Chapter 64 Entrusting Help with Going to Sea (Revised)
The next second, the massive orca nimbly turned in the water, flapped its tail fin, and quickly disappeared into the sea.
Gu Yiliu was left behind, soaked from head to toe by the seawater.
Take a deep breath, take a deep breath. Even though the orca is a giant, it's still a baby, a one-month-old baby.
But I'm so annoyed!
"Comrade, was that a whale over there just now?" A reporter's panting voice came from behind her, and the other person handed her a handkerchief, "Here, wipe yourself off."
Gu Yiliu took the handkerchief from the other person, wiped the water off his face, and nodded. "It's an orca. Are you taking pictures? Are you a reporter?"
Hong Shengnan nodded and quickly took out his press card. "Yes, I am a reporter. My name is Hong Shengnan. I came to Turtle Bay for a visit. I didn't expect to hear a series of calls. The locals said it was the sound of whales, so I came here thinking I'd try my luck and take a few photos."
Hong Shengnan smiled and smiled at Gu Yiliu, trying to make her feel his sincerity.
Gu Yiliu said "Oh," glanced at the sea, and said, "There was indeed a whale; it went back into the sea."
Hong Shengnan felt very regretful and annoyed that he had missed it!
Then Gu Yiliu asked him, "Is the newspaper you work for a large company?"
Hong Shengnan shook his head. "I am a reporter for a television station and a reporter for Huidong City Radio Station."
Are there many audience members?
Hong Shengnan didn't understand, but he still nodded, "A lot."
He didn't know why she was asking these questions.
Gu Yiliu was talking to Dian Dian in her mind at this moment, asking Dian Dian to check Hong Shengnan's credibility.
"Don't be afraid, he still has the sense of justice of a journalist."
Soon Hong Shengnan heard Gu Yiliu's words again, "If you want to take a picture, I can call it up for you to take."
"ah?"
Hong Shengnan opened his mouth wide, wondering if he was hallucinating.
But Gu Yiliu was waiting for his reply. Hong Shengnan nervously swallowed, and he immediately figured out what to do. "Really? Do you want money? I can pay for the photos, but you can't let someone else take them!"
Gu Yiliu nodded, "However, I also have a request. I hope you can help me report on the orca's search for its mother, and then find a professional sea team to escort it out to sea to find its mother."
Hong Shengnan understood immediately. "I'll talk to my supervisor about this."
Gu Yiliu: "Go talk to the leaders first and confirm that there are teams that can go out to sea. Then I'll let you take pictures. The exclusive news will only be for your TV station."
“Great!” Hong Shengnan was thrilled by the word “exclusive.” He clenched his fist. “I promised you, comrade. I haven’t asked your name yet. Could you please give me your contact information and address? I’ll let you know once I’ve discussed it with my superiors.”
He wrote down his contact information and address for Gu Yiliu.
Gu Yiliu introduced himself and then only gave him half a day.
"I hope we can set sail tomorrow. Orcas can't stay in shallow waters for too long, so I need you to speed things up, Reporter Hong."
Hong Shengnan thought it made sense, and returned to his unit excitedly but also feeling pressured.
Gu Yiliu gave him some more instructions on what the orca was called before leaving.
She was afraid that if she lingered too long, Han Yi would discover something. They had agreed to have dinner together today, and she figured Han Yi was already at her house.
Gu Yiliu appeared in a flash back to the courtyard of the rented house and found smoke rising from the kitchen.
She paused as she walked inside, just as Han Yi came out of the kitchen carrying dishes.
Sure enough. Her heart skipped a beat; her worries were not unfounded.
The two exchanged a glance and smiled knowingly at each other.
Gu Yiliu took out the sea cucumbers, shrimps, and crabs that the sea turtles had given her and handed them to Han Yi to process.
Han Yi glanced at it, but didn't ask where it came from. Instead, he asked her which she wanted to eat first, "Crab and shrimp first?"
Gu Yiliu nodded.
Han Yi quickly prepared several seafood dishes. There was still too much left, so he had to let it soak for now and deal with it after dinner.
After they had almost finished eating, Gu Yiliu told Han Yi that she needed to take the day off to go to Huidong City the next day.
"What's wrong?" Han Yi asked in surprise.
"I rescued a baby killer whale. It was separated from its mother. If the plan remains the same, I will go out to sea tomorrow to take it to find its mother."
Han Yi looked up at her. "So, you're going out to sea tomorrow?"
Gu Yiliu nodded, "I don't know when I'll be back."
Han Yi's gaze paused, then turned deep and sharp. "So you went to sea alone?"
"no!"
Han Yi firmly disagreed.
"I'm worried. If you insist on going, I'll go with you."
Gu Yiliu shook his head. "Have you forgotten my trump card?"
Han Yi looked at the confidence on her face, her long eyelashes unable to hide the light in her eyes.
He knew she had a system, but...
Han Yi paused for a moment, then, thinking of her system, he understood what she meant. What was he afraid of? The system could understand animal language, so what was he afraid of? Gu Yiliu was probably afraid of him, afraid he would leak secrets, afraid he wouldn't be loyal enough, and he was probably afraid Gu Yiliu would kick him to the curb.
"Okay, can you confirm when you'll be back?" Han Yi asked.
Gu Yiliu shook his head. "I don't know. I'll come back as soon as I can find the baby orca's mother."
After dinner, Gu Yiliu went to see Cat Brother. Cat Brother had a seafood feast for dinner, and he also had a cat version of the seafood feast. He was very full. When Gu Yiliu arrived, Cat Brother was yawning and licking his fur.
"DianDian, if I use 2% of my positive reviews to rescue Cat Bro, how many years old will his intelligence return to?"
“At around 4 or 5 years old, he’s smarter than most cats. Most cats only have the intelligence of a 2 or 3-year-old child, so if I help Cat Brother one more time, he can recover,” Dian Dian said.
Gu Yiliu glanced at Dian Dian, who smiled awkwardly. The more alarmist it had been before, the more embarrassed it was now.
But at that time, it was reluctant to give up its positive reviews, because those were its strengths, and losing even a little would be a major blow.
Fortunately, Gu Yiliu didn't mind.
Gu Yiliu told Dian Dian to begin.
Once Cat Brother is cured, there's basically no need to worry about him anymore. He can stay with her if he wants, or go back to the mountain to continue being the big brother cat.
Gu Yiliu kept looking at the system panel; the emergency call for help from Huang Baimu had been there all along.
"It wasn't cut down, was it?" Gu Yiliu asked Diandian.
Dian Dian shook his head. "I suspect someone has their eye on it and wants to kill it, but they just haven't found the opportunity yet. You have to handle this case."
Gu Yiliu nodded.
The next day, Gu Yiliu returned to Dongshan County to find Bai Weigang.
"Why are you back?" Bai Weigang was quite surprised to see her.
"Hello, Director Bai," Gu Yiliu greeted him with a smile.
Bai Weigang's eyes flickered, and his smile widened. "I've been doing really well lately."
Gu Yiliu showed an interested expression.
"I recently got a promotion and I'm leaving."
Gu Yiliu: "Congratulations, Director Bai. Where are you being transferred to?"
"you guess!"
"..."
Gu Yiliu couldn't guess, nor did she want to; she continued to smile.
"Director Bai, I need to talk to you about something."
Bai Wei had just sat down at his desk when he poured her a cup of tea. "Tell me, what did you want to see me about?"
Gu Yiliu then recounted the story of Huang Baimu.
Bai Weigang took a sip of tea with a pleasant expression after listening, "First-rate! I think you are really suitable to stay in our Forestry and Grassland Bureau's directly affiliated units."
"Director Bai, you still haven't said where you've been transferred to?" Gu Yiliu asked.
"Alright, alright, I'll keep in mind what you asked me to do." Bai Weigang's lips were practically curled up in a smile, but he didn't say anything. After finishing his business, he started to urge Gu Yiliu to leave.
"..."
Gu Yiliu had come to understand Bai Weigang quite well. Just by looking at his worthless smile, she felt that it would be easier for her to see Director Bai in the future.
"Congratulations, Director Bai. I'll be going now."
Gu Yiliu immediately teleported to Turtle Bay in Huidong City.
She shouted towards the sea, "Baby whale! Give us a response when you come!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw a vertical column of water shoot into the sky.
The orcas have arrived.
With the main character already arrived, Gu Yiliu felt relieved. She had just turned around when she saw Hong Shengnan had also arrived, accompanied by several people.
"The speed is quite fast."
Gu Yiliu muttered something, walked up to Hong Shengnan, and looked at the people behind him, "Who are these people...?"
Hong Shengnan quickly introduced, "This is Fan Shuqi, the director of our TV station, and my two colleagues, Xiaohua and Xiaozhang. They are accompanying the director and me on the ship."
Fan Shuqi looked at Gu Yiliu, handed him her business card, and said solemnly, "Hello, Comrade Gu. I've heard from Xiao Nan that our station attaches great importance to the orca issue. We will heed your advice. The reporters and crew members who accompanied us on this trip have all undergone background checks, so please rest assured."
Gu Yiliu took the business card and nodded.
Gu Yiliu met with all the crew members. There were five crew members in total, including a cook, three reporters, and nine people including her.
After everyone had met and greeted each other, they boarded a fishing boat.
After the fishing boat had sailed some distance, Gu Yiliu stood on the deck and shouted, "Baby Whale! Follow our fishing boat!"
The next second, everyone heard an extremely long ultrasonic wave.
"Waaaaah~"
Then the waves surged up, crashing against the fishing boat.
Those on deck saw a colossal creature leap up from the deep seabed and then crash back down.
At first glance, it was startling, but upon closer inspection, its adorable big head and face revealed it to be an orca!
"Orca!" Hong Shengnan exclaimed excitedly, raising his camera and starting to snap photos frantically.
Upon hearing the call, the baby whale let out a long cry, leaped up, and sprayed water towards Hong Shengnan with a "plop."
"Ah! My camera!" Hong Shengnan exclaimed, protecting the camera so much that he forgot about himself.
The baby whale found it amusing. It dipped its head in, took a sip of water, and then sprayed it at Hong Shengnan. This time, Hong Shengnan was completely soaked.
"ah!!"
The baby whale grinned, and it was clear to everyone that the orca was smiling. With its adorable, large face, it looked around at everyone on deck, then suddenly rolled over happily in the sea.
"Waaaaah!"
Thank you for helping me find my whale mother!
