Chapter 246: Full Control of Marine Animals

The wildlife protection team brought Taohua up with a rope, and then Si Ran, Song Zhi and Lin Sui Ye got on the plane, and the rest of them went back by boat.

The round trip took less than two hours, and by the time Taohua was sent to the nearest protection station's operating room, her various skills had become very weak.

But fortunately, this place is close to the coast, and the local medical team is very good at handling such things.

When Taohua was brought onto the plane, Si Ran, Lin Sui Ye and others were already exhausted physically and mentally, so she was just assisting in this operation.

Taohua's operation went smoothly. During the seven-hour operation, the surgeon removed all the marine debris from her stomach and intestines, and then placed her in the animal ICU for observation.

It was already three o'clock in the morning of the next day when Si Ran came out of the operating room.

The wildlife protection team couldn't help much and were all waiting outside.

Seeing Si Ran coming out, everyone stood up.

Pei Yu hadn't left yet. Seeing Si Ran's lips were pale, he quickly took out a piece of chocolate from his suit pocket and said, "Ran Ran, are you okay? Eat some chocolate to fill your stomach. I'll ask my assistant to bring some food over now."

Wildlife Protection Team: ...

Do we need to treat them differently?

They also stayed here for several hours without eating or drinking, but President Pei didn't say anything at all.

The wildlife protection team's gaze fell on Pei Yu.

Pei Yu acted as if he didn't see it, and handed the chocolate over eagerly, waiting for Si Ran to eat it.

Si Ran didn't have the energy to look at everyone's eyes. After saying thank you, he opened the chocolate package, took a bite, and then explained Taohua's current situation.

Taohua needs someone to watch over her at night. After all, the most dangerous time is after the operation. If you are not careful, you may get a fever and various symptoms.

However, there are so many staff members at the rescue station, so Si Ran doesn't need to worry too much.

"Everyone, have a good night's rest. Tomorrow at noon, have Director Hao and the relevant persons in charge come to the conference room. I have something to ask them in person."

Lin Suiye knew what Si Ran was going to ask, so he nodded and said, "I'll take care of it."

After they returned to the dormitory, Pei Yu ordered food for everyone. After eating a few bites together, perhaps because he was really busy, he left without saying anything.

After dinner, Si Ran simply washed up and lay down on the bed. He closed his eyes and fell asleep in a few breaths.

I slept for eight hours and didn't wake up until noon the next day.

Even if Ruan Qingyue and Ji Zhishi hadn't come knocking on her door, she might have to sleep for two or three hours before she was fully awake.

After Si Ran changed her clothes, she saw Ruan Qingyue and Ji Zhishi, two lively guys, standing in front of her.

Seeing Si Ran get up, Ruan Qingyue said, "Sister Ran, Taohua is awake and seems to be looking for you now."

When Si Ran heard this, he returned to his room and said, "I'll pack up Ma Shan and go over."

Both of them were male friends, so they quietly closed the door and stood at the corridor entrance playing with their mobile phones.

Si Ran came out in less than ten minutes, with a hint of the scent of shower gel on her body.

People in this line of work always race against time no matter what they do.

Si Ran said, "Come on, follow me and take a look."

When Si Ran arrived, Lin Suiye, Song Zhi, Zhang Mingyi and Qiu Chi were already at the door.

Seeing Si Ran coming, they quickly surrounded him.

Song Zhi asked with concern: "How did you sleep?"

Si Ran nodded: "I've rested well. How is Taohua now?"

"After waking up, she kept groaning. I don't know if it was because of the pain from the wound or what. But the attending doctor yesterday said that she had been given a pain pump. Most animals wouldn't make noises, but Taohua was getting more and more agitated just now, so we guessed that Taohua wanted to see you and had something to say to you." Lin Suiye explained.

Upon hearing this, Si Ran put on protective clothing, disinfected his entire body, and walked into the animal ICU observation room.

Taohua heard the sound and smelled a familiar scent, and immediately looked over.

There was a scar as thick as an arm stitched on its body, making it look extremely ferocious. At this moment, it was swimming slowly in the water.

"Man, you're here!"

Taohua's tone was very excited. If it weren't for the pain in the wound, it would have wanted to use its tail as a propeller.

Si Ran: "Taohua, I heard you were looking for me."

"Who is Taohua?"

Si Ran explained: "Taohua is the name given to you by humans."

Taohua understood, and it said that in the past there were always a group of people coming down from some boats, and they always liked to point at it and call out "Taohua Taohua".

Seeing Taohua thoughtful, Si Ran said, "Taohua, you are a healthy female dolphin. Why do you eat so much ocean garbage?"

As Si Ran spoke, she thought of the foreign body that was removed yesterday. They weighed it after the operation and found that there were a full ten kilograms of undigested marine debris!

Dolphins are not fools. If it was just a little, it would be fine. But it is unbelievable that Taohua ate so much at once.

Taohua was stunned by the question.

Then it said: "Humans are competing with us for food, so we are often hungry sometimes, and... and I do this for my son."

"Son?" Si Ran was stunned, but then he thought, the scientific expedition team has been tracking Taohua for five years, and it is impossible for a dolphin of this age not to have given birth.

"What happened to your son?" Si Ran asked, "Where is your son now?"

Taohua suddenly became excited and hurriedly explained, "I asked you to come here because I wanted you to help my son. A month ago, my son's mouth was broken by the propeller of a human ship. He can't eat, so I can only look for food everywhere for him. I... I didn't know it was marine garbage."

It thinks that anything it can swallow into its mouth must be edible.

After hearing Taohua's words, Si Ran fell silent.

Then she quickly asked, "So your son is missing? Is he also in the same sea area where you had the accident?"

Taohua nodded. "My son is only a few months old. Since his lower jaw was broken, he can't open his mouth anymore. I separated from him because a big ship suddenly came by. He was afraid of the propeller and ran away. I wanted to chase him, but I didn't catch up."

After saying that, Taohua started crying.

To outsiders, it sounds like the mournful cries of fish.

Si Ran quickly said, "Don't worry, I will go back to find your child as soon as possible. You just stay here and recover. If we can find your son, we will also help solve his jaw problem."

Even white tigers can have prosthetic limbs, let alone a prosthetic mouth for a dolphin.

Si Ran comforted Taohua and went out.

Director Hao was also standing at the door at this time, with his head lowered and his eyes pleasing to the eye.

Even though his status is much higher than Si Ran's, the problem is that he has no idea where Si Ran comes from. Si Ran has absolute authority over people like them!

Now even if the director comes, he has to stand aside in front of Si Ran.

As a small director, he could only hunch over and try his best not to make Si Ran angry.

otherwise……

Director Hao seemed to have thought of something, and a flattering smile instantly appeared on his round face.

Si Ran glanced at Director Hao and said, "Don't look at me like that. I have to go out to sea later. Director Hao, please prepare the boat, and..."

Si Ran paused and continued, "Due to your department's irregular operations, I will take full control of the marine animals from now on. I will take away any fish that are no longer suitable for living in the ocean."

Director Hao's face was full of surprise.

Take them all away?

How much does this cost?

And after all of them are taken away, the funding allocated to them will definitely be less.

Director Hao's mind raced as Si Ran continued, "And I'll report your issues to the Environmental Protection Headquarters upon my return from the sea. I remind you, Director Hao, to have the bills for your marine life purchases ready. If I find any issues with the bills or your daily operations, I'll definitely bring trouble to everyone in your department."

When the time comes, you will be removed from your position and go to jail when the time comes.

Sure enough, Si Ran’s words made Director Hao’s head buzz.

Director Hao quickly said, "We are all legal and compliant. How, how could there be a problem?"

Although he said this, Director Hao's forehead was already covered in cold sweat.

The pressure exerted by Si Ran when he spoke was extremely great.

Si Ran acted as if he hadn't noticed. "We'll know if there are any problems after we investigate. The inspection team won't let a bad guy go, nor will they wrongly accuse a good person. We must trust the country's judgment."

Si Ran's eyes flickered with light as he said calmly, "Don't you agree, Director Hao?"
