Chapter 334 Stockholm Syndrome
Where should I start talking about this matter?
Lin Zhiqing thought about it carefully.
If this idea first came to his mind, it was when Jiang Yunhe and Jiang Liuyun left the Lin family in a triumphant manner.
It’s just that Lin Yangyang was very emotional at that time, so Lin Zhiqing didn’t say anything.
Moreover, Jiang Yunhe's instigation caused some trust crisis between the Lin family and Lin Zhiqing.
At that time, Lin Zhiqing was not sure whether Lin Yangyang and others would misunderstand her, so she planned to observe for the time being.
But fortunately, other people are not important, and Lin Yangyang always remains rational.
Lin Zhiqing was also surprised by this.
If it were the Lin Yangyang of the past, she would definitely explode at the slightest touch.
But this time she came up with something easily and didn't lose her mind.
After her first visit to the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion, Lin Yangyang felt that something was wrong, and quickly found Lin Zhiqing to discuss a solution.
It was during this period of time that Lin Zhiqing explained the plan in detail to Lin Yangyang.
The plan can be roughly summarized as follows: Lin Yangyang pretends to betray Lin Zhiqing and the Lin family in order to induce the Zhenyuan Marquis and his son.
Now, the first half of the plan has been completed.
From the moment Lin Yangyang impulsively went to look for Jiang Yunhe and said that she knew news about Zheng Kuo, Lin Zhiqing and Lin Yangyang were both acting.
During this period, the two discussed a lot.
Every word Lin Yangyang said was the result of Lin Zhiqing's careful consideration.
Of course, human emotions cannot be controlled.
Especially someone like Lin Yangyang who has an active mind and can't hide things.
What's more, not everyone has studied psychology.
Many times, she almost got caught.
For example, when Lin Congli went to the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion to pick up Lin Yangyang, Lin Yangyang didn't want to pay attention to him.
But because he noticed someone was following them, he stopped him from speaking.
For example, when Lin Zhiqing was slapped, Lin Yangyang almost couldn't hold back and took action.
If Jiang Liuyun had not spoken first, the plan would have failed.
Also, when Lin Yangyang was "knocked down" just now, she just felt that the plan was about to succeed, so she couldn't suppress the smile.
Lin Zhiqing was watching from the side, terrified, afraid that Jiang Yunhe would see something and make their plan fail.
Fortunately, Lin Yangyang quickly controlled her expression, and Jiang Yunhe was too confident to notice anything unusual.
Of course, there are many such unexpected situations. After all, Lin Zhiqing cannot control everything.
Even she herself couldn't control her emotions several times.
For example, when Lin Yangyang vomited blood just now, she really thought that Jiang Yunhe had done it, but she never expected that it was Lin Yangyang who did it.
Although he was on guard against many people in this world, Lin Zhiqing really couldn't bear to watch a living and familiar person die in front of him.
Lin Yangyang is, and so is Lin Shian.
Thinking of this, Lin Zhiqing's thoughts were interrupted by Lin Yangyang.
"Sister Qing, what did you gain tonight?" She looked at Lin Zhiqing curiously.
Lin Zhiqing smiled slightly: "I gained a lot."
"First, we must at least convince the Zhenyuan Marquis and his son that we have broken off relations."
"Second, we directed their attention to Yongqing."
"Third, I found out that Jiang Liuyun likes me."
Lin Yangyang nodded as she listened to her words. When she heard the last sentence, her eyes raised high:
"What, Jiang Liuyun likes you, are you kidding?"
"He used to be your fiancé. If he really loved you, he wouldn't have caused us trouble, either openly or covertly, causing you to break off your engagement."
"Besides, not only have we done many things to the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion, we've also ruined his reputation. Even so, he still likes you. Is he crazy?"
"Don't tell me, he might actually be sick." Lin Zhiqing pinched his chin: "Do you know there's a disease called Stockholm syndrome?"
"Of course I don't know. Is this also a psychological illness?" Lin Yangyang now understood everything.
Lin Zhiqing nodded. "Yes, this disease refers to the situation where some people, when hurt, may instinctively develop a sense of dependence on the perpetrator, or even a desire to protect him."
"As long as the perpetrator gives the victim some small favors from time to time, the victim will feel safe."
"No, are there really such mean people in this world?" Lin Yangyang was a little confused:
"Who would fall in love with someone who hurts them? Jiang Liuyun doesn't seem like someone who lacks love!"
"No!" Lin Zhiqing shook his head again: "He must be lacking love."
"Why?" Lin Yangyang was puzzled. "He had a good family background, was not bad looking, and had a good reputation in Shengjing City. How could he lack love?"
"You may not have noticed, but Jiang Liuyun and Jiang Yunhe don't have a typical father-son relationship. They are more like rivals, unconsciously comparing themselves to each other when doing things."
"No, I really didn't notice that." Lin Yangyang shook her head like a wave drum.
Lin Zhiqing patiently explained:
"Jiang Yunhe is unwilling to listen to Jiang Liuyun's opinions. Even if he agrees, he doesn't really agree with them. He also has doubts about Jiang Liuyun's ability to get things done."
"Just like just now, Jiang Liuyun had already rushed to Yongqing to confirm Zheng Kuo's death, but Jiang Yunhe still rushed over after dealing with you."
"This is what it feels like to not trust Jiang Liuyun and have to clean up the mess yourself."
"What you said does seem to make sense." Lin Yangyang suddenly understood.
Lin Zhiqing continued, "It's not just this. Jiang Liuyun didn't like me before, but he still accepted this engagement and accepted me as his fiancée."
"Now it seems that this was probably a helpless move made under the coercion of Jiang Yunhe."
"That day when Jiang Yunhe brought Jiang Liuyun to the Lin family's gate to apologize, there was something similar in that meaning."
Lin Yangyang recalled for a moment before speaking:
"Now that you mention it, I remember that Jiang Liuyun was indeed quite reluctant at the time, but he didn't show it in front of outsiders. It was only revealed after he entered the Lin family."
Lin Zhiqing nodded: "This is our chance."
Lin Yangyang was confused again: "What kind of opportunity is this? Being liked by someone like this is worse than eating a fly."
"Cousin, you don't know yet, there are many ways to take advantage of others, but love always comes first." Lin Zhiqing didn't know what he was thinking about, and lowered his head:
“Even the most rational person will go through fire and water just because of a word of love.”
"I'm not sure how much Jiang Liuyun likes me, but he clearly doesn't want Jiang Yunhe to hit me again."
"If it has reached the point where they don't want me to get hurt, then I have a lot of room to maneuver."
