Just as Xinping was about to charge again, the door suddenly swung open. 0
 
Her brother appeared at the doorway, looking anxious. Upon seeing Liu Jinming, his expression darkened. 0
 
"How dare you bully my sister!" he shouted angrily and rushed forward to hit him. 0
 
With each punch landing squarely on Liu Jinming's face, Xinping finally exhaled, stepping back to watch the scene unfold like a spectator. 0
 
"Stop hitting him," she reminded her brother. "The criminal act has already stopped; if you keep going, it won't be self-defense anymore." 0
 
Her brother was caught up in the moment, feeling a bit reluctant to stop, but he eventually ceased his assault. 0
 
"Just wait; this isn't over!" 0
 
Xinping pointed out, "It's already finished." 0
 
"Huh?" Her brother looked confused. 0
 
Xinping took out her phone: "I'm calling the police." 0
 
Taking a deep breath, she dialed the emergency number. 0
 
The police arrived quickly and first took me and my brother to the hospital. 0
 
Liu Jinming had suffered a fractured leg from the beating, and I had quite a few bruises myself. 0
 
After assessing our injuries, it was determined that Liu Jinming had sustained minor injuries while I had only slight injuries. 0
 
Since her brother was acting to prevent a crime, he faced no penalties. 0
 
All of my medical expenses would be covered by Liu Jinming. 0
 
By the time all the evidence and statements were completed, dawn was breaking. 0
 
I was utterly exhausted, and my brother drove me back to our parents' house. 0
 
When our parents saw us return, they were both surprised and delighted. 0
 
"Why are you back at this hour?" Mom asked with a smile. "Are you hungry? What do you want to eat? I'll make it for you." 0
 
I forced a smile: "Mom, I'm just too tired; I want to go back to my room and sleep for a bit." 0
 
 
Mom nodded, "Alright, go to sleep." 0
 
After I returned to my room, my brother pulled our parents into the study, looking mysterious, and I had no idea what they were discussing. 0
 
I slept all the way until the afternoon. 0
 
When I groggily woke up, I felt extremely hungry. As soon as I stepped out of my room, I was greeted by a rich aroma of food. The dining table was filled with various dishes, and my parents and brother were sitting there waiting for me. 0
 
Seeing me come out, Mom smiled and called out, "Are you hungry? Go wash your face quickly; it's time to eat." 0
 
I nodded obediently. 0
 
At the dinner table, Mom asked me with red eyes, "Xinping, we know about your situation..." She sighed and choked up, unable to continue. 0
 
Dad's eyes also turned red as he changed the subject, saying, "Let's eat first; we can talk about this after dinner." 0
 
My brother couldn't hold back and said, "That guy is really something else!" He slammed his hand on the table. 0
 
Dad shot him a glare, "Speak properly; don't scare your sister." 0
 
"Mom and Dad, don't worry; I won't let him off," I put down my chopsticks and solemnly promised, "I will make him pay for what he has done." 0
 
"Right," my brother agreed, "He must pay the price." 0
 
"I've already contacted Lawyer Liu," Dad said. "He made such a big mistake; he has to go to jail." 0
 
I nodded and reminded him, "Dad, only after he is held criminally responsible can our company terminate his employment contract; otherwise, it would be illegal." 0
 
"I know," Dad nodded. "You study law; you understand this best." 0
 
I smiled and said, "Of course, I want to use the legal knowledge I've learned to protect myself." 0
 
When the police were investigating, they searched Liu Jinming's phone. When the kind officer showed me the chat records, I was so angry that my hands were shaking. Liu Jinming detailed all his criminal activities and even told his mother everything about me. 0
