Chapter 437: Investigation
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The shareholders of the Ji Group were furious. “Ji Gao did something wrong himself, but now he wants all of us to bear the responsibility together. How can there be such a logic in this world! We can’t accept this outcome!”
Old Master Ji had never been easy to bully, nor was he an easy person to control.
It had always been Old Master Ji who controlled others. When had it been anyone’s turn to threaten him?
Old Master Ji raised his drooping eyelids and glanced coldly at the shareholders who had come to question him.
Most of the shareholders of the Ji Group had experienced the pressure from Old Master Ji. Now, facing Old Master Ji’s cold gaze, they seemed to have returned to the scene when Old Master Ji controlled the Ji Group.
The shareholders averted their gazes, not daring to look Old Master Ji in the eye.
“If you don’t accept it, what else do you want?” Old Master Ji sneered. His old and hoa.r.s.e voice sounded a little sinister at this moment. “Ji Gao has already resigned from the Ji Group and doesn’t have any shares in his hands. What else do you want? To send him to prison, or for me to kill him?”
The shareholders were rendered speechless by Old Master Ji’s words. For a moment, they did not know how to refute Old Master Ji’s words.
However, the reality was indeed as Old Master Ji had said. Now that Ji Gao had already left the Ji Group and had no shares, he was considered someone who had nothing to do with the Ji Group. Even if they wanted to deal with Ji Gao, what other methods could they use?
Could they really attack a “stranger”?
However, they were unwilling to swallow this anger!
Old Master Ji glanced at everyone present, and a trace of coldness flashed across his eyes. He said to the butler at the side, “See the guests out!”
The shareholders glared unhappily at Old Master Ji and Ji Gao, who was hiding behind him, but they could not do anything to Ji Gao.
Their anger could not be appeased, and they did not want to pretend to be obedient in front of Old Master Ji. With a flurry of their sleeves, they left.
When the others had left and only Ji Gao was left in the huge living room, Old Master Ji sighed deeply. After this sigh, Old Master Ji seemed to have aged a few years in an instant.
He looked at the angry backs of the shareholders, and a sense of sorrow rose in his heart. He felt bitter.
The son he had raised was stupid. That was why the Ji Group, which he had worked hard for his entire life, had ended up in this state.
Initially, he had thought that he had an outstanding grandson who could maintain his business empire, but now… he could only watch as his useless son leave the Ji Group. His outstanding grandson had also become a rival of the Ji Group.
Even if there was a professional manager supporting the Ji Group now, what would happen after that? What would happen to the Ji Group after that?
As Old Master Ji thought about this, he took another deep breath. He glanced at Ji Gao, who was hiding behind him with his head lowered, and his eyes were cold.
“Go and investigate! Find out who released the news previously! Who wants to harm our Ji Group behind the scenes!”
When Ji Gao heard this, he hurriedly raised his head. “I’ll go and investigate now!”
With that, Ji Gao walked out from behind Old Master Ji and left the Ji family’s old residence.
Two days later, Ji Gao had already found the information he wanted.
“I don’t know who sent the first message. After that account uploaded the first post, it was directly deleted. We can’t find any information about it now. The people who hyped up the news at the beginning also hid it very well. The water army on the internet also don’t know who it was that had contacted them.”
At this point, Ji Gao paused, and a trace of anger flashed across his eyes.
“As for the people who directly threw out the evidence online later, they were from the Ming family!”
When Old Master Ji heard this, his eyes turned cold.
The Ming Family, it was actually the Ming Family!
The Ming family’s business overlapped with the Ji Group’s business. However, because the Ji Group had started earlier than the Ming family’s business, and because their research and development results were better than the Ming family’s, the Ji Group had always suppressed the Ming family’s business. The Ming family’s business could only exist in the shadow of the Ji Group.
It was not that the Ming family had never thought of surpa.s.sing the Ji Group, but the Ji Group’s ability and technology were indeed not bad. It was not something that the Ming family could surpa.s.s just because they wanted to.
Therefore, this time, after realizing that Ji Gao had actually made such a huge mistake, the Ming family could not wait to kick them when they were down. They wanted to use this to pull the Ji Group down from its position as the leader of the industry.
Now, it could be said that the Ming family’s plan was already half successful..
