When Gu Xiao and Chu An heard Ji Chen’s words, the two of them, who were originally leaning against the sofa, immediately straightened their backs and their expressions became serious.

“Can we still investigate this matter? Can we find evidence?” Gu Xiao’s tone was calm with a hint of urgency.

Ji Chen was silent for a few seconds and then said regretfully, “I don’t have any evidence, but I might still be able to find some clues now.”

The matter of Ji Gao’s tax evasion happened before Jiang He and Ji Gao divorced, or rather, before Gu Xiao appeared in their lives.

When Jiang He discovered that there was an additional sum of money in Ji Gao’s account, she had asked Ji Gao where the money came from. Ji Gao said that it was the company’s dividend, but at that time, the time for dividend distribution of the Ji Group had yet to arrive.

Jiang He became suspicious, so she thought of investigating and found out that Ji Gao was evading taxes.

However, at that time, Jiang He had not discovered that Ji Gao had an affair. She even felt that the two of them had a good relationship. After discovering this matter, she naturally did not say anything. She even got someone to erase all traces. After wrapping up Ji Gao’s affairs, she pretended that nothing had happened.

Ji Chen thought of the hatred in Jiang He’s eyes when she told him about this.

“Ji Gao used this money to buy a luxurious villa worth tens of millions for Du Li and her son. The rest was also used on these two people. We can investigate from this aspect.”

Previously, Jiang He suddenly had the thought of investigating the use of the 500 million yuan back then. It was because she knew that Ji Gao had a lover and an illegitimate child outside that she became suspicious.

After investigating what Ji Gao had done back then, she realized that Ji Gao had spent all his money on Du Li and her son.

Back then, when Jiang He discovered that Ji Gao was evading taxes, she thought that it was because of Ji Gao’s own matters. In the end, after an investigation, she discovered that Ji Gao’s 500 million yuan back then could be said to have been used completely on Du Li and her son.

Other than that luxurious villa, he also bought all kinds of expensive jewelry for Du Li. He even spent a lot of money to build a few roads for Du Li’s hometown, a poor village, and a small villa for their family.

The village where Du Li’s hometown was located could be said to have soared because of Du Li alone.

After doing these things, the remaining money from the sum of 500 million seemed to have been completely handed over to Du Li, allowing her to use it for her usual expenses.

When Jiang He found out about these things, she was once so angry that she wanted to directly lay her cards on the table with Ji Gao and find trouble with him.

It was just that she and Ji Gao did not get a divorce at that time, and because Ji Chen was still in the Ji Group, she did not want Ji Chen to be implicated, so she buried this matter in the bottom of her heart.

However, this matter was still a thorn in Jiang He’s heart.

After all, if Ji Gao used his own money, it was hard to guarantee that he would not be discovered by Old Master Ji, who could then follow the clues to find Du Li and her son. In order to let Du Li live a happy and luxurious life, Ji Gao even dared to covet the company’s money and dare to avoid taxes. It really disappointed Jiang He.

What was laughable was that after discovering this matter back then, Jiang He actually wholeheartedly believed in Ji Gao and even dealt with the aftermath for him.

Now that she knew how this money had been spent, how could this not make Jiang He hate Ji Gao?

Ji Chen thought of the hint of madness that flashed across her eyes when Jiang He told him about this. He lowered his eyes slightly.

Since Jiang He had completely cut ties with Ji Gao, even if anything happened to Ji Gao, it would not have anything to do with Jiang He. Now that Jiang He had a company to manage and he was around, no matter what, she would live more freely than before.

“You can also go to the Ji Group and the tax department to check the accounts. There should be some clues.” Ji Chen continued to remind Gu Xiao.

After all, the taxes paid were different from the accounts. It was very difficult to find other evidence.

However, if they were to start from checking the accounts, it should not be too difficult.

Gu Xiao naturally knew what Ji Chen meant. She and Chu An looked at each other, then said to Ji Chen on the other end of the phone, “Brother, don’t worry. I know what to do. Investigating this 500 million won’t implicate me.”

Hearing Gu Xiao’s words, Ji Chen heaved a sigh of relief.

“Yes, that’s good.”

Ji Chen was worried that when Gu Xiao found out about this, to investigate this matter, she would implicate herself.

Even if this matter might not affect Gu Xiao too much, he still did not want Gu Xiao to be hurt at all..
