Who would study psychology unless they had some issues?!

"Hello? Teacher Nan!"

Nan Zhubin's Micro-expression Analysis skill primarily enhances his ability to capture the micro expressions on the faces of others.

On the "values" aspect, it mainly strengthens his vision and thought processes.

However, as a Psychological Consultant, Nan Zhubin also has a certain awareness of "vocal emotions."

Coupled with long-term micro-expression observation and auditory attention, although Nan Zhubin still cannot precisely determine others' emotions just by listening, his related abilities have somewhat improved.

At least stronger than that of the average professional peer.

For instance, now, Nan Zhubin can tell from the sound through the phone that Xia Tian's call is not for casual conversation.

It's for discussing serious matters.

Thinking for a moment, Nan Zhubin replied, "Xia Tian, what's up?"

A sound came through the receiver, and Nan Zhubin listened, silently falling into thought.

After hanging up, he turned around and knocked on Bai Qinghua's gaming room door again.

At the same time, Bai Qinghua's phone also rang inside the room.

...

Consultation Company.

The central air conditioning diligently converted electricity into cool air, tirelessly driving away the scorching heat, as if to isolate the intense summer outside.

At the entrance, two receptionists were chatting and laughing. The full-time receptionist was talking to the summer vacation part-timer: "Our boss, who is also your Teacher Bai, took on a very handsome student last month—very handsome! You came at the right time!"

"Really?" The part-time receptionist's eyes brightened upon hearing this.

The full-time receptionist nodded: "And ever since this new apprentice arrived, the boss has come to the office more frequently. Previously, we might not even see him once a month, but now he comes at least once a week... Wait, someone's here."

The two receptionists were preparing to smile, but their expressions quickly froze.

Two women stepped in through the automatic door. They both wore badges on their chests, and the one leading was wearing a neatly tailored uniform resembling a suit, with a badge that looked like scales on her chest.

Court personnel.

Meng Ting had just visited the company not long ago, so the receptionist was familiar with court visitors.

However, circumstances vary, what if they were not here seeking collaboration but because the boss suddenly had something happen?

The receptionist quickly regained her professional composure, revealing a formulaic smile: "Hello, whom are you looking for?"

The girl without a uniform, only wearing a badge, quickly stepped forward and revealed a badge named "Xia Tian": "Hello. I'm looking for Teacher Bai Qinghua, he should be here, right? I contacted them by phone this morning."

The young girl's smile was quite infectious, so much so that the receptionist's smile involuntarily softened a bit.

However, the receptionist steadied herself: "Please wait, I'll go confirm."

She left the part-time student, hearing the click-clack of her high heels as she ran inside.

A moment later, she returned, with her smile once again softening, completely returning to the professional appearance of ordinary days: "The boss invites you in."

Xia Tian nodded, and suddenly asked, "Is Teacher Nan also here?"

The receptionist's smile immediately vanished.

Xia Tian already knew the answer, her infectious expression growing even stronger. But this time, the receptionist didn't feel it. She stiffly guided Xia Tian and her companion to the boss's office, opened the door, where inside sat Nan Zhubin and Bai Qinghua facing the desk.

This time, the uniformed official was quicker to step forward than Xia Tian, cleared her throat, first approached to shake hands with Bai Qinghua, then pulled out a document from her briefcase: "Professor Bai, a pleasure. We spoke on the phone this morning, we've come to seek some evidence. If possible, we would also like to invite you to attend our court session as an expert witness, here are the related documents..."

...

Seeing the situation, Nan Zhubin got up and offered the guest chair at the table to the court visitor.

The adults were discussing serious matters at the table, so Nan Zhubin looked around, gesturing for Xia Tian to sit on the sofa meant for casual conversations.

He first used Bai Qinghua's teapot to fill the cups for the host and guest at the table, then took out two additional paper cups, filling them up.

He handed one of those to Xia Tian.

Sitting close together on the sofa, Nan Zhubin whispered, "Does this have anything to do with me?"

"It definitely does, we'll have to trouble Teacher Nan again this time," Xia Tian nodded, "after all, Nan Zhihao is your visitor, and—"

The crime syndicate that defrauded Nan Zhihao has been caught.

This was the news Xia Tian had told Nan Zhubin that morning.

And they were caught long ago.

The case reportedly went through a lengthy process in the Prosecutor's office and was finally set to be heard in the court where Xia Tian works.

This is because most of the victims are reportedly from their jurisdiction.

"Wait." Nan Zhubin suddenly blinked. He wasn't surprised that Xia Tian knew Nan Zhihao was consulting with him; a smart girl could have guessed it.

Nan Zhubin was recalling his scant legal knowledge: "From arrest to trial, there should be a lengthy process here, right? So, if this group is really the one that deceived my visitor, then the timeline is rather intriguing... When were they caught?"

Xia Tian smiled without a word: "I can't say, Teacher Nan, not even to you. But what can be confirmed is—the evidence is solid."

"And because of the particularly egregious nature of the case, it's said..." Xia Tian glanced towards the adults and lowered her voice, "this group defrauded many veterans, who were fellow villagers and comrades in arms."

"So alongside following strict procedures, progress has been relatively swift."

Xia Tian said, "So now, in collecting evidence, we're striving for thoroughness. Also, because the court learned that Nan Zhihao was consulting with you, they thought of investigating 'the psychological trauma of the victims' to see if there's any new evidence. If so, then you might have to appear in court, Teacher Nan..."

Nan Zhubin nodded in understanding.

A case of egregious fraud, a public prosecution case, naturally leads law enforcement agencies to actively seek all related evidence.

Just as Nan Zhubin was deep in thought, Xia Tian suddenly remembered something: "Oh, Teacher Nan, you need to be careful."

Nan Zhubin looked up and blinked: "Why, am I in danger? Will the accomplices of the criminals target me?"

Xia Tian laughed at being teased: "No, of course not... It's the other victims. Some of them have apparently hired a very good lawyer, and somehow they heard that Nan Zhihao is consulting with you, so I think they might look for you at some point."
