Rebirth 70: I am a Koi

The knock on the door late at night was like a heavy hammer, hitting my already tense nerves. I looked at the stranger in front of me with caution. His tone and demeanor were mysterious and unpredictable.

"Who are you? Why are you telling me this?" I lowered my voice, my mind full of questions.

"It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that I know your current situation and who is behind this." He took out an envelope from his pocket. "It contains evidence that is enough for you to get back on track."

I took the envelope hesitantly. It was thick and seemed to contain a lot of things. I took a deep breath, suppressed the doubts and uneasiness in my heart, and turned to look at Bai Hanchuan. He was standing behind me, frowning, and obviously he was also wary of this uninvited guest.

"Let's take a look." Bai Hanchuan said in a deep voice, with a hint of determination in his tone.

I opened the envelope and found some documents and photos inside, which recorded evidence of how our competitors bribed officials and maliciously suppressed our company and planting bases. The content was detailed and shocking.

I took a deep breath. If these evidences were made public, it would be enough to ruin the reputation of our opponents! But I was still full of doubts. Who was this mysterious man? Why did he help us?

Bai Hanchuan flipped through the documents carefully, his expression becoming more and more serious. He took out his cell phone, dialed a number, whispered a few words, and then hung up the phone, looking at me with a determined look.

"This evidence is enough to prosecute them." He said decisively, "I will arrange for a lawyer to file a lawsuit as soon as possible."

I held his hand tightly, my heart filled with gratitude and admiration. In the most difficult moments, he was always like a mountain, giving me support and strength.

In the next few days, Bai Hanchuan began to prepare the prosecution materials, and I actively cooperated and provided relevant information. Things went smoothly. With the joint efforts of lawyers and the media, the opponent's evil deeds were made public, causing an uproar.

In the end, the court ruled in our favor, and our opponent not only had to compensate for the huge losses, but also had to bear the corresponding legal responsibilities. The storm finally subsided, and our company and planting base also returned to their former vitality.

However, the mysterious man seemed to have evaporated from the face of the earth and never appeared again. His help was like a ray of light that illuminated our darkest moments, but it also left an unsolved mystery.

I stood by the window of the hospital, looking at the bright sunshine outside, my heart full of hope and gratitude.

"Dad, don't worry, everything is over, and we will be fine..." I held my father's hand and said softly.

Suddenly, the door of the ward was pushed open, and the nurse came in with a hint of joy on her face...

"Ms. Mu, all of your father's indicators have stabilized, and his recovery is much better than expected. That's great!" The nurse's face was full of joy, and this smile also infected me, and my heart finally settled down.

Since my father was admitted to the hospital, I have been here almost every day. Watching my father getting thinner and thinner, my heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand, and I could hardly breathe. In order to let me focus on the company and the planting base, Bai Hanchuan took the initiative to take care of my father. He came to the hospital every day to accompany my father, chat with him, read newspapers to him, and made nutritious meals for him that were easy to digest.

With my careful care and Bai Hanchuan's company and encouragement, my father's condition finally took a turn for the better. Watching the color gradually returning to his face, my heart was filled with hope and gratitude.

"Dad, did you hear that? The doctor said you will be discharged from the hospital soon!" I said excitedly, holding my father's hand.

My father smiled weakly, "Okay, okay, let's go home..."

In addition to my father's illness, I was also troubled by my child's school affairs. Since the last parent-teacher conference, I was worried that my child would be hurt by rumors, so I asked the teacher for information.

"Don't worry, Madam Mu." The teacher held my hand and said gently, "We have guided the children and communicated with individual parents. The children are all innocent and kind. I believe your child will be able to integrate into the group soon."

Sure enough, after the child returned home, he had a long-lost smile on his face. "Mom, Xiao Ming invited me to his house today and gave me his toys!"

I touched the child's head with relief, and my heart was finally at ease. The child received understanding and support from teachers and classmates at school, and regained his confidence, which was more important than anything else.

Life seemed to be clearing up, and everything was moving in a good direction. The company and the planting base were back on track, my father's condition was getting better, and my child was happy again.

That day, I received a call from Lin Xiao. Her voice sounded a little choked up, "Jinli, I...my flower shop..."

"Don't be anxious, take your time." I comforted him.

"My flower shop was taken back by the landlord. He said he wanted to raise the rent. I really..."

Before Lin Xiao finished speaking, I interrupted her, "Don't worry, I'll help you!"

After hanging up the phone, I turned to look at Bai Hanchuan who was flipping through the documents...

"What's wrong?" Bai Hanchuan put down the documents and asked with concern. I told him about Lin Xiao's situation, and he thought for a moment, "I can think of a way to deal with the rent, but..." He hesitated.

"Just what?" I demanded.

"Ever since the last incident, the reputation of the flower shop has been affected. Even if it reopens, it will probably be difficult to recover." Bai Hanchuan frowned slightly.

I understand his concerns. The crisis of Lin Xiao Flower Shop is ultimately caused by us. The malicious competition of our rivals has cost us all.

"I will definitely help Lin Xiao." I said firmly, "Not only will I help her keep the flower shop, but I will also help her make her business better!"

Bai Hanchuan looked at me, his eyes full of appreciation and support, "Okay, let's find a solution together."

We worked out a plan overnight and decided to help Lin Xiao find a suitable store first, then renovate it and create a new brand image. At the same time, we also started to rebuild customer trust and launched a series of promotions and new products.

In order to support Lin Xiao, Bai Hanchuan and I mobilized our friends to help her promote the flower shop. Gradually, the flower shop's business began to pick up, customers returned here again, and Lin Xiao finally showed a long-lost smile on her face.

"Jinli, Hanchuan, thank you so much! Without you, I really don't know what I would do..." Lin Xiao held our hands tightly with tears in his eyes.

"We are friends, it's too formal to say these things." I patted the back of her hand and felt really happy for her.

I am extremely pleased to see Lin Xiao's flower shop reopened and doing a booming business. After going through this storm, we all cherish our relationship even more and understand the power of unity and trust even more.

That night, my family of three had dinner with my father. Looking at the sumptuous dishes on the table, my father said with emotion: "You have all grown up and become sensible. I am really pleased..."

I picked up a piece of fish for my father and said with a smile, "Dad, don't worry, we will be fine."

Bai Hanchuan raised his glass, "Dad, I toast you and wish you good health and a long life!"

"Good, good!" The father raised his glass happily, and the whole family was in great joy.

Outside the window, the night is deep, and the moonlight pours down like water, illuminating our happy faces...

Outside the window, the night was deep and the moonlight poured down like water, illuminating our happy faces.

"Dad, please try this soup. I specially asked Hanchuan to buy the ingredients early in the morning." I served a bowl of soup to my father and turned to Bai Hanchuan and blinked, "This is Hanchuan's filial piety."

Bai Hanchuan smiled and shook his head, picking up a piece of pork ribs for me, "You always make fun of me."

The father took a sip of the soup, his face full of satisfaction, "It tastes good, delicious! You two children are really my lucky stars. Since you got married, my life has become more and more comfortable every day!"

Hearing my father's words, Bai Hanchuan and I smiled at each other. Indeed, after going through so many ups and downs, we cherish each other more and cherish the time with our family more.

"Dad, don't worry, we will come back to see you often in the future." I held my father's hand with a firm tone.

"Okay, okay. I feel relieved to see that you are fine." My father patted the back of my hand, and the wrinkles in the corners of his eyes were full of smiles.

After dinner, Bai Hanchuan and I sent my father back to his room to rest. Before leaving, my father suddenly called me, "Jinli, have you and Hanchuan encountered any troubles recently?"

I was stunned for a moment, then smiled and shook my head, "No, Dad, why are you asking this suddenly?"

"Don't hide it from me. Although I'm old, I'm still good." Father sighed, "You guys have been worried lately. How could I not see it?"

I opened my mouth, but I didn't know how to explain. Bai Hanchuan held my hand, gave me a reassuring look, and then said to my father: "Dad, don't worry, we did encounter some problems, but don't worry, we will definitely solve them."

"That's good, that's good." The father nodded. "You are still young, and it is inevitable that you will encounter setbacks in some things, but as long as you work together, there is no difficulty that cannot be overcome."

After seeing my father off, Bai Hanchuan and I returned to the room. I asked with some concern, "Hanchuan, do you think Dad noticed something?"

Bai Hanchuan shook his head. "It shouldn't be. We have been very careful and haven't revealed any flaws."

I sighed, still feeling a little uneasy.

"Don't worry, everything will be fine." Bai Hanchuan hugged me in his arms and patted my back gently.

At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door, followed by a deep voice: "Excuse me, is Ms. Mu Jinli home?"

Bai Hanchuan and I looked at each other, and we both saw confusion in each other's eyes. Who would come to see me at this time?

I walked to the door and opened it, only to see a tall man standing outside. He was wearing a hat with the brim pulled down so low that I couldn't see his face clearly.

"You are..." I asked puzzledly.

The man raised his head, revealing a pair of sharp eyes. "I'm here to give you some information about your competitors..."
