Chapter 185: Does Xiaoyun have a psychological problem?

A few days later.

Jin Min was drinking at the club when he suddenly received a message from... well, someone who was impossible to send him a message.

"Adrian: Where are you now?"

The moment he saw the name, the wine that had just slid into Jin Min's throat choked out.

“Puff—cough cough cough cough!!!”

Jin Min coughed awkwardly for a long time, staring at the communicator with a forehead full of question marks.

At the same time, Jin Min felt a faint sense of invisible pressure.

Could it be that the Fenrir family discovered that he was secretly making the Yun Fu Yu figurine?

Or a holographic projection companion system?

Could it be a life-size doll?!

...But that thing is released confidentially and in limited quantities. There's no way the Fenrir family would know about it, right?

Now that Yun Fuyu is the chief, Jin Min is preparing to choose a suitable time to make this matter clear to Yun Fuyu and establish formal cooperation.

After the legitimate cooperation, the lion's share of the profits will definitely go to Yun Fuyu, and Jin Min will only be a designer and salesperson...

Is the Fenrir family planning to forbid him from cooperating with Yun Fuyu?

As Jin Min thought about it, cold sweat began to flow from his forehead.

I'm afraid Adrian is going to come to the offline Mortal Kombat... The problem is, how can Jin Min, who is only B-level, beat Adrian?

If you want to resist and not be killed directly, you have to work hard.

Thinking of this, Jin Min stood up and walked out quickly.

The friend looked puzzled, but he was used to Jin Min's antics.

"What's going on?"

Jin Min's figure had long disappeared, and a voice came from afar:

"I'm going home for a while to get out of the spotlight—damn it!"

Jin Min's voice paused comically.

Ten seconds later, Jin Min returned the same way with cold sweat on his forehead, followed by Adrian who was escorting a prisoner.

......

Everyone else got out of here.

As soon as Adrian arrived, he sat in the middle of the booth, looking like he was the host, and his face looked very unhappy.

Jin Min, who was sitting opposite, was already sweating profusely.

Jin Min had the support of the Jin family and was not afraid of Adrian.

But at this moment, he felt extremely guilty, and his tone was involuntarily uncertain, and he said awkwardly:

"What brings you here?"

Adrian's brows revealed a gloomy irritation, and he suddenly said:

"You've read Yun Fuyu's palm before."

Jin Min never expected the topic to develop in this direction, and for a moment he thought he had misheard.

"ah?"

Adrian's face darkened. "What? You read Yun Fuyu's palm at the celebration party."

Jin Min finally remembered this matter and nodded reluctantly.

"......right."

Jin Min didn't even dare to ask "Is there any problem?", for fear that Adrian would throw the evidence of his secret production of Yun Fu Yu peripherals in front of him the next second.

Adrian: "You said that his health wasn't very good when he was young. He might have encountered some disasters in his twenties or thirties, perhaps even a life-threatening disaster."

Jin Min almost forgot about this matter, after all, he only mentioned it briefly at the time.

But Adrian remembered it clearly, not forgetting every word.

When he kicked Jin Min away, he actually had some intention of settling personal grudges.

Who made Jin Min speak so rudely?

Adrian repeated:

"You also said that if Yun Fuyu successfully survived the disaster, his future life would be smooth sailing. So how is he going to survive it?"

Jin Min slowly came to his senses.

Adrian didn't seem to be here to ask for punishment.

But—that’s getting even more ridiculous!

Jin Min scratched his hair in frustration:

"Brother, aren't you an atheist? I just said it casually, who knew you would take it seriously? Why did you suddenly start believing this?!"

Adrian had a fierce look on his face, his brows furrowed, his green eyes hidden in the shadows of his eye sockets, and he had no intention of joking.

"You think I don't know what you've been doing in private? If you know a solution, tell me now."

Jin Min: “???”

Adrian tutted his words and tapped his fingers on the table irritably, as if he was asking for his life.

"Don't waste time. Yun Fuyu is not in good health right now, and the doctors can't help. Do you have any solution? Tell me quickly, and I won't pursue anything else."

Jin Min didn't care that his past had been exposed, and collapsed:

"That's bullshit! Palmistry is just the lines on your palm. It depends on your environment and genetics!"

But Adrian obviously didn't believe it and kept increasing the offer, promising increasingly generous rewards.

"I want to hear the truth. If you resolve this matter, the mining rights to the energy star that the Jin family wants to acquire will belong to you."

Jin Min's pupils trembled. He didn't expect that he would be so rich and powerful right from the start.

The energy star that Adrian mentioned is a recently discovered mineral deposit. Several families in the Seven Towers are eyeing it covetously and all want to get a piece of the pie.

But Adrian actually promised it.

The meaning behind this promise is even more shocking than the mine itself - Adrian doesn't care how much it costs, as long as he achieves his goal.

If Jin Min and other representatives involved in the auction privately agreed to raise the price, Adrian would pay it.

Seeing that Jin Min didn't say anything, Adrian continued to increase the stakes.

"I can help the Jin family solve five tasks, regardless of level."

Jin Min took a deep breath, pinched his hand, and swallowed the words of agreement that were about to come out of his mouth.

"Ten times."

“…”

"The Fenrir family can grant you one request, any request."

Jin Min's whole body was stiff. He slowly sat up straight, silently took the bottle of wine on the table, and tried to drink to calm himself down.

As a result, he didn't hold the bottle firmly and it fell to the ground, clanging and rolling away, spilling the wine all over the floor.

Adrian never breaks his promise.

He said "agree to a request", and that was a request.

No matter whether the request was to help the Jin family clear out all the pirates on the trade route, to give all his personal property to the Jin family, or to have Adrian give up his position as the heir to the Fenrir family, he would do it all.

......Of course, Jin Min only dared to think about the last one.

Even if Adrian really did that, Jin Min would not dare to ask for this position.

But this is enough to prove that the conditions offered by Adrian are already priceless.

The cause of all this was that Jin Min teased Yun Fuyu at the celebration banquet and talked nonsense about the conclusions of palm reading.

Jin Min looked dazed and began to wonder if someone had put some hallucinogenic drugs in the wine he drank today, which led him to experience such an absurd scene.

If you were to ask which family in the Seven Towers is the most atheist, it would definitely be the Fenrir family.

And 99% of the disrespect for the World Tree and the Church within the Fenrir family came from Adrian alone.

During the Zong Family Incident, the Vatican did nothing and allowed the Zong Family to be divided up.

Adrian held a grudge and in the early years he would even bluntly call the Holy See a group of charlatans and liars. Even though he restrained himself a little later, he still had no good face towards the people of the Holy See.

Who could have imagined that the atheist Adrian would one day come to him specifically for his random fortune-telling and offer him such a generous reward that any noble would be stunned upon hearing it.

Who wouldn’t be tempted by money?

If he wasn't afraid of death, Jin Min would have agreed long ago.

...Of course, it wasn't just because he was afraid that Adrian would find out he was cheated and come back to settle the score with him.

There is another more important reason.

Jin Min's few remaining consciences overwhelmed his businessman instincts. He laboriously moved his eyes to the communicator and turned to Yun Fuyu's photo.

In the photo, Yun Fuyu is surrounded by the furry fans of the fan club, with a gentle smile on her face.

This matter is related to Yun Fuyu's safety.

A businessman's 0.001% conscience must be left to Yun Fuyu no matter what.

Jin Min closed his eyes tightly, blew a kiss to Yun Fuyu in his heart, and then said goodbye to the generous reward.

He struggled to squeeze out two words from between his teeth, his heart bleeding.

"no."

In order to prevent himself from regretting it half a minute later, Jin Min quickly laid out the truth in front of Adrian without leaving any room for maneuver.

"I'm not lying to you. The so-called palm reading is just something I came across while browsing ancient books. I only remembered half of it and used it to make Xiaoyun happy. Those words are completely clichés and cannot be trusted at all. They can't tell you anything."

Adrien was silent for a long time, then he exhaled heavily and leaned back on the sofa.

His only hope was blocked, and his whole body was filled with a strong sense of irritability and powerlessness.

Jin Min probed: "What happened to Xiaoyun? Although the medical academic output of Hengjin Tower is not as good as that of Yuangu Tower, if Xiaoyun needs it——"

Adrian still raised his head and raised his hand, and his mental power carried a bottle of wine and flew into his hand.

He was about to knock open the bottle when he suddenly remembered that he was still testing the medicine on Yun Fuyu.

Do not drink alcohol while taking the medicine, otherwise it will affect the efficacy of the medicine.

Adrian threw the bottle back in annoyance.

At this point, Adrian was desperate and had nothing to hide.

......

After listening to Yun Fuyu's symptoms, Jin Min looked serious. He looked up at Adrian and then looked away.

Adrian had a deadpan expression: "If you want to say something, say it quickly."

Jin Min: "What did the pastor say?"

Adrian shook his head: "There's no contamination on him."

It is certain that the symptoms of Yunfuyu are not caused by pollution.

Jin Min probed: "Has Xiaoyun seen a psychiatrist?"

Adrien slowly turned his head and looked at Jin Min, and didn't speak for a long time.

This made Jin Min feel uneasy.

Just when Jin Min couldn't help but say "I'm just talking nonsense, so forget it if you can't ask", Adrian replied in a low voice:

"No. Why do you ask?"

Jin Min: "Because the symptoms are similar. Insomnia, continuous nightmares, fear of sleep, waking up in the middle of dreams, don't these all seem like psychological problems? And you said Xiaoyun's physical examination showed no abnormalities, so we can only consider it a psychological problem."

But Jin Min was also wondering, what psychological problems did Yun Fuyu have?

Those who had bullied Yun Fuyu had long been beaten into submission by him.

What's more, it is almost impossible for people with friendly psychics to have psychological problems, and soothing the spiritual realm is their innate talent.

Chief Yun, who is gifted and powerful, couldn't have just realized the pressure belatedly, right?

This doesn't make sense.

Jin Min guessed dutifully.

"Although metaphysics is false, it does have some scientific basis. Xiaoyun, is there anything you're afraid of? For example, if there's a portrait hanging in the bedroom, or a mirror near the bed, you might get scared if you wake up in the middle of the night..."

Jin Min listed them one by one, not noticing Adrien's silence.

Adrian said nothing, staring at his hands in a daze.

Yun Fu Yu...something you're afraid of?

Jin Min concluded, "Why don't we try to keep him away from the things he's afraid of?"

*

On the other side of the communication projection was Zhaohui's disgusting face.

Zhaohui asked with a polite smile on his face:

"How have you considered the proposal I made half a month ago? It's about time Xiaoyun moved in with me."

Adrien's jaw was set, his expression dark.

Through the projection, Zhaohui's golden hair and eyes were as bright and handsome as the sun god, but his cold and mocking eyes were like those of a demon, without concealing his true nature at all.

"Ah... I understand. You haven't told Xiaoyun about this yet. You're going to do something to hurt him again, against his will, for your own selfish desires."

Adrian's eyes were filled with murderous intent.

"Shut up."

Zhaohui remained calm, and his fake smile deepened.

If the sound of the communication was turned off, bystanders might think that Zhaohui was happily greeting an old friend.

But in reality, the words that came out of his thin lips were like a poisonous snake spewing venom.

"Xiaoyun wants to move in with his friends, why don't you let him go?"

"Xiao Yun hates you. He had nightmares because of you. He has experienced too many unpleasant things in the Fenrir family's territory, and you still want to force him to stay in an unsafe place."

"Who wants to live next door to someone you hate? I'm afraid Xiaoyun won't be able to fully relax even when she's resting."

"Of course Xiaoyun has nightmares. Isn't it because of you that he has nightmares?"

Adrian's green eyes were as cold as the tundra under a thousand miles of ice, and the temperature was sharp enough to freeze people.

But when the spring breeze blows again, the tundra will find it difficult to revive.

Zhaohui watched the enemy coldly, without any fear in his eyes.

This is the critical moment that determines whether Yun Fu Yu can be obtained. The enemy's heart must be thoroughly penetrated and killed with one blow.

The Black Wolf and the Golden Crow are two completely opposite creatures.

The snow on the Yuangu Pagoda never melts, and the Zhuri Pagoda is always bathed in the scorching sun.

The difference between the two is like darkness and light, extreme cold and warmth, bitter loneliness and bustle.

All soft creatures prefer the latter to the former.

Yun Fuyu would not choose Adrian.

Chaohui didn't care at all, maintaining a polite smile, and tore off all disguises.

"You were the one who posted that forum post. How...stupid and arrogant. Have you ever thought about why Xiaoyun never refuses my kiss but would refuse yours?"

"Because he hates you and doesn't want to see you."

"Xiaoyun never had a nightmare when she lived in the Sun Chaser Guildhall. How do you take care of people?"

Once Adrian goes to ask Yun Fuyu in person, Zhaohui's plan will be easily exposed.

But Zhaohui was not worried at all, he was sure that Adrian would not do that.

In terms of understanding people's hearts, even if Adrian is given another ten years, he will not be able to compare with a politician like Zhaohui who is cautious in his actions.

Because of this, Adrian's weaknesses are clearly visible.

——He was afraid that what Zhaohui said was true.

He was afraid that Yun Fuyu was really having nightmares because of his proximity.

If that's really the case... once Adrian asks, there will be no room for self-deception.

Zhaohui calmly watched the caged beast, occasionally attacking all hidden wounds with precision.

What really distinguishes humans from other creatures is their thinking, not their fighting ability.

So, Adrian was going to lose.

Zhaohui smiled and said:

"The Sun Chaser Tower has a mild climate, with perfect sunlight and temperature. There are countless resorts and sanatoriums, and many therapists come here to heal their bodies and minds. I'm sure Xiaoyun will like it too."

Adrian frowned and unilaterally cut off the communication.

Zhaohui didn't care about it at all.

After all, the winners always have to be tolerant of the losers.

Although Adrien didn't say anything, he would agree.

Yun Fuyu will definitely come to the Sun Chaser Tower.

When it was time to close the loop on the Chao family's affairs, Chao Hui asked Yun Fuyu to come and help, and Yun Fuyu would certainly not refuse.

Therefore, Chaohui will set off today to return to the main island of the military academy to pick up Yun Fuyu.

Chaohui maintained a confident smile, stood up, and prepared to go and see in person the new room belonging to Yun Fuyu in the Chao family's mansion.

Losing to him would only be the beginning of Adrian's downfall.

From now on, Adrian will only lose more times until he completely loses Yun Fuyu.
