Chapter: 3027
Charlie Wade had known for a long time that Su Zhifei was interested in Gu Qiuyi. He believed in the idea of “freedom of love” and didn’t want to get involved in Su Zhifei’s feelings. Even when Chen Zekai suggested he should step in, Charlie never considered it. He felt everyone has the right to love and be loved, as long as it’s fair. However, Su Zhifei was mistaken in his approach. He had already begun to see Gu Qiuyi as his own, which clouded his judgment.
When Su Zhifei learned he was driving Gu Qiuyi to an event, his first instinct was to dig into Charlie Wade’s background and even check on his wife’s license plate. This behavior went against the very principle of “freedom of love” that Charlie valued. Because of this, Charlie decided he needed to take action against Su Zhifei.
He chose to give Su Zhifei a psychological suggestion. This method is a powerful form of influence, and Charlie used his aura to make it even more effective. He knew that if he only had a casual conversation with Su Zhifei, he might change his mind once he left, possibly even trying to avoid the situation altogether.
Even if Su Zhifei felt forced and ended up going to the Jokhang Temple, he could still find a way to escape or avoid taking responsibility. Charlie understood he couldn’t keep a constant watch on him, so the best solution was to instill a strong psychological suggestion that would make Su Zhifei hold himself accountable.
Once this suggestion was planted, it was like a force that compelled him to stick to his commitments, just as Wu Qi had to keep adding meals every hour—nothing could stop him, and he wouldn’t be able to back out of his responsibilities.
Charlie Wade had a strict plan for himself. He decided he would take three steps and perform one kowtow for each step. If he didn’t follow through, he wouldn’t forgive himself. This method made it impossible for him to slip up.
However, psychological suggestions can have strong effects. Once someone accepts these suggestions, their normal way of thinking can be greatly altered. To others, this person might appear crazy and hard to understand. But for Charlie Wade, it didn’t matter. He wanted Su Zhifei to reflect on the past three years.
Su Zhifei had once saved Charlie’s life, and now Charlie would take action to right the wrongs done to him. He didn’t plan to kill Su; that would be too much. Instead, he thought that making Su kowtow to atone for his sins was a kind of mercy from him.
At this point, Su Zhifei was completely under Charlie’s psychological influence. His mind was filled with Charlie’s instructions. Charlie then said, “Okay, go call your subordinates and have them take you home. If they ask about your conversation, tell them it was a misunderstanding and that the person you were looking for isn’t at the Emgrand Group.”
Su Zhifei nodded eagerly and replied, “Understood!” He turned and left without looking back.
Seeing this, Wang Dongxue quickly asked Charlie, “Master, are you just going to let him go like that?”
Charlie nodded, saying, “Yes, let him go. We don’t need to worry about anything else.”
“Okay,” Wang Dongxue said. “I’ll see him out to avoid raising any suspicions.”
Charlie nodded again, and Wang Dongxue hurried over to Su Zhifei, saying, “Master Su, let me see you out.”
Su Zhifei nodded slowly and said without thinking, “Thank you.”
