Chương 129: Subtle Sabotage

Xiao Zheng stood in his office within the Xiao family estate, his gaze fixed on the courtyard below. The estate had been a monument to the Xiao family's power for generations, but now, it was beginning to show cracks, slowly and carefully orchestrated by him. The power that once radiated from this place was slipping away, and none of the family members suspected that the cause was standing among them.

The early morning light filtered through the windows, but the warmth of the sun did little to soften Xiao Zheng's expression. His mind was occupied with the next step in the quiet sabotage he had been orchestrating over the past few months. Since his return, everything had changed. He had been patient, working under the guise of loyalty, biding his time while sowing the seeds of the Xiao family's downfall.
