Jiang Zhi knew that she alone could not resist the joint persecution of Jiang Yao and the mysterious organization. So, she resolutely embarked on a journey to find allies, traveling to every corner of the city, looking for those whose families were also persecuted by Jiang Lingchuan.
Jiang Zhi first visited an old library. The air was filled with the distinct scent of paper and ink, and towering bookshelves stood like silent giants. She carefully searched the historical materials section, hoping to find any clues about the family persecuted by Jiang Lingchuan. Those dusty books carried stories from the past. Jiang Zhi's fingers gently slid across the pages, her eyes focused and determined. She consulted family genealogies and local county annals, finally discovering several possible families.
After leaving the library, Jiang Zhi followed the clues and found an abandoned factory. The walls of the factory were covered with mottled rust, the window glass was shattered, and the wind whistled past, as if telling the story of the past prosperity and the current decline. Jiang Zhi walked into the factory cautiously. The inside was filled with a pungent smell of decay and engine oil. In the corner of the factory, she found some dilapidated equipment and documents, which vaguely mentioned some of Jiang Lingchuan's illegal activities and the names of the families he persecuted. Jiang Zhi was delighted and continued to explore deeper. At the entrance of a hidden basement, she heard a faint human voice.
Following the sound, Jiang Zhi walked into the basement. The basement was dark and damp, with flickering lights. There, she met her first possible ally - Lin Yu, a descendant of the Lin family. Lin Yu was thin, but his eyes were tough. When he saw Jiang Zhi, his eyes were full of vigilance. Jiang Zhi stated his purpose and told about his own experience and Jiang Lingchuan's crimes. Lin Yu listened quietly, and the hatred in his heart was slowly ignited. He told Jiang Zhi how the Lin family was framed by Jiang Lingchuan, the family business went bankrupt, and relatives were separated. Jiang Zhi empathized with him. She looked at Lin Yu with sincere eyes and said, "We are all victims. Only by uniting can we fight this demon." Lin Yu pondered for a moment, finally nodded, and decided to join Jiang Zhi's camp.
With Lin Yu's involvement, Jiang Zhi gained new leads. They arrived at an old manor on the edge of the city. The manor's gates were closed, and the area was overgrown with weeds. Jiang Zhi and Lin Yu pushed open the heavy door, which creaked harshly. The manor's architecture was simple and elegant, but now it looked dilapidated. In the manor's main house, they met Su Yao. Su Yao, the sole survivor of the Su family, was dressed in black and had a stern expression. She was skeptical about the arrival of Jiang Zhi and Lin Yu. Jiang Zhi explained his plan in detail and showed her the evidence he had collected. Su Yao looked at the evidence, her anger uncontrollable. She recalled the Su family's former glory and the tragic situation after being persecuted by Jiang Lingchuan. Jiang Zhi held Su Yao's hand and said, "Together, let's avenge our family and fight for justice." Su Yao's eyes welled up, and she gritted her teeth and agreed to cooperate with Jiang Zhi.
As the search deepens, Jiang Zhi meets Luo Yang, a descendant of the Luo family who excels in intelligence gathering, and Li Ze, a descendant of the Li family who is proficient in fighting skills. They each have different abilities and backgrounds, but have all suffered greatly because of Jiang Lingchuan.
At a secret gathering, Jiang Zhi gathered everyone together. Under the dim light, everyone's faces appeared serious and resolute. Jiang Zhi stood in front of them and said slowly, "We have all lost too much: our loved ones, our homes, our happiness. Jiang Lingchuan's crimes cannot be tolerated, and the conspiracy of the mysterious organization cannot succeed. Although we come from different families, we now share a common goal." Her voice was firm and powerful, echoing in the room. "I know that confronting them is fraught with danger, but we cannot retreat. We must gather more evidence, expose their crimes, and start by targeting their weak links to make sure they receive the punishment they deserve."
Lin Yu continued, "I can use my connections in the business world to investigate Jiang Lingchuan's capital flows. Maybe I can find key evidence of his collusion with the mysterious organization."
Su Yao also expressed her opinion: "I have some friends in the social circle who may be able to provide some inside information about the mysterious organization."
Luo Yang said confidently, "I will be fully responsible for gathering intelligence. Whether it's Jiang Yao's whereabouts or the plans of the mysterious organization, I will do my best to find out."
Li Ze clenched his fists: "I will train everyone's fighting skills so that we can have stronger self-defense and counterattack capabilities when facing the enemy."
Jiang Zhi looked at these like-minded partners, his heart filled with gratitude and hope. "Okay, from now on, we're a team. We must trust and support each other. We must not miss any clues and must seize every opportunity."
In the days that followed, they began their intensive preparations. Lin Yu frequently met with business partners, secretly investigating Jiang Lingchuan's financial situation. Su Yao shuttled between various social occasions, skillfully extracting information about the mysterious organization from others. Luo Yang, like a ghost, gathered all kinds of intelligence in the dark corners of the city. He used his hacking skills to break into relevant databases and search for useful information. Li Ze organized combat training for everyone. In a remote warehouse, he patiently taught Jiang Zhi and the others various fighting techniques, from basic self-defense to fierce offensive moves.
While participating in training, Jiang Zhi also collated and analyzed the intelligence gathered. She often pored over piles of information late into the night, her eyes focused and bright under the light. She discovered that Jiang Lingchuan's connection to a mysterious organization seemed to be hidden behind some complex business transactions, and that the organization's base might be located in an abandoned military base on the outskirts of the city.
However, their journey wasn't without its challenges. Jiang Yao, seemingly aware that Jiang Zhi was seeking allies, dispatched assassins to harass and attack Jiang Zhi and the others. During one of their outings, Jiang Zhi and Lin Yu encountered an ambush. The assassins swarmed from all sides, blades in hand and fierce glares in their eyes. Jiang Zhi and Lin Yu responded calmly, Jiang Zhi using her agility to fend off the assassins while Lin Yu watched for opportunities to strike back. In the fierce battle, Jiang Zhi deftly dodged the assassins' attacks, then unleashed a fierce attack to repel them. But they also realized that danger could strike again at any moment.
Despite facing numerous difficulties and dangers, Jiang Zhi and her allies refused to give up. They worked more closely together, constantly adjusting their strategies, and continued to move forward towards their goal of exposing the crimes of Jiang Lingchuan and the mysterious organization. Every setback made them more determined, and every danger made them more united. They knew that this was a battle for justice, for their family, and for themselves. No matter the cost, they would persevere to the end.
