Jiang Ciyou's doubts have been growing like wild grass in spring. Her feelings for Lu Jingchen are torn between suspicion and attachment. Every time she tries to get closer to the truth, it's like stepping into a deeper fog. What she doesn't know is that her investigation has already alerted the mysterious organization.

It was a seemingly ordinary evening, the sky and sunset glow were as gorgeous as usual, but also foreshadowed the darkness that was about to fall. Jiang Ciyou finished a tiring day of work and walked home with heavy steps. The streets were crowded with cars and pedestrians, and no one noticed the fatigue and worry on her face.

When she turned into a relatively quiet alley, several tall, stern-looking strangers appeared out of nowhere and blocked her way. The leading man was wearing a black jacket, with sharp and cold eyes. He stepped forward and said in a low and threatening voice: "Miss Jiang, our boss wants to talk to you. You seem to be too curious about things you shouldn't care about recently, which is not good."

Jiang Ciyou's heartbeat suddenly accelerated. She subconsciously took a step back and looked at the people in front of her warily. The scattered information she had investigated during this period quickly flashed through her mind, and she knew in her heart that these people must be related to the mysterious organization. Although she was filled with fear, her stubbornness made her straighten her spine and responded, "I don't know what you are talking about, get out of the way!"

However, those people did not retreat because of her words, but approached step by step. Jiang Ciyou looked around and found that there was no one in the alley. Her palms were sweating coldly and she secretly groaned in her heart. Just when she felt desperate, she suddenly heard a burst of hurried footsteps and shouts: "Ciyou!"

Jiang Ciyou turned around and saw Lu Jingchen rushing over like a gust of wind, his eyes burning with anger and concern. He stood in front of Jiang Ciyou without hesitation, confronting those strangers and shouting, "Who are you? Dare to touch her!"

The strangers seemed a little timid when they saw Lu Jingchen appear, but they still had no intention of leaving. The leading man sneered, "Master Lu, this is a matter between us and Miss Jiang, you'd better not interfere."

Lu Jingchen's eyes widened with anger and he roared, "She is my woman, your business is my business!" As he said that, he took a stance, ready to deal with the attacks of these people at any time.

Jiang Ciyou stood behind Lu Jingchen, looking at his back, with a complex emotion in her heart. She was touched by Lu Jingchen's presence and protection at the critical moment, but she was also a little worried that he would fall into danger. At this moment, her emotions were even more tangled.

The two sides were in a stalemate for a while, and the strangers seemed to be weighing the pros and cons, and finally chose to back off. They glared at Lu Jingchen and Jiang Ciyou fiercely, and said, "You'd better be sensible and stop causing trouble." Then they disappeared at the end of the alley.

Lu Jingchen breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and hugged Jiang Ciyou tightly, and said in a trembling voice: "Ciyou, are you okay? I was so worried about you."

Jiang Ciyou leaned in Lu Jingchen's arms, smelling his familiar scent, and the fear in her heart gradually dissipated, but the doubts still existed. She raised her head, looked into Lu Jingchen's eyes, and asked, "Why are you here? Have you been following me?"

Lu Jingchen was slightly stunned, then let go of Jiang Ciyou, and said helplessly, "I was worried about you. I noticed that you were acting a little strange recently, and I thought you would be in danger, so I asked someone to protect you secretly. I didn't expect that I was right."

Jiang Ciyou lowered her head, feeling somewhat guilty. She knew that Lu Jingchen cared about her, but her investigation had caused more misunderstandings and conflicts between the two. She said softly, "I'm sorry, I just... I just want to find out your identity. I don't want to be kept in the dark anymore."

Lu Jingchen sighed softly and said, "I know, it's my fault for not telling you everything earlier. Let's go back to my place first, and I'll tell you everything."

Jiang Ciyou hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded. The two walked out of the alley side by side, without speaking a word along the way. Jiang Ciyou was in a very heavy mood. She didn't know what the truth Lu Jingchen was about to tell her was, nor did she know if she could really accept it. Lu Jingchen secretly swore in his heart that he must protect Jiang Ciyou and never let her get hurt again.

Back at Lu Jingchen's residence, the room was filled with a tense and depressing atmosphere. Lu Jingchen asked Jiang Ciyou to sit on the sofa, poured her a glass of water, and sat opposite her. After a moment of silence, he said, "Ciyou, I have always wanted to tell you my true identity, but I am afraid that you will leave me. I am the son of the richest man, but my life is not as glorious as it seems."

He paused and continued, "That mysterious organization has been secretly coveting our family's property. I approached you not to use you, but because I really like you. I have been secretly investigating this organization to protect our family and loved ones. These people came to you today because they noticed that you were investigating them, and they wanted to threaten you to stop the investigation."

Jiang Ciyou listened quietly, a little shocked. She didn't expect that there were so many secrets and dangers behind Lu Jingchen's identity. She looked into Lu Jingchen's eyes, trying to find a trace of lies, but she only saw sincerity and worry.

"Then why didn't you tell me earlier?" Jiang Ciyou asked.

"I'm afraid you'll worry and think I've caused you trouble. I want to wait until everything is resolved before telling you." Lu Jingchen said helplessly.

Jiang Ciyou fell into deep thought, she didn't know how to face all this. She remembered every bit of her time with Lu Jingchen, and those beautiful memories flickered in her heart like bright stars. But she also remembered her husband's betrayal and the danger today, and the conflict in her heart became more intense.

"Ciyou, believe me, I will protect you and won't let you get hurt." Lu Jingchen held Jiang Ciyou's hand and said affectionately.

Jiang Ciyou was moved, she looked at Lu Jingchen and nodded gently. She knew that she had fallen deeply in love with this man without realizing it, and no matter how many difficulties and dangers lay ahead, she was willing to face them with him.

At this moment, Jiang Ciyou's cell phone suddenly rang. She picked up the phone and saw that it was her husband calling. She had an ominous premonition in her heart, and after hesitating for a moment, she still answered the phone.

"Jiang Ciyou, you must be very happy with that pretty boy recently, right? Don't forget that you are still my wife. If you don't come back to me immediately, I will ruin your reputation!" The husband's vicious voice came from the other end of the phone.

Jiang Ciyou's face turned pale, and she looked at Lu Jingchen with helplessness and pain in her eyes. Lu Jingchen took the phone and said coldly: "Do you think you can still threaten her? From the moment you betrayed her, you have already lost her." After that, he hung up the phone and hugged Jiang Ciyou tightly in his arms.

Jiang Ciyou leaned in Lu Jingchen's arms, tears welling up in her eyes. She knew that her life had fallen into a huge whirlpool, and Lu Jingchen was her only lifeline. She decided that no matter what happened in the future, she would stay with Lu Jingchen and face everything together.

The night outside the window was getting darker and darker, and the city lights were still flickering, but in this small room, Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen's hearts were closely attached to each other, and they were about to face a future full of unknowns and challenges.
