Ji Pengfei said with a long face, "My people did find the first message posted online, but when they traced the IP address that posted it, they found... they found it was located in the Atlantic Ocean!"
Of course, it's impossible for someone to travel all the way to the Atlantic just to leak information, so there's only one possibility: the other party's IP address has been tampered with.
The purpose was to confuse the situation and thus escape investigation.
It seems the other party is a very skilled computer expert.
Ji Zhinan sat elegantly on the sofa, picked up the black tea brought by the maid, and sipped the tea while listening to Ji Pengfei talk.
Ji Zhinan was radiant, her eyes sparkling with joy. It was clear she was in a good mood.
While everyone was enjoying themselves, Ji Pengfei was in a panic: "Dad, you need to think of a solution! If this isn't dealt with soon, our company's stock will plummet!"
"What are you thinking about?" Old Master Ji couldn't help but sternly say, "Of course, it's admitting your mistakes and sincerely apologizing!"
Instead of racking your brains to come up with another lie to cover up the flaws in the previous one, it's better to openly admit the lie, apologize publicly, and make a promise to everyone. This way, at least you can minimize the damage.
Ji Pengfei's brows were furrowed deeply, and it was clear that he did not agree with the old man's words.
Previously, he and the Mu family tried every means to cover up their family's affairs, but now they have to change their tune and admit it. Isn't this slapping him in the face in front of everyone?
Knowing that the old man is very angry, if we openly defy him, this matter is destined to remain unresolved.
Even though he was full of reluctance, Ji Pengfei still bowed his head and obediently agreed on the surface.
"Dad, I'll listen to you."
Although Ji Pengfei wasn't very smart, he was at least somewhat obedient.
The old man's expression softened considerably, and his tone of voice became warmer: "Get up."
Mrs. Ji quickly stood up and sat on the sofa next to her.
“Dad, this kind of loss won’t salvage much.” Madam Ji stared at the old man and continued, “We need to do something else.”
Seeing that she had a plan, the old man asked, "What do you want to do?"
"The Mu family wields considerable power in the capital, and they only have one heir, Mu Zeyu. The Ji family is in turmoil. If you ask me, we should take this opportunity to form a marriage alliance with the Mu family, binding our two families together forever. As long as the Mu family exists, our Ji family will never fall!"
Ji Pengfei felt that his wife made a lot of sense. It was common for wealthy families like theirs to use marriage alliances to consolidate their status. The Mu family had developed earlier than the Ji family and was outstanding in all aspects. It would be beneficial to associate with the Mu family.
Ji Pengfei also joined Madam Ji in brainwashing the old man: "Dad, Xiuqin is right. Marriage is indeed the best way to solve the current predicament."
Hearing his son and daughter-in-law's suggestion, Old Master Ji hesitated.
The children from the Mu and Ji families grew up together and were childhood sweethearts. In addition, the Mu family's heir, Mu Zeyu, also had feelings for the Ji family's girl...
If the Ji family can truly form a powerful alliance with the Mu family, it would also be a good thing for the Ji family.
Grandpa Ji looked at Ji Zhinan beside him, his tone becoming affectionate: "Although you're twenty, Grandpa still feels like you're a child and is reluctant to let you get married. But Grandpa also knows you'll have your own little family sooner or later. You and Zeyu have known each other for so many years, and I feel at ease entrusting you to this old man. Nannan, your parents just said to think it over carefully. If you don't want to settle down right now, Grandpa respects your decision..."
Mr. and Mrs. Ji were completely bewildered by what Grandpa Ji had to say.
