The next morning, Jiang Zhi woke up with red, swollen eyes and a pale face. She looked in the mirror, her heart filled with bitterness. She knew she couldn't continue to be depressed. She had to be strong and face the challenges of life.
Jiang Zhi simply washed up, changed her clothes, and left the house. She went to the company and tried to numb her pain with work. However, she found that she couldn't concentrate at all. Shen Qingchen's figure kept appearing in her mind. Her colleagues saw her and asked her what was wrong with her. She could only force a smile and say that she was fine.
At work, Jiang Zhi kept making mistakes, and her boss was somewhat dissatisfied with her. Jiang Zhi knew she couldn't continue like this, so she worked hard to adjust herself and try to devote all her energy to work. However, whenever she had some free time, the pain in her heart would surge back.
Meanwhile, Shen Qingchen was also diligently searching for clues to his father's murder. He knew there must be a huge conspiracy behind this incident, and he had to find the truth as soon as possible to avenge his father and protect Jiang Zhi. He continued to investigate the whereabouts of Jiang Lingchuan and his stepmother Gu Manqi, hoping to find some clues.
As the days passed, Jiang Zhi and Shen Qingchen each struggled through their own pain. Although they lived in the same city, they felt as if they were miles apart. Jiang Zhi's heart was still filled with longing and pain for Shen Qingchen, and she didn't know if she could ever trust him again. Shen Qingchen, on the other hand, was filled with guilt and worry for Jiang Zhi, and he didn't know how to make up for the hurt he had caused her.
However, life is always full of surprises and challenges. One day, Jiang Zhi was on her way home from work when she suddenly encountered a mysterious man. The man was wearing a hat and a mask, so her face couldn't be seen clearly. He stopped Jiang Zhi and said something inexplicable.
"Jiang Zhi, do you think you can escape? Shen Qingchen no longer wants you, you are nothing now." The mysterious man said coldly.
Jiang Zhi was shocked. She didn't know who this person was and why he said such words to her. "Who are you? What do you want to do?" Jiang Zhi asked cautiously.
"It doesn't matter who I am. What's important is that you know that you are in danger now. Shen Qingchen divorced you to protect you, but do you think you will be safe like this? You are too naive!" The mysterious man said with a smile.
Jiang Zhi's heart was filled with doubt and fear. She didn't know whether what this mysterious man said was true or not. "What are you talking about? I don't understand." Jiang Zhi said.
"You don't need to understand, you just need to know that your fate is already determined. If you don't want to die, stay away from Shen Qingchen." After the mysterious man finished speaking, he turned and left.
Jiang Zhi stood there, her heart filled with fear and uneasiness. She didn't know who this mysterious man was, nor did she know whether what he said was true or false. However, she could feel that she seemed to be caught in a huge conspiracy.
After returning home, Jiang Zhi's heart could not calm down for a long time. She thought of the words of the mysterious man and was filled with worry. She didn't know what had happened to Shen Qingchen and why someone said such a thing to her. She decided to find Shen Qingchen to ask clearly, but she didn't know how to face him.
After some thought, Jiang Zhi finally plucked up the courage and called Shen Qingchen. The phone rang for a long time before Shen Qingchen picked it up.
“Hey, Jiang Zhi…” Shen Qingchen’s voice sounded a little tired.
"Chen Qingchen, I met a mysterious man today and he said some strange things to me. He said that you divorced me to protect me and that I was dangerous. What is going on?" Jiang Zhi asked anxiously.
Shen Qingchen was shocked. He didn't expect Jiang Zhi to encounter such a thing. "Jiang Zhi, don't listen to his nonsense. You are safe now. Don't think too much." Shen Qingchen comforted.
"Chen Qingchen, don't lie to me anymore. I know you have your reasons. Tell me what happened and let's face it together, okay?" Jiang Zhi said crying.
Shen Qingchen was silent for a moment. He knew that he could no longer hide it from Jiang Zhi. "Jiang Zhi, my father might have been murdered by Jiang Lingchuan and my stepmother Gu Manqi. I'm investigating this matter now. I'm afraid they will harm you, so I divorced you in the hope of protecting you." Shen Qingchen finally told the truth.
After hearing what Shen Qingchen said, Jiang Zhi was filled with shock and pain. She didn't expect the matter to be so serious, and she finally understood Shen Qingchen's difficulties. "Shen Qingchen, why didn't you tell me earlier? We can find a solution together." Jiang Zhi said.
"Jiang Zhi, this matter is too dangerous. I don't want you to get hurt. Don't worry, I will take care of everything. You just need to take care of yourself now." Shen Qingchen said.
"Chen Qingchen, I don't want you to bear it alone, I want to face it with you. We are husband and wife, no matter what difficulties we encounter, we should bear them together." Jiang Zhi said firmly.
Shen Qingchen was deeply moved after hearing Jiang Zhi's words. He knew that Jiang Zhi really loved him and was willing to face everything with him. "Okay, Jiang Zhi, we will face it together. But you must be careful and don't put yourself in danger." Shen Qingchen said.
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Zhi's heart was filled with courage and determination. She knew that she could no longer be depressed. She wanted to work with Shen Qingchen to find out the truth, avenge her father, and work hard for their future.
