Around noon.

The tranquil garment factory was adorned with soft, white snow, and cotton boots crunched and sang as they stepped on the snow.

Ye Yun was walking into the production workshop.

Suddenly, a noisy commotion arose ahead. Ye Yun looked up and saw several people escorting a thin, frail figure out of the workshop.

The first thing to be hit was Lü Fangfang's cursing—

"Behave yourself! The factory manager has to see what a despicable woman like you is like!"

"Back in our hometown, I heard you were always going against Ye Yun. I never expected you to follow me all the way to the city and even try to set fire to the warehouse. Look at how capable you are!"

"If Ye Yun doesn't teach you a lesson today, I'll show you how powerful your great-aunt Fangfang is!"

The thin, frail figure was forced to keep his head down by several men. His loose braid, hanging down to one side, was being pulled by Lü Fangfang. Although he could only walk with his head down, being dragged along by Lü Fangfang's braid, the ferocity in his eyes was still so obvious.

As the noise grew closer, Ye Yun could finally see clearly who was being grabbed by the braid by Lü Fangfang.

It was Ye Xue.

She was dumbfounded. Ye Xue, whom she had been searching for for so long, was actually in her garment factory?

"Ye Yun!"

Upon seeing Ye Yun, Lü Fangfang immediately shook off Ye Xue and ran excitedly towards her.

The little girl ran fast and quickly reached Ye Yun, grabbing her arm and boasting, "Ye Yun, I caught a bad guy! Look!"

At this moment, the soldier and several other men had already brought Ye Xue to Ye Yun's side.

The soldier's face was slightly pale, and his forehead was covered in a layer of cold sweat from tension. When he spoke, he was still in shock: "Factory manager, it was terrifying! When Fangfang grabbed the person, she was holding a match in her hand. She almost set our fabric warehouse on fire!"

He was so nervous that his voice trembled slightly.

The person was discovered by Lü Fangfang.

Because Lü Fangfang was clumsy, Ye Yun didn't assign her a job like a regular female worker, but just let her stay in the factory and learn from others.

But Lü Fangfang was unwilling. After much pleading, Ye Yun finally gave in and gave her a sinecure, letting her wander around the factory every day, ostensibly to be in charge of the factory's safety.

Unexpectedly, Lü Fangfang put in a lot of effort.

It was all thanks to Lü Fangfang today. While everyone else was eating, she happened to wander into the warehouse and caught Ye Xue trying to set fire to the warehouse during the workers' lunch break.

The factory was already short of fabric, and the textile mill even couldn't get any more goods at one point. If the fabric stored in the warehouse was burned, how would the factory ship the goods to the contracts that had already been signed?

If the goods cannot be shipped, then money will be lost.

The penalty for breach of contract alone could bankrupt the factory!

"That's so vicious!" The soldier thought to himself, and angrily spat at Ye Xue again.

Ye Xue seemed not to hear the scolding. Although her back was bent, she stubbornly raised her chin and stared intently at Ye Yun with a look of deep hatred.

She didn't say anything.

Ye Yun stared at her without saying a word, her slightly pursed lips revealing her displeasure.

Those around her noticed that her gaze was strange and behaved themselves, not daring to make a sound. Even Lü Fangfang quieted down.

Ye Yun when she's silent is even more frightening than when she throws a tantrum and drives away Sister Ma.

The two locked eyes.

It was obvious that Ye Yun's gaze was more intimidating.

Although she didn't say a word, Ye Xue felt as if her gaze was like a thousand horses galloping towards her. Under Ye Yun's intense stare, she tilted her head back and let out a sarcastic laugh with an ambiguous meaning.

Ye Yun's eyes darkened. She lifted her chin and pressed her with each word clearly: "I don't believe I've offended you, so why do you keep going against me?"

Born into the Ye family, she had no choice, but she never tried to take anything from Ye Xue.

Other sisters support each other because of their blood ties, something she is not fortunate enough to enjoy, so she does not ask for it. Why does Ye Xue keep targeting her?

Having another descendant like her in the Ye family wouldn't pose much of a threat to Ye Xue, would it?

Ye Xue laughed even louder.

She laughed hysterically, tilting her head back, almost unable to breathe.

Yet he still didn't explain a single word.

"Just a little bit more... just a little bit more, and your factory would be gone!" Her eyes were crazed as she stared at Ye Yun, then tilted her head back and let out a deranged laugh.

Those around her felt their scalp tingle from her laughter.

Lü Fangfang couldn't help but hide behind Ye Yun. Looking at Ye Xue, who was laughing incessantly, she was confused and scared, and scratched the back of her head helplessly.

Why does this woman look even more sick than her?

"Ye Yun, is she alright..." Lü Fangfang frowned, and finally timidly hugged Ye Yun's arm, looking completely bewildered.

Ye Yun calmly withdrew her gaze and looked at the soldier next to her, who, like Lü Fangfang, felt a chill run down his spine.

"Take him to the police station."

"good!"

The soldier had long since grown tired of Ye Xue's laughter and quickly waved for the driver to get going.

The woman's laughter sent chills down his spine; in broad daylight, it felt like his grandmother was about to crawl out of her grave and take him away.

He wanted to personally take Ye Xue to the police station.

The driver quickly went to drive, and Ye Xue's mouth was gagged with a wad of cloth by one of her shrewd subordinates.

The soldier turned to Ye Yun and apologized:

"Factory manager, I'm so sorry, I was the one who hired her. I didn't know she had a grudge against you. She acted so kind and gentle when she came looking for a job..."

Gentle and kind?

This word has absolutely nothing to do with Ye Xue.

Ye Yun didn't take it to heart, and simply asked, "How long has she been here?"
