Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s Chapter 2648 - 2584: Eliminating the Cancer

This location is within their territory in State D.

First, there was the Cheng Cheng incident, and now this matter concerning Xiao Sixth. The opposing party is brazenly encroaching upon their domain, stomping on their authority.

"Cough, cough."

Old Master Jiang suddenly erupted into a fit of coughing. His anger had evidently taken a toll on his heart.

Xiao Sixth had only been back for a few days, and the adversary couldn't wait any longer. What further machinations awaited them?

"Grandfather, please don't fret. It's my turn to act now. Since they are in such a rush, I cannot possibly disappoint them. Let's prepare a grand gift for them."

"Xiao Sixth, what are your intentions?"

"Didn't Grandfather express his trust in me? Then please set your mind at ease and leave this matter to me."

Old Master Jiang let out a sigh before responding, "Very well, I trust you are not entirely unprepared. However, the most crucial matter now is that I must assign more individuals to assist you, and they will not be from the Jiang Family."

With only two bodyguards remaining at his side, along with Sun Han, Old Master Jiang was far from reassured.

Jiang Shiheng was taken aback. "Grandfather, you have a secret team?"

"Did you truly believe I would stake all my ultimate arrangements solely within the Jiang Family?" Old Master Jiang countered. "Over the years, I have been discreetly seeking suitable candidates elsewhere, assembling a team. They typically remain unseen and do not associate with the Jiang Family. Their existence is known only to me, and I personally handle all their affairs, even their remuneration is paid by me directly."

Jiang Shiheng regarded him, anticipating his next words.

"I began this endeavor after you encountered difficulties. It was precisely due to your past predicament that I started exercising extreme caution. Now, I entrust them to you; these individuals will be under your sole command."

As Old Master Jiang spoke, he removed a vibrant green Jade Ring from his finger and presented it to Jiang Shiheng. He continued in a low voice, "They recognize this token. Behind this ring is the character 'Man', and you know your grandmother's nickname contained the word 'Man'. She ceased using that moniker after she grew up, so now, besides you and me, no one else is aware of this. You should keep it."

"Grandfather, then you..."

No longer requiring these people?

Jiang Shiheng understood that this was Old Master Jiang's ultimate trump card. Yet, by bestowing it upon him, the Old Master would seemingly be left without his most powerful resource.

Old Master Jiang let out a soft chuckle.

He gazed at Jiang Shiheng and declared, "Xiao Sixth, is not everything I possess ultimately yours? It was all prepared for you from the start and destined to be passed down to you. In the past, I believed we had to keep everyone within the Jiang Family together, pulling them all along without leaving anyone behind. But I have come to realize my error; even fingers have different lengths. If there is a malignant growth within the body, it must be surgically removed. Therefore, from this moment forward, do as you see fit. Grandfather will always stand by your side. Do not concern yourself with me."

He paused, his gaze drifting into the distance, and added, "We must rally those who are truly aligned with the Jiang Family, those who are genuine kin."

"Grandfather, I understand."

Jiang Shiheng grasped that Old Master Jiang's final counsel was an admonition against contemplating the complete annihilation of the Jiang Family.

The Jiang Family harbored a malignancy; it was imperative to excise that specific affliction, not to obliterate the entire family.

The family unit remained fundamentally important.

Jiang Shiheng fully comprehended this crucial point.
