Chen Yu’s words completely dumbfounded Sienna Tower.
His IQ.was 170, but he wouldn’t understand the meaning behind Chen Yu’s words even if he had an IQof 270.
“You were addicted to lying since childhood, and as you grew older, it became even more difficult for you to stop that habit.”
“You went to prison for swindling; your wife divorced you, and she couldn’t even keep your child in the end…”
“My child?!”
Sienna Tower let out a heart-wrenching yell.
“My child is gone?”
Unlike the viewers in the chat, Sienna Tower had never once doubted Chen Yu’s abilities.
He was 100% sure that everything Chen Yu said was true.
Others may not be able to see it, but Sienna Tower can see through the authenticity of someone’s words with a glance.
At this very moment, Sienna Tower wished nothing more than for Chen Yu to be a swindler.
Nodding, Chen Yu continued, “After you went to jail, your neighbors assumed your ex-wife wasn’t an upstanding citizen either.”
“They mocked her constantly and even treated her as your accomplice in private.”
“They were constantly on guard against her, treating her like a thief.”
“Under the influence of various factors, your ex-wife suffered a miscarriage.”
Sienna Tower held his head and lowered his head to cry after hearing this.
The last trace of kinship inside him was gone just like that.
Unable to bear breaking the news, Chen Yu continued hesitantly, “As for your OCD, it is also a psychological illness caused by your obsession with deception.”
Sienna Tower was at a critical turning point in his life.
If Chen Yu didn’t continue speaking…
It was very likely that he would go to extremes.
“After you went to prison, you swore you would never swindle again. However, it isn’t as easy as convincing yourself to quit something that’s been a major part of your life.”
“So, anytime you have the urge to lie, you force yourself to do something else to suppress this thought.”
“As time passed, the urge to lie in your mind was no longer strong, but because you were constantly forcing yourself into doing something else, you developed a mental illness similar to OCD.”
“Just like you said, kinship, love, freedom, and health were all lost because of your lies.”
“But it isn’t all doom and gloom. While you lost those, you still retained a valuable friendship.”
Chen Yu paused to look at the self-reproaching Sienna Tower.
Sienna Tower had scammed many others and gotten into many terrible, sinful debts.
While the law punished him, the heavens would punish him in their own way.
However, the heavens were fair.
While punishing Sienna Tower, they also gave him a way out.
This thread of silver lining was his only friend.
“Dr. Chen, 1 have a question. Did his friend really not set up this trap to take revenge on him?”
A paid comment appeared on Chen Yu’s screen.
This question represented the puzzlement of all the viewers.
“Of course not.”
Chen Yu smiled and explained, “There’s a saying, fighting fire with fire.”
“In our field of psychotherapy, we also have something similar called shock therapy.”
“When a person’s mental illness reaches a point where it’s difficult to control, they need to be given a strong dose of medicine.”
“Through a major blow from a certain aspect, it directly hits the patient’s inner cause of illness and achieves the effect of treatment.”
Sienna Tower’s childhood friend often visited him in prison during his ten years of imprisonment.
He hoped Sienna Tower could turn over a new leaf but was greatly disappointed.
He installed the surveillance cameras because he was concerned that Sienna Tower’s illness would worsen and he would be unable to respond in time.
He never expected to notice that Sienna Tower was still obsessed with fraud through these surveillance cameras.
Whenever it was late at night, Sienna Tower would sit in front of his desk, muttering to himself as he wrote and drew something.
Everything he did was related to fraud.
“Your friend couldn’t understand why you are still thinking about these things after spending more than ten years in prison and losing everything.”
“After his initial anger, your friend gradually calmed down and knew you might be suffering from mental illness.”
“He found many well-known psychologists, and they diagnosed you with a morbid obsession with fraud.”
“Your OCD might also be caused by this.”
Hearing this, Sienna Tower looked up with tears on his face.
“When I was young, 1 hurt him time and time again. Why is he still helping me?”
“Because you helped him out too.”
“You guys grew up together,” Chen Yu explained calmly. “Although you often play tricks on him, you’ll still share anything fun or exciting with him.”
“You even helped him as you taught the older children who bullied him a lesson.”
“Friendship is a complicated thing, so not everyone will despise you. Your friend is a rare true friend in your world.”
Sienna Tower was not the only one touched by this.
The viewers who listened intently were also filled with touching emotions.
“They are soul mates, right?”
“Such a friend exists only for someone else. I’ll never meet anyone like this again in my life.”
“My soulmates are my money. Every time 1 use some, it hurts my heart.”
“Me too.”
“From what you people are saying, 1 don’t seem to have any true friends.”
“I don’t have one either. I can only watch Dr. Chen’s livestream daily and watch chat do their shenanigans.”
No one expected this outcome.
Sienna Tower, who seemed to have lost everything, had a beam of light shone down on him.
He had a true friend who would never leave him.
Looking at the comments in the chat, Sienna Tower recalled Chen Yu’s words.
Sienna Tower was both happy and sad.
He gradually understood the meaning behind Chen Yu’s words.
Under the influence of his illness, Sienna Tower had always been in a state of anxiety.
On the one hand, he hated scamming others.
On the other hand, he always wanted to surpass his idol and leave a mark in the history of deception.
Chen Yu was satisfied when he saw Sienna Tower’s facial expressions.
“It looks like you’ve already thought it through,” Chen Yu concluded.
Sienna Tower calmed down and asked, “Dr. Chen, you said initially that if 1 took your special medicine and entered my friend’s trap, the outcome might be death.”
“Could it be that when my mentality returns to normal, the shock therapy that my friend used on me will cause a backlash?”
“You’re right.”
“If you take my medicine, your mental state will return to normal,” Chen Yu said. “You’ll soon be able to see through your friend’s tricks.”
Sienna Tower nodded.
This elaborate scam set up by his friend sounded complicated, but a professional swindler like him could see right through it.
“When you realize that all of this was a scam set up by your friend, you will fall into deep despair.”
“Your only friend has also left you, making you lose the courage to live anymore.”
Sienna Tower sighed.
If he knew that his one and final friend had betrayed him, he would indeed consider suicide..
