[Genshin Impact] A world where only travelers are alone

Chapter 7: Pure White Lily of the Valley

After receiving the report from Chloe's family, the law enforcement court responsible for maintaining daily public order immediately reported it to Navillatte, who rushed to the scene as quickly as possible.

Surprisingly, Villette saw a completely intact Chloe.

Well, if we ignore the conspicuous red mark on her head.

Chloe was lying on Aurelie's lap, wailing because of someone's rough application of medicine.

But as soon as she saw him coming, she immediately swallowed back the sounds that could be described as ghostly howls, and pleaded with Aurelie to be gentler.

"Hmph!" After treating the wound, Aurelie threw the cotton swab coated with red medicine into the trash can, and said angrily, "Do you feel the pain now? Why did you move so quickly? I told you to wait a moment!"

Chloe covered her head and cried, "It's obviously you who said it was too late."

That Villette had to interrupt their intimate conversation.

However, because there were other staff members from the Law Court who came to investigate, and because of the recent scandal, Villette couldn't ask about her situation too directly, so he could only ask in a businesslike manner: "Excuse me, ladies. Can you tell me what happened here just now?"

Aurelie nudged Chloe, who then took out a note from her pocket with a complicated expression.

"Anyway, it happened very suddenly. Before I could even see who was coming, the gun was already pointed at my head—"

*
Just as she said, when the gun was pointed at her head, Chloe's mind went blank and all she could see was the black muzzle of the gun.

The same is true for Aurelie.

But even so, the uninvited guest did not delay at all. He pulled the trigger directly and ran away without even looking to see if he had succeeded.

The moment the gunshot rang out, Chloe subconsciously closed her eyes.

As a result, the expected pain did not come. The soft-tipped bullet wrapped in rubber hit her forehead and left a red mark. Although it was a bit painful, it was nothing compared to a bullet in the head.

After hitting the target, the soft-tipped bullet fell to the ground quite neatly, breaking into two pieces, revealing the note inside.

Chloe covered her slightly scraped forehead with her hand and squatted down to pick up the note.

Aurelie also came over and first checked on her condition. After making sure that there was no serious problem, she went out to find the nearest law enforcement court to report the case.

What followed was what Villette saw when he arrived.

*
"Have you read what's on it?" Villette took the note from her hand that was put into a sealed bag.

"Not yet." Chloe shook her head.

She was very careful about her life, so even though this sudden incident did not cause any substantial harm, she was still vigilant. She even dared not touch the note because she was worried that the person had done it.

Even when she first picked up the note, she wrapped her hands with her sleeves before touching it.

Chloe told Navrette about her concerns.

After using the elemental power of water to investigate, Villette shook his head at her and said, "There's nothing poisonous or anything like that on it."

But since Chloe still had concerns, he had no intention of taking out the note and just continued reading it.

Unexpectedly, the letter was addressed to Villette—

[Dear Lord Navilette:

I didn't expect that your purity would be tainted by someone else just because I was away for a few days and nights for work. But it doesn't matter, this little mistake is like the scattered branches on a white rose, it only needs to be trimmed gently and it will no longer exist, and it will not affect your nobility.

If I do this, you will definitely keep looking at me in the judgement seat, right? I can't wait to see you scolding me, the "defendant".

This time I will definitely make you remember my name!
Your lover pure white lily of the valley】

Villette's expression was quite ugly. Longlong still didn't know enough about humans. Although he had a lot of experience on paper, books on how to interact with people wouldn't tell you how to interact with perverts.

Even though her life was in danger, the wording of the letter was so harsh that Chloe couldn't feel any emotion other than a chill.

She touched her arm, which was covered with goose bumps, and couldn't help asking, "Who is this pure white lily of the valley?"

Villette actually didn't know either. He had no impression of the name at all.

So after hearing her question, he could only respond with a blank look.

Looking at it this way, this pure white lily of the valley is really pitiful. No wonder he was so crazy that he wanted to attack her...

Chloe mourned for her in her heart for a second, but it was only a second. Soon she began to worry about her life: "If we don't know who the pure white lily of the valley is, what should we do next?"

After all, it has risen to the level of murder. The next investigation will be transferred to the Zhuying Court. However, the number of Meilushin is not large, and the investigation progress will not be too fast if there are not enough people to handle it.

Unfortunately, Chloe herself couldn't see what the person who came looked like.

While trying to recall who the Pure White Lily of the Valley was, Violet made the next arrangements properly: "Before the matter is resolved, I will strengthen the patrols of the security team in this area for safety reasons. In addition, I will also deploy a group of security agencies around your house in case of emergency."

His arrangement was reasonable and Chloe had no reason to refuse.

After doing all this, Villette talked to everyone in the Law Enforcement Court present, and then said politely: "Ms. Chloe, that's it for now. If you find any suspicious circumstances later, please be sure to report it in time and don't take risks."

"Yes, yes! Then Lord Villette!" Chloe stammered and watched him leave.

As soon as Villette left, Aurelie couldn't help but wave her hand in front of her eyes: "Okay, she's gone, put away your reluctant expression."

Chloe's face immediately turned red after her secret was exposed, but she still wanted to argue: "Who is reluctant to leave? Don't slander me!"

Aurelie knew that she was too scared to admit it because of what she had said before, so she couldn't help but find it funny: "It was me who advised you to seize the opportunity to be with Lord Villette before, why is it that now it seems like the other way around?"

Chloe pointed at her finger guiltily.

Aurelie patted her head. "Why are you still hiding things from me? I admit that what I said today was a bit biased. I saw that he was quite serious and responsible just now."

Chloe nodded frantically, and a string of compliments came out of her mouth, which made Aurelie laugh and cry.

"In the end, your feelings are up to you to decide. If you really like someone, don't miss it."

After saying this, she stayed with Chloe for a while before saying goodbye.

"Eh? Are you leaving so soon today?"

After all, she usually locked herself up in the troupe, and it was a rare occasion for her to come as a guest, so Chloe was a little reluctant to let her go.

Aurelie didn't want to leave so soon, but there were still a lot of things in the troupe that hadn't been dealt with. If she hadn't heard about the scandal, she probably wouldn't have taken the time to visit Chloe.

After all, the consequences of this trip will make her extremely busy in the future!

"I can't help it. The troupe has been in some trouble recently, so I can't leave for too long."

Since she said so, Chloe couldn't stop her, so she could only say, "Then go back quickly! Also, although I don't know much about drama, if you encounter financial difficulties, remember to tell me! You know, I'm not short of money!"

Aurelie waved her hand to indicate that she understood.
