Who would study psychology unless they had some issues?! Chapter 741 640: You Shouldn't Have Made This Call Right Now

The conversation between Nan Zhubin and Xia Tian was not intentionally muted, and Teacher Black Circle in the sa office could basically hear it.

This put him in a state of turmoil.

It's hard to say if Nan Zhubin was deliberately hinting to Teacher Black Circle to prepare himself.

However, before any so-called "preparation" could begin, Professor Ji's call had already reached Teacher Black Circle's phone.

In a state of panic, Teacher Black Circle instinctively followed Weng Pinting's instructions, answered the call, and put it on speaker.

"Hello? Teacher, you're awake, that's great..."

On the other end was a weak, but cold and hard voice.

"Zhiheng..." The voice ca through the speaker, although weak from illness, it still carried a condescending scrutiny.

Teacher Black Circle had a stray thought in his mind at this mont — has the teacher finally rembered my na?

"Little Jiao told you went to look for Bai Qinghua and the others?" As expected, Professor Ji's next words went straight to the point.

Teacher Black Circle's throat felt a bit dry, he struggled to make his voice sound calm, with a flicker of hope inside: "Teacher, didn't you previously tell to follow Junior Zhu Ren, especially to observe his on-site intervention skills, thinking there might be... sothing worth learning from?"

He tried to justify his actions with the guise of Professor Ji's previous instructions: "Now their group is fully responsible for the [Group Hysteria] project, I didn't want our group to fall too far behind, so..."

Unsurprisingly, his words were imdiately interrupted: "They are fully responsible for the [Group Hysteria] project? You... cough cough cough!"

A series of coughs ca from the other end of the phone, each one felt like a heavy blow on Teacher Black Circle's chest.

At the sa ti, sothing that had been suppressed since the beginning of the call was also released.

"Did I tell you to go to them now? Did I say we are still working on this project? What do you an by going to Bai Qinghua's project group at this ti?!!"

The volu through the microphone was so loud that it distorted, and the hysterical voice left Teacher Black Circle bewildered.

Nan Zhubin and Xia Tian exchanged a glance, shaking their heads — just as expected.

Before Teacher Black Circle could react, Professor Ji's voice rose another level. Accompanied by continuous coughing, it was hard to imagine his body, after a day's ordeal, could still support such a level of sustained output: "Hei Zhiheng! Are you confused about who you are? Are you rolling up your sleeves to work as an underling for others?!"

In fact, he wasn't wrong. In another context, this might show that Professor Ji was clear-headed and wise.

But with his current mood and hysteria, it only made him seem more pathological.

The young people listening in the room all frowned, showing expressions of ears and brains being disturbed.

"You are my student, representing the level and stance of our team! By ddling like this, how do you think others will see us? Huh? Think we have no one in our group? Or think the students I taught have to go elsewhere to learn real things?! I — cough cough cough!"

Professor Ji's tone beca increasingly severe, and although the logic still clung tightly to academic identity and team stance, the deeper-seated issues were becoming harder to conceal — or rather, they were completely exposed.

"Teacher, I didn't an that..." Teacher Black Circle seized the opportunity during Professor Ji's coughing to finally explain a bit, "I just thought this was a rare opportunity to be at the forefront..."

"Opportunity?!" Professor Ji abruptly interrupted him, "What opportunity? The opportunity to betray your school? This is academic misconduct, do you know that! Don't forget where your academic registry is! Do you still want to graduate?"

These words drastically changed Teacher Black Circle's complexion.

Even though he had considered many severe consequences beforehand, he hadn't expected his ntor to bring up academic registry as if it were the Five Finger Mountain trapping him.

"Teacher, I..."

"Enough!" Professor Ji's voice beca sharp with agitation, turning into a stark threat, "I don't want to hear your excuses! I now order you, as your ntor, to imdiately cease all work related to them and return to your rightful position! Recognize who you are and know what you should be doing now!"

…

These words were no longer about academic guidance, but pure power suppression and emotional venting.

Bai Qinghua took a sip of tea and sighed: "Old Ji..."

Then he turned his gaze to Weng Pinting.

Bai Qinghua naturally understood that his senior disciple had her reasons for keeping this outsider.

Besides adding another worker to her team, finding a little brother for Nan Zhubin, and having so fun to watch in the future, "sending a student from the opposing project group to our door" offered nurous opportunities to maneuver.

But as an educator, he certainly couldn't allow the power struggles and academic confrontations to crush a student.

So Bai Qinghua signaled to Weng Pinting: You decided to keep him, and even if you plan to make sothing out of it later, you can't stand by and watch the young fellow suffer now, can you?

Step in and lend a hand.

Weng Pinting naturally nodded and stepped forward, ready to speak—

"Teacher Wong, could I handle this?" At that mont, Xia Tian, standing beside Nan Zhubin, suddenly stepped forward.

She was upset, partly because her conversation with Nan Zhubin had been interrupted;
