"Actually, this is the truth."
Tan Yu Yan looked as if she had been terribly wronged.
"We and Xu Ying split up to find the road. She said her motorcycle didn't have enough fuel and wanted to ride ours."
"She also said she was young, and we should give way to her, or she'd complain to the superiors. So, we switched motorcycles."
"Later we found the way back to the desert, assuming Xu Ying had already returned to Rescue Station 032. We thought her moral coercion was excessive and, in anger, didn't contact her."
"We didn't know she was still out in the desert and hadn't returned."
As Tan Yu Yan spoke, she woke up Tan Ming beside her: "Look at the chili oil around my brother's eyes and the electric marks. Xu Ying retaliated against us last night, deliberately injuring him by pouring hot pot base into his eyes and using a stun baton on us."
Xu Ying internally laughed coldly after hearing this, oh, what a crafty person, throwing off the blame cleanly and even counterattacking!
No doubt Tan Yu Yan was a non-stick pan spirit in her last life.
Xu Ying ignored Tan Yu Yan and instead turned to Chen Su: "Brother Chen, we have evidence; let us take you to the scene. It's just a bit far."
Chen Su nodded slightly: "That's fine. We came in an off-road vehicle, which is faster than you riding motorcycles."
Xu Ying and Chen Su got into the off-road vehicle, and the Bear Boss from the three Gobi Bears also wanted to come along to identify the scene, barely squeezing its rounded body into the trunk.
Tan Yu Yan sat in the back seat of the off-road vehicle, precisely receiving the death stare from the Bear Boss, not daring to move.
With limited space in the vehicle, the remaining two officers and Ning Zexi stayed at Rescue Station 028, awaiting instructions.
With the Gobi Bear guiding them, two and a half hours later, Chen Su's off-road vehicle accurately reached the territory of the Gobi Bears.
The sister-in-law and the sister of the Bear Boss were together, and seeing a car arriving, they were initially panicked. However, after the Bear Boss got off and made some calls, the two bears became friendly.
The Bear Sister even produced the knife that Tan Ming used to scratch the Bear Boss, handing it to Chen Su for fingerprint analysis.
Chen Su took photos of the footprints on the scene, confirming Tan Yu Yan and her brother had been here.
Chen Su then found the crime scene where the motorcycle was stolen, and with the bear's keen nose, they found Xu Ying's bloodstains there…
One piece of evidence after another was gathered.
When Tan Yu Yan and Tan Ming were handcuffed, they still wore expressions of disbelief.
Tan Yu Yan frantically questioned her brother Tan Ming, "Didn't you say there wasn't enough evidence and we'd be released?"
Tan Ming was even more crestfallen, "This… they don't even show this in dramas, damn it, the bear even preserved evidence and guided the police to the scene!"
Tan Yu Yan stubbornly yelled at Chen Su, "Officer, last night at the rescue station, Xu Ying really did intentionally harm us!"
Chen Su gave them a cold glance, "Evidence?"
—"None, but she did it!"
—"She did, and she even played horror movies to scare us!"
The Tan siblings were taken into the police car.
Chen Su "slammed" the police car door shut, not bothering to spare them another glance.
The world finally quieted down.
Chen Su turned to look at Xu Ying, who was performing a body check on Sister-in-law Xiong with a stethoscope.
Her focused demeanor while working made her seem to glow.
Chen Su took a look at the blood sample he collected, which was from Xu Ying's hand being slashed when she was taking apart the motorcycle, left by Tan Yu Yan.
Recalling Xu Ying's account of how she was bullied by these two outrageous colleagues while explaining the case, Chen Su felt a pang in his heart.
This young girl, freshly graduated, hardworking and kind-hearted, yet was left struggling in the desert for three days and nights.
Chen Su walked over to Xu Ying with a bottle of Yunnan Baiyao and a band-aid, squatting down beside her, patiently waiting for her to finish the check-up on the Gobi Bear.
"How's this Gobi Bear?"
Xu Ying signaled an okay with her hand, her almond eyes curving into a crescent, "Don't worry, it's all good; just waiting for the new life to arrive now~"
Upon hearing Xu Ying's words, the Bear Boss finally breathed a sigh of relief: [Little sister, thank you! Coming all this way to do a check-up!]
Xu Ying shook her head, "It's nothing, I should thank you all for helping me identify the scene."
After Xu Ying packed up her tools, she received a notification from the system: [Host, your willingness to help others has earned you a new Beast Language Skill as a reward~]
She was delighted, realizing she could earn rewards not only from completing tasks but also from actively helping animals solve problems!
While Xu Ying was momentarily distracted, Chen Su handed her the band-aid and Yunnan Baiyao, and said, "Give me your phone."
Xu Ying, returning to her senses and though puzzled, obediently handed over her phone.
Chen Su fiddled with Xu Ying's phone for a while before returning it to her. "That's my number. If you encounter any emergency, you can reach out to me for help."
Finally, he added, "Anytime."
"Okay!"
Xu Ying's eyes widened; she thought she'd found a powerful ally!
She smiled sweetly, "Thank you, Brother Chen!"
"Oh, right!" Xu Ying suddenly thought of something important and clapped her head, "Do you know any sources for buying milk powder or fresh milk? The ear fox cubs have been weaned for three days now!"
Chen Su thought seriously and replied, "There's a village a hundred kilometers away. If you need anything, you can tell the village chief, and when they go into town, they can bring it back for you, but I'm unsure how long it will take."
"When I pass by the village, I'll ask the chief for you."
"Thank you!"
Xu Ying sincerely expressed her gratitude.
After bidding farewell to the Gobi Bear couple, the two returned to Rescue Station 028 with the "criminal suspects."
"Oh, the live stream!"
Xu Ying suddenly remembered, quickly got off the car, focusing on reporting the case, and forgot about this important thing.
Chen Su watched the hurried girl and shook his head, helping her hold the medical box.
He and his colleagues still had to escort the suspects back, so after saying goodbye to Xu Ying, they drove away.
—"Station Chief, you're finally back!"
Seeing Xu Ying, Ning Zexi in the rescue station grabbed onto her like a lifesaver.
"These little ones refuse to cooperate with our business! We still need you!"
It turns out Ning Zexi had logged into Xu Ying's account at nine o'clock to start the livestream, but the ear fox cubs only listened to their sister; they wouldn't come out of the crate, let alone show off cutely on camera.
The viewers in the chat room were calling for the Station Chief to come back; they wanted to see the cool and dashing chief with the cubs.
Upon seeing the netizens' fondness for the ear fox cubs in the chat room, Xu Ying thanked them and then seriously said to the livestream, "Hello everyone, I'm Station Chief Xu!"
"Thank you for your support, but we're facing a tricky issue now."
"The supplies in the desert reclamation area are scarce, and the rescue station doesn't have food suitable for these little ones. Also, they haven't been weaned yet and need milk powder or cow/goat milk. The nearest village is 100 kilometers away, and it's uncertain if they have dairy products. Asking the village chief to buy some will take at least a week."
She pressed her hands together, "Is there a way you wonderful netizens can help us?"
Xu Ying posted the coordinates of the rescue station on the public screen.
Upon seeing Xu Ying, the ear fox cubs instantly transformed from aloof little foxes into clingy ones, immediately popping out of the aviation box.
Hearing her "online begging for food" for them, they all scampered onto Xu Ying, with some perched on her head and others nestled in her arms.
Imitating Xu Ying, they clasped their two paws together, their big watery eyes blinking as they pitifully appealed to the netizens.
Who could resist such a sight?
