Chapter 436: Revenge
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Old Master Ji glanced at Ji Gao coldly. “Are you sure it’s the Ming family?”
Ji Gao nodded with a serious expression. “It’s true that the later actions are linked to the Ming family. However, the person who leaked the news previously hasn’t been found out yet. Do we need to continue investigating?”
Hearing this, Old Master Ji did not answer Ji Gao’s question immediately.
His eyes flashed, and after a moment, he said, “There’s no need. Even with the Ji Group’s ability, we haven’t been able to find out after two days of investigation. There won’t be much progress after that. On the other hand, if it weren’t for the Ming family as the final pusher, our Ji Group wouldn’t have fallen to such a state.”
The Ming Family, the Ming Family. Did the Ming Family really think that by pulling down the Ji Group, they would be able to successfully rise to the top?
Old Master Ji sneered with undisguised disdain for the Ming family.
If the position of the leader was so easy to hold, he would not have been so afraid to relax even until now, and he had previously been completely focused on nurturing an outstanding heir.
He wanted to see if the Ming family could really withstand the revenge of the Ji Group after doing such a thing!
It was said that a starving camel was still bigger than a horse. Their Ji Group had not really fallen!
The look in Old Master Ji’s eyes became even darker. Ji Gao couldn’t help but shiver as he watched from the side. He hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to look Old Master Ji in the eye again.
“After that, tell…” Old Master Ji’s tone was calm, but the words he said were not very good.
When Ji Gao heard what Old Master Ji said about how to deal with the Ming family, his eyes immediately lit up.
The person who hated the Ming family the most was naturally Ji Gao.
After the news of him evading taxes was exposed, not only did he have no way out, but Old Master Ji even controlled the funds in his hands. As long as he exceeded a certain amount every month, Old Master Ji would find out and freeze his account.
Ever since he had secured his position as the CEO of the Ji Group, when had he ever been so tight on money?
Now, not only did he lose his position and shares in the Ji Group, but he also did not have the freedom to spend money. How could he not hate them!
After hearing Old Master Ji’s words, a trace of pleasure flashed across Ji Gao’s eyes.
“Dad! Don’t worry, I’ll definitely do as you say this time! I definitely won’t let the Ming family have an easy time!”
Ji Gao said fiercely. After getting Old Master Ji’s approval, he turned around and left, planning to complete what Old Master Ji had instructed him to do.
Gu Xiao and Chu An couldn’t care less about the conflict between the Ji Group and the Ming Family. Since the Ming Family had wanted to add insult to injury, they naturally had to bear the revenge from the Ji Group.
However, the fact that they were completely invisible in this matter surprised Gu Xiao.
In a conversation, Gu Xiao directly voiced her questions to Chu An.
Chu An raised his brows. “I used some of my brother’s connections.”
Actually, he didn’t ask Chu Zi for help. It was just that when these things happened, they were in the Chu residence. In addition, Chu Zi knew him too well, so before he took action, Chu Zi took the initiative to look for him and ask if he needed help.
Since Chu Zi had taken the initiative to come, it would be a waste not to use him. Hence, he asked Chu Zi for some connections.
Chu Zi’s connections were indeed not bad. Under the full blown investigation of the Ji Group, they were actually not found out. This was really impressive.
A hint of understanding flashed across Gu Xiao’s eyes. “I see. No matter what, you didn’t let me interfere at all previously because of Brother Zi.”
Chu An smiled and wrapped his arms around Gu Xiao’s shoulders, pulling her into his embrace.
“I just want you to relax. Don’t worry too much.”
Gu Xiao glanced at Chu An, retracted her gaze, and leaned against Chu An’s chest.
“I am indeed relaxed.”
After that, Chu Zi also brought back some news of how the Ji Group and the Ming Family were going against each other from time to time. He told Gu Xiao and Chu An these anecdotes as if he was telling a joke.
In such a relaxed atmosphere, Gu Xiao and the Chu family welcomed New Year’s Eve.
On New Year’s Eve, Gu Xiao woke up early. When she opened her eyes and was about to get up, she realized that she was trapped in Chu An’s arms. Chu An’s arms were tightly wrapped around her waist, making her unable to move at all..
