Chapter 262: Confession
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Chu An told Gu Xiao the news that he had found out recently. After hearing it, Gu Xiao wasn’t surprised.
Although Ji Gao was not as capable as Ji Chen, in terms of these methods, Ji Gao was better than Ji Chen.
But thinking of Ji Chen’s character, Gu Xiao felt that the reason why Ji Chen did not use such a method was because he did not like to use such a vicious method.
As Chu An had expected, Meng Fei could only plead guilty when she was confronted with the evidence.
However, she had always remembered the threat that Ji Gao and Ji Yao had made to her and the Meng family. Hence, no matter how the police asked, she insisted that this was all because she and Xu Zhi wanted to please Ji Yao. Ji Yao and the rest of the Ji Group did not know at all.
After the police arrested Xu Zhi, his testimony was similar to Ji Yao’s.
Even if the police felt that there should be something hidden, otherwise, how could a small manager like Xu Zhi use the Ji Group’s name to do things?
However, when Meng Fei and Xu Zhi refused to give in and they did not have any other evidence, they could only choose to arrest Meng Fei and Xu Zhi.
As for Ji Gao and Ji Yao, they seemed to be invisible in this matter.
The police had no choice but to go along with Meng Fei and Xu Zhi’s confessions and convict them.
Soon, Meng Fei was arrested and imprisoned for indirectly causing death and framing others. Xu Zhi was also imprisoned for instigating others to commit crimes.
The moment the news came out, the Ji Group reposted the police’s announcement and sincerely expressed their condolences to the victims. Moreover, they promised that they would find Chen Li’s parents and compensate them.
Although the Ji Group reposted the police’s announcement immediately and expressed their apology, the netizens’ opinions were mixed.
[How can you believe such nonsense from the Ji Group? He’s just a small manager. Even if he has some ability, can he really make such a large production team listen to him? Do they treat us netizens as fools?! 1 definitely don’t believe that there’s no tacit approval from the higher-ups of the Ji Group behind this!]
[Why is it still related to Ji Yao?! I’ve always felt that Ji Yao was already vicious and shameless enough. I didn’t expect her to do even more vicious and shameless things!]
[Ahhh! I hate this Meng Fei! She was the one who misled us back then! Otherwise, we wouldn’t have misunderstood Chen Li!]
[I apologize for framing Chen Li back then, but that was all because of someone’s misdirection. Without anyone’s misdirection, I wouldn’t have insulted Chen Li. It’s all Meng Fei’s fault!]
[From the looks of it, the higher-ups of the Ji Group can’t be blamed for this! After all, it was only that manager who wanted to please Ji Yao at that time, but he had been too forceful, causing that old lady to really die. I don’t think the Ji Group wanted to see such a thing happen.]
[That’s right! It’s obvious that this matter can’t be completely blamed on the Ji Group, but the Ji Group are still bearing this responsibility. I feel that the Ji Group is quite responsible.]
[What kind of person is the commenter above who is helping to whitewash the name of Ji Group? She can actually put in a good word for the Ji Group. It’s really an eye-opener for me.]
[Those who help Ji Group, get lost! You still don’t know, right? Ji Chen, the successor of Ji Group, left Ji Group when Ji Gao did that kind of thing. Even the successor of Ji Group doesn’t want to stay there. You can imagine how unreliable the internal department of Ji Group is!]
Some netizens believed the police’s results, but there were also some who were skeptical. However, no matter what, on the surface, the storm of the Ji Group was over.
However, this matter was connected to what happened to Ji Gao previously. In the end, it still had a considerable impact on the Ji Group.
The entire Ji Group’s assets had shrunk by one-fifth because of these two consecutive matters, causing the Ji Group to suffer heavy losses.
When Gu Xiao heard this news from Chu An, she wasn’t too surprised.
Or rather, she had already guessed that this would be the outcome.
However, she was still a little satisfied with the results this time. Even if it did not completely crush the Ji Group, it was enough to allow Ji Gao to leave the company and cause the Ji Group to lose a lot.
Sooner or later, she would completely collapse the Ji Group!
