Chapter 1457: Surrendered Without Resistance
"Little Fox, you don’t understand. There’s a saying: if you’re not willing to sacrifice the child, you’ll never trap the wolf. If I don’t do this, it’ll be very hard to penetrate the enemy from the inside, let alone dismantle their entire organization."
"Looks like you’ve already made up your mind."
"Yes!"
Little Fox stopped talking. Jiang Xue got dressed, then sat on the sofa and waited. As soon as the people coming for her opened the door and came in, Jiang Xue moved immediately. She started fighting them, but in order to achieve her goal, halfway through the fight Jiang Xue deliberately lost and was taken away by the enemy.
In fact, she was only putting on an act before surrendering. If it were a real fight, the men in front of her wouldn’t be any match for Jiang Xue at all.

The commotion over here reached Huo Cong on the other side, so when he opened his door, he just happened to see Jiang Xue being taken away.
Seeing this, Huo Cong’s expression changed. He struck out at the people grabbing Jiang Xue right away. But the other side had more men, and they didn’t want to waste time tangling with Huo Cong, so they split off a few to hold him back while the rest took Jiang Xue away.
Jiang Xue knew what kind of skills Huo Cong had behind him, so she wasn’t worried he’d suffer a loss—she was only worried he’d suffer because of being dragged into her mess.
However, Huo Cong was smart too. He didn’t get bogged down fighting them. After a few moves, he shook them off and went straight after the ones who had taken Jiang Xue.
When those men were about to load Jiang Xue into the car, Huo Cong caught up to them and started fighting them again.
Just as they were trading blows, the ones Huo Cong had shaken off earlier also caught up. The enemy had numbers on their side, and Huo Cong quickly fell into a disadvantage and, like Jiang Xue, was captured.
Being seized, Huo Cong glared hatefully at those men, then was shoved into a car along with her.
The two of them weren’t put in the same vehicle, but they were taken to the same place. As soon as Jiang Xue got in, her eyes were covered, so she couldn’t see anything outside at all.
It was the same for Huo Cong—he couldn’t see anything either. Fortunately, Little Fox in the space was there; it helped Jiang Xue watch the route, telling her which places the car passed by.
An hour later, the car stopped. Jiang Xue was taken out and thrown into a cell. As for Huo Cong, he was also locked up, in the cell next to Jiang Xue’s.
Once imprisoned, Jiang Xue naturally refused to accept it and immediately kicked up a huge fuss. But she hadn’t been making trouble for long when Jin Hao appeared. Looking at Jiang Xue, who wouldn’t stop, he said coldly, "Miss Jiang, do you think I’m not going to do anything to you?"
"Mr. Jin, don’t forget we’re in a cooperative relationship." Jiang Xue shot Jin Hao a cold look and said, "If you want our cooperation to continue, you’d better let me go."
"Jiang Xue, are you threatening me?" Jin Hao’s face darkened. That so‑called cooperation earlier had only been a pretext to get close to Jiang Xue, a cover for bringing her onto his own turf in M Country.
Did she really think he would actually cooperate with her? Sure, Jiang Xue’s company did have promising prospects. But he valued his own country’s technology more. He believed that as long as he had the product, then had domestic technicians study it, producing something identical wouldn’t be a problem at all.
It was only a matter of time.
"Think whatever you like." Jiang Xue’s whole attitude screamed, I am threatening you, what can you do about it, which made Jin Hao flare up instantly. He sneered, "Miss Jiang, I used to think you were smart. Now it seems you’re nothing special."
