Chapter 323: Chapter 115: Take a Look in the Mirror! (Part 2)
Listening to Jiang Heng say this, Jiang Mantian felt deeply guilty. "It’s not your fault. It’s my fault."
Jiang Heng is just an innocent orphan; all of this is orchestrated behind the scenes by Jiang Mantian.
If we really talk about right or wrong, the wrong person is Jiang Mantian, and it has nothing to do with Jiang Heng.
Am I really not at fault?
Jiang Heng gazed upward at the stars and said self-mockingly, "But without the identity of the Young Master of the Jiang Family, what am I considered as? The identity, power, and wealth I pride myself on should originally belong to someone else."
"I even stole the identity of the Jiang Family’s Young Master to do many oppressive things. If I were the real Jiang Heng, he might have become a better man than me."
Shaking his head, Jiang Mantian corrected Jiang Heng, "The identity, power, and wealth, these indeed are things that should belong to little Jiang Heng. But the knowledge and ability you possess are gained through your own efforts."
"Ah Heng, do not underestimate yourself."
But Jiang Heng didn’t believe he was innocent.
Jiang Heng took off his coat and put it on Jiang Mantian.
Looking at his father’s no longer youthful face, Jiang Heng said, "But as soon as I think about the fact that I am not your biological son, I feel like a thief."
Seeing the determined look in Jiang Heng’s eyes, Jiang Mantian’s eyelashes trembled lightly, feeling uneasy. "Jiang Heng, tell Dad, what are you thinking?"
Jiang Heng said, "If I can know the truth, others will know too. This matter will inevitably spread, and by then, you will face condemnation and doubt from the entire Jiang Family. And I won’t meet a good end either."
"Dad," Jiang Heng said, "Everything I have now depends on my identity as the Young Master of the Jiang Family. Only when I achieve success with my own ability can I silence the public."
"What are you going to do?" Jiang Mantian couldn’t understand Jiang Heng’s thoughts anymore.
"I don’t want to be a thief anymore. I also want to openly and with my own ability gain everything." Jiang Heng looked towards the south end of West Continent City and said, "I want to enter Divine Concealment Island."
Enter Divine Concealment Island, and strive to become a pillar beside Captain Huo of the Huo Family!
With the Huo Family as such a powerful ally supporting his career, by then, who among the Jiang family members would dare question him!
Upon hearing this, Jiang Mantian was greatly shocked. "You plan to wade into the troubled waters of the Huo Family?"
Jiang Mantian analyzed solemnly, "I don’t think it’s a good idea. The situation in the Huo Family is unstable and unclear; it is a den of dragons and tigers. A slight mistake could lead to the end of one’s bones!"
"You are taking a risk!"
"Fortune has always accompanied risk," Jiang Heng contemplated. "That sickly person in the Huo Family could pass away anytime; the situation on Divine Concealment Island is chaotic. If I can assist the future Captain Huo to secure his position, I can become a close friend of the Huo Family! This is far more reliable than those who send their daughters to Divine Concealment Island to marry the sickly person there."
Jiang Mantian’s cousins wanted to cling to the Huo Family for power and secretly sent each of their daughters to Divine Concealment Island, planning to marry the sickly person.
Those chosen candidates are now living on Divine Concealment Island, waiting at all times for that sickly person to breathe his last.
But even if one of their daughters is selected and becomes the Lady Yin of the short-lived Huo Wen’an, they can only please Mrs. Huo.
But the real authority in the Huo Family has always belonged to the true Pilot!
Jiang Heng looked down upon those uncles and felt contempt for their selling out of their daughters.
Even someone like Xu Zeqing, when faced with his oppression, knows to resist a little.
Jiang Mantian saw Jiang Heng’s determination and felt conflicting emotions for a moment.
Jiang Mantian patted Jiang Heng’s shoulder and expressed relief, "Indeed a tiger father does not have a dog son."
"Ah Heng, while we may not be blood-related, in my heart, you have long been my family."
"If you truly want to venture into Divine Concealment Island, I will fully support you. Divine Concealment Island is a den of dragons and tigers; if you want to assist the new Pilot in gaining power, you must be the knife that slays demons."
"You can be a dog; you can be a knife, but you must remember never to exterminate the innocent completely. We are businessmen, driven by profit, but I also hope you become a merchant with a bottom line."
"Dad believes in Buddhism, firmly adheres to the cycle of cause and effect. You harmed Xu Xingguang, and then suffered harm from Bai Xuan, proving that no one in this world does wrong and still hopes to remain untouched."
Jiang Mantian is a businessman who values the gains and losses of interests but always has a scale in his heart, weighing right and wrong constantly.
