The experts were still in a dilemma: it could be that she liked Xu Lie, or perhaps she was genuinely threatened. Both possibilities existed. Team Leader, don't forget about Hostage Identification Syndrome.
In Xu Lie's previous life, this phenomenon was known as Stockholm Syndrome. In the Script World, there hadn't been such a case; in psychology, it was referred to as Hostage Identification Syndrome.
In simple terms, it refers to the psychological condition where hostages, due to fear and intense emotional arousal, identify with and even assist their captors. Of course, these symptoms can vary in severity. If Lu Youyou exhibited any signs of this syndrome, it would undoubtedly be mild, as she ultimately confessed about being threatened.
Zhang Yutao nodded silently and activated the microphone in front of him: "Mo Meilin, ask her when she was threatened and clarify the details."
Receiving the command through her earpiece, Mo Meilin reached out and gently pressed her hand against Lu Youyou's hand, as if to offer warmth. "Don't be afraid; there's no need for any worry or fear. Our Special Investigation Team is currently tracking Xu Lie. He won't have any chance to harm you or your family again."
Lu Youyou slightly lowered her head, her bangs partially obscuring her somewhat awkward gaze. "Big sister, I'm sorry," she thought to herself; she wasn't afraid at all.
Lu Youyou simply repeated the absurd reasoning that Xu Lie had concocted with his toes, not believing for a second that he would do such a thing. Or rather, Xu Lie had not harmed anyone in either of the bombing incidents, which earned him Lu Youyou's trust. She knew he wouldn't hurt anyone; he only intended to change the New Marriage Law that had harmed his sister.
However, faced with the big sister's comfort, Lu Youyou couldn't remain indifferent; she could only nod slowly to express her gratitude and that she felt somewhat comforted.
Mo Meilin envied the young girl's flawless skin while asking, "Could you specify when exactly you were threatened by Xu Lie? With clues like that, we can further investigate him and prevent him from harming your family."
Having prepared her response in advance, Lu Youyou finally revealed: "It was during the Gene Building arson incident. I accidentally saw Xu Lie at the scene of the arson."
He threatened me that if I didn't keep it a secret, he would blow up my whole family.
Perhaps having spoken too much, what had originally been difficult for Lu Youyou to articulate—the threat to her family—now came out unusually smoothly.
Zhang Yutao took notes as he listened. It was clearly written that according to the surveillance timeline, Xu Lie and Lu Youyou had only met again a week after the building explosion.
Did Xu Lie really believe he could threaten Lu Youyou? He allowed her a week of free movement without worrying that she might report him? Or did Xu Lie secretly monitor Lu Youyou without her noticing?
That seemed unlikely; during that time, Xu Lie had also gone to Xing Cheng for several days.
The more Zhang Yutao thought about it, the more suspicious it became. He issued another directive: "Mo Meilin, ask her about their second meeting."
Mo Meilin relayed this question, and Lu Youyou replied that she had invited Xu Lie out for dinner to thank him.
At this point, there was no need for Zhang Yutao's guidance; Mo Meilin could sense the oddity herself: why?
After being threatened by Xu Lie, why would she still invite him to dinner? Any normal person wouldn’t act in such a way, repaying malice with kindness, right?
Lu Youyou was taken aback; this question was something Xu Lie hadn’t taught her! How should she respond?
The sudden silence in the small room became increasingly uncomfortable for Lu Youyou.
Never mind, she decided to speak honestly: "Is it really that strange? At that time, he pulled me out of the fire at Gene Building. Regardless of whether Xu Lie started the fire, he helped me escape danger."
Shouldn’t she express her gratitude?
Her words left the Special Investigation Team speechless.
Mo Meilin and Zhang Yutao, both psychology experts, were momentarily silent, unable to find anything to say.
In their hearts, they couldn't help but think that this girl was a bit naïve!
