Eun Soo-hyun held a press conference to urge the truth behind Kang Gun-woo's death to be found out.Only one reporter came to attend the press conference.All other reporters were blocked by Jin Jun.
Under Jin Jun's threat, Kang Soo-ho (played by Kang Yu) handed over the original evidence held by Yin Soo-hyun to Jin Jun.
Kang Soo-ho said:“If there is really justice in the world, there should be nothing like our Jianyu”. Right now, you are more important to me than anyone else.I will be punished in hell.Conceal it all!Live your life well.“Yin Soo-hyun said: ”Things like this would not happen in a country where the person who killed Gun-woo became the president.“
Kwon Sun Yool came to Oh Go Eun Hotel.Wu Gaoen said: All mothers in the world feel the same.Watching a child get sick is the most painful thing, so he convinced Quan Shanyul.
Hong Soo-jin (played by Yang Hye-ji) and Park Yong-gu (played by Kim Woo-hyun) help Kwon Sun-yul gather the victims of the consortium to prepare for prosecution.Yin Xiuxian also prepared various things that he could do.

Jin Jun continued to strengthen his support and made great progress all the way.As a writer, Eun Soo-hyun held a press conference to preview her new work.The new work is based on a true story. Yin Soo-hyun said that the person who killed his son was presidential candidate Kim Jun.
At this time, Quan Shanyul tried to kill Jin Jun.
Jin Jun (Park Hyuk Kwon)'s evil deeds are exposed.
Although public opinion began to turn in an unfavorable direction, Eun Soo-hyun did not give up and began to hold a one-person demonstration hoping to punish Jin Jun.There are even rumors among the people that he performed to sell books and that his delusional disorder worsened after losing his son.
And Kang Tae-ho (played by Chen Geon-woo) did not listen quietly to the false news of his sister-in-law Eun Soo-hyun. Han Yu-ri (played by Im Se-mi) asked the fan club and the university student union where he is a professor to share the contents of Eun Soo-hyun's one-person demonstration.In addition, her mother-in-law Jung Myung-hee (Ji Hae-yeon) also came to the one-person demonstration to cheer her on.
During this period, Kwon Sun Yool (Cha Eun Woo) went to find Jin Jun on the roof alone.Quan Shanyul said: Can a person who kills people also become president?Was it a hired murder?“Jin Jun wanted to remove everything that hindered his progress, and suddenly said: ”Including Quan Shanyul, even Yin Xiuxian must be killed.“The angry Quan Shanyul said” let’s go together here!“ grabbed Jin Jun's neck and pushed him to the railing of the roof, but was stopped by the guards. Jin Jun said: ” If this continues, I will become the president.Stop blabbing.“
However, when people supporting Eun Soo-hyun began to gather strength and showed unusual signs, Kim Jun's camp mobilized response troops and dispatched some party members to the one-person demonstration site to cause trouble.However, people who support Yin Soo-hyun, including Kwon Sun-yul, gradually gather together to help Yin Soo-hyun.
In addition, Kang Soo-ho dealt with the evidence that Jin Jun abetted the murder alone, and staged another reversal.During this period, he teamed up with Lee Han Sang (played by Sung Ji Lou) to collect evidence to bring Jin Jun down, and even Kwon Sun Yool joined in and provided evidence.Although Jin Jun was panicked, he comforted the shaken voters and said: "Don't be deceived by the forces trying to frame me."”However, after the decisive evidence was made public, public opinion completely turned away from Jin Jun.Only a small section of the media stayed with him to cover the scene of his arrest by the police.
As a result, all of Jin Jun's evil deeds, including shell companies, illegal secret funds, secret fund accounts in the political and financial circles, and arson, all came to light.Moreover, Yin Soo-hyun once again summoned Jin Jun, the real culprit in his son's traffic accident, and the referee sentenced Jin Jun to life imprisonment.In this way, after Jin Jun was detained by the court, he left words to prepare for an appeal, but did not show any introspection in the end.
Jin Jun said: “You seem to have become some kind of hero?Even if I disappear alone, the world will not change.”But Quan Shanlu said: “I know.But you are not alone in this world.There are many better people out there and things will get better.”He also said: “It's still far away.From now on, endless trials are waiting for you.We're just getting started now, and this is your end.”
Finally, Yin Xiuxian met Kwon Sunyul and said: “Stop living like a withered tree, live a sprouting life.Don't just stay with the thing that is about to die. I hope that the rest of your life can care for you.Then one day I got a call.Everything is fine now”, and we said our final goodbyes.
In this way, 6 years later, everyone lived their own lives, and Yin Xiuxian lived with many children in the nursery.Quan Shanyul returned to the Medical University and is now studying hard to save people.
