This was the first time Zhang Da Dao had witnessed the "Emperor of Shadows" giving a full performance, and it truly lived up to his nickname. The couple was also fooled by the "Emperor of Shadows," or perhaps they had never suspected anything from the start. After all, the idea of a patient pretending to be a doctor is something you only see in TV shows and movies; no one would think it could happen in real life.

The man recounted his son's situation in detail. It wasn't a big deal, and after listening, Zhang Da Dao sighed inwardly about the lack of sex education in China. It turned out that this boy, Wang Hao, had been harassing girls in his class and engaging in some peeping. Unfortunately, he was also very honest and had recorded his thoughts in a notebook. When the notebook was discovered, it spread throughout the class in a day, and there were even plans to spread it to the entire school, much like the hand-copied porn books of the past.

Wang Hao was usually very quiet, and the female lead in his class cried her eyes out, almost calling the police. Even the teacher thought the boy was psychologically disturbed, and the parents were scared, bringing their son for a check-up, hoping it wouldn't affect his transfer to another school.

If they had met a competent doctor, the boy could have been educated about sex and psychology, and with some guidance, the issue could have been resolved. But the boy's luck was really bad, and he ended up with the "Emperor of Shadows" for a "screen test." Zhang Da Dao couldn't imagine how this fake psychiatrist and psychologist would handle the situation.

As soon as the middle-aged man finished speaking, the "Emperor of Shadows" frowned and posed with the stack of test results. The woman became anxious and asked, "Doctor, is there really something wrong? As I see it, it's not a big deal. At this age, which boy isn't curious about the opposite sex? Some of them even go to hotels, and nothing happens to them. Why are they only targeting our Hao Hao? Isn't it because our child is introverted and easy to bully?"

The "Emperor of Shadows" chuckled and said, "You say it's nothing? Can you decide that?" He used the internet slang "you-can-you-up," and the woman immediately shut up.

The man quickly offered a cigarette to the "Emperor of Shadows" and said, "Doctor, please calm down and speak slowly."

The "Emperor of Shadows" raised his hand and said, "No," which made Zhang Da Dao raise an eyebrow. They could smoke, but they couldn't have a lighter. They always had to ask the doctor, so they couldn't smoke much. The "Emperor of Shadows" clearly knew how to smoke and had a strong addiction, but he refused, showing a lot of effort. After looking at the test results for a while, the "Emperor of Shadows" said slowly:

"What you described isn't a big deal. It's just a problem with sexual education. With some correction and a psychological counseling course, it should be fine. But there are other issues that are more troublesome!"

The couple first breathed a sigh of relief, then immediately became tense. Zhang Da Dao watched their expressions and felt a sense of satisfaction. The couple was covered in blue and red light, indicating they were in for some bad luck. The "Emperor of Shadows" was the opposite, and he would probably be the one to suffer soon.

The boy, Wang Hao, remained expressionless, neither blue nor red, showing a calm demeanor. He silently endured his father's angry beatings without any expression. Zhang Da Dao shook his head and thought, "If this boy continues like this, he'll end up with another patient."

The "Emperor of Shadows" started to guide the conversation towards "autism" and "depression," and the couple's faces became paler. Since many celebrities in the entertainment industry had depression, the public had been educated, but the education was a bit excessive, making depression seem like a terminal illness.

The "Emperor of Shadows" became more and more excited, exaggerating the conditions of several depressed patients in the ward, making the woman cry and hug her child as if he were about to die. Zhang Da Dao found it very amusing, originally thinking the "Emperor of Shadows" was abnormal and not liking him much. But after this, he found the guy quite entertaining.

Just as the "Emperor of Shadows" and Zhang Da Dao were enjoying themselves, the door to the clinic suddenly opened, and a short, fat middle-aged man stood there, stunned. Everyone, including the fat man in a white coat, was also stunned. Zhang Da Dao recognized him; he was the head of the psychological counseling department, Dr. Guo, the "Panda Grandpa" mentioned by the mole.

Just as Zhang Da Dao thought the case was about to be solved, the "Emperor of Shadows" calmly straightened the test results, suddenly stood up, pointed at Dr. Guo, and demanded, "Guo Zongkang! You're pretending to be a doctor again! Whose white coat did you steal?"

The entire room was stunned, and the couple and Zhang Da Dao's faces were all very colorful. The couple didn't expect such a classic scene, and Zhang Da Dao didn't expect the "Emperor of Shadows" to remain so calm and take the initiative, turning the tables. Even Wang Hao, who had been expressionless, showed a hint of excitement and excitement.

Indeed, such a scene couldn't be seen anywhere else. The "Emperor of Shadows" caught Dr. Guo off guard, but Dr. Guo, being an old hand, looked at the people in the room, smiled, nodded at the couple, and turned to leave!

Zhang Da Dao immediately knew it was bad. This fat man was a sly old fox and would surely call security and orderlies. The "Emperor of Shadows" pouted, picked up the phone, and pretended to call for help. Zhang Da Dao quickly stood up, walked to the "Emperor of Shadows" in front of the couple's surprised eyes, pressed the phone, and patted his shoulder, saying, "Alright, you're caught!"

Then, Zhang Da Dao turned and left without hesitation. The "Emperor of Shadows" jumped up and shouted, "Yeah!" and shook hands and hugged the couple, even making Wang Hao join in the celebration.

Zhang Da Dao didn't have the mood to stay and watch the commotion. He hurriedly ran down the stairs, complaining, "Mistake, mistake! I forgot to check my own fortune! If everyone else is in trouble, how can I escape?"

At that moment, the "Emperor of Shadows'" voice faintly came from above, "What are you doing! What are you doing! I have to go to the set tomorrow, don't touch me, ah!"

Zhang Da Dao's pace quickened, and he muttered, "Good, good, they must have taken the elevator!" He was relieved he had run fast. Given the situation, the people in the hospital were probably in a bad mood, and the "Emperor of Shadows" would likely suffer. If things went badly, he might have to stay in the isolation ward for a few days.

Despite this, Zhang Da Dao felt no guilt. He often had to be isolated for a few days, and the saying "let the Taoist die, not the poor Taoist" naturally meant he should run first. Zhang Da Dao ran quickly and soon left the outpatient department through a side door, rushing back to Building 3.

He rushed into the room that patients and doctors called the observation room, sat down, and before he could catch his breath, Old Han appeared from somewhere, pressed Zhang Da Dao's head, and said, "You're finally back. I heard in the duty room that Dr. Xiao will be here soon. I heard you and the 'Emperor of Shadows' caused a big mess in the outpatient department?"

Zhang Da Dao shuddered and whispered, "Trouble, I can run from the Taoist but not from the observer!"
