She kept asking herself in her heart, is it true that love and revenge cannot exist at the same time?
Can she find true love while pursuing revenge?
She remembered the stories she had read before. The protagonists in the stories had also faced similar choices. Some gave up everything for love, while others lost love because of hatred.
She didn't want to be either of them, she wanted to find a way to balance the two, but that way seemed out of reach.
Her phone suddenly vibrated. It was a text message from Shen Qingchen.
The content of the text message was simple, just asking how her day was.
Looking at this text message, Jiang Zhi's heart was moved again.
She knew that Shen Qingchen had always cared about her silently, and no matter how she treated his feelings, he had never complained at all.
This kind of unrequited love makes it even more difficult for her to make a decision.
She wanted to reply to the text message, but her finger stayed on the screen for a long time, not knowing what to type.
She remembered her dreams. When Tang Junxi was still alive, they had talked about their future life together.
At that time, her heart was full of yearning for a better life. She wanted to have a happy family and a successful career.
But now, all this has become out of reach because of Tang Junxi's death.
She didn’t know if she was still qualified to pursue happiness and accept Shen Qingchen’s love.
She felt as if she was shrouded in the shadow of the past and unable to break free.
Time passed by minute by minute as she struggled, the night grew deeper and deeper, but her heart was still wandering in the darkness.
She knew that this decision not only affected her own happiness, but also the fate of many people.
She must think carefully and not make the wrong decision on impulse.
But this long inner struggle made her feel exhausted, and she longed to find an answer, an answer that could bring her inner relief.
She began to recall every detail of her time with Shen Qingchen, trying to find some inspiration from these details.
She remembered that once, she encountered danger while searching for clues. A group of mysterious people suddenly appeared and wanted to harm her.
Just when she felt desperate, Shen Qingchen appeared.
Like a hero, he fought those mysterious men fearlessly to protect her safety.
At that moment, she saw Shen Qingchen’s courage and determination, and also felt his deep affection for herself.
She knew that this man was worthy of her love.
However, the flame of revenge still burned in her heart.
She recalled the clues related to Tang Junxi, those clues that she had found with great difficulty.
She knew that she was getting closer and closer to the truth.
If she was swayed by her emotions at this time, she might lose the best opportunity to avenge Tang Junxi.
She couldn't let Tang Junxi's death be meaningless, she had to make sure the murderers received the punishment they deserved.
Her heart was like a battlefield, where the two armies of love and revenge were constantly fighting.
Her reason told her that revenge was a mission she had to complete; but her emotions told her about Shen Qingchen's goodness, making it difficult for her to let go.
She felt like she was about to be torn in two by this struggle, and her body and mind were in great pain.
She stood up again and walked to the mirror. Her eyes were filled with fatigue and confusion.
She looked into her own eyes, as if trying to find the answer from her own eyes.
There were faint traces of tears on her face, tears that she shed unconsciously during her inner struggle.
She reached out and gently stroked her face, trying to give herself some comfort.
She said to herself silently in her heart: “Jiang Zhi, you have to be strong. You can’t be defeated by this contradictory emotion. You have to find a way to avenge Tang Junxi and be with Shen Qingchen at the same time.”
She knew it was a very difficult task, but she was willing to try.
She decided to put her feelings aside and focus on finding the truth about Tang Junxi's murder.
Only when she completes her mission of revenge will she be able to accept Shen Qingchen's feelings without any guilt.
She sat back on the sofa, picked up her notebook, and began to organize the clues related to Tang Junxi's murder.
Her eyes became firm, and although the inner struggle still existed, she had made a preliminary decision.
She wants to be an avenger first, and a lover second.
She believed that Shen Qingchen would understand her choice and would always wait for her.
She wrote down some new ideas and plans in her notebook. Her hands stopped shaking and her handwriting became clear and powerful.
She knew that the road ahead was still full of hardships and dangers, but she was ready.
She will continue on the path of revenge until she gets justice for Tang Junxi.
And her feelings for Shen Qingchen are like a seed buried deep in her heart. She hopes that after her revenge is successful, this seed will thrive and bloom into a beautiful flower.
However, she also knew that this decision would not be easy to stick to.
In the days to come, she will face more challenges and temptations.
But she believes in her willpower and she believes that she can overcome all difficulties.
She looked at the sky outside the window gradually brightening. A new day was about to begin, and she would embark on the journey of finding the truth again with this firm belief.
