Shen Yao went in first with the doctor while Fu Ci waited outside. Shen Yao played his part well and immediately went into character.
"Doctor, it's like this. My lover and I had a disagreement because he saw me with a lady I took out. Now he's clamoring to break up with me and I only managed to trick him here because I promised he would get a reasonable explanation if he follows me here. He might still have a bit of trust in me so he agreed. But there is nothing to explain. I was indeed with that lady. And many other ladies but that person outside, I can't let him go. He looks very much like my first love who died. The thought of someone with that same face being with a person other than me doesn't sit right with me. I asked around for a long time before I was able to get recommended to you. "
The doctor smiled so hard his eyes crinkled at the corner. He liked these kinds of customers the most. They had the money and his safety was guaranteed as he held their handle in his hands, they wouldn't want anything to happen to him.
"Well then what exactly do you want me to do for you?"
Shen Yao pretended to be confused
"Can you make him think he can't live without me? Also, it's good to make him feel like there's nothing wrong no matter how many other people he sees me with"
"This is a bit difficult. It seems easy on the surface but as the person planting the suggestion, it will task my mind and might take a toll on my body–"
As an experienced person, Shen Yao immediately put on an anxious expression
"What do you want? Whether money or properties I can give them to you. If you're worried about affecting your body, I can give you more than enough money to last you three lifetimes. You can directly retire after this and live a leisurely life."
The doctor acted out a drama of hesitation with both of them pulling and pushing while gaining more benefits for himself, then he 'reluctantly' agreed.
"I'll take on this case because your story touches me"
Shen Yao almost couldn't help cursing out loud. Such high sounding words. From that touching story, he was clearly an out and out scumbag. But he still smiled gratefully.
"Thank you. I'll remember this favor. "
The doctor nodded reservedly
"It's okay. Let's go find your lover"
Shen Yao hesitated and the doctor looked back at him. He scratched his head and cleared his throat, his eyes looking about erratically
"Can I ask you something else doctor?"
"Go ahead."
"Is there any way to make a person change their personality? Maybe make a good student turn to partying or a smart person unable to study at all. It would be best if that person feels some kind of pain whenever they want to study or something like that"
The doctors eyes became sharp
"Why do you ask that?"
"Well I have an illegitimate younger brother. He seems to be very smart and my father is always praising his everywhere. I don't find him pleasing to the eye and it will be too troublesome to do anything to him so I just decided to ask by the way. It's okay if you can't do anything. I didn't hold out much hope anyways. I also know that it shouldn't be as easy to tamper with the memory of those young and hot blooded children."
By now, the doctors suspicious had been completely cleared. He laughed boisterously.
"I'm not supposed to tell you this but there was a case many years ago. It was a child who was said to extremely smart. I gave him a psychological suggestion to feel pain whenever he tries to read or study. Till date, there hasn't been any complaints. Funny enough, the people who brought him were his parents. They didn't say much but the lady said something that particular stuck with me. She said; we already have one smart child, There's no need for another. It must've been sibling rivalry between an older and younger sibling and the parents took the side of the older sibling and decided to cut off the roots."
Shen Yao had an expression of awe but inside he was raging. This was completely unethical and against the rules of their line if work. This person had absolutely no bottom line
"I didn't know it was actually possible. After we finish with the person outside, I'll find time to bring that little bastard here. I look forward to our future cooperation"
Shen Yao walked out of the office and held open the door for the man with a smile.
The moment he came out, he was handcuffed by a policeman who said expressionlessly.
"You are under arrest for medical malpractice, professional misconduct and accessory to murder. You have the right to remain silent because whatever you say or do will be used against you in the court of law"
The doctor immediately panicked but kept a calm facade.
"Is there a misunderstanding here? I'm a law abiding citizen "
No one paid any attention to him and the police dragged him out. He turned back and looked at Shen Yao and Fu Ci hatefully.
"It's all you two right? Officers I was framed! They are in cahoots."
Fu Ci walked forward and had to stop himself from hitting the person in the face
"The boy who feels pain everytime he studies, that's my younger brother. Currently the founder and CEO of Lian. Your tricks still weren't able to stop him"
The doctor was stunned and this gave the police a chance to take him away.
While investigating the man, they found out the police was also looking for him. He had been involved in several cases where the person hypnotized would commit suicide under various circumstances. After finding that out, they decided to work with the police.
Shen Yao first milked s confession out of him and then the police could take him away.
Fu Ci sighed wearily and Shen Yao patted his shoulder.
"It's okay. It's all over now"
On the other side, Fu Ling monitored all this through the system and gave a satisfied smile. There's no doubt Mother Fu and Father Fu would not be spared so he could rest assured. He didn't want to stay and watch anymore. It was too boring.
He went to the familiar tombstone and placed down a flower.
"Gu Lian, it's me again. I already came this week but I'm coming again to tell you I'll come join you soon. Everything is over so there's no need for me to keep staying here. Luo Xing Jie and Yu Jiahao are both in prison and won't be coming out anytime soon, the Yu and Luo families have completely disappeared from the public eyes, Wen Ting —aborted the baby. I don't know how she's doing after that, it's none of my business. Lian is now a household name. Everyone knows you. I also didn't leave out the people who bullied me. They'll get their own retribution soon. Wei Hong Yi is married now. He has a little daughter. I did a little charity. Hopefully, it will help some people live a better life. I didn't miss anything did I? Oh well, you should remember it all anyways. That's it. I'll come find you now. "
Later that evening, Wei Hong Yi found Fu Ling's body. He wanted to cry but had no tears. But at the same time he couldn't help feeling it was for the best. At least now they're together instead of Fu Ling living like a ghost everyday.
According to the doctor, he died a natural death. But Wei Hong Yi felt he died of heartbreak.
When his will was read, Fu Ci inherited 'Lian' but on the condition that the name could never change and it would keep funding all those poor students. Wei Hong Yi's daughter got %10 equity and instantly became the world's richest toddler.
When she was older, Wei Hong Yi took his family to their graves.
"Say hello to your uncles Fu Ling and Gu Lian."
His wife held his arm as his little girl said shyly
"Hello uncles."
The wind blew and a flower fell from a branch and landed right on her shoulder.
Wei Hong Yi smiled with tears in his eyes muttering under his breath
"Be happy in your next life my friend"
