After hearing Su Mo's words, Nono thought for a few seconds and fully understood what Su Mo meant.
His father is now facing unknown pressure from the Gattuso family. This pressure is time-limited, so as long as he does not succumb to his father's threat within a certain period of time, he will become a threat to his father and can in turn manipulate him.
So she doesn't have to do anything, time is on her side.
"Then I should go back directly now?"
Nono asked uncertainly.
After finally escaping, it still feels a little strange to have to go back into the trap again.
"But after we go back, what will happen to the investigation of the dragon serum?"
"You can walk back freely."
Su Mo agreed with her idea.
"As long as you calm down and don't succumb to his bluff, the Chen family will not be a net to capture you, but a net to capture your father."
"The net that captured my father?"
Nonuo's tone was a little weird.
It is clear that the Chen family is her father's property and a tool used by her father to restrain all his children. How could it become a net that can capture her father?
"Aren't spiders that weave webs also trapped in webs?"
Su Mo asked leisurely.
"As long as he is still greedy for prey, he will be bound by himself."
"And as long as you can restrain him, you don't need to investigate the serum yourself. You can even ask him to donate the serum to you personally."
"Of course, if you want to counter your father, you still need to learn some conversation skills."
People who expose their desires are often not difficult to deal with because they themselves have exposed their weaknesses.
When the other party was not in a hurry, even Su Mo couldn't find many entry points to investigate the Chen family.
But now that the other party was in a hurry, Su Mo saw the gap exposed by the other party.
The strongest fortresses are often breached from within.
"Conversation tips?"
Nuonuo was stunned for a moment, not quite understanding what Su Mo was referring to.
"Well, when testing your mentality, verbal confrontation is also very important. I'll talk about some simple techniques that you should be able to use."
Su Mo decided to take advantage of this opportunity to arm Nono so that she could use her to spy on what was hidden behind the Chen family.
"..."
After some narration.
Nonuo took notes seriously.
After the call ended, she breathed a sigh of relief. Even though she was almost wanted in the city, she felt more at ease than ever before.
This peace of mind does not lie in the conversation skills she just learned, but in the fact that she is finally able to see clearly the whirlpool around her, is finally able to see her current situation very clearly, and finally learns ways to change the current situation.
The girl hung up the phone, turned around, leaned against the phone booth and looked up at the sky.
She faced the sky, stretched out her palm, and spread out her fingers one by one.
In terms of force alone, she felt that she had not changed much from her previous self.
But in terms of mentality, compared to the previous state where she was trembling like a hedgehog and unable to do anything, she felt that her current self might have changed.
She didn't know whether the change was more or less.
Maybe it was a little unrealistic, but she did have such an illusion in her mind.
"Maybe... I can turn everything around now?"
The girl slowly clenched her fists, and her will gradually hardened.
Having made up her mind, she threw off the hood that covered her hair, letting her dark red hair flow around her waist, and walked into the crowd.
This time, her back no longer looked like a dog, but like Don Quixote charging at a windmill.
·
Chen Motong, who ran away from home, actually came back on his own?
Hearing the news, even her father couldn't help showing a shocked expression.
Based on his understanding of Nono, this guy could only be caught. Unless the sun rose in the west, there was no way he could come back on his own initiative, but today it seemed that the sun really came out from the west.
When the head of the Chen family came to the living room.
Immediately he saw Nono's figure.
The five or six sisters who stayed behind formed a circle and watched her eagerly, fearing that she would suddenly run away again. The security guards outside the door also put on the highest mental alert and never gave her a chance to escape.
But surrounded by so many people, she actually looked at ease, as if she was still eating spicy strips?
"Father!"
Seeing him coming, the other daughters immediately saluted, but Nono pretended not to see him as always.
The head of the Chen family was not surprised either. After waving his hand in response, he stood in front of Nono.
"You still know how to come back?"
His voice was majestic and his face was as gloomy as water.
"This is my home. Why don't I come back?"
Nuonuo replied confidently.
"I also know that it's your family. It seems that I haven't completely forgotten my father."
The head of the Chen family asked in a deep voice.
"Then why did you run away from home?"
"What does it mean to run away from home? I just went to buy spicy chips. Is it illegal to buy spicy chips?"
Nuonuo raised her eyebrows, shook the snacks in her hands, and looked at her father unwillingly.
Unlike before, where she was just pretending to be brave, there was a little more confidence in her eyes this time.
The first lesson taught by Teacher Su Mo is to learn to disrupt the other person's conversational rhythm when you are weak, so as to avoid falling into passivity.
Obviously, her father didn't want to get into such a meaningless argument with her, so he directly changed the subject.
"Are you still dissatisfied with the Gattuso family's marriage contract? As I said before, your mother and I both want to see you marry into a good family. If you are really dissatisfied, you can just say so. There is no need to do this.
.”
There was a threat implicit in his words, and he was obviously preparing to use his mother's weakness again to force her to submit.
If it were the former Nono, he would definitely be too angry to say anything, and in the end he could only agree in frustration.
But she is different now.
"How can there be dissatisfaction? Why do you think so? Didn't we agree on the terms? Do you want to regret it? Want to give up the marriage with the Gattuso family?"
Nono looked at his father in surprise.
This 180-degree change from her previous attitude really made her father feel a bit confused.
The sudden rhetorical question made him stunned for several seconds before he came back to his senses.
"You mean, you are willing to accept the marriage and marry into the Gattuso family?"
He looked at his daughter suspiciously, always feeling that her attitude was a bit unreal.
"Of course! As long as you develop the serum to awaken your mother as agreed, I will obey your orders. This is the condition we agreed on before."
Nono nodded immediately and quietly brought the topic to serum.
The second lesson taught by Teacher Su Mo is that after disrupting the opponent's rhythm, you should try to move the topic away from the opponent's preset battlefield to avoid a home battle.
"serum……"
After hearing this word, her father finally understood the key point that Nono cared about.
"Is this your purpose? That's why you didn't hesitate to attack your brother today?"
"Since I have agreed to your conditions, then there is nothing wrong with caring about my mother's serum, right?"
Nono asked in return, focusing the topic on serum.
"But why do you want to stop me? Could it be that the serum is a scam at all, just a bait that you want to trick me into agreeing to your request?"
Of course she knew the serum wasn't a scam.
Maybe it wasn't a specific medicine used to treat her mother, but it must be something the family was secretly researching.
But this did not prevent her from expressing doubts. Su Mo had told her before that she should never prove her innocence, but should try her best to force the other party to prove her own innocence, and then extract the information she wanted from the other party's information.
"Of course it's not a scam! You shouldn't doubt your father!"
The head of the Chen family frowned deeply.
"I don't want to doubt you, but your behavior is too suspicious. I was put under house arrest just for a little investigation. To make such a fuss out of a molehill makes me wonder whether this thing exists. Are you just using empty words to make a fuss?"
Are you lying to me?"
Nuonuo insisted on this and did not relax at all.
"With your ability, you should be able to determine the fact that the serum exists."
The head of the Chen family frowned again.
He was referring to Nono's profiling ability. Nono should be able to confirm this when she interrogates her brother today.
"Hearing is false and seeing is believing. Who knows whether the serum in his mouth is for humans or dogs?"
Nuonuo retorted with a sneer.
"...So, you're saying that if you can't see the serum, you're going to ignore your mother's wishes?"
The head of the Chen family had a gloomy expression, and he once again exposed Nono's weakness.
"No, I said I don't intend to break the agreement, not to mention it has nothing to do with my mother's wishes. I just can't see the serum and feel uneasy."
Nono was not prepared to do anything hard.
The third rule taught by Teacher Su Mo is not to touch the opponent's bottom line, but you can test it near the bottom line.
"Even if the serum has not yet been developed into a finished product, there should be semi-finished products or other research materials, right? If you don't even have this, how can I trust you?"
"Serum information is not something you should read."
The head of the Chen family still shook his head.
"Then there's no way."
Nono shook his head and sighed.
"Then I'll prepare more spicy strips."
"Spicy strips?"
Her father was stunned, not knowing why the topic turned here.
"Yes! Ever since I found out about my mother, I have been very anxious. Coupled with the mental trauma I suffered in the past two days, I feel like I am going to be neurotic. As long as eating spicy strips can relieve my depression,
It’s just a drop in the bucket, but it’s better than nothing.”
Nuonuo said seriously.
"Neurosis? Depression?"
Her father was stunned.
"Yes, I don't know if the Gattuso family will discriminate against mental patients, but you don't have to worry. I think it might be fine if I rest for a month or two."
Nuonuo said with an indifferent expression.
"A month or two..."
Her father had blue veins looming on his forehead.
"Are you threatening me?"
"of course not!"
Nuonuo denied it, and then looked at him with faint eyes.
"It's just that you don't want me to go insane because of my mother's affairs, right?"
The two looked at each other, and the head of the Chen family looked gloomy.
If it was just depression, he wouldn't believe Nono's threat, and mental illness can't be faked just because he wants to.
But when it came to neurosis, he really wasn't sure.
Nono's usual behavior is quite neurotic.
In addition, she was asked to kill the dog she had raised for more than half a year a few days ago. Maybe there will be some mental impact. If she is really stimulated and shows a tendency to have mental abnormalities intentionally or unintentionally...
Thinking of this possibility, there is also the upcoming test of the Gattuso family.
"snort!"
The head of the Chen family took a deep look at Nuonuo and turned to leave.
There is still time now, and as long as she can't bear it, she doesn't have to take the risk.
After seeing his back disappear completely.
Nono fell down on the sofa, feeling a little exhausted.
But there was a smile on her lips.
Although her performance was not very good, she resisted in the first stage anyway, and after that she just had to compete with her patience.
According to Su Mo's previous analysis of the situation, in the competition of patience, they had the advantage because they had seen through the opponent's trump cards.
·
After Su Mo hung up the phone.
Looking back, I saw Xia Mi taking notes while rustling.
"What are you doing?"
Su Mo asked curiously.
"I think the techniques you mentioned before may be useful, and I was wondering if I should write them down, and then——"
Xia Mi was lying on the bed writing, but got stuck mid-sentence.
"And then use it against me?"
Su Mo helped her complete the second half of the sentence.
"Of course not. How could I use such insidious techniques on you?"
Xia Mi shook his head guiltily, and then suddenly thought of something.
"Wait a minute, have you ever used these words to me?"
Thinking of this possibility, she couldn't help but widen her eyes and looked at Su Mo suspiciously.
"Of course not. How could I trick you? This is just a skill for communicating with humans. You are the mighty Dragon King, how could you fall for this trick?"
Su Mo immediately used Pengsha to disrupt the opponent's rhythm.
"That's right!"
Hearing what Su Mo said, Xia Mi couldn't help but be stunned, and then nodded in approval.
I am a Dragon King with rich experience. I don’t know how many years he has spent. How could he be fooled by these little tricks?
"But I always feel like something is wrong..."
She turned over, holding her notebook and looking at the ceiling.
Speaking of which, on very rare occasions, I was occasionally led by Su Mo. Did he use diversionary tactics to distract me at that time?
Xia Mi just wanted to say this question suspiciously.
But he was interrupted by Su Mo.
"It's almost dinner time, do you remember you still owe me a big meal?"
When Xia Mi mentioned the big meal, he remembered what happened when he arrived at the villa at the mission location. At that time, he was indeed promised a big meal.
This morning the two of them caught up on their sleep and skipped breakfast. They only ate a little lunch and were indeed a little hungry now.
"Remember! Then we are not going to eat at home today, but going out to eat?"
"Okay! Miss Yingming! Do you have a favorite restaurant?"
Su Mo applauded enthusiastically.
"That's not true. I don't eat much outside."
Xia Mi shook his head.
"Then let's go down there first, look at the signature menu, and find a restaurant you like."
Su Mo said like clouds and flowing water.
"Right!"
Xia Mi thought about it and felt it made sense, so he immediately got out of bed and changed his shoes and socks.
Before she was about to go out, her body froze slightly.
I always feel like I have forgotten something. Is it an illusion?
At this moment, Su Mo interrupted her memory.
"Speaking of which, do you want to pack some for Fenrir later?"
"It's okay, but no matter how much you pack, it's just a mouthful for him. It's like a cow chewing a peony."
After Xia Mi complained, he immediately followed.
"boom!"
As the door of the house closed, the little doubt in my mind completely disappeared with the wind.
