Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Qu Xiujie only stared back at her silently. It was clear that before the negotiations began today, it had already been rejected by Mother Ji.
At the same time, in Pei Ge’s office, Sire Nine was still refusing to budge on Ji Miao’s matter. Ji Ziming had realized earlier on that this elderly man was here to redress the injustice that the lady had supposedly suffered.
Upon knowing that the lady committed suicide in prison, Sire Nine exploded. His aura was so strong that he seemed about ready to swallow the couple whole.
“Sire Nine, please be appeased. You said that Ji Miao is your friend’s daughter, then do you know that she has a younger sister? She looks very, very similar to her. Their similarity is more than ninety percent.”
Ji Ziming sat in his chair and watched the elderly man fly into a thunderous rage, but after hearing his words, the latter fell silent and revealed a look of suspicion. His eyes also became slightly evasive.
“Young Master Ji, are you for real?”
He seemed to have lost his claws from before and sat back down in the chair. His gaze on the man became tinged with fear, but the latter did not notice this. Instead, he saw the hidden depths in his eyes.
The kind that could make one afraid.
“Of course, it’s real. You can go ask the police for confirmation. You’re so well-informed, so do you still need to doubt my words?”
He smiled as he regarded the elderly man with deep and dark eyes.
“You truly like to joke around. I am just an average citizen, so how can I be so well-informed? Still, since you’ve already informed me, how about you tell me where this younger sister is? No matter what, I can bring her home and take good care of her.”
“This younger sister is with me right now and can’t be with you yet. You know that girls are always more afraid and nervous around strangers. I don’t think she will be willing to return with you if she sees you like this.”
Ji Ziming smiled, recalling Ji Miao’s younger sister. There was a voice in his heart telling him that all these were not as simple as they looked on the surface.
Right after hearing Sire Nine’s voice, He Yun started his investigation. In a short while, he had checked the elderly man thoroughly. However, the image of an excellent entrepreneur that jumped out at him made Ji Ziming more suspicious.
A bad person would not write their evilness on the face. One would only be a better person than the good people.
He was not sure if Sire Nine was such a person, nor could he find a reason to continue the investigation. This was only their second meeting, yet he had already given him these many thoughts. If he took a wrong step, it would result in an eternal wrong.
“Rest assured; as long as she is willing to return home with you, I promise not to say anything, but for now, she needs immediate medical attention. Only my hospital has such medical facilities to provide that, and you know it. I don’t have much, but my hospital is rather good at treating patients.”
Ji Ziming was very confident that, in this city, few would dare compete with his hospital in terms of medical facilities and standards.
His hospital was the most famous in the capital.
No matter who set up their hospitals would have to admit that theirs were inferior to the Ji Group’s medical facilities.
“Of course, I do. You are right, so I won’t harp on this anymore. As long as her younger sister is doing well, I will be at ease.”
Sire Nine sat in his chair, the ferocity in him disappearing as it was replaced by tranquility. Still, in the other’s eyes, this was all but a façade.
“You can, of course, be at ease. With the issue of Ji Miao’s younger sister settled, I’d like to ask you what other matter you have to seek Pei Ge. Since there’s another matter, why don’t you tell us about it? Things must be settled, so don’t bottle them up.”
Ji Ziming looked at Sire Nine with his deep-set eyes, wanting to know every secret the latter had been hiding through his words.
Alas, the elderly man was an experienced businessman. He insisted that he had misunderstood and was truly leaving Pei Ge’s office this time. He even stood up and bowed to the woman in apology for his rashness.
“Madam Pei, I’m truly sorry. I heard that no one could visit Ji Miao in prison, so I came here to question you. Now that I know that it’s a misunderstanding, please be benevolent and don’t mind me. I am but an old man with one foot in his coffin. As for our cooperation next time, I’ll be sure to provide you with three percent more profits. How about that?”
His apology was very sincere. He did not even hesitate to raise the profits to protect as compensation to make up for this blunder.
“Sire Nine, you are being too polite. Since this is only a misunderstanding, there is no need to apologize using business interest. I accept your apology. It’s good enough to have a method to deal with such problems if it happens again.”
Pei Ge hurriedly stood up, thinking about what methods she should use if this elderly man did not agree. Due to his sudden arrival this morning, she had not had the time to deal with the company’s internal matters. As Ji Miao committed suicide, the company’s internal operations were about to become paralyzed.
To make matters worse, Sire Nine just had to come and create trouble.
“I will not insist since you’ve put it like that. I should quickly leave and not interrupt you and Young Master Ji’s work. I apologize to you again for this abrupt visit.”
Sire Nine apologized once more, but his eyes shone with mockery, which was caught in plain sight by Ji Ziming, who was sitting in the chair.
“Since you are leaving, let me send you off. Ge Ge, you can deal with the matters Ji Miao left behind here while I send him out.”
He stood up and hinted to her through his deep-set eyes to go investigate the exact matter in the manager’s office.
Ji Miao was originally the HR manager but had a queer relationship with Sire Nine—a person she should seem not have any relationship at all. He could not help but be suspicious of this. When they went to H City to catch Ji Miao, he had all her social relationships investigated but did not find any connection to Sire Nine.
Still, it felt natural if he thought more into it. The impression this guy gave him in their first meeting was that of a refined gentleman, yet that was not present at all in this second visit. Instead, he seemed murderous.
