Chapter 672: Scare Clorinde for fun
Fontaine, the apartment where Eula lives.
Following Youla's instructions, Shao Yun brought Amber to the apartment where she lived.
As soon as she entered the door, Amber looked around Eula's residence in Fontaine with curiosity.
A simple and warm little apartment. Although it is not large in size, it is well arranged and makes people feel very comfortable.
Then, Amber turned his head and looked at Shao Yun, and asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Shao Yun, what happened?"
Shao Yun pointed to the slippers at the door, motioning Amber to change her shoes first, and then he would explain slowly.
Seeing this, Amber was a little confused, but she still changed into slippers first.
Shao Yun took Amber to the living room. After they sat down on the sofa, Shao Yun finally answered the question that Amber asked when she first entered the door.
"I want to ask you the same thing. What are you talking about? Eula never left the Knights. What's the situation?"
Amber felt helpless when she saw that Shao Yun still didn't understand what she meant.
She sighed and explained again: "What I mean is that Eula did not leave the Knights as she said in her letter. Instead, she wrote a farewell letter and left Mondstadt directly!"
Seeing that Shao Yun still seemed to have a vague idea of what was going on, Amber knew that she couldn't explain it to him clearly in a short time, so she decided to change the subject and asked about Eula's recent situation.
"Oh, I can't explain it to you right away," Amber waved her hand, "Let's talk about Eula's recent situation first. How is she doing in Fontaine?"
"Wait a minute, how about this first, Shao Yun, can you tell me how you met Eula? Did you meet her in Fontaine or somewhere else?"
Seeing Amber asking about what happened after Eula left Mond, Shao Yun fell into memories.
He said slowly: "I met Eula in Aru Village in the Xumi Desert. At that time, she told me that she had left the Knights and was traveling around, looking for the true meaning of her own life."
Shao Yun paused for a moment and continued, "About two months later, Ying, Paimon and I came to Fontaine. Here, I found Eula. At this time, she had become a trainee police officer in the Fontaine Guard."
Finally, Shao Yun simply concluded: "In short, I helped her at the critical moment and allowed her to successfully become a formal police officer of the Fontaine Guard."
"This way, she will have a stable job and can settle down in Fontaine and live a good life... That's probably it..."
Shao Yun did not tell Amber everything. He concealed the fact that Yan Fei and You La were injured for many reasons.
As for Yan Fei, on the one hand, he was worried that Amber would misunderstand that Eula had another woman outside (of course, this was just a joke), and on the other hand, he was too lazy to explain who Yan Fei was, thinking that it would be a very troublesome thing.
As for Eula's injury, Shao Yun said it was because of the agreement with Alechino. Fifteen billion! Everything should be treated as if it never happened.
After listening to Shao Yun's story, Amber, who was sitting on the sofa, was silent for a long time, thinking about something.
After a while, she asked, "Do you think Eula is happy in Fontaine?"
When Shao Yun heard this question, he hesitated for a moment, then shrugged and answered uncertainly: "I think that Eula should be doing well in Fontaine... After all, she chose to stay here."
"However, I am not very clear about the specific circumstances. After all, I am not her and cannot judge her life."
Amber was not satisfied with Shao Yun's answer. She continued unwillingly, "Is that so... But I still think..."
However, before Amber could finish her words, Shao Yun suddenly stood up, seeming impatient to leave.
He interrupted Amber and said goodbye first: "Okay, I still have some things to deal with. You can wait for Eula to come back at her apartment. I'm leaving first."
Seeing this, Amber looked at Shao Yun with some surprise, obviously a little surprised that he left in such a hurry.
She asked quickly, "Is there something urgent? Why are you leaving in such a hurry?"
Shao Yun rolled his eyes helplessly and said self-deprecatingly: "Alas, this is just a job that was thrown to me without any reason. I can't be absent from work for too long."
When Amber heard this, she immediately became interested and asked more curiously.
"Is this the work of the Adventurer's Guild?"
Shao Yun shook his head slowly, and then used a vivid metaphor to explain to Amber his current job.
"This is not an ordinary matter, but a commission from the Fontaine official, just like when Tevarin suddenly went crazy, Captain Qin asked Ying and Paimon to work for the Knights of Favonius."
When Amber heard Shao Yun compare it to the dragon disaster incident, she suddenly understood.
"Oh, I see! Okay, I get it. That's it for now. Bye!"
Shao Yun nodded and was about to turn around and leave.
However, he had just taken two steps when he stopped as if he suddenly remembered something important.
He took out a can from the Eastern Legend backpack on his waist and threw it at Amber.
"Oh, by the way!" Shao Yun shouted, "Here you go. I'm not sure if there is any food at Eula's house. If you are hungry, you can eat this can."
Seeing this, Amber quickly reached out to catch the can and said, "Okay, thank you..."
……
Meanwhile, in Baisong Town, Clorinde’s hometown.
Clorinde was anxiously awaiting Shao Yun's return.
She paced back and forth between the bedroom and the living room. Anxiety and anticipation were the conflicting points in her heart.
As the sound of footsteps came from outside the door, Clorinde's tightly furrowed brows relaxed a little.
Shao Yun pushed open the door and walked into the room.
Clorinde walked quickly forward, her violet eyes fixed on Shao Yun, expecting him to bring some good news.
"Master, how is the investigation going?" Clorinde's voice trembled a little, and it was obvious that she was very concerned about this matter.
Shao Yun did not answer her question directly. Instead, he raised his hand, pointed to Clorinde's bedroom, frowned slightly, and asked, "How is Funina? I mean, is she still breathing?"
Clorinde looked at her bedroom in the direction of Shao Yun's finger, then turned around, took a deep breath, calmed herself, and began to talk about Funina's current condition.
"She's still asleep, don't worry, Master." Clorinde tried to sound relaxed, but Shao Yun could still sense a hint of uneasiness in her.
"She's still breathing. I covered her with a blanket. She shouldn't catch a cold."
After hearing this, Shao Yun breathed a sigh of relief, but then frowned again and asked, "How many sleeping pills did you give her?"
Clorinde hesitated for a moment, then held up four fingers and answered seriously, "Just four pills. Considering the expiration of the medicine, I increased the dosage."
Shao Yun widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief.
"Four pills??" He couldn't help but complain, "You're going to let her sleep until tomorrow night!"
Clorinde obviously realized that she might have put too much medicine. She lowered her head guiltily and muttered to herself, "Maybe... I'm not sure what the dosage of sleeping pills my master Petronilla gave me was."
Then, the next second, Clorinde quickly changed the subject back.
"By the way, Master, how's your investigation going?" she asked anxiously, obviously very concerned about this issue.
Shao Yun originally planned to tell Clorinde honestly that Navia didn't care about borrowing money from the bank.
However, just as the words were about to come out of his mouth, a mischievous idea suddenly came to his mind. He wanted to take this opportunity to tease Clorinde and see how she would react.
Having made up his mind, Shao Yun immediately put on a sad face, creating the impression that he had encountered a huge problem.
Then he sighed heavily and shook his head slowly, giving Clorinde the feeling that things were very tricky and difficult to resolve.
Seeing this, Clorinde felt even more uneasy.
She stared closely at Shao Yun's face which was full of distress, and had a bad feeling in her heart.
"Master, your expression... could it be..." Clorinde's tone was a little nervous, and she didn't dare to say her guess out loud.
Shao Yun replied vaguely: "Alas, the situation is not optimistic..."
He deliberately made his words ambiguous, which made Clorinde completely worried.
Clorinde's throat moved, she swallowed nervously, and asked with a slightly trembling voice: "Navia, how much money did she borrow?"
Shao Yun resisted the urge to laugh, a distressed look appeared on his face, and he patted his head while saying:
"Oh, how much money she borrowed is not the point. The key is who she borrowed the money from! This is the most troublesome problem!"
Hearing Shao Yun say this, Clorinde felt a chill in her heart and an ominous premonition came to her mind.
She widened her eyes and stammered, "No...it can't be...it can't be the Northland Bank..."
Seeing that Clorinde had "taken the bait", Shao Yun deliberately sighed and said in a long voice: "Ah..."
This sigh made Clorinde's body tremble violently, and a chill ran from the soles of her feet to the top of her head.
Her face turned pale, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on her forehead. She asked tremblingly: "Then...then, how much did Navia borrow?"
In order to avoid scaring Clorinde to death, Shao Yun restrained himself a little and reduced the amount of "loan" from Navia.
He held up two fingers and said slowly: "This number, 200 million Mora."
Then, he deliberately emphasized: "It's scary, right..."
This was indeed terrifying. When Clorinde heard the number "two hundred million Mora", her slender thighs seemed to suddenly go limp involuntarily.
She staggered back two steps. If she hadn't grabbed the table beside her in time, she would have fallen to the ground.
Then, Clorinde covered her mouth tightly with both hands to prevent the fear and anxiety in her heart from screaming out of her throat.
At this moment, her pupils trembled violently, revealing despair.
"What should I do? How should I explain this to Mr. Cares? What should I do?"
In Clorinde's opinion, borrowing money from the Fatui and not paying it back is simply seeking death.
She no longer dared to imagine the possible consequences. Now Navia's entry into North Petersburg was already the best outcome.
What scared her even more was that Navia might very well die... No, maybe death wasn't the worst case scenario.
What Clorinde is most worried about is that the Fatui will force Navia to sell her body to repay the debt!
