He chuckled mysteriously and told Xu Xingguang, "Back then, after more than a hundred heirs were kidnapped, the Hundred Great Families joined forces to rescue them, but they only managed to save three or four children."
"And Jiang Heng was one of the survivors who was rescued."
"The other three children were claimed by their parents, but none of the noble families' leaders recognized Jiang Heng, thus he became an orphan without father or mother."
"Later, the Rashomon Sect Leader, in a fit of rage, killed all the heirs. Jiang Mantian suffered the loss of his beloved son, and for various reasons, decided to adopt Jiang Heng, grooming him into the heir of the Jiang Family."
"So, Jiang Heng is not Jiang Mantian's biological son; he is an adopted son. Very few people know about this, apart from the leaders of the Hundred Great Families who participated in the initial rescue; outsiders are completely unaware."
