Chapter 632: Fernina's Little Trick
After leaving Villette's office, Shao Yun complained, "Did you call us all the way from Baisong Town with such fanfare just for something so boring?"
Clorinde glanced at the still angry Funina and explained in a low voice: "Mr. Water God has indeed been a little sensitive recently. When I came back a few days ago, Miss Funina saw me and wanted to stick to me."
Furninna felt a little impatient when she heard a series of faint whispers coming from behind her.
She turned around, frowning, and asked with a hint of displeasure in her tone: "Hey, what are you whispering about?"
Shao Yun replied calmly, "Nothing, you guys go to Baisong Town first. I still have some things to take care of here, I'll meet up with you later."
When Fu Ningna heard that Shao Yun was going to act alone, she immediately felt insecure.
She said anxiously, "Hey! What do you want to do? Are you planning to sneak away? No, I will follow you wherever you go!"
Faced with Funina who stuck to him like a dog-skin plaster, Shao Yun decided to scare her with the name of Arecino.
He pretended to be serious and said, "I'm going to inform Alecino. Why, do you want to go with me?"
Furninda was stunned for a moment, but soon she regained her fearless spirit.
"Then we'll wait for you at the door! You can come out as soon as possible after notifying Alechino! If it's just a notification, I think one minute should be enough."
……
When everyone left Momang Palace, an unexpected scene occurred.
Charlotte hid in the bushes of the green belt by some unknown means. When she saw Funina coming out, she suddenly jumped out and shouted excitedly, "Lady Funina! Can you accept my interview?"
In order to obtain the most direct and authentic first-hand information, Charlotte really spared no expense!
Furninna was startled by the sudden fall. She instinctively hid behind Clorinde, looking a little panicked.
When she looked carefully and found that it was Charlotte, she relaxed a little and said with a little helplessness and surprise in her tone: "Ah? Miss Charlotte, you suddenly showed up like this and scared me!"
Seeing that Fernina was frightened by her, Charlotte quickly apologized, but she still refused to give up and continued to ask, "I'm really sorry, Lady Fernina, can you accept my exclusive interview?"
Funina originally planned to refuse the interview.
"No, I..."
However, Furninna suddenly rolled her eyes, and a light bulb went off in her head as she thought of a plan! She could think of things as she wished, and her memory was like that of a fish.
Then, she immediately changed her previous attitude of refusal and readily agreed: "Okay, in that case, I happen to have some free time now, why don't we go to Luze Coffee Shop and have our conversation while enjoying the food?"
When Charlotte learned that she would have the opportunity to conduct an exclusive interview and communicate face to face with the water goddess Funina, her emotions instantly rose, and she was as excited as Shao Yun when he robbed the bank.
"Wow! This is awesome! Let's get going without further ado!"
As Charlotte pulled her away, Funina turned around and shouted to Shao Yun behind her: "Hey! We're going to Luze Café first. Once you notify the Fatui, come find us there!"
Shao Yun watched Funina being dragged away by Charlotte and felt very out of place. What was going on?
"What on earth does this Funina mean? She was sticking to me like a dog-skin plaster just now, why is she running so fast now?"
Seeing Shao Yun looking annoyed, Ying walked up to him, patted his arm gently, and said, "Hey, don't think too much. We'll meet at Luze Coffee Shop later."
……
In the evening, at the Buffati Mansion.
Due to the secret agreement reached between Shao Yun and Arlecchino, the Buffati Mansion was not burned down by Shao Yun.
The children of Hearth House who had been hiding in the wild have now returned safely, and everything is back on track.
At this moment, it is dinner time at the Buffati Mansion, and the air is filled with the aroma of delicious food.
The guard at the door saw Shao Yun coming and let him in without asking any questions. It seemed that he had received instructions, otherwise, he would have definitely stepped forward to stop him.
As soon as Shao Yun walked into the mansion, his tall figure attracted everyone's attention.
Shao Yun glanced around the hall and called out, "Linnie, Femini?"
However, no matter how he called out, Lini and Femini were nowhere to be seen.
At this moment, Linnet, who was walking in the hall of the mansion to digest her food, heard Shao Yun's voice.
She walked up to him quickly, still with her signature expressionless face, and asked, "Ah? Mr. Shao Yun, do you have anything to do with my brother and Femini?"
Shao Yun didn't want to exchange pleasantries with Linnet, but got straight to the point and asked, "I want to find your 'father'. Where is he now?"
When Linnet heard that Shao Yun was here to see Alechino, she was startled for a moment, then tilted her head, showing a cute and adorable look, and said, "Oh, so you're here to see 'father'! Then please wait a moment."
"Well...how about this, you move to our reception room to rest for a while and wait for a while?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Linnet turned around and ran towards where Alechino was, without caring whether Shao Yun agreed or not. Her petite figure soon disappeared at the end of the corridor.
Seeing this, Shao Yun nodded and said, "Okay."
Then he walked towards the reception room as if he was familiar with his home, and soon arrived at the door of the reception room.
Shao Yun walked straight to the sofa, sat down, and adjusted his sitting posture to make himself more relaxed.
Time passed minute by minute, and after about ten minutes, Alechino finally learned from Linnet that Shao Yun was visiting.
She had long guessed that Shao Yun would cause trouble for her because she borrowed the title of "Dutch van der Linde".
Thinking of this, Alechino quickly picked up a bulging large sack full of Mora and hurried towards the reception room.
When Alechino stepped into the reception room, he immediately saw Shao Yun sitting on the sofa.
Before Shao Yun could speak, Alechino said, "I knew you would come! Here, Mora, I have prepared everything for you."
As he spoke, Alechino placed the sack, which was almost as big as Ying, next to Shao Yun, making a rustling sound.
Then, Alechino walked straight to Shao Yun as if no one was around, and sat opposite him.
She tilted her head slightly, raised the corner of her mouth, and asked with a smug smile: "Well, if you are not satisfied, tell me and I will take you to Northland Bank again."
Shao Yun stretched out his hand expressionlessly and slowly pulled the rope on the mouth of the sack.
As the bag was opened, it was filled with dazzling Mora.
Faced with such tempting wealth to others, Shao Yun just glanced at it indifferently, and responded without any emotion: "Let's put the money aside for now, I have something to ask you!"
Hearing this, Alecino was stunned. If he didn't want Mora, then what did he want?
"Oh? You don't want money, is there anything else you need my help with?"
Shao Yun knew that what he had just said might be ambiguous, so he explained it.
"What the hell is wrong with you for using Dutch's name to cause trouble?" As he spoke, his tone unconsciously became heavier, and he was obviously quite annoyed by this.
Seeing Shao Yun "blasting", Alechino stared at Shao Yun with interest and asked, "I really don't understand what you mean. You mean, you don't want Mora just to scold me?"
Shao Yun stopped beating around the bush and asked directly, "You should know exactly what you did with the name of Dutch van der Linde. I don't need to tell you. Scolding you is the least of my words!"
When he learned that Shao Yun came here for the same matter, Alechino seemed to be relieved of a heavy weight on his heart, and replied nonchalantly.
"Oh, so that's what you're going to say. Don't worry, I haven't revealed your true identity."
Shao Yun listened to Alechino's somewhat careless tone and suddenly became furious. He asked, "No, why are you dragging me into this in order to seize the Heart of God? Give me a reasonable explanation!"
Alechino still held up two fingers and explained: "First, I didn't provoke you, and second, I didn't do anything to Ying and Paimon, why are you so angry?"
Seeing that Alechino was still playing dumb, Shao Yun emphasized again: "You used my alias, and you said you didn't provoke me?"
Alechino spoke out the countermeasures that he had prepared long ago.
"Don't worry, I've already found a scapegoat. If the Fontaine officials really suspect you, I will help you deal with it. I will never bring any trouble to you."
When Shao Yun heard the word scapegoat from Alechino, he thought of what Ying had said to him a few days ago when she was bored. He said that he didn't know where Lini and the others were. Could it be that they were looking for a "scapegoat"?
"Scapegoat? So, this is why Lini and Femini disappeared these days?"
Seeing that Shao Yun understood everything, Alechino couldn't help but praise him: "Yes, your guess is very accurate."
Then she smiled slightly and continued, "I have prepared the Mora for you to use for apology. I was a little hasty this time and did not inform you in advance. I hope you can forgive me." After that, she gestured to the side.
Shao Yun looked at the sack beside him which was as tall as Ying.
He narrowed his eyes in displeasure, thinking that these Fatui were being too careless in their actions.
However, despite his dissatisfaction, he finally agreed. At this point, he didn't want to interrupt his vacation in Fontaine for such a trivial matter.
"You fools are really crazy for the Heart of God... But let me be frank. If I get into trouble for this, the first thing I will do is send you to meet your colleagues."
After that, he paused, and then added: "Then Villette has agreed to your diplomatic application and is waiting for you in the Momang Palace."
When Alechino heard that Villette had finally agreed to the diplomatic meeting, he thought that all his running around and careful planning over the past week had not been in vain.
"It seems that all this busy time has not been in vain..."
