Even if Hao Yimeng really thought that she was indeed better than everyone else, she was unable to say it out loud as the crowd gathered around her had gotten bigger.
Hao Yimeng grew even angrier, especially when she saw that some of the gathered people had taken out their phones to record them. And yet, on the surface, she still had to maintain her composure.
It was not long before more Sanitation Service Center workers, along with people sent by the police, arrived to help look for the ring.
Therefore, on a freezing day, Hao Yimeng and Fang Qianmei were surrounded by onlookers as they were interrogated by the police, standing next to piles of rubbish and breathing in waves of noxious fumes.
Needless to say, the ring was ultimately not found. When the police finally allowed Hao Yimeng and Fang Qianmei to leave, the two of them were close to having suffocated on the stench of the rubbish.
"Yimeng, what do we do? This incident has been blown out of proportion. It's already been deemed a criminal case," Fang Qianmei said nervously when they were back in the car. "Who on earth reported the case? Even the police came."
"Later, I'll ask someone to notify them in advance and leave the case unresolved," Hao Yimeng replie and her face grim.
Compared to the case, she was more worried about her self-image. She was a celebrity who was often photographed in high-class venues and yet she had now been seen next to rubbish piles.
Furthermore, there had been plenty of people at the scene recording her and she was afraid it would turn into a trending topic soon. Hao Yimeng could only hurriedly call her agent to suppress all related news.
Ling Yiran's body had already been engulfed in the stench of the rubbish. Although she had washed her hands multiple times, a faint odor still lingered on them. As for her body, even if she had changed from her uniform into her daily jacket, the smell was still persistent.
"These rich people are too much. They just lose a ring and they torture us. If it's such an expensive ring, why didn't they look after it more closely themselves?" Sister Xu grumbled.
Ling Yiran gave her a few words of comfort, then took her bag and left the Sanitation Service Center.
After Hao Yimeng's farce, she went back home later than usual. The street lamps had already been lit. The cold wind blew at her face with a chill and pricked her.
