No wonder Qin Shi spent money so lavishly without any fear; it turns out someone had been sending her money all along.
The reason she targeted the second wife was because someone was behind it.
Everything makes sense now; it wasn't just a simple case of love turning into hatred towards her second uncle.
But who exactly did the second wife offend?
She was just a destitute legitimate daughter who never left the house. Her second uncle had long since stopped concerning himself with court affairs, her second aunt and grandmother were always kind to others, and as for Xiao Yuan, who was sickly for many years, it was even less likely that he would cause trouble.
I really can't understand why the person behind this is targeting them.
This matter is too unusual; she must investigate it thoroughly.
Of course, now that we know Qin has malicious intentions, we must be more vigilant in the future.
She waited for another 15 minutes to make sure no one else came before heading to the lakeside to summon Ji Minxiu.
"Squeak~ Hmm~ Squeak~"
However, as soon as they got close, they heard a faint, peculiar chirping sound.
She instinctively raised her flashlight and shone it over, discovering three strange, large fish stranded on the shore.
They have spindle-shaped bodies, long and narrow mouths, triangular dorsal fins, light blue-gray backs, and white bellies.
The fish was covered in snow, and she initially tried to ignore it, but its weak, pleading cries made her feel sorry for it.
Finally, she went back to help them sweep away the snow and then tried to push them back into the water.
However, they were simply too big, weighing about three or four hundred pounds, and could not be moved at all.
She was extremely anxious, and suddenly thought of Ji Minxiu; perhaps he had a solution!
He then took out the safety buckle and summoned him.
"Splash..."
Caught off guard, Ji Minxiu stepped into the water. The icy coldness seeped into his leather shoes, making him shiver and leaving him somewhat dazed.
"Lord Snow Demon, do you think there's any way to save them?" Before he could react, Yun Zhourong shouted at him.
Ji Minxiu noticed the three large creatures at his feet, and his pupils constricted. "They're actually Baiji dolphins!"
"So its name is Baiji dolphin!"
Yun Zhou nodded knowingly, then asked anxiously, "Lord Snow Demon, do you have a way to save it?"
"Let me check on them first."
Ji Minxiu stepped forward to examine them and frowned, saying, "These Baiji dolphins are already injured. Even if they are released back into the lake, they may not survive. The best approach is to provide them with professional treatment first."
"Treatment...do we need to find a doctor?" Yun Zhou asked helplessly. "But...but I've never heard of a doctor who can treat the Baiji dolphin!"
At this moment, Ji Minxiu felt the safety buckle was getting slightly warm, so he said, "There is only one way now, which is for me to take them all to the future, where there are specialized rescue personnel."
"That's wonderful! Please take it with you!" Yun Zhourong said immediately.
“I happen to be in Hudouzhou in Haishi. It only takes five minutes to get there. Summon me in ten minutes,” Ji Minxiu instructed after checking the time.
Hudouzhou is an alluvial island in the Yangtze River Delta, and it is also a place where the Baiji dolphin once lived, so it is quite reasonable for it to appear here.
“Okay, I understand!” Yun Zhourong nodded.
Ji Minxiu had originally arranged to have dinner with General Manager Chen, who was in charge of the Shangyang District project. After returning to the private room, he took out the lotus bowl and let him appreciate it first, then quickly ran towards the Hu Douzhou waterside.
Assistant Lin tried to catch up but couldn't.
Panting, I ran to the water's edge, found a suitable spot, and called the police station to report that three stranded baiji dolphins had been found on Hu Dou Zhou Island.
"What, you're serious?"
Upon hearing this, the police officer stood up abruptly, "Are you sure it's a baiji dolphin and not a finless porpoise? You're not mistaken?"
That creature had been declared functionally extinct, and the officers simply couldn't believe it would reappear, let alone three of them at once!
Could it be that they've mistaken it for a Yangtze finless porpoise?
“I’m sure it’s a Baiji dolphin, and even if it were a Yangtze finless porpoise stranded, wouldn’t you still need to send people over for rescue?” Ji Minxiu said. “There’s no harm in you coming over.”
"Yes, you're right. Then please splash some water on them, avoiding the breathing holes, to keep them moist. We'll be there right away."
After the officer finished speaking, he immediately contacted the relevant departments and rushed to the scene for rescue.
The moment the call ended, Ji Minxiu was summoned back to the Great Sheng Dynasty.
He used a rope he bought along the way to simply tie the three baiji dolphins together, and then said to Yun Zhourong, "Sorry, it will take a while, probably about two hours."
"It's alright, there's still plenty of time. I can go back and wait. Saving the Baiji dolphin is the priority!" Yun Zhourong looked at Ji Minxiu, her eyes sparkling as if filled with countless stars.
Ji Minxiu looked slightly disheveled; his suit was disheveled from running, his hair was messy, and his forehead was covered in sweat.
But it is precisely this concern for life that makes his originally aloof image more human and relatable.
Yun Zhourong felt that Ji Minxiu was more attractive now than she had ever seen before!
“Okay, thank you for your trouble. Bringing these baiji dolphins back will surely make the Chinese people very happy.” Ji Minxiu smiled and nodded at Yun Zhourong.
Then, it disappeared along with the baiji dolphin.
When they reappeared, the three baiji dolphins were in shallow water, so they didn't have to worry about being drowned. In addition, it was still autumn in China and the temperature was relatively high, so their condition quickly stabilized.
"Boss, what are you doing here... Oh my god... This... This looks a lot like the legendary extinct Baiji dolphin!"
Assistant Lin finally found Ji Minxiu, and when he saw the three baiji dolphins in front of him, he rubbed his eyes in disbelief.
“That’s right, it’s the baiji dolphin. Go buy two buckets and help water them,” Ji Minxiu said.
"Okay, I'll go right away!"
Lin was so excited to receive a definite response that he immediately started running at full speed.
After that, the two of them poured water on the baiji dolphin together.
Watching Ji Minxiu diligently watering the baiji dolphin, Assistant Lin thought he was incredibly handsome and couldn't resist secretly taking out his phone to record a video.
"What are you doing?" However, Ji Minxiu quickly discovered it.
"N-nothing, just checking a message, hehe!" Assistant Lin dared not make any more small movements and quickly and seriously started splashing water.
He knew that Ji Minxiu hated being photographed.
The two didn't have to wait long before the police and rescue team arrived.
The loud sirens attracted a large crowd of onlookers.
When it was learned that the baiji dolphin had reappeared, it caused an instant sensation.
With such a huge influx of traffic, people naturally wouldn't miss the opportunity. They all set up their filming equipment and followed the entire rescue process, which can be said to have skyrocketed to the top of the trending searches at lightning speed.
As for the three baiji dolphins, after expert evaluation, they were indeed not in good condition and needed to be taken back for treatment for a period of time before a decision was made on whether to release them back into the wild.
