As my father lay on his deathbed, he clutched tightly to the clay model house I had given him as a child. Standing by his side, memories of our time together flooded my mind. When I was little, he would always carry me on his shoulders to watch the sunset, his hearty laughter still echoing in my ears. "When I was young, Dad always gave me the best of everything, but I couldn't even save him from his illness. What kind of daughter am I?" I thought to myself, tears streaming down my face and soaking the sheets. 0
 
During the arrangements for my father's funeral, Zhou Ran quietly stayed by my side. He helped me with various tasks, his eyes filled with concern. Yet, the pain in my heart remained unrelieved, as if a massive stone were pressing down on me, making it hard to breathe. "Dad, you’ve left me. What am I supposed to do now… What meaning is there in my life going forward?" I felt dazed and lost, mechanically going through each task. 0
 
After the funeral concluded, as I gazed at my father's urn, a sudden resolve surged within me. I slowly knelt down and gently touched the urn, whispering, "Dad, don’t worry. I will seek justice for you and make Cheng Huai pay for what he has done! I swear!" Rising to my feet, determination burned in my eyes like a flame of vengeance. 0
 
My father's departure ignited a fire of revenge within me. In the courtroom, the atmosphere was stifling and oppressive. Everyone sat rigidly in their seats, and an invisible frost seemed to hang in the air. 0
 
The lawyer began presenting evidence; documents were laid out on the table one by one. Cheng Huai's face grew increasingly pale as beads of sweat formed on his forehead. His gaze began to dart around nervously, and his hands fidgeted restlessly, betraying his inner turmoil. 0
 
Cheng Huai's lawyer stood up and cleared his throat dramatically. "Your Honor, these pieces of evidence are of questionable origin and may have been deliberately fabricated to slander my client." 0
 
Our lawyer immediately countered, "These pieces of evidence were obtained through lawful investigations, including documents retrieved from the XX warehouse where two witnesses were present at the time. Furthermore, each document bears official stamps and signatures from relevant authorities and holds legal validity!" He then presented records of the investigation process along with witness testimonies. 0
 
Cheng Huai continued to protest: "This is all slander! I haven’t done anything! I’ve been framed!" His voice was shrill and laced with desperation as he avoided making eye contact with anyone. 0
 
"You still want to deny it?" I could no longer contain my fury; I stood up angrily, leaning on the table as my body trembled with rage. "You cared only for money while disregarding others' lives and betrayed me—how could you be so heartless?" My gaze bore into Cheng Huai's, flames of anger threatening to consume him. 0
 
Bai Wei also took the stand as a witness. Dressed in plain clothes, her eyes flitted around nervously as she tried to present herself as innocent. She attempted to defend Cheng Huai: "I... I don’t know anything; they’re just making things up! I'm just a small streamer..." 0
 
"Bai Wei, stop lying!" I glared at her with piercing eyes. "I know all about the dirty deeds you and Cheng Huai have done; you can’t escape this!" My finger trembled slightly as I pointed at her; my anger had reached its peak. 0
 
More crucially, Zhou Ran presented a BIM Model demonstration in court that projected a simulation animation of the Dangerous Building's collapse. To everyone's shock, when virtual bricks fell in the simulation, their trajectories formed Cheng Huai’s signature! At that moment, I suddenly noticed that the material of the judge's gavel matched the alloy composition listed in the substandard rebar inspection report! 0
 
 
As Cheng Huai once again denied all the accusations, I suddenly raised the clay sculpture of a small house that my father had clutched tightly before his passing and shouted, "You have destroyed this home! You have not only ruined my family but also shattered countless hopes!" 0
