Chapter 40 Seeking a Strategy
Xu Rulin pulled over a chair and sat down.
He knew the inside story of Song Yanzhou's marriage, and because of this, when Song Yanzhou got married, he thought it was just a formality, so Xu Rulin specifically told Song Yanzhou about it.
He slept in at home and didn't go to Song Yanzhou's wedding banquet.
But he saw Song Yanzhou calling him every other day. Was it that Ye Mu really had a problem again, or was it that Song Yanzhou was overly concerned and couldn't make up his mind, so he wanted to ask him more questions?
Xu Rulin did not meet Song Yanzhou in person, but his intuition told him that this matter was not simple.
At least there seemed to be something wrong with Song Yanzhou's situation.
I can’t say where exactly it is, maybe he has too strong a sense of responsibility, a little too much?
Let's first hear if Song Yanzhou is worrying too much.
"Tell me, is it about your wife?"
Xu Rulin said as he took a pen and planned to write down some information about Ye Mu. If the Ye family asked him to help treat Ye Mu's autism in the future, they would have some understanding.
It doesn't matter if he doesn't look for him. He can also accumulate some information on autism symptoms and increase understanding of people with this disease.
Song Yanzhou said: "It is indeed Ye Mu's business."
Xu Rulin raised his eyebrows and asked, "Tell me in detail, what are her current symptoms?"
Song Yanzhou talked about Ye Mu's changes, especially the communication between Ye Mu and him.
After listening to this, Xu Rulin said:
"Is there progress so soon?"
"It's a bit beyond my imagination and expectation. To be honest, her symptoms don't seem like autism. She just simply isolates herself and doesn't interact with outsiders. It sounds more like a withdrawn personality."
"Is there any more detailed information about Ye Mu?"
Song Yanzhou frowned when he heard this and said, "No, she didn't appear often in H Province before, and when she did, people called her a fool. This is all written in the information I checked."
"I can't find out more. You know the country doesn't have such a sound information system yet."
Xu Rulin thought for a moment and said, "I don't know if she is a loner, but I am 70% confident that she is not autistic."
"Autism is not well understood in China now, so misdiagnosis is common."
Song Yanzhou agreed with Xu Rulin's words, sat down on the chair, and said, "You are right, it should be a misdiagnosis, but don't tell anyone about the misdiagnosis."
"Don't you suspect she was pretending now?"
Xu Rulin was a little amused. He understood what Song Yanzhou meant. Autism could clear Ye Mu's name more easily than being aloof. Song Yanzhou had a selfish motive: "Aren't you afraid that she is really... that someone?"
The nurse who served food came in, and Xu Rulin changed the word "spy" that was on the tip of his tongue to "that person".
Song Yanzhou laughed when he heard this and said, "If that's the case, then I really have to thank them."
"Thank you." Xu Rulin covered the receiver and thanked the nurse. The nurse quickly shook her head, turned around and ran out.
Xu Rulin then continued to pick up the phone and asked:
"What did you just say? Someone came in here and I didn't hear it clearly."
Song Yanzhou briefly repeated it, and Xu Rulin asked curiously:
"Thank you for what? From what you said, it seems like there's something you haven't told me yet?"
Song Yanzhou immediately talked about what happened last night. Xu Rulin had been holding the receiver on his shoulder and opening the lunch box. Hearing this, he was suddenly shocked and put down the lunch box. He held the receiver and said:
"Song Yanzhou, I think you might have found a treasure!"
Song Yanzhou's voice suddenly stopped, his eyelids twitched and he asked:
"What do you want to say?"
Xu Rulin's eyes seemed to be shining, and he was very excited. He said:
"Remember what I told you last time when you mentioned that Ye Mu's observation ability was sharper than that of ordinary people?"
"I was a little skeptical at the time, but I wasn't sure. Now that you said Ye Mu has an excellent talent for shooting, I think I can be 80% to 90% sure that Ye Mu is likely one of these people with high IQs. In simple terms, she is a genius. And she is definitely not autistic. I am more inclined to believe that she has become withdrawn because of her childhood environment and upbringing."
"I'm not very professional in this area, but I do know a little bit about it. First of all, geniuses like Ye Mu may have very strange personalities, and their ideas are sometimes very different from those of ordinary people."
"Secondly, Ye Mu grew up in a terrible environment. People with high IQs are more likely to commit crimes than ordinary people in some situations because they are smarter than others. Some things that ordinary people think are difficult are not difficult for them. They can list several solutions in their minds."
Xu Rulin was a little excited, excited about discovering a genius who might be rare, but also a little anxious, because this rare genius might go astray.
He said to Song Yanzhou anxiously: "Can you understand what I mean?"
Song Yanzhou naturally understood what Xu Rulin meant. If Ye Mu grew up in such an environment, he would most likely become a spy or a traitor.
Because she had experienced criticism and struggle, she had been dragged onto the criticism platform, and even witnessed her entire family being treated like that, and at the same time she was raised by secret agents.
Song Yanzhou's hand holding the receiver tightened a bit. If Ye Mu really...
Should he hand her over?
There was a trace of struggle in his eyes. He pursed his lips and thought for a long time before answering Xu Rulin, who was almost impatient waiting:
"Is there any way... to change her?"
Xu Rulin was stunned for a moment, then he realized what Song Yanzhou was saying. He was a little dumbfounded, but at the same time he also understood what was so strange in his heart before.
He felt that Song Yanzhou's concern for Ye Mu was more than just excessive?
Hearing him remain silent for such a long time, Xu Rulin thought that Song Yanzhou didn't understand his hint and was about to explain it in more detail.
As a result, Song Yanzhou asked him how he could change Ye Mu.
This sentence contained a lot of meaning. Xu Rulin rarely heard a hint of hesitation and entanglement in Song Yanzhou's tone.
Xu Rulin: It’s over.
He suddenly felt a little regretful for not attending Song Yanzhou's wedding banquet.
Xu Rulin remained silent for too long, and Song Yanzhou was a little disappointed: "No?"
Xu Rulin quickly spoke up, saying something that could comfort his good brother:
"Personality is shaped by nature. This kind of person is so smart. Besides, her parents, brother and family are still in the countryside. There must be a way. You understand, right?"
"But first you have to make sure she still has feelings for her family. She was too young when she was left behind. If she complains about her family, that will be difficult to deal with."
"Also, you said that she took the initiative to communicate with you today and her speech condition has improved. Can you elaborate on that? I can make a judgment. She is willing to communicate with you. I feel that this is a big breakthrough."
Upon hearing this, Song Yanzhou explained in detail what happened with Ye Mu over the past two days. "She definitely still has feelings for her family, and she doesn't blame them for misunderstandings or bear a grudge against them. I read her letter..."
After listening to this, Xu Rulin couldn't help but sigh:
"That means you. Although I don't know how well you have done, the fact that you have gained her recognition and taken the initiative to contact her shows that you have been very successful."
"I guess any other man or woman might not be able to open the door to her world, and she might always be on guard against them."
"She shows a tendency to actively communicate with you, which means that you have been truly accepted into her world. Maybe you are the only special person to her at the moment. If you work harder, you may be able to lead her out of her own little world."
"But don't be too anxious. You just need to make her willing to communicate with other people. If Ye Mu prefers to be alone, let her be alone. Not everyone needs to deal with a lot of people."
Song Yanzhou nodded: "I understand."
He felt something strange in his heart. Was he a special person to Ye Mu?
But he didn't actually do anything, he just tried his best to take care of her.
It's just a little bit of warmth, can it make her open her heart to him?
Song Yanzhou lowered his eyes slightly, because the joy that arose from this special thing was dispersed, and was replaced by heartache for Ye Mu's past.
