Zheng Duo was so angry he had to laugh. "So Shen Zhengfeng never planned on giving the clothing factory back to Xiao Yi at all!"

First, he came up with the idea that Xiao Yi had to get married before the factory could be handed over to him, and then he spread rumors that Xiao Yi was mentally ill.

To be able to do such things, it just showed how utterly unscrupulous Shen Zhengfeng was. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Qin Jiao had returned to Shen Yi’s side. They exchanged a look. They knew that in less than two years, something big was going to happen at the paint factory. Although they hadn’t paid attention to the specifics in their past life and didn’t know the details, it would definitely be enough to deal a heavy blow to Shen Zhengfeng!

It just goes to show, people shouldn’t do bad things. After all, what goes around comes around. It’s not that retribution doesn’t come; it’s just that its time has not yet arrived.

Without another word, Sun Jianhua went back to the car, grabbed a large iron wrench, walked to the main gate, and started smashing the heavy lock.

He certainly had a decisive personality. Both Zheng Duo and Zheng Zhuli gave him a few extra glances.

Qin Jiao, however, knew that this uncle of hers would one day become a fruit tycoon. He’d been swindled three times but would still start new businesses until he finally succeeded... She had originally wanted to give her uncle an important role, since the clothing factory was short on people. Besides, most of the old Du family employees had grown close to Shen Zhengfeng. Who knew which of them were now in it together with Shen Zhengfeng.

This was the perfect time to use someone as capable and trustworthy as Sun Jianhua.

But Qin Jiao remembered that her future-fruit-tycoon uncle still had to be swindled one more time, so for now, she would just let him help out in the kitchen.

Sun Jianhua decisively smashed the gate open. A man in dark blue work clothes, who had been peeking out cautiously, saw the large group of people flood in. Thinking the debt collectors had broken in, he turned and ran back inside.

Du Liya was speechless. "Does he think we’re some kind of terrifying monsters?"

’My Xiao Yi is the factory director, for crying out loud!’

Beidou said, "It’s fine. We’ll find out once we’re inside. Let’s see what kind of trouble they’re stirring up!"

Their group, along with Li Weiguo, headed toward the factory’s office together.

Walking beside Shen Yi, Qin Jiao looked around and said in a low voice, "This factory is too quiet. The footprints on the ground look pretty recent. It must have shut down production."

"When my mom and I first came back to North City, we visited once. It was still operating normally then."

"That’s because back then, you hadn’t found someone to marry yet."

Shen Yi fell silent.

’In other words, if I hadn’t married Jiao Jiao, or if he was certain I wouldn’t be getting married anytime soon, then Shen Zhengfeng would have already paid off all the debts by now. But that raises a question. The clothing factory has always been profitable and never lost money, so why is it so deeply in debt?’

Suddenly, a dozen or so people flooded into the office, startling the three men inside so badly they trembled. Upon seeing Du Liya, one of them looked as if he’d seen his savior and quickly said, "Mrs. Shen, you’re finally here!"

Beidou didn’t like the sound of that. It was one thing for outsiders not to know Du Liya had remarried, but how could an old-timer from this factory not know that she and Shen Zhengfeng had divorced last year?

Du Liya frowned. "Old Xu, Shen Zhengfeng and I are divorced. And from now on, this factory belongs to my Xiao Yi. Don’t you think you should be using a different form of address?"

Xu Da put on a placating smile, looking every bit the crafty old fox.

Shen Yi said flatly, "Let’s dispense with the pleasantries, Uncle Xu. Bring out all the paperwork."

Xu Da had no choice but to have a skinny man go get the files. Meanwhile, the man Zheng Duo had brought, Chen Sheng, began meticulously examining the account books, while Zheng Duo and Shen Yi looked over the other documents.

Qin Jiao glanced around. The office could hold more than a dozen people, but right now, she only saw the three of them. There was no sign of anyone else, and the entire factory was silent.

Qin Jiao asked Xu Da, "Where did everyone else go?"
