Chapter 509 Your Secret Has Been Exposed

While Ai Liang and the others were returning home, at Chuck's house on the other side of the city...

Completely unaware of the trouble that was about to come, Peng Yuan was still idly fiddling with Chuck's equipment.

Chuck was busy with foreign trade work and didn't focus on the main project since he didn't have classes on the weekend. Yesterday, he was spotted by Ai Liang while scouting locations.

He couldn't find much to do right now, so he could only come to Chuck's room to familiarize himself with the equipment and pass the time.

Peng Yuan sat on the balcony, focusing his eyes to observe the surrounding scenery.

Every now and then, he would use strange objects in his hands to disrupt the subconscious of passersby, causing them to bump into him.

Peng Yuan is practicing using strange objects.

However, most people practice on small animals first, but he went straight to using people.

The main reason is that Peng Yuan has a strong adaptability and does not need to gradually adapt to the corrosive effects of the strange phenomena.

Peng Yuan himself was completely immersed in the pleasure of manipulating others.

Chuck was still the same as always, hunched over his computer, handling foreign trade matters.

After more than a week of running around, he met with the purchasing managers from all parties and established contact.

We are currently processing specific reports and plans.

One was practicing using strange abilities, and the other was handling foreign trade work; neither of them bothered the other.

Until a phone call rang.

Chuck glanced at the caller ID and answered the phone: "Hello, Teacher Yu, what's up?"

A sound came from the phone.

Chuck immediately looked at Peng Yuan on the balcony.

"I understand... um... I'll be there this afternoon... okay, thank you."

Chuck spoke while forcing a smile.

But the instant he hung up the phone, his expression changed completely: "Peng Yuan!"

"Why are you calling me?"

Peng Yuan, focused on manipulating the passersby, asked without turning his head.

"Your secret has been exposed," Chuck said calmly.

Peng Yuan wasn't very skilled at controlling strange objects, and Chuck's interruption distracted him.

The pedestrian downstairs, who was looking down at his phone and pacing aimlessly in the street, immediately broke free from his cues.

The passerby broke free of control, which made Peng Yuan somewhat impatient: "What happened?"

Peng Yuan was focused on controlling the strange creature and didn't pay any attention to Chuck's words.

Chuck sat on the sofa without saying a word, coldly watching Peng Yuan.

About ten seconds later, Peng Yuan finally realized what Chuck had just said.

He jumped up from his chair in a flash: "Wait a minute! You're saying my secret has been exposed?!"

"Your homeroom teacher wants me to come to the school to discuss your character."

Chuck looked away, saved the file, and closed his laptop: "Not only me, but Ivy's father will also be there. Do you understand?"

"Impossible! How could she possibly know it was me?"

Peng Yuan instinctively retorted, "I'm absolutely certain that when I sneaked into the dormitory and there was video footage, I wasn't seen by anyone or any surveillance cameras!"

My roommate Chen Zili is always hypnotized into going to sleep by me after he finishes washing up every night!

"But the truth is, your homeroom teacher already knows about this."

Chuck walked to the wardrobe next to the door and began changing into the clothes he had worn when he went out.

Peng Yuan's eyes flickered behind him: "Why don't you let me take it..."

"No."

Before Peng Yuan could finish speaking, Chuck decisively rejected his idea.

It's obvious that Peng Yuan intends to hypnotize everyone in the know.

"Why?" Peng Yuan asked calmly.

"If you get used to solving problems with violence, over time, when your violence is no match for others, that will be your end."

As Chuck spoke, he changed his clothes: "Evanna's father is different from ordinary people. If such a person is secretly controlled, the harm he causes is much greater than that of an ordinary person."

Therefore, for a business tycoon like him, there are always people from the countermeasures department who secretly conduct mental tests on him every now and then.

Peng Yuan scoffed, "Heh, don't try to fool me. If that's the case, then shouldn't those underworld bosses who run shady businesses be the ones being tested even more?"

Chuck turned around, a meaningful look on his face: "How do you know the Countermeasures Bureau hasn't secretly monitored them?"

"Don't even think about it?"

Peng Yuan scoffed, "If the Countermeasures Bureau had investigated those gang leaders, would they still have let them commit such evil deeds? They probably would have..."

As he spoke, Peng Yuan's voice grew softer and softer.

He seemed to realize something.

Chuck nodded almost imperceptibly, because the fact that Peng Yuan could make the connection proved that he wasn't hopelessly stupid.

"Did you think of something?" Chuck asked casually.

Peng Yuan's eyebrows almost knitted together: "You 'justice' organizations seem to be much more ruthless than I imagined."

"That's good. Being able to recognize this shows that you are indeed growing."

Chuck cast an approving glance at Peng Yuan: "The organization's training teaches you combat skills, or methods to control the supernatural and reduce erosion."

What we, as field mentors, are here to teach is discipline, experience, methods, and mindset... Controlling your sympathy is the first lesson you need to learn.

However, you probably don't need to learn this, since you don't have much sympathy for ordinary people anyway.

Teaching a psychopath has its benefits; at least in terms of establishing new values, these psychopaths have an extraordinary ability to adapt.

"...So how do you plan to solve this problem?" Peng Yuan deliberately avoided Chuck's praise and steered the conversation back on track.

"I'm just a foreign trader, I don't have the ability to compete with the business tycoons of Qianhua City. The best solution is to apologize honestly like an ordinary person and help you drop out of school."

Chuck couldn't help but think of his own job.

Peng Yuan caused this mess, and Yi Zhiwei will definitely "teach" him a lesson in business in order to get revenge.

The thought of the kickback that was about to be in his pocket and then flying away made Chuck feel a pang of heartache.

"All my efforts over the past week are probably going to go down the drain... It seems I'll have to talk to the organization and ask for a new job."

Chuck clicked his tongue in disbelief as he opened the door, preparing to go to the company to report the situation to his contact.

Just as Chuck was about to step out the door, Peng Yuan called out to him, "Wait a minute, do me a favor."

"Get to the point quickly, don't waste my time." Chuck's tone gradually became more serious.

Peng Yuan stared blankly at Chuck's back, his face no longer showing the cheerfulness he had in school, his eyes appearing dark and gloomy.

He said in a deep voice, "Nana alone couldn't possibly discover that I was behind this. Help me find out who is pointing the finger at me."

A few years ago, Yi Zhiwei drove him out of Qianhua City. Now that he has finally returned, he is about to be driven away again in less than half a month.

The depth of Peng Yuan's resentment is self-evident.
