Seeing this, he simply blinked and released his grip on the master's collar.

In that instant, the mental energy that had suddenly attacked her mind abruptly dissipated, and then backfired on the master. The master screamed and rolled on the ground, clutching his head.

Xie Li was a little confused: "No, you've tried to hypnotize me so many times and it didn't work. You should have known to stop. You still dare to play the 'mutual destruction' trick?"

She kept the master in check because she knew he was quite capable and was afraid he would continue to hypnotize others.

So this person is so overconfident, is he a fool?

The master was certainly not stupid; she just hadn't expected Xie Li to have such great abilities.

The backlash caused the master's head to throb with a dull pain. "You actually know hypnosis? Why? How could a country girl like you know hypnosis?"

She was going crazy. Her hypnosis skills, which she had practiced for so many years, had been broken and she was even suffering a backlash. She was now completely ruined.

After years of painstaking effort, she finally managed to break into the circle of wealthy socialites and could easily manipulate those socialites and noblewomen.

And just like that, everything was ruined!

The master glared at Xie Li resentfully. She couldn't understand why a master hypnotist like Xie Li would let the mother-daughter relationship develop to this point, since it would be easy for her to handle a wealthy woman like Ding Huizhu.

Xie Li was silent for a moment before softly saying, "Perhaps it's because I'm a very lucky village girl."

If she hadn't been lucky enough to find Chen Tiezhu in the mountains... she probably would still be stuck farming in the mountains.

However, Shen Tiezhu was right; the city was indeed a place where hidden talents resided.

Even a small training school has to use hypnosis to control its students; city dwellers really shouldn't be underestimated.

Xie Li squatted down and looked directly into the master's eyes. "If you just talk about traditional ideas in a proper and conventional way, I may not agree with them, but I will still listen to you out of courtesy."

"But you insist on using such despicable methods to bully these older women. You've tormented so many people; you'll have to go to prison to atone for your sins!"

People who disregard the lives of others do not deserve any sympathy.

Upon hearing this, the master slowly smiled. "You called the police? You're too naive. Did you really think we didn't have any powerful backers?"

After hearing that the group of high school students had called the police, the master and the manager became even more emboldened.

The young man was too naive. He impulsively offended a powerful figure he shouldn't have, and he'll likely face the consequences soon.

Jiang Qingyu seemed to remember something, and suddenly her face turned pale. She grabbed Chen Lian's hand.

"Classmate! I... I remember Madam Li said that this organization is protected by a family in the capital. Even if someone does die, no one will be in trouble."

A voice of despair also came from the group of students nearby.

"You attacked the master and the teaching assistant, they will definitely retaliate against us!"

"Yes, why are you all here trying to be heroes? You don't understand anything, are you trying to kill us? You bunch of troublemakers!"

As soon as this voice was uttered, it immediately caused a commotion among the crowd. Many people echoed, shouted, and blamed, as if this could cover up their inner panic and allow them to continue to endure and comfortably remain her coward.

A look of confusion flashed in Xie Li's eyes. She didn't expect anyone to be grateful for saving her life, but... why did these people act this way?

The hypnosis had clearly been broken, so the master was now completely useless.
