When Fu Chu and the young master had almost finished their conversation, Fjord came over again and said that the servants and the three Linnie siblings had returned.

Afterwards, Fu Chu was invited to the reception room of the Buffati Mansion. The young master originally wanted to go with him, but in his current physical condition, he could hardly get out of bed.

In fact, the young master had considered asking Fu Chu to treat him, but he thought that his vacation was over, and if he got better too quickly he would have to go back to Zhidong, so he could only lie in bed in tears.

For the young master, it was really a torture for him to be able to only lie down and not make any big movements.

In the living room, the servant sat on the single sofa, Linny and Femini stood behind her, and Linnet was not there.

When the servant saw Fu Chu coming, he raised his hand and made a gesture of invitation, "Mr. Fu Chu, please take a seat. I was delayed by something and came back late. I hope you can forgive me for the poor hospitality."

"I don't deserve any forgiveness." Fu Chu replied casually, then sat down at the side.

At this time, Linnet came to the reception room with a teapot. She was asked by the servant to make tea.

Linnet poured tea for the servants first, and then for Fu Chu.

"Mr. Fu Chu, this is Fontaine's specialty black tea, please have a taste." Linette entertained Fu Chu flawlessly, but the atmosphere in the living room was a little stagnant at this time.

"Thank you." Fu Chu thanked him and then sipped his tea without saying a word.

Linnet is okay, the three-no kitten is better at hiding her emotions.

Even Femini couldn't help but put on his diving helmet. Linny was almost the same. The muscles on his face twitched a few times and he almost couldn't hold it together.

If the servant wasn't here, Linnie could relax a little and chat with Fu Chu.

But judging from the current atmosphere, it didn't seem like a situation suitable for him to bring up a topic.

The servant looked calm and said, "Mr. Fuchu, I heard from Villette that you gave him the Heart of God and asked him to trade with the Fatui, right?"

"It is indeed me who did this. Is there a problem?" Fu Chu did not hide anything and admitted it openly.

"I'm very curious. Mr. Fu Chu intended to give the Heart of God away. Why did he have to change hands? And from your point of view, there seems to be no reason for us to get the Heart of God so easily."

The servant recalled the process of the Fatui obtaining the Heart of God. From Mondstadt to Fontaine, Fu Chu's shadow appeared in the acquisition of each Heart of God.

Fu Chu could clearly take away every God's Heart, but he gave them away in the end.

The first few God's Hearts might be played out a bit, but when it comes to the Water God's Heart, it will be given away directly.

If these things happened once or twice it wouldn't be a big deal, but this is the fifth time, it's hard not to be suspicious.

But there aren't actually that many twists and turns here. Fu Chu just doesn't want to cause trouble for his two old friends, Venti and Zhongli.

Although they did not make some things about the Heart of God public, they still had their own plans in secret.

But Fu Chu certainly couldn't say that directly. He took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "The Heart of God is just a useless chess piece to me, but it is not to the Fatui. It just so happens that the reconstruction of Fontaine requires a lot of supplies, so it is more cost-effective to let Villette exchange with you."

"Really? Mr. Fu Chu is so compassionate to the people of Fontainebleau, which is truly admirable." The servant obviously didn't believe what Fu Chu said, but since Fu Chu said so, she didn't dare to ask any further questions.

At this time, Fu Chu suddenly thought of something and asked, "By the way, I heard from you that the funds for the activities of the Fatui all come from the Northland Bank, right? Are there any exceptions?"

"Almost. But in addition to the grant from the Northland Bank, Hearth House also has its own business and is barely self-sufficient." The servant answered truthfully, and then asked, "Mr. Fu Chu asked this because he wants to take action against the Northland Bank?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the three people standing behind the servant suddenly became nervous.

Northland Bank can’t fail, at least not now.

Hearth House has no control over other Fatui, but they still have many children who need resources to survive.

If the Northland Bank was gone at this time, Hearth House would be able to barely be self-sufficient, but life would become very difficult.

Fu Chu saw the reactions of the others and said, "Don't be nervous. I'm not a devil. I'm just asking. Also, your guess is too far-fetched. I have always loved peace and have no intention of going to war with Zhidong."

"Oh, let me guess..." The servant thought for a moment and said, "Is it related to the doctor?"

"Yes, I want to ask, if you ask a rich man to cut off the doctor's research funding, what is the probability that he will agree?"

After hearing this reason, the three Lini siblings looked at each other, not knowing how to react for a moment.

After all, in the Fireplace House's investigation records of Fu Chu, Fu Chu had mentioned similar things several times, but unfortunately, the rich man wanted to get rid of the doctor but couldn't.

Providing research funding to the doctor is something the Ice Queen has promised, and the rich cannot cut off the supply of funding at will.

Moreover, the other executives all just watched the show from the sidelines. The young master might say a few words to the doctor on behalf of Fu Chu, but he would immediately be scolded back by the doctor, the puppet, and the rich man.

Who made Fu Chu offend these three? Half of the Liyue branch of the Northern Bank, Rosa, the technical crystallization of the Doctor and the Puppet, and the time when Fu Chu cheated them in Xumi before.

In short, Fu Chu's plan of having his servants propose to cut the doctor's research funding during the Fatui meeting is most likely impossible.

This was indeed the case, and the servant answered directly that it was impossible.

"Mr. Fu Chu is really persistent. Although I also hate the doctor's behavior, the reality is like this and I can't do anything about it. But I heard that the doctor's research funding was indeed cut and allocated to the puppet."

"From what I understand, the Doctor and the Puppet have a collaboration, right? Does it matter who has the funding?"

"There should be no difference." The servant shook his head and said, "After saying so much, I have always been curious. Mr. Fu Chu and the doctor met in Liyue. What exactly prompted you to trip up the doctor?"

In response to this question, Fu Chu put away the only trace of smile between his eyebrows and replied: "Initially it was for morality. I blew up his laboratory in Liyue. He wanted to kill me. Later, it was for family and friends. There is no possibility of reconciliation between him and me."

"Morality, family, and friends are indeed good reasons, especially the one about caring for family. It seems that Mr. Fu Chu and our Hearth House have something in common in their philosophy."

After talking about this, the atmosphere in the living room became much better. At least Linnie didn't have to worry about Fu Chu fighting with the servants.
