The vicious female supporting role is posted in the opposite direction by the cub

"Does Mom mean that Jiang Ke and the Second Elder are on the same side?"

"At least, during her time in the Jiang family, she was extremely close to the Second Elder."

"Returning to China would affect their interests?"

Jiang Yu shook her head: "It's not just their interests that will be affected; the interests of the entire Jiang family will be impacted."

Yan Yueqing frowned: "Then why did Grandma..."

“Every choice the patriarch makes is based on the development of the past few decades and the future situation…” Jiang Yu explained, “Just like a hundred years ago, many people didn’t understand why the Jiang family had to leave China. But as it turns out, that patriarch’s decision was absolutely correct! Now, many people in the family don’t understand why I have to bring the Jiang family back to China.”

Sacrificing some interests and changing the direction of the entire family's trajectory is bound to cause discontent.

Over the past century, the Jiang family has developed rapidly overseas, and most of those who have joined the Jiang family are from Western countries.

Returning to China is probably not just a simple matter of conflicting interests...

The situation and political struggles between countries are the biggest obstacles.

Yan Yueqing understood: "So, when Mom chose to marry Dad from China, even though Dad came to the Jiang family for love, to them, it was all irrefutable proof that the Jiang family wanted to lean towards China?"

“Not bad.” Jiang Yu reached out and touched her daughter’s little face. “And my arrangement for you to grow up in China until you are ten years old, they all thought I was crazy.”

Yan Yueqing gently stroked the warm cup with her fingertips, finally understanding Jiang Ke's actions.

Yes, Jiang Ke is indeed qualified to succeed as the head of the family.

However, Jiang Ke did not agree with the contents of the secret letter! It is even possible that it had already been informed to the Second Elder's faction.

Jiang Yu might be able to rely on Jiang Ke to manage the Jiang family in other places, but in this matter, once the two have a conflict, even if Jiang Yu has already given up the position of family head to Jiang Ke, she will definitely try her best to take it back.

Even if Jiang Yu were to die unexpectedly in the conflict between the two factions, there would still be Yan Yueqing (Jiang Xiaoxing).

Yan Yueqing was Jiang Yu's only daughter. If there were people in the family who supported returning to China, then even if she didn't want to be the head of the family, she would be forced into it.

This is the real reason why Jiang Ke went to such lengths.

Yan Yueqing sighed: "So... from the explosion onwards... everything was their doing?"

Jiang Yu's voice was filled with suppressed anger, "Their reach extends further than we imagined. During the time Su Zihu was here, we reviewed a lot of things and found that many clues seemed to point to the external force S organization, but they were also subtly involved in the abnormal mobilization of resources within the family."

"Furthermore, Jiang Ke—her disappearance is probably not as simple as we think! As soon as she left, your soul was swapped, and Su Zihu went to find you... Xiaoxing, Zihu only stayed by my side for half a year, but the help he provided during that time was more than the sum of the previous ten years combined."

Jiang Yu said slowly, "They were afraid." That's why they went to great lengths to go to China and attack her.

At that time, the Jiang family had not yet begun to relocate to China. Their influence overseas was immense, but if they were to go to China, a country with strict rules and regulations, it would inevitably attract their attention.

They would rather expose themselves than let Yueqing go; one can imagine the impact Jiang Yu's sudden rise to power with Su Zihu's help had on them.

Yan Yueqing thought of something: "I remember you said that Jiang Ke lost contact during a North China Sea exploration mission?"

"Yes, five years ago, in the core waters of the North Sea controlled by the Lowell family!"

Jiang Yu stood up and quickly walked to a huge holographic projection wall.

With a tap of the fingertip, an electronic nautical chart covered with complex markings and trajectory lines unfolds instantly, with one area of ​​the sea prominently marked in red.

"The official record states that the exploration vessel lost contact due to an extreme storm. But as you know, every single one of the Jiang family's exploration vessels is equipped with the most advanced disaster avoidance systems and positioning devices. The 'Sky Net' system's monitoring records in that area have been completely erased! This is definitely not an accident!"

Jiang Ming added in a deep voice, his tone grave: "More importantly, when Jiang Ke disappeared, he took half of the family head's seal with him!"

"Half a family head's seal?" Yan Yueqing frowned slightly. "I remember that only a complete family head's seal can mobilize the 'Shadow Guards'?"

"Yes. A complete seal is the highest credential for mobilizing all shadow guards."

Jiang Yu walked back to the sofa and sat down, leaning forward with her hands folded on her knees, her eyes sharp as knives. "But that half seal... also has great hidden dangers. Xiao Xing, you must know that the Jiang family's 'Shadow Guards' are not a monolithic entity. They have passed down their traditions through generations, with an ancient heritage, and among them is an extremely special force—'Cultivators'."

"This force, though small in number, is extremely terrifying. From childhood, they undergo the most rigorous and brutal training, fed with secret and unorthodox Taoist arts to unleash their extraordinary potential. Legend has it that one of them can withstand an army of thousands! But they only recognize seals, not people!"

"To be more precise, they only recognize the specific energy fluctuations and command runes contained in the patriarch's seal. As long as Jiang Ke has that half of the seal in hand and can mimic the correct energy fluctuations and commands, he can mobilize this group of 'cultivators'!"

Yan Yueqing's eyes turned completely cold: "Jiang Ke deliberately created a 'disappearance' to escape the family's sight with that half of the seal? In this way, she can use that half of the seal to do many things that are strictly forbidden within the family?"

“Very likely!” Jiang Yu nodded heavily, her eyes filled with deep worry. “Within the family, she is supervised by the elders' council, monitored by the ‘Tianluo’ system, and kept in check by me. Her actions are constantly hampered. Once she leaves the family, the world is her oyster, and with this half-seal as her trump card… there are so many things she can do! Collude with external forces, cultivate a private army, collect forbidden resources, and even…”

Jiang Yu took a deep breath and said, word by word, "...Even more terrifying is the attempt to reverse-analyze, interfere with, and ultimately control the entire 'Tianluo' defense system using the authority of that half-seal! 'Tianluo' is an extremely important barrier for our Jiang family. Once it is breached or tampered with from the outside..."

Yan Yueqing gasped in shock; the consequences were extremely serious.

Seeing her worried expression, Jiang Yu took her hand and said, "There's no need to be too anxious. In the past five years, I have taken back most of the power in the Jiang family. It's more than enough to protect you and my two good grandsons."

"Mom, I understand."

Jiang Yu said, "I've retrieved all the information and placed it in your room. You can slowly study the electronic version, and you should finish reading the paper documents as soon as possible so you're well-informed. In a week, I will officially announce your return to the public, at which time—" (End of Chapter)
