Duan Qingfeng picks up the call and answers “yes” for several times without saying anything else. Ko Chen is more puzzled when he hears that, but Uncle Zhang comes in with a bearded man when he is about to ask. “Dr. Duan, this gentleman said he came for you.” Duan Qingfeng bumps his shoulder with the big beard man, leads him to Ko Chen, and introduces him, “Arron, the world famous hypnotist, you can call him Ding Yi. He is Ko Chen, my best friend and the boss of Ko’s company.”

Ko could see Ding Yi’s face clearly until he approaches him, especially his blue eyes, which seem to be able to speak and seduce. With unskilled Chinese, Ding Yi reaches out his hand to Ko Chen, “Nice to meet you, Mr. Ko.” Ko Chen also stretches out his hand, but his eyes still unconsciously drift toward the direction of Duan Qingfeng, and he asks him in silence what is going on. Duan Qingfeng stands next to Ding Yi and explains, “don’t you want to know whether the situation of Yu Yu is authentic or acting? Compared with the medical examination, Ding Yi is better than me to judge that.”

Ko Chen understands immediately, “do you mean to make Ding Yi hypnotize Yu Yu and force her to tell the truth?” Duan Qingfeng snaps, saying with pride, “that’s it.” Ko Chen doesn’t say anything, just focusing on Ding Yi. After thinking about it, he reckons that Duan ‘s words are reasonable, so he agrees: “Fine, let Uncle Zhang take Mr. Ding in and say that he is the doctor who will replace you for the examination.” “Then we watch the whole process through monitoring in the study.” Duan Qingfeng swaggers on the sofa and answers.

Hearing that, Ko Chen is stupefied instead and asks Duan Qingfeng after glancing at Ding Yi, “we can watch the process?” Duan Qingfeng knows what Ko Chen is thinking about. He laughs and says slowly, “although some hypnotists say that the process can’t be watched by outsiders, Ding Yi does the contrary. I asked him before. He means that others can’t copy him even if they watch it.” Generally, a general hypnotist will not say that, and Ko Chen can’t help but look forward to the performance of Ding Yi.

Uncle Zhang takes Ding Yi to Yu Yu’s room and explains the situation according to Ko Chen’s words. Ko and Duan keep their eyes on the surveillance video. Even in the video, it can be seen that Yu Yu’s face is not good-looking, somewhat morbid. Duan Qingfeng is a little surprised, “how can she be like that without his seeing her just for a day?” Ko Chen does not answer, just continuing to stare at the monitoring screen. After listening to Uncle Zhang’s words, Yu Yu just glances at Ding Yi and doesn’t say a word.

Ding Yi steps forward and takes the initiative to say hello to her, “Hello, my name is Ding Yi, you can call me Dr. Ding.” Yu Yu does not respond to Ding Yi, and even does not look at him, just staring at her folded hands with unfocused eyes, and it can not be perceived what she is thinking about. Noticing the state of Yu Yu, Duan Qingfeng gradually stops his joking face, and becomes dignified, looking at the monitoring screen in silence with Ko Chen.

Ding Yi motions to Uncle Zhang with his eyes. Uncle Zhang withdraws and closes the door. Only Ding Yi and Yu Yu are left in the room. Yu Yu is still immersed in her own world without any action. Ding Yi pulls a chair to the bedside and sits down. He looks at Yu Yu with his deep eyes and observes her for several seconds. Then he slowly opens his mouth, “Miss Yu, do you feel any discomfort?” Yu Yu seems to have not heard his words, and does not make any response. Her current state is like setting a barrier between her and the outside world, and she is indifferent to other things.

Recalling the information that Duan Qingfeng told him before, Ding thinks about it and decides to ask in a different way: “Mr. Ko said that he would come after work.” The name “Mr. Ko” is like a thunderbolt, which suddenly wakes Yu Yu. She immediately raises her head and looks at Ding Yi with her eyes wide open. And then she says the first sentence: “what do you say?” Ding is relieved until Yu Yu is willing to talk to him. He thinks that it would be effective to mention Mr. Ko. However, he does not show anything on his face and just repeats the sentence just now.

Unexpectedly, Yu Yu is suddenly excited. She grabs the pillow behind her and throws it at Ding Yi in the next second. Fortunately, Ding Yi is quick to escape the attack. “You lie!” Her voice sounds hoarse and exhausted. The ferocious expression on her face makes her look a bit terrible. Ding Yi is still very calm, completely unaffected by Yu Yu’s mood. He looks at her and replies calmly, “I didn’t lie. If needed, you can check my call record.” With that, Ding Yi takes out his mobile phone, presses his finger on the screen, transfers to the page of call record and hands it to Yu Yu. The contact of the latest call record is Ko Chen.

Yu Yu’s manic mood calms down a little. She stares at the screen of the mobile phone, and  suddenly shows a smile which contains no emotion. “Chen…” She is like a doll with no feelings, blinking her big eyes and murmuring a word. Ding Yi understands now. Sure enough, Ko Chen is Yu Yu’s obsession, and he asks: “now can you believe me?” Yu Yu still doesn’t say anything, but it is much better than her complete disregard before, and she doesn’t immerse herself in her spiritual world.

Ding Yi thinks that it is time to act. He takes out a gold pocket watch from his pocket and hangs it in front of Yu Yu. “Look at me.” His tone changes all of a sudden which becomes deeper and sounds so magnetic that she gets immersed in it unconsciously. Ko Chen has been watching the screen through the monitoring, and when he hears Ding Yi’s voice he can’t help being stunned for a moment, and only by Duan’s knocking, does he slowly come to his senses.

“Don’t be too fascinated. Ding Yi is so amazing that even if he is not in front of you, you may be hypnotized by him.” It is the first time for Ko to see a hypnotist in person. He didn’t believe in Ding’s novelty before, but now it seems that Ding Yi’s strength is as powerful as Duan Qingfeng said. It’s just that sentence that almost makes him lose his mind. In the room, Yu Yu’s eyes unconsciously move with the shaking pocket watch and gradually lose the focus.
