Chapter 20 - Chapter 20: Justice, Secrets & Sunsets

The Fall of Cheng Ying**

The screen lit up with **irrefutable evidence**—embezzlement, the murder of Luong's mother, even his whispered orders to burn Trade Sprint to the ground. The crowd erupted.

Zhang Weng's voice boomed:

**"Cheng Ying, you are stripped of all titles. Your empire ends tonight."**

As security moved in, Cheng Ying's hand **twitched toward his sleeve**—then **he lunged**, a **hidden blade flashing**.

**"You think this is over? I still have allies!"**

The knife **plunged into Luong's side.**

**Chaos.**

- **Yin caught her**, screaming for help.

- **Yu tackled Cheng Ying**, snarling, **"You're done."**

**The Hospital Vigil**

Yin clung to Luong's hand, **tears dripping onto their intertwined fingers.**

*"Come back to me,"* he begged. *"I can't lose you too."*

**Then—a miracle.** Her eyes fluttered open. Yin **sobbed with relief**, kissing her forehead as doctors rushed in.

**The Prison Confession**

Once Luong recovered, they visited Cheng Ying.

**Cheng Ying smirked.** *"Your mother discovered my deals. She had to die."* A pause. *"Oh, and Yin? You're adopted. Your real mother begged for your life… before I slit her throat."*

Yin **slammed his fists against the glass.** *"LIES!"*

Luong gripped his shaking shoulders. **"We'll find the truth."**

**The Truth & The Aftermath**

At home, Yin's mother **collapsed into tears**, confirming everything.

*"She hid you to save you. I swore to protect you… even from this pain."*

Yin **vanished for hours**—finally found at a playground, **swinging alone like a lost child.**

Luong knelt before him, cupping his face.

*"You're still Yin—the man who fought for me, loved me, and never gave up. That's who you are."*

Yu, ever the clown, grinned:

*"Dude, Thor was adopted. You're in elite company."*

Li **smacked him**, but Yin **laughed through tears.**

The Double Proposal**

Weeks later, at sunset on a private beach:

1. **Yu dropped to one knee**, ring glinting.

*"Li Shiyi, marry me. Let's fight forever—but as husband and wife."*

Li **squealed**, tackling him with a **"YES!"**

2. **Yin opened a velvet box**, hands trembling.

*"Luong, you're my heart. My home. Marry me?"*

She **kissed him silent**, whispering *"Always."*

**Zhang Weng and Qi Xing(zhang yin mother)** hugged, snapping photos as their children embraced—**a family forged in fire, now bathed in golden light.**

** New Beginnings**

- **Trade Sprint** thrived under Luong and Yin's leadership.

- **Yu and Li** married in a **chaotic, laughter-filled ceremony** (cake ended up on the ceiling).

- **Cheng Ying** rotted in prison, forgotten.

And every anniversary, the four friends returned to **that beach**, toasting the sunset that witnessed their **hard-won happily ever after.**
