Genshin Impact: Funina's Official Pastry Chef

Chapter 563 Goodbye Noklan Sarr

By the time Chang Ming and Funina arrived at interrogation room No. 3, the prison guards of Melo Petersburg had already "invited" the annoying guy here.

As the jailer handcuffed Noklan Sal's hands and feet to an iron chair, the interrogation temporarily led by Chang Ming himself gradually began.

Looking at the middle-aged man in front of him with disheveled hair, unshaven beard and ragged clothes, Chang Ming was a little surprised for a moment.

He really couldn't connect the homeless man in front of him with the elegantly dressed and high-spirited head of the Noklan family.

It seems...he didn't have a good time during his time in Mellow Petersburg - he might even not be treated as a human being.

While Chang Ming was observing him, Noklan Sal was also observing Chang Ming and Funina beside him.

Looking at the two people who were obviously somewhat intimate, Sal couldn't help but snorted coldly, and then he began to mock:

"I thought you were so capable... Turns out you're the pet of the Water God? Did you become the regent because of her?"

"you--"

Hearing this, Funina's beautiful eyes suddenly widened, and she subconsciously wanted to defend her husband, but before she opened her mouth... Chang Ming stopped her.

"Pet? Ah~ I know that there are many people who want to be Lady Funina's dog but don't have the skills. Can I take your words as a compliment?"

"As for whether I relied on her to get to the top... Don't tell me, don't tell me, I really did rely on Lady Funina to get to the top."

Chang Ming looked at the slightly surprised Sal with a half-smile. His dark red eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts and observe every possibility behind the words.

The first sentence is a joke used to make fun of someone, and is also a way of expressing the emotion of "not caring".

Provoke me? Insult me? That doesn't work on me. Can you do something more high-end?

The second sentence is the real truth. After all... Chang Ming entered Mo Mang Palace as a "private pastry chef" at the beginning.

After he gained Funina's trust with his pastries and got in touch with Fontaine's affairs, the position of regent naturally fell on him.

You could say that it’s true, but not entirely true.

Of course, there was another more important reason why Chang Ming was not angry. He had already figured out how to plot against the Noklan family. Why would he bother with a dying guy?

Thinking of this, Chang Ming waved his hand nonchalantly, looked at Sar who was still immersed in astonishment and asked:

"I just want to know one question. Did you pretend to be Leosley and move the little girl from the light punishment area to the heavy punishment area, and then kidnap her and hide her?"

"Nonsense! I am a noble after all! How could I do such a shameful thing?"

Sal immediately stood up from his chair, with a hint of anger flashing in his black eyes, as if... Chang Ming had really wronged him.

But if you could observe Thrall more closely, you would definitely be able to see a hint of doubt flashing in that flash of fire.

Yes, he was lying.

The biggest and most difficult lie in the world is a half-truth.

Sal did indeed falsely convey the imperial decree and did take Lenore away, but he did not do anything "indecent" to Lenore.

This is really his bottom line. His original intention was just to disgust Chang Ming and give him some trouble. He is not yet at the level of a psychopath.

But he didn't know why things had developed to this point - the little girl should have been sent back during this period of time, so why hadn't any prison guards come to interrupt the interrogation?

As a regent and a man who had lived for nearly five hundred years, Chang Ming was very sensitive to this hint of doubt and then fell into deep thought.

'Why is he confused? Rather than fear, terror, or even panic? Is there something else going on?'

'Or... is he wondering why I got here so quickly?'

Chang Ming couldn't figure out what Sal was thinking for a moment, but... he was very clear about one thing - this guy was definitely related to Lenore's disappearance.

"Ha... It seems you haven't figured out the current situation, Mr. Sal."

Chang Ming slowly stood up from his seat while moving his wrists, looking like he was about to hit someone.

"It's no use being tough in front of me. You'd better tell the truth. Repeatedly touching the bottom line of the rules... This is not allowed anywhere."

"I'm giving you a chance now - tell me the truth about Lenore, otherwise I'll have to consider some solutions that can't be made public."

Chang Ming deliberately lowered his voice so that people would feel scared and oppressed at first.

Sometimes... vague threats are much more effective than real threats.

"You, you are the regent of Fontaine! You can't lynch me! You are breaking the law! What's more, I am a noble! You can't do this to me!"

Sal's body began to shake violently, as if shaking like this could help him escape the fate of being beaten.

As Chang Ming's hand got closer and closer, Sal closed his eyes in despair, as if he was ready to accept his fate of being beaten.

As long as he didn't reveal Lenore's information and waited until others let Lenore go, he could leave here safely.

You can even ask for a reduction in sentence by claiming you were beaten by the regent, and return to the world above water sooner.

However...the imagined pain did not come, but instead a fragrance flowed into the nose.

That is the aroma from the food.

Sal opened his eyes in confusion and found that Chang Ming had put three lunch boxes on the table.

Two of them were blue, while the other was black - obviously for the prisoners.

"Since you don't want to communicate properly, then let's wait until you want to communicate normally."

As Chang Ming spoke, he handed another blue lunch box to Funina beside him and ate it quietly. In short, the premise of "being beaten" is that you will really be beaten.

But Chang Ming didn't even think about taking action, this premise didn't exist at all, so...Sarr's worries were completely unnecessary.

After being freed from physical pain, Sal breathed a sigh of relief and turned his attention to the black box that neither of them had touched.

He had to admit that he was moved.

The aroma emanating from that food... was the best thing he had smelled since coming to Melo Petersburg.

After all, they are serious criminals. According to the rules of Mello Petersburg, the food they eat every day is the worst in the entire underwater world, no doubt about it.

Thrall swallowed subconsciously, and then said righteously:

"You can't abuse prisoners! I need to eat too! This is the rule of Melo Petersburg! It's also the rule you set, Chang Ming! You must abide by it!"

Hearing this, Chang Ming raised a barely perceptible smile, then waved to the jailer behind him, indicating that the lunch box should be handed to Sal.

The jailer did as he was told, but...the jailer did not hand it to him directly. Instead, he walked up to him and let Sal take it himself.

Under the temptation of hunger and the good meal he hadn't had for many days, Sal snatched the lunch box and started to wolf it down without thinking.

And Chang Ming's plan...has also reached the final stage at this moment.

The next step is to wait for the protagonist to arrive, and once she arrives... the real interrogation can begin.
