“Can someone smart explain to me what’s going on? Are they playing riddles?” “Dr. Chen said Sienna Tower doesn’t need any special medicine. Maybe he’s pretending to be sick?”
“Based on my many years of experience watching detective dramas, there must be something else going on.”
“The CPU in my brain is burning.”
“Uncle, are you sick or not?”
Chen Yu and the Sienna Tower’s exchange of questions and answers left the viewers dumbfounded.
What do you mean by there’s no need for any medicine?
What the hell was Sienna Tower saying?
“Since you’ve been mentally struggling for a very long time before coming to me, this means that you’re familiar with my medical skills. There shouldn’t be any need for you to ask this question,” Chen Yu added with a smile.
“Indeed.”
“Dr. Chen, you’re right. If you weren’t capable, I wouldn’t have come to you.”
“After all, my identity is a little complicated.”
The viewers were so anxious that they scratched their heads constantly.
What’s with all the mystery?
This is just bullying the low-IQ audience by talking in riddles constantly.
“Uncle, you look like an honest guy. Can you not talk in this way? We are all dumb kids who can’t understand shit.”
“Can you speak humanly?”
“Ugh, this is the first time I came to realize how roundabout you intellectual people talk.”
“Why is your identity complicated? Could you be a big shot?”
“He’s not a celebrity. I just took a screenshot and scanned it. There’s no photo of him on the internet.”
Seeing the chat couldn’t wait to know more about the meaning behind their words. Sienna Tower smiled with a complicated expression.
“Master Chen, what do you think?”
Sienna Tower shot Chen Yu an inquiring gaze.
Chen Yu raised his hand and made an inviting gesture.
“You’re the patient here. It’s up to you whether you want to talk or not.”
Sienna Tower took a deep breath.
“You should have heard of the serial demolition incident in Liangbei City 20 years ago, right?”
“I’m the mastermind of those scammers.”
As soon as this was said, the livestream’s chat immediately fell into chaos.
“Fucking hell! This gentle and refined old man is that god-level swindler from back then?”
“Reality is more magical than movies.”
“I remember that many movies and novels are now based on him.”
“Awesomeness is everywhere, and you’re actually by my side today.”
“What a legendary figure.”
Upon hearing the words “Liangbei City’s serial demolition”, many older netizens immediately awakened their dusty memories.
The younger viewers also searched for the meaning of these words.
Twenty years ago, a group of swindlers pretended to be foreign businessmen from Japan.
They headed to Liangbei City and contacted many different government departments.
They informed the local government that they wanted to build up a series of properties spread over 6,000 acres, investing tens of billions.
It was supposed to be a comprehensive district that covered residential buildings, sightseeing, leisure shopping malls, and many unique experiences. Many different ingenious scam methods were utilized by them.
A large number of buildings were demolished to make way for this comprehensive residential area.
A year later, many of the swindlers were caught in various parts of the country. Due to the seriousness of the case, the court decided to conduct a closed trial. No one had expected such a gentle, elegant-looking man with a magnetic and pleasant voice to be the mastermind behind this.
“Everyone, please learn from my mistakes. My muddle-headed decision back then brought me 15 years of imprisonment.”
Noticing many calling him a legend and wanting to learn from him, Sienna Tower looked extremely bitter.
“I didn’t just lose my freedom; I also lost my health, love, and kinship.”
Sienna Tower started to talk about what this crime had brought him.
Back then, the Sienna Tower was young, vigorous, and unsatisfied with the small stuff.
He decided to go for a big one.
After he was done, he would wash his hands and bring his wife overseas to live a good life.
The plan had succeeded, but he was quickly caught.
Only during his trial did he find out that his wife was already more than three months pregnant.
Later, he was sentenced to life imprisonment.
His wife also divorced him.
All kinds of pain and regret corroded him from the inside.
Very soon, Sienna Tower developed OCD.
Due to his good behavior, his life imprisonment was reduced to 20 years.
20 years then became 15 years.
Five years ago, he was released from prison.
With the help of a childhood friend, his life finally got back on track.
However, his condition only worsened.
He had to take medicine three times a day to stabilize his condition.
“One time, my friend carried me to a nearby psychological clinic.”
“The doctor told me that medicine alone can’t cure my illness. The warmth of a family and the care of relatives are my best medicine.”
“My friend also advised me to visit my ex-wife and child.”
“1 followed my friend’s suggestion and went to her house.”
“She still hates me as much as she did back then. She rejected my very presence and didn’t say a word to me.”
“Just as 1 walked to the bus stop in disappointment, a girl chased after me. It was my daughter.”
Sienna Tower looked happy.
His wife refused to forgive him, but his daughter wasn’t hostile.
She left him her contact information and started chatting with him.
Knowing he had OCD, the daughter convinced her mother to let her stay with him for a short while.
She wanted to help him treat his illness.
At this point, Sienna Tower paused, and his expression became complicated.
“I was worried out of my mind. I really want her to come over, but I’m afraid that my OCD will scare her.”
When he was in contact with his daughter on the phone, his OCD eased slightly.
He knew the doctor was right—that the best cure was kinship.
He was just afraid that if he didn’t take his medication for just one day, his OCD would flare up.
What if he scared his daughter?
For this reason, he deliberately skipped his medication and recorded his crazy acts through his surveillance cameras.
Anyone who saw his actions would be taken aback.
“Dr. Chen, I came to you because I had no choice.”
“I’m afraid that I’ll scare my daughter, but I really want her to return to my side.”
“I’ve no choice but to come and beg you for medicine.”
“Dr. Chen, can you give me some advice? Should I take them?”
Sienna Tower, which was able to pull off such a shocking scam, had long since investigated Chen Yu’s background.
Chen Yu possessed the ability to predict the future, and no one could ever hide anything from him.
That was why Sienna Tower had been mentally prepared.
After all, if he called in, his heinous past would be revealed.
But for his daughter, he was willing to do so.
“As I said earlier,” Chen Yu said unhurriedly, “I do have a special medicine here that can treat you.”
“But you don’t need it, because eating it will make your condition worse.” “What do you mean?”
Sienna Tower was confused.
“Does Dr. Chen’s medicine have any side effects?”
“No.” Shaking his head, Chen Yu said, “My medicine doesn’t have any toxic side effects.”
“Your daughter is the best medicine for you.”
“If you take my medicine and your daughter moves into your house, the two ‘medicines’ will fuse together, and your condition will go to an extreme.” “What extreme?”
Sienna Tower felt uneasy.
“Death..”
