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

Chapter 21: Getting caught up in the drama myself?
Du Hexuan had been waiting for her to say those words, and immediately lowered his head, pretending to be thinking seriously.

After a long pause, he said uncertainly, "It's not an enemy, but I offended a big boss in the industry a few days ago."

The policewoman pushed up her glasses and typed furiously on her keyboard: "What's their name? Who are they? What made them your enemy? And how did you realize something was wrong and choose to call the police?"

Before arriving, Du Hexuan had already prepared his speech in his mind, and he explained the ins and outs of the matter clearly without any hesitation.

Upon learning that the female CEO named Jiang Huaiying had failed in her attempt to sexually harass the big star in front of her and had even suffered a hidden loss, the policewoman's hands flew across the keyboard, and her eyes shone brightly as she stared at the computer screen.

The internal staff who were originally handling other cases, and even the petty thugs next door who had been arrested for committing crimes, all put down what they were doing and looked over with bright eyes.

Du Anrao, who had been standing silently to the side as a background figure, quietly took a step back, distancing himself from his second brother.

[As expected, gossiping is an ingrained human instinct; these gossipers are obsessed with gossip, and the way they're staring at me is practically piercing through me!]

Du Hexuan, who was used to being the center of attention, stiffened slightly, experiencing for the first time what it meant to be embarrassed and socially awkward.

Perhaps realizing her unprofessional behavior, the policewoman coughed lightly and gave a warning glance to the crowd around her: "What are you looking at? Don't you have anything to do? Besides her, have you had any other conflicts with anyone else? Count the previous ones too."

After saying that, as if worried that Du Hexuan might have concerns, he added, "Don't worry, every word you say here, every word I record, is an internal secret and will absolutely not be revealed without the permission of the parties involved."

Du Anrao secretly glanced around, pretending to be nonchalant, but in reality, he couldn't help but steal glances at the crowd from time to time.

[Hmm, what you recorded could indeed be considered confidential, but what all those ears around here overheard certainly wasn't! I seriously suspect this young lady is a seasoned gossipmonger!]

Mr. and Mrs. Du looked up at the sky and down at the ground, struggling to suppress their laughter.

Du Hexuan had already concluded that this matter was related to Jiang Huaiying, so he naturally wouldn't make baseless accusations that would affect the police investigation.

Just as they were figuring out how to gloss over the question, a young male police officer in his early twenties ran out of the interrogation room next door.

"Sister Yao, a man couldn't withstand the questioning and changed his story. Those medicines weren't for Du Hexuan, they were for his sister."

"What?" The three members of the Du family stood up in unison, while Du Anrao, the person involved, looked completely bewildered and it took him a while to react.

What's this? I've become a bystander in this drama?

Du Hexuan, however, disregarded all that and grabbed the male police officer who had run out, coldly asking, "Did he really say that? Where is he? Where is he?"

The young man was startled, but he understood the victim's feelings and tried his best to comfort her: "Don't get agitated. According to that person's confession, their original plan was to drug you first, then take intimate photos of you, and then, in your name, call your sister out as well, and then..."

Then, as the saying goes, Du Hexuan's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

If Du Hexuan felt frustrated and resentful when he learned that Jiang Huaiying had used people around him to harm him, it was within his expectations and he didn't experience much emotional fluctuation.

But now that he knows the other party's target is Du Anrao, Du Hexuan is furious.

The female police officer in charge of taking the statements tapped on the table, drawing everyone's attention back: "This is an important clue, which also means that the scope of the investigation has been narrowed. The other party is very likely a common enemy with whom you and your sister have a grudge. Do you have any leads on this?"

"……Have."

"Name, identity, reason."

"It's the one I just mentioned. As for the reason, it's because my sister stepped in to save me when Jiang Huaiying was about to forcibly take me away. She single-handedly took on all eight of Jiang Huaiying's bodyguards, completely crushing her arrogance and sense of superiority. That's why I offended her." The policewoman paused in her note-taking, then turned and pulled her glasses down, looking at the group with her eyes wide open: "Excuse me, is your sister... the woman next to you?"

Du Anrao chuckled and waved to the other person like a lucky cat: "It's me."

In an instant, everyone's eyes in the hall were focused on Du Anrao.

After realizing that the other person was just a frail little girl, everyone's expressions froze instantly.

"..." You guys must be kidding me!

Despite the policewoman's questioning gaze, "Are you sure you're not lying to me?" Du Hexuan remained steadfast in his conviction that everything he said was true.

Finally, under the bewildered and strange gazes of the crowd, the group ended their routine questioning for the day.

"Next, we will focus our investigation on the Mr. Jiang you just mentioned. We will keep you informed of any progress."

How long does it usually take to get results?

Du Hexuan was not satisfied with the result. He couldn't put his mind at ease until Jiang Huaiying was arrested.

"I can't guarantee that, but I can say that we will start investigating as soon as possible. As long as we have evidence, we will definitely bring the person to justice. You can rest assured about that."

Du Hexuan frowned, and just as he was about to say something more, his younger sister's thoughts drifted over at the perfect moment.

[Actually, we could check their private bank transfers. Jiang Huaiying is such an arrogant person; she might use her own account to connect with them. Even if she doesn't, we can still follow that line of inquiry.]

Du Hexuan's eyes flickered slightly, and he suddenly asked Ni Fang, who had remained silent in the corner the whole time, "How much money did Jiang Huaiying give you to do this to me?"

Ni Fang shuddered, her gaze toward Du Hexuan growing increasingly sinister.

Du Hexuan really didn't understand why she hated him so much, and he was too lazy to investigate further.

He never expected to get an answer from her from the beginning. When he saw the policewoman looking thoughtful and then making a phone call to have someone investigate the transfer records, he knew that he had achieved his goal.

It was late at night when the questioning ended. Du Hexuan and the others had just been about to leave the police station when they were stopped by Zhou Shunzhe and Director Gao, who had rushed over.

"Why are you here?"

Zhou Shunzhe hurriedly checked on the two of them, and only after confirming that they were both alright did he calm down. He said irritably, "Your story has spread all over the place. How could I not come?"

Du Anrao and his companion exchanged a glance: "What is it?"

Zhou Shunzhe took out his phone and handed it to the two of them: "See for yourselves."

The four members of the Du family hurried over and took a closer look, only to find that they had been secretly photographed by a paparazzi when they got out of the car and entered the house. The paparazzi had then used the photo to create a sensational headline.

Actor Du Hexuan suspected of being arrested for allegedly engaging in shady dealings.

Du Hexuan: "???"
