347 Friend, I Must Explain (2/2)
”That is actually not that hard. One only need to be familiar with the theory of suggestion… For example, by inserting certain articles in news or websites, that is something easily done through Trojan viruses.” Han Chu gave a few examples. ”Hasn't the news about reunion between family members estranged for years been extremely popular recently? Articles about how a mother's love is as heavy as a mountain. He only needed to direct those stories to Cedrick's feed and implant this idea into Cedrick's subconscious.”
Ye Shuang picked for the flaw. ”The feeling as heavy as mountain should be a father's love. Next time, when you describe a mother's love, try something like as deep as the ocean… Cough! Never mind, please continue.”
Han Chu pulled back the icy gaze that he leveled at Ye Shuang and continued. ”When the influence reached a certain stage, he only needed to create some issue to make Cedrick leave the hotel like cutting off the phone service or stealing his lighter so that he needed to leave his room for a cigarette… Once a person has left their lair, it is common for them to do more than one thing before returning, especially when the other thing is at the forefront of their mind. Leaving the room would help push the drive forward.
”Then after Cedrick came to find us, the issue of timing can be easily solved, with a little bug or binoculars strategically placed at the opposite building, do you need more examples? Then, he could make the call at the most opportune moment, and if there was time, he could even consider the way that we were positioned in the room. He could make sure that Cedrick would be close enough to hear the phone conversation, and it does not take a genius to anticipate Cedrick's reaction.”
Ye Shuang was speechless. ”Brother Han, it sounds like you have done this many times before. How else could you be so familiar with it?”
Han Chu looked at her with patience. ”Criminal psychology is something that I've studied.”
Han Chu had once been a member of the Chinese Special Ops, and it was natural for the body of government to expect a higher standard from its members. Han Chu closed the laptop and said while holding in his indignation, ”So, back to the matter at hand. We are faced with two possibilities. One, Edward has lied to us, and this is one of his plots to make use of us to do his dirty bidding; two, Edward hasn't lied to us, and the person that Madam Grace is meeting has been trying to harm her. No matter which possibility it turns out to be, it is best for us to work in the shadows and observe the situation before announcing our presence.”
”Okay.”
…
At the same time, while Han Chu and Ye Shuang were coming up with the action plan, Cedrick was unable to view the situation with a calm eye.
Luo Mingxin, who was seated in the passenger seat, had a bitter smile on his face. After bearing witness to Cedrick's car stealing expertise and the midnight car drifting, he managed to confirm that he had been dragged into some big trouble.
After combining it with the conversation at the apartment, he knew that this was not a simple issue. To ensure that he would not end up as cannon fodder, even Luo Mingxin, who had been vying for an adventure, could not help but open his lips to say, ”I think I have to explain something to you. You've got the wrong person, my friend.”
