After leaving the Bai Family estate, Xiao Feng hailed a cab and headed straight for the Du Family.
This eting with Bai Huanyu turned out to be quite satisfactory for him.
Speaking from a general standpoint, even if Bai Huanyu doesn't agree to give him fifty million, how could he just sit by idly, watching the Devil's Concentration Camp make a move on the Bai Family?
Although he might indeed act that way because of his pride, it ultimately isn't in his own interest.
So, this fifty million is essentially a windfall.
Moreover, while leaving, Xiao Feng saw Miao Zhihui.
He had wanted to inform him about the morning's operation being canceled, but firstly there were people watching, and secondly, the counterpart might not even heed him, so he had to drop it.
Whether Bai Huanyu will fall for it, we'll just have to wait and see.
...
Upon arriving at the Bai Family, Xiao Feng was guided by the butler straight to the reception room.
"Xiao Feng, at last, you're here." Du Qingyun, seated at the principal position, got up to greet him.
Xiao Feng exchanged a few polite words before turning his gaze to Xue Nuofu: "How's the situation?"
"Jia Luo hasn't co out yet, how about on your end?"
"All good, quite smooth, Bai Huanyu agreed."
Upon hearing Xiao Feng ntion Bai Huanyu, Du Qingyun slightly furrowed his brow, yet sensibly chose not to probe further.
Over recent months, the Du Family and the Lanyue Group, in fact, have benefited significantly from Xiao Feng, which he was clearly aware of.
As the saying goes, "When you receive, you get constrained in speech; when you take, you get restrained in actions," whether Du Qingyun liked it or not, he could only turn a blind eye.
"You and Qingyue have been doing well lately, right?" Du Qingyun asked with a smile.
Xiao Feng nodded: "Everything's great, just been quite busy, haven't had ti to co see you."
"As long as you're well, it doesn't matter if you co see or not." Du Qingyun sighed and said, "Everything was fine, who knew things would turn out like this and now it's causing you trouble."
Before Xiao Feng could respond, footsteps were heard approaching from outside the reception room.
Jia Luo, led by a man in a suit, stepped in.
"Dr. Jia, thank you for your hard work." Du Qingyun said courteously, "Is my son and daughter-in-law having psychological issues?"
Jia Luo nodded: "You could say that."
"Then how should we treat it?"
Jia Luo pondered: "Your son and daughter-in-law's condition seems sowhat like they've been brainwashed.
Additionally, there's a chance they've been hypnotized by a professional psychologist.
Their behavior is akin to obsessive fans who, if their idol desires, would give everything—maybe even their lives."
"Is it that severe?" Xue Nuofu expressed disbelief.
Jia Luo glanced at him and said, "You might have heard the saying that all human actions are driven by brain commands.
If the brain is likened to a computer, their current situation is like having a virus implanted, which could lead to a crash or a freeze."
"We don't need to delve into the principles first, is there a solution?" Xiao Feng directly asked.
Jia Luo fell silent for a long while before speaking: "Solving this psychological condition can be easy yet hard.
As ntioned earlier, the patients behave like obsessive fans, incapable of perceiving their 'idol' with normal reasoning.
For those like this, as long as the 'idol's' image collapses, the issue resolves itself.
Unfortunately, I've tried several thods in succession, and they always avoid discussing their admired individual.
That's the difficulty I ntioned; to collapse the idol's image, you must first identify who the idol is."
"Apart from this approach, are there any other ans?" Xiao Feng inquired further.
Jia Luo nodded in response: "There are indeed other ways, but they co with certain risks, which are uncontrollable."
"Let's hear it." Xue Nuofu interjected.
Jia Luo took a deep breath and said, "My approach involves reprogramming them with brainwashing, then integrating hypnosis to forcibly alter their thinking.
The risk lies in, if the brainwashing isn't thorough enough to override the previous programming, it could lead the patients into self-conflict.
For instance, with this cup of tea, a normal person would drink it if they wanted or not if they didn't, without overthinking.
But in the patient's mind, it becos a complex issue that impacts their day-to-day activities."
Listening to these words, Xiao Feng and the others instantly felt the gravity of the situation.
The issue seed far graver than assud.
Thinking back to earlier years, seeing in news reports, those brainwashed by the "Chuanxiao" organization often rejoined after being rescued.
Among them, so knowingly engaged in deceitful recruiting to profit, but more held delusions about the brainwashing theories—'fools', if you will.
After a lengthy pause, Xiao Feng and the others all turned to Du Qingyun.
Since he shared the closest ties with Du Feixiang and others, he naturally should make the decision.
Old Master Du frowned and said, "Isn't there a more reliable thod?"
"Certainly." Jia Luo replied, "Using dication combined with guided correct thinking is a sowhat conservative thod, though slow in yielding results.
It might take several months or several years."
After contemplating for a long ti, Du Qingyun said, "Why not, just go with the conservative…"
Before he could finish speaking, a familiar voice ca from outside the door: "Father!"
Xiao Feng furrowed his brows, looked outside the door, and, as expected, saw Du Zhixiang entering with a bright smile.
Noticing Xiao Feng's presence, Du Zhixiang's smile quickly faded, and he snorted coldly: "Heard elder brother and sister-in-law are getting a divorce?"
"Who told you that?" Du Qingyun said grumpily.
"Doesn't matter who I heard it from, is it true?"
Du Qingyun retorted angrily: "So what if they are?
What if they're not?
Regardless, what does it have to do with you?"
"It certainly relates to !" Du Zhixiang grinned, "I heard elder brother wants to run away with that woman.
If he leaves, no one will be around to manage things here; I could conveniently step in."
"Dream on!" Du Qingyun slamd his hand down and shouted: "Even if I exhaust the Du Family resources, I'd never hand it over to you!"
"But if you don't pass it to , who are you going to give it to?" Du Zhixiang chuckled: "If you give it to , I'll find soone and strive to give you a big healthy grandson."
Fuming, Du Qingyun's mustache trembled violently, and he shouted: "Throw him out!"
Quickly, two security guards entered from outside, one on each side, and began escorting Du Zhixiang out.
"Wait!" Du Zhixiang sneered, "You don't agree now, soday you'll co begging ; then, don't bla for demanding excessively."
With that, he shrugged off the security guards' grasp, straightened his posture, and strode out of the reception room.
Du Qingyun slumped into his chair, panting heavily.
anwhile, Xiao Feng watched Du Zhixiang's departing silhouette, deep in thought…
