Rebirth 70: I am a Koi

I took a deep breath and clenched the file bag tightly in my hand, my knuckles turned white from the force. Lin Xiao's evidence was a timely rain, helping me to stabilize the situation temporarily, but the forces behind Zhang Hao were intertwined, and it was far from enough to completely overthrow them. As for Bai Hanchuan, what secrets were hidden in the file bag he sent?

I opened the file bag and found an investigation report, which recorded in detail the whole process of the ambush of Bai Hanchuan's unit during a border conflict. The investigation results were shocking. Someone deliberately leaked their route of action, which led to their ambush by the enemy and heavy casualties. The conclusion of the report was that Bai Hanchuan was responsible for the mistakes in command!

How could this happen? Bai Hanchuan is such an excellent soldier, he is a master of strategy and has experienced many battles, how could he make such a low-level mistake? This report is full of loopholes, it is clear that someone deliberately framed him!

I immediately realized that Bai Hanchuan and I were probably facing the same dark force. They wanted to destroy Bai Hanchuan's future and to completely defeat me, and all this was just because we were in someone's way.

I found the address that Bai Hanchuan left. It was a secluded courtyard with many flowers and plants. An old man was watering the flowers under a tree. When he saw me, he put down the kettle and asked with a smile, "You are Jinli, right? I'm Lao Zhao. Hanchuan often mentioned you."

He is Mr. Zhao, an authority in the medicinal materials industry, highly respected, and has a significant influence in the circle. More importantly, he was once the old leader of Bai Hanchuan's father and treated Bai Hanchuan as his own son.

Bai Hanchuan and I told Mr. Zhao the whole story and put the evidence in front of him. After listening, Mr. Zhao's face became extremely solemn. He picked up the investigation report and read it carefully, with a gleam of light in his cloudy eyes.

"Well, what a frame-up! Hanchuan has been upright and brave since he was young, he would never do such a thing!" Old Zhao slammed the table, his tone filled with anger, "Don't worry, I will take care of this matter! I want to see who dares to be so bold and cover up the sky with one hand!"

Mr. Zhao is a man who has experienced many ups and downs. He immediately took action and used his connections and resources to investigate the truth of the matter. He first contacted several old comrades who had a certain status in the army and learned some unknown inside stories. Then, he convened several respected predecessors in the industry and prepared to hold a public hearing to seek justice for me and Bai Hanchuan.

"Don't worry, Jinli girl. With Grandpa Zhao here, no one can bully you!" Grandpa Zhao patted my hand and kindly comforted me. "Tomorrow you will bring your products and technologies to the hearing and let everyone see whether you are as useless as they say!"

I nodded, with a blazing fire in my eyes. I want to make those who framed us pay the price, and I want everyone to know that Bai Hanchuan and I are not fish that can be slaughtered at will!

As night fell, the courtyard was brightly lit. Mr. Zhao was busy in his study, with a determined look on his face...

The morning sun shines into the room through the window, dispelling the chill of the night and illuminating the hope in my heart. Today, I will work with Grandpa Zhao to expose the true colors of Zhang Hao and others and clear my name!

The hearing was packed with people from all walks of life, including experts and scholars in the medicinal materials industry and media reporters. My heart was beating fast and my palms were sweating.

"Jinli, don't be afraid, grandpa is here!" The kind voice of Mr. Zhao sounded in my ears, giving me great encouragement.

I took a deep breath, walked up to the podium, and showed everyone the herbs I had carefully cultivated and the detailed technical information. There was an uproar at first, but then it became quiet, and people's eyes were focused on me, with scrutiny and curiosity.

I began to tell my entrepreneurial story, from the initial hardships to the subsequent breakthroughs, and then to the grievances of being framed. My voice was sometimes firm and sometimes choked, and every word was heartfelt and deeply touching.

After I finished speaking, there was thunderous applause from the audience. I saw many people had tears in their eyes, as they were moved by my sincerity and persistence.

At this moment, Mr. Zhao stood up and announced loudly: "Next, I will show you some evidence to expose how Zhang Hao and others framed loyal people for personal gain!"

Files, photos, and recordings exposed the conspiracy of Zhang Hao and others. They forged evidence, spread rumors, and even bribed relevant personnel in an attempt to completely defeat me and Bai Hanchuan.

The truth was revealed, and there was an uproar at the scene. People were filled with righteous indignation and accused Zhang Hao and others of their despicable behavior. In the end, they were severely punished by the law and paid the due price for their actions.

After the hearing, the sun was shining brightly and the sky was clear blue. I took a deep breath and felt the haze that had been weighing on my heart for many days was swept away.

"Jinli, look..." Old Zhao pointed to a place not far away with a gratified smile on his face.

I followed his gaze and saw… I followed his gaze and saw Bai Hanchuan standing outside the crowd with a relieved smile on his face. The afterglow of the setting sun shone on him, giving him a golden halo, making him look particularly warm and reliable.

Seeing me looking at him, Bai Hanchuan strode towards me. He walked in front of me, gently hugged me, and said in a deep voice in my ears: "It's okay, everything is over."

I hugged him tightly and buried my head in his chest, feeling his strong heartbeat. Tears blurred my eyes again, but this time, they were tears of happiness.

After the hearing, my planting base received more attention and support. Many herbal medicine merchants came to me on their own initiative, hoping to cooperate with me. As a result, my business has been booming.

A year later, with the witness of relatives and friends, I held a grand wedding with Bai Hanchuan. On that day, I wore a white wedding dress, held my father's hand, and walked step by step towards the other side of happiness.

"Jinli, are you willing to marry Mr. Bai Hanchuan? Whether rich or poor, sick or healthy, are you willing to love him, care for him, respect him, accept him, and be loyal to him forever until the end of your life?"

I looked at the man in front of me who loved me deeply, his eyes were full of affection and expectation, and my heart was filled with happiness and emotion.

"I……"
