81. Undercover
Three days later, Lin Chen opened his eyes, and the familiar bedroom, the antique decoration showed where he was at this time.
He picked up the alarm clock that had been placed on the counter and realized that it was only five minutes away from the last time he had left.
"It's good to have hope to go home!"
Lin Chen packed up his mood and finally began to face up to his current situation, and the worries and pessimisms that had been hidden in his heart disappeared.
Anyway, even if he stayed on the Teyvat continent for decades, it would only be a few days on the other side of the earth, and he didn't panic at all.
Paimon had already come out of the system, stretching his waist and wrinkling his face: "It's still comfortable here, but Ma Ma cooks a good meal..."
"That's my mom!"
Lin Chen was powerless to complain, restrained his emotions, and went out.
Amber was patrolling as usual, and Yingmei was dancing her sword in the courtyard, her body was light and her movements were clean and neat.
Lin Chen had also thought about practicing with her before, but later found that hot weapons were more fragrant, and with the adventure level, his attributes and permissions could be improved, and these swordsmanship and the like could be obtained without effort.
This thought was extinguished.
He and Paimon watched for a moment, and thenβ
Bumper β
There was a crisp knock on the door, and Paimon was bored, and quickly flew to the door to open the door.
"Little cutie, do you miss your sister?"
The voice of intellectual temptation, before people saw it, Lin Chen already knew who was coming.
"Lisa, why are you here?" Paimon opens the door completely.
Lisa walked over, the plump of her upper body drew a thrilling arc, and she pursed her lips and smiled: "Come and see my little cutie, do you need help?" β
"Huh?" Lin Chen was puzzled: "Sister Lisa, what do you mean?" β
"My sister just heard that you borrowed 100 million mora from Diluc, do you want to borrow it from your sister, just use yourself to pay off the debt."
Lisa bent over and smiled, her eyes narrowed into crescents, revealing a large patch of snow white in front of her.
"No, no need!"
Lin Chen felt as if there was a hot current on his nose, and his heart was also restless, so he hurriedly tilted his head to cover it up: "Sister Lisa, don't be joking, just say something directly." β
"Hehe, what a lovely kid."
Lisa touched her face and smiled as she aunted.
"Okay, okay, sister won't tease you... It was Jean who asked me to come to you and let you go to the Knights to talk to her, I heard about the Lawrence family..."
So fast?
Lin Chen was surprised.
Originally, I thought it would take at least ten days and half a month, after all, with the efficiency of the Knights, it may not be possible to fully grasp the clues of the collusion between the Lawrence family and the Fatui.
Could it be because the Lawrence family and the Fatui are about to begin?
"I see, let's go now."
Lin Chen didn't have anything to say, originally he wanted to discuss with Paimon to sell some money-making products to pay off his debts, but he was not in a hurry at this time.
Ying didn't plan to follow, she didn't have time now, she had been practicing martial arts at home, and it was obvious that she had long been aware of the danger of this world.
Soon, Lin Chen and Paimon followed Lisa to the Knights.
In the conference room, except for Spark Knight Klee and Wave Knight Eula, the other knights with titles are here.
"You're here."
The piano bowed slightly.
After taking her seat, Jean began to speak: "I think everyone should know that the reason why Lin Chen and Eula have explained to me earlier is that the Lawrence family may be secretly colluding with the Fatui. β
Others were not surprised, apparently they were more or less involved in the process of investigation.
"Then, ask Amber, the Scout Knight, to report back to us on the investigation."
Jean nodded in Amber's direction.
"Understood!"
Amber was obviously not so happy, after all, Eula was also her good friend, and her own family must be uncomfortable if there was such a big problem.
However, she still reported seriously: "According to my multiple inquiries and secret agents, it can be clear that the Lawrence family has indeed had an extremely ambiguous relationship with the Fatui recently, but there is still no key evidence to prove whether the Lawrence family has really colluded with the Fatui." β
Although anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Lawrence family has been in the same league with the Fatui nine times out of ten, it is no secret that the Fatui executive "Madame" has taken the heart of God from the upper echelons of the Knights.
But as long as it doesn't come to light, the Fatui will continue to have diplomatic relations with Mondstadt.
And it is precisely because of the sensitive status of the Lawrence family in the past, as well as the current status of the Knights, that this matter cannot be treated roughly, and must be quite cautious.
No conclusion can be drawn as long as there is no conclusive evidence.
"Amber, you're doing a great job."
Jean said a word of encouragement, and then glanced around with a slightly serious gaze: "Then in response to the recent actions of the Fatui and the Lawrence family, next, we need to do two things: first, we need someone to continue to track this matter and find out the key evidence; Second, we must be prepared in the near future to guard against a possible onslaught from the Fatui. β
As she spoke, she looked at Kaeya: "The second thing is to hand over the two to the cavalry captain Kaeya, Albedo and me, and Albedo is responsible for Kaeya on his side, you are responsible for informing him." β
Kaeya nodded, her usual lazy appearance much more serious.
"As for the first point..."
Speaking of which, Jean is a bit of a problem.
Obviously, it is not appropriate to give this kind of task to Amber, after all, the Knights of Favonius and the Lawrence family have a feud, and it is not easy for Amber to know the current information without being alarmed.
Even if she was asked to scout again, she probably wouldn't be able to see anything.
But other than that, other people don't know anything about it.
Unless Diluc can return to the Knights, there may be some hope.
She was struggling, but she saw Lin Chen raise his hand and get up, volunteering: "Captain Qin, leave this matter to me, after all, I am only an honorary knight, but I am not from Mondstadt, and it is easier to contact the people of the Lawrence family." β
Lin Chen recommended himself so much, not because he had a fever.
It's that he has already planned to let himself go undercover in the Knights over there, and if he takes this opportunity to show up directly when the Fatui and the Lawrence family meet.
Telling the Fatui that he was sent by the Knights undercover to find out information will give him an open view of their true plans.
He didn't believe that the Fatui and the Lawrence family were trading just a map of Mondstadt, and the reality was much darker than the game.
Besides, he had to beware of Rosalyn's wariness of him now, and he had to make a show to let her know that he was now a loyal Erwuzai.
"You...... It's a good fit. β
Jean thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.
It's just that she is still a little worried and advises: "Pay attention to protect yourself when you inquire about information, and retreat to notify us if you find danger." β
The two forces of the Fatui and the Lawrence family collide, and ordinary people are easy to be crushed if they are not careful.
Amber looked at him worriedly, but she could only purse her lips, clenched her fists tightly, and then prayed in her heart.
