Rebirth 70: I am a Koi

My heart was beating like a drum, and I clutched the intercom tightly, my knuckles turning white. "What's going on? Who surrounded you?"

"Li's opponents! They have weapons in their hands..." Detective Lin's voice stopped abruptly, replaced by a noisy shouting and fighting sounds.

My eyes went dark and I almost fainted. Bai Hanchuan, you must be safe!

I stumbled out the door, not knowing where to go or what to do.

He could only pace back and forth helplessly in the yard, repeatedly calling Detective Lin, but no one answered.

As time passed, my heart became heavier. Could it be... Could it be that something really happened to Bai Hanchuan?

Just when I was about to despair, a police car came roaring and stopped at the gate of the base.

The car door opened, and Bai Hanchuan and Detective Lin got out of the car. Both of them were injured, but they seemed to be in good spirits.

I ran over and hugged Bai Hanchuan, "Are you okay? You scared me to death!"

He patted my back gently and said, "I'm fine, just a minor injury. The evidence has been handed over to the police."

Detective Lin added: "Thanks to Judge Zhang's timely arrival, we were rescued."

Only then did I notice that the man in uniform who got out of the police car was Judge Zhang.

"Ms. Mu, don't worry. Justice may be late, but it will never be absent." Judge Zhang's firm tone gave me great comfort.

What follows is a lengthy trial process.

Accountant Chen bravely testified in court and exposed the evil deeds of Li's opponent.

Her testimony, combined with the evidence obtained by Bai Hanchuan, left Li's opponent's lawyer speechless.

However, Li's opponent seemed to be well prepared, and his lawyer made some seemingly powerful rebuttals in court, bringing the case to a stalemate.

In the gallery, supporters of Li's opponent whispered to each other and looked at me with mockery and disdain.

My heart was in suspense again. If we couldn't completely defeat our opponent Li, the future of the base and everyone would still be in danger.

At this time, Detective Lin came close to my ear and whispered, "Jinli, I..."

Detective Lin leaned close to my ear and lowered his voice very low: "Jinli, I found Li's account book! It records all his illegal transactions." My heart almost stopped, I couldn't believe my ears.

This is quite a twist!

I took a deep breath and tried to keep myself calm.

"Are you sure it's true? Is the evidence conclusive?" Detective Lin nodded firmly, "It's absolutely true! I found his former accountant, who is willing to testify in court."

The situation in the following trial changed suddenly.

Li's opponent's expression changed from initial smugness to increasingly embarrassment, as if he had swallowed a fly.

His lawyer kept wiping his sweat, and beads of sweat the size of beans appeared on his forehead.

In the gallery, those supporters who had been so arrogant fell silent, and the atmosphere was so solemn that it was suffocating.

Fighter Li glared at me fiercely, his eyes full of hatred, as if he wanted to eat me alive.

I stared back at him fearlessly, feeling a huge sense of satisfaction well up in my heart.

In the end, Judge Zhang ruled against Li's opponent and imposed a huge fine.

I breathed a sigh of relief, feeling like a huge rock pressing on my heart had finally fallen to the ground.

The base is saved!

we won!

Walking out of the court, the sun was shining brightly and I felt like I was reborn.

The news of the base's victory spread quickly as if it had wings.

Congratulations came in one after another, and those who once mocked us put on a smiling face.

Just then, a man in a suit and tie with an extraordinary demeanor found us. He introduced himself as Investor Zhao and said he was very interested in our planting base.

"I admire your business philosophy and development model," said Investor Zhao, "I am willing to invest and help you expand the scale of your base." I was stunned. This was simply pie in the sky!

Bai Hanchuan held my hand, and I could feel the warmth and strength of his palm.

He looked at me, his eyes full of anticipation.

I……

I took a deep breath and tried to calm my excitement.

"Mr. Zhao, we appreciate your kindness, but..." I hesitated, "Accepting investment means giving up part of the control. We..."

Bai Hanchuan gently squeezed my hand and gave me an encouraging look.

"Mr. Zhao, we are very grateful for your recognition. We still need to discuss the specific matters of the investment further."

Back in the office, I couldn't suppress my worries any longer. "Hanchuan, I really don't want to accept the investment. What if..."

"What if?" Bai Hanchuan interrupted me with a smile in his eyes.

"What if we lose control of the base? Jinli, I know what you are worried about, but think about it, if we have sufficient funds, the base can grow faster."

"But..." I bit my lip, "I don't want our hard work to be controlled by others."

Bai Hanchuan walked up to me and gently held me in his arms.

"Jinli, I understand your concerns. No matter what decision you make, I support you." His warm breath surrounded me, making me feel extremely at ease.

His words were like a warm current, flowing into my heart and dispelling all the anxiety.

I looked up and looked into his eyes, my heart was filled with emotion. "Hanchuan, thank you."

"Silly boy," Bai Hanchuan smiled gently, "There's no need to say thank you between us."

I leaned on his shoulder, my mind racing.

The appearance of investor Zhao made me see the unlimited possibilities for the development of the base, but it also made me realize that the challenges we face have just begun.

A bold idea gradually became clear in my mind...

"Hanchuan," I raised my head with a firm gaze, "I want to accept part of Mr. Zhao's investment." I took a deep breath and continued, "but not just to solve the current dilemma." There was a gleam in my eyes, depicting the blueprint that was gradually becoming clear in my mind.

"I want to develop our base and make it a well-known planting base in the country and even the world!"

Bai Hanchuan was stunned for a moment, and then the same light appeared in his eyes.

He held my hand tightly and said firmly, "Jinli, I believe in you! Let's work hard together!"

In the next few days, we had many consultations with Mr. Zhao and finally determined the investment plan.

On the day of signing the contract, I felt that what I was holding in my hand was not just a document, but a heavy responsibility.

After receiving the investment, we immediately started the renovation and expansion plan of the base.

Bai Hanchuan was responsible for planning and design, and I was responsible for coordination and supervision.

We are very busy every day, but we are full of energy inside.

Seeing the base getting better day by day, all our previous fatigue was swept away.

However, just when we thought everything was going according to plan, an unexpected problem arose.

That day, I was discussing the progress of the construction with the person in charge of the construction team. Suddenly, a strange middle-aged man barged in and said in a rude tone: "Who are you? Why are you working here?"

I was stunned for a moment, then I realized that he should be from this land...
