Gu Xiao’s expression instantly darkened.
Hearing these words, she suddenly thought of herself in her previous life, who had been played by Ji Gao and Ji Yao. She was also like an ant, controlled by Ji Gao, and had no choice.
“Think about it carefully. Is your own future more important than an unrelated person?” His deep voice carried a hint of helplessness. “Besides, the family of the person we chose doesn’t even care about her. In fact, they can’t wait for her to die. Could you be closer to her than her family?”
After saying this, a wave of footsteps sounded. After a moment, another wave of footsteps sounded.
It seemed that the two of them had left.
Just as Gu Xiao and Chu An were about to turn off the video, a series of footsteps sounded from the video.
Gu Xiao hurriedly stopped the hand that was about to turn off the video, wanting to see if there were any other clues.
“Eh? Why isn’t this camera turned off? Who is so careless? Aren’t they afraid of being scolded by the director?”
As she spoke, there was a rustling sound. Then, the entire video ended.
After confirming that there was no more progress bar on the video, Gu Xiao ejected the USB drive from the computer.
Her body relaxed and she lowered her head slightly. She leaned back a little and was about to sink into the office chair.
When she heard this, she did not even know how to face it. She felt a wave of powerlessness.
Chu An looked down at Gu Xiao and knew that she probably wasn’t feeling too good right now.
Back then, Gu Xiao and Chen Li were both from the countryside. In addition, they had a good relationship and had studied together. Gu Xiao had always been brooding over the fact that Chen Li had jumped off a building and committed suicide.
For a period of time after that, Gu Xiao’s mood had been in a depressed state. Fortunately, Gu Xiao had a strong mentality and walked out on her own.
However, these words now probably pulled Gu Xiao back to those emotions from back then.
He gave Tian Xian a look. Tian Xian had found out the answer he wanted to know. In addition, he could tell that Gu Xiao was in a bad mood, so he didn’t stay any longer. After nodding slightly at Chu An, he left quietly.
As for the USB flash drive, it was better to leave it in Gu Xiao’s hands.
After Tian Xian left and closed the office door, Chu An raised his hand and stroked Gu Xiao’s back.
“Xiaoxiao, we’ve found the truth of what happened back then. We should be happy that we can clear Chen Li’s name.”
“But that was a young life, and it was actually destroyed because of this kind of thing. It’s really… really unacceptable.”
Just to promote Ji Yao, just for that so-called industrial monopoly, they could casually degrade a human life. It really made her feel a little terrible.
Chu An bent down and reached out to wrap his arms around Gu Xiao, allowing Gu Xiao to hide in his embrace for a while.
“That’s why we have to stop Ji Gao’s venture for an industrial monopoly.”
Gu Xiao leaned her head on Chu An’s shoulder and closed her eyes slightly. After a moment, Gu Xiao, who had sorted out her thoughts, opened her eyes again.
She moved and broke free from Chu An’s embrace.
The eyes that looked at Chu An had already returned to their usual calmness.
“I want to post this video online,” Gu Xiao said word by word.
Chu An nodded without hesitation. “Okay, we’ll send the video out.”
They said that they were going to post the video, but the timing of the video being posted still needed to be discussed.
Especially since the Ji Group was still under Ji Chen’s management, if the video was released, Ji Chen would be implicated as well.
After all, this time, it was not the same as before. It was not just a matter of morality, but concerned two lives.
Even if they could not bring down the Ji Group, they could still cause a serious blow to the Ji Group.
She did not want to hurt Ji Chen because of her own matters.
Chu An naturally understood how important Ji Chen was to Gu Xiao, so he didn’t stop her.
“This matter is of great importance and is also related to Brother Chen. Then, we should tell Brother Chen about this first and see what he plans to do.” Chu An looked at Gu Xiao inquiringly.
Gu Xiao nodded. “Alright, let’s contact my brother first..”
