Mind Reader III

As Shen Yan expected, after 9 o'clock that night, the door of his room was knocked by the expected guest.

Chris came alone, but before he entered the hotel, Gu Lei from the outside informed him that the prince had arrived, but the prince's bodyguards only stayed in the corridor and did not come in with the prince. The three of them knew about his eccentricity, and they didn't even want others to know that he was looking for a psychiatrist.

Shen Yan's room is a business suite, besides the living room and bedroom, there is also a small tea room.He invited Chris to the small tea room, drew the curtains and dimmed the indoor lights, Ji Yuyang brought the coffee in, and then exited the room.

"Who is he?"

After Ji Yuyang left, Chris asked Shen Yan nervously.

"My assistant, but the patient information is absolutely confidential, even my assistant will not know."

"But he..." Chris thought for a while, "He should have been in the army, right?"

"Your Highness has good eyesight. He is indeed a veteran. This is also an important reason why I hired him." Shen Yan said lightly, "Psychiatrists are a high-risk profession. We have heard too many secrets from patients. Speaking of it, it’s hard not to be killed by a suspicious patient, or used by the patient’s enemy. Although I am willing to solve the patient’s problems, the premise is that I must ensure my own safety.”

"I still can't do anything to you." Chris added with a self-deprecating sentence, "I don't have the ability either."

The cause of the problem was Chris' doubts about Shen Yan, but unknowingly, Shen Yan led him to the topic of whether Chris would be unfavorable to Shen Yan, now the initiative has been in Shen Yan's hands, if Chris It would be detrimental to Shen Yan, he had reason to refuse to receive Chris, but obviously Chris would not give up on Shen Yan, a rare person to talk to.

"Anyway, you already know." Although he took the initiative to find Shen Yan, Chris was still very nervous, "You will help me, won't you?"

"Chris, I'd be happy to help you," Shen Yan changed his name, "but it depends on how much you trust me. We can talk about other things for a while today, and I will stay here for a while. I think You might want to check my background..."

"I've already investigated," Chris said with a desperate expression, "You are the son of a real estate tycoon in country C, and you are very famous in Florida and even in the United States... I think we should get straight to the point, I I don’t want to live a day like this again!”

In the survey, Chris was an introverted and quiet person, but now he is obviously out of this personality, which proves that his anxiety disorder has risen to another stage.But it's a good thing that he is eager for success, for Shen Yan, it can speed up his progress.

Then Chris began to talk incoherently about the origin of his eccentricity. His accented and stammered English was really a terrible torture for Shen Yan, who was accustomed to the American accent.

Chris is an existence that will be ignored in the royal family, but he doesn't mind, and is satisfied with the status quo.He has no big ambitions personally. Due to his childhood experience, he has an instinctive aversion to the outside world. Chris can be said to be a super otaku now. Except for school and home, he basically doesn’t go out very much, and occasionally travels during holidays. I also went to a relatively remote small town or countryside like β City.

His eccentricity started more than a year ago, it was at a banquet, Chris, who has always disliked excitement, quickly found an excuse to go upstairs to find a room to rest.Then he picked up a diamond collar button on the stairs and recognized it as Cousin Charlie's.He remembered seeing Charlie's girlfriend go in in front of a room just now, and Charlie should be in that room, so he didn't think much about it at the time, so he went straight back to that room, wanting to return the collar button to Charlie.

But the collar button appeared before his eyes as if to let him know something. When he came to that room, he knocked on the door but no one answered.He could have just handed the collar button to the servant or returned it to Charlie later, but somehow, for the first time that day, he just opened the door and walked in.

It was a suite, and outside was the living room, with Charlie's coat and woman's dress still lying on the sofa and on the floor.The scattered clothes stretched all the way to the inner room, but the embarrassing thing was that the door of the inner room was only ajar, and the ambiguous voice from the room clearly entered Chris' ears.

Chris now belatedly wanted to quit, but it was such a coincidence that the two in the room couldn't keep their mouths open while they were doing it, and he suddenly heard his name coming out of the woman's mouth.

"...Oh Charlie...I was outside just now...um...saw your cousin Chris...the way he looked at me...hehe..."

"Why, that idiot deserves your attention?"

"Ha... your cousin... looks pretty good, but he is too gloomy... Is he really from your family? He doesn't look like you at all..."

"Hey, you little slut, you actually compare me to him. He is a disgrace to the royal family. After he was kidnapped when he was young, he went crazy at home every day. Uncle couldn't stand him, if it wasn't for fear of making more ugly troubles." , Throw him to a mental hospital a long time ago..."

It's not the first time Chris has heard people talk about him behind his back, and even his other cousin once humiliated him in front of his father.At least in the past, Charlie still did a good job on the surface. He knew that Charlie looked down on him, but he didn't expect that Charlie would reveal his shortcomings in front of people outside the family.

Although he is low-key, he is not without temper.He was so angry that he wanted to just go in and beat Charlie up.But the cowardice in his character made him unable to take a step. After standing outside for a long time, he silently exited the room.

After he had completely calmed down on the balcony, he realized that he still had Charlie's collar button in his hand.There is an artificial lake downstairs directly opposite the balcony, so without even thinking about it, he raised his hand and threw the collar button into the lake.

This was the way it was, so what if he heard Charlie speak ill of him?He is a little transparent at home, and he can't do anything, and he can't change other people's views on him, let alone revenge.It wasn't the first time he swallowed his anger. Anyway, he didn't usually live with Charlie, out of sight and out of mind.

But the next morning, he was given an unexpected surprise.When he went downstairs to eat in the restaurant, many people were already sitting at the table.It's just that the air pressure on the table is obviously low, and Charlie's father, Prince Will, is reprimanding him in public with a straight face.

This is quite novel for Chris, Prince Will is really dissatisfied with his son being out with women all day long, so he has been reprimanded more than once or twice for this, but this is the first time Chris has seen him reprimanded in public.

After Chris sat down, Princess Grace beside him quietly told him the reason.Princess Grace was the original target of the kidnappers, because Chris was kidnapped instead of her. I don't know whether it was out of gratitude or guilt. This little princess was the only one in the family who took the initiative to get close to Chris.

It turned out that Charlie and his girlfriend were fooled around by Prince Will last night. The manor where the banquet was held was lent to them by a rich businessman. After all, it was someone else's house. The always serious Prince Will was furious Charlie.After getting up this morning, Charlie was in a bad mood and scolded the cleaning maid inexplicably, just in time to be bumped into by Prince Will again.Ask him what's going on, and he can't tell why.And at the breakfast table, the maid who packed his clothes in the morning, led by the housekeeper, came to ask about Charlie's collar button, because the collar button was brought out by the maid herself for Charlie yesterday, this kind of precious jewelry item I don’t usually wear it, and the servants keep it. I can’t find it now, and I don’t know if it’s on Charlie, so I came to ask.

Charlie was already in a bad mood, but now when he heard the collar button, his face was even worse.In fact, he found that the collar button was missing early in the morning, and he searched the room for a long time, but he couldn't find it, so he scolded the maid who bumped into the muzzle of the gun to relieve his anger.She was going to muddle through, but the maid was afraid that she would be responsible for losing valuables, so she immediately reported to the housekeeper honestly.

It's exciting now, you know, even though it's the royal family, how can the little money allocated by the parliament to the royal family members every year can support the royal family's face? Although a good life is guaranteed, if you want to be extravagant, you can only rely on the royal family members We run it ourselves.

The pair of diamond collar buckles are very valuable, and they are only worn during banquets. Although this amount of money is not a big amount for Prince Will's family, if it is missing, you have to look for it. Prince Will's family Nor is he the type to let his children spend as much as they want.

In fact, if Charlie said that he lost it, everyone would look for it in the manor, and if they couldn't find it, it would be nothing. A collar button worth a million yuan would not be too much to lose.But the bad thing is that Charlie has been scolded by his father twice since last night, and his mood is so terrible that a fool actually said that he gave the collar button to his girlfriend.

Prince Will was already dissatisfied with his son, and when he heard that he just casually gave things to his girlfriend, he immediately became angry.He didn't know about Charlie's girlfriends, they were all promiscuous people, Prince Will would hate to look at her.In the past, although Charlie was rich outside, he would not give such expensive things to women who play on the spot.Now Prince Will felt that his son was getting worse and worse, so he directly reprimanded him at the dinner table.

Seeing Charlie, whose face turned pale after being reprimanded in public, Chris suddenly felt a strange sense of satisfaction in his heart.This was an experience he had never experienced before. It had not been a day or two since he had been insulted and looked down upon by others. All along, he could only behave as a man with his tail between his legs, not even daring to speak loudly.Now he felt the pleasure of revenge. He personally took revenge on his cousin who insulted him, but no one knew that he did it, and there was no doubt that it was him, right?

Chris was so excited that his hands were shaking, but he remained calm on the surface, because from that moment on, he decided to wait for a while before repeating the old trick and go to his other cousin Herman.So he has to keep a low profile and not let anyone find out.

Facts have proved that Chris's plan is successful, he stole Herman's car keys, thrown into the sewer.Heman was fooling around in the bar until midnight, but couldn't find the car keys, so he was directly called by those cronies to attend a nudity party, and was photographed by reporters, causing another royal scandal, and was locked up by his father Shut up at home and meditate.

After these two incidents, Chris seems to have found a unique way of revenge.He stole things from those annoying ghosts one after another, not necessarily valuable, but causing trouble to people.The targets of his revenge have gradually expanded from looking down on his family members to servants in the house, teachers and classmates at school, guests at parties who he doesn't know but somehow dislike, and even passers-by on the street.

He was immersed in the pleasure of stealing. At first, he tried every means to see the embarrassing reaction of the person he took revenge on. Later, he was very satisfied as long as he imagined the embarrassing face of the other party after the theft. Later, he Don't think about it anymore, this kind of pleasure seems to have become a habit, as long as he implements the process of stealing, the indescribable pleasure will make him fly to the clouds.

This eccentricity lasted for more than half a year, and he didn't feel that there was anything wrong. It wasn't until one time when he went to a friend's house and found that he had taken his friend's driver's license, that he began to reflect.There are not many people who can become his friends, but the few people treat him sincerely, and he never thought of doing anything to be sorry for his friends.But now he instinctively stole something from his friend, and he wanted to return it, but he was afraid again.

He was afraid that his friends would ask him why he stole, he was afraid that the other party would look at him with the same eyes as others, and he was afraid that the good things he had done in the past would be exposed in this way, and only then did he realize how abnormal his previous behavior was.

In the end, he could only throw the driver's license in the stairwell of his friend's house, hoping that someone with good intentions would pick it up and return it to his friend.He made up his mind to stop stealing, but he suddenly realized that it was almost as difficult as quitting drugs.

Although he tried his best to restrain himself from stealing again, the emptiness and anxiety in his heart became more and more intense, as uncomfortable as a cat scratching.He took other people's things unintentionally many times, and he began to be afraid that he might have a dual personality like he played in the movie.He also thought of seeing a psychiatrist in the past, but he didn't want others to know his secret.The psychiatrist of the royal family will definitely tell his father when he finds out, and the psychiatrists outside are unreliable. If it is exposed to the media, how will Chris, who has a low status at home, be left out?

In this inner struggle, he regretted and felt guilty again and again, and stole again and again. With this process, his anxiety escalated day by day.This time he took advantage of his vacation to come to the relatively remote city of β for vacation. He originally thought that if he could relax, he would feel better, but in the tennis court hall he made another shot.

But this time, Shen Yan saw through his brilliant stealing skills.His heart was in his throat, and he wondered if he would just die like this.However, to his surprise, Shen Yan was actually a well-known psychiatrist, and he didn't seem to have any malicious intentions towards him.He thought that his secret had already been known by the second person anyway, and Shen Yan became the only one he could confide his pressure to over the past year.So he only thought about it for less than half a day, and after the bodyguard brought Shen Yan's preliminary information, he decided to look for Shen Yan right away, he couldn't bear to go on like this for a moment.
