The cage of love

Chapter Three: Conspiracy and misunderstandingUntitled Episode

A few months later, Hao Lei was sitting in her office late at night, her face reflected in the light on the desk. The night of the city is still noisy, but Hao Lei's mood is difficult to calm. Lin's Group suddenly announced a strategic decision to let Hao's group into a huge crisis, and all this seems to be related to Lin Xiao.

Since the cooperation with Lin's group began, Hao Lei and Lin Xiao's relationship gradually approached, but she always maintained a defensive. She knows that Lin Xiao is not an easy person to see through, and there are far-reaching considerations behind every decision he makes. However, when an important contract of Hao's Group was suddenly revoked by Lin's Group, causing Hao's Group to lose heavily in the market, Hao Lei felt an unprecedented sense of betrayal.

It all happened so suddenly and so unacceptable. Hao Lei had thought that after all these days of cooperation and communication, she and Lin Xiao had at least established a basic trust. But now that trust has been torn apart and replaced by anger and disappointment.

"Lin Xiao... What were you thinking?" Hao Lei whispered, her heart was full of confusion and pain.

At this critical moment, she received an urgent call from within the group. It was Secretary Zhang, and his voice was anxious: "Mr. Hao, we have just received news that the Lin Group is secretly entering into a cooperation agreement with our biggest competitor. If this agreement holds, it will be a fatal blow to us."

Hao Lei suddenly stood up, her eyes flashing a cold light. She clutched the phone, her voice cold and firm: "Call a high-level meeting now. We must act now."

After hanging up the phone, Hao Lei's mind is constantly emerging Lin Xiao's face. She did not want to believe that the man who had shown her tenderness would make such a cruel decision, but the reality did not allow her to have the slightest weakness. As the heir of Hao's group, she must stand at the forefront and fight for the interests of the group.

At the same time, Lin Xiao was also in his office, his expression cold and deep. He knew that the Hao Group's reaction would be very strong, but he could not explain that the development of the matter had long been beyond his control. Some senior executives within the Lin Group took the opportunity of his business trip to contact competitors without permission, and entered into this agreement without his knowledge. Although he has taken remedial measures, the matter is irreparable.

Lin Xiao knows that Hao Lei's trust in him is already at stake, and once this trust is broken, they will become more antagonistic. He rubbed his temples and felt tired. During this time, he has been dealing with internal contradictions and external pressures of the group, with hardly a moment's rest. He wished he could explain it to Hao Lei in person, but he knew it was too late.

At a high-level meeting of Hao's Group, Hao Lei decisively announced a series of response measures. Her every decision is full of decisiveness and ruthlessness, mercilessly launched a counterattack against the Lin Group. She understood that in business, emotion is never something to be relied upon, and only cold reality is the eternal law.

After the meeting, Hao Lei walked out of the meeting room and met the Zhao lawyer who came to find her. Lawyer Zhao is her old friend, is also the legal adviser of Hao Group, he has been quietly supporting Hao Lei.

"Mr. Hao, are you okay?" Lawyer Zhao asked with concern.

Hao Lei smiled reluctantly and nodded, "Nothing, I'm fine." It's just been a little hectic lately."

Lawyer Zhao looked at her with a hint of mixed emotions in his eyes. He knew that Hao Lei seemed strong on the surface, but only she knew the fragility and pain deep inside.

"Lin Xiao... Did he really do it?" Lawyer Zhao asked cautiously.

Hao Lei was silent for a moment, with a hint of pain in her eyes: "I don't know, maybe it is. In any case, I can no longer trust him."

Zhao lawyer nodded, understand at this time said nothing can change the decision of Hao Lei. He tapped her on the shoulder and whispered, "No matter what happens, I'll always be on your side."

Hao Lei's heart warmed, she gratefully looked at lawyer Zhao one glance, softly said: "Thank you, lawyer Zhao."

However, at the very moment that Hao Lei decided to completely break off relations with Lin Xiao, an unexpected thing happened. A key figure in the Lin group suddenly appeared at her office door: Su Yao, Lin Xiao's secretary. The woman who had been following Lin Xiao at the moment looked flustered and seemed particularly uneasy.

"Mr. Hao, I have something important to tell you." There was a noticeable tension in Su Yao's voice.

Hao Lei looked at her coldly, with undisguised hostility in her voice: "Secretary Su, what's the matter?"

Su Yao took a deep breath and then put a folder in front of Hao Lei: "There are some things you need to know, I think you will understand everything after reading it."

Hao Lei looked at her suspiciously and opened the document. As pages of content appeared in front of her eyes, Hao Lei's face became more and more pale, and the documents in her hands trembled involuntarily. The documents detail the power struggle within Lin's group and the truth of how Lin Xiao was framed. Even more shocking to her is that Su Yao and Li total turned out to be the mastermind of the whole conspiracy, they united, trying to destroy the cooperation between Lin Xiao and Hao Lei, to achieve the purpose of controlling Lin's group.

"This is... It's impossible..." Hao Lei's voice was weak and trembling, she could not believe that her misunderstanding had been so ridiculous.

Su Yao lowered her eyes, her voice with a hint of remorse: "Hao, I was forced to reveal all this." Lin Xiao has not betrayed you. He has always tried his best to protect you and your family."

Hao Lei brain is a mess, she can not believe that he misunderstood Lin Xiao, and this misunderstanding led to the breakdown of feelings between them. She could not help but recall Lin Xiao's various concerns and efforts for her, and those actions that she regarded as conspiracies were now so sincere in her eyes.

"Lin Xiao... Where is he now?" Hao Lei suddenly looked up and asked eagerly.

Su Yao took a moment and then said, "He... He's been trying to fix it. He knew you wouldn't believe him anymore, so he chose to suffer in silence."

Hao Lei's heart seemed to be hit hard, she suddenly stood up, grabbed her coat and went out: "I want to see him."

Su Yao shouted anxiously behind her: "General Hao, please calm down, Lin Xiao has decided to let go of everything, he doesn't want you to get hurt again!"

But Hao Lei's footsteps did not stop, her eyes full of firm and regret. She knew she had to find Lin Xiao immediately, apologize to him, and tell him that she had never stopped loving him.
