At noon, the Ji Group finally issued a statement announcing that it would hold a press conference at 3 p.m.
Holding a press conference at this time will definitely make Ji Yan the target of public criticism, and he will have to face all the difficult questions alone.
The Ji family chose to trust him and believed he could solve the problem, so they didn't interfere further.
Instead, the company's shareholders were worried that the Ji Group's interests would be harmed, so they sent two shareholders to persuade Ji Yan.
"President Ji, do you have a foolproof solution to the media's questions? This is the most critical time for Floating Firefly Island, and we can't let this matter affect it."
"Yes, Mr. Ji, although this is just a family matter, it ultimately concerns the company's interests, so we have to get involved."
Ji Yan casually closed the document in his hand, slowly raised his head, and said coldly, "If you are worried about the company's interests being harmed, I can buy back the shares you hold in my personal capacity."
Upon hearing that their shares were to be taken back, the two shareholders immediately panicked.
"Mr. Ji, we didn't mean that, we just came to ask."
"Yes, of course we believe in President Ji's abilities, so we won't bother you any longer."
They had personally experienced how difficult it was to obtain shares in the Ji Group. If they were to lose their shares because of something that hadn't even happened yet, then it would be a huge loss for them.
We can only hope that President Ji will shirk all responsibility; they can afford a small loss.
It was exactly 3 p.m.
At the press conference, almost all the media outlets in the country of Z were present. Some even arrived as early as noon, hoping to secure the best interview position.
Just as all the cameras were pointed at the stage, Ji Yan finally appeared.
He had abandoned his usual aloof and cold demeanor; now, his entire being exuded an undeniable sinister aura.
The icy glint in his eyes sent chills down the spines of the reporters at the very front.
Even after Ji Yan sat down, no one dared to ask a question, for fear of angering this great figure.
After all, there is a world of difference between asking questions face-to-face and posting them online; they cherish money but also their lives.
Of course, there are also people who value money more than life itself, like the person with the scar on their eye.
Seeing that no one dared to step forward and ask questions, he had no choice but to step forward himself and put the microphone to his mouth.
"Mr. Ji, is it true that Ji Fuying seduced you and ruined your wedding with Miss Xingchu?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the room fell silent, and the other reporters looked at him with envy.
If he could get an accurate answer from Ji Yan, he would be rolling in money; his income in one day could be equivalent to a lifetime's salary.
Ji Yan slowly turned his head, his cold, sharp gaze sweeping over him, a faint smile curving his thin lips.
"Zhang Cheng, you certainly have guts. No one has ever offended me and escaped unscathed. Do you think... you might be the first?"
Ji Yan's voice was unusually calm, but it was precisely this calmness that made Zhang Cheng feel even more uncertain.
His eyes darted nervously at the imposing figure ahead, a deep sense of fear gradually rising within him.
But then he thought about it again. Today, in front of everyone, even if Ji Yan had connections everywhere, he wouldn't dare to do anything to him openly.
He felt a surge of confidence. At worst, he could just take the money and go to another country after today. As long as he had money, it didn't matter where he lived.
So, he mustered his courage and replied, "I never expected that the renowned President Ji would know someone as insignificant as me. Does President Ji have anything to explain about my question?"
Ji Yan raised two fingers and gestured towards Han Xiao backstage before continuing, "Why don't you explain first how much money Xing Chu gave you?"
"What?" Zhang Cheng stood up in disbelief, his eyes filled with obvious panic.
How could Ji Yan know that Xing Chu had instructed him? He had kept this extremely secret; there was no reason for him to know.
At this moment, on the large screen behind them, Xing Chu and Zhang Cheng's transfer records, as well as their call records, were displayed one by one.
“Zhang Cheng, from this morning onwards, you have embarked on a path of no return. Xing Chu has left, but you cannot leave.”
"She left? How is that possible? She was contacting me at noon."
In a moment of excitement, he blurted out something he shouldn't have. Zhang Cheng knew he couldn't escape this today; he had fallen for that bitch Xing Chu's trick.
If she hadn't repeatedly assured him that everything would be perfect and that all the money would be in place, why would he have taken such a big risk?
Now that she's gone, he's finished, his whole life is over.
Soon, Zhang Cheng was taken away by the police. Xiao Jintian would arrange a series of charges against him, and he wouldn't be out for at least ten or eight years.
After Zhang Cheng was taken away, the scene fell silent once again, and even the netizens watching the live stream offline were stunned.
They never expected things to take such a dramatic turn; the first person to expose and publish the report turned out to have been paid to deliberately spread rumors and slander.
Ji Yan looked at them calmly, showing no intention of ending the press conference. It was a fact that Yingying had been with him.
It's a fact that she's with Mo Shiyan now, and all of this can be traced online.
In order to prevent future troubles, he decided to take this opportunity to thoroughly clarify the matter between the two of them.
Otherwise, if this matter is exposed again by someone with ulterior motives in the future, Yingying will face more than just the simple situation she is facing now.
"The purpose of holding this press conference today is twofold: first, to expose those who maliciously slander me, and second, to be frank with everyone about something: Ji Fuying and I did indeed have a relationship."
The audience gasped in disbelief. They had initially thought the evidence was fabricated by Zhang Cheng, but it turned out to be genuine.
“She is the adopted daughter of the Ji family and has no blood relation with me. She has been exceptionally outstanding since she was a child, and I fell in love with her without even realizing it.”
“I told the elders in my family about this and got their consent, but I misunderstood her and hurt her. She did have my child, and at that time I was already preparing to propose.”
"Because of my mistake, she was rushed to the emergency room covered in blood. She survived by the skin of her teeth, but the child... we lost him."
"In despair, she left me and left Country A. I couldn't find her for three whole years. Just then, Xingchu made a suggestion to me: maybe holding a fake wedding could force her to come back."
“I really had no other choice, which is why the wedding ended inconclusively. The only person I have ever loved is her. She is my one and only. So there is no such thing as a mistress or seduction. I am the one who has always been at fault.”
