Who would study psychology unless they had some issues?!

Wang Zhenhai's answer made the audience show signs of wanting to stir again.

But everyone is an adult, having been reminded twice by the presiding judge for previous disturbances, they've learned their lesson. So now they didn't overdo it; the whispers have notably decreased.

Because of this, their discussions lasted longer.

"This statement... is a bit narcissistic, this young expert nailed it..."

"Made a fortune by luck, thinking it's personal ability, and wanted to use tricks to keep earning, of course this leads to losing money..."

"Still thinking like this now, truly remarkable..."

No matter what these professional experts in the court think, psychology is quite awe-inspiring to the general public. After completing a session of Micro-expression Analysis earlier, spectators' inclinations had unconsciously leaned toward Nan Zhubin.

Nan Zhubin's psychological professional conclusions were fairly credible to the people in the audience.

It's a pity there's no jury system domestically, otherwise Nan Zhubin would've already won.

In the corner of the audience sat an uncle in a blue uniform, presumably here to observe and learn. At this moment, watching Nan Zhubin, he seemed thoughtful: "This kind of analysis method is very much like profiling..."

On the witness stand, Nan Zhubin was unaware of the commotion in the audience, but Wang Zhenhai seemed pricked, looking around frantically.

Wang Zhenhai seemed to want to say something more, but Nan Zhubin didn't question him again. In witness-to-witness segments, besides necessary cooperation, others are prohibited from speaking.

To prevent disrupting the court's order, Wang Zhenhai's strong urge for venting was suppressed once again by the defendant's lawyer.

Wang Zhenhai couldn't help but growl softly at the defense lawyer: "Aren't you going to object? He's saying I'm mentally ill! Isn't this character defamation? Object now, maybe the presiding judge won't let him continue submitting evidence!"

The defense lawyer slightly leaned his head back, disliking clients who attempt to direct lawyers in court.

But to control sound, the defense lawyer had to lean back in: "He didn't say you were crazy, the accusation mentioned is 'mental disorder'..."

[Why do I, the lawyer, have to make such anti-stigmatization explanations? Isn't there a psychology expert standing not far away?] The defense lawyer couldn't help but mutter inwardly.

There's still severe stigmatization of mental illness and even of psychological disorders among locals, why can't these psychologists do their primary work well, now making court work so difficult!

No way to communicate with the client!

The defense lawyer glanced at Wang Zhenhai, took a deep breath: "Now's not the right time to object... Trust me, once he finishes speaking, refuting it all at once will be more effective!"

...

The defense lawyer hadn't realized yet what consequences his actions would bring.

Nan Zhubin, however, clearly understood what he was doing at that moment.

Almost at the final step.

He started explaining the last disorder in Supplementary Evidence Two — Paranoid Personality Disorder

"Paranoid Personality Disorder is usually manifested as a pattern of pervasive distrust and suspicion regarding others, leading the individual to frequently view others' motives as malevolent."

Nan Zhubin glanced at Wang Zhenhai: "For the defendant, Wang Zhenhai, the most prominent feature of Paranoid Personality Disorder is 'excessive suspicion' and 'persistent resentment.' After failing in investments and being deceived in business, he felt targeted by society and began to retaliate, forming a fraud ring to engage in illegal activities. From this perspective, his paranoid thinking patterns intersect with antisocial and narcissistic personality disorders."

A person's behavior pattern may fit the diagnostic criteria of multiple different disorders; it depends on which overall behavior pattern aligns better with the individual.

Of course, it's also possible that the person has more than one issue.

"Secondly, 'loyalty suspicion.' This symptom manifests as unfounded suspicion of the loyalty and trust of friends, colleagues, and subordinates." Nan Zhubin continued, "The chat logs of Wang Zhenhai's ring show that employees' flattery not only fulfilled Wang Zhenhai's narcissism but served to dispel Wang Zhenhai's doubts."

"In other words, this method of communication among employees has been pressured out by Wang Zhenhai's tendency to suspect."

Sitting in the defendant's seat weren't just Wang Zhenhai and the defense lawyer, but other 'key members' of the ring as well. They just hadn't been the main characters in this segment, so their presence had been low before.

Perhaps it's a hallucination, after hearing Nan Zhubin's words, these 'key members' subtly shifted, away from Wang Zhenhai.

Suddenly, revealing a look of agreement.

The defense lawyer felt the turmoil in Wang Zhenhai's mind grow more intense—whether due to the 'key members' actions or Nan Zhubin's words.

—Indeed, Nan Zhubin's wording had become more and more direct.

Initially, Nan Zhubin would use professional terminology whenever possible to refer to Wang Zhenhai, and the terms were neutral.

But now, the things Nan Zhubin spoke were in much more plain language, and the hostility in his words was increasing.

However, the defense lawyer still didn't plan to shout objections; he thought Nan Zhubin should be finishing soon, no need to step this time.
