Mind reading saves the whole family; I'm firmly in the role of a charlatan.

Chapter 306 This family will fall apart without her.
He was more of a trusted confidant than a bodyguard.

The last time Du Junyan met Jia Yunxiao, this person was standing very close to him.

"Boss Jia? Jia Yunxiao?!" Du Anrao pondered for a moment before realizing who his elder brother was talking about, and jumped up in shock. "Brother, how did you get involved with him?"

Du Junyan was reluctant to tell Du Anrao about this because he was worried that she would become overly nervous upon learning about this legendary outlaw. He never expected that despite all his precautions, this person failed to cause trouble for him and the company and instead set his sights on his sister.

Thinking of this, Du Junyan's expression turned even uglier: "Do you still remember Bai Xiuqing?"

"of course."

[That was the first piece of gossip I heard after I got home. My older brother almost became the wronged heir in a melodramatic, morally bankrupt romance novel, not only raising someone else's child for that brainless, scheming woman, but also suffering retaliation from that outlaw, idiotic male lead, ultimately ending up bankrupt and wiped out.]

Xi Jingyue, who had also come as a victim, had a slight glint in his eyes. He finally figured out what kind of gossip this was related to the eldest son of the Du family.

No wonder the little guy is always sighing and looking anxious. The eldest brother almost let go of the guy who was taking advantage of him and was retaliated against. The second brother hid his identity and worked in the entertainment industry. He was sexually harassed by a rich woman and almost got framed and banned online. The third brother is even worse. He is obviously a big shot, but he was reduced to an NPC tool in the love story between the male and female leads. Not only were his research results stolen, but he also died.

Even her fourth sister, who had swapped identities with her, still had a hidden identity and almost fell victim to a fake innocent female lead.

Thinking about it carefully, there wasn't a single person in this family who was easy to deal with. Luckily, she had the script as a cheat code, and these family members really believed in and loved her. Otherwise, this family would really fall apart without her!
Du family members: Pfft...

Du Junyan: "..." Let's not bring up the past anymore. He didn't do anything stupid, so why was he mocked twice? It's so unfair!
"Thanks to your reminder that day, my brother didn't fall for her tricks and accept the child in her belly."

Du Anrao blinked, looking confused: "Didn't you just happen to get the hidden video from the hotel room that night, and that woman ran away because she felt guilty?"

Du Junyan: "..." I almost forgot about that!

"Ahem, that's not important. What's important is that she failed to fool us that day and ran away with the child. Unexpectedly, a month or two later, she suddenly barged into our company with a man. The man claimed to be the biological father of the child in Bai Xiuqing's belly and came to me to confront me."

"No, is he crazy? Why is he coming to you to interrogate you?"

[In the original storyline, the older brother was simply using the title of Bai Xiuqing's fiancé to raise her child, and only got involved with Jia Yunxiao after being ruthlessly betrayed by this brainless female lead. But the reality is that the older brother wasn't tricked into raising the child or taking in that woman at all, so how did he end up being targeted by this super-male lead? This doesn't make sense!]

"Um... I mean, why is he causing you trouble for no reason? Could it be that he's trying to avenge Bai Xiuqing, feeling that we treated her badly by not accepting her slander back then, taking her in and providing her with a life of luxury?"

"That might be one of the reasons, but the main reason is that he believes Bai Xiuqing has a very close relationship with our family."

"A close relationship...? A close relationship to kick someone out? What's wrong with this man's thinking? No, after that woman left our house, has she been wandering around, all alone, with no one to take her in?"

"No, I had someone check later. After leaving our house, she stayed at the homes of several male friends and was living quite comfortably."

[The older brother's words are quite tactful; "backup plan" is fine, but calling him a "male friend" is giving these scumbags too much face.]

Du family members: Pfft... We've been rigorously trained and rarely laugh out loud, but oh no, we can't hold it in any longer!

Du Junyan: "..." No, he really didn't intend to save face for them. "If that's the case, why is he coming to you instead of the male friends who agreed to let Bai Xiuqing stay at his home temporarily?"

How do you know he didn't contact them?

Du Anrao: "???"

Du's mother coughed lightly and explained, "In fact, after that, a victim who had taken in Bai Xiuqing and suffered severe retaliation from that Mr. Jia came to your eldest brother, hoping to get his help."

Mr. Du: "From him, your eldest brother unexpectedly learned that there were several other people who had experienced the same thing as him."

Du Hexuan: "Because of this, we reasonably suspect that after the man found Bai Xiuqing, he didn't spare any of the elderly people and children that Bai Xiuqing had contacted outside, or any cats and dogs that she had touched, as long as they were male."

Du Anrao: "..." What a stunner! No, what an incredible person! I overestimated this guy's limits!
"So what did he say to you when he went to the company? Did he hit you?" Du Anrao stood up and carefully examined Du Junyan, worried that his handsome, reliable, and wealthy older brother might become a disabled person with missing arms and legs if he wasn't careful.

"No, he just came and said a few harsh words, threatening me to give in to him or he would attack you."

"Damn, that's so outrageous."

"Then, I called the police and reported him."

Du Anrao: "???"

When talking about his past feats, Du Junyan unconsciously straightened his back, feeling that his decision back then was absolutely brilliant.

The rest of the Du family shuddered upon hearing this. When would they stop laughing when they heard this? Oh no, they really couldn't hold back anymore!

It took Du Anrao a long time to react before he realized what an earth-shattering feat his older brother had accomplished. He raised his hand and gave him a thumbs up: "Big brother, you're really awesome."

[Perhaps I'm being too narrow-minded. Just because there's no law in novels doesn't mean there isn't in reality! When you encounter such lawless outlaws, you should use the law to punish them.]

Upon hearing this, Du Junyan felt all the pent-up frustration in his heart vanish, and his face was filled with satisfaction and pride.

Mr. Du said with a hint of sourness, "What a load of rubbish. If he hadn't messed around like that, he wouldn't have offended that guy so badly. Not only was the company attacked for no reason, but you and Lao San almost got into trouble too."

"Has something happened to our company?"

"It's alright, don't worry. Your older brother made preparations in advance. Not only did the company's stock price not fall, it even hit the daily limit. Several corrupt officials who sold company secrets have also been exposed."

"That's good." Du Anrao breathed a sigh of relief, then changed the subject, speaking up for his older brother, "Dad, you can't say that. Even if my brother hadn't called the police, given that Mr. Jia's ruthless and indiscriminate nature when it comes to revenge, do you think he might use my brother's left foot entering the company first as a reason to retaliate against our family one day?"

Father Du: "..." I was speechless!
