Chapter 1549: Chapter 1544: Plotting Face-to-Face

The distinction between primary and secondary has always been clear, as Miss Liushuang has already demonstrated very well.

Specifically for tonight, team building is undoubtedly the top priority.

But besides that, reviewing previous arrangements is also one of the considerations when choosing a venue.

Currently, everything is developing ideally, except for a minor flaw in the Punishment Department’s leader’s grasp of the main conflict.

This flaw even transmitted to the wine glass in hand.

The clear liquid flows down, yet Professor Lanaya seems oblivious.

The stare directed this way mistakenly interpreted Sunny as her main target.

Fortunately, with Professor Lanaya’s character, Fu Qian is not very worried about her withdrawing the previous funding sponsorship over such matters.

”A very peculiar state, I bet she’s here for the Academy.”

In view of this, Fu Qian did not wait for questions to be raised and proactively explained, using exceedingly bold language.

At that moment, one could see the slight stumble in the steps of the blonde Sunny.

Due to Fu Qian’s indication, Ji Liushuang did not deliberately conceal her identity as a student in her words from before till now.

With Sunny’s hearing, confirming that this table consists of the legendary Academy guests is hardly a problem.

In this situation, bringing up this topic about herself so bluntly indeed had an overly impactful force.

Although this was indeed her purpose in coming here...

Of course, she was not the only one deeply shocked.

”What’s so strange?”

Upon hearing the mention of coming for the Academy, Lanaya’s expression instantly turned serious.

The virtue of the Punishment Department’s leader is that she never delays matters due to personal interests and grievances.

”Incomplete.”

Fu Qian did not keep people guessing, concisely pointing to the core.

Bang!

The novice waiter finally dropped a piece of meat onto the customer.

...

”What’s incomplete?”

The sudden mishap undoubtedly drew everyone’s attention.

But given the previous behavior, no one showed the slightest blame towards the newly-employed Sunny.

Even the victim, laughingly, picked up the golden crispy food on his clothes, placed it into his bowl, and said this serving was on him.

Witnessing the entire progression and seeing Sunny flush red and handle the aftermath, Lanaya turned back to continue the bold conversation.

The foremost figure in the Punishment Department is here, and if things really go amiss due to being too straightforward, it would certainly justify the money spent on wine.

”Although she appears physically sound, the feeling she gives is hardly that of a human.”

Fu Qian openly commented, with eyebrows slightly furrowed, fully displaying the demeanor of a well-versed scholar.

”Non-human... Why can’t I see that?”

Sadly, Lanaya, too accustomed to professors’ ways, was clearly not buying this.

Upon hearing, she once again scrutinized, but promptly raised doubts.

Although she regretted it the moment the words were out.

Indeed, that person didn’t even speak, merely gesturing toward his eyes with his right index and middle fingers.

An arrogant smile emerging, the confidence of a Demigod came rushing forth.

...

”If she’s not human, then what is she?”

Though her blood surged, as the head of the Punishment Department, Lanaya maintained her perseverance, and after a slight calm down, persisted in asking.

Even Sunny, now calming down as well, could be seen pricking up her ears to listen.

”That is hard to say, a remnant? A puppet? A doll?”

Yet Fu Qian’s posture grew unusually humble, even showing some astonishment.

”The only certainty is, if she truly is a doll, the one controlling her is undoubtedly extraordinary.”

”Even for me, without prior exposure to similar situations, it would likely be difficult to notice the oddity.”

”...And you say she’s here for the Academy?”

The downside of a department employee ranking higher is becoming apparent here.

Unable to discern the truth of the claim, Lanaya had no choice but to proceed along the line of thought.

”Or else, give me a reason for her being here?”

This time Fu Qian chose to use a reductio ad absurdum, blinking as he questioned.

”Escaped dolls finding freedom, working diligently in a small shop, living a mundane life in anonymity?”

...

Looking at the blonde Sunny barely maintaining a smile while greeting customers there, Lanaya fell silent for a moment.

Although the sensory aspect was insufficient to detect abnormalities, her appearance combined with that outfit indeed gave a slight doll-like vibe.

And Lanaya found it notably difficult to convince herself of the story version Fu Qian had just mentioned.

She frequents this place regularly, making it not hard to gather such information, given the intention.

But the issue lies here; if that truly was the goal, knowing well that one glance would reveal the oddity, what purpose would the disguise serve?

”So the trouble you mentioned earlier was merely due to this discovery?”

Feeling the situation’s strangeness, Lanaya frowned and recalled Fu Qian’s earlier speech.

”What else?”

Unfortunately, the other party furrowed his brow even more intensely than she did, seemingly puzzled over why he was asked such an apparent question.

...

Logically there indeed is no flaw, but...

”So do you think it’s necessary to take her back for questioning?”

Nonchalantly placing the broken glass aside, Lanaya’s stance momentarily grew somewhat poised, seeking Fu Qian’s advice on handling it.

Don’t even think about making an easy scapegoat of me again, no matter how much you try to distance yourself, you’ve got to be implicated in this thing!

”No need.”

Nevertheless, amidst Professor Lanaya’s steely resolve, the troublesome employee who constantly challenged leadership surprisingly shook his head firmly.

”We’re already asking now, aren’t we?”

Before Lanaya could say more, Fu Qian was already pointing at Sunny wiping the table over there.

”Or do you think taking her back for interrogation would yield more?”

... Is this the reason you communicate so boldly?

Not only is he unafraid of being overheard by the person involved, but it’s fundamentally to let the person involved hear, relying on observing her response?

Lanaya suddenly realized much, reluctantly acknowledging the cleverness of this method.

Originally, she was simply behaving oddly without doing anything excessive, and the Academy is not the Night Watchman—

”And the reason is that she diluted your wine?”

Before the thought was even complete, Fu Qian added another sentence.

”The wine was diluted—”

This time Lanaya couldn’t maintain a contemplative expression, immediately grabbing the bottle beside and sniffing, then her face changed dramatically.

”Yes, although I diluted it, with so many people here, if we pinned it on her, she’d be unable to refute.”

Fu Qian let out a cold laugh, strategizing confidently.

”You diluted it?”

Almost crushing the bottle again, this information had Lanaya glaring wide-eyed.

”Yes, I thought having the wine appear fuller could minimize your resistance to agreeing to foot the bill.”

Fu Qian appeared completely justified.

”But don’t worry, we both haven’t been drinking much anyway.”
