"Can we take another picture?"
Gu Xinglan opened her eyes and looked at the person opposite her.
If this person agrees to his first request, there's a chance they'll agree to his second.
Taking a group photo is a request that goes beyond the bounds.
He didn't know if he would ever encounter this suspect again, so he had to obtain as much information about this person as possible.
"it is good."
The man naturally took out his phone and took a picture.
In the photo, Gu Xinglan is smiling brightly and giving a thumbs up, while the person next to her only shows half of their face.
After the suspect left, Gu Xinglan immediately sent a message asking if the other party could send over the group photo, but the message seemed to disappear without a trace.
Sunlight gradually emerged from the mountaintop.
The birds were chirping and chattering.
Gu Xinglan has several broken ribs.
I was so excited yesterday that I didn't feel any pain at all. Now that I've recovered, I feel like I'm about to die.
After resting for more than half a month and missing many school training sessions and competitions, I was discharged from the hospital on the day of my discharge.
Apart from his counselor, no one came to see him, including his roommates.
When he returned to school, he learned that rumors had circulated about him hanging out off-campus and getting involved with the wrong groups.
The rumors started from who-knows-where.
Anyway, the social interactions on campus have calmed down.
Until the day I prepared for my internship in my senior year.
Normally, the fall recruitment season is in September, but he received an invitation in June.
Upon seeing the name "Li Shi," Gu Xinglan nearly jumped up.
"Holy crap, holy crap—" A task subject delivered right to my doorstep.
This matter was not kept from Captain Jiang, and Gu Xinglan secretly made a phone call directly.
[You mean... the company specifically sent you an internship invitation?] The tone on the other end of the phone sounded a little strange.
"Mmm!" Gu Xinglan nodded like a chick pecking at rice, completely unaware of anything, her mind already wandering far away.
Young people in their twenties are at the prime of their lives, a time for adventure and exploration.
He was already planning to gather evidence of Lai Ho-tai's crimes, rid the people of this scourge, and earn high praise and a promotion from his superiors, quickly rising to prominence in the police force and becoming a role model for young officers! Many members of the public even spontaneously presented him with banners of appreciation!
Thinking of all this, Gu Xinglan's blood boiled instantly.
Yes, that's how it should be! We must bring the bad guys to justice!
On the day of her appointment, Gu Xinglan put on a white coat and a Li family work ID, and had a large office all to herself.
This is not the treatment an intern should receive.
The more beautiful the imagination, the crueler the reality.
After the Li family brought him in, they seemed to have forgotten about him. They waited until the first snow of the year was about to fall outside the window.
"Has President Li forgotten about me?"
Gu Xinglan went to the front desk countless times to inquire, but the information she received was always, "We will call Mr. Gu when needed."
His situation here is very limited. His every move is being monitored. He works twelve hours a day and often has to work overtime. Even Captain Jiang no longer contacts him. Every time they try to reach him, he is either working overtime or on his way to work overtime.
The Li family is a large company. After an employee suffered a freefall due to psychological problems, the company established a psychological department.
He didn't see any suspects here. Instead, the company was packed with employees, none of whom were there for proper psychological counseling. They were just slacking off, and some even asked him to do spreadsheets.
After three months, Gu Xinglan was exasperated and went to the human resources department to resign.
He realized that this company was not Li Hetai's headquarters at all, but just a subsidiary in name only. He couldn't even see Li Hetai here.
We can't just wait idly; we have to take the initiative.
After resigning, Gu Xinglan found the company email address and sent a letter to headquarters.
[Mr. Li, since you had the company contact me to act as a psychologist, why didn't you even come to my office to see me?]
There's a kind of innocent naiveté in him, like that of a college student.
This email address will most likely be lost forever.
The first thing Gu Xinglan did upon returning to her rented apartment was to contact Captain Jiang.
After he finished explaining his resignation, the voice on the other end of the line was somewhat cold: "[Why didn't you contact me first before making a decision?]"
Gu Xinglan replied in a serious tone, "Captain Jiang, if I stay at that company, not only will I be unable to contact you, but I won't even be able to obtain any information about the suspect. What's the difference between that and me just going to any company for an internship?"
"Captain Jiang, give me half a month, I can do it."
For the next two weeks, Gu Xinglan staked out the Li Group headquarters like a paparazzi, keeping a close watch on everything.
Finally, he discovered a point outside the pattern.
There was a psychologist who had been in and out of the Li family headquarters several times.
He took his resume and went to the mental health clinic where the doctor worked.
After the routine interview, the interviewer picked up his paper resume.
"...The resume is quite good, hmm? The Li family? From a big company, what brings you here?"
Gu Xinglan chuckled awkwardly, "They want experience; I'm only good for odd jobs."
Upon hearing this, the person who reviewed his resume looked at him with some skepticism before adjusting his glasses and smiling, "We'll let you know about the interview later. Please wait patiently for the news."
The internship news came in less than two weeks. Gu Xinglan was busy working with an old psychologist and his senior.
This senior colleague was someone who had been in and out of the Li family company several times.
"Big companies aren't easy to work for either. From ordinary employees to department heads, everyone has some kind of mental health issue. I just went there the day before yesterday, and he went crazy again today. The company is holding back his resignation process, and his condition is getting worse. You're lucky you came to our clinic. Those company clinics are useless; they're wasting your talent. You absolutely mustn't go there..."
The eldest brother kept glancing at his watch as he walked, rushing around, yet he still had time to chat with him.
This is the sixth time that the eldest brother has come to headquarters.
This was his first time as an intern.
The headquarters of the Li family was much larger than the subsidiaries he had worked for before; they were on completely different levels.
Office area.
"Dr. Yang, President Li requests your presence."
The secretary took the elevator here specifically.
"He's already showing signs of somatization, why aren't you letting him go?" Yang Wen was truly baffled.
What kind of ridiculous project requires completion before releasing people? It's like treating people like machines!
"It was his own choice. He can leave whenever he wants once the project is completed."
The patient's hands trembled as Yang Wen massaged him, his eyes fixed on the computer screen, his eyeballs almost bulging out of their sockets. He kept repeating, "Yes...it was my own choice...it was my own choice..."
This boss is absolutely heartless!
Yang Wen was really annoyed. "But you have to be mindful of the time for a massage. I'm busy right now, junior brother, you go upstairs."
"Roger that!"
Gu Xinglan seemed to share Yang Wen's indignation, putting the pen behind her ear and rolling up her sleeves as if she were about to go up and fight.
This senior fellow student is also a master of traditional Chinese massage. Coincidentally, he spends two or three hours every day learning massage from this person, and now it's finally coming in handy.
"..." The secretary fell silent, looking Gu Xinglan up and down.
“My junior brother is no less capable. President Li only booked fifteen minutes, and he couldn’t even do a regular massage. A massage would be fine. If that doesn’t work, I’ll go upstairs.”
Yang Wen is giving another patient a massage.
If you can't find relief mentally, you can only seek relief through external means.
Gu Xinglan stretched her arms and secretly exhaled.
Here comes that thrilling, adrenaline-pumping feeling of preparing to approach a suspect face-to-face.
"Mr. Li, it's Dr. Yang's junior colleague who's here."
There was a knock on the door.
Behind the office was a hidden, huge lounge area with bookshelves lining the walls. Gu Xinglan even slowed down her walking pace, her eyes quickly scanning the space.
On the two-meter-wide bed, a person was lying with his back to him, only his lower body covered by a bath towel.
The key is to expose the back.
There were crisscrossing flesh-colored scars that extended into the bath towel below, and then disappeared from sight.
