Atop the war-torn ruins, Jiang Zhi and Shen Qingchen stood facing each other, their surroundings filled with the pungent smell of gunpowder. The shattered walls and ruins bore witness to the thrilling life-or-death struggle that had just unfolded. The demise of the mysterious organization, like the calm after a storm, stirred up a turbulent wave in the hearts of both.
Shen Qingchen's gaze was fixed on Jiang Zhi, a complex mixture of exhaustion and relief in his eyes. He looked a little disheveled, his clothes ragged, his hair tangled against his face, but his innate aura of sternness remained undiminished. Jiang Zhi was equally disheveled, yet exuded a resilient spirit. She held her twin daughters tightly in her arms. The little one was frightened and pale, but she buried her head in her mother's arms, saying nothing.
“Jiang Zhi…” Shen Qingchen’s voice was hoarse and dry, breaking the solemn silence, “For so many years, we have been groping in the dark, and now, the truth can finally be revealed to the world.”
Jiang Zhi raised her head slightly and looked at Shen Qingchen, tears flashing in her eyes, but she tried hard not to let the tears fall, "Yes, we have waited too long for this moment." Her voice trembled slightly, and memories came flooding back like a tide.
Once, filled with grief, indignation, and hatred, she resolutely embarked on a path of revenge. Tang Junxi's death, like a nightmare, haunted her. During the long and arduous investigation, she encountered countless dangers and setbacks, nearly losing her life each time, but she never gave up. Shen Qingchen, upon learning that his father might have been murdered, also fell into pain and struggle. Although his decision hurt Jiang Zhi, it was also driven by helplessness and a desire to protect her.
Now, looking at Shen Qingchen in front of her, Jiang Zhi felt mixed emotions. She knew very well that they had paid too much along the way.
"Did you know?" Jiang Zhi spoke slowly, a look of determination in his eyes. "During the investigation, I discovered many shocking secrets. It turns out that this mysterious organization has been secretly plotting in the business and political circles for many years. They vainly attempt to control the entire world by manipulating various forces. Your father and the Tang Junxi family are both victims of their grand plan."
Shen Qingchen clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white, and his face showed an expression of anger and pain, "They are so hateful! For their own selfish desires, they did whatever it took to harm so many innocent people."
Jiang Zhi gently patted his daughter's back, comforting her, and continued, "This organization involves many high-ranking figures, who collude with each other to form a complex network of interests. This is why I always encounter numerous obstacles during my investigations, and even nearly lose my life many times. However, I always believe that justice may be late, but it will never be absent."
Shen Qingchen looked at Jiang Zhi, her heart full of admiration and pity. "You are really brave, Jiang Zhi. In such a difficult situation, you can still persevere. If it were me, I might not be able to do it."
Jiang Zhi shook his head slightly. "No, you too. In order to protect me, you faced danger alone and took on so much pressure. Although we had misunderstandings in the past, I know that your heart is always with me."
At this moment, the daughter in her arms raised her head, blinked her big watery eyes, looked at Jiang Zhi and Shen Qingchen, and asked in a baby voice: "Mom, Dad, have the bad guys been defeated? Can we live happily from now on?"
Jiang Zhi looked at her daughter's adorable appearance, and a pang of sadness welled up in her heart. She gently stroked her daughter's hair and said softly, "Yes, baby, the bad guys have been defeated. We will always be together and live happily in the future."
Shen Qingchen squatted down and looked at his daughter, a long-lost smile appeared on his face, “Baby, Dad will protect you and Mom well in the future.”
The daughter stretched out her little hand and touched Shen Qingchen’s face, “Dad, I believe you.”
This heartwarming scene brought a surge of warmth to the hearts of Jiang Zhi and Shen Qingchen. However, Jiang Zhi knew that there was another secret that she had to tell Shen Qingchen.
She took a deep breath and said slowly: "Qingchen, actually...we have another son."
Shen Qingchen's eyes widened, his face full of shock and surprise, "What? We have another son? Why didn't you tell me?"
Jiang Zhi's eyes flashed with guilt. "Back then, I faced so many dangers alone. I didn't know if I could protect the two children. I thought, at least let my daughter be with you, so she can have someone to rely on. So, I chose to hide the existence of my son."
Shen Qingchen stood up and hugged Jiang Zhi and her daughter in her arms, "Silly, why do you have to bear so much alone? No matter how many difficulties there are, we should face them together."
Jiang Zhi leaned in Shen Qingchen's arms, tears finally bursting out of her eyes, "I just don't want you and the child to be in greater danger. I thought I could handle everything on my own."
Shen Qingchen hugged Jiang Zhi tightly, as if to integrate her into her body, "Don't have such thoughts again in the future. We are a family, no matter what happens, we must bear it together."
At that moment, Jiang Zhi felt a long-lost sense of security and warmth. The pain, hatred, and misunderstandings that had accumulated in her heart for years melted away in that moment. She knew they could finally let go of the past and embrace a new life.
In the days that followed, Jiang Zhi and Shen Qingchen returned to their former home with their twins. Everything was familiar, yet with a touch of strangeness. They began to reorganize their lives, burying the painful memories deep in their hearts and filling the future with love and hope.
