Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

After Gu Xiao and Chu An returned to the villa with the USB drive, they called Ji Chen directly. After a few simple words on the phone, Gu Xiao hung up.

She looked up at Chu An beside her. “My brother said that he doesn’t have time today and can only come over tomorrow.”

“As long as Brother Chen has time to come over.”

This was a serious matter. It was difficult to explain it clearly over the phone, so it was better to discuss it in person.

After informing Ji Chen and putting the USB drive away, Gu Xiao and Chu An did not pay much attention to the USB drive.

The next afternoon, Ji Chen drove to Gu Xiao’s villa. Just as he knocked on the door, Chu An opened the door and stepped aside to let Ji Chen enter the villa.

Ji Chen sat on the sofa opposite Gu Xiao. “What exactly happened?” He sounded anxious.

This time, Gu Xiao did not answer Ji Chen immediately. Instead, she gave Chu An a look. After the other party had prepared the computer and small stereo, he clicked to play the video that they had already seen.

In the beginning, Ji Chen did not understand why Gu Xiao was doing this.

But after hearing the content of their conversation, his expression became serious, especially when he heard the mention of Ji Group in the video, Ji Chen’s face turned dark.

After watching or rather listening to the video, Ji Chen slightly raised his eyes to look at Gu Xiao opposite him. His eyes still had the sharpness left from listening to the video just now, like blades.

“When did this happen?” Ji Chen asked coldly.

“Brother, do you still remember the variety show 1 took part in when I came back? This is what happened at that time.”

As Gu Xiao spoke, she paused for a moment before telling him what had happened back then bit by bit.

Now, the videos of that variety show could still be found online. After Gu Xiao finished speaking, Chu An handed the video of what happened to Chen Li to Ji Chen. There were also insults about Chen Li online.

Looking at the contents, Ji Chen frowned subconsciously.

He had never thought that there would be such heart-wrenching words in this world.

Even he could not help but frown at such words, let alone a young girl.

After watching the video and comments, Ji Chen looked at Gu Xiao and Chu An again. He returned the tablet to Chu An. “What do you plan to do?”

“We want to post the video. Although the truth is too late, it should not be buried.” Gu Xiao looked into Ji Chen’s eyes and said word by word.

Hearing this, Ji Chen nodded, not caring about the Ji Group at all.

When this happened back then, his company was developing rapidly, so he focused all his attention on his company and did not pay any attention to this variety show that was sponsored by the Ji Group.

It was only after Gu Xiao returned to the Ji family that he heard about this variety show.

However, he had never expected such a thing to happen behind the scenes.

Ji Chen’s hands on his lap gradually clenched, and a trace of anger arose in his heart.

“That should indeed be done.” Ji Chen tried his best to calm his voice and not be filled with anger. “When do you plan to send it out?”

When Gu Xiao heard this, she recounted her and Chu An’s previous plans. “Brother, what are you thinking about the Ji Group?”

Although she already knew about Ji Chen’s attitude, she could not guarantee that Ji Chen would still be completely indifferent when facing a behemoth like the Ji Group.

After two lifetimes, it was difficult for her to have enough trust in human nature.

Ji Chen threw a strange look at Gu Xiao, as if he did not understand why Gu Xiao would say such a thing.

Soon, he realized the reason behind Gu Xiao’s words, and there was a helpless smile in his eyes.

“I don’t have a good impression of the Ji Group, especially after learning that there’s such filth in the Ji Group. Moreover, even without this matter, 1 would have left the Ji Group sooner or later.”

The shares of the Ji Group were not really in his hands. In the end, he was only working for the Ji Group.

If he could have refused back then, why would he leave his company alone and work for the Ji Group?
