fu residence on schedule, he noticed a car parked at the gate, clearly not belonging to anyone from the Fu family.

Only after entering did he learn it was Fei Yao and Ren Jia Ming.

Fu Zhenhua and Xu Li were also present.

Upon seeing him enter, the four of them displayed varied expressions.

"Junior brother, long time no see." Ren Jia Ming wore an expression of just‑right embarrassment, as if hiding something.

Jin Chen, calculating the days, realized they had met three days ago:?

He then glanced at Fu's parents, who seemed to be probing him, and nodded accordingly.

Instead, he wanted to see what trick the protagonist would try next.

"How did you come, senior brother?"

At least Ren Jia Ming found a conversational opening, and he immediately sounded a bit reproachful: "Jin Chen, I know you've been unemployed lately, but how could you, while I'm recuperating, privately alter Young Master Fu's psychiatric treatment plan?"

"I don't recall ever handing over Young Master Fu's treatment to you."

Fei Yao also chimed in, though his words were clearly directed at Xu Li.

"Yes, Aunt Xu, Ren Jia Ming suddenly called me today, saying all his case files on Muci had been deleted, and we never imagined this junior brother of his would be so bold."

At this moment Fei Yao appeared obedient and well‑behaved, utterly lacking the imposing aura he had yesterday afternoon.

After watching their performance, Jin Chen also figured out which trick they were playing.

Although they had only met briefly three days prior, Xu Li still held a favorable impression of this young man.

"Doctor Jin, what exactly is going on? Didn't you say it was because Doctor Ren was injured that you took over Muci's case?"

Jin Chen didn't rush to answer, glanced at his wristband time, then looked toward Aunt Song nearby: "Could you please send the fruit platter to Young Master Fu first?"

"Oh! Yes, yes."

Yesterday Jin Chen had said he would deliver the fruit platters from now on, but today he probably won't make it in time.

Aunt Song hurriedly left.

「Although I don't know why my senior brother went back on his word, fortunately I still have evidence。」

Jin Chen's brow showed a faint helplessness, and just the right amount of puzzlement.

He opened the tablet he had brought and showed its contents to Fu Zhenhua and Xu Li.

The signed document for transferring the case, and the responsibility transfer wording personally written by Ren Jia Ming.

Black and white, crystal clear.

「If my senior brother claims this isn't your handwriting, then the evidence is even stronger。」

Ren Jia Ming, who was just about to speak: 「……」

You've said all the nice words, right!

He really didn't expect that Jin Chen would also properly keep something so unimportant.

He even scanned out an electronic file!

But fortunately they still have another leverage.

Fei Yao's Eyeball twitched slightly as he rested his hand on Xu Li's shoulder. 「Aunt Xu, this matter has become such an eyesore; you two are both excellent psychologists—why not go upstairs and let Mu Ci decide? 」

「After all, they are also the ones who will treat him。」

Xu Li hadn't spoken yet, but Fu Zhenhua gave Fei Yao a doubtful look.

But given his position, he really couldn't speak up.

It's just friendship among juniors.

But Jin Chen caught that glance and intended to make good use of it.

「Mr. Fei seems to be quite worried about the young master today。」
