Chapter 1462: Testing Suspicions
But tonight is different; tonight only a few of them are entering the dungeon. And there aren’t any other people in the dungeon—a relatively closed space, so even if she does something, no one will notice.
It was late, and Huo Cong didn’t ask anything more. After saying goodnight to Jiang Xue, he went to sleep. Jiang Xue followed suit, returning to her room and going to sleep.
When she woke up, daylight was already bright. After freshening up, Jiang Xue went into the space to prepare egg custard for Little Reunion, then waited for Jin Hao to come find her.
It didn’t take long before Jin Hao arrived, bringing breakfast for Jiang Xue and the others. Seeing the breakfast laid out on the table, Huo Cong still felt somewhat uncomfortable.
Everything before him felt unreal. Jiang Xue had no idea what Huo Cong was thinking; while eating breakfast, she pondered about quickly finding MD Group’s core information, toppling MD Group in one move, and then returning to her country to reunite with Mu Qiancheng.
Moreover, she didn’t know how long Little Fox’s brainwashing of Jin Hao last night would last; she needed to complete the task quickly after Jin Hao wakes up.
Otherwise, it would be troublesome once Jin Hao woke up.
After breakfast, Jiang Xue said to Jin Hao, "Mr. Jin, do you have time today? I’d like to visit the company headquarters."
"Headquarters, haven’t you been there before?" Jin Hao hesitated and asked. On her second day here, he had someone take Jiang Xue to tour the group’s headquarters.

"Mr. Jin, I’m not talking about the overt headquarters, but the secret one." Jiang Xue said with a smile. Upon hearing her words, Jin Hao’s expression changed, and he said to Jiang Xue, "Miss Jiang, I don’t understand your meaning. The company’s headquarters is the only one, the one you saw that day."
At these words, Jiang Xue’s complexion changed; she thought perhaps the hypnosis failed while cautiously observing Jin Hao and scrutinizing any change in his expression.
Unfortunately, Jiang Xue didn’t see anything.
"Really?" Jiang Xue asked, not believing it.
"Of course it’s true; we are partners, why would I deceive you?" Jin Hao said with a smile. There was no issue discernible from his tone and demeanor.
But for some reason, Jiang Xue felt somewhat uneasy. Therefore, she asked Little Fox in the space, "Little Fox, are you sure your hypnotism is reliable?"
"Woman, how can you doubt my capability?" Little Fox was displeased; being a Fox Immortal, its abilities had never been doubted before, yet now Jiang Xue often questioned it, which infuriated it.
"Little Fox, don’t be mad. Today’s Jin Hao is a bit strange, I’m uneasy, so I just wanted to confirm with you."
"Hmph, I’m not talking to you anymore!" Little Fox was genuinely angry; yesterday’s brainwashing of Jin Hao and the others had cost it quite an effort. Yet Jiang Xue had the audacity to doubt it.
That’s akin to working hard and gaining no reward. It refused to interact with this woman anymore.
Seeing Little Fox was upset, Jiang Xue didn’t have the time to placate it. Since Jin Hao noted she had finished breakfast, he immediately said, "Miss Jiang, let me take you to the factory today and introduce you to a few people."
"Alright!" Jiang Xue nodded; although unsure about whom Jin Hao intended to introduce, she couldn’t take it lightly.
"Then off we go!" Jin Hao said, taking the lead to leave. Jiang Xue and Huo Cong followed Jin Hao downstairs and saw Ah Lin waiting by the car.
