Chapter 1438: In Peril

Chapter 1438: Chapter 1438: In Peril

Seeing that there were fewer people gathered around Jiang Xue, Jin Hao’s eyes flickered, then he said to Jiang Xue, "Miss Jiang, did I say something wrong?"

"Mr. Jin, you’re joking. This is just the truth, you only spoke honestly." Jiang Xue didn’t care that fewer people were surrounding her now. What she cared about was when Jin Hao was planning to show his true colors and start forcing her.

The banquet went on until ten at night, and the guests began taking their leave one after another. Seeing that it was getting late, Jiang Xue was also preparing to leave. Unexpectedly, Jin Hao called out to her, saying, "Miss Jiang, please wait a moment. Later I’ll personally take you back."

"Mr. Jin, there’s no need for the trouble. Just find a driver to take me back. It’s late, I need to head home."

"Is that so, then I’ll have Ah Lin take you back." Jin Hao didn’t insist any further. Since Jiang Xue had now been injected with drugs, he wasn’t in a rush. By tomorrow, Jiang Xue wouldn’t be able to stand it and would come begging him on her own.

"Then thank you!" Jiang Xue expressed her thanks, then waited for Ah Lin to bring the car around. In just a short while, the car pulled up at the entrance. Jiang Xue took a look and saw it was the same driver who had picked her up.

"Mr. Jin, I’ll be going, then. Thank you very much for your hospitality today." Seeing that the car had arrived, Jiang Xue thanked Jin Hao, then got into the car.

Huo Cong got into the car after her. The whole night he’d been like a transparent person. But behind the scenes, he had helped Jiang Xue with quite a few things.

And seeing that Huo Cong knew better than to cling to Jiang Xue all the time, Jin Hao was somewhat satisfied with him. He’d seen the people behind Huo Cong. He was already thinking that once Jiang Xue became his woman, he’d pull Huo Cong in as well—he might gain another useful helper.

After returning to the hotel, Jiang Xue immediately called Mr. Lan and reported what had happened today and what she was planning to do.

When Mr. Lan heard that Jin Hao had actually injected Jiang Xue with drugs, his face turned very grim. Fortunately, Jiang Xue was smart enough to find someone to take her place; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

As for Jiang Xue’s plan to play along and set a trap, Mr. Lan was in favor of it. This was a rare opportunity; they had been unable to infiltrate the enemy’s inner circle for so long, and yet Jiang Xue had such a chance as soon as she arrived—naturally they couldn’t let it slip.

It was just that this would make Jiang Xue’s situation much more dangerous. Mr. Lan instructed Jiang Xue on what to watch out for, and told her about the behaviors of people who had used drugs, and only then hung up.

After hanging up, Jiang Xue sat alone, pondering the mindset and behavior of drug users. Thinking it through like that, it was already midnight. Fortunately, before going to the hotel she had already prepared Little Reunion’s dinner; otherwise, if she were only just now getting something ready, the little one would surely be starving.

When Jiang Xue lay down on the bed, she made another call to Mu Qiancheng, told him about her situation here, and also mentioned the drugs.

After Mu Qiancheng learned that Jiang Xue intended to play along with Jin Hao, he was extremely worried, wishing he could rush to her side immediately and carry out the mission with her.

Unfortunately, he was a soldier and had to obey orders. Since he couldn’t stay by Jiang Xue’s side himself, Mu Qiancheng could only look for someone else. Even if he had to pay a huge sum, he wouldn’t hesitate.

So, after hanging up on Jiang Xue, he directly turned on his computer, logged into a website, and sent out a message.

Once the message was sent, he didn’t bother with it anymore and directly closed the page.
