Chapter 501: New Clue
Editor: Henyee Translations
Ever since the news of the collaboration between Star Brilliance Video and Da Xiong Video spread, people in the industry had become more optimistic about Star Brilliance Video and Star Brilliance Entertainment.
While Star Brilliance Video and Star Brilliance Entertainment were thriving, the Ji Group and Ji Gao were not doing too well.
On this day, Ji Gao came to the Ji family’s old residence with the new information he had found.
Old Master Ji was not downstairs, so Ji Gao found the butler and asked him where he was.
“Old Master should be resting upstairs. If it’s not something important, it’s not appropriate to disturb Old Master’s rest.”
Upon hearing the butler’s words, Ji Gao thought about what he had investigated. Seeing the butler’s unyielding attitude, he did not pester him anymore.
“Then I’ll wait until Dad wakes up.”
After hearing Ji Gao’s words, the butler arranged for Ji Gao to stay in the living room. He served some fruits and tea and left a servant behind before continuing to do his own things.
Ji Gao waited on the first floor for an unknown period of time. As time passed, Ji Gao became more and more frustrated. From time to time, he would stand up and look in the direction of the elevator.
However, no matter how he looked, he did not see the figure he wanted to see.
Just as Ji Gao couldn’t take it anymore and was about to ask the butler to wake Old Master Ji up, he saw the elevator that he had been waiting for a long time light up.
Ji Gao stood up and stared at the elevator.
After a while, the butler appeared in the elevator with Old Master Ji.
Old Master Ji held his walking stick and slowly walked towards Ji Gao.
Ji Gao took a few steps forward and said impatiently, “Dad! I’ve found some new information that I want to tell you!”
Old Master Ji ignored Ji Gao. It was as if he did not hear Ji Gao’s words at all. When Old Master Ji sat on the sofa, he looked up at Ji Gao with his turbulent gaze.
“Tell me! What is it?”
Ji Gao’s grip on the document tightened slightly. He was a little dissatisfied with Old Master Ji’s neglectful attitude towards him.
However, Old Master Ji had completely protected him last time, so that he did not receive any punishment. Now, in front of Old Master Ji, he could not hold his head high.
Ji Gao forced himself to relax and handed over the document in his hand with a calmer attitude.
“Dad, this is something I’ve recently investigated. Previously, the matter of the tax evasion being exposed had something to do with that little b*tch Gu Xiao!”
Hearing Ji Gao’s words, Old Master Ji straightened his body slightly and his expression became serious.
He took the document from Ji Gao’s hands, opened it, and read it carefully. However, the more he read, the uglier Old Master Ji’s expression became. In the end, Old Master Ji’s face could only be described as livid.
The veins on the back of Old Master Ji’s old hand were already bulging in the first place. At this moment, it was even more tense. The greenish-black blood vessels were wrapped around his loose skin, making him look a little terrifying. After a while, Old Master Ji barely suppressed the anger in his heart.
He glanced at Ji Gao and threw the document in his hand at him. Even though the document hit his chest hard, Ji Gao did not dare to say anything. He could only lower his head and hide his emotions.
“Look at what a good daughter you’ve had! Ruthless! She doesn’t care about relations and even dares to target you, her father! She wants to send you to jail!”
After saying that, Old Master Ji seemed to still be a little angry. He picked up his walking stick and hit Ji Gao’s body a few times before restraining his anger.
Ji Gao stood at the side dejectedly. He did not dare to say anything about Old Master Ji’s beating and scolding.
Old Master Ji composed himself and thought of the news he had just read. He could not help but narrow his eyes.
In fact, if Gu Xiao had not targeted Ji Group and Ji Gao, Old Master Ji would have thought highly of Gu Xiao. Compared to his grandson, Ji Chen, who was too upright in certain aspects, Gu Xiao was more suitable to be his ideal successor.
She was smart, patient, and knew how to leverage strength to handle a stronger opponent… Gu Xiao’s actions showed her ability in this aspect.
However, it was a pity that Gu Xiao was a woman. Now, Gu Xiao could be said to be completely hostile with the Ji family and the Ji Group.
Therefore, no matter how much he valued Gu Xiao, he could not allow her to grow stronger just like that..
