Chapter 72: March 3rd Extra Update
“So… You still want me to be your lab rat?” Xia Yu looked at the other person coldly. She could only think of that now.
“Eh? How could you think that? Dr. T is dead and those kinds of experiments won’t happen anymore. And you seem to be his only successful experiment. So I just want you to help me with something,” Jiang Bin quickly clarified when he saw that Xia Yu misunderstood him.
“Do you think I’d help someone who has wronged me?”
With that said, Xia Qian dreamed already had her face turned away, fuming. Ha! It was impressive enough that she wasn’t tearing her hair out right now. Did they really expect her to help them? Besides, one of her hands and feet were already broken, plus, she felt like d*ath warmed over…
Jiang Bin was not surprised by Xia Yu’s reaction. After all, when enemies meet, their hostility is expected. His uncle had made Xia Yu this way, so it was strange if she would simply agree to help him.
However, Jiang Bin was no greenhorn in both the old battlefields and business world. He knew how to get Xia Yu on board: “Let’s not refuse so hastily. Listen to my analysis first, okay?”
Seeing that Xia Yu still ignored him, Jiang Bin didn’t get annoyed. Instead, he continued, “Well, you’re here because you tried to jump off a building, right? Don’t you think your family will be devastated if you do that?”
As expected, after hearing Jiang Bin’s words, Xia Yu burst into tears. She glanced at the whip marks on her right arm, then in her choked-up voice responded sarcastically, “What’s it to you?”
“Because I can help you, you know. Imagine this, if you agree to help me just once, I can promise that your family will receive a reward of one million yuan. So even if you leave, your family will live a good life, won’t they?”
The old man standing next to Jiang Bin couldn’t help but cough lightly. He disapproved of Jiang Bin’s method of deceiving a naive person, given his reputation as a renowned clinical psychologist back home.
Realizing his slip, Jiang Bin chuckled awkwardly. If he hadn’t phrased it that way, he wouldn’t have been able to break through Xia Yu’s mental defenses swiftly. After all, for someone who had attempted s*icide, feeling guilty about letting down their family was an undeniable emotion.
Sure enough, upon hearing Jiang Bin’s words, Xia Yu hesitated. She thought, if sacrificing herself allowed her family to obtain such a substantial sum of money, it seemed worth it to repay them for these ten years of care and upbringing.
After all, she was just an unwanted child, right?
After her hesitation ended, Xia Yu finally looked Jiang Bin straight in the eye, asking: “What kind of help?”
Although she was inquiring, Xia Yu, with a hopeless heart, had already made up her mind. Even if Jiang Bin wanted to dissect her for research, she wouldn’t refuse. The one million yuan would be sufficient to repay her family’s efforts, making the deal worthwhile in her eyes.
Noticing Xia Yu’s despair, Jiang Bin chuckled again: “It’s nothing big, really. I just want to run some detailed tests to see if my uncle’s experiments were truly successful. It’s also a way to honor his memory.”
“Alright.” Xia Yu answered without hesitation.
“Right, let’s talk more after you recover. For now, why don’t you chat with this grandpa?”
With those words, Jiang Bin smiled and left the room, leaving behind a white-coated elderly doctor to keep Xia Yu company.
When he learned that Xia Yu had attempted s*icide, Jiang Bin understood immediately that something must be wrong with her psychologically. This was a disorder and needed treatment, which was why he contacted this psychologist for diagnosis and treatment.
Actually, realistically speaking, if Jiang Bin was really eager to figure out whether his uncle’s experiments were truly successful, he could have just tested Xia Yu while she was unconscious.
But maybe out of guilt, he decided to ask for Xia Yu’s consent and offer a compensation of one million yuan. Luckily, Xia Yu agreed.
