Time slipped by like the gentle flow of a brook. Much had passed since that thrilling confrontation with the mysterious organization. Thanks to the tireless efforts of Jiang Zhi, Shen Qingchen, and others, the city had gradually shed the shadow of the mysterious organization and regained its vitality. The tide of economic recovery rolled in, and the streets and alleys bustled once again, with long-lost peace and happiness on the faces of the people. Jiang Zhi and Shen Qingchen, having put an end to the evil deeds of the mysterious organization, became heroes hailed throughout the city. Their legendary story served as a beacon, illuminating the path of justice and happiness in the hearts of many.
During these peaceful and beautiful days, Jiang Zhi and Shen Qingchen often thought of the friends who had fought alongside them in difficult times, especially Lin Xiao and others. These friends had offered their help without hesitation when they were in dire straits, fighting alongside them through thick and thin. This bond of shared life and death had grown stronger and richer over the years, becoming an invaluable treasure in their lives.
The sun was shining brightly that day, and a gentle breeze brought bursts of fresh air. The courtyard of Jiang Zhi's home was bathed in warm sunlight, and the flowers, plants, and trees swayed gently in the breeze, as if they were also looking forward to the upcoming gathering. Jiang Zhi got up early and carefully prepared everything she needed for the party. She went to the market herself and selected the freshest ingredients. Her mind kept thinking about her friends' preferences, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously curled up, her heart full of anticipation for this gathering. When she returned home, she plunged into the kitchen, busy and happy preparing various delicious dishes. The kitchen was filled with tempting aromas, the smell of home and the smell of friendship.
Shen Qingchen wasn't idle either, meticulously decorating the courtyard. He personally brought in tables and chairs, placing them neatly and arranging them around them. He also decorated the surroundings with warm, colorful lights, adding a touch of cheer. He even specially selected some of his friends' favorite drinks and placed them on a nearby table, ensuring every detail was perfect.
The children were laughing and playing nearby. They knew they had important guests arriving today, and their eyes sparkled with excitement. Their younger sister ran around like a little angel, helping Jiang Zhi set the table and peppering her with questions about the uncles and aunts. Their older brother, like a little adult, followed Shen Qingchen around, helping with whatever he could, his eyes revealing his admiration for their father and his curiosity about the gathering.
In the afternoon, Lin Xiao and others arrived one after another. Lin Xiao was still as heroic as ever, with a look of determination and boldness in his eyes. As soon as he stepped into the courtyard, he laughed out loud: "Haha, long time no see! I've been thinking about getting together with everyone today all the way, and I've been looking forward to it so much!" As he said that, he strode forward, gave Shen Qingchen a firm hug, and gently touched the children's heads, his eyes full of love.
Soon after, other friends followed suit, some bearing carefully prepared gifts, others beaming with enthusiasm. For a moment, the courtyard was filled with laughter and a lively atmosphere.
Everyone sat around a table laden with delicious food, their eyes sparkling with excitement and joy. The life-or-death moments they had experienced together seemed like just yesterday, and the images of them fighting side by side resurfaced in their minds like vivid paintings.
"Remember that time in the abandoned factory?" Lin Xiao was the first to break the silence, his voice tinged with emotion. "At that time, we were surrounded by assassins from a mysterious organization, and the situation was extremely critical. Jiang Zhi, you hid in a corner with the child, yet you still looked for opportunities to fight back. I thought at the time, we must protect you and the child and never let those guys succeed!"
Jiang Zhi nodded slightly, a touch of emotion in his eyes, and said softly: "Yes, that time it was thanks to you guys that you arrived in time. If it weren't for you, I really don't know what I would have done."
Shen Qingchen also continued: "And in that abandoned manor, we had a fierce confrontation with the mysterious organization. The situation was so chaotic at the time, but we were able to cooperate with each other and go deeper into the manor step by step. It was really not easy along the way."
Everyone was lost in memories, recounting those unforgettable experiences one after another. Every detail was deeply engraved in their minds, and every life-and-death test became the solid foundation of their friendship.
"By the way, we later discovered the full extent of the mysterious organization's conspiracy, which was truly infuriating," a friend said angrily. "They were trying to control the entire city's economic lifeline, seeking huge profits by any means necessary, and harming so many people. If we were able to destroy them, it would be considered to have eliminated a major threat to the city."
"That's right, and with the demise of the mysterious organization, more truths have surfaced." Jiang Zhi added, "It turns out that Jiang Lingchuan and Gu Manqi were both pawns of the mysterious organization. They did so many evil things for their own benefit. We have collected enough evidence and we must make sure they receive the punishment they deserve."
“Well, we won’t let them get away with it.” Shen Qingchen said firmly, with a look of determination in his eyes.
In between reminiscing and discussing, the children played happily nearby. A younger sister, clutching a beautiful kite, ran around the courtyard, her laughter melodious and sweet. Her older brother, beside her, carefully guided her, his eyes filled with care. Watching this heartwarming scene, the friends felt immensely warmed.
"Jiang Zhi, Shen Qingchen, you two children are so cute." Lin Xiao said with a smile, "Looking at them, I feel that life is full of hope."
Jiang Zhi looked at the children with a smile, her eyes full of tenderness: "Yes, they are our babies. After going through so much, seeing them grow up healthy and happy is our greatest happiness."
