Chapter 48: The Bad Woman's Interrogation

"An Yi doesn't want to talk? Then forget it."

"Eh?" Lin Anyi's heart was in turmoil. He thought that Alecino would show a ruthless attitude after he refused to confess, but she surprised him with her sudden calmness. He even changed his impression of her, thinking that she might not be as cruel and unreasonable as she seemed.

"It seems that she is not that bad."

Just when Lin Anyi began to change his mind about Alecino, a chain shining with cold light suddenly appeared in Alecino's hand. This sudden change made Lin Anyi go from surprise to horror in an instant. He had never expected such a situation, and Alecino took advantage of this opportunity.

The chain danced in her hand, making a crisp and pleasant but slightly cold sound. Her movements were swift and skillful—she was obviously prepared.

"I will make you tell everything tonight, Lin Anyi!" Alecino's voice was unquestionable and firm, with a hint of unhidden anger. This was not an inquiry, but an order.

Lin Anyi only realized how dangerous his situation was at this moment. His body quickly left his seat as if by reflex, deftly dodging the chain that was flying at him. In this emergency situation, he almost instinctively shouted, "Alecino, what do you want to do?"

"What? Of course, I want to find a way to make dear Anyi tell the truth." Although Alecino's voice was gentle, it was filled with an unquestionable determination—like the warm sun in winter, warm but with a hint of chill.

Her words floated into Lin Anyi's ears, making his back involuntarily shiver. Lin Anyi tried to stay calm, struggling to find a glimmer of hope, hoping to get rid of this oppressive feeling.

"You are the Fatui executive of the Winter! Are you sure you want to do this to the boyfriend of Fontaine's former water god?" He tried to raise the issue to the diplomatic stage to stop the [servant]'s actions.

However, Alecino just smiled lightly, with a cunning light in her eyes: "As long as you don't tell anyone, who will know?" Her voice was low and charming, revealing an irrefutable determination.

Lin Anyi realized that words alone could not change the situation. His heart tightened, and he decided to use the last resort. But before that, Alecino had already taken action.

"Funina."

Alecino said these three words lightly, her voice as calm as water, but they hit Lin Anyi's heart like a heavy hammer. These three words seemed to be an invisible bondage, making Lin Anyi feel powerless to resist.

Hearing the threat in the other party's words, he knew that once it came to Funina, he could not take any risks. In this situation, Lin Anyi felt that all his will to resist was drained away. In the end, he fell silent and gave up the last struggle.

After Alecino tied him up with chains, Lin Anyi tried to maintain a tough attitude. Facing the upcoming torture, he said coldly: "Isn't it just torture? Come on!"

Although he was tough enough, a trace of uneasiness inevitably flashed in his eyes. This was probably the only resistance he could show.

In his heart, to protect Funina, he could not directly engage in physical conflict with Alecino. But during the torture, what would it matter if he concealed the truth a little? Anyway, Alecino didn't know the truth!

"I'm so stupid, really."

Lin Anyi sat in the chair, exhausted, and completely realized his naivety. "I thought Alecino was just an excellent executive officer, but I didn't expect that she was also a good interrogator..."

Under Alecino's torture, all defenses gradually collapsed. As an ordinary person without any training, Lin Anyi completely realized that he was unable to hide any facts in front of this senior interrogator.

Not to mention Alecino, as an executive officer of the Fatui, her methods were far beyond Lin Anyi's imagination. All of Lin Anyi's resistance and lies were eventually exposed one by one under her meticulous interrogation.

His lofty words eventually turned into powerless nonsense. Under Alecino's continuous pressure, he reluctantly revealed all the truth.

"So, not only was Clorinde kissed by force, but she also coerced you... and pushed you?"

Alecino sat on the table, looking down at Lin Anyi, who was tied up on the chair. Her voice was soft but sharp. Lin Anyi, bound to the chair, faced Alecino's scrutiny with an extremely ugly expression. Although his heart was full of humiliation and anger, he felt an irresistible sense of oppression in front of Alecino's stern and deep eyes.

Alecino was in a complicated mood at this time. She was no longer the angry executive who pursued revenge blindly. Anger cannot change the past; it will only consume one's energy.

After all... what has been done has been done. No matter how angry she was, she could not change the fact that Clorinde had taken advantage of the opportunity she gave her to take Lin Anyi away. As an adult, instead of being helpless and furious, it is better to think about how to make up for her losses.

Thinking of this, Alecino's eyes were on Lin Anyi.

"But, damn..."

Lin Anyi gritted his teeth, his voice full of unquestionable firmness: "That was the last time. I will never betray Funina again!"

Alecino's fingertips gently stroked Lin Anyi's cheek, her movements were gentle and seductive, but full of dangerous hints.

"You said that was the last time? Really?" Her voice was low, with an irresistible charm.

"Of course!" Lin Anyi's voice almost roared, trying to cover up his inner wavering.

Alecino's eyes suddenly became deep, staring into Lin Anyi's eyes. Her gaze flashed not only with calm and calculation but also with a dangerous light.

"But I don't want that to be the last time," she said slowly, her voice soft yet still firm. "Of course, only for me."

Hearing this, Lin Anyi's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, his eyes fixed on Alecino's unbearable behavior. For some reason, Alecino took off her high heels, and every move revealed a kind of danger and temptation.

"You... what are you going to do?" Lin Anyi's voice trembled, and he tried to break free from the chair, but the restraints of the chains made him unable to move.

Alecino chuckled, her voice full of irresistible charm. "Don't be nervous, I just want to buy you a drink."

As she said that, she elegantly picked up the glass of wine that Lin Anyi had not finished drinking from the table. Then, in his shocked eyes, she slowly poured the wine, with an alluring aroma, onto her smooth jade feet.

Lin Anyi stared at this scene in amazement, and he felt his reason gradually blur in front of Alecino's behavior.

"Drink it, Anyi, this is your favorite Liyue Drunken Immortal Brew," Alecino's voice was low and seductive, and her eyes shone with anticipation.
