Chapter 1460: Sowing Discord Face to Face
After speaking, he turned to look at Huo Cong and mocked, "I thought you guys were really close, but it’s just that. Just now she looked like she was going to plead for you, but when it came to kneeling, she fell silent."
"See, this is the person you desperately want to protect, pretending to plead on your behalf but stingy with her knees. Only someone like you would go out of their way to protect her."
Huo Cong looked coldly at Ah Lin without saying a word. If he couldn’t pick up on such obvious provocations from Ah Lin, then he would indeed be an idiot.

As for Ah Lin’s intentions, it’s nothing but an attempt to turn him and Jiang Xue against each other. Too bad he’s not a fool, so he won’t fall for it.
So he looked coldly at Ah Lin and asked, "Are you finished? If you are, get lost. How I proceed isn’t your concern."
"You?" Ah Lin heard Huo Cong’s words and was furious. He was trying to help him, but unfortunately, the other party didn’t appreciate it.
If that’s the case, then there’s no point in wasting words. Rather than talk, it would be better to have someone strike Huo Cong a few more times. Only by making it painful will he stop being foolish.
For this, Ah Lin turned to Jin Hao and said, "Boss, I think it’s better not to waste words. He simply doesn’t appreciate a kind heart."
"Alright then, continue hitting him!" Jin Hao said while looking at Jiang Xue, wondering if she would plead again or actually kneel down and beg him.
However, as his gaze met Jiang Xue’s, something changed. His eyes gradually became confused.
At the same time, Ah Lin and the man preparing to hit Huo Cong suddenly fainted and fell to the ground. Soon after, Jin Hao also closed his eyes and fell down.
Seeing Jin Hao and his subordinates faint, Jiang Xue finally breathed a sigh of relief, took out a small bottle from her pocket, poured out the pills inside, and fed them into their mouths.
Huo Cong watched, astonished. He stared blankly at Jiang Xue’s actions for quite a while, unable to react.
It wasn’t until Jiang Xue stood up and walked up to Huo Cong that he came to his senses, looking at Jin Hao and the others lying on the ground, he asked, "Sister-in-law, what’s happened to them?"
"It’s nothing, they were tired, so I let them sleep for a while." Jiang Xue said indifferently, without concern. But Huo Cong was slightly worried, worried that they’d wake up and seek revenge on Jiang Xue.
So he said to Jiang Xue, "Sister-in-law, while Jin Hao and the others are still asleep, let’s escape."
"Escape, where to?"
"Naturally, back to the country. Once we’re back, Jin Hao surely wouldn’t dare follow us domestically."
"Huo Cong, have you forgotten the purpose of our trip? Returning now would not only alert them but also be a waste of effort, and we might be hunted down by MD Group."
"Therefore, even if we go back, we have to wait until the task is completed."
"But what if Jin Hao retaliates?" Huo Cong said with concern. Now Jin Hao and the others are knocked out, unclear on what happened. But what about when they wake up?
"Huo Cong, don’t worry. I just fed them something potent, even if they wake up, they have to act under my orders, or else I can take their lives at any time."
Hearing Jiang Xue say this, Huo Cong no longer persuaded her. Because he had just seen Jiang Xue feed them something, likely capable of taking their lives.
Since Jin Hao and the others’ lives were in Jiang Xue’s hands, he was no longer worried.
