The name of the factory given by the curly-haired woman was just some place she had passed by before, and the address was random. As for what kind of goods were being produced there and whatnot, she had no clue.
She could cook up some nonsense, though. “Our factory is huge. There are more than 800 workers in total. We mainly produce bedsheets and blankets. You guys know that silk sheets are very popular. We need female workers because our business is good. The reason we hire young ladies with tender hands is because we fear the workers might scratch the silk blankets if their hands are rough.”
She thought she’d managed to bluff her way through, but she hadn’t expected to hear Mu Jingzhe ask immediately, “There are quite a few factories in that area, right? Besides, silk blankets can’t be made with human hands, so there has got to be machines, right? What’s the model of the machines you use? With more than 800 workers and all those machines, you must have a very big factory that occupies a sizable area. It must have its own brand. What brand is it? Has the brand been advertised on television or on the radio?
“Tell me about it. I wanna see if I’ve heard of it before. And you still haven’t answered me—are you working for HR?”
These few questions completely stumped the curly-haired woman. Who the heck knew what kind of machines were used? She did not know any brands, let alone if they had appeared on television commercials.
She didn’t understand. Why would Mu Jingzhe know all this? She had a reply for everything and even knew things she didn’t know.
And why did it sound like she had been there before?
Mu Jingzhe had indeed been there, but it had been in her previous lifetime.
This world existed in a novel parallel to the world where she had come from. There were many fictional places, but some places truly existed in reality, such as some cities.
When Mu Jingzhe had been to that city in her previous life, it had already developed very well. It wasn’t all that hard for her to sound knowledgeable about it.
Seeing that the curly-haired woman was stumped, Mu Jingzhe urged her impatiently. “Speak. Why aren’t you saying anything?”
“What’s the point of all these questions? It’s not like you can go there and verify the answers.” The curly-haired woman tried her best to stay calm.
“Why can’t I go and verify them? I’m really going to do that. Don’t you know that I am a businesswoman? People from all over the country work with me. I’m also doing business with someone in the place you mentioned. I’ll check with him after you answer my questions.”
This was fake, but it wasn’t impossible for Mu Jingzhe to really find out if she wanted to. She had nothing to feel guilty about. She wasn’t the one who should be feeling guilty.
Mu Jingzhe looked on calmly, while the curly-haired woman was completely flustered.
She couldn’t answer any of those questions, and the more she said, the more likely it was that she might expose herself.
In the end, she could only lash back barbarically. “Why are you asking so many questions when you’re not even going there? Who knows what you’re going to do by asking those questions? Why do I have to tell you everything? I’m just kind enough to give everyone a chance to earn money together. Just forget it if you’re not going!”
After saying that, she tossed her head. She was just about to leave when she was stopped by a shout.
“Wait, who said you can leave?”
The curly-haired woman turned around and saw Shao Nan walking around Mu Jingzhe.
“If you don’t clear things up today, don’t even think about walking out this door.”
The curly-haired woman’s face turned green with anger when she saw the child’s arrogant attitude. “I can come and go as I please. It’s none of your business.”
She spat and turned to leave.
“Everyone, help me stop her,” Mu Jingzhe said.
The curly-haired woman scoffed, wondering who would listen to her. However, she was stopped after only taking two steps.
The villagers weren’t fools. They could tell that this woman was guilty. There was something wrong with her.
“You’re not allowed to leave. Stay here and clarify things.”
“What’s there to clarify? Isn’t it clear enough for everyone to see? She’s obviously feeling guilty. I think everyone’s guess is right. She’s taking those young ladies to do something indecent.”

What could young and beautiful girls be duped into doing? Wasn’t it obvious?
Everyone criticized her angrily. “I knew she wasn’t a decent person. Looking at her now, she really doesn’t look like a decent person!”
“She must be up to no good!”
The curly-haired woman was truly flustered now. “What kind of nonsense are you talking about…”
Before she could finish speaking, she was ruthlessly pushed. “Not only did you degenerate yourself, but you even wanted to harm others. Why are you so cheap?”
Those who had thought of going felt lingering fear.
As for those whose daughters or wives had been tricked into going, they had come over in a threatening manner. Now, their faces were pale, and they were mumbling that this was impossible.
The curly-haired woman quickly said, “Hurry up and help me.”
Just as she was about to urge everyone, she heard Shao Nan say, “Everyone, calm down. Don’t kill anyone. Let’s calm down and get a clear grasp of the situation first.”
He paused and looked at the curly-haired woman. “If you don’t want to make things clear here, you’ll have to go make things clear at the police station.”
When the words ‘police station’ were said, everyone was shocked. The curly-haired woman panicked. “What police station? What kind of nonsense are you spouting?”
“I’m not spouting nonsense. If you really duped people into doing something bad, then you have broken the law and you’ll have to go to jail for that.”
“You’re the one going to jail. You’re the one breaking the law. What does a little brat like you know?” The curly-haired woman’s legs trembled when she heard that.
“I know more than you do.” Shao Nan recited the relevant legal provisions the moment he opened his mouth, even reciting the section number of the legal code.
Then, he took out a law book. “It’s all written here. You can think about how many crimes you’ve committed.”
The curly-haired woman and everyone else were shocked. How had Shao Nan managed to memorize all this?
Mu Jingzhe was also shocked. The law book in Shao Nan’s hand was the one she had borrowed from the county library.
She had thought that the children were curious and wanted to see it and felt that it would be good for them to know the law, so she had borrowed it. She’d even wanted to find time to talk to them about its contents.
It wasn’t like she wanted them to finish reading the entire thing. She just wanted to let them know what was illegal.
She wanted to talk to them more and establish the right values and outlook on life. This was also meant to prevent them from going astray in the future and breaking the law without even knowing it.
In the end, before she had even flipped through the book herself and talked to them about it, Shao Nan had already read it and could now even recite it?
Shao Nan didn’t have much of a reaction to everyone’s gazes. However, when he saw Mu Jingzhe’s surprised gaze, the corners of his lips curled up.
He had helped his mother today.
The reason why Shao Nan was suddenly interested in the law was because of what had happened to Mu Jingzhe last time. He had been very dissatisfied when he’d seen that Zhao Lan had actually been released.
Because of this, he had understood the importance of the law, so he had told Mu Jingzhe that he wanted to comprehend it. He’d immediately read the book right after Mu Jingzhe had borrowed it.
It was honestly really dry, but Shao Nan had still patiently read and memorized it. If there was a term he didn’t recognize, he would look it up. If there was something he didn’t understand, he would ask. He wanted to know the law in case he had a use for it in the future.
Mu Jingzhe knew that the children were all incredible bigshots, but she hadn’t expected them to be this incredible.
She fell into a daze as she gazed at Shao Nan. She didn’t even need to do anything, as Shao Nan had already quickly taken care of the situation.
The villagers didn’t know about the various sections of the penal code, but they knew that what the curly-haired woman had done was illegal.
They quickly tied the curly-haired woman up and prepared to take her to the police station.
