The butler stopped after saying this. After all, this concerned Ji Yuan, and he didn't know how to judge.
"Mr. Ji, please watch the surveillance."
Ji Ci already understood that this matter was most likely related to the Ji family, which was why the housekeeper was hesitant to speak.
Looking at the video sent by the housekeeper, in which Shen Mingzhu was locked in the utility room by the servants, Ji Ci's expression turned cold.
Ji Yuan is really amazing. He even dares to commit illegal detention. It seems that it is his fault as the head of the family.
"Did the eldest lady ask you to pick up Shen Mingzhu?"
The driver didn’t understand why Ji Ci’s expression changed, but he nodded truthfully.
"It was the eldest lady who said that the old lady wanted to see Miss Shen. So I went to contact Miss Shen."
Ji Ci placed his hands on the armrest, tapping his knuckles rhythmically. Those who were familiar with Ji Ci knew that he was impatient.
"Drive, go home."
The driver didn't know what Ji Yuan had done, but since he had been with Ji Ci for so long, he knew very well that Ji Ci was angry.
Sure enough, as soon as the car stopped, Ji Ci opened the door and got out by himself, then walked quickly towards Ji Yuan's room.
"Yuanyuan, you don't know that Shen Mingzhu was actually locked up by me. Seeing her helpless and cowardly look makes me feel relieved!"
"Really? How satisfying is that?" Ji Ci stood at the door of Ji Yuan's room with his arms folded across his chest.
"Cousin?" Ji Yuan was leaning on the bed in a relaxed posture. When she heard Ji Ci's voice, she sat up and hung up the phone in a hurry.
Ji Ci opened his thin lips and uttered words that made Ji Yuan feel cold all over.
"Ji Yuan, it seems that Second Uncle and Second Aunt neglected to discipline you. In this case, I, as the head of the family, will teach you well on behalf of Second Uncle."
Ji Yuan's legs went limp and her pupils trembled violently. She seemed to remember something horrible and her body trembled uncontrollably.
Ji Ci’s discipline was so horrible that she didn’t want to experience it a second time.
But she could only pretend to be calm, "Cousin, what did I do to deserve this?"
She didn't believe that any servant would dare to tell Ji Ci about Shen Mingzhu.
Chen Shuyu, who was following behind Ji Ci and was Ji Ci's second aunt, saw this scene and subconsciously protected Ji Yuan behind her.
"Xiao Ci, what happened?"
"Second Aunt, why don't you ask, what did your daughter do?"
Chen Shuyu turned to look at her daughter, and Ji Yuan just shook her head.
As long as she doesn't admit it and her mother protects her. Ji Ci shouldn’t be fine.
Thinking of this, Ji Yuan finally had the confidence to stand up straight.
"Xiao Ci, Yuanyuan is a bit willful, but she is not a bad person by nature, she is just a bit spoiled."
"Spoiled? So Second Aunt thinks she's not a bad person even if she breaks the law?"
"What do you mean?" Chen Shuyu then looked at her daughter seriously.
"Cousin, when have I ever done anything that violates the law?" When Ji Yuan heard Ji Ci say this, she felt relieved and her expression was not as nervous as before.
She thought Ji Ci came to her to settle the score because she bullied his fiancée.
"Besides, our Ji family is extremely powerful. No matter what I do, the Ji family will be able to protect me!"
"Yes, Xiao Ci, our Ji family is so powerful that we can handle anything Yuanyuan does."
She knew her daughter very well. She was just a little domineering in school. Besides, the common people were originally lowly, so they should feel honored that Yuanyuan bullied them!
Chen Shuyu had no idea of the seriousness of the problem.
The coldness in Ji Ci's eyes became even stronger. "Who gave you the illusion that the Ji family would protect you unconditionally?"
"Illegal detention, Ji Yuan, who gave you the right?"
Hearing this, Ji Yuan was even more disapproving. After all, it was all for Shen Mingzhu.
"Cousin, I was just teaching her a lesson. I didn't really hurt or abuse her."
"That bitch actually complained to you about this?"
"So you think you're not wrong?"
"It's such a small matter. Even if Shen Mingzhu called the police, it didn't accumulate for more than 24 hours, so it didn't meet the standard for filing a case."
Ji Ci sneered, "It turns out that it's not that I don't understand the law, but that I understand it very well. It seems that I have done this kind of thing many times. In this case, if something goes wrong in the future, the lawyers of the Ji family will be useless. After all, my cousin herself studied law."
Chen Shuyu probably knew what her daughter had done, "Xiao Ci, this is not a big deal. I thought something big had happened when you came running over like that."
"I will inform the Ji family's legal team now that they will not deal with my cousin's affairs in the future. After all, they are paid by the company but do not understand the law as well as my cousin. So there is no need to waste time on my cousin's affairs."
"Humph, they are certainly not as good as me, and I don't need them."
Ji Yuan actually thought that Ji Ci was praising her for her outstanding abilities.
In fact, what Ji Ci meant was that he would ignore Ji Yuan’s affairs in the future.
However, since Ji Yuan misunderstood, he would not explain further.
Ji Ci left straight away. One day, Ji Yuan would pay the price for her arrogance.
The servant guarding the door of the utility room was bored and didn't realize anything when he saw Ji Ci coming.
"Boss Ji? Why are you here?"
"Open the door."
The servant then realized that Shen Mingzhu was still inside, "Boss Ji, there's just a bunch of junk in there, nothing to see."
"Don't make me repeat myself a second time."
The servant gritted his teeth and said, "The eldest lady asked us to do it. We were forced."
They had no awareness of not betraying Ji Yuan. After all, Ji Yuan was the eldest daughter, and if she made a mistake, they would just say a few words.
If they don't reveal the mastermind, they will be fired by the Ji family.
Not to mention how well the Ji family treats them, just the reputation of being unwanted by the Ji family means that no other place would want them.
