Rebirth 70: I am a Koi

Late at night, the sea breeze was fierce, like a sharp knife scraping my face. I wrapped my coat tightly, crouched and followed behind Bai Hanchuan, using the cover of the container to grope deep into the dock. In the distance, under the dim light, several figures swayed, and I could vaguely hear their low voices, mixed with a few stiff Chinese sentences, they were urging the transaction.

"Are you ready?" I heard the deep and serious voice of Interpol in my headset.

"Everything is ready." I took a deep breath, tried to calm my nervous mood, and replied in a low voice.

"action!"

Following the order, the Interpol officers lying in ambush rushed out like a tiger descending from a mountain, surrounding the defenseless European flower merchants. The sudden change made those people panic and flee in all directions, but it was all in vain.

"You are under arrest!" Interpol showed his ID and shouted in fluent English.

The dock was in chaos, with shouts, struggles, and pleas for mercy. The originally carefully planned transaction scene was instantly turned into a mess. I looked at all this, and my heart was filled with the joy of victory, but I also knew that this was just the beginning.

In order to thoroughly expose the crimes of the European flower merchants, Bo Hanchuan and I held a press conference with the support of Interpol. Facing the many reporters below the stage, I took a deep breath and told everyone everything we had experienced during this period, as well as the conspiracy of the European flower merchants. Although my voice was a little trembling, my tone was firm and powerful, and every word struck people's hearts.

At the same time, our children also stood up bravely. On the podium of the school, they shared their growth experience in the planting base, as well as their persistence and courage in the face of difficulties during this period. The children's tender voices were full of power and moved everyone present.

For a time, public opinion was in an uproar, and all walks of life strongly condemned the bad behavior of European flower merchants and expressed support and encouragement to our family. Looking at all this, my heart is full of hope. I know that justice will eventually defeat evil and light will eventually dispel darkness.

After the press conference, Lin Xiao rushed to my side. She looked excited, with excitement in her eyes. "Jinli, I found the key evidence!"

Lin Xiao waved the document bag in his hand excitedly, "I found their tax loophole! Interpol has submitted the information to the relevant departments, they can't get away!"

I excitedly held Lin Xiao's hand, "That's great! Thanks so much to you, Lin Xiao!" After so many days of hard work, I finally saw the light of day.

"Don't forget me, this list is my credit!" A hearty voice came from behind. We turned around and saw that it was the retired gardening master, who was looking at us with a smile.

"Why are you here?" I hurriedly went to meet him. "You are our great hero!" He handed me a list. "These are the colleagues I have contacted these days. They all expressed their willingness to join the ranks of boycotting European flower merchants. I believe there will be results soon."

I took the list, my heart filled with gratitude, "Thank you! You have done so much for us..."

"Jinli, you and Hanchuan are both good kids. I believe that justice will eventually triumph over evil." He patted my hands and said kindly, "I'm old now, and this is all I can do. From now on, it's up to you."

After seeing the old man off, Lin Xiao and I returned to the office. Looking at the rising sun outside the window, I was filled with hope. We have won a phased victory in this battle, but we cannot relax, because the real test has just begun.

"Lin Xiao," I turned to look at Lin Xiao, with a determined light in my eyes, "It's time to let everyone know that our planting base is not only about growing flowers..."

The morning sun shines all over the planting base, giving every flower a golden edge. I stand in front of the office window, watching the busy figures of the workers, and my heart is filled with hope and strength.

"Jinli, have you read today's newspaper?" Lin Xiao rushed into the office excitedly with the newspaper in his hand. "The affairs of the European flower merchant have been exposed! Now everyone knows how he defrauded growers and how he maliciously manipulated the market!"

I took the newspaper and saw the headline on the front page: "The dark side of the flower market is exposed. Interpol jointly cracked a major economic crime case." I couldn't help but smile slightly. Justice may be late, but it will never be absent.

"Great! Justice has finally been served!" I said excitedly, "Lin Xiao, notify everyone that all employees will have a day off today to celebrate our initial victory!"

"Okay!" Lin Xiao responded happily, turned around and ran out to inform everyone.

As soon as the holiday announcement came out, the entire planting base was in an uproar, and the workers' faces were filled with joyful smiles. I watched them cheering and jumping for joy, and my heart was filled with emotion. Although we have achieved a phased victory in this battle, we cannot relax because there is still a long way to go.

In the following days, Bai Hanchuan and I led the staff of the planting base to carry out a series of public welfare activities. We went into the community to send flowers and warmth to the lonely elderly; we went to the school to explain the knowledge of flower planting to the children, so that they could establish the awareness of protecting the environment from an early age.

Our actions have been widely recognized and praised by all sectors of society, and the social image of the planting base has been greatly improved. More and more companies and individuals are choosing to cooperate with us, and the order volume has gradually recovered.

In the evening, Bai Hanchuan and I stood side by side in the sea of ​​flowers at the planting base, looking into the distance. The afterglow of the setting sun shone on us, stretching our shadows extraordinarily long.

"After going through so much, we finally made it through." Bai Hanchuan held my hand and said softly.

I turned to look at him, my eyes full of gratitude and love, "Yes, thanks to you for always being by my side, supporting me and encouraging me."

"Silly boy, we are husband and wife, we should stick together through thick and thin." Bai Hanchuan touched my head lovingly.

We smiled at each other, our hearts filled with hope and longing for the future. At this moment, the sound of a cell phone ringing broke the silence...

…I took out my cell phone and it was an unfamiliar number.

"Hey?"

"Boss Mu, long time no see." A cold voice came from the other end of the phone, which made me feel creepy instantly.

It was that European Chinese businessman! My heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and my hand holding the phone could not help but tighten.

"What do you want to do?" I tried to keep my voice calm, but I knew he must have heard the nervousness in my tone.

"Nothing, I just want to tell you that the game has just begun." He smiled grimly, "Do you think you have won? Let me tell you, as long as I want, I can put your planting base in trouble again at any time."

He hung up the phone, leaving behind a creepy busy tone. My heart sank suddenly, and a chill ran from the soles of my feet to the top of my head.

"What's wrong? Who is calling?" Bai Hanchuan noticed something was wrong with me and asked with concern.

I told him what had happened on the phone, and his expression turned serious.

"Don't worry. We are no longer the people who were at the mercy of others." Bai Hanchuan held my hand tightly, giving me strength. "We will protect ourselves and our planting base."

I nodded and tried to calm myself down. I knew that although the European Chinese businessman had been brought to justice, there must be a bigger force behind him. This battle is not over yet, we must always remain vigilant and be prepared for the next storm.

"Dad, Mom, look, what is this?"

The children's cheerful laughter interrupted my thoughts. I saw that they were holding a pot of blooming roses in their hands. The petals were a gradient blue color that I had never seen before, shining brightly in the sunset.

"This is..." I widened my eyes in surprise. This pot of blue roses looks exactly like...

"It seems that our good days are really coming..." Bai Hanchuan looked at the pot of roses and a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

My heart was shocked. Could it be...
