Ye Tiancheng was genuinely not paying much attention to the situation in the counseling room anymore.
His attention was entirely focused on the little fox returning.
As the little fox walked back, Ye Tiancheng walked a few steps to meet him. The two then walked back under the shade of the trees side by side. Ye Tiancheng asked the little fox, "How was it? Did you gain anything?"
The little fox opened his mouth, about to say something, but then suddenly looked around.
Ye Tiancheng followed the little fox's gaze and also looked at their surroundings. Both of them were handsome men, especially since Ye Tiancheng had also started grooming himself.
With the two of them standing so close together, how could they not attract the attention of others?
Ye Tiancheng originally didn't pay much attention to his personal image, prioritizing convenience. It was Hou Mingzhu who cared more about such things. After they remarried, Ye Tiancheng completely handed over his image to Hou Mingzhu to manage.
Since she was his wife, Ye Tiancheng was perfectly willing to accept this kind of control. What could be unsatisfactory about having someone willing to take care of him?
He wasn't some heavenly king.
Moreover, even if it wasn't his habit, respecting his wife's hobbies and aesthetics wasn't a big deal. After all, they couldn't go out and make people think he and Hou Mingzhu were not a good match.
In the past, when the situation was special, Ye Tiancheng could be a bit reckless.
At that time, his relationship with Hou Mingzhu hadn't improved as much as it did later; there were still many conflicts, and their values didn't align. Their marriage was more complicated, mixed with a lot of messy things.
This prevented them from getting along completely harmoniously.
But now, they had decided to live a good life together, so Ye Tiancheng was naturally willing to accept these things.
However, after this, because Ye Tiancheng couldn't take good care of Hou Mingzhu, Hou Mingzhu had an accident and remained missing and her whereabouts unknown to this day. No one was taking care of Ye Tiancheng and getting him outfits anymore.
For some reason, perhaps to give himself some psychological comfort, to feel like Hou Mingzhu was still by his side, or perhaps because he had developed a habit, Ye Tiancheng had now learned to manage his appearance and outfits himself.
While he wasn't overly meticulous, it was still much better than before.
Back then, he could be called a pretty boy, and it wasn't strange that he was willing to groom himself to become more eye-catching.
However, in the current situation, attracting too much attention was not a good thing. Ye Tiancheng realized that it was not a good time to talk, so he beckoned to the little fox and said, "Forget it, it's not convenient to talk here. Let's go somewhere else, find a place with a private room outside the school."
The little fox also felt that it wasn't a good place to discuss matters, so he nodded. However, he still asked, "Don't we need to check the situation here anymore?"
Ye Tiancheng then said to the little fox, "There's nothing more to see for now. We'll talk about it later. We'll ask the special operations team to open the permissions for us to directly check the counseling room and meet that psychological counselor."
Hearing the last sentence Ye Tiancheng specifically mentioned, the little fox's face showed a slight hint of confusion. However, he didn't ask anything at that moment. Since there were no immediate problems, they would discuss everything after leaving.
After they went outside the school, they originally intended to find a restaurant or something similar and book a private room, which would also be a good place to eat. Unfortunately, the timing was not ideal. It was exactly mealtime, and many students were also eating outside the school. Many restaurants were full, and the private rooms were lively. It wasn't a good place to choose.
In the end, Ye Tiancheng and the little fox came up with a plan together. They each got a takeout meal and then found a KTV near the school and booked a private room.
Places that weren't specifically for dining were not as crowded during meal times.
Moreover, in this place, they didn't have to worry about being noisy. Even if someone overheard their conversation, they probably wouldn't be able to hear what they were saying clearly. These places were very noisy, and even if the soundproofing of the private rooms wasn't good enough, it wouldn't matter.
Passing through the deafening karaoke hall, Ye Tiancheng and the little fox, each carrying their meals, walked through the crowd to the floor with private rooms. They went up to the third floor, where it was much quieter. Although they could still faintly hear singing, it didn't affect Ye Tiancheng and the little fox's conversation.
At the very least, they didn't have to shout to be heard or to make sure the other person understood what they were saying.
After arriving at the private room, they casually ordered some things. After the waiter delivered them, they dismissed the waiter completely. Ye Tiancheng opened a can of beer, and while slurping noodles, he spoke to the little fox.
"Let's talk about it now. What did you find out when you went to gather information?"
The little fox was also eating. After taking a bite of food and swallowing it completely, he replied to Ye Tiancheng, "I asked about some basic information. I've basically asked everything I could from the student population and have a general understanding of the situation."
Ye Tiancheng said, "Then tell me."
The little fox then started telling Ye Tiancheng what he had found out.
"I've learned that the probability of students experiencing significant psychological problems in this university is indeed quite high compared to other universities. However, this is also one of the top universities in the country, and there is considerable competitive pressure among students, so it doesn't seem too strange."
"What happened in the school has indeed had a certain negative impact on these students."
As he spoke, the little fox suddenly paused.
"However, besides that, I did discover something quite interesting."
"...Hmm?" Ye Tiancheng immediately stopped his chopsticks and looked at the little fox.
The little fox continued, "I learned from some of the girls that the reason they frequently visit the school's psychological counseling is partly because they feel their mental state is not good and needs adjustment. On the other hand, some of them have ulterior motives and queue up for counseling even if they have no problems."
Ye Tiancheng's eyebrows slightly raised, as he had already guessed the reason. The answer was obvious.
The little fox then said, "I heard that among the psychological counselors in the counseling room, one of them is exceptionally good-looking. According to the descriptions of those students, he is comparable to me. Some students specifically choose the days he is on duty to come and queue for psychological counseling, not necessarily because they are ill, but just to see that psychological counselor. As for those who already have psychological problems and truly need psychological counseling, some even feel that they can conveniently come to see this counselor."
The little fox, to be honest, shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands, his expression somewhat helpless.
Ye Tiancheng also showed a hint of helplessness and then said to the little fox, "So, there really are such students. Although I had some foresight, hearing about such things really makes one feel indescribable."
He shook his head and smiled helplessly.
The little fox took this opportunity to quickly eat a few more bites of the now slightly cooled food, which was just right.
"Brother, how did you know about this?" After hearing Ye Tiancheng's words, the little fox looked at Ye Tiancheng with some confusion and asked.
As soon as the question was asked, the little fox seemed to recall something, "Brother, have you met that psychological counselor?"
Ye Tiancheng said to the little fox, "When I was in the school before, I saw the counselor coming out to see off a student from a distance. Although I couldn't see clearly, I could only see his profile, but I could tell that the counselor was excessively good-looking."
"Good-looking people stand out in a crowd, let alone someone who is excessively good-looking."
"The first time I noticed him, I was surprised and inexplicably paid more attention to him, but unfortunately, there was no suitable opportunity, so I never saw his full face."
The little fox bit the tip of his chopsticks. "Pay attention?"
Ye Tiancheng blinked innocently. "It's just a strange premonition, so I plan to find an opportunity to get to know this person later. Perhaps I can gain something?"
The little fox nodded and didn't ask further.
Premonitions are very mysterious and hard to explain. Moreover, Ye Tiancheng hadn't hidden it from him. Ye Tiancheng himself didn't understand why he felt this way, so asking wouldn't be useful. It was better not to ask.
Therefore, the conversation had reached its limit here.
They chatted for a few more sentences and casually shifted to other topics.
At the same time, they finished their meals.
The little fox said to Ye Tiancheng, "It's a pity that the groups of mentors and professors are not as convenient to infiltrate as the student groups. We can't find out if those mentors or others have encountered anything."
Ye Tiancheng, who was fiddling with his meal box, nodded in agreement upon hearing the little fox's words. "Isn't that the case? Especially since the entity behind it understands how to erase memories. If we can't infiltrate, then our attempts to extract information from them when they are sober are basically useless."
They couldn't possibly infiltrate and become university professors just to extract information, right?
Besides, they wouldn't do that kind of work.
And they couldn't just teach for a couple of days and leave.
If it weren't for the fact that no one could remember what happened at night, except for Ye Tiancheng and his companion, and if Ye Tiancheng and the little fox hadn't used their methods to allow Nie Chongyang and the others to also remember what happened at that university at night, then a simple question to someone would have solved the problem, and it wouldn't be so difficult.
To find a way to find a student or teacher from the school and make them remember what happened at night, doing so would not be appropriate.
First of all, what they experienced at night was not a good thing. Forgetting it was the best. If they always remembered, some people would act recklessly in the examination hall because of what happened at night and do things they would never normally do. If they could also remember during the day, it would definitely have a serious impact on these people.
Furthermore, if Ye Tiancheng and his group did this, they couldn't be sure that the other party wouldn't inadvertently leak the information.
Everyone knew the seriousness of the matter, and it already required careful handling. If they were careless and allowed people to spread it indiscriminately, the consequences would be immeasurable for anyone.
It was precisely because they had this sense of proportion that no one proposed such a plan.
Those students were fine; they were relatively easy to control, but they didn't have much information to dig into. It wasn't difficult to extract information from them or to blend in with them. They didn't need so many fancy tactics.
However, regarding the mentors, professors, and school leaders, no one knew their situation, and no one dared to say that they could take that risk.
What if they had some special relationship with the mastermind behind the scenes, or what if they colluded with them, acted as accomplices, or even deceived Ye Tiancheng and his companion because of it? These were all possibilities. Since they had already alerted the enemy, Ye Tiancheng and his group couldn't go any further.
