As both sides reached a stalemate, a reporter arrived just in time, bringing new evidence—a video he had secretly recorded during a visit to President Zhao's company. The footage clearly showed a conversation between President Zhao and Cheng Huai, revealing their collusion and President Zhao's leading role in the entire incident.
However, just when we thought victory was within our grasp, President Zhao's lawyer suddenly presented a "Voluntary Drug Trial Consent Form" signed by Father Lin before his death, attempting to shift the blame regarding the drug issue to "family awareness," thereby reducing President Zhao's culpability. The courtroom erupted in chaos; this unexpected turn of events left both Zhou Ran and me shaken, a wave of intense unease washing over us.
After a fierce trial and a long wait, Cheng Huai and President Zhao were ultimately sentenced to prison terms in accordance with the law, and their company faced appropriate penalties. Bai Wei also received corresponding sanctions for her involvement in some of Cheng Huai's criminal activities.
Following this, I threw myself into preparing the Medical Mutual Aid Station—not only to fulfill my father's dying wish but also to fill the deep sense of debt I felt within. I knew that only by genuinely helping those in need could I step out of the shadows of my past and find redemption.
Zhou Ran stood by me like a sturdy tree, silently guarding me. He helped me reach out for medical resources, meticulously planning every detail of the aid station, even rolling up his sleeves to participate in the renovations. He always smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm here for you." His smile was like rare sunshine on a winter day, dispelling the chill in my heart.
The construction of the aid station was not smooth sailing; funding, manpower—various problems piled up, making it hard to breathe. But we gritted our teeth and refused to give up. We sought help everywhere, and eventually, community residents and some charitable organizations extended their hands. Watching the aid station take shape from nothing ignited a flame of hope within me.
Finally, the aid station was completed. We began offering free medical consultations, health lectures, and clinics for community residents. Seeing neighbors who had once suffered from illness regain their smiles filled me with unprecedented satisfaction. I knew that everything we had done was worthwhile.
One day, Zhou Ran mysteriously said to me, "Lin Xia, today I'm taking you somewhere special." Curiously following him, I found myself at the convenience store where we had weathered storms together. This small store bore witness to our meeting and all the sweet and bitter moments we had shared along the way.
The sunset cast a gentle golden light over the store, enveloping it in warmth. Zhou Ran stopped walking, turned around, and gazed at me with deep affection. In his eyes, it seemed as if starlight was twinkling.
He slowly pulled out a small velvet box from his pocket and opened it to reveal a ring quietly resting inside. The design was unique; the platinum band featured a heart-shaped piece of rebar at its center! This piece of rebar was found amidst the ruins of the Dangerous Building; it witnessed our love and symbolized the hardships we had endured together.
Zhou Ran knelt on one knee, holding up the ring with a low and gentle voice: "Lin Xia, after everything we've been through, I am even more certain that you are the most important person in my life. I want to spend my life protecting you, caring for you, and ensuring your happiness. Will you marry me?"
My heart raced as if it would leap out of my chest; tears could no longer be held back as they streamed down my face. I looked at Zhou Ran, seeing the sincerity and love in his eyes, gazing at that one-of-a-kind ring in his hand; my throat tightened so much that I couldn't utter a word.
The scenes from the past flashed through my mind like a revolving lantern. I saw my father's kind smile, the moment the Dangerous Building collapsed, Cheng Huai's ugly face, and Zhou Ran lifting me up time and again, giving me strength and accompanying me out of despair.
I knew that Zhou Ran was the most important person in my life; he was the light in my darkness, the lighthouse when I was lost. He gave me not just love, but also courage and hope.
I nodded vigorously, my voice trembling with emotion yet unwaveringly firm. "I am willing! I am willing!"
A brilliant smile blossomed on Zhou Ran's face as he carefully placed the ring on my ring finger. The size of the ring was perfect, as if it had been made for me.
The last rays of the setting sun streamed through the convenience store's glass window, casting a warm glow upon us. The ring sparkled in the sunlight, and its shadow on the ground resembled the outline of a rebuilt Dangerous Building!
In that moment, I felt as if I could hear my father's blessing and sensed his expectations for us. I knew we would be happy.
Months later, the Medical Mutual Aid Station was finally completed at the site of the Dangerous Building. During the foundation work, workers unearthed a deeply buried Golden Concrete Tablet, which Cheng Huai had buried to cover up his crimes, symbolizing his greed and evil.
We decided to melt it down into a Community Warning Bell, standing tall in the center of the square. The bell's chime was clear and melodious; every time it rang, it reminded people of past suffering and present rebirth.
At the inauguration ceremony of the mutual aid station, Zhou Ran and I embraced tightly, reminiscing about everything that had happened. The pain, struggle, perseverance, and hope had all become our most precious treasures in life.
I knew that the road ahead would be long, but as long as Zhou Ran was by my side, I feared nothing. Together we would embrace a new life, filled with dreams for the future and love for each other, bravely moving forward.
