Her Secrets, His Surrender

Jia He ran the Jia Group. Years before that he had walked out on Li Weixi's older sister. Li Weixi worked as a "hunter" in elite circles, and for this job she made herself into a secretary with nothing behind her, harmless and easy to overlook, and got hired. What she wanted was proof of what he had done to her sister, and his standing taken away from him. He worked out who she was soon after she arrived and said nothing about it. Having her close suited him. He let the small maneuvers pass, sat through the performances, and covered for her when one of her lies needed covering. The two of them spent a long stretch testing each other. She was close to having what she came for when things started going wrong in quick succession and she could not keep up with them. Jia He put himself in the way to protect her, more than once. She noticed her own appetite for revenge going soft, and then a misunderstanding sent her out of his life. After she disappeared, Jia He came apart and let the family holdings go.
