Chapter 433: Fine

Ji Gao hummed softly, as if he did not know what to say anymore.

Old Master Ji didn’t mind and continued, “You’ve already done it. If the officials want to investigate, they can naturally find out the ins and outs of the matter. You don’t have any other way now. Instead of finding someone else to take the blame, why don’t you turn yourself in now?”

Instead of a storm from Old Master Ji, Old Master Ji had come to help him come up with ideas. Ji Gao still could not believe it for a moment.

“Dad,” Ji Gao murmured.

“Go and turn yourself in now. Be serious and take the initiative to compensate. You don’t have to go to jail.” Old Master Ji ignored Ji Gao and continued, “You should know what to say and what not to say. I don’t need to teach you.”

At this point, Old Master Ji paused and his voice became serious.

“If this matter can be resolved smoothly, you and the Ji Group can continue surviving. If it can’t be resolved… I don’t need to say much about the consequences, right?”

It was Ji Gao who had committed the crime, but the person in charge of the Ji Group was Old Master Ji.

If this matter could not be resolved, neither of them would be able to escape responsibility. So now, having Ji Gao turn himself in was the best solution he could think of.

Ji Gao listened to Old Master Ji’s words in silence. He naturally knew that Old Master Ji’s method was the right one. It was also the only way out for him, and for them now.

He gritted his teeth. “Dad, I understand. 1’11 turn myself in now!”

“Go. Our Ji family can still afford a fine of billions. It’s really not wise to go to jail for this.”

Ji Gao hummed in reply. He did not speak, and the other party did not speak either.

This silence made Ji Gao even more frightened.

His hand that was holding the phone trembled slightly. He swallowed his saliva and only dared to speak after emboldening himself.

“Dad, I-I’ve caused so much trouble for the Ji Group. Why… why didn’t you scold me?”

Before the matter had escalated to this point, Old Master Ji had already scolded him unhappily. It could even be said that he had barraged him without any second thoughts.

This tax evasion was even more serious than the previous issues about morals. He could already imagine how Old Master Ji would scold him.

However, he did not expect that Old Master Ji still did not speak.

Old Master Ji was silent for a long time before saying, “Because it’s useless to scold you.”

If it was just a moral matter, then he would scold Ji Gao and hope that Ji Gao would remember his mistakes, or he would not dare to do such a thing again out of fear.

But now… this was a matter that would concern possible imprisonment. So what if he scolded Ji Gao?

Even if he looked down on Ji Gao and felt that he was not capable enough, he could not really watch his biological son go to jail.

What was the use of scolding Ji Gao at this time? Could it be that if he scolded Ji Gao, he wouldn’t have to go to jail?

‘How is that possible?’

Therefore, he could only think of how to help Ji Gao resolve this matter.

Of course, he would not say this to Ji Gao.

“Instead of worrying about these things here, why don’t you settle the matter immediately? You can’t afford to waste time now.” This chapter was originally shared via N0/vel/Biin.

After Old Master Ji finished speaking, he hung up.

Ji Gao listened to the beeping sound in his ear and thought of Old Master Ji’s words just now. He suddenly felt a little calm.

His eyes flashed, and he tightened his grip on the phone.

In just a moment, Ji Gao composed himself and left the Ji family’s villa. He drove alone to turn himself in and honestly explained the whole process of his tax evasion.

The relevant departments quickly found the relevant evidence and personnel, and punished them according to the severity of the matter.

Ji Gao still remembered that the person who handled the matter previously had threatened him. Afraid of complicating matters, he took the initiative to request to bear all the fines himsself and lighten the punishment for the other parties involved.

Ji Gao’s attitude was not bad. In addition, he had turned himself in and was willing to bear the fine, so the relevant departments did not make things too difficult for Ji Gao.

Three days later, Ji Gao’s private account paid 500 million yuan in taxes and related fines to the tax department.

After the fine was handed over, the relevant departments issued a notice to put an end to this matter.

[When Ji Gao was the CEO of the Ji Group, he used his position to evade taxes by 500 million yuan. This is a severe matter, and a matter of ill nature. However, because of his upright attitude, he took the initiative to turn himself in and paid the corresponding fine. Thus, appropriate lenienvy will be accorded. A fine of 3.22 billion in fines and taxes has been imposed on Ji Gao and the Ji Group, and this amount has been received..]
