Rebirth 70: I am a Koi

The moment I signed the loan agreement, I felt the burden on my shoulders become heavier, and at the same time, I felt a nameless anger. Who is it? How dare they threaten us with such a despicable means!

Bai Hanchuan patted my hand soothingly, his eyes firm: "Don't worry, we will fight back if an enemy comes. We are upright and have nothing to fear. They dare not do anything to us."

"But..." I looked at him worriedly, "Since they dare to do this, they must have something to rely on. We can't let our guard down."

At this moment, an unfamiliar number appeared on Bai Hanchuan's mobile phone screen. He picked up the phone, and after a few brief "hmm"s, his face became solemn.

"What's wrong?" I asked anxiously.

Bai Hanchuan hung up the phone and said in a deep voice: "Someone has provided us with some clues, and maybe we can find the mastermind behind this."

We followed the instructions on the phone and came to a secluded teahouse. A man wearing a black hat whose face could not be seen was already waiting there. He handed Bai Hanchuan an envelope and a deep voice came from under the brim of his hat: "Here is what you want to know, be careful."

After saying that, he stood up and left, disappearing into the crowd as if he had never appeared.

There was only a photo in the envelope, and the person in the photo turned out to be the CEO of the rival company that we had defeated together before - Zhao Dehai!

"How could it be him? Hasn't he already..." I was so surprised that I couldn't speak.

Bai Hanchuan's face was also terribly gloomy: "It seems that we were too merciful at the beginning and did not kill them all, which led to the disaster today!"

We finally understood that this threatening phone call was just the beginning. The remaining forces of Zhao Dehai did not give up. They hid in the dark, waiting for an opportunity to retaliate.

An invisible war is about to begin, and we are ready to fight. I took a deep breath, with a determined light in my eyes, and said to Bai Hanchuan: "We can't just sit there and wait for death, we must take the initiative to attack!"

Bai Hanchuan nodded, a fierce look flashed in his eyes: "This time, we will uproot them completely!"

Bai Hanchuan crumpled the photo into a ball and said coldly: "Zhao Dehai, since you want to play, we will accompany you to the end!"

We followed the clues in the envelope and tracked to an abandoned factory on the outskirts of the city. The night enveloped the dilapidated factory, exuding a gloomy atmosphere. I held Bai Hanchuan's hand tightly, my palms full of cold sweat.

"Be careful, the situation may be more complicated than we thought." Bai Hanchuan reminded in a low voice.

We crouched down and carefully sneaked into the factory under the weak moonlight. The air was filled with a pungent musty smell that made people want to cover their mouths and noses.

Suddenly, a chaotic sound of footsteps came from deep within the factory, accompanied by a few rude curses.

"Damn it, where did that kid go? Search for him, even if you have to dig deep into the ground!"

My heart tightened. It seemed that we had alerted the enemy!

"Are they looking for someone?" I asked in a low voice.

Bai Hanchuan nodded solemnly and motioned for me to continue observing.

We quietly moved to where the sound came from, and through a hole in the wall, we saw several ferocious-looking men beating a young man who was tied to a chair.

"Stop! Who are you? Why are you arresting him?" I couldn't help but rush out, but was stopped by Bai Hanchuan.

"Don't be impulsive!" He whispered, "We don't know their details yet. Any rash action will only alert them."

Just then, one of the men noticed us. He smiled evilly and waved his hand, and the others immediately surrounded us.

"Hey, isn't this Mr. Bai and Manager Mu? What rare guests!" The leading man said sarcastically, his tone full of mockery.

Only then did I see clearly that the person who spoke was Zhao Dehai in the photo! He was still alive?!

"Zhao Dehai, how dare you show up!" I said angrily.

"Hmph, why shouldn't I dare show up? You two dogs have brought me to this point. I will make you pay a heavy price!" Zhao Dehai said gritting his teeth, his eyes filled with hatred.

He waved his hand, signaling his men to start. At this critical moment, a black shadow flashed by, followed by several screams, and the men who were originally aggressive fell to the ground in an instant, wailing in pain.

"Who is it?!" Zhao Dehai shouted in horror.

A familiar figure slowly walked out from the shadows, took off his hat, revealing an angular face.

"It's you..." I covered my mouth in surprise and recognized the person in front of me. It was the mysterious ally who provided us clues in the teahouse before.

He smiled at us and said, "It seems I came at the right time."

Before he finished speaking, sirens blared outside the factory, dazzling lights cut through the night sky, and a group of police quickly rushed into the factory and surrounded Zhao Dehai and others...

Bai Hanchuan walked up to me, held my hand tightly, and said with a hint of fear and relief: "It's okay, everything is over."

I looked into his deep eyes, and an indescribable feeling of emotion welled up in my heart. But before I could speak, he suddenly put his index finger to his lips, signaling me to keep quiet, and then turned his eyes to the window, frowning slightly... I followed Bai Hanchuan's gaze and saw a black car coming in the distance, stopping at the factory door, the door opened, and a familiar figure walked down. It was Lin Xiao, she looked hurried, with an unconcealed anxiety on her face.

"What's wrong, Xiaoxiao, what happened?" I walked forward, my heart inexplicably tightening.

Lin Xiao took a deep breath, tried to calm down, and said, "Jinli, the bank... the loan has been approved! Moreover, the cooperation project has officially started!"

I was stunned for a moment, as if I was hit by a huge surprise. I hadn't reacted yet. The news of the loan approval was like a long-awaited rain, and the launch of the cooperation project was like timely help, which swept away the haze that had originally shrouded the planting base.

"Great!" Bai Hanchuan clenched his fists, his eyes sparkling with joy, "I knew we could get through this!"

It was already late at night when we returned to the planting base. The base was brightly lit and workers were working overnight to sow the newly arrived seeds, with hopeful smiles on their faces.

I looked at the bustling scene in front of me, and my heart was filled with emotion. During this period, we have experienced too many ups and downs, but we never gave up, because we always had hope in our hearts.

"Hanchuan, look." I pointed to a newly reclaimed experimental field not far away, where the new crops we carefully cultivated were planted. "They are growing so well!"

Bai Hanchuan followed my gaze and smiled with satisfaction: "Yes, they are just like our children. They have experienced the baptism of wind and rain and finally broke through the soil and thrived."

We stood side by side on the ridge of the field, looking at the green seedlings in front of us, our hearts filled with hope.

"This time, we really did it," I whispered.

"No, this is just the beginning..." Bai Hanchuan looked at me meaningfully, then bent down and gently stroked the tender leaves of a seedling, with an inexplicable light flashing in his eyes...
