Chapter 1392: Chapter 1392: A Matter to Discuss

The four elders each took turns holding Little Reunion for a while before finally letting him go off to play on his own while they watched from the side.

After dinner, Jiang Xue was just about to go to the study to read, and Little Reunion wanted to follow her. Jiang Xue had no choice but to take him along to the study.

However, she hadn’t been reading for long when the phone rang. Seeing that it was Mr. Lan calling, Jiang Xue hesitated for a moment before answering.

"Mr. Lan, is there something you need from me?" Jiang Xue asked bluntly. In fact, she already had a rough idea of why Mr. Lan was calling.

If she had been very firm before, now she was somewhat hesitant. Because Little Reunion couldn’t be without her, she was afraid that if she left, he would be even more heartbroken.

And she had no idea how long she would be gone. If it took too long, the bond between mother and son would be hard to repair.

It wasn’t that she hadn’t thought about taking Little Reunion with her, but if she did, the elders at home would miss the child, and it would also be more dangerous. She couldn’t possibly keep the child in the space all the time, could she?

"Jiang Xue, are you free now? I’m near your place—can you come out so we can talk?" Mr. Lan’s voice came through, making Jiang Xue pause slightly. She hadn’t expected Mr. Lan to actually come to her home.

"Alright, I’ll come out now." After Jiang Xue finished speaking, she hung up the phone. She had considered asking Mr. Lan to come inside, but that would make it inconvenient for them to talk business.

Jiang Xue carried her son out of the study and went downstairs. She handed Little Reunion over to the elders, told them a friend had come and she needed to step out for a bit.

"Xue’er, it’s so late at night—what friend is this?"

"Yeah, Xue’er, it’s already so late—why don’t you have your friend come inside?"

"Xue’er, it’s cold outside at night, let your friend come in."

"Dad, Mom, no need. I’ll just go out and say a few words and come back. Please help me watch Little Reunion; I’ll be back in a bit."

With that, Jiang Xue pushed the door open and went out. Once outside, she immediately saw the black car parked not far downstairs.

Jiang Xue walked toward the car, and just as she reached it, the car door opened. Mr. Lan stuck his head out and greeted her.

"Get in and we’ll talk!" Mr. Lan called to Jiang Xue, shifting his body inside to make room. Jiang Xue got in and sat down.

As soon as Jiang Xue was seated, Mr. Lan spoke up: "Jiang Xue, you probably already guessed why I’m here, right?"

"Mr. Lan wants me to go undercover?" Jiang Xue asked calmly.

"That’s right!" Mr. Lan nodded, then said, "You know the situation now. That Jin Hao has been trying to cooperate with your company; I think this is a good opportunity. You said before that you wanted to infiltrate the enemy from the inside to eliminate future threats. Before, I was against it because I felt the timing wasn’t right and you hadn’t received any training."

"But it’s different now. This time he came to you of his own accord; you can go along with it and avoid arousing his suspicion."

After listening to Mr. Lan, Jiang Xue frowned and said, "Mr. Lan, do you know what Jin Hao’s goal is? He doesn’t just want me, he wants my company as well. Under these circumstances, do you think I should agree?"

Mr. Lan had only guessed that Jin Hao was coming for Jiang Xue, and had never imagined that he would be so ambitious.
