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

Chapter 24 I'm the unlucky one?!
The Du family members wholeheartedly agreed and couldn't help but want to manually give Du Anrao a thumbs up.

They overheard it just once, and they couldn't resist wanting to find some pomelo leaves to wash themselves and get rid of the bad luck.

Especially Du's parents, they finally understood why Du Anrao was so nervous when he saw Bai Xiuqing at home. Getting involved with such a person would mean their family would be severely injured, if not killed!

[I've gone off on a tangent. Just thinking about how my older brothers were ruined by those two bastards makes my stomach hurt with anger.]

Du Junyan: "..." That's right, my head is buzzing too.

Du Hexuan: "???" No, if you're talking about the older brother, just say so. What does it have to do with me?

[Boss Jia, to put it nicely, is petty and vindictive; to put it bluntly, he's narrow-minded. Whether Bai Xiuqing's story is true or not, the Du family took her in, so he has to get revenge; he's all about repaying kindness with enmity.]

The Du family members: "..." They were truly speechless at these two. One was a beast, and the other was scum. They wished them good luck and hoped they would never come out and harm others.

[It was also the second brother's bad luck. At the time, Boss Jia's primary target for revenge was the eldest brother; everyone else was secondary. And then, coincidentally, he got into trouble, so naturally he became the target.]

Compared to Du Junyan, who has been in the business world for many years, Du Hexuan, who is in the entertainment industry, is definitely easier to deal with. In addition, this is a knife that Du Hexuan himself foolishly handed over, so it would not be his style not to stab him in the back.

Thus, under Boss Jia's covert instigation, Du Hexuan, who was already being schemed against by Jiang Huaiying, became the target of everyone's ire.

At that time, the Du family members were either tied up or too busy to help each other, so no one could lend a hand.

The only person involved who could come forward to explain is still in the police station, so naturally, he can only let those people distort the truth and smear him at will.

By the time Du Hexuan came out and the Du family was finally able to free their hands, it was too late.

Du Hexuan: ...

I laughed at my brother for so long, only to find out in the end that I was the unlucky one!
What's most heartbreaking is that after Du's mother found out about this, she immediately created a group chat for the whole family to watch the drama unfold, and even changed the nicknames for her eldest and second sons in advance: Unlucky One and Unlucky Two.

Du's father, Du Yuxi, followed closely behind, each sending out a hilarious emoji.

Du Junyan: "..."

Du Hexuan: "..."

That's enough, your laughter is too loud and disturbing us.

Joking aside, everyone was genuinely frightened afterward.

If it weren't for Du Anrao, even if they had doubts about the child in Bai Xiuqing's womb, they would have given her a place to stay out of respect for her deceased parents.

But just like An'an said, once they take in someone, they'll be put on some pervert's revenge list.

Who would have thought that one day kindness would become a sin? It's truly impossible to guard against.

Thinking of this, everyone, like Du Anrao at that moment, breathed a sigh of relief.

Now things are better. Mom and Dad, being discerning, didn't believe Bai Xiuqing's framing of my older brother, and my older brother wasn't fooled by Bai Xiuqing's innocent appearance. Everyone's interactions with her ended that morning. I wonder who that unlucky person has gone to torment next.

In Du Anrao's view, a parasitic plant like Bai Xiuqing could not possibly survive on its own.

If Du Junyan's path is blocked, he will definitely look for other suckers.

This is a butterfly effect; Duane may not know it, but that doesn't mean nobody knows.

Knowing that his eldest son had almost suffered a loss that day, Du's father had assigned someone to keep an eye on Bai Xiuqing. Now, Du Anrao had piqued his curiosity, so he immediately messaged his eldest son in the group chat, asking him to explain.

Seeing this, Du's mother and Du Yuxi also started showering Du Junyan with sweet words, begging him to release some follow-up information to satisfy their curiosity.

Du Junyan: "..." They were just laughing at me, but now they're remembering my good points? Despite his complaints, Du Junyan eventually fulfilled everyone's wishes and posted some things he had recently found out in the group.

Just as Du Anrao had predicted, having lost Du Junyan, a valuable asset, Bai Xiuqing had no choice but to rely on Fang Cheng for the time being.

But Du Junyan had already traced her back to Fang Cheng, so how could he possibly let her live a happy life?

Not long after, Fang Cheng was fired for work-related misconduct.

Bai Xiuqing had always looked down on his meager income as an externally recruited doctor. Seeing that he had lost his job, she couldn't help but pack her bags and run away that very night, instead hooking up with a real estate manager surnamed Dou.

Du Junyan was still hesitating whether to continue to make things difficult for Bai Xiuqing, but he found that he didn't even need to lift a finger, as the man surnamed Dou was already in constant trouble and could hardly protect himself.

Du Junyan hadn't thought much of it before, but after listening to Du Anrao's analysis, he felt that it was most likely that Boss Jia who made the move.

Du Junyan shared this guess in the group chat, which immediately sparked a heated discussion among the members.

Everyone unanimously agreed that An'an was right; Bai Xiuqing was a jinx, and anyone who touched her would be unlucky!

After reviewing the plot and confirming that there was only one hidden danger that could have caused Du Hexuan's tragedy, and that it had been nipped in the bud, Du Anrao finally felt completely relieved.

She let out a soft sigh, stretched, and looked around, but suddenly her eyes widened.

[Huh? Was it just my imagination? I just saw my second brother's forehead suddenly light up?]

Mr. and Mrs. Du, who were drinking water, almost spit it in each other's faces. After swallowing it with great difficulty, they immediately turned to look at Du Hexuan's face, but saw nothing.

Mr. and Mrs. Du were greatly disappointed. They had just thought that their second son had suddenly undergone a genetic mutation and developed a third eye!

Du Hexuan knew without even thinking what these two unreliable people were thinking, and his lips twitched involuntarily.

Just as he was hesitating whether to reach out and touch his forehead to see if there was really a problem, a phone call successfully stopped him from acting on it.

"What did you say? Jiang Huaiying was arrested? When did this happen?"

"Jiang Huaiying has been arrested?" Mr. and Mrs. Du looked surprised.

Although they also wanted to send this vicious woman to jail as soon as possible, the police had their own procedures for handling cases, and even if they had suspicions, they could not immediately take action to arrest her.

The group was prepared to stay there for ten days or half a month to have a good talk with the other party, but they ended up... getting arrested?

"You want to come up to me? Okay, I'll wait for you upstairs."

Ten minutes later, the two knocked on Du Hexuan's hotel room door.

"Director Gao, what brings you here? Is something the matter?"

Director Gao awkwardly pointed to Zhou Shunzhe beside him and chuckled, "I came with him."

"...When did you two become so close?"

But that's not the point. The point is...

"How did you know Jiang Huaiying was arrested? Is the news confirmed?"

Director Gao's response was: "A friend of mine who works in the news media told me this, and it's absolutely true. He filmed it himself."
