Return of the Antagonistic Lady Boss

Chapter 872: Chapter 846: Qian Displays Her Professional Prowess Again

You have to know how introverted Minglang is; he’s never done something like this outside before, so full of warmth and encouragement.

”Mom, go for it! You’re the best!” Panpan gave a thumbs-up gesture to Dayi. Dayi smiled at her son and then gazed deeply at her husband. She was determined to fight hard to win honor back for Qian!

Better to die standing than to live kneeling. Victory without a fight is not worthy of Qian.

And not worthy of her husband’s silent support!

Dayi looked at Minglang, meeting his trusting eyes, and the fire of her love burned not just for Qian, but for the trust of the man she loved!

”Even if I can’t be a shining moon like Qian, I want to be a dazzling star. There’s only one Qian in the world, and there’s only one me!”

Minglang nodded, ”Yes, by saying these words, you’ve already won half the battle.”

Dayi stepped through the unknown door for the first time, feeling the weight of the responsibility on her shoulders.

At this moment, Qian was still relentlessly employing her psychological tactics on the bad guy.

Under the guise of her seemingly aimless conversation, the villain’s emotions gradually loosened.

”Come out, it’s really too hot in there. Maybe a breeze can blow away your troubles; the discomfort will float away with the wind.”

Xiaoqian’s voice was a bit hoarse; the intense mental strain and hot weather had caused her recently healed throat to start showing signs of pain again.

Nobody understood better than she did the professional subtleties behind her seemingly casual talk.

There were still onlookers around, some of whom were even whispering about replacing her, criticizing the negotiation expert as unprofessional, wondering why she wasn’t asking the bad guy what he wanted but was instead talking about the weather!

But at this crucial moment, a miracle happened.

As the slightly opened car door revealed a small gap,

the bad guy poked his head out and asked Xiaoqian,

”Is what you’re saying true? Can the wind really blow away my troubles?”

”The wind is the best cure in the world. Come out, and everything will be fine. Follow my voice, step out...”

The door slowly opened; the bad guy moved very slowly, and the onlookers dared not utter a word.

The waiting process was so long; with every inch the door opened, the hearts of the people on site were pulled tighter.

”Increase your hand movement, can you feel the summer breeze? Yes, step forward to a new beginning, one step, two steps...”

In Xiaoqian’s increasingly suggestive voice, the bad guy surprisingly stepped down from the van, moving one meter, two meters away!

And he gradually got closer to Xiaoqian, who could even see the knife he held. The bloodstains on it had dried.

Suddenly, Lin Ze Guang’s men and Yu Minglang rushed in, and before the bad guy could react, the knife was already snatched from his hand, and he was pinned and controlled!

The scene went silent for a few seconds, followed by cheers and applause.

Xiaoqian let out a long breath—success!

She grabbed the loudspeaker and addressed the onlookers.

”I heard your discussions just now, and I’ll explain why I didn’t follow the steps you usually see on TV.”

Xiaoqian had already reverted to standard Mandarin by this time; the earlier Hong Kong and Taiwan accent was just to win the villain’s trust.

The scene quieted again as Xiaoqian began to explain.

”He was in a hysteria-induced state, a mental illness state where emotions can get out of control, sometimes leading to hallucinations and overly aggressive behavior similar to schizophrenia. The best way to deal with such a state is to suggest thoughts to him since he easily accepts suggestions. Bad suggestions might cause extreme behavior. If I kept asking him about his problems or needs, he would dwell on negative thoughts, easily leading to extremes. I was using professionalism to suggest thoughts to him.”

The crowd erupted again, not really understanding the professional part, but it seemed quite impressive!

Even the arriving TV station filmed the scene, instantly turning Xiaoqian into a hero.

Those who had just scorned her lack of professionalism were suddenly indoctrinated by Qian, feeling excited and passionate, witnessing the most professional negotiation of a psychological expert. They couldn’t wait to boast about it to their friends and family!

But at this moment, Xiaoqian didn’t care about the boring discussions of those people. She approached the bad guy, whose gaze was still blank. Xiaoqian waved her hand in front of his eyes.

”Follow my finger, you’ll feel very light, very tired... sleep now...”

Patients with this condition have no fixed object of fantasy but are very prone to suggestion.

The bad guy’s eyes gradually closed, and the surrounding people, witnessing this miraculous scene, were astonished!

The father of that mentally unstable man stepped forward, crying bitterly for his son, who was being taken away.

At this time, the medical team had rushed to the van, rescuing the hostages. One little girl was terrified, and another had been stabbed. Fortunately, the wound was on the arm, and there was no blood vessel damage or massive bleeding, so her life was not at risk.

Xiaoqian checked the time—it was about right, and she still had time to get to the competition.

If it hadn’t been for this small incident on the way, she would have already arrived at the competition venue. But Xiaoqian felt it was all worth it.

Yu Minglang approached and patted her shoulder.

”Wife, you really brought honor to our family, great performance!”

He always knew his wife could handle it, and indeed, she performed excellently, brilliantly~

Xiaoqian wasn’t surprised to see him coming over, squinting at him teasingly, ”Look at that tacky red checkmark shirt you’re wearing, bringing all sorts of trouble to me. I’ve got to get to the match—don’t pick out clothes like this for me again in the future—”

”Daughter, are you okay!” The father of the unharmed hostage rushed to the van; his daughter was the unharmed one, now being helped down, her legs going weak.

”Dad!” The girl, not even twenty, burst into tears at the sight of her father, having been truly terrified earlier.

The woman with the stabbed arm howled in pain, but upon seeing Yu Minglang, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she stopped wailing, running towards him while clutching her wounded arm.

Her speed and voice were astonishing, like she hadn’t just escaped danger, sprinting as if she were a bee spotting a flower, or a fly spotting, uh, ptui!

”Savior!”

Xiaoqiang turned his head, sensing a massive object lunging towards him, instinctively dodging to the side. Immediately, two people emerged from behind him, holding back the hefty girl.

Xiaoqian was speechless, it’s her again.
