Chapter 69 Abducted? Indo-Pacific Humpback Dolphin Seeks Help (Revised)
Unexpectedly, things got busy again once they got back to shore.
As soon as we landed, they started checking our residence permits and travel permits.
Gu Yiliu didn't have any of these; she teleported here using a teleportation portal.
So, she was detained.
Gu Yiliu watched as the policeman, having finished asking her for information, took out handcuffs to cuff her.
Hesitating again and again, he still didn't take out her ID; there were too many people around, and it would be too embarrassing.
“Don’t handcuff me, I’ll cooperate,” she said to the young policeman.
"Okay, go stand over there." The young policeman pointed to the line on the side, which consisted of people who had been found to be without residence permits or travel permits.
Everyone squatted on the ground, waiting in fear for what would happen next.
She walked over and squatted down as well. Next to her was a middle-aged woman in her fifties or sixties.
She asked someone, "Auntie, I just got back from sea. What happened?"
The older woman turned to look at her and found that she was a very young and beautiful girl with bright, dark eyes, like a bright moon in the night.
"Back from sea? You're quite impressive, young lady. You were a sailor?"
Gu Yiliu nodded. Anyway, he had given himself this identity. "So I'm so tired that my mind is blank. I don't know what happened. Does Auntie know?"
Although the aunt had doubts, she couldn't quite put her finger on them, and she didn't care. Right now, she was feeling anxious and wanted to talk to someone. "I heard that a girl went missing in the neighborhood recently. They've been looking for her for four or five days, but haven't found her yet, so they started checking on people one by one."
Gu Yiliu's face showed just the right amount of curiosity, "You were abducted?"
The woman looked at the young policeman in front of her and nodded emphatically, "Yes, I heard that he was abducted while walking on the street."
Gu Yiliu's eyelids twitched violently.
"Look at that young man, I heard he's that girl's brother," the aunt said, her face full of sorrow. "It's so pitiful. Those people are so brazen. That girl is already an adult; what will happen if she's kidnapped..."
Gu Yiliu's expression also turned serious: "Thank you, auntie."
Hong Shengnan had also finished his check-up, and he was fine, as were the other team members, except for Gu Yiliu. So everyone asked him to come over and ask Gu Yiliu what happened. "Yiliu, you... why didn't you bring your pass with you when you came out?"
"..."
Gu Yiliu couldn't very well admit that he hadn't done anything at all.
She sighed, "I can't leave now, so I'd like to trouble you to help me contact my boyfriend to come over. I can give you a phone number."
Hong Shengnan nodded.
Gu Yiliu was taken back to the police station to give a statement.
But she was all alone.
"Don't the others need to give statements?" she asked the young policeman.
“They’ve done this several times before. This time they’re mainly targeting those without licenses. You’re a new face.”
Gu Yiliu breathed a sigh of relief. "Then go ahead and ask."
However, she was also curious whether the other person recognized her. "Do you know me?"
The young policeman glanced at her, then shook his head and nodded. "I've seen you once before; you patronized my mother's stall."
It seems that not everyone has seen the reports about her speaking animal language.
What brings you to Huidong City?
Gu Yiliu said, "I rescued an orca, and it asked me to help it find its mother. Then I went out to sea with reporter Hong Shengnan and some sailors. You should be able to see the report soon."
"You mean the baby whale? It was already reported before you went out to sea; the news did say that you were helping the orca find its mother."
After thinking for a moment, Gu Yiliu handed him his police ID. "We are... colleagues."
Yu Ming paused for a moment, took the document and looked at it. "Are you going to sea... on some kind of secret mission?"
Well, he doesn't even believe the story about sending the orca to find its mother anymore.
Gu Yiliu said succinctly, "I'm showing you my ID because I don't want to live in the shelter. You can even lock me up in your police station if you want."
Yu Ming shook his head, "No, I can only send you to the shelter."
"..."
Gu Yiliu was sent to a shelter and assigned to a 6-person room.
Looking at the dirty and messy environment, she felt like crying but had no tears.
She didn't sleep all night. When the food was distributed in the morning, she only ate one piece of candy and gave the rest to the other people in the dormitory.
"Aren't you going to eat? If you don't eat, you'll go hungry until evening. There are only two meals a day."
Gu Yiliu shook his head again, "I can't eat."
"I've seen plenty of people like you. You're already so dramatic as soon as you arrive. You'll stop being like this once you've lived here longer."
Gu Yiliu thought to herself that she was just being dramatic, and that she wouldn't stay long. She believed Han Yi was almost there.
Persistence pays off, and when evening came, Han Yi, who was covered in dust and grime, finally arrived.
Han Yi originally wanted to find out why she came to Huidong City without a travel permit, but when he saw Gu Yiliu's pale and haggard appearance, he only felt heartache. He quickly walked over and held her hand. It was ice cold. He couldn't help but rub it and then put it in his pocket to warm it up. "...Are you hungry?"
Gu Yiliu shook her head; she had already had the system feed her. She was tired now; she hadn't slept last night and had sat up until Han Yi came to pick her up.
"I'm tired, can you carry me on your back?"
Upon hearing this, Han Yi squatted down in front of her, and Gu Yiliu climbed onto Han Yi's back, feeling a sense of relief from her exhaustion.
I closed my eyes and fell asleep in no time.
When Gu Yiliu woke up again, he found himself lying in bed, being held by Han Yi.
She glanced at Han Yi, who she had woken up, and checked the time on her watch. "It's not dawn yet, go back to sleep."
Gu Yiliu hummed in agreement. She had slept well, so her mind was perfectly clear.
"You helped me change my clothes? I need to take a shower; the shelter is filthy!"
"I took a shower too, don't worry!" Han Yi said sleepily. She had slept enough, but he hadn't. He rushed over as soon as he received the news, took a train for a whole day, then went to pay the deposit, and took her back to the hotel to settle in. She had only been asleep for a few hours.
Gu Yiliu was stunned for a moment, then let out a silent howl. Luckily, she hadn't woken up while taking a shower.
She glanced at Han Yi, who was sleeping with his eyes closed, and mentally called out to Dian Dian.
"Dian Dian, did an animal call for help just now?" Gu Yiliu had woken her up because she heard an animal calling to her.
Dian Dian nodded in agreement; they had received a request for help from the Indo-Pacific humpback dolphin.
"Yes, the Indo-Pacific humpback dolphin is asking you for help. It's being illegally fished and they want you to rescue it."
Do you know the exact location of the Indo-Pacific humpback dolphin?
"It's more than 1,300 kilometers away from us, not too far, but also too close."
"First-class, should we go now?" Dian Dian asked her.
Gu Yiliu: "How is it? Has it been arrested?"
After fiddling with it for a while, Dian Dian finally spoke, "It wasn't caught, but its brothers and sisters were caught, and it's being hunted."
"It had been hiding near the illegal fishing boats."
"Won't this be discovered?" Gu Yiliu sighed, annoyed. "Even if we want to rescue them, we need a fishing boat to go out to sea. Otherwise, do you expect me to secretly go and rescue them and leave?"
Suddenly, Dian Dian's expression changed, and she placed the system panel in front of Gu Yiliu, "Look at its plea for help."
"It just asked for help again; this is the third time."
Gu Yiliu looked at the panel with a puzzled expression.
Officer Gu, help! My brother says a lot of people are being watched on the fishing boat! My brother overheard them saying they're going to sell these people to pay off debts. Please help!
