The Audi car roared into the distance, with such wild speed that Chen Ke screamed in terror.

In Yang Fei's hands, this car was like a steed that had met its legendary horse-tamer, bursting with an incredible speed.

Chen Ke watched the roadside trees, which had turned into a blur of light and shadow.

She felt as if she were riding a cloud, thrown into the air.

Wave after wave of strong g-forces pressed her back, leaving her terrified.

Yet, Yang Fei, the rascal, was still accelerating.

Chen Ke screamed aloud, but Yang Fei completely ignored her.

Having no other choice, Chen Ke shakily strapped herself in with the seatbelt, resigning herself to fate by closing her eyes.

Yang Fei grinned.

To get a woman like Chen Ke to shut up, he had to be this simple and brutal.

Half an hour later, Yang Fei and Chen Ke arrived at the gate of Yalan Garment Factory in Yannan New Industrial Park.

The gate of Yalan Garment Factory was blocked by five large trucks, lined up side by side.

A surging crowd filled the entrance.

The trucks bore huge banners with black backgrounds and white lettering.

"Treating lives like grass, give back the life of my loved one."

"Unscrupulous factory, the heavens and earth will not tolerate!"

...

All the security guards of Yalan Garment Factory were urgently dispatched.

They stood in front of the retractable metal fence, confronting the protesting crowd.

There were about a hundred protesters, densely packed at the gate.

In the hands of some of the men were swinging sticks and other implements.

There were also numerous women with anguished expressions, sitting on the ground, crying bitterly.

Not far away, a news van was parked.

A news crew was busily filming with long lenses and cameras.

A female reporter had already begun to record and broadcast live.

Chen Ke felt a chill throughout her body after a single glance at the intense situation.

Yang Fei casually found a parking spot and stopped the Audi at a distance.

If the car appeared in front of the crowd now, they would surely smash it.

Chen Ke jogged all the way into the surging crowd, with Yang Fei quickly following her.

He protected her as they pushed into the Yalan Garment Factory.

The security guards came up to meet her, surrounding Chen Ke.

Chen Ke instinctively looked back but found the guy had disappeared.

With the situation so critical, Chen Ke had no time to worry about Yang Fei.

Seeing Chen Ke's imposing appearance, the protesting crowd began to shout.

"Their senior management is here, let them explain why there was a chlorine leak!"

"How could such a dangerous toxic gas just leak, don't they take our workers' lives seriously?"

"Strike, protest!"

...

Chen Ke felt a surge of panic as she assessed the agitated crowd.

She inwardly blamed herself for acting too rashly.

If Su Yinxue were here, she would certainly be able to control the situation.

The manager of the security department handed Chen Ke a hard hat.

Chen Ke anxiously said, "Do we have a portable sound system? I need to get on stage and speak!"

The security department manager was named Wan Long.

He was startled and said, "Director Chen, you can't show yourself right now. The crowd is furious."

"Otherwise, they will direct their anger at you, it will be dangerous."

Chen Ke snorted and gave Wan Long a sidelong glare.

"Where's Factory Director Wei, has he run off to avoid the storm?"

Wan Long's face turned somewhat embarrassed.

"Factory Director Wei is in his office calling the police."

"The orders I received are just to maintain order at the gate and prevent the crowd from breaking into the factory."

Chen Ke snorted, "When we make mistakes, we must face the consequences. What's the use of hiding?"

"We have already sent the poisoned workers to the hospital for emergency treatment. The ins and outs of this incident need time to be investigated by us and the relevant departments."

"But before the final results are in, we need to get the situation and the people's hearts under control."

After she spoke, she waved her hand.

"Notify Factory Director Wei and the management staff to come to the front together to face the crowd and communicate with them."

At this critical juncture, Chen Ke displayed her indomitable spirit, earning Wan Long's newfound respect.

Director Chen and Chairwoman Su Yinxue—these two women were truly the pillars of Yalan International.

No wonder they had built such a large foundation at such a young age.

Such women are admirable.

Before long, Wan Long, along with Factory Director Wei and a group of company executives, rushed to the front gate.

Factory Director Wei walked over to Chen Ke with palpable trepidation.

"I'm sorry, Director Chen, I'm late."

At this moment, Chen Ke did not delve into Factory Director Wei's responsibilities.

She said coldly, "Our most important task at the moment is to stabilize people's hearts."

"Please have Factory Director Wei immediately organize the staff to disperse the agitated crowd, listen to their demands, and get started."

Factory Director Wei frowned with difficulty.

"But what if these irrational people start hitting others?"

Chen Ke sneered, "The surveillance at the gate is crystal clear, whoever hits someone will be held accountable."

"Besides, not all of these people are unreasonable. Execute the order now."

Pressed by Chen Ke to this point, Factory Director Wei had no choice but to take the lead himself, explaining the cause and sequence of the safety accident to the protesting crowd.

Chen Ke's eyes scanned the surroundings.

The reason she had the courage to do so was her belief that Yang Fei must be nearby protecting her.

With this guy's capabilities, her personal safety was guaranteed.

The reason the crowd was causing trouble

was that, after the safety accident occurred, the high-level management of the factory hid inside, afraid to come out.

Now, concerned about the safety of their loved ones, they became desperate and started to riot.

At this moment, Factory Director Wei took the lead, apologizing to the rioting crowd one by one, explaining the situation, while accepting their grievances.

Most of the crowd immediately quieted down.

However, some with ulterior motives refused to give up.

Chen Ke jumped onto a makeshift platform and explained the current safety accident to the protesting crowd.

She made clear the factory's stance on sparing no effort to save the lives of the poisoned workers and sincerely apologized.

Chen Ke's powerful aura, her confident and resounding tone, and her sincere and forthright attitude, instantly won the support of the majority of the crowd.

The public crisis was quickly defused, and people's hearts began to stabilize.

However, just at that moment, there was a loud thud as someone threw a beer bottle over.

The beer bottle nearly hit Chen Ke's head.

"Don't listen to this damned woman, they're just stalling for time, waiting for the police to come and arrest people."

"The officials and businessmen are in cahoots, everyone better watch out."

"Rush in and knock these bastards over, let them taste the pain of being injured and poisoned!"

...

These words were highly incendiary and provocative.

The situation, which had already been stabilizing, started to get chaotic again.

Not far away, more than a dozen Changfeng bodyguards quietly blended into the crowd.

Yang Fei had not gone far and was mingling within the crowd.

He squeezed his way over to Long Xia and complained in a low voice.

"Why did you only get here now? Someone is deliberately causing trouble."

Long Xia had rushed over just now after receiving a call from Yang Fei.

He replied with a smile, "Brother Fei, you tell us, what should we do?"

Yang Fei looked around carefully and said softly, "Mix in with the crowd and identify the fake protestors who are intentionally stirring up trouble, then pull them out."

"Be discreet in your actions—mustn't let anyone else catch on."

Long Xia rubbed his hands together eagerly, "Got it, don't worry."
