Jiang Zhi stood in her small, shabby rental apartment, gazing out the window at the bustling streets, a mixture of emotions welling up in her heart. Having just endured the devastating blow of divorce, and now facing the difficult situation of raising a child alone and confronting a mysterious organization, her eyes held no sign of retreat, only determination and resolve.
She gently stroked her slightly bulging belly, where two little lives were being nurtured. Twins, a boy and a girl, were supposed to be the fruit of her and Shen Qingchen's love, the continuation of their happy family, but now, everything had changed. Jiang Zhi knew she couldn't put her children in danger and had to make plans for their future.
She decided to name her daughter Jiang Yue, a name that carries her best wishes for her: she hopes her daughter will find joy in her future and remain optimistic no matter what challenges she faces. As for her son, she named him Jiang Yu, implying he will have a broad horizon and ample courage and wisdom to navigate the world of the future.
Jiang Zhi knew full well the formidable and dangerous enemy she faced. The mysterious organization, like an invisible net, enveloped the entire city, its tentacles omnipresent, poised to devour her and those around her at any moment. She knew that if she met with misfortune in the confrontation, her daughter, Jiang Yue, would be left without support. So, she began to carefully plan, contacting a longtime lawyer friend renowned for his integrity and reliability.
On a quiet afternoon, Jiang Zhi met with a lawyer friend. They sat in a secluded corner of a cafe, seemingly cut off from the hustle and bustle of the surroundings. Jiang Zhi solemnly recounted his situation and concerns to his friend, who listened attentively, his eyes filled with sympathy and admiration. When Jiang Zhi suggested making a will, his lawyer friend nodded slightly, expressing his understanding.
The will was detailed and comprehensive. Jiang Zhi entrusted a portion of her assets, including real estate, stocks, and precious jewelry, to a lawyer friend. She explicitly stipulated that in the event of misfortune, these assets would be used to support Jiang Yue's life, education, and future development. She also gave her lawyer friend important clues she had gathered while investigating the mysterious organization, as well as key information that could influence the future. She instructed him to hand over these clues if a trustworthy person could ever find the truth and avenge Tang Junxi and Shen Qingchen's father.
Jiang Zhi, however, took a more discreet approach to protecting her son, Jiang Yu. She found a modest house in a secluded corner of the city. It was located in an older residential area, with a complex environment and a high turnover of people, making it less likely to attract attention. She rented the house and, after careful selection, hired a kind and reliable nanny. The nanny was older, had extensive childcare experience, and, more importantly, her eyes revealed a reassuring simplicity and sincerity.
When Jiang Zhi brought Jiang Yu to their new home, she was overwhelmed with guilt and reluctance. She knew this separation was for his better protection, but as a mother, not being able to be with her child constantly was a heartbreaking pain. She carefully explained to the nanny Jiang Yu's habits, preferences, and any special considerations. From daily feeding times and sleep schedules to his favorite toys and nursery rhymes, Jiang Zhi detailed every detail. The nanny listened attentively, nodding frequently and promising to take good care of Jiang Yu.
The moment she left her son, Jiang Zhi's eyes welled with tears. Fighting back the tears, she gently kissed Jiang Yu's forehead, saying silently, "Baby, I'm sorry. But this is only temporary. I'll do my best to protect you and your sister. When this is over, we'll be reunited." Then, she turned and walked out of the room with determination, each step carrying a weight of a thousand pounds.
After returning to her own residence, Jiang Zhi devoted herself even more fully to investigating the mysterious organization. She knew time was running out; she had to uncover their true identity and completely destroy them before the enemy discovered the child's existence. Drawing on her wisdom and medical expertise, she began researching unique treatments and medications. Late at night, she often pored over ancient medical texts, seeking inspiration from traditional medical wisdom. She also studied various modern medical techniques and knowledge online, combining them to develop critically important medications and treatments.
Throughout this process, Jiang Zhi also focused on improving her combat skills. She rose early each day, greeted the morning sun, and exercised in the park. She practiced martial arts techniques, starting with the most basic punches and kicks, repeatedly practicing each move, constantly improving her physical fitness and combat abilities. She also learned how to use weapons. While she knew violence wasn't the best solution, she needed to be strong enough to protect herself and those around her when facing a vicious enemy.
In addition to personal advancement, Jiang Zhi actively maintained close contact with her allies. Through encrypted communications, they shared gathered information, jointly analyzing the mysterious organization's patterns of action and potential hiding places. Jiang Zhi gradually became a core figure within the alliance, her wisdom and decisive decision-making earning everyone's respect and trust. She often offered unique insights and investigative directions during alliance meetings, charting the path forward.
Yet, amidst these hectic and stressful days, Jiang Zhi still harbored a deep, lingering memory of Shen Qingchen. In the quiet of the night, as she paused from her work and wearily settled into bed, memories of the past would flood back like a tide. She would recall their romantic strolls along the seashore, Shen Qingchen's gentle gaze and affectionate embrace. Those beautiful memories now became the most painful thorn in her heart. On the one hand, she could not forgive Shen Qingchen's betrayal; the pain of abandonment was deeply engraved in her heart. On the other hand, she understood Shen Qingchen's difficulties and knew that he had made such a choice to protect her. These conflicting emotions tormented her, but she knew now was not the time for sentimental indulgences. She must focus all her energy on revenge and protecting her family. She could only bury these longings deep within her heart, letting them become a driving force, not a hindrance.
