Chapter 101: Chapter 1: The Kidnapped Young Lady

The difference between a psychological counselor and a psychiatrist is still present, Xiao Qing thought about how the doctor’s title in the previous Chapter was somewhat inappropriate and has already been corrected, sorry for that~

**********************

When the middle-aged woman heard Li Shuning speak, she was about to rush over. From her posture, it seemed she was about to hit Li Shuning.

Many people around exclaimed in surprise.

Li Shuning coldly glanced at the middle-aged woman, her gaze fixed on the woman. When the middle-aged woman charged in front of Li Shuning, she suddenly stopped, seemingly stunned, and did not move.

The hearts of the people around who were tense were finally able to relax.

After a while, the middle-aged woman seemed to regain her senses and loudly cursed, “Are you Li Shuning? You may look beautiful, but your heart is black. You charge such high fees and still require appointments. My son’s condition is so severe, but it’s impossible to jump the queue. Your studio is completely a rip-off.”

Li Shuning said indifferently, “Lady, please mind your language. According to you, there’s no need for appointments with specialists at the hospital, right? My studio does indeed require appointments, and the price is fixed, fair to all. You said your son’s condition is severe; you can simply explain this to the front desk, and they’ll inform me. However, I am not at the studio now. Are you causing a scene in order to do what? Can I suspect that your intentions are not good? If you don’t speak properly, I’ll call the police directly.”

The middle-aged woman wanted to say something more but was held back by a man beside her. He seemed honest and simple, wearing a dull gray uniform that didn’t fit well, with several patches on it.

As for the son mentioned by the middle-aged woman, he should be the young man curled up on a row of seats outside the studio, looking to be in his twenties, wearing a checkered shirt and gray pants that sagged loosely and didn’t fit.

This family looked like they were not well-off.

Li Shuning wondered if they wanted to use this chaotic approach to seek her help.

Li Shuning’s guess was quite accurate. Over the past six months, this family had been to many places trying to treat their son, but to no avail.

The young man curled up on the chair seemed unaware of the crowd around him, lost in his own world.

Seeing Li Shuning’s mix of firmness and softness, the middle-aged woman suddenly knelt down, “Miss Li, I beg you, save my child. My child was fine before. After the New Year, he became like this. Whatever people say to him, it’s as if he doesn’t hear it. Many nights, he just sits there without sleeping. We really have no choice now and couldn’t find Miss Li, so our emotions ran high. Please forgive us, Miss Li.”

Li Shuning glanced at the young man and walked directly over to him.

The young man kept his head down, and Li Shuning squatted in front of him.

Her spiritual power surged out and found that the young man’s spiritual power was very weak and seemed to have suffered some trauma.

Li Shuning’s spiritual power gently touched the young man’s spiritual power.

From others’ perspectives, Li Shuning was just squatting there, motionless.

In the middle-aged woman’s eyes, a hint of disappointment flashed. Watching the woman’s pretentious actions, it seemed she was useless. Over the past six months, she and her husband had spent a lot everywhere, almost to the brink of bankruptcy, and this woman’s fees were so high, yet she had no real ability, hmph.

As Li Shuning soothed the mental trauma, the young man raised his head, and Li Shuning directly hypnotized him.

This family seemed bizarre. She couldn’t understand what kind of stimulus a man his age had undergone to become like this?

Li Shuning was somewhat cold, not a warm-hearted person, but there were some things she was willing to help with.

This family created such a scene, and she felt somewhat angry, using the reputation of others as an attack point, placing oneself in a moral high ground, was truly disgusting.

“Come on, tell Sis what happened? Why don’t you dare face others? Why do you hide away?”

The middle-aged woman smirked; if asking like this could reveal anything, they wouldn’t have spent so much money and traveled all over the country in the past six months.

But the next moment, what came out of her son’s mouth almost made her soul fly away.

“Mom and Dad are human traffickers. During the New Year, they kidnapped a girl. While on the way, they met the police. To avoid being discovered, Mom told me to hide the girl. But the girl started yelling, so I covered her mouth, not realizing I’d suffocate her to death. I’m terrified. I didn’t want to kill her. Dad didn’t want to encounter the police, so he took a side route, but the car was driven too fast, and it flipped over. I bumped my head against the girl’s head, and her eyes stared at me. I’m scared.”

The crowd around was somewhat stunned, what is going on?

The young man’s father then came to his senses, rushed over, trying to push Li Shuning away to take his son.

Li Shuning stood up early, avoiding the young man’s father.

As the family of three frantically tried to escape, the people around them also came to their senses, some attempting to catch them.

The young man’s father, however, somehow pulled out a dagger, waving it around.

For a moment, no one dared approach.

Li Shuning sneered, never expecting such a situation.

The person previously holding a camera was evidently a journalist, now looked like they had been invigorated, originally accepting some money to report some scandal, but now had unearthed a big story.

Human traffickers, reaping sins, faced retribution from their son, seeking a psychologist only to have their own secrets unveiled, it was really too dramatic.

Many people around, some quietly calling the police.

The family of three had already pressed the elevator.

Li Shuning’s studio was in a secluded corner, with no stairs nearby. To use the stairs, one must go to the other side. However, surrounded by people, the family unfamiliar with the location couldn’t find the stairs and could only madly press the elevator.

The elevator arrived; the family walked inside. As the elevator doors closed, many people immediately called in, for human traffickers, everyone has zero tolerance.

Some even contacted the building’s security department to stop the elevator.

The environment here was still quite good; otherwise, Li Shuning wouldn’t have placed her studio here; the security was top-notch.

The elevator was stopped, security personnel guarded on the stopped floor, while police arrived in fifteen minutes, taking the family away.

Li Shuning was also invited to assist in the investigation.

Before leaving, Li Shuning subtly hinted to those carrying cameras that even if the news was leaked, it would never mention her or her studio.

After the investigation concluded, Li Shuning came out of the police station, still feeling a bit emotional. This seemingly honest middle-aged man was truly wicked, trafficking children and women, causing harm to numerous families.

Moreover, he sometimes even took his son along to commit heinous acts; retribution finally caught up to them.

Li Shuning did not get involved in the subsequent events, trusting the police to handle them properly.

Originally planning to take a taxi, she inexplicably boarded a bus. When she came back to her senses, she smiled wryly. It seems, after returning from the Task World without resting, she was about to re-enter it again?
