Chapter 1446: Chapter 1446: Poaching Her Right-Hand Man

Jiang Xue let out a big sigh of relief and then slipped into the space.

The recent scene was truly ugly, and after performing for so long, she was tired and wanted to rest for a while. Fortunately, today’s office didn’t have surveillance everywhere like it would in the future.

While Jiang Xue stayed in the space, she had Little Fox keep an eye on them, always watching to see if Jin Hao and the others would come in.

However, Jin Hao had made up his mind to let Jiang Xue suffer a bit, so he didn’t come in so quickly. Instead, he went to the room where Huo Cong was being held, intending to persuade Huo Cong to leave Jiang Xue and join him.

Upon hearing the door open, Huo Cong, who had been resting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them and saw Jin Hao enter, momentarily startled. He didn’t expect Jin Hao to come looking for him so soon, nor did he know what had happened with Jiang Xue.

To be honest, just now in Jin Hao’s office, he was really sad, upset, disappointed, and angry.

However, after being locked in this room, he gradually calmed down. He thought about the things Jiang Xue had discussed with him before and couldn’t help but blame himself.

That day, he was present, and Jiang Xue wasn’t injected with drugs, so it was impossible for her to be experiencing withdrawal.

Therefore, just now Jiang Xue was merely acting, but he didn’t expect the performance to be so realistic that he believed it and really thought Jiang Xue was going through withdrawal.

"Mr. Huo!" Jin Hao walked up to Huo Cong, glanced at him indifferently, noticing that he no longer seemed as sad and disappointed as before, and couldn’t help but frown slightly.

"Does Mr. Jin have something to discuss?" Huo Cong asked coldly. He didn’t know what Jin Hao was up to, so he wasn’t friendly.

"It seems Mr. Huo is in a bad mood?" Jin Hao smiled and sat down opposite Huo Cong.

"You’re overthinking it!" Huo Cong replied, not admitting to what Jin Hao said. However, Jin Hao took it as him being stubborn and said straight away, "Indeed, if I were abandoned by my master, I wouldn’t feel good either. Especially when I was still thinking entirely about my master."

"Mr. Jin, if you have something to say, just say it. Why beat around the bush?" Huo Cong looked at Jin Hao with an unpleasant expression, as if his secret had been exposed, and he was angry.

"Alright, since Mr. Huo said so, I’ll be direct. I admire Mr. Huo a lot. How about coming to work for me?"

Before Huo Cong could respond, Jin Hao continued, "Of course, Mr. Huo doesn’t have to agree immediately; you can think it over."

"There’s no need to consider!" Huo Cong said calmly. Jin Hao, however, was pleased, looking at Huo Cong with some excitement, and asked, "Mr. Huo, are you agreeing?"

"Agree?" Huo Cong laughed coldly and said, "You’re overthinking it. I’m the sister-in-law’s bodyguard, always will be."

Upon hearing this, Jin Hao’s expression turned grim, saying to Huo Cong, "Mr. Huo, you are indeed Jiang Xue’s bodyguard, but don’t forget how she treated you just now."

"That’s between her and me, no need for Mr. Jin to worry about it." Huo Cong said coldly. Jin Hao gave Huo Cong a deep look. Though angry inside, he didn’t show it.

However, Ah Lin, seeing Huo Cong’s lack of appreciation, was very angry and said coldly, "Huo Cong, Mr. Jin offering you to work with him shows he values you. Don’t regret it by ruining your own reputation."

"Don’t worry, I will never regret it."

"You, fine, very well, it seems you won’t cry until you see the coffin. When Jiang Xue becomes our Mr. Jin’s, what do you think you’ll be worth then?"
