I was a rookie reporter in the 00s

Sunlight filtered through the heavy curtains, dappling onto Zhang Wanqing's desk. She sat at her computer, her fingers pounding away at the keyboard, each word a flame dancing in her heart. Fu Siyuan sat beside her, his gaze focused and determined. They were working on a news story that would rock the city.

"We have to make sure every detail is correct." Zhang Wanqing's voice was a little nervous. Her fingers paused on the keyboard, and she looked back at Fu Siyuan, her eyes gleaming with anticipation.

Fu Siyuan nodded, his eyes filled with determination. "This is our victory, and it's also a victory for justice. We can't let this opportunity slip away."

They worked together, carefully choosing every word and weighing every sentence, knowing that this report would not only expose the crimes of corrupt officials but also bring a ray of justice to those who had been harmed.

Lin Feng and Li Wei sat not far away, their eyes occasionally cast towards Zhang Wanqing and Fu Siyuan. Their relationship had improved because of this common battle, and the tacit understanding and trust between them had been strengthened in each crisis.

"Look, we should add the process of our evidence collection here." Li Wei pointed at the computer screen, his voice carrying a hint of excitement.

Lin Feng nodded, his eyes switching back and forth between the screen and Li Wei. "Yes, this part is important. It shows our hard work and determination."

They discussed and revised the report together, carefully considering every detail. They knew that this report would be their strongest voice against corruption.

As the report gradually finished, Zhang Wanqing and Fu Siyuan smiled with satisfaction. They knew that this report would change everything.

"We've accomplished another difficult task, haven't we?" Zhang Wanqing's voice was filled with emotion. She looked at Fu Siyuan, tears glistening in her eyes.

Fu Siyuan held her hand tightly, his eyes full of pride.

"Yes, Wanqing, you are braver than when I first met you. I have to look at you with new eyes now!" Fu Siyuan admired Zhang Wanqing more and more, from the initial worry about her ability to the current affirmation and praise of her.

Lin Feng and Li Wei also came over. They looked at the report on the computer and smiled with satisfaction on their faces.

"The four of us are now a team." Lin Feng's voice was filled with emotion. He looked at Li Wei with sincerity in his eyes.

Li Wei nodded, but still maintained his coolness and said, "Oh, Lin Feng, you're... okay... but, you and I are just from the same team, we're not brothers yet!"

Lin Feng laughed and said, "If it doesn't count, then it doesn't count. It doesn't matter, haha!"

Zhang Wanqing was once again amused by Li Wei and said jokingly, "Lin Feng, don't mind it. Li Wei is just like that, careless and playful. He makes jokes about everyone. I'm used to it. You can just ignore what he says."

Zhang Wanqing said this, and Lin Feng also started laughing. Li Wei glared at her from the side. However, Li Wei felt that Zhang Wanqing was right, he was just a slacker.

Sunlight filtered through the courthouse's high windows, casting dappled shadows across the polished marble floor. Zhang Wanqing stood in the back row of the courtroom, her gaze fixed on the defendants' seats, where once-powerful, corrupt officials sat. Their faces were devoid of their former arrogance and complacency, replaced by fear and despair.

The judge's voice echoed throughout the solemn courtroom. His voice was steady and powerful, each word like a hammer striking everyone's heart. "Following trial, this court finds the defendant guilty of multiple charges, including embezzlement and bribery. He is hereby sentenced according to law..."

Zhang Wanqing's heartbeat quickened as the judge spoke. Her hands gripped the railing tightly, her knuckles turning slightly white from the effort. She knew that at this moment, the efforts of her and her companions had finally paid off.

Fu Siyuan stood beside her, his eyes flashing with determination. They had experienced countless difficulties and challenges together, and now, they finally saw the dawn of victory.

Lin Feng and Li Wei also stood aside, their faces filled with excitement that could not be concealed. They had discussed this moment countless times, and now, it had finally arrived.

The judges' voices continued to ring out, and each judgment was like a shackle on corrupt officials, binding them firmly under the judgment of justice.

As the judge's verdict fell, a low murmur erupted in the courtroom. Reporters' flashbulbs flickered, capturing this historic moment. Zhang Wanqing felt an indescribable joy well up in her heart, tears glistening in her eyes.

"We are not only journalists, we are also guardians of justice." Zhang Wanqing looked at Fu Siyuan and said.

"What about us? Zhang Wanqing?" Li Wei asked.

"You and Lin Feng, one is no longer a policeman, and the other is a private detective, but you are braver than many policemen, and you two are also guardians of justice." Zhang Wanqing replied.

"That's about right!" Li Wei said.

Lin Feng laughed again.

The report was finally completed, and Zhang Wanqing and Fu Siyuan sent the file to the editor. They knew that this report would be published immediately and would cause a sensation throughout the city.

They stood at the window, looking at the city outside, their hearts filled with anticipation and excitement. They knew that their efforts would bring changes to the city and bring hope to the victims.

"We have done the right thing again." There was a hint of determination in Zhang Wanqing's voice.

With the arrest of corrupt officials, the air in the city seemed to have become fresher. People discussed the trial in the streets and alleys, their eyes full of anticipation for the future.

Zhang Wanqing and her colleagues returned to the office, knowing that their work had only just begun. They needed to continue to expose more injustices and speak out for those innocent victims.

"We need to ensure that every victim's story is heard," said Zhang Wanqing, who was writing a news article. "We want these stories to touch people's hearts and allow readers to relate to their suffering."

Zhang Wanqing and Fu Siyuan began an in-depth investigation, visiting each victim's family and recording their stories. They saw elderly people who had lost their homes due to corruption, children who had lost their education opportunities due to corruption, and ordinary citizens who had lost hope due to injustice.

Zhang Wanqing and Fu Siyuan listened attentively, recording every detail and every emotional fluctuation. They knew that the power of these stories was enough to move people.

Back in the office, Zhang Wanqing and Fu Siyuan began writing their reports, weaving the facts they had investigated and the stories of the victims into touching articles.

"Here, we need to emphasize the suffering this family has endured due to the inaction of corrupt officials." Zhang Wanqing pointed to a text on the screen, her voice tinged with emotion.

Fu Siyuan nodded, his eyes full of sympathy. "Yes, we want readers to feel their despair, but also to show their resilience and hope."

They worked together, carefully choosing every word and weighing every sentence, knowing that this report would not only expose the crimes of corrupt officials but also bring a ray of justice to those who had been harmed.

The report's release shook the entire city. People discussed the report in the streets, their eyes filled with anger and sympathy. The victims' stories touched everyone's hearts, and they began to demand justice and change.

Zhang Wanqing and Fu Siyuan stood at the office window, gazing at the city outside, their hearts filled with strength and hope. They knew that their repeated struggles, speaking out for the people and exposing their dark side, were more than just their duty as journalists.

Their sense of responsibility and mission as journalists has driven them to grow rapidly. What they have done has gone beyond their job duties as journalists. Their reports have had an impact, and their efforts have begun to change the city.
