Don't Lie to Your Therapist—She Already Knows Your Fate

Gagged and bound, Hou Yaojun watched the scene unfold, his eyes growing bloodshot. He desperately wanted to tell them that it wasn’t the woman’s own power!

It was the Fox Immortal’s!

That woman was a fraud.

But clearly, he wasn’t going to get the chance.

The people who had bound him and Hou Yaowen were no ordinary individuals.

Even ordinary officials wouldn’t dare treat the Hou Family this way.

Mr. Ye was slightly more familiar with Wen Ying. He looked at her in admiration. "Doctor Wen, you’re becoming more and more unfathomable."

"It’s just a little trick."

"Doctor Wen, was that telekinesis? I’ve heard of it before, and they always say it requires profound Inner Strength, but I’ve never seen it in person. Now that I’ve seen you do it, Doctor Wen, I..."

The speaker suddenly trailed off.

For telekinesis, the object being retrieved is usually something everyone can see.

But as for the Flame Wood Carving Doctor Wen had just summoned, none of them had seen where it was.

So, could it really be called telekinesis?

"I’m just a psychologist. What would I know about telekinesis?" Wen Ying explained with a smile.

Xu Jiali silently turned her back, muttering under her breath, ’They can’t see me, they can’t see me, they can’t see me.’

What had happened today was more absurd than anything she had ever witnessed in her entire life.

She had figured it out—Doctor Wen was definitely not an ordinary person!

The men who had arrived and seized the two young masters of the Hou family without a word were even less ordinary. And yet, Doctor Wen was chatting and laughing with them.

The two men even seemed very respectful toward Doctor Wen.

’Now that I know so many secrets, will they let me live?’

’I’m just a nobody, a tiny, insignificant person. All I want is to make a living. Why are the heavens toying with me like this?’ 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

’I want to cry, but I don’t dare.’

"Doctor Wen, and she is?"

The two men glanced in Xu Jiali’s direction.

"A friend. We’re going to film a show together."

Once everything was settled, the two young masters of the Hou family were led away, and the men they had brought with them were taken away by the mysterious group’s people as well.

Once they were in the car, the gags were finally ripped from their mouths.

Hou Yaowen, ever the hothead, immediately started shouting, "Who the hell are you people! Do you have any idea who I am? I’m Hou Yaowen of the Hou family! You kidnapped me, colluding with that female streamer... isn’t it just for money?! How much do you want? Name your price! Just let me go, and I’ll have the money transferred to you immediately!"

Old Ye glanced at Hou Yaowen. "So you’re the son the Hou family took in two years ago? You’ve really been spoiled rotten."

"Who are you calling spoiled? Who the hell do you think you are to talk to me like that?"

"One more word and I’ll stuff your own stinky socks in your mouth!"

Seeing that the two men’s ferocity was no act, Hou Yaowen instantly clammed up and started trembling.

’Are these guys after money, or my life?’

’They can’t be planning to kill me, right?’

Hou Yaowen shot a pitiful look at Hou Yaojun, but Hou Yaojun was in no mood to deal with him.

"Gentlemen," Hou Yaojun began, "you’re so respectful toward Doctor Wen because of the one she’s holding, aren’t you?"

Hou Yaojun deliberated for a moment before asking his question.

"The one Doctor Wen was holding?"

Old Ye couldn’t help but wonder, ’What was Doctor Wen holding?’

He thought and thought, and then he seemed to remember. ’A fox doll?’

’So this Hou Yaojun thinks that fox doll is something special?’

’His wits don’t seem to match our intel.’

Old Ye turned and gave them a suspicious look. "Are you two feeling all right in the head?"

’It would be difficult to explain later if something was wrong with them.’

"Isn’t it because of the Great Immortal Doctor Wen was holding?"

Hou Yaojun asked again, seeking confirmation.

He thought he could see it in their eyes. ’Do they not know about the Fox Immortal’s existence?’

’That settles it. They’ve definitely been fooled by that woman, Wen Ying!’

"Sirs, you’ve really been tricked by that Doctor Wen! She has no real power at all!"

The two men listened to him, their expressions seemingly full of pity.

"I know you must think she’s amazing, that she can even do things no human can. But that’s all because she has the Fox Immortal! That fox doll she was holding isn’t a doll at all—it’s the Fox Immortal! She told me so herself!"

"Bro, what Fox Immortal?" Hou Yaowen was completely lost.

"The thing that made you piss your pants in fear!"

Hou Yaowen’s composure faltered. "Bro, what nonsense are you spouting? Wasn’t that just a hallucination?"

Hou Yaojun shot him a glare before turning back to the two men. "Sirs, I’m really not lying to you! That Fox Immortal didn’t just talk, it hit people! Look, the claw marks on my brother’s face and mine haven’t even faded yet! And that woman with Doctor Wen, what’s her name... Xu Jiali, she was there too! The Fox Immortal spoke right in front of all of us! My driver heard it too and was so scared he almost crashed the car!"

Hou Yaojun watched the two men, but he wasn’t getting the reaction he’d hoped for.

’Do they still not believe me?’

’Why is there no reaction even after hearing about the Fox Immortal?’

"Sirs, just think about it! Doctor Wen is an ordinary person. Where would she get those kinds of abilities? It’s all the Fox Immortal helping her!"

In reality, things were completely different from what Hou Yaojun imagined.

When Old Ye and the other man heard Hou Yaojun’s words, they didn’t disbelieve him. Instead, it suddenly felt like things should be this way.

’How could someone as incredible as Doctor Wen not have something even more incredible with her?’

Even if that something was one of those legendary household gods from the Northeast.

A flicker of shock passed through their minds, but they didn’t let it show.

They felt a pang of regret, wishing they had taken a better look at the Fox Immortal.

"Alright, we get it. Stop talking. You know your own family’s business best. When the time comes, a full confession might get you a lighter sentence. Don’t even think about trying to pull any strings. That will only make your family fall faster."

Hou Yaojun was stunned.

’This scenario was playing out so differently from how he’d imagined!’

"How about ten million? Just let me contact my family."

"What’s the rush? You’ll have a family reunion in due time."

"Fifty million?"

No one paid him any mind.

"Brother! Why are you still being so stingy at a time like this! Offer a hundred million! This is my life we’re talking about!"

"..."

’Such a useless teammate, more of a hindrance than a help.’

"One hundred million!" Hou Yaojun said, gritting his teeth.

A hundred million was a huge sum. It was the absolute limit of what he could get his hands on by himself.

"Alright, enough of that. Does Hou Yaowen know his place in your family?"

"Me?" Hou Yaowen didn’t understand what this stranger, who had appeared out of nowhere, was getting at. "What about my position? Are you trying to get money from me? Mom and Dad spoil me rotten and give me endless spending money, but I’ve already spent it all. If you want cash, you should ask him."

Hou Yaojun pointed at Hou Yaojun.

"Heh, interesting."
