Genshin Impact, Raiden Shin joins the chat group

Andrew left Su Hao's villa and headed towards the pre-arranged location, thanks to Xia Worei's reminder.

From the moment Andrew left Suhao's villa, his expression remained one of worry and tension.

This was the expression that would confuse the people behind the scenes. Charlotte and Chavoret gave Andrew emergency training to maintain this expression.

Meanwhile, Su Hao and his group hid in Black Ella's shadow, secretly watching Andrew.

Soon, Andrew wandered around Fontainebleau and arrived at the agreed location, which was not remote at all; in fact, it was quite lively.

It was already eleven o'clock, but the place was still so lively, with bursts of laughter and playful noises coming from all around, as if some kind of party was being held.

Inside the shadowy space, Su Hao frowned slightly as he looked at the lively scene around him, and asked with some surprise, "Is it really that lively here in Fengdan at midnight?"

Aside from Mondstadt, other countries aren't usually this lively at night; Liyue only gets this lively during special holidays.

At this time, Inazuma and Sumi were basically already asleep.

As for why Mondstadt is so lively, well... the Mondstadt drunkards are not just a name.

For them, midnight is roughly the time when they've just woken up and are having fun.

“No, normally it wouldn’t happen.” Charlotte shook her head, also somewhat puzzled. “But it’s not unheard of. Maybe there’s some special event today. What does Charlotte think?”

Chavoret looked at Charlotte, who was a reporter and knew a lot about everything in Fontaine.

Although she was the captain of the special patrol team, she didn't know much about most of the miscellaneous matters in Fontaine, let alone notorious criminals.

Xia Wore could recite all of the prisoner's experiences by heart, but these trivial matters were a bit too much for her.

"Ah, let me think about it."

Charlotte, seeing that Chavory had asked her, pondered for a moment, then looked at Black Ella beside her and asked, "Can I see the surrounding buildings?"

"The view from here is too narrow; I'm not sure which area of ​​Fontaine this is."

The field of view within the shadow space is quite small; to put it another way... the field of view is as large as the shadow.

Now, Su Hao and his group are hiding in Andrew's shadow, so their viewpoint is basically locked on him, although they can also see buildings on the side.

But this is a narrow alley, and you can't see anything around you at all.

“No problem.” Black Ella nodded, then snapped her fingers, and a hole appeared next to Charlotte.

Charlotte peeked out and found herself on the roof, with everything around her in sight.

"Wow!" Charlotte's eyes gleamed with a unique light. She suddenly felt that if she possessed this ability, wouldn't the world be vast? She could go anywhere!

And with this ability, no region can stop him, and the truth remains undiscovered.

Despite her excitement, Charlotte quickly memorized the surrounding buildings, a knowing glint in her eyes later.

Charlotte returned to the shadow space and looked at everyone seriously, saying, "I understand. There is indeed a banquet nearby today."

"It seems to be the coming-of-age ceremony of the son of a certain winter merchant. He will be hosting a banquet for relatives and friends here tonight. It is said that many merchants are attending this event."

"Well, it's called a coming-of-age ceremony, but it's actually a gathering of all sorts of businessmen."

Charlotte shook her head and offered her condolences for the son of the Winter Merchant. Born into a merchant family, almost everything was tied to profit.

"Solstice Merchant?"

Ella frowned slightly.

Gan Yu was the same; her expression was somewhat subtle because the Winter Merchant had appeared at this critical juncture.

This is not a good thing, because Winter Solstice is completely linked to the Fools, and the Winter Solstice merchant might actually be a member of the Fools.

"A coincidence?" Xia Worei frowned as well, because if Andrew met with that person at this location and something happened, the blame would fall on the Winter People.

“Should we create an accident and get them to leave?” Black Ella said expressionlessly. Although she disliked the Winter People, she didn’t want them to be dragged into this for no reason.

Because once Zhi Dong is dragged into this matter, the person behind the scheme to harm the young master will probably be overjoyed.

And regardless of whether the Winter Merchant is a member of the Fools, once he is involved in this matter, the Fools will inevitably get involved.

When the Winter Mission visited Liyue, they were harassed by the Liyue Seven Stars. Executors Arecino and Tartaglia were among the first to come to their aid.

Black Ella knew how troublesome the Fools were, so she was wondering whether she should drive them away.

"No, that's too deliberate and might alert them," Chiori said, indicating that it wouldn't be good.

Su Hao, Gan Yu, and Xia Wolei also nodded, agreeing that maintaining the status quo was the best course of action.

Time passed slowly, and Andrew stood in the alley, quietly waiting for his contact to arrive.

It was almost midnight when a man wearing a cloak and a mask walked over.

"?!"

Looking at the man's attire, Andrew immediately realized that this person had come to meet him, and he quickly walked over.

"Stop here, don't come any closer." The cloaked, masked man told Andrew not to approach, his tone cold. "Let's keep a safe distance."

“I don’t know if you got anything from Su Hao, but you’re standing right there now.”

Andrew didn't move forward. He stared at the man and said, "My wife! How is my daughter?!"

Andrew was somewhat agitated, even though he knew his daughter and wife were still in the other party's hands.

Although Lady Xia Worei told her that they would never kill the hostage, because if they dared to, Su Hao would definitely not let them off the hook.

The person behind the scenes definitely wants to clear their name and extricate themselves, and doesn't want to cause trouble for themselves at this critical juncture.

Even though Xia Wore said that, Andrew was still very worried, because he was concerned about what he would do if something happened to them.

"Hmph! Just focus on doing your job well, and they'll be fine."

The man snorted coldly. He was also a little suspicious at the moment. He looked around and, after confirming that there was no one else, continued, "And, how did Su Hao answer you?"

Did he say anything? Did you give yourself away?

Seeing the man's words, Andrew also became somewhat assertive and said, "I haven't exposed myself. Lord Su Hao did tell me some things."

“But you must return my wife and daughters to me. How do I know you won’t break your promise?”

At this moment, Andrew was following Xia Wore's advice and wanted to know the situation of his wife and daughter as soon as possible.

Su Hao said that as long as he asked this question, he could overhear the other person's thoughts, and thus find out the location of his wife and daughter.

"..." The man was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, come with me. Anyway, your usefulness is only so-so."

"If you see your wife and daughters and still dare to make demands, then you can all go together."

The man walked back the way he came.

Andrew was slightly taken aback by the other party's quick agreement, because this was not quite what he had planned.

As Xia Wore had anticipated, reaching this point would require much wrangling and negotiation, but she hadn't expected the other party to agree so quickly.

This made Andrew somewhat happy, but at the same time he was also a little worried, because the other party agreed so readily, did he want to kill him?

But soon, Andrew glanced around and immediately calmed down, regaining his confidence.

Want to kill him?! You're kidding!! You'll have to get past Lord Su Hao first!!!

Although Andrew didn't know where Lord Su Hao and the others were, he knew that if he were in danger, Lord Su Hao would definitely come to his rescue.

Andrew followed the man, heading towards a certain place.

Inside the shadowy space, Su Hao frowned slightly. He had just used the Grass God's inheritance to see what the man was thinking.

The other party did intend to take Andrew to his wife and daughters, but his idea was simple: after taking him there, he would extract information from him and then kill him.

And... his backer was actually the Executor of the Fools—the Prince.

"What's going on?" Su Hao's expression was very strange. He even felt that the inheritance of the Grass God was malfunctioning and had managed to obtain such information.

"What's wrong, young master?" Ella noticed her young master's strange expression.

Gan Yu and the others looked at Su Hao with some surprise, not understanding why he would show such an expression.

"Did you hear some news?" Shen He saw Su Hao's strange expression and immediately guessed that after using the Grass God's inheritance, he must have heard that man's thoughts.

Seeing Su Hao's strange expression, Chiori also said, "Judging from your expression, this information seems a bit absurd."

Xia Wore and Charlotte, among others, also watched Su Hao silently, awaiting his answer.

“It’s utterly absurd.” Su Hao nodded, looking at Black Ella and saying, “Follow them. I can sense… who that person is planning to frame tonight.”

“Yes, young master.” Black Ella nodded, controlling her shadow powers to secretly follow Andrew.

The others stared expectantly at Su Hao, awaiting his answer.

Under everyone's gaze, Su Hao finally sighed and then said, "Well, that man's backer is Tartaglia."

"Who?" Charlotte was taken aback, then gasped, "It's that Winter Fools' Enforcer?!"

"My God?! He's the mastermind?! If it's him... then all those Fatui members entering Fontaine recently, is this a conspiracy?!"

Xia Worei frowned and shook her head decisively, saying, "No, impossible. If it were that Fool's Enforcer, how could he do something so stupid?"

“I’ve heard of that Fatali’s executor, Tartaglia. He’s a fighter who’s utterly disdainful of all this complicated stuff.”

"Besides, how could he possibly be the murderer in the serial disappearances of teenage girls? How old is he?"

Chavorei denied this, stating that D'Artagnan could not possibly be the perpetrator of the serial disappearances of teenage girls, whether based on her age or any other motive.

If we really say he's the murderer, then wouldn't that mean... he started committing crimes before the other person was even born?

Even a musical drama probably wouldn't dare to portray it like this, right?

“Yes, D'Artagnan is a combat idiot. If he really had something to ask the young master, he would have come and asked him himself, instead of doing something like this.”

Even Black Ella, who dislikes the Fatui, thinks this information is basically false.

“Yes, I’ve been in contact with that executive officer, and he’s unlikely to be that kind of person.” Gan Yu also felt that Dadalia wouldn’t do such a thing.

If he were truly that kind of person, his true nature would have been pretty much revealed back in Liyue.

Gan Yu believed that she was quite good at judging people, and even if she wasn't, the Emperor, Su Hao, Ning Guang, Ye Lan and others were very good at it.

"So... this blame is being shifted onto that Fatui executor?"

At this moment, Chiori realized something and said, "The person behind this is far too audacious."

Don't be fooled by the fact that the Fools' Enforcers are suppressed on Su Hao's side; elsewhere, however, they represent the face of Queen Winter.

To dare to shift the blame onto the Executors of the Fools, do they really have a death wish?
