Most of the people who came to cause trouble had close relationships with Hu Yueying and Li Yan'an. When they heard Ye Yun say this, they looked at each other in bewilderment.

Immediately, everyone turned their resentful gazes toward Hu Yueying.

The overwhelming fear made her take two steps back, shaking her head and waving her hands repeatedly, saying, "No, I didn't..."

"Hu Yueying, you knew to tell Li Yan'an to sell the gold, but you didn't know to tell us?"

The woman next to Boss Liu glared at Hu Yueying with her eyes wide open and gritted her teeth, her resentment almost overflowing from her eyes.

"I just forgot for a moment!"

Hu Yueying lost her voice in defense.

Actually, she hadn't forgotten; she just deliberately didn't tell anyone.

These people are very pragmatic. When you have money and connections, they'll all grab your arm when they see you, calling you "sister" this and "sister" that, even closer than blood sisters born of the same parents.

As a result, once her backer fell from grace, these people simply washed their hands of her and didn't even remember who she was.

When Li Yan'an was kicked out of the company and home after his falling out with Wu Yujun, he was penniless and had no connections. She even swallowed her pride and begged her former girlfriends to use their influence to help Li Yan'an.

As a result, they refused to acknowledge her.

She saw through these people and couldn't be bothered to tell them that the price of gold would fall.

Secondly, she was afraid that the news would be leaked and Li Yan'an would find out.

She couldn't be happier that Li Yan'an would fail to earn 100,000 yuan, lose the bet, and become penniless.

At that time, she will be the only one by Li Yan'an's side. Li Yan'an will eventually discover her goodness, accept her, and marry her.

Now, everything is as she wished.

But!

Li Yan'an actually revealed in public that she knew the price of gold would plummet. Wasn't that harming her?

She absolutely cannot admit it.

Otherwise, she would become their punching bag.

Hu Yueying was well aware of the consequences of becoming the target of everyone's criticism. Her eyes widened, and she pointed at Ye Yun in the factory, saying, "She's the one sowing discord! Don't be fooled by her; she's doing this to make us fight amongst ourselves!"

"It's no use making trouble for me. I don't have any money to compensate you. The only way you can succeed is to gang up on her!"

Everyone snapped back to reality upon hearing this.

Damn it, they almost got fooled by Ye Yun.

"What's all this commotion? Let me see who dares to cause trouble in broad daylight!"

Just as everyone was about to continue teasing Ye Yun, a stern voice rang out from behind, and Zheng Song, dressed in a police uniform, appeared with two of his men.

Zheng Songren is as his name suggests.

He was tall and robust, exuding strength, standing proudly among the crowd like a pine tree.

As he walked through the crowd, he was half a head taller than the average person, forming a stark contrast with the balding and pot-bellied bosses, like a crane among chickens.

"The police station received a report that someone was causing trouble at the entrance of Lantian Garment Factory, which has seriously affected the operation of the garment factory."

Zheng Song walked through the crowd to the front, first nodding to Ye Yun in greeting, then turning his head to coldly look at the group of troublemakers behind him.

"I want to see who's so bold as to cause trouble at this critical juncture!"

Boss Liu recognized Zheng Song.

He quickly offered her a cigarette, smiling obsequiously, "Captain Zheng, what brings you here in person?"

Zheng Song glanced coldly at the cigarette offered to him, raised his hand, and used the notebook in his hand to block it, his expression indifferent: "You don't need to smoke, Boss Liu. Did you bring these people?"

Seeing that he wouldn't take the cigarette, Mr. Liu could only awkwardly put the cigarette back in the pack and put it in his pocket.

"Captain Zheng, it's like this, we've all come to Mr. Ye to demand justice for the plummeting price of gold."

"Fairness?" Zheng Song laughed. "I've heard about your situation. It's a normal transaction. You buy, she sells. Once it's sold, she's not responsible. Whether you make money or not depends entirely on your personal judgment. Gold is an investment, and investments always carry risks. What right do you have to demand fairness from the seller?"

Mr. Liu was dumbfounded.

Why is this person taking Ye Yun's side as soon as they arrive?

With a solemn face, Zheng Song continued, "The country is currently giving strong support to the development of enterprises. Every enterprise is a brick on the road to national development. Only when enterprises develop well can the country have enough strength to develop. But you are hindering the development of enterprises!"

"What? You want to go in?"

Upon hearing this, Boss Liu panicked. "No, Captain Zheng, we didn't mean that..."

"Then why aren't you leaving yet?"

"But I..."

"There are no buts." Zheng Song didn't have time to waste with someone like him. He raised his hand, pointed his notebook at the police car parked on the side of the road, and said firmly, "You can leave on your own, or I'll take you back and lock you up for a few days for disturbing the peace. Choose one."

"I……"

Mr. Liu had no way to explain his predicament. Why was he suddenly being taken back and locked up?

Zheng Song, however, turned to the people behind him, his gaze authoritative, and said in a strong voice, "You're not leaving, do you want to go in with Boss Liu?"

The group looked at each other in bewilderment.

Faced with Zheng Song's imposing presence, they dared not continue their antics, since they were indeed in the wrong.

But the thought of the money they lost in just half a day was truly disheartening.

Don't want to leave? No problem.

Zheng Song turned to his men and ordered in a deep voice, "Go and borrow a Dongfeng truck from Boss Ye. I'll personally take these people back to the station."

The subordinates immediately responded.

When the troublemakers saw that he was serious, they immediately became intimidated, hurriedly shifting blame to each other and saying goodbye to Zheng Song incoherently.
