America 1869: A Doppelganger Every Day

The first piece of news is that the Northern Pacific Railroad Company snatched the Yellowstone Park project from Li Changsheng.

It was also through the other party's efforts that Li Changsheng became the nominal president of the International Association for the Protection of Nature and Ecological Environment.

At least in America, Li Changsheng's words no longer carry any weight.

They pushed forward with this project because they wanted to build a railway that would connect directly to Yellowstone National Park.

They also want to acquire various development rights for Yellowstone National Park.

They were afraid that Li Changsheng would take these things away, which is why they excluded Li Changsheng.

The second news item is about a diamond scam.

The scam has now reached a critical point. The two con artists have successfully fooled several genuine American elites and persuaded them to jointly establish the San Francisco and New York United Mining and Commercial Corporation.

They even issued stocks.

Some people who heard the news bought stocks at high prices.

When Li Changsheng combined these two pieces of information, he immediately had an idea.

"You cheated me out of my money, and I can't do anything about it now, but that doesn't mean I can't cheat you out of your money."

"I'll take this opportunity to rip you off big time."

Li Changsheng arranged for his clones to indirectly reveal the entire gem mine incident to the Northern Pacific Railroad Company.

Sure enough, within a few days, the Northern Pacific Railroad Company had thoroughly investigated the matter.

The Northern Pacific Railroad saw that all those involved in this matter and the establishment of the company were well-known figures in America, including Horace, who had just lost the presidential election, as well as so many bankers, financiers, and scions of prominent families.

The Northern Pacific Railroad was immediately interested.

They wanted to make a fortune before anyone else noticed.

Not only did they snap up all the newly issued shares, but they also contacted two swindlers, wanting to buy the shares they held.

Originally, the two swindlers planned to sell their shares for 800 million.

As a result, the Northern Pacific Railroad Company, with its deep pockets, offered a price of $1200 million.

The two swindlers, seeing that a sucker had come to them, and since they were just about to run away with the money, tentatively negotiated a price, and finally settled on 1500 million.

After acquiring the shares, the Northern Pacific Railroad Company was only thinking about making money as quickly as possible.

They never imagined it would be a scam.

Similarly, after getting the money, the two scammers' first thought was to run away.

Unfortunately, the two con artists' plan could never succeed.

As they prepared all the money and were about to leave, they were knocked unconscious.

When they woke up again, all 1500 million was gone.

When the conman Arnold woke up and discovered his money was gone, his brain went completely blank.

"Where's the money, Slark? Where's our 1500 million?"

Slark woke up groggily, looked around, but there was no sign of money.

He was struck dumb.

"Gone? How could it be gone?"

"Arnold, do you think you took the money?"

Arnold said angrily.

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

"If I took it, can I leave it here?"

"And this money, only the two of us know about it. I can't possibly give it to a third person. Do you think I'd hide the money and come back for it later?"

Do you think there's still a chance for us to come back together?

"That's 1500 million yuan! Only if we cooperate can we possibly take the money away. If we don't cooperate, we won't be able to get the money at all."

"So I never doubted you, yet you doubted me."

Slark also realized what was happening.

"I was just anxious, wasn't I? After all, that's 1500 million. We worked so hard for so long to get that money, and we paid a lot for it."

"If we lose this money, we're finished."

Arnold naturally knew this and was also thinking about getting his money back as soon as possible. So, after looking around, he finally noticed something different.

He pointed to the footprints on the ground and said.

"These footprints are clearly someone else's; it seems we're being watched."

"These guys are ruthless. We've worked so hard to plan this for so long, and we finally got the money, but they just robbed us and ran away."

"If we chase after them now, do you think we can get our money back?"

Slark sat dejectedly on the ground.

"What are you thinking? The fact that they didn't kill us both means they're not worried at all that we'll find them."

"We've been planning this for so long, we were supposed to leave with the money, but they followed us and plotted for so long, took the money, and now they can get it back? It's a miracle."

"Now let's think about what to do next, shall we?"

Arnold took a deep breath.

"We don't have a single penny left. If we leave like this, we're completely finished."

"We only have one option now."

Slark exclaimed excitedly.

"What method?"

Arnold said, "All we have to do is push this around and say that we were all set up by someone else, that they were also victims and were deceived."

Slark looked at the other person as if he were a fool and said.

"We've really screwed over a lot of people this time. How could they possibly believe us if we told them the truth? If we told them the truth, they'd probably want to kill us."

Arnold sneered.

"Whether we tell them or not, they'll still want to kill us."

"If we still had money, we could run far away and make sure they couldn't find us. But now we don't have a single penny, so we can't run away. If we don't tell them the truth, death is all that awaits us."

"On the contrary, telling them the truth might give them a glimmer of hope."

Slark asked, "How so?"

Arnold said, "If the two of us can sell our shares to the Northern Pacific Railroad, do you think the other people, if they knew the truth, could also sell their shares?"

"Once they sell their shares, they won't bother us anymore."

"And if we help them, they should at least give us some money so we can leave safely."

"But we need to act quickly. If we wait until there are problems at the diamond mine, we'll miss our chance."

Both of them have excellent mental fortitude, which is why they were able to find a glimmer of hope even under such circumstances.

Neither of them knew that after they left, a figure appeared outside their house.

After watching the two leave, Li Changsheng's clone immediately informed Li Changsheng of the news.

When Li Changsheng learned that the two swindlers hadn't run away and were even planning to scam another batch, his eyes lit up.

Neither Horace nor the Northern Pacific Railroad were friends to Li Changsheng.

Both of these parties pose a threat to Li Changsheng.

This is a good opportunity to make some extra money.
