Chapter 668 Exposed in Front of Everyone

• “Jiang Huang, what the hell do you mean by that?” Peng Yilin wasn’t about to let her wreck his perfect scheme. He stepped out at once, facing her head-on. “Brother Yilin, if I’m not mistaken, you’re the one who sponsored my dear sister’s overseas tuition, right?” Jiang Huang looked at him, eyes cool and far too mature for her age. She didn’t wait for his answer. She lowered her eyes, gave a bitter little laugh, then turned to Sheng Guilong. “Uncle Sheng, back then, Uncle Wan died saving my father. You know that. After that, you told my dad you’d take good care of Wanli, didn’t you?” “Why bring up ancient history?!” Sheng Guilong couldn’t guess her angle, and panic slid under his skin. His face went visibly pale. “You said you’d take care of him. Now he’s dead, and you don’t even flinch.” As Jiang Huang spoke, she slid the portrait into the empty slot in the shrine. Before Sheng Guilong could jump in to scold her, she pinned him with a sudden, blazing stare— “You flip-flop and cozy up to whoever’s in power. Is that because the person who exposed the location of the 990 Special Ops Team was… you?” Her tone sounded casual, almost mild. But what she said hit like a grenade. The cave erupted. “You—you…” Sheng Guilong’s face flooded scarlet in an instant. He locked up so hard he couldn’t even form a word. A secret he’d buried for years—dragged out by a girl right in front of everyone. “Jiang Huang, what exactly are you trying to pull?!” Watching a still-useful elder get shredded and teeter on the brink of collapse, Peng Yilin snapped. He lunged forward, grabbed her arm, and snarled the question. “What? You want in on this too? Fine. Since everyone’s here, let’s lay it all out.” Jiang Huang went all-in, no turning back, and started spilling Peng Yilin’s “glorious deeds” these last few years—peddling intel, raking in cash hand over fist. Now it wasn’t just Sheng Guilong who was panicking. In a rush, Peng Yilin reached to clamp her mouth shut. Someone yanked him off— “Let her talk! We’d love to hear how much you’ve scammed us all, using public power for private gain!” With that backing, the knot in Jiang Huang’s chest loosened just a bit. Before coming here, she’d imagined every possible outcome, most of them bad. What if no one believed her? What if they kicked her out of the clan? Thank God the work she’d put in these past days hadn’t been for nothing. She finally tore the mask off the clan’s rotten worms in front of everyone—just like her father had wanted more than anything before he died. “Don’t believe a word she says!” Just when she thought she had it under control, a sharp voice cracked across the cave from the entrance. Everyone turned toward the sound: Jiang Ying, in a blazing red power suit, hair pulled tight and high. From a distance, she looked every inch the crisp, capable boss. “What are you doing here?” Jiang Huang asked coolly, unimpressed. Jiang Ying had spent not even ten minutes at her father’s memorial. Now, seeing the clan leader’s seat slipping away, she popped up out of nowhere. Pathetic. “What? If big sis can show up, little sis can’t?” Jiang Ying’s clear voice flooded the cave. On any normal day, it might’ve been pleasant. But right now, the cave was suffocatingly quiet. Her voice rolling out felt like a summons from death itself, sending a chill down everyone’s spine. “If little sis is so keen on the clan leader post, she should set an example. Spending all day with people who can’t show their faces? That’ll trash your reputation fast.” Jiang Huang’s smile was all razor-edge mockery. She knew Peng Yilin and Jiang Ying were thick as thieves in private. They’d already planned to use every trick they had to win the clan’s trust—then squeeze everyone for more value. She hadn’t called them out before because Jiang Ying still carried the family’s honor on her head. She couldn’t let her father’s name get stained right as he stepped down. But reality is brutal. The moment her father passed, these two couldn’t wait to bare their fangs. Better to cut them off now, before the scandal breaks and people whisper behind their backs—better to sacrifice kin for the greater good.
