28: Paparazzi blocked the door and were scared away; he became a doctor in a mental hospital.

Lin Pei had also drunk quite a bit yesterday. After thinking for a while, he finally remembered that Brother Hu had stayed the night at his place.

Just then, Brother Hu woke up as well.

Lin Pei could tell from his expression.

He clearly had some reservations about the fact that the person in front of him after a night of drinking wasn't a beautiful woman.

A few minutes later, Brother Hu finished packing up and bid Lin Pei farewell.

However, when they opened the door, both of them were nearly blinded.

Lin Pei blinked his eyes. Where the hell did this massive lightning come from?

Looking closely, oh, it was camera flashes.

The space in front of his door was a sea of people, swarming with paparazzi!

"Brother Hu is out!"

"Holy crap, this... why is it a man?"

"Excuse me, how should we address you, sir? What is your relationship with Brother Hu?"

"Why did Brother Hu stay the night here?"

"Sir, may I ask if your sexual orientation is normal?"

Lin Pei's vision went dark for a moment.

The first time he was photographed with a Celebrity, and the other party was a grown-ass man.

He really was unlucky enough.

Look at what they were asking—are those even questions a human should ask?

They truly had no integrity at all.

Isn't it perfectly normal for two grown men to spend a night together?

These people couldn't catch any news of Brother Hu with a Female Celebrity, so they wanted to fabricate something.

Shouldn't they be asking Wang Kai these kinds of questions?

Lin Pei felt like killing someone right now.

That aura of a hardened criminal naturally revealed itself without reserve.

Brother Hu was just thinking about how to explain when he was suddenly startled by the person next to him.

Has his brother been possessed by a "Mob Boss"? It's a bit terrifying.

Lin Pei glared at the crowd.

"Coming to someone's front door first thing in the morning, filming and questioning—is this appropriate?"

The paparazzi were so frightened by him that their faces turned pale, and they instinctively took a large step back together.

The phones and cameras in their hands began to tremble.

Holy crap, why does this guy suddenly look different?

This is way too scary.

That look in his eyes feels like he could wipe them all out in minutes.

"We just didn't expect..."

They didn't expect Brother Hu to spend the night at a man's house.

Lin Pei sneered.

"I've memorized exactly what all of you look like."

"Now, everyone delete the videos and leave!"

"If I see even a hint of a report about today's events online..."

Lin Pei made a throat-slitting gesture and gave a sinister smile.

He was already terrifying, and now the paparazzi were practically clutching their crotches in fear.

There was no reason to doubt that gaze.

This guy is a freaking psychopathic killer.

What kind of decent person has such a horrifying look in their eyes?

Even the demonstration of the "throat-slit" was so practiced, radiating a sense of pleasure.

"Scram already! Do you want me to see you out?"

The paparazzi had already deleted the videos and photos on the spot.

Hearing Lin Pei's explosive roar, they immediately scattered in all directions, crying for their lives.

Once the hallway was quiet again, Brother Hu looked at Lin Pei with a pale face.

"Teacher Lin, even though I know you're acting, I'm still feeling a bit panicked."

"This effect is even scarier than the Action Team Leader you played."

"Teacher Lin, this little brother will take his leave."

"..."

...As expected.

Lin Pei's intimidation was very effective.

Regarding the matter of Brother Hu spending the night at his rental apartment, there really wasn't a single bit of news leaked onto the internet.

However, another piece of news about him suddenly surged to the top of the trending searches.

The cause was a post Brother Hu made directly on his Weibo.

It said that the depression that had plagued him for years had been cured by Lin Pei!

This post instantly shot to the top of the trending list.

It drew countless people's attention and shares.

Lin Pei's rental apartment was swamped!

He didn't even know who had leaked his home address.

And the majority of those who came looking for him were celebrities suffering from various degrees of depression.

These people originally didn't believe it, but Brother Hu's reply on Weibo was just too certain.

With a "might as well try" attitude, these people found their way to Lin Pei's home.

The celebrities didn't let Lin Pei lose out either; for every consultation, they paid him according to the highest rates for a Psychologist.

Compared to the Emotional Deception skills the system gave him, treating a psychological illness was a piece of cake.

With the mindset that not earning money when possible is a loss, Lin Pei sat down in his room and acted as a Psychologist on the spot.

He diagnosed the celebrities one by one, five minutes per person; the speed was quite fast.

When the first Celebrity came out of the rental apartment, the people waiting in line outside all rushed forward to ask.

"How is it? Do you feel any better?"

"Teacher Lin is truly a god; I feel like the symptoms that plagued me for so many years are all gone."

Brothers and sisters, hurry up and go in! It's definitely worth it."

With the first Celebrity as an example, everyone became even more eager.

They jostled each other, wanting to get a good spot for Lin Pei to see them... Just like that, Lin Pei was busy for an entire day before he finally cleared the "patients" blocking his door!

But the harvest was also quite bountiful; in a single day, he earned over three million in consultation fees.

"This money comes too fast; it seems treating illnesses is a good business."

"But I'm destined to be the man who becomes the best actor; treating illnesses is at most a way to earn some extra cash, once it's done, it's done."

What Lin Pei didn't know was that most of the celebrities he treated today were from the bottom tier.

There weren't any A-list top stars.

However, there were a lot of people, and many helped promote him.

Soon, Lin Pei's treatments were being described as miraculous.

Psychologist.

Spiritual Mentor.

Psychiatrist.

Academician of a famous Psychiatric Research Institute.

Lin Pei's abilities were spread more and more outrageously until finally, a phone call reached him.

"Hello, is this Dr. Lin?"

"My name is Lin Pei, but I'm not a doctor."

"It's fine, as long as it's you. I'm the director of our city's Anding Hospital, surname Sun."

"Hello, Director Sun."

"The reason I'm calling is that I want to hire Dr. Lin to be a specially appointed doctor for our Anding Hospital."

Wait, what?

Lin Pei was speechless.

He's a perfectly good actor who graduated from the Beijing Film Academy, and they're inviting him to be a Psychiatrist?

What kind of logic is this?

Director Sun's words were earnest and sincere.

"Dr. Lin, for the sake of the more than one hundred patients in our hospital, I sincerely implore you to help us treat them."

"It won't take much of your time. I see people saying you can treat one in five minutes; for our hundred-plus patients, it'll only take a day!"

"This would be a great act of merit, I beg you!"

Lin Pei fell silent.

Director Sun seemed to suddenly remember something.

"Oh, right, the consultation fees won't be lacking."

Lin Pei's expression shifted.

It's not out of the question.

"Fine, but only this once."

"My main profession isn't being a doctor; I don't have much interest in this."

Director Sun was overjoyed.

"Good, good, that's wonderful. Dr. Lin is at home, right? I'll come pick you up right now."

"Fifteen minutes, wait for me for fifteen minutes!"

As if afraid he would run away, Director Sun repeatedly urged him to wait a moment, saying he would drive over to pick him up shortly... That evening.

Under the shocked gazes of a crowd of doctors and nurses, Lin Pei walked out of the consultation room.

"Director, the tests just now show that all the patients' mental states are back to normal."

"It's truly miraculous. When the Director brought Dr. Lin back, I didn't believe it, but now I'm a total believer!"

"Where on earth did the Director find Dr. Lin? I've never seen this kind of technique for treating psychiatric patients."

"We should have Dr. Lin come to our hospital to hold consultations."
