As Ruan Qing'an left Qin Xi's bedroom, she had only taken a few steps down the stairs when the butler, who had been pacing back and forth in the Qin family villa, approached her, seemingly having been looking for her for some time.
The butler said cautiously, "Dr. Ruan, the master would like you to go to his study. He has something important to discuss with you."
"Okay, I understand."
Ruan Qing'an nodded slightly, but she already had a plan in mind. It seemed to be because of Xu Ling'er.
As Ruan Qing'an approached the study alone, she suddenly stopped. The door was ajar, probably left open for her, and she could hear conversations coming from inside.
Qin Cheng was sitting at his desk, carefully examining Xu Ling'er. Her arrogant scholarly attitude displeased him, but Qin Yue, who was beside him, kept saying nice things to her.
After all, a great teacher produces a great student. As Professor Robert's student, Xu Ling'er still had a sense of pride and did not restrain herself in front of Qin Cheng.
Holding Qin Xi's file in one hand, she explained, "Mr. Qin, Qin Xi's illness is urgent. I'm here on a mission from my teacher, and I'm confident in my abilities."
"According to the information, Qin Xi's chronic insomnia is the main reason why his physical functions are getting worse and worse. The human body needs rest, especially since he also has hyperthymesia."
Xu Ling'er continued, "Insomnia can indeed be caused by bipolar disorder, but I'm more inclined to believe that hyperthymesia is the main factor."
"Hyperthymesia uses the left frontal lobe to process language and the occipital region at the back of the brain to store image memories in order to store long-term memories. At the same time, the cerebral cortex is overactive. In short, his brain can't rest."
"In order for his brain to function for a longer period of time, he must give up his current job to rest. Sleep aids are necessary and cannot be avoided."
Xu Ling'er's attitude was very assertive, and she wouldn't give an inch.
Just then, there was a knock on the study door, and Ruan Qing'an walked in from outside: "Uncle Qin, Young Master Qin Yue."
"Dr. Ruan, you've arrived. Let me introduce you. This is Xu Ling'er, Dr. Xu. Her mentor is Professor Robert."
Qin Yue introduced them, while Xu Ling'er sized up Ruan Qing'an and nodded arrogantly: "Hello, I am Xu Ling'er."
"I have long admired Ruan Qing'an."
Ruan Qing'an greeted them. She had already overheard Xu Ling'er's deduction while she was outside the door. In any case, they maintained the same attitude at least when it came to solving Qin Xi's insomnia.
Xu Ling'er said, "Dr. Ruan, right? Young Master Qin has already told me about the situation. I think your treatment is inappropriate."
"So, Dr. Xu has some insightful opinions?"
Hearing Ruan Qing'an's question, Xu Ling'er didn't mince words: "It's very simple. People like Qin Xi, who have self-harm and aggressive tendencies, are very dangerous. Whether it's him or others, we must find a way to protect him and take certain strong measures."
"You'd rather Qin Xi be locked up?"
As Ruan Qingan spoke, his leaden-gray eyes gradually darkened.
In the original text, Xu Ling'er was able to get Qin Xi to transfer his affections to her by using coercive measures, isolating Qin Xi and then guiding him alone, which ultimately succeeded.
Qin Xi transferred his feelings to her and moved on. Qin Xi was also Xu Ling'er's first patient, which greatly boosted her confidence.
But to Xu Ling'er's method, Ruan Qing'an could only give a "friendly" middle finger gesture—it's like destroying a person and then rebuilding them. She is indeed crazy, but she wouldn't do such a despicable thing as a psychologist.
No wonder Xu Ling'er, a psychologist, could violate professional ethics and be with her patients; she clearly has no moral bottom line...
When Xu Ling'er heard Ruan Qing'an's question, she could clearly sense the aggressiveness in it, and her expression turned rather unpleasant.
At the desk, Qin Cheng and Qin Yue didn't quite understand what the two were saying, but Qin Cheng's expression was clearly still not very good.
At this moment, Qin Yue leaned forward and whispered, "Father, why don't we keep Dr. Xu? Dr. Ruan still has too much influence on Qin Xi. What if it has an impact in the future..."
The words were left unsaid, but Qin Cheng already understood.
He paused, then continued, "Qin Xi has indeed been like this lately, and what you said makes some sense, but—"
Qin Cheng was still somewhat worried. After all, if he directly kicked Ruan Qing'an out, Qin Xi might just overturn his desk. If he didn't cooperate then, things would get complicated.
Thinking of this, Qin Cheng coughed lightly, attracting the attention of Xu Ling'er and Ruan Qing'an. He then said, "Well then, since I'm also very worried about Qin Xi's illness, I'll trouble the two doctors to do their best. The compensation will be the same."
Because of Qin Cheng's concerns, the matter was quickly settled. Although Xu Ling'er believed that she was from a prestigious family and that working with Ruan Qing'an would reduce efficiency, she could not walk away because of her teacher's instructions.
But as soon as Xu Ling'er stepped out of the study, her expression turned sour. She asked Ruan Qing'an, "I've never heard of you before, Dr. Ruan. Do you work here or graduated from a university?"
"I can't compare to Dr. Xu."
Ruan Qingan gave a rather perfunctory answer.
Xu Ling'er clearly hadn't expected that Ruan Qing'an wouldn't even acknowledge her. After a moment of silence, she finally got down to business: "Is Qin Xi taking lithium carbonate?"
"What?"
Ruan Qing'an subconsciously asked a question, then remained silent for a moment: "The Qin family forbids Qin Xi from taking any medicine on his own, so he hasn't taken anything."
Xu Ling'er nodded, but looked at Ruan Qing'an thoughtfully. She felt that this woman didn't know anything about lithium carbonate...
037: [Ancestor, didn't you already know?]
"Having worked in the Administration Bureau for so long, even though I haven't systematically studied psychology, I still know some things. This drug can stabilize mood and treat the manic state of bipolar disorder."
Ruan Qing'an spoke casually, his eyes flashing slightly. However, deliberately exposing weaknesses was also a way to lure the enemy in.
037 was even more confused about what this ancestor was trying to do.
But just as they stepped out of the corridor, several servants ran over, shouting, "Oh no! The young master has had another attack!"
Ruan Qing'an was slightly taken aback. Could it be that Qin Xi was having a manic episode?!
