Marriage is long and desires are strong

Jiang Wei sighed: "Save them. It's free."

The hawksbill turtle let out a weak "meow," its voice trembling, as if in pain.

Jiang Wei asked, "But once it's healed, can you keep it?"

The girl blinked, tears streaming down her face, and said, "I'll try to persuade my mother."

Jiang Wei sighed again: "Then let's go back and try to persuade them."

"It needs surgery, and it will be very late. Don't wait, come back in a couple of days."

The girl wiped away her tears: "Dr. Jiang, thank you. My name is Ding Yi. I'll come see Miaomiao in a couple of days."

We've chosen a name, it's Miaomiao.

Jiang Wei asked, "Where exactly did you see Miaomiao?"

Ding Yi wiped his eyes with the back of his hand and pointed to the side: "There are bushes over there, not many people around. There's a trash can nearby, and it's right next to the trash can. There's blood all over the ground."

Jiang Wei was in a hurry to have surgery, so she nodded to her and said, "I understand."

The X-ray results are in.

There are several small, round scars on the skin at the site of the fracture in the left forelimb, caused by cigarette burns.

There is a healed linear scar on my right hind leg, which was caused by a sharp weapon.

Three ribs were fractured.

Jiang Wei closed her eyes and endured the pain before preparing for the surgery.

"Xiao Zhou, prepare the orthopedic kit, mini bone plates, and Kirschner wires. Induce anesthesia with propofol, maintain with isoflurane. Administer preoperative analgesia, including butorphanol. And..."

She paused for a moment.

"Turn the heater up to the maximum. It's too thin; it can't handle it."

The surgery lasted three hours, followed by a three-hour post-operative observation period.

They finally rescued the hawksbill turtle and brought it out of danger.

Jiang Wei wiped away her sweat, her tense mood easing considerably.

It's getting late.

Jiang Wei picked up the phone and called Zhang Ma: "Zhang Ma, I won't be home for dinner tonight, the hospital is too busy."

Aunt Zhang hesitated for a moment: "I'll save some food for you; you can have it as a midnight snack if you get hungry."

Jiang Wei whispered, "It will be very late."

Aunt Zhang said worriedly, "Okay, then you must eat on time."

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Wei looked up and saw Luo Xue staring at her.

Luo Xue's voice tightened: "You're planning to go?"

Jiang Wei nodded calmly: "Mm."

Luo Xue: "It will be dangerous. I'll go with you."

Jiang Wei: "Didn't you have an appointment with investors from your charity foundation tonight?"

Luo Xue: "The chances are slim, but we'll give it a try."

"Don't worry, I'll figure out a way to get the funding."

Jiang Wei's voice was calm and low: "Xuexue, I'm sorry."

Luo Xue retorted angrily, "What are you apologizing for? What's it to you?"

"You're a victim too, so why are you always apologizing? What gives you the right?"

Jiang Wei lowered her eyes: "But because of me, our hospital is facing financial difficulties."

"If this can't be resolved, we'll have to close the hospital. This is all your hard work."

"Originally, many people were willing to donate to the hospital for charity. But after my true background was revealed, they all withdrew their funding. And we've been putting money into it all the time..."

Jiang Wei put all her money into the pet hospital.

Luo Xue glared angrily: "We'll think of a way. If not, then..."

She whispered, "Reduce aid..."

"We could have made money."

Luo Xue suddenly looked up and patted Jiang Wei: "Anyway, it has nothing to do with you. I'll try it tonight."

"Be careful tonight, bring your stun gun."

Jiang Wei nodded lightly: "Yes. Don't worry."

After hesitating for a moment, Luo Xue finally spoke up: "Weiwei, you married Qin Xiaoye to repay the Jiang family for raising you, right? The Jiang family is the one who benefits the most from this marriage."

Jiang Wei paused slightly, then smiled and said, "No. Qin Xiaoye is very handsome."

Luo Xue: "You were already engaged, you were supposed to marry..."

Jiang Wei interrupted, "Xuexue, don't mention it. I'm married now."

Luo Xue sighed softly, "I'll go find a way to make money."

She dressed up and hurriedly left the hospital.

Jiang Wei continued to work on surgeries and post-operative care, and checked on the hospitalized animals.

The night was deeper.

Her face darkened as she walked out of the hospital.

My footsteps were light; I walked quietly nearby, stepping into the grass and blending into the night, making a soft "rustling" sound under my feet.

She went to the bushes pointed to by Ding Yi and squatted quietly for a while, in a secluded and dark place.

A few meows.

Mixed in the sounds of stray cats in heat.

There were also crickets chirping.

A rustling sound.

The man's heavy footsteps immediately alerted Jiang Wei.

She watched from the shadows as a tall, dark man walked into a secluded thicket.

The man meowed sweetly, holding a fish trap, and put a small fish inside.

Jiang Wei swallowed hard, feeling nervous.

A two-month-old black and white calico kitten saw the fish in the cage and meowed softly.

A large black cat emerged, circled the cage, hesitated, and gazed at the fish.

After a while, it reached in with its claws.

I can't reach it.

The little black cat was lying next to me, meowing longingly.

The big black cat hesitated for a moment, then took a step forward to the edge of the cage.

It took another step forward with its paw and went into the cage.

Jiang Wei was more nervous than a cat, silently chanting, "Don't go in, don't go in."

The big black cat carefully moved forward again, bit the small fish with its mouth, and the cage door slammed shut.

"Snap."

The big black cat cried out in panic, "Meow meow," and the little black cat outside the cage vanished in a flash.

There was a small fish in the dark green grass bushes. The big black cat had thrown it out forcefully before closing the cage for the little black cat to eat.

The little fish was bought with my life.

The kitten hid in the grass, gazing longingly at the adult cat, then at the little fish, meowing softly, its eyes glistening with tears. It knew its mother was gone…

Jiang Wei's heart sank.

The man laughed out loud: "Hahaha, I caught him. Too bad the little one got away, I'll catch him next time."

He emerged heavily from the shadows, picked up the trap cage, and the big black cat was terrified.

The man, wearing gloves, reached in, grabbed the big black cat by the neck, and pulled it out, laughing, "How silly."

The big black cat is struggling.

He picked up a wire and wrapped it around the cat's neck: "This wire will sever your esophagus. You won't be able to eat, but you'll live for a few days. Before you die, you'll suffer a fate worse than death. And you, all because of a little fish. An animal is an animal, so stupid."

The man stomped hard on the small fish: "Even if you risk your life, the kitten won't get to eat it."

His hand slowly tightened, the big black cat meowed and struggled, the wire was about to get stuck.

Tears welled up in the big black cat's eyes and streamed down its fur.

Jiang Wei felt her body trembling, feeling angry, furious, and sad.

She stepped out of the shadows, radiating coldness: "What are you doing?"

The man saw Jiang Wei, sized her up, and sneered, "Playing around, huh? What, little girl, want to play with me? If I'm playing with you, I won't play with it anymore, how about that?"

Jiang Wei: "Let it go. Abusing a cat is illegal."

Man: "Tch~ Cats aren't people, how is that illegal?"

"I peeled it, ate it, and nothing happened."

"I'll let you watch it die, watch it plead and howl. Have you ever seen that? It'll feel amazing, little sister~"

"I hold the power of life and death; I am the master of its life. I can do whatever I want to it. I can even take its internal organs out alive."

The man, holding the cat, approached Jiang Wei: "Little sister, play with your brother. You're so pretty and have such a great figure. If you sleep with your brother for one night, I'll let it go."

A black Maybach quietly pulled up to the side of the road.

Inside the car, Qin Xiaoye, dressed in a dark gray striped suit, exuded a calm and aloof air: "Investigate that man."

His gaze fell on Jiang Wei, who was wearing a white T-shirt and jeans, exuding a pure and proud aura. She wore the simple clothes beautifully and elegantly.

Xiang Dong: "Yes."

Seeing the man approach, Jiang Wei didn't move, her aura turning cold: "Let the cat go. If you abuse cats again, you'll die the same way the cat did."

The man chuckled: "I think you're a bit fearless. If I can torment it, I can torment you too. Tormenting you is much more satisfying than tormenting it."

He grabbed the cat and moved closer, while his other hand grabbed Jiang Wei.

Qin Xiaoye placed his hand on the car door, his breathing disordered, just about to push the door open and get out.

A sharp "sizzle" sound rang out, like a thunderclap in the dark night.

The man was startled and loosened his grip. The big black cat darted away, the wire around its neck loosened and fell to the ground.

The man looked at Jiang Wei with horror and fear.

Jiang Wei smiled innocently and beautifully, her eyes filled with anger and mockery. She held an open chainsaw in her hand, which made a "whooshing" sound. Leaves fell down and were instantly crushed when they hit the chainsaw gears.

The gentle moonlight caressed her cheeks, revealing her fair, pure, and captivating beauty.

The moonlight brushed across the chainsaw in Jiang Wei's hand, illuminating its bright, sharp gleam and reflecting its menacing, sizzling sound.

The man's hands trembled, and his eyes were filled with fear.

Jiang Wei smiled gently: "What, scared? Is there anything wrong with a woman carrying a chainsaw?"

The man took a step back in terror: "You, you're insane, you murderer..."

Jiang Wei took a step forward, her eyes crinkling with a bright smile: "Don't go! Didn't you want to play with me?"
