Genshin Impact: Can’t the executive just give up?

"That's what I've been waiting for."

Lai Rhine was peeling a jade-patterned tea egg and seemed to be chatting: "Mr. Zhongli, we are being followed."

"I know." Zhongli had already noticed that there were a few people hanging around them.

To be precise, it is not "them", but Zhongli himself. As the most knowledgeable guest official in Liyue Harbor, Zhongli's identity is not ordinary. He also knows that with such an identity, he is likely to be noticed by some interested people.

Of course, most people didn’t know Zhongli, but this definitely didn’t include the General Affairs Department or the Fatui.

As for those guys following them, although Rhine did not find Ye Lan, if nothing unexpected happens, they should be from the General Affairs Department.

"Mr. Zhongli, do you know who they are?" Rhine asked.

"It should be from the General Affairs Department." Zhongli didn't think much about it.

Just a few days ago, someone tried to get close to me and asked me questions. The General Affairs Department is a very rigorous department, and some of the people in it are extraordinary.

For example, the one named "Ye Lan" once disguised himself and came to test him.

However, that person's disguise method was indeed exquisite. If Zhongli had not noticed the unusualness around him a long time ago, without using other powers, and only relying on his eyes, it would have been difficult to see that the person had been changing his appearance and lurking around him.

However, compared to Ye Lan, the followers around them now are not as good as them.

Even if Rhine didn't use "natural law", he could still find something unusual.

"Don't worry about them. Generally, they will leave on their own in no time." Zhongli said calmly.

Recently, on the eve of the Seven Stars Invitation Ceremony, three executive officers moved into Liyue Harbor, and Tianquan Ningguang was attacked. These things combined will indeed make the Liyue officials more vigilant.

Although Zhongli didn't like being followed, he thought that they had their own difficulties and had not done anything out of the ordinary, so he just let them go.

It was just a few more stares. Thinking back to the past, he, oh no, it was Him, who flew past the eyes of the demons but treated them as nothing. Now, being stared at by a few mortals, what did it matter?

Rhine shrugged and made no comment.

Zhongli’s idea was a good one, but after he exaggerated in front of Ye Lan and Ning Guang, it remained to be seen whether the people from the General Affairs Department would just take a few glances and leave.

After finishing breakfast, Rhine said goodbye to Zhongli and left slowly after seeing that he had indeed written down the address of Wangsheng Hall on the bill.

"Mr. Bai, you haven't had breakfast yet. I asked someone to leave some for you." Ningguang said as she saw Rhine go out and put down the work at hand and planned to rest for a while.

"Thank you, I'm not very hungry." Rhine refused.

Ningguang insisted, “Although Mr. Bai has an alchemical body, his flesh and blood are no different from those of ordinary people. He still needs to have a regular diet and rest schedule.”

"Um, okay."

Seeing Ningguang say this, Rhine had no choice but to agree. It didn't matter if he just ate a little more.

"Mr. Bai, what do you think about the Zhongli matter?" Although it was a break, Ningguang was making full use of the time.

"I don't know. I don't know him." Rhine didn't intend to get involved in this matter. Even if Ningguang wanted to fry Zhongli in a frying pan, Rhine would only smell the emperor's flesh and would never make any comments.

Ningguang continued, "I just want to hear Mr. Bai's opinion on this matter. Although it is easy to think from the same perspective, it is easy to fall into misunderstandings. Listening to other people's opinions can broaden your thinking, even if you can't use them as a reference."

"If it were me, I would probably use some tough methods to eliminate the suspicion of Zhongli."

Rhine pretended to think, but he didn't plan to answer seriously: "Zhongli is a decent man, so of course we can't be too tough with him.

However, we can send someone to ask him about the issues we have doubts about in person."

Ningguang frowned: "But if we do this, we will definitely alert the enemy."

Rhine smiled and said, "So what? The key point now is the ceremony of inviting the immortals.

Ningguang, aren't you suspecting that the Fatui might be doing something during the ceremony?

It doesn't matter if we startle the snake. If we scare the snake away from moving during the Immortal Invitation Ceremony, our goal will be achieved. After that, there will be no major incidents among the people. There are only a few fools in Liyue. Aren't you allowed to trample on them?"

Speaking of rising, Rhine added: "At worst, we can put Zhongli under house arrest for a period of time on suspicion of colluding with the Fatui, and accuse him of stealing Liyue ancient artifacts and reselling them to illegal profiteers in Zhidong.

At worst, I can just vindicate him. Given the safety of the entire Liyue, the interests of just one person are totally insignificant."

Ningguang shook her head. She totally disagreed with Lai Yin’s idea: “If the top leaders all think this way, then Liyue has come to an end.

The ritual of inviting the immortals is certainly important, but if innocent people are wrongly accused for this, it is too absurd and the Seven Stars will lose the support of the people. "

"I don't understand these, it's just a suggestion." Rhine did not comment.

As I said, the Emperor is in good health and no matter what happens, nothing will go wrong.

However, if Ningguang really dared to do this, Rhine would still be able to have fun watching.

The Seven Stars of Liyue have placed the Geo King under house arrest. If this topic happened in Fontaine, it would have made headlines for at least a week.

"But what Mr. Bai said is not entirely unreasonable. If we can scare the Fatui and prevent them from taking action, then we will be halfway successful."

Ningguang didn't reveal too much to Rhine, but just when he was resting, Ningguang received a letter.

After observing Zhongli for such a long time, the General Affairs Department decided that, if Ningguang did not object, they would question Zhongli in an official capacity on the topic of his excessive closeness to the Fatui executive "Young Master". If everything was fine, then everything would be fine.

But if he fails to explain clearly, the General Affairs Department might regard him as a suspect.

……

"Mr. Zhongli, I am Haihu from the General Affairs Department. We are investigating some criminals from Zhidong and found that you are related to them. Please cooperate with our investigation."

Zhongli looked at the newcomer and was not at all flustered by the situation: "If that's the case, I will cooperate."

Zhongli followed the people from the General Affairs Department to their office.

"Mr. Zhongli, tea."

The people in the General Affairs Department did not look down on Zhongli just because he was a suspect. On the contrary, Zhongli was a person of some prestige, so they treated him with courtesy.

"Mr. Zhongli is a respectable man. We can just conduct a routine investigation. After asking questions, you can leave. Please forgive us if it causes any trouble."

"No need to be so polite. If you have something to say, just tell me." Zhongli was completely off guard. He picked up the tea handed to him by his assistant, blew on it, and took a sip.

Honestly speaking, the General Affairs Department is still a little impatient, but the fact that these young people are full of enthusiasm is not a bad thing, and they have plenty of time to hone their skills.

I'm just answering some questions, and it won't take too long.

At least that’s what Zhongli thought at the time.
