Time returns to the present.

After listening to Ying's third-hand story, Shao Yun pretended to understand and said, "So that's how it happened. This is probably how it happened."

"The guy named Vash was kidnapped by a group of victims' relatives led by an unidentified mysterious person, and Clorinde and Xiawolei were unfortunately injured."

After saying this, Shao Yun immediately put on an expression of agreement and continued, "But after your analysis, I feel that this guy Vashie will not have a good ending in the end."

"After all, they are all relatives of the victims. I feel that Vashey will be cut into pieces in the end, physically speaking."

Ying touched her chin, stared at Shao Yun, and finally asked: "Tell me the truth, Shao Yun, did you do this? Navia and I were in the opera house at the time, but we didn't see anything."

"However, to be able to defeat such powerful opponents as Clorinde and Xiawolei, in my impression, it seems that only you have such strength."

Hearing this, Shao Yun frowned slightly, with a hint of displeasure on his face after being "slandered".

"How is that possible? I don't have the time to bother with these trivial matters. If I had the time to play role-playing games and act as a hero, I would rather spend more energy to find out about the beautiful scenery of Fontaine, and then take you to enjoy it and tour it. Wouldn't it be better?"

Although Shao Yun tried his best to explain, Ying still felt that something was wrong.

Just as she was about to continue asking questions, Shao Yun suddenly had an idea and quickly changed the subject.

"Hey, don't dwell on this issue anymore! I'll treat you to a nice meal today. How about using the commission money I earned from completing commissioned missions? Let's celebrate the money I earned through 'labor' together!"

After saying that, Shao Yun took out a bag of Mora from his backpack. A quick glance showed that there were about six thousand of them.

Watching Shao Yun celebrating his earnings from the commission, Ying couldn't help but feel very confused.

"This... since when did completing a commission and earning commission fees become something worth celebrating and commemorating?"

Shao Yun explained: "For a bank robber like me, it is really worth remembering that I earned money through labor."

……

In the Momang Palace, Funina was currently in Villette's office.

She paced back and forth in the room anxiously, each step accompanied by the crisp sound of her high-heeled boots hitting the ground, these sounds seemed to tell of her inner anxiety and panic.

I saw her clenching her hands, frowning, and muttering something.

"Ah! What should I do? What should I do?"

On the other hand, Villette seemed relatively calm.

He sat steadily in his seat, staring intently at the door, as if he was patiently waiting for the security team members who were out on a tracking mission to return and bring back the latest news.

Perhaps it was because the sound of Fernina's high-heeled boots as she kept walking back and forth was so disturbing that Villette's ears began to hurt.

Finally, he couldn't help but suggested to Funina: "Ms. Funina, please calm down first. Why don't you sit down and rest for a while."

However, at this moment, Furninna would not listen to such advice at all. She grabbed her hair tightly in panic and spoke excitedly.

"How can I stay calm? Clorinde and Chavore were both injured by that mysterious gunman!"

"Now Clorinde is seriously injured and needs to recuperate. During this time, who can take on the responsibility of protecting me?"

Hearing Fernina's answer, Villette couldn't help but feel helpless.

He shook his head slightly, sighed, and said slowly: "I didn't expect that in the face of such a major incident, you would only pay attention to superficial issues such as the injuries of people and the lack of your own guards..."

Furninna rushed to Villette's table and shouted with obvious panic in her voice: "I really don't feel safe at all now!"

"What should I do if that mysterious gunman comes to embarrass me? Now you know how he slandered me!"

As she spoke, she gripped the edge of the table tightly with her hands.

Villette looked quietly at Furninna who was a little out of control. After a short silence, he slowly asked.

"You are the water god Fukaros, one of the seven rulers of the mortal world. Although you may not be a top warrior in terms of martial arts, you should still have some means of self-protection."

When Fu Nina heard this, a hint of barely perceptible panic flashed across her already slightly flustered eyes.

But she reacted very quickly, pretending to be calm and immediately found an excuse to explain.

"I am the most noble water god, so how can I easily get involved in such a vulgar and violent thing? That would be too unmannerly!"

After saying that, he slightly raised his chin to make himself look more imposing.

Villette saw all of Finnina's little movements and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

He was very familiar with Furninna's character of wanting to escape when encountering trouble.

After all, more than four hundred years have passed since we first met, and she has always been the same for such a long time.

So, Villette shook his head helplessly and sighed: "Alas...it seems that you are still afraid of trouble as always."

"Well, if that's the case, then Ms. Funina might as well just stay in Momang Palace."

"The security force of Mo Mang Palace... I'm sure that even if that mysterious person is very brave, he wouldn't dare to rush in here and cause trouble for you."

When she heard that Villette actually asked her to hide obediently in Momang Palace, Funina curled her lips and rejected it on the spot.

"How is this any different from being in jail? No, absolutely not! Then Villette, while Clorinde is recovering from her injuries, can you temporarily serve as my bodyguard?"

When Villette heard this, he was stunned and almost couldn't swallow his saliva, which got choked in his throat.

What's going on? Did Fukaros take the wrong medicine today? Why would he make such an outrageous request?

Back then, you wrote to me inviting me to serve as the highest judge of Fontaine, but that letter never mentioned that I also wanted to work part-time as your bodyguard!

You, Funina, might as well acknowledge yourself as the "Prime Minister's father". From now on, we can just go our separate ways. I will call you the Water God and you can call me Dad!

Seeing that Villette didn't respond for a long time, Funina reached out and gently shook his arm, asking coquettishly: "Hey, why don't you give me a reply! Don't just stand there in a daze!"

That Villette shook her head helplessly.

He calmed himself down, then slowly said, "How do you want me to answer, Ms. Funina? I have more things to deal with now than you can imagine."

Then, Villette slowly stretched out four fingers and said to Funina, "First, the Cabriere Chamber of Commerce is selling Les, and there should be someone inside the security team and the Momang Palace who is supporting them. I need to arrange for someone to investigate immediately."

"Secondly, the mysterious gunman injured Clorinde and Xiawolei, and now we lack a suitable duel agent!"

"Third, the families of the victims who participated in the kidnapping of Vashé, although their circumstances are extenuating, will still be tried according to the law, and I need to be present as the judge!"

"Fourth, Liyue sent a letter to send a special envoy to Fontaine to visit Miss Yan Fei who was attacked in Fontaine. I need to receive her in person."

After telling all four things one by one, Villette's tone still seemed very calm as he asked back.

"In such a troubled time, when I have to deal with all matters personally, you can actually come up with such an idea and ask me to act as your bodyguard?

"I have to say, your idea is really unique."

After hearing these words, Funina suddenly realized that the request she had just made was indeed a bit excessive, and she felt a little guilty.

So her originally tough attitude softened instantly, and she muttered: "Oh, but I just don't feel safe right now."

"Who knows if that mysterious gunman will suddenly come to cause trouble for me? If something really happens, what should I do?"

At this critical moment, a crisp and rhythmic knock on the door suddenly sounded, breaking the slightly dull atmosphere.

Then, Meilushin - Seruo, who was working hard in Momang Palace, opened the door and walked in.

She bowed slightly and reported to Navilette: "Lord Navilette, the envoy from Liyue has arrived at Momang Palace."

Hearing this, Villette was shocked and muttered in a low voice: "I didn't expect the Liyue envoy to come so quickly..."

After a moment, he adjusted his state, turned to face Funina, and said, "Ms. Funina, please go back to your room and rest first."

"As for the arrangements for Clorinde's guards during her recovery, I will definitely sort it out as soon as possible, please rest assured."

Although she complained a bit, and Villette was also troubled by Furninna's "crazy" behavior, but after all, they had worked together for more than four hundred years...she was used to it, and it was not the first time that she helped solve problems when she encountered difficulties!

Then, Villette turned his gaze to Serlo in front of him and said, "Please lead Liyue's envoy directly to my office. Thank you for your hard work."

Upon hearing this, Serlo quickly nodded and responded, "It's not hard, then, Lord Villette!"

After saying that, she turned and left to carry out her mission.

Just as Funina was about to leave the office, she turned back and reminded him again: "Villet, you must find a suitable guard during this period! Don't forget it!"

Seeing that finding a suitable guard would not be an easy task, Villette proposed a relatively compromising solution.

"Well, in that case, let's make this transition for now. During this period of time, you stay in Mo Mang Palace."

"Avoid going out except when you have to attend the trial. This way, I can protect you to the best of my ability."

Although he had decisively refused to serve as Finnina's personal bodyguard, Villette eventually took on some of the security work related to Finnina.

Of course, this protection is only limited to the trial period and Mo Mang Palace.

As for other times, for example, when Funina wants to go out and play, that’s just wishful thinking!

After all, Villette herself was very busy, so how could she have the extra time and energy to hang out with her?

……

On the other side, in a secret reception room of the Buffati Mansion.

"Linnie, are you telling the truth?"

"It is absolutely true, father."

"If that's true, it's interesting. I have a guess as to who the mysterious gunman is..."

"Father thinks it is..."

"Don't tell anyone about this, not even your sister. Do you understand?"

"Understood, Father!"
