Jiang Zhi stood quietly in her grandfather Jiang Yan's study, sunlight streaming through the window, casting a soft halo over her. She wore a simple yet elegant white dress, her long hair cascading down her shoulders, exuding an extraordinary presence. Her clear eyes revealed a firmness and resolve, as if hiding endless stories.
Grandpa Jiang Yan sat behind his desk, his face solemn. Time had left deep marks on his features, but his majestic aura remained. He looked at his granddaughter, whose fate had been tragic since childhood, with a heart full of pity. The study was filled with the aroma of old books and ink. The bookshelves were filled with various ancient books and precious documents, as if telling the glorious history of the family.
"Zhi'er, have you really decided?" Jiang Yan's voice was low and powerful, echoing in the quiet study.
Jiang Zhi nodded slightly, tears glistening in her eyes, reflecting both painful memories of the past and a resolute resolve for the future. "Grandpa, I can't let Junxi's death go like this. I must find the murderer and avenge him." Her voice was soft but powerful.
Jiang Yan sighed, a sigh filled with helplessness and worry. "Well, since you've made up your mind, Grandpa won't stop you. But you must remember, no matter what difficulties you encounter, you must protect yourself." He stood up, walked over to Jiang Zhi, and patted her shoulder gently.
Jiang Zhi held her grandfather's hand tightly, feeling the warmth and strength of his palm. "Don't worry, Grandpa, I will be careful." Her eyes were full of confidence and courage.
Memories flooded back, and Jiang Zhi recalled the wonderful times she had spent with Tang Junxi. They'd run and play in the countryside, catching fish and shrimp by the creek. Back then, they were carefree, filled with childlike innocence and joy. However, all of this was shattered by a sudden disaster. Tang Junxi was murdered, and Jiang Zhi's world collapsed. She vowed to avenge Junxi and bring the murderer to justice.
Jiang Zhi was born into a complex family background. Originally the daughter of the leader of the East Kingdom, she was abducted by Jiang Lingchuan and sent to foster care in the countryside. Despite the hardships of her rural life, she developed a strong and kind character. Later, she was secretly adopted by her grandfather, Jiang Yan, and became the heiress to the Jiang Group, the leading chaebol in the Dragon Kingdom. His grandfather doted on her and provided her with the best education and training. Jiang Zhi lived up to his grandfather's expectations. Intelligent and skilled in medicine, she not only achieved excellent academic results but also helped countless others through her medical skills.
Tang Junxi was Jiang Zhi's playmate from their childhood in the countryside. They grew up together and developed a deep bond. Tang Junxi was incredibly affectionate towards Jiang Zhi, always there for her when she needed him, offering support and encouragement. They had endured many difficult times together, as well as shared many joys. However, fate proved cruel to them, and Tang Junxi was murdered, leaving Jiang Zhi filled with pain and anger.
Grandpa Jiang Yan knew Jiang Zhi's character well. He knew that once Jiang Zhi made a decision, it would be difficult to change it. Although he was worried about Jiang Zhi's safety, he also respected her choice. He decided to silently support Jiang Zhi from behind and provide her with the necessary help and protection.
"Zhi'er, where do you plan to start your investigation?" Jiang Yan asked.
Jiang Zhi pondered for a moment and said, "I want to go to the place where Junxi used to live and see if I can find some clues."
Jiang Yan nodded and said, "Okay, you have to be careful. If you encounter any difficulties, be sure to contact Grandpa in time."
Jiang Zhi once again held his grandfather's hand tightly and said, "Grandpa, I will. You should take care of yourself too."
After saying this, Jiang Zhi turned and left the study. She returned to her room and began packing. She simply packed some clothes and daily necessities, then placed her medical tools and some self-defense weapons in her backpack. She knew she was about to embark on a dangerous journey, but she was not afraid.
Jiang Zhi came to her grandfather with a simple bag on her back. Her grandfather looked at her with eyes full of reluctance and worry.
"Zhi'er, be sure to be safe. Grandpa will wait for you to come back." Jiang Yan said.
Jiang Zhi nodded and said, "Grandpa, don't worry. I will definitely come back safely."
After saying this, Jiang Zhi turned and left home. She embarked on her journey to the city, her heart filled with firm belief and determination.
Along the way, Jiang Zhi's mind raced. She recalled every detail of her time with Tang Junxi, the vows and promises they had made. She knew she couldn't let Junxi's death be in vain; she had to find the murderer and avenge him.
Finally, Jiang Zhi arrived in the bustling city. The city, with its tall buildings and bustling traffic, was a stark contrast to the rural village she'd once lived in. As she watched the hustle and bustle of people, a strange sense of loneliness welled up within her. But she knew she couldn't retreat. She had to find clues to Tang Junxi's murder and seek justice for him.
Jiang Zhi took a deep breath, took a firm step, and blended into the crowd. She began asking around for information about Tang Junxi, leaving no clues unanswered. She visited places where Tang Junxi had worked and questioned his colleagues and friends; she visited places Tang Junxi had been, searching for any traces he had left. However, her investigation was not going smoothly. No one knew the specific circumstances of Tang Junxi's murder, and no one could provide any useful clues.
Jiang Zhi was very frustrated, but she didn't give up. She knew that her investigation had just begun and there was still a long way to go. She decided to continue looking for clues and not miss any possible opportunities.
During her investigation, Jiang Zhi met a young man named Lin Yu, a private investigator who sympathized with her and decided to help her uncover the truth behind Tang Junxi's murder. Lin Yu was tall and handsome, his eyes revealing a resolute and confident gaze. With his extensive detective experience and keen insight, he quickly became Jiang Zhi's right-hand man.
With Lin Yu's help, Jiang Zhi's investigation progressed more smoothly. Together, they analyzed clues, searched for evidence, and gradually approached the edge of the truth. However, they also realized that their investigation had attracted the attention of the enemy. They had to be more cautious to continue the investigation.
Jiang Zhi knew her path to revenge was fraught with difficulties and obstacles, but she remained undaunted. She believed that as long as she persevered, she would be able to find the murderer and avenge Tang Junxi. Together with Lin Yu, she continued her journey to uncover the truth.
