Shen Qingchen was a thoughtful person. He had been with Jiang Zhi for many years and was familiar with her every look and every change of mood. During this period, he had clearly noticed something was wrong with Jiang Zhi. The worry that lingered around her like a haze could not escape his eyes, even if she tried to hide it.
He knew Jiang Zhi's worry was growing like weeds in her heart, especially when victory seemed so near. Such moments of worry were often the most torturous, as hope and fear intertwined like two rough sheets of sandpaper, constantly rubbing against her soul. He watched Jiang Zhi often lose her focus, her eyes gazing into the distance, where the future she feared seemed to loom large.
On this day, the sun shone through the window into the room. It should have been a warm and cozy scene, but Jiang Zhi sat alone on the sofa, her brows furrowed, her fingers unconsciously twisting the corners of her clothes. Shen Qingchen walked over quietly, sat down beside her, and reached out to gently cover her hand, which was trembling slightly with nervousness.
"Zhi'er, I know what you are worried about." Shen Qingchen's voice was low and gentle, like a mountain stream, slowly flowing into Jiang Zhi's heart.
Jiang Zhi shuddered slightly, raised her head and looked at him, the worry in her eyes as thick as substance: "Qingchen, I'm really scared. That mysterious organization is like a poisonous snake hiding in the dark. The closer we are to victory, the more afraid I am that it will suddenly counterattack at the last moment and bite us hard. Especially the children, they are my life, I can't let them get hurt." As she spoke, her eyes turned slightly red and tears welled up in her eyes.
Shen Qingchen hugged her in his arms distressedly and patted her back gently: "Don't be afraid, Zhier. I promise you that I will protect you and the children. I have strengthened security measures. You know, our bodyguard team are all carefully selected elites. Each of them has rich experience and outstanding abilities."
He paused and continued, "I've also increased the frequency of patrols. Whether inside or outside the manor, or in places the children frequent, there are dedicated personnel on duty. Furthermore, our security system has been upgraded, with the latest monitoring equipment and alarms installed. If there are any suspicious signs, we will be notified immediately."
Jiang Zhi trembled slightly in his arms, her voice tinged with tears. "But, that mysterious organization is too cunning. They've always been elusive, and we have no idea where they'll come from. What if... what if they break through our defenses? What should we do then?"
Shen Qingchen hugged her tighter, as if to pass on his strength to her: "No, Zhier. We are not unprepared. We have conducted in-depth research on the mysterious organization. We know their modes of action and common methods. Moreover, we have the power of the alliance. We are not facing all this alone."
He let go of Jiang Zhi and looked into her eyes, his gaze firm and confident. "The members of the alliance are also working hard for the final victory. We must cooperate with each other. We have come this far and must not retreat. Only by completely defeating the mysterious organization can we truly live a stable life. We cannot let fear dominate our actions. We must believe in ourselves and the people around us."
Jiang Zhi looked at him, the fear in her eyes seemed to have lessened slightly, but the worry still existed. "I know we can't retreat. But every time I think about the children being in danger, my heart feels like it's being tightly grasped by a big hand. I always think of their innocent smiling faces. If they were hurt, I... I really don't know what to do."
Shen Qingchen held her shoulders and said seriously: "Zhi'er, I understand your feelings. But what we have to do now is to take precautions as much as possible. The safety of the children is our top priority. We have arranged the most reliable bodyguards to protect them. These bodyguards will guard the children 24 hours a day, whether they are going to school, playing or resting, without any slackness."
"Also, we are providing some necessary safety education to the children so that they know how to protect themselves in dangerous situations. We will do everything we can to ensure their safety. At the same time, we must also focus on dealing with the mysterious organization. We cannot let their threats disrupt our progress."
Shen Qingchen stood up and paced around the room, gesturing as he spoke: "We still need to discuss strategy further with the alliance members. We need to make various contingency plans for possible attacks launched by the mysterious organization. If they attack from the front, we have corresponding defense and counterattack measures; if they use sneak attacks or other means, we cannot be caught off guard by them."
He walked back to Jiang Zhi and held her hand again: "Zhi'er, you must believe that justice is on our side. What we are fighting for is to protect our families, our friends, and all those who are persecuted by the mysterious organization. We have enough reasons and strength to defeat them. Don't let worry overwhelm you, let's face it together, okay?"
Jiang Zhi took a deep breath and nodded: "Okay, I understand. I will try my best to adjust my mentality. However, this kind of worry is really hard to control."
Shen Qingchen smiled and gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her fingers: "I know this is difficult, but you are not alone. Let's get through this together. Now, let's focus on preparations. We must let the mysterious organization know that we will not be intimidated by their threats."
In the days that followed, Shen Qingchen was incredibly busy. He personally inspected every detail of the security measures, from the bodyguards' training to the operational status of the security equipment. He held repeated meetings with the head of the bodyguard team, emphasizing that the children's safety was paramount and that any negligence could lead to irreversible consequences.
