Forced to Date a Big Shot

Xue Xi was stunned and said coldly, “Nonsense.”

Just as Li Zixia was about to say something, Li Xuelei rushed into the laboratory and shouted, “Xue Xi, Xue Xi, get out here!”

Xue Xi frowned.

She and Xiang Huai looked at each other. When the two of them slowly walked out, Li Xuekai was already blocking Li Xuelei. He said, “What are you doing? Why are you acting crazy here?”

Li Xuelei was exasperated. “What am I doing? I’m here to confront Xue Xi. In order to win against us, she was so unscrupulous! She actually used such a method. It’s so disappointing that she could even think of it!”

Li Xuekai was stunned. “What nonsense are you spouting?”

When Xue Xi walked out, she coincidentally heard Li Xuelei say angrily, “What nonsense am I spouting? In our laboratory, the members of the mathematics team who passed by here are all muddle-headed every day. It’s as though their spirit has been sucked dry. They don’t sleep enough every day and fall asleep while doing the project. I was wondering why and thought that you guys may have used too many people. Only today did I find out that it was because that psychiatrist, Ji Silin, had spoken to them!”

Li Xuelei pointed at Xue Xi angrily and said, “In order to win that bet, she really resorted to every means possible. She even used such a strange and unexpected method. She’s too shameless!”

Li Xuekai could not help but shake his head. “You know that this is unexpected, yet you’re still saying that here? Who would believe such unbelievable words? It’s simply nonsense!”

Li Xuelei sneered. “I’m spouting nonsense? Ha, I called the police just to confirm it, but it turned out I was right!”

Seeing how certain he was, a bad feeling rose in Xue Xi’s heart. “What did you find out?”

Li Xuelei swore, “It’s him! Otherwise, why would he reject the investigation and run away?”

Xue Xi’s pupils constricted. “What?”

Li Xuelei was indignant. “I said that after the police arrived, they invited the people in our laboratory to the hospital for a check-up. Then, they came to capture Ji Silin and asked him to cooperate with the investigation. However, during the arrest, Ji Silin ran away!

“If he’s not guilty, why is he running?

“Heh, but Xue Xi, you’re really something. If Ji Silin runs away, you won’t be implicated, right? But everyone knows that Ji Silin is on good terms with you and is serving you! Do you think you can get rid of the suspicion just because he ran away? Let me tell you, no way! I’ll definitely pursue this matter to the end!”

After shouting this, Li Xuelei turned around and left the laboratory.

After he left, the entire laboratory fell silent.

Everyone looked at Xue Xi in disbelief.

Ji Silin could actually really hypnotize someone? Make people so depressed that all they wanted was to sleep and have no energy for anything else? This matter sounded strange, right?

Li Xuekai frowned and said, “Alright, don’t think too much about it. This is nonsense. Everyone should do what they should do. We are all in the scientific field. Don’t believe in such superstitions! Psychologists can only guide others. How can they have the ability to bewitch others?”

Everyone nodded.

Only Xue Xi clenched her jaw.

Li Xuekai did not know. She did not know in the past either. She had even concluded that hypnotic suggestion did not exist. However, now, she knew that there was another type of person in this world—espers.

If she thought about it carefully, Ji Silin’s psychological counseling was so formidable. Was he really just a psychiatrist?

Just as she was thinking, she saw Li Man in a daze. Li Xuekai patted him. “What are you thinking about?”

Li Man said, “I was thinking that back then, I felt that I was useless. When I was feeling depressed, Dr. Ji chatted with me and I immediately felt full of confidence. Actually, I’m not someone who is easily swayed. Since I was young, my mother said that I loved to drive her up the wall. Now that I think about it, I was convinced too easily by Dr. Ji.”

Li Xuekai shook his head. “Dr. Ji is a psychiatrist. He will definitely be able to hit your soft spot with just two sentences. Don’t think too much.”

Li Man asked in a low voice, “Did Dr. Ji really escape from punishment? I think Dr. Ji is a good person!”

The rest discussed in private:

“The feeling that Dr. Ji gives me is very mild. How can he be a bad person?”

“Moreover, the ones who feel dispirited are all from the neighboring project. Dr. Ji is clearly helping us, so we definitely can’t make a comeback.”

“…That’s right. Even if Dr. Ji did something wrong, it’s for our own good.”

“…”

Just as this group of people was discussing in low voices, two familiar people walked in and greeted them.

Jing Fei waved. “Hello, Sister Xi!”

The person standing beside Jing Fei was Zheng Zhi. He did not speak and the two of them walked straight toward Xue Xi. When they entered the office, they saw Xiang Huai.

The corners of Jing Fei’s lips twitched. Boss, you said that you had to rest after returning from a business trip. Is this your rest?

Xiang Huai ignored his gaze and continued sitting on the sofa in Xue Xi’s office.

Xue Xi asked, “Little Pigeon, why are you here?”

She had a bad premonition.

Indeed, the next moment, Jing Fei closed the door and his expression turned serious. “Sister Xi, after our investigation, Ji Silin is indeed revealed to be an esper.”

Xue Xi widened her eyes.

Esper…

Jing Fei said, “In Li Xuelei’s project team, it’s been found that those few dispirited people had nothing wrong with their bodies after being checked by the hospital. It was just that they were mentally exhausted and wanted to sleep. This is a psychological problem. We are still investigating the exact reason, but this definitely has something to do with Ji Silin. Sister Xi, do you know where he is?”

Xue Xi sat behind her desk with a calm expression. She said calmly, “I don’t know.”

The moment she said this, Zheng Zhi panicked. “How can you not know? Aren’t you very familiar with him? Xue Xi, this kind of mutant who is out of control is very dangerous! We suspect that his special ability is on the spiritual level. For example, he can control people’s thoughts. This kind of person is too scary. If he controls someone to kill someone else, it will cause a huge impact and commotion in society! This kind of person must be within our surveillance range. You can’t protect him. Let me tell you, if you know where he is but dare to…”

As Zheng Zhi spoke, his tone was anxious and fierce.

But before he could finish speaking, he heard a bang. Xiang Huai placed the glass of water in his hand on the coffee table and made a sound. Zheng Zhi was so frightened that he jolted awake.

His tone changed. “…Dare to not report it, then our boss has the right to punish you.”

Boss?

Omnipotent Boss?

Xue Xi recalled that “Moguls’ Group.” Brother Silin was the deputy leader of the Moguls’ Group, while the teacher was the group leader.

These two must know each other.

Xue Xi frowned. “…Oh.”

Zheng Zhi was speechless.

He had said so much righteously, but this person only gave such a reaction?

Just as he was about to say something, Jing Fei grabbed his hand and said with a smile, “Sister Xi, let me tell you, espers can be very scary. Don’t be soft-hearted. Ji Silin looks gentle and harmless, right? But in fact, that might be because his special power is being used to make you lower your guard against him! Perhaps the feeling he gives off in real life is very scary! Before you realize it, he will eat you up!”

Xue Xi: “…”

This tone to scare children!

Jing Fei continued, “Moreover, it’s fine if he’s just an esper in the wild. For example, Yu Da doesn’t have any nefarious schemes. But if he’s part of that organization…”

At this point, he suddenly realized that he had said too much. He immediately coughed and awkwardly changed the topic. “Anyway, Sister Xi, our department is wary of wild espers. Think about it. Do people with special abilities really want to live an ordinary life? Even if they don’t do evil, they will show their presence one way or another. Anyway, it doesn’t bode well if they are not controlled by us. That’s why, if you see him again, you must be wary.”

Xue Xi: “…Oh.”

Seeing that her reaction was still so calm, Zheng Zhi was really anxious. He wanted to say something, but he did not know what. In the end, he could only say angrily, “Forget it. If you don’t want to listen, you’ll learn to when you suffer!”

Jing Fei chuckled. “Sister Xi, don’t mind him. My son is stubborn and soft-hearted. He’s just worried about you. Erm, if there’s nothing else, we’ll leave first!”

When the two noisy people finally left, Xiang Huai turned to look at Xue Xi. Just as he was thinking of how to warn the little kid to stay away from Ji Silin, he saw the little kid staring at him. “Are you also an esper?”

Xiang Huai paused.

Before he could speak, Xue Xi asked, “Why didn’t those two hide anything from you when they spoke just now?”

The existence of espers was a huge secret.

Ordinary people would not know. Even if they did, their memories would be erased and they would forget about espers. After all, the existence of espers could bring on more crimes.

However, when Jing Fei and Zheng Zhi spoke, they subconsciously did not block Xiang Huai out. Moreover, these two seemed to be a little afraid of him?

Xue Xi stood up and walked toward Xiang Huai. She asked hesitantly, “Who exactly are you?”
