Chapter 429: Set Up the Stage

Chu An put down the book on Weapon Systems and Engineering, turned his head, and glanced at the name Gu Xiao mentioned. Then, under Gu Xiao’s puzzled gaze, he nodded affirmatively.

“The news online is confirmed to be true,” Chu An said in an indescribable tone.

When he saw the news about this person on the Internet previously, he thought that it was fake and had been fabricated by the netizens. After all, Mr Chu had also praised Miao Hai in front of him previously. His impression of Miao Hai was not bad.

But now… the situation was very different.

When Miao Hai’s wife saw the news about her husband online, she naturally did not want to believe it. However, the netizens were all swearing that Miao Hai had an affair and had a mistress. In order to calm the comments online, she also investigated.

Originally, Miao Hai’s wife had planned to absolve Miao Hai of the slander, but after a real investigation, she realized that the comments online were all true.

And she was the one who was kept in the dark.

Miao Hai indeed had a mistress and an illegitimate child outside.

As soon as this news came out, Miao Hai’s wife immediately started arguing with Miao Hai.

Due to the matter with Miao Hai’s family, the circle was also watching the excitement. Even attention regarding the news online about the matter of tax evasion had been somewhat reduced.

When Gu Xiao heard Chu An explain the ins and outs of this matter, she clicked her tongue slightly.

“You really can’t judge a book by its cover,” Gu Xiao muttered to herself.

She suddenly felt that Miao Hai and Ji Gao were somewhat similar. They both had mistresses and illegitimate children outside, but the people in the circle still thought that they had a good matrimonial relationship.

It had to be said that the two of them were indeed quite capable. Otherwise, it would be impossible for them to hide for more than ten years without being discovered.

However, they had used this ability in the wrong place.

Chu An chuckled and reached out to wrap his arm around Gu Xiao’s shoulders. He blew lightly by her ear.

“Xiaoxiao, don’t worry. Such a thing will definitely not happen to us.”

Gu Xiao glanced at Chu An, then retracted her gaze and continued to look at the tablet in her hand.

Just as Chu An thought that Gu Xiao wouldn’t say anything more about this matter, he heard Gu Xiao’s threatening voice.

“I don’t think you would dare.”

When Chu An heard this, he lowered his eyes slightly, and the first thing he saw was Gu Xiao’s head.

The corners of his mouth curled up silently, and the smile in his eyes was undisguised.

“Xiaoxiao is right. 1 naturally wouldn’t dare.”

Gu Xiao snorted and flipped through the news online. After roughly understanding the current situation on the Internet, she put the tablet aside.

“Now that the stage has been set up, it depends on Ji Gao’s reaction.” Gu Xiao’s expression was calm. “I just don’t know if Ji Gao has seen the news online.”

At the thought of Ji Gao’s terrified expression when he saw the news online, Gu Xiao could not help but smile.

It was a pity that she could not see this scene now.

At this moment, Ji Gao had already returned to the Ji family’s villa.

After dismissing all the servants, he locked himself in his room.

Ji Gao took out his phone and anxiously opened the social media platform that he had not used for a long time. Then, he followed what his friend had said previously and searched for news about tax evasion.

The public opinion on the Internet was all over the place. Without even needing Ji Gao to search carefully, a large number of posts about tax evasion immediately appeared.

The netizens had their own opinions on this matter.

There were countless suspicious tycoons listed by the netizens. Among them, the one who accounted for the majority of the posts was Ji Gao, who had previously caused an uproar online and was very “famous”.

Ji Gao looked at the netizens’ guesses about him. His heart, which was in his throat, instantly felt like it had fallen into a cold lake, making him shiver uncontrollably.

If… if this matter blew up in the end, what… what would he do?

The more Ji Gao thought about it, the more flustered he became.

He walked around the room a few times, gritted his teeth, picked up his phone, and called one of the people that had been involved at that time.

After the call went through, before the other party could say anything, Ji Gao had already blurted out his question.

“Why did this matter get out?! Why didn’t you deal with the news online?! Now that it’s blown up so much, how are we going to clean up the mess in the future?!”
