Urban Soldier Young Master

Chapter 1036 - 1035: Su Yuanzhou's Explanation

Regarding the issue with this "abstract painting," Qin Ruojing and Qin Ruoying exchanged their individual feelings from earlier, but despite their exchange, they couldn't come to any conclusion.They each had their own doubts in their minds, and Chu Ge had his own doubts as well. Although the three of them were confused about different things, they all felt that the situation was somewhat peculiar.

A few minutes passed, and Qin Ruojing and Qin Ruoying finally ceased their discussion. Qin Ruoying wanted to take another look at that peculiar photo, but Qin Ruojing stopped her, thinking it best not to aimlessly dabble with unknown things.

The three spoke a few more words on the matter, and Chu Ge chuckled, steering the conversation elsewhere.

"If you can't figure it out, don't dwell on it. Shouldn't we think about what to eat and where to go today?"

Qin Ruojing hesitated slightly and said, "Chu Ge, Ruoying, let's go back home."

In just two short days since arriving in Japan, so many chaotic events had unfolded; Qin Ruojing really wasn't in the mood to stay any longer.

Chu Ge was not surprised by Qin Ruojing's suggestion. The honeymoon was supposed to be enjoyable, but recent events had made it hard for Qin Ruojing to be happy.

Chu Ge nodded readily, "I follow your lead; whatever you want."

Seeing Chu Ge agree, Qin Ruojing turned to her sister, "Ruoying, what do you think? Do you still want to continue playing in Japan?"

Qin Ruoying smiled nonchalantly and said, "I'm fine either way; wherever you go, I'll go."

"Then let's do that. If there are tickets for today's flight, we'll leave today. I know you must haven't had enough fun yet, and we'll find some place to continue traveling after returning home."

Hearing her sister say this, the bit of anxiety on Qin Ruoying's face quickly vanished. She giggled and said, "Sis, you're the best! I was worried you'd go straight to work once we got back."

"I plan to get married only this once in my life, so if I don't enjoy my honeymoon, won't that be too unfair to myself? Now, you can start planning where to play after we return home, but... this time, no more silly ideas."

Qin Ruoying scratched her head, feeling wronged, "Sis, even though it was my idea to come to Japan, you can't blame me. How could I have expected this absurd mess before coming?"

Qin Ruojing smiled without offering a direct answer.

By this time, Chu Ge was already pondering where to go after returning home. He recalled Su Yuanzhou mentioning that the Su Family's ancestral home was in Guicheng, Nanyun Province, which is a renowned tourist city. Perhaps... he could take the opportunity to visit there?

Qin Ruojing was never one to procrastinate; since Chu Ge and her sister had no objections, this matter was decided.

Fortunately, it wasn't the peak tourist season now, so Qin Ruojing easily bought three return tickets, with an afternoon flight from Tokyo to Beijing. As for where to travel after returning, that will be decided after getting back home.

After buying the tickets, the three of them saw they had ample time before the flight and decided to invite a few Hua Country folks they've met here for lunch.

After all, in this foreign land, it was quite a rare stroke of luck to have met each other, and once parted, it's uncertain if they'd ever meet again in this lifetime.

Besides, another important reason was Chu Ge's unresolved curiosity. He felt he had to ask Su Yuanzhou something face-to-face.

Returning the rented car, Chu Ge contacted Su Yuanzhou, as well as Qiao Jia and Xie Simin, and then took a taxi back to Su Yuanzhou's small inn.

Su Yuanzhou was both surprised and understanding when he learned Chu Ge and the others were there to bid farewell.

Overall, the fact that Chuge and his companions came by today made Su Yuanzhou quite happy. He did have some things he hoped to discuss with Chu Ge in person.

The three had only been there a few minutes when Qiao Jia and Xie Simin, who were off today, arrived as well. After exchanging some pleasantries, Chu Ge and Su Yuanzhou found an excuse to leave the group and headed to the room where they had previously talked.

"Brother Su, I'm calling you big brother, so I won't beat around the bush. There's something I can't figure out. Although my question might be a bit impolite, I hope you understand and honestly tell me the real answer."

In the room, there were only Chu Ge and Su Yuanzhou. Chu Ge closed the door, looked directly into Su Yuanzhou's eyes, and got straight to the point.

"If I'm not mistaken, what you want to ask should be why I didn't take action promptly during your standoff with Watanabe Shinji yesterday, right?"

Chu Ge nodded, "That's right, I really can't understand it."

Su Yuanzhou sighed helplessly and gave a bitter smile, "Perhaps you think I was just watching the tigers fight from the mountain, and only when my niece's life was threatened did I have to act. Actually... I was giving it my all from the very beginning."

Chu Ge frowned, feeling very skeptical about what Su Yuanzhou said.

"Brother Chu, do you think that since I've cultivated this technique to the third level, hypnotizing Watanabe Shinji should be effortless? That as long as I want to, I can make him an obedient puppet in an instant?"

Chu Ge frowned and asked, "Isn't that the case?"

Su Yuanzhou nodded proudly, "In a certain sense, yes, it is."

Chu Ge was slightly stunned and frowned even more. Su Yuanzhou said helplessly again, "But in some special situations, it's not as straightforward as you think."

Su Yuanzhou approached a small round table, gestured to Chu Ge to sit down, and when Chu Ge took the chair opposite him, he too sat down and took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket.

"Want one?"

Chu Ge waved his hand, not taking the cigarette Su Yuanzhou offered. "Brother Su, you know my time is limited, let's talk about the main issue first."

Su Yuanzhou lit a cigarette for himself, placed the cigarette and lighter on the small table, frowned deeply, and took a deep puff before continuing.

"Brother Chu, although your talent is indeed excellent, you are just starting to get acquainted with this technique, so there are many things you don't understand. Your suspicion is understandable, but I can vouch for my words with my character. I didn't stand by for fun yesterday; I truly had my difficulties. Trying to hypnotize Watanabe Shinji in that situation was extremely difficult."

Su Yuanzhou took another deep puff of his cigarette.

"Brother Chu, you might have heard the saying, 'the eyes are the windows to the soul.' The cultivation technique we practice emphasizes connecting spirits—souls, so to speak—through these windows, and from there hypnotizing or influencing minds, attacking them spiritually."

"But yesterday, all of Watanabe Shinji's attention was almost entirely on you. Even though I was very close to him, he practically ignored me. Under such circumstances, without a proper opportunity, even if I have cultivated this technique to the third level, establishing a spiritual connection with Watanabe Shinji was extremely, extremely difficult."

Chu Ge had considered this point mentioned by Su Yuanzhou, but this reason was really hard for him to believe.

In his view, this technique is so powerful; he only cultivated a few characters from the first level and could already hypnotize Watanabe Shinji effectively. Su Yuanzhou has cultivated to the third level; there must be a significant enhancement in hypnotic abilities. Even if there were difficulties, how difficult could it be?

Moreover, when Watanabe Shinji aimed his gun at Su Xiao, didn't Su Yuanzhou manage to hypnotize him?

According to Su Yuanzhou's current explanation, he was giving it his all from the start. It seems a bit too coincidental, doesn't it?

Chu Ge remained undecided; Su Yuanzhou shook his head helplessly and continued, "I know you still have doubts in your heart. It's normal to have doubts; if I were in your position, I'd probably have some of the same suspicions. But whether you believe it or not, what I'm saying is true. When you face a situation like this yourself, you'll understand that feeling."

At this point, Su Yuanzhou's words stirred something in Chu Ge's heart, not exactly moving him, but it left him somewhat helpless.

This cultivation technique has three levels, with a total of thirty-six characters, twelve in each level. He has barely cultivated a few characters from the first level. Even if he is quick in cultivating, reaching the third level might take a long time. When will he get to experiment under the same conditions?

Helpless as it may be, there's no other way. And since Su Yuanzhou had already laid things out this way, Chu Ge felt that persisting any further might be unreasonable.

"Brother Su, it's not that your words don't make sense to me; it's just really hard for me to grasp what you felt at that moment. Can you explain it to me in more detail?"

Su Yuanzhou pondered for a moment and nodded.

"That feeling, to put it bluntly, is like forcing a spiritual connection with Watanabe Shinji. On a difficulty scale from one to ten, if he's willing to cooperate and make eye contact with me, establishing a spiritual connection with him is a difficulty of one. When he's agitated but makes eye contact, the difficulty is about three."

"As for when he's not only agitated but hysterical, fighting like a cornered beast, and completely ignoring me, establishing such a spiritual connection is the highest difficulty of ten."
