Chapter 1404: Chapter 1404: Setting Him Up

At this moment, Mr. Lan couldn’t remain calm and immediately consulted his superiors. Consequently, Old Jiang was secretly invited by the State Security Bureau for a "tea session".

Old Jiang never imagined, even in his dreams, that his selfish desires would cause him to ruin his entire life.

If the investigation proves true, his days ahead will be far from easy. Imprisonment would be the least of his concerns; he might even be charged with espionage.

Jiang Xue wasn’t surprised at all when Old Sir Jiang’s issues were uncovered. For someone like him, who prioritized profit above all else, it was impossible not to engage in some wrongful acts.

Because his arrest was secretive, neither Old Madam Jiang nor Jin Hao received any news. Jiang Xue was aware, but she would not inform Old Madam Jiang.

As a result, it wasn’t until Old Sir Jiang had been missing for several days that Old Madam Jiang became alarmed and began searching for him everywhere. However, she had no leads at all.

Because of the suddenness of Old Sir Jiang’s disappearance, Old Madam Jiang couldn’t make a big fuss publicly, so she searched privately.

After two days without any news, Old Madam Jiang was thoroughly panicked and called her two sons back. However, Jiang Feng found an excuse to delay, so only Jiang Rui returned.

Facing her only son who returned, Old Madam Jiang cried sorrowfully. Jiang Rui, moved with compassion, could only comfort her by saying Old Sir Jiang was fine and would definitely come back.

After comforting Old Madam Jiang, Jiang Rui, concerned about his own wife, didn’t stay at the Jiang Family, but left overnight.

While on his way home, he received a call from Old Sir Jiang, who told him he was fine and was staying at a friend’s house.

With this, Jiang Rui felt relieved and suggested Old Sir Jiang personally call home, or else Old Madam Jiang would worry.

Old Sir Jiang agreed to this. Soon, Old Madam Jiang received a call from her husband, and upon knowing he was fine, she was relieved and stopped searching.

And just like that, Old Sir Jiang’s matter passed by. In the blink of an eye, it was time for the scheduled meeting between Jin Hao and Jiang Xue.

Though Jin Hao’s face had healed mostly, there were still some traces of injury. If not examined closely, they were hard to notice.

This was the only reason Jin Hao dared to meet Jiang Xue; otherwise, he would have waited a few more days.

Upon seeing Jin Hao, Jiang Xue immediately noticed that his facial injuries had mostly healed. She felt a tinge of regret, thinking that the person Mu Qiancheng had hired to beat him had gone too easy.

If possible, it would be best if Jin Hao couldn’t meet anyone for a few months.

"Miss Jiang, you’re here!" Jin Hao greeted with a smile upon seeing Jiang Xue. He dared not get too close, fearing she would notice his facial injuries.

However, he was completely unaware that Jiang Xue had excellent vision and could clearly see everything even from a distance.

"With Mr. Jin’s invitation, how could I not come?" Jiang Xue also smiled, taking a seat opposite Jin Hao. After sitting down, Jiang Xue glanced around and noticed a server approaching. She couldn’t help but ask, "Mr. Jin, having coffee again?"

"Yes, I’ve already ordered, and I also ordered you the same juice as last time, Miss Jiang."

"Thank you, Mr. Jin, that’s very thoughtful of you," Jiang Xue expressed her gratitude, then took out a document from the bag carried by her attendant, saying, "I’ve brought the letter of intent for collaboration. Mr. Jin, please take a look. If you find it satisfactory, we can proceed to sign the contract."

What Jiang Xue brought was not only the contract but also the plan she had previously discussed with Mr. Lan and others. However, she was setting a trap for Jin Hao under the guise of collaboration.
