Chapter 111 This is a deception
Hearing the shouts from behind and the command to raise one's hands, Le Yi's heart skipped a beat. "That line... could that guy in the back be holding the truth?"
Without hesitation, Le Yi quickly raised her hands and said, "Calm down, calm down, I surrender, I surrender!"
Seeing this, the person behind continued, "Stand up, slowly turn around, and do as I say, and I won't hurt you."
Le Yi took a deep breath, then obediently stood up and slowly turned around. However, when she turned around and saw the person in front of her, she was taken aback.
To be precise, that person wasn't exactly human. Although there were indeed two law enforcement officers nearby, what first caught Leigh's eye, and what was pointed at her with a gun, was...
It was a Melousin. Not only that, but she was someone he knew—Sedna, the guard from the Momang Palace.
Furthermore, a pink-haired guard named Melosin was standing next to Sedna. A hint of confusion crossed Sedna's face the moment she saw Rai.
"Qiuhe? It's you?" The law enforcement officer next to her couldn't help but ask when he heard Sedna call out Leyi's name.
"Sedna, do you know this boy?" Sedna, upon hearing this, recalled the scene from a few days ago when Fryna was furious because Navelette had driven away Qiuhe.
Then he spoke up, saying, "Hmm, this child seems to be a friend of Lady Funina." The guard beside him, upon hearing that the child was a friend of the Water Goddess...
She lowered her guard and slowly walked up to Leyi. "Qiuhe, what are you doing here?"
After hearing Sedna's words, Le Yi looked around and finally asked with a blank expression, "You, are you talking to me?"
Sedna was also a little confused after hearing this. She had already called his name; if she wasn't talking to him, how could she be talking to the person sitting on the ground?
“Uh, yeah,” Le Yi fell silent after hearing this, but after a while she suddenly felt a wave of dizziness.
Le Yi then rubbed her forehead, and only when she regained her senses did she remember that her name was Qiu He. "Ah, sorry, I was a little dazed just now."
Seeing this, Sedna continued to ask about what had just happened, "Qiuhe, what were you doing barging into Morris's house? Do you know him?"
After hearing this, Leyi looked puzzled and asked, "Isn't this Lanach's house?" Sedna responded...
"Oh, so you're here to see Lanah. This used to be Lanah's house, but he's transferred the ownership to Maurice now."
Furthermore, he has already moved away from the area of the New Fontainebleau Academy of Sciences, and we still don't know where he moved to."
Upon hearing this, Le Yi couldn't help but wonder, "They moved away? Could it be because of what happened at the bottom of the Gray River? They're afraid their whereabouts will be exposed, so they moved away from here?"
Le Yi was also somewhat troubled by this thought. If Ranach was still within Fontainebleau, it would be fine, but what if he left Fontainebleau?
Finding him again would be like searching for a needle in a haystack. Meanwhile, Sedna, noticing that Ley seemed to be deep in thought, asked...
"Qiuhe, is there something you need from Lanah?" Only then did Leyi realize that she had told Sedna about Lanah.
If they knew that Ranah was one of the participants in the case beneath the Grey River, they would definitely try to arrest him.
If Ranach is captured by them, what chance will he have? And if Vilette finds out...
Then he'll know that I protected Ranach before, and no matter what I say in the future, he'll probably never let me set foot in Fontaine again.
"Ah, I, um, I, I, I," Sedna stammered, unable to speak, and she became alert.
She could already guess that there was something shady going on. Le Yi had originally planned to just make up a story to get by.
But then she remembered that Melosin seemed to be able to tell if someone was lying just by looking at their expression, and Leyi was quite confident in her control over her facial muscles.
But the problem is that the cost of failure is too high, and he dares not gamble. Seeing this, Sedna spoke up, "So Qiuhe is unwilling to say..."
Please come with us then. A major case has recently occurred at Morris's house, and no one has passed through here yet, except for you.
Don't worry, we won't do anything to you. We'll just take you to Lord Villette. Lord Villette is the symbol of justice in Fontaine. If you have been wronged,
"He'll help you get rid of him." Le Yi panicked upon hearing this. If she fell into Vilet's hands now, she'd be doomed.
As for how much of her past was exposed, that was hard to say. In the end, Leyi could only smile sheepishly and try to please Sedna, constantly flattering her.
"Oh, Sister Sedna, beauty fades but love endures, time flies but you are a treasure, seeing you is like seeing the bright moon in the sky~"
Your beauty is a perfect blend of inner and outer charm; every smile and gesture is like a breath of fresh air. You are beautiful without sacrificing elegance and composure.
"Look, I'm at least friends with your Water God, but when I meet that Vilette or something, hahahaha,"
To Sedna, Ley's effusive praise only served to confirm that she harbored a secret.
Sedna responded to these compliments with a gentle smile, lightly patted Lei's head, and said...
"Look, little friend, you know you're friends with Lord Funina, so Lord Vilette certainly won't make things difficult for you, right?"
"So, Qiuhe, don't worry, come back with us," said Leyi, looking at Sedna's gentle smile, but inwardly speechless.
"So all that flattery I just did was backfire!"
Inside the office of Navigette in Fontainebleau
“So that’s why you’re here,” Vilette said, sitting solemnly in a chair with Sedna standing beside her.
Sitting next to Ley on the other side was Funinna, and after learning about Ley's circumstances, Navelette questioned him about his purpose.
Le Yi then nodded helplessly and said, "Anyway, that's how it is. I don't know if Morris lives there now."
"Besides, I know nothing about his case," Navelette said, taking a sip of water before continuing, "Then, why did you go to see Ranach?"
After hearing this, Le Yi could only sigh helplessly, "It seems that the only option left is to use the ultimate secret technique of disguise."
Thinking this to herself, Le Yi suddenly put on a serious expression and said, "I can't say right now."
Navelette was also confused after hearing this, and then Le Yi glanced at Sedna beside her. Navelette also noticed Le Yi's gaze.
After thinking for a moment, she said, "Sedna, you can go out for a bit. Ms. Funina and I can stay here."
Sedna nodded slightly after hearing this, and then slowly walked out of the office. "Little Qiuhe, unless it's something that Meilushin shouldn't hear,"
"To verify whether what you said is true, I will call Sedna back," Leigh said after hearing this. "All the missions I'm carrying out are top secret."
"Don't reveal this," Leigh said, picking up a pen and paper from Villette's desk and writing something on the paper.
After finishing writing, he gently pushed the paper to Navilette and lightly tapped the paper with his finger.
Navelette frowned upon seeing what was written on the paper, then gently raised her head to look at Ley.
"How did you know all this?" Seeing Navelette's puzzled expression, Funina asked.
She then reached for the paper, but Villette quickly put it away, saying, "I'm sorry, Ms. Furina, you cannot know what's on this paper."
Funina was even more puzzled after hearing this. "Huh? There's something I can't know?" But seeing Vilette's serious and earnest expression...
Funina then suppressed her curiosity, and Leyi continued, "So all you need to know is that everything I do is for Fontaine."
Violet stared intently into Ley's eyes, pondering the words written on the paper. After a long pause, she casually remarked:
"Since things have come to this, I have nothing more to say. But if your actions endanger Fontaine, then regardless of your identity..."
"I will never turn a blind eye," Le Yi replied with a dismissive smile. "Fine, I'll take it," she said, and then prepared to leave the office.
But then Funina called out to Leyi, "Qiuhe, wait a moment." Leyi turned around with a puzzled look on her face.
Then, Furina looked at Villette and stared at him intently, as if conveying a message.
Seeing this, Villette sighed helplessly and said, "Young Qiuhe, what happened before was due to my lack of consideration."
"I sincerely apologize for driving you away so ruthlessly before," he said. Hearing this, Le Yi was completely bewildered, utterly confused about what Vilette was talking about.
But then she looked at Funina beside her, and Funina simply smiled at Leyi. Leyi pondered for a moment...
Then she remembered what Vilette had said to her before, and said, "Oh, that matter? Oh well, it's alright, I understand, after all..."
But before Ley could finish speaking, Villette pulled out a large bag of Mora and said, "Thank you for celebrating Ms. Funina's birthday."
Consider these Mora as me repaying a favor on behalf of Ms. Funina. Please do not approach Funina again in the future.
