Rebirth 70: I am a Koi

I took a deep breath and lowered my voice and said, "I suspect this incident was not accidental. Someone may be deliberately doing this behind the scenes."

Bai Hanchuan's expression was stern, and he asked in a deep voice: "What is your basis?"

I told him my speculations and analysis, including the malicious competition that had appeared in the market before and some unreasonable aspects of this incident.

"I'll have someone investigate." After listening to my analysis, Bai Hanchuan's eyes flashed with a cold light, "If there really is someone behind this, I will never let him go."

I nodded, feeling a little relieved. With Bai Hanchuan's words, I believe he will get to the bottom of it.

After the emergency meeting, Lin Xiao immediately led the team to take action, contacted major media, and released a series of positive reports about the planting base. In the reports, we showed the planting environment, production process and product testing reports of the base, speaking with facts and effectively countering the doubts of the outside world.

At the same time, I also started to contact authoritative testing agencies to conduct comprehensive testing on our products. I believe that the innocent will be cleared, and as long as the test results come out, all rumors will be broken.

A few days later, the test results came out, and as I expected, our products fully met national standards and had no quality problems. I immediately made the test results public and filed a lawsuit against the rumor maker.

Things seemed to be moving in a good direction, but I still felt a little uneasy. My intuition told me that this matter was not over yet.

That day, I was checking documents in the office when Lin Xiao suddenly walked in in a hurry.

"Jinli, something bad has happened..."

"Jinli, it's bad, something happened..." Lin Xiao's voice was trembling, and his face was pale, as if he had seen something terrible. My heart tightened, and I stood up suddenly, and the documents in my hand fell to the ground.

"What's wrong? Speak slowly." I held Lin Xiao's shoulders and tried to comfort her with a calm voice.

Lin Xiao took a deep breath and said intermittently: "The warehouse...the warehouse caught fire..."

My head buzzed and my eyes went dark. The warehouse was filled with our latest high-quality seeds, which were the result of our hard work over the past few months and the hope for the future development of the planting base!

"What's the situation now? Is the fire under control?" I forced myself to calm down and asked about the situation.

"The fire brigade has already rushed over, but the fire is very big..." Lin Xiao's tears welled up in her eyes, "Someone saw...saw someone deliberately setting the fire..."

I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. It seemed that the other party was determined to completely destroy our planting base.

"Don't worry, it'll be fine." I patted Lin Xiao's shoulder, turned around and grabbed my coat, "Let's go to the warehouse now."

When we arrived at the warehouse, the scene was in chaos. The flames lit up half the sky, and the smoke billowed. The pungent smell was nauseating. Firefighters were trying their best to put out the fire, but the fire was still fierce and most of the warehouse had been engulfed.

My heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand, and I could hardly breathe. Could it be... could it be that we were really going to fail at the last moment?

Just then, a familiar figure pushed through the crowd and walked towards me.

"Don't worry, I have contacted the relevant expert team. They will survey the scene and help us recover the losses as much as possible." The voice of the mysterious ally was as steady and powerful as ever, like a reassurance that gradually calmed my originally panicked heart.

Later, a new ally arrived at the scene and brought good news.

"I have contacted the media. They will report the fire in full and expose the crimes of the mastermind behind it to the public." The new ally adjusted his glasses with a shrewd gleam in his eyes. "Believe me, justice will never be absent."

With everyone's joint efforts, the fire was finally brought under control. Although most of the warehouse was burned down, fortunately, the seed bank in the core area was spared because it was protected by a firewall.

Looking at the scene in front of me, I felt mixed emotions. Although this fire caused us huge losses, it also made us see the true colors of some people.

"Jinli, look..." Lin Xiao pointed at several figures walking in the distance, his tone excited.

I followed her gaze and saw several partners who had terminated their cooperation due to rumors walking towards us. They walked in front of me with guilt and apology on their faces...

The smoke had not yet dissipated, and the air was filled with the smell of burning, but I felt a warm feeling in my heart. Several bosses who had terminated cooperation due to rumors were now standing in front of me with guilt.

"Boss Mu, we are so sorry. We wrongly blamed you!" Boss Wang spoke first, his tone sincere, "We were also blinded and believed the slander. We didn't expect..."

"Yes, President Mu, we really didn't recognize the great man!" Boss Li also echoed, "After seeing what happened to the base, we realized how foolish our original choice was! I hope you can forgive our mistakes and give us another chance!"

I looked at them with mixed feelings. The fire not only burned down the warehouse, but also burned away suspicion and distrust, leaving behind sincerity and trust.

"I appreciate your kindness, and let bygones be bygones." I said calmly, with a determined look in my eyes, "I believe that as long as we work together, we will be able to overcome the difficulties before us and create a better future together!"

My words were powerful and everyone present could feel my determination and confidence. The partners nodded one after another, and hope rekindled in their eyes.

Bai Hanchuan walked up to me and gently held my hand. His eyes were gentle and firm, as if telling me that no matter what happened, he would always be with me.

After this storm, the cohesion of the planting base has been unprecedentedly strengthened. The employees are more united, and the partners trust us more. We cleaned up the ruins and rebuilt our homes together, proving with practical actions that we will not give up hope even in the face of great difficulties.

As night fell, Bai Hanchuan and I stood on the observation deck of the planting base, looking at the sunset in the distance. The sunset glowed like fire, dyeing the sky a brilliant red, as if foreshadowing that the planting base, which had experienced the baptism of wind and rain, would usher in a more glorious tomorrow.

"Hanchuan, you say..." I turned to look at Bai Hanchuan, wanting to say something but stopping myself.

He gently put his arm around my shoulders, his eyes deep: "What's wrong?"

"I always feel..." I frowned slightly, "This fire doesn't seem to be an accident..."

"You mean, it's man-made?" Bai Hanchuan's eyes darkened, and his tone was a little sharp.

I nodded slightly, and some details before the fire emerged in my mind. That evening, I vaguely remembered seeing a sneaky figure near the warehouse, but I didn't pay much attention to it at the time. Now I think that person might be the arsonist.

"I'll find out." Bai Hanchuan said firmly, hugging me tighter. "Don't worry, I will protect you and the base."

I leaned on his shoulder, and a warm feeling welled up in my heart. Yes, no matter how many storms there are ahead, I am no longer afraid, because I know that he will always be by my side and fight side by side with me.

The sunset gradually faded, and the night enveloped the earth. The planting base seemed particularly quiet in the night. We returned to the office, and Lin Xiao was waiting for us anxiously.

"Sister Jinli, are you okay?" Lin Xiao was relieved to see that I was safe and sound. "I heard that the warehouse was on fire. I was scared to death!"

"I'm fine, I'm fine now." I smiled and patted her shoulder. "Thanks to everyone's efforts, the fire was quickly brought under control."

"That's good, that's good." Lin Xiao patted his chest. "By the way, I heard from the firefighters that the cause of the fire is unknown. It is very likely to be arson..."

Her voice became lower and lower, and she seemed to realize the seriousness of the matter.

I nodded and told her what Bai Hanchuan and I had guessed. After listening to this, Lin Xiao was immediately filled with righteous indignation: "This is too much! Who is so cruel that he actually wants to burn down our base!"

"Don't worry, I'll check it out." Bai Hanchuan said calmly, "The most important thing now is to resume production as soon as possible. We can't let this fire affect the normal operation of the base."

In the next few days, we were busy dealing with the aftermath of the fire while secretly investigating the truth of the arson. Bai Hanchuan used his connections and finally found some clues that pointed to one of our competitors...

A few days later, we received an invitation to an industry exchange meeting.

"Could this be the Hongmen Banquet?" I looked at the invitation in my hand, feeling a little uneasy.

Bai Hanchuan's face was calm, but there was a gleam of light in his eyes: "Go and see and you will know."

He held my hand, the warmth of his palm conveying strength to me. I took a deep breath and nodded.

If it is a blessing, it is not a disaster. If it is a disaster, it is inevitable. If it comes, then accept it.
