Xiao Ai and I both understood that the evidence we held was like a ticking time bomb; once detonated, it would undoubtedly create a storm in the entire medical community. Therefore, we carefully organized all the materials and sealed them in an inconspicuous envelope. The envelope bore no signature, only the addresses of the Health Department and the prosecutor's office. Like agents on a covert mission, we lingered by an unremarkable mailbox, ensuring no one was around before we dropped the envelope inside. In that moment, I felt a weight lift from my heart, but soon after, a deeper tension settled in.
Yet this was not enough; we knew that such dark secrets needed to be exposed to the public to gain broader attention. After discussing it with Xiao Ai, we submitted the organized materials anonymously to several well-known media outlets, hoping they would follow up on the story. A few days later, news flooded in from all directions. The power of the media proved formidable; the situation quickly escalated, and the hospital was immediately subjected to investigation by relevant authorities.
Before long, Doctor Zhang and the family member of that patient were suspended pending investigation. Each day upon waking, I kept a close watch on news reports, fearing I might miss any detail. My heart was filled with anticipation, hoping for justice to arrive soon, but at the same time, a thread of unease crept in—what if they found a way to destroy evidence or used some means to evade legal consequences? Would our efforts be in vain?
During these days, Xiao Ai and I continually encouraged and supported each other. We both knew this struggle would not be easy, but for the sake of those innocent patients and their families, and to expose this conspiracy, we had to persevere. Even in the darkest moments, Xiao Ai always rekindled my confidence with her warm smile and resolute words.
The investigation was not smooth sailing. During interrogations, Doctor Zhang and the patient's family member denied everything and refused to admit any wrongdoing. They even hired top lawyers in an attempt to absolve themselves. However, as the investigation deepened, more evidence surfaced, and their lies were ultimately exposed. In that moment, I felt immense relief; the long-suppressed flame of justice within me finally found its voice.
Despite this, I still couldn't find complete peace within myself. Perhaps it was because things had just begun to resolve; I needed time to adjust. At that moment, I started looking forward to waking up anew and starting a fresh life. For some time now, I felt as if I had been living in a dream, and now I longed to awaken from this dream and embrace a brand new beginning.
In the quiet of night, I often lay in bed reflecting on everything. Perhaps it was this brave attempt that made me realize that no matter how difficult life may be, as long as we hold firm to our beliefs, we can surely see the dawn of hope. I hoped my efforts would not only help those victims but also raise awareness about the importance of truth for many others.
At that moment, Xiao Ai pushed open the door. She looked somewhat fatigued but her eyes still sparkled with resilience and determination. We exchanged smiles without needing any words because we both understood what the other was thinking. This battle had been arduous, but we were not alone; many stood by our side.
Outside, the moonlight shone brightly as I gazed up at the starry sky. It felt as if I saw a shooting star streak across the night; that was my wish and a silent encouragement. I knew there were still many things to be done, but at this moment, I just wanted to immerse myself in this victory's joy and quietly savor it all.
Life is like a game of chess—there are advances and retreats—and I am striving to make each move count. The future may still be filled with uncertainties, but I believe that as long as there is light in my heart, I can traverse through darkness and find my way forward.
