After the True Heiress Travels Back
Chapter 155: Forbidden Technique

Chapter 155: Chapter 155: Forbidden Technique

After confirming Shen Huan’s identity and knowing that there was nothing odd between him and Shi Yaoguang, and nearly getting beaten up for it, Chen Shu felt even more embarrassed.

Then he thought about it, he had spared Shen Huan a beating, so he straightened up with confidence.

"Even if I misunderstood you, you can’t blame me! After all, it was for you that I avoided a beating."

Shen Huan snorted, "You seem quite proud of yourself?"

Chen Shu pouted: "I helped you out of a disaster, and you don’t even thank me, but you can’t turn around and blame me, can you?"

Shen Huan chuckled coldly, "Wishful thinking."

Chen Shu promptly shut his mouth.

Isn’t it okay if he doesn’t talk anymore?

Seeing this, Shi Yaoguang turned to Jiu Yanchuan, "Captain Jiu, did you come to see me for something?"

When the topic turned to serious matters, Chen Shu retorted: "It was me who came to look for you!"

Chen Shu said with all seriousness: "I’ve come to ask you about an issue."

"What issue?"

"Do you know psychological treatment?"

"Psychological treatment?"

Shi Yaoguang raised an eyebrow, "Why come to me about psychological treatment?"

Chen Shu scratched his head: "Isn’t this because I trust you? You had a battle with Shi Yiqing and Yu Zhenzhen before, and although you proved that Yu Zhenzhen’s matter had nothing to do with you, who am I, huh?"

"With my intelligence, could I not notice such tricks? I could tell what it was all about at first glance."

Jiu Yanchuan glanced at him and without hesitation debunked him: "Are you sure you figured this out on your own?"

"Jiu Yanchuan!" Chen Shu glared at him, "No one would think you’re mute if you don’t talk."

Jiu Yanchuan: "I just don’t want to watch you boast."

Chen Shu: "... Fuck."

Jiu Yanchuan gave him a cold look, "Hmm?"

Chen Shu obediently closed his mouth.

Only then did Jiu Yanchuan take over and explain their reason for coming.

"The Director of the Paralysis Department at Anhe Hospital came to us, wanting to inquire about the strange disease their patients have contracted. Their tests show no problems, but the patients feel as though they no longer have legs..."

After explaining the background, Jiu Yanchuan added, "We checked the surveillance near that alley and saw that during that time period only you and Shen Huan appeared on camera, confirming that their stories were true..."

After finishing, Jiu Yanchuan’s gaze toward her sharpened: "Miss Shi, can you tell us what you did to them?"

Seeing that he skipped the questioning step, Shi Yaoguang didn’t beat around the bush and admitted directly: "I did it, I just gave them some mental suggestions."

"Mental suggestions?" Jiu Yanchuan’s eyes narrowed slightly: "You can actually do that!"

Shi Yaoguang raised her eyebrows, "What about it? Can’t accept that I can do it?"

Jiu Yanchuan stared at her for a moment before finally responding, "Yes."

A few seconds later, he explained, "Mental suggestions are considered an Advanced Attack Secret Technique, beyond the capability of ordinary people."

"To my knowledge, there are no more than a handful of people in the entire country capable of doing this."

Shi Yaoguang curved her lips, "No more than a handful? Apart from showing there are too few capable people, that proves nothing."

Jiu Yanchuan shook his head, his tone taking on a hint of gravity, "No."

"The reason why there are so few individuals who can perform mental suggestion isn’t that there are too few who learn it, but rather... the books that teach mental suggestion have now become forbidden."

As Jiu Yanchuan spoke, his tone was heavy, "I don’t know how you learned mental suggestion, but I need to remind you that it is not a skill that ordinary people can master."

Shi Yaoguang nodded and said to him, "Thank you for the reminder, I will be careful."

Shen Huan heard their conversation and felt some worry, "Mental suggestion has actually been classified as a forbidden technique? I want to know if her abilities are exposed, what kind of punishment will there be?"

"This is precisely what I wanted to mention," Jiu Yanchuan warned, "Over two decades ago, a top-level manager who held the lifelines of the nation’s economy was once subjected to mental suggestion."

"Because of that mental suggestion, he committed many irrational acts."

Chen Shu continued, "At the time, due to him, our country’s economy was on the verge of collapse. If it wasn’t for someone who also knew mental suggestion breaking the spell in the end, I fear our nation’s situation wouldn’t be as peaceful as it is now."

"In short, because of that incident, mental suggestion has been completely prohibited, except for certain individuals who can study these skills under the supervision of the upper levels, everyone else is not qualified to touch this taboo."

After hearing Jiu Yanchuan out, Shen Huan furrowed his brows deeply.

Shi Yaoguang and Hu Yijie had no recent grievances nor old resentments; it was because of him that she was forced to reveal that she could perform mental suggestion.

If the higher-ups wanted to punish Shi Yaoguang, he even had no way to do anything for her.

Thinking of this, Shen Huan couldn’t help but blame himself, "It’s all my fault; if it weren’t for me, you wouldn’t have..."

Before Shen Huan could finish, he was sharply interrupted by Chen Shu, "You must never say such things out loud!"

"Hm?" Shen Huan looked at him, not understanding.

Chen Shu lowered his voice and explained, "Only Jiu Yanchuan and I have seen the surveillance. Aside from us, nobody knows who is behind this mental suggestion."

"Moreover, with the medical level of Anhe Hospital’s doctors, they can’t even confirm whether this is mental suggestion."

"As long as we keep this matter hidden together, Shi Yaoguang won’t be affected."

Upon hearing this, Shen Huan immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Since Jiu Yanchuan allowed Chen Shu to reveal this plan, he was evidently agreeing with this course of action.

They had reached a consensus on their objectives, yet there was a snag with Shi Yaoguang.

Shi Yaoguang flatly refused, "No need to go through such trouble."

Chen Shu asked nervously, "What are you planning to do?"

"Mental suggestion isn’t some shameful secret that needs to be hidden away," Shi Yaoguang spoke with a forthright attitude, even after knowing that mental suggestion was a forbidden skill to learn.

Jiu Yanchuan, however, remained calm. Hearing her words, he didn’t show much surprise and simply asked, "What do you want to do?"

Instead of answering, Shi Yaoguang countered with a question, "After revealing my ability, surely someone from above will come looking for me, right?"

Jiu Yanchuan nodded.

Shi Yaoguang stated, "Since they are going to send someone, then it would be a good opportunity for me to negotiate terms with them."

Jiu Yanchuan instinctively felt it was unlikely, "They won’t be willing to just negotiate terms with anyone." If necessary, they would choose to destroy an individual with the potential to bring ruin to a nation.

Shi Yaoguang, however, curled her lips in confidence, "You said it yourself, they won’t just negotiate with anyone, but... do you see me as just anyone?"

Such a statement was indeed arrogant.

However, when faced with her bright eyes, Jiu Yanchuan found himself unable to offer a rebuttal.

Perhaps, she did have that capability.

Seeing that she had made up her mind, Shen Huan and Chen Shu found it difficult to persuade her further and could only pray in their hearts, hoping the outcome would be as they anticipated.
