Chapter 1449: Chapter 1449: Locked Up for a Night

As the voice recorder emitted its sound, Jiang Xue finally recalled what had happened earlier, and appeared utterly shocked, falling backward.

"Ho-how could this happen?" Jiang Xue feigned an astonished look, questioning Jin Hao: "Mr. Jin, how could you do this to me? How could you poison me? What exactly are you trying to do?"

"Do what?" Jin Hao sneered and then said, "Miss Jiang, you’re so smart, surely you know what I want to do?"

"You, you want me to work for you?"

"See, isn’t that right?" Jin Hao looked at Jiang Xue with a mocking expression and said, "Miss Jiang, since you’ve already agreed to the terms, follow me properly. If you dare to back out, I won’t be polite with you."

"I, I..." Jiang Xue looked at Jin Hao in shock, seemingly intimidated by him. Jin Hao, observing this, dropped his gentlemanly act and coldly said to her, "Miss Jiang, please remember, those who betray me will not have a good ending."

After saying this, he directly instructed Ah Lin: "Ah Lin, take Miss Jiang down to rest."

"Miss Jiang, please!" Ah Lin walked up to Jiang Xue, coldly speaking. Jiang Xue looked at Jin Hao, opened her mouth, but ultimately didn’t say a word.

Jiang Xue was led away by Ah Lin, and Jin Hao walked to his desk, picking up a cigar to smoke. He knew Jiang Xue hadn’t fully submitted to him yet, but he wasn’t in a hurry. Because Jiang Xue was already addicted due to substance abuse, submitting to him was only a matter of time.

At this moment, Jin Hao had no idea that Jiang Xue was merely acting. While he was plotting against Jiang Xue, she was also plotting against him.

Now, Jiang Xue had successfully been kept by Jin Hao, and infiltrating his company was only a matter of time as well. Of course, to prevent Jin Hao from discovering her true intentions, she had to keep up the act.

Moreover, she couldn’t truly and quickly become devoted to Jin Hao, even if it was just an act. She had to take it slowly, gradually making Jin Hao trust her, and slowly infiltrate his inner circle, making him let his guard down.

Only then could she take down the MD Group in one swoop and truly eliminate the hidden danger.

Jiang Xue was taken by Ah Lin into a room and locked inside. Besides a chair and a bed, the room had nothing else, resembling a detention room in the military.

Jiang Xue lay down on the bed, reflecting on her performance today to check for any flaws. After reviewing it once, she found no flaws and thus relaxed, closing her eyes.

She lay on the bed for a while, then suddenly there was a noise from the wall. Jiang Xue listened carefully and realized it was a code. Only then did she know that Huo Cong was locked in the next room.

Huo Cong asked, "Sister-in-law, are you okay?"

So, Jiang Xue lightly tapped the wall in response: "Don’t worry, I’m fine!"

Hearing Jiang Xue’s answer, Huo Cong was relieved. As long as Jiang Xue was okay, otherwise he wouldn’t know how to explain to the boss.

Jiang Xue and Huo Cong were locked in the room for an entire night. They had nothing to eat or drink. Jiang Xue was fine; she could enter a special space at night where food and drink were no issue. But Huo Cong had truly gone hungry for an entire day.

Fortunately, Jin Hao only kept them locked up for one night before letting them out, even arranging for breakfast for them.

"Miss Jiang, how was your rest last night?" Jin Hao approached while Jiang Xue was eating, smiling as he asked.
