Chapter 4The "Nice Guy" Challenge

I woke up in the hospital.

My parents and three brothers surrounded me.

Seeing them, I couldn't control my fear anymore and threw myself into their arms.

Who would have thought I'd be targeted just for working overtime?

Thinking of Jayden's hateful face, I couldn't stop shivering.

"Brothers, where is that guy? Is he locked up?"

Meeting my gaze, they all looked away.

"Jane, according to the surveillance video, it only shows him pestering you, giving you flowers, you leaning in his arms, and leaving with him. He didn't cause you substantial harm. The police just lectured him; they can't charge him."

"How can they not charge him!"

I was furious:

"Bro, he went against my will, insisting on taking me home. I refused, so he drugged the flowers, knocked me out, and took me away. I..."

"Right, the flowers! Just test the flowers, it proves he drugged me."

"Useless!"

"He destroyed the flowers. We have no evidence."

Big Brother clenched his fists, panting heavily, and punched the wall.

"That animal gave you flowers on purpose to pretend to be a suitor. Even if caught later, he can just claim it's a relationship dispute."

"Who would have thought he'd drug the flowers? Without evidence, and with him being an influencer with 500k followers, if he uses public opinion, he could turn it back on us..."

"Yeah, we suspect this isn't his first time. Otherwise, how could he be so skilled?"

Second Brother also frowned tightly.

I looked around and saw my parents peeling oranges, Big Brother and Second Brother, but Third Brother was missing.

"Where's Third Brother? Mom, Dad, Brothers, where did he go?"

He spoiled me the most; how could he not be here?

Dad's eyes turned red instantly:

"It's that animal. He tried to take you, so your Third Brother punched him a few times! He demanded an injury assessment, claimed he didn't fight back, and demanded the police detain your brother for assault. He's locked up."

"What! Third Brother just got first place in the civil service written exam. If he's detained, how can he be a civil servant? What do we do?"

I wiped my tears.

"Third Brother prepared for a year for this job. I saw how hard he worked. It's all my fault. I dragged him down."

"Why blame yourself? Blame that animal. If only we could find leverage on him..."

Big Brother's words struck me like lightning, clearing the chaos in my brain.

I grabbed their hands and said:

"Mom, Dad, Brothers, we might actually be able to find leverage."
