Conquering the world from the Kaiser's driver

"Klein! I order you to put down the gun!"

"Tsk..."

After hearing Cecilia's order, Klein put down his gun unhappily. After all, Cecilia was his immediate superior, with a higher rank and position than him, so he had to obey.

Lin Shangzhou felt much more at ease when he heard Cecilia's roar, and the fear in his heart subsided a lot. With Cecilia by his side, he didn't have to worry about Klein shooting him. At least his life was safe.

Turning his head, Lin Shangzhou was surprised to find that Alexandrine was there too, followed by Elena, Noah and Lol.

After a few people came over, Alexandrine quickly walked to Lin Shangzhou, held his wrist, pulled him to the side and protected him behind her. This made Lin Shangzhou feel amused and helpless. Is it necessary to treat him like this?

Alexandrine stared at Klein with a vigilant look, as if he would shoot Lin Shangzhou at any time.

Seeing the German Emperor protecting Lin Shangzhou, Klein became even more angry. He didn't know why the emperor cared so much about a Chinese person.

"Fritts, what's going on?"

Cecilia asked Lin Shangzhou, but before Lin Shangzhou could say anything, Klein spoke first: "Lady Cecilia, this guy has a gun in his possession, and the evidence is on the driver's seat of the car."

"what?!"

Cecilia and the others looked at Lin Shangzhou in surprise, but their surprise soon disappeared because they all believed in Lin Shangzhou and knew that he would never do such a thing as "privately storing guns".

Walking to the driver's seat, Cecilia saw the P08 pistol inside. She was confused as to why this pistol appeared in the car.

"Klein, do you have any evidence to prove that Fritz was hiding guns?"

Cecilia turned and looked into Klein's eyes and asked. Klein replied slowly:

"Lady Cecilia, the pistol was found in the car, and he is your Majesty's driver, the one who drives this car every day. The first suspect I thought of was naturally him. Maybe he got it from a syndicalist and was waiting for an opportunity to assassinate your Majesty."

Klein's words caused great dissatisfaction among Cecilia and Alexandrine. The German Emperor shouted at him, "You are talking nonsense. Fritz will never hurt me!"

"Your Majesty, how can you be completely sure that this Chinese man has no intention of harming you? He is not a German, who knows if he actually has dissatisfaction with you and Germany in his heart? Maybe tomorrow..."

Klein continued, and even though the Kaiser had clenched his fists in anger, he had no intention of stopping.

Cecilia glared at him and said:

"Klein, shut up!"

"Okay, Lady Cecilia, I'll shut up now."

Lin Shangzhou looked down at Alexandrine who trusted him 100% and was deeply moved. He was also deeply moved by the attitudes of the people present except Klein. He knew that they must believe that the gun was not his, but he did not expect that they did not even have the slightest doubt.

.

Chapter 23: Taking a Step Back and Unexpected Situations

Cecilia was annoyed by Klein's indifferent look. She had already guessed where the gun came from. It was Klein who instructed the deputy driver a few days ago to set it with the intention of deliberately framing Lin Shangzhou.

But she couldn't figure out why Klein did this. Was it just because he hated Lin Shangzhou? And it didn't make sense to frame him like this. Lin Shangzhou was just an ordinary citizen. How could he get a gun? Klein should know this. So why did he do this?

Cecilia picked up the pistol on the seat and took a look. It was just an ordinary P08 pistol, very common in the German army. If someone had connections, he might be able to get this gun.

"Klein, what you said is not enough reason for you to suspect Fritz is the owner of this gun. He is just an ordinary citizen and has no way to obtain guns. Rather than saying that he is the owner of this gun, I suspect that it was the proxy driver you arranged before who found the pistol in the car the day after he left. I have reason to suspect that he is the one who hid the gun."

Cecilia told Klein that she knew Klein had prepared the gun, but she wasn't stupid enough to say it out loud.

In the face of Cecilia's reasons, Klein remained calm. If others saw it, they would probably not suspect him, but Lin Shangzhou.

He cleared his throat and said:

"Lady Cecilia, what you said makes sense, but I took a photo when he took out the pistol and asked someone to develop it. The developed photos will be sent directly to my uncle, and my uncle will decide what to do with this man. What do you think?"

"you--"

Cecilia widened her eyes and glared at Klein. She didn't expect Klein to do this. If the prime minister knew about this, she would have no room for explanation. With the prime minister's experience, he would definitely see that there was something fishy, ​​but a driver was not enough for him to think so much.

"I think it will be useless even if you use this excuse to deal with my uncle. After all, you are His Majesty's personal guard. As a personal guard, you failed to find the danger around you in time. No matter who the gun belongs to, you have failed in your duty, right?"

Klein smiled cunningly. He was very satisfied with Cecilia's reaction. This was exactly the kind of performance that showed that she knew everything but could do nothing.

(If you didn't kill Wei Lun, I wouldn't have done this. Who made you so impulsive?)

He sighed in his heart. Although Wei Lun was wrong, he was very dissatisfied with what Wei Lun had done, but Cecilia killed Wei Lun in front of him without giving him any face at all, which made him resentful of Cecilia.

"Why are you doing this? If this matter gets out, it won't be of any benefit to the Prime Minister, right?"

Cecilia asked in confusion, clenching her fists.

"Of course I know this, but isn't it you who will be the key if others find out? I believe that you were put in the confinement room before others knew about this matter. What could you do in the confinement room, Lady Cecilia?"

Klein's words made Cecilia grit her teeth in anger, but she could do nothing but get angry. Just as Klein said, if the prime minister knew about this, he would first arrest Lin Shangzhou and then put himself in solitary confinement. By the time he came out of the solitary confinement room, Lin Shangzhou would have been thrown into prison to spend the rest of his life, or he might be directly executed.

Alexandrine glared at Klein. Her trust in Lin Shangzhou was not blind, but rational. She could probably guess what was going on. She wanted to say something, but she opened her mouth and couldn't say anything. She knew that even if she said it, what would be the use? She didn't have the majesty of an emperor like her grandfather. She couldn't do anything. She had never felt so powerless as she did now. She couldn't even protect her own friends.

Her identity as the German Emperor was just a useless title at this moment...

Thinking of this, a gleam of light flashed in Alexandrine's eyes, and she knew what she should do.

Lin Shangzhou stood behind Alexandrine and felt extremely powerless. What could he do? He could do nothing. He knew that as long as he left the protection of Alexandrine and Cecilia, he would become a complete "yellow monkey" in Klein's eyes.

"Then please hand him over to me, Lady Cecilia. At least I can guarantee that my methods will not be so rough. If my uncle sends someone, he might suffer."

Klein looked at Lin Shangzhou and said, and when he turned his head, Alexandrine glared at him fiercely.

"I will never let you take Fritz away!"

Alexandrine said to Klein, then stretched out her arms to protect Lin Shangzhou behind her. Her actions made Klein frown and feel very troubled.

He didn't care about Alexandrine, because she had nothing but the identity of the emperor, but it was precisely because she was the emperor that Klein felt troubled. The German emperor protected Lin Shangzhou, and if he wanted to take Lin Shangzhou away, he had to get through the German emperor first. He couldn't be rough with the German emperor, right? If he was rough with the German emperor, Cecilia's fist would hit him.

Klein can't beat Cecilia.

I still have to bring up my uncle's name...

"Your Majesty, if you insist on protecting him, then I can only ask my uncle to personally bring people to arrest him."

Klein said to the Kaiser with a sigh.

Hearing the word "Prime Minister", Alexandrine's body trembled. She was very afraid of the current prime minister, even though the prime minister always looked kind when facing her. She knew that her current situation was caused by the prime minister. She could also foresee what would happen in Wuyou Palace if the prime minister personally brought people to capture Lin Shangzhou.

But she was unwilling to give in because it was the only thing she could do for her friend.

"Even if the chancellor comes, I won't let him take Fritz away because he's my friend."

Alexandrine gritted her teeth and shouted at Klein. When Klein heard her mention the word "friend", he just felt funny. His uncle would not give up taking Lin Shangzhou away just because of this sentence.

The Kaiser's words deeply moved Lin Shangzhou who was standing behind her. It was also her words that made Lin Shangzhou make a decision in his heart. Alexandrine protected him as a friend, so as her friend, he should not cause her any more trouble.

He reached out and gently pressed Alexandrine's shoulders. This sudden action startled her, and she turned her head to look at Lin Shangzhou in confusion.

"Alexandrine, thank you for protecting me like this. I am very touched, but as your friend, I shouldn't cause you any more trouble."

Lin Shangzhou spoke gently to Alexandrine, then walked in front of her. This sudden change made the German Emperor unable to react immediately, and he stood there blankly.

"Eh?"

Standing in front of the Kaiser, Lin Shangzhou looked at Klein and said, "Don't you want me to follow you? Then I can just follow you. Don't make things difficult for Alexandrine and Cecilia anymore."

Klein almost laughed when he saw Lin Shangzhou take the initiative to stand up and say that he wanted to go with him. He was very surprised and found it very funny. In his eyes, Lin Shangzhou was just a yellow monkey who was moved by the German Emperor.

"Don't...don't...Fritts, I don't want you to leave..."

Alexandrine reacted at this time. She suppressed the urge to cry and grabbed Lin Shangzhou's arm and said to him.

"If you leave, who will tell me those interesting stories, who will be my friend..."

Alexandrine said to Lin Shangzhou in a voice that almost broke into tears. Lin Shangzhou had never expected her to behave like this. He had not expected that he would have such a big influence on Alexandrine.

He didn't know what to do. He wanted to comfort Alexandrine, but he would definitely leave with Klein in the end. He would feel uncomfortable if he didn't comfort her. He didn't want to see a girl crying for him.

Klein looked at Alexandrine impatiently. He didn't understand why the German Emperor regarded Lin Shangzhou so important. Just when he wanted to say something else, Cecilia patted his shoulder. Then he heard Cecilia's voice. The voice was a little soft and only the two of them could hear it.

"If you don't want your uncle to be dismissed this afternoon, you should give in to me."

Klein looked at Cecilia in shock. He couldn't believe that Cecilia would say that. Everything in the Worry-Free Palace was clearly in the hands of his uncle, but she actually...

"I provided Mr. Papen with evidence that my sister was placed under house arrest by the chancellor in disguise. You may not believe it, but before I am put in solitary confinement, I will let Mr. Papen make this matter public in parliament, and I will be the witness."

Cecilia's words echoed in Klein's mind. He looked at Cecilia with a hint of fear in his eyes. He didn't understand how this woman had contacted Papen, his uncle's opponent in the party, without telling him. If what she said was true, then he really should back down.

Of course, he also noticed that Cecilia was talking about giving in rather than asking him to stop, but Klein did not have too many doubts about this. The photo was in his hand. No matter which prime minister or which political party came to power, as long as he handed the photo to the other party, Lin Shangzhou would be punished, and this would not change.

"Since Your Majesty likes him so much, I will give you a favor. I will not take him away, nor will I pursue this matter any further, nor will I tell my uncle about it."

Klein's expression changed, and he said to Alexandrine with a stiff smile.

The change in his attitude stunned everyone present except Cecilia. Why did his attitude become soft?

Alexandrine looked at Klein hesitantly with tears in her eyes, her eyes full of surprise and confusion. Lin Shangzhou felt the same, but he didn't think Klein would let him go so easily.

"But after all this happened, I think he is no longer suitable to be your driver. I need you to fire him. Only then can I feel at ease. As for who will be your driver in the future, I don't care. He must be fired."

Klein said again in a tough tone.

Alexandrine wanted to say something but saw her sister shaking her head at her, signaling her not to say anything more. She understood what Cecilia had done. Although she was reluctant to fire Lin Shangzhou, she still nodded to Klein.

"Then do as you say. I...I will fire Fritz, and you will no longer hold Fritz responsible for this matter."

"Well, very good. Thank you, Your Majesty, for your understanding."

Klein nodded with not-so-satisfied satisfaction.

Alexandrine ignored him and looked up at Lin Shangzhou and said, "I'm sorry, Fritz, I'm going to fire you."

Lin Shangzhou didn't have any major opinions on this. On the contrary, the current result might be the best one. If the confrontation had continued, who knows what would have happened.

(I don’t know what Cecilia said to that bastard, but thanks to her, I was able to save my life)

Thinking of this, Lin Shangzhou cast a grateful look at Cecilia. Cecilia looked at him and forced a smile.

"Okay, Alexandrine, don't be sad. You've done the best you can, haven't you?"

Lin Shangzhou patted the Kaiser's head and spoke softly, then looked at Klein coldly and said, "But there is something I have to do before I am fired."

He came and stood in front of Klein, who looked at him teasingly. He wanted to know what Lin Shangzhou was going to do.

"Master Klein, could you please stand still?"

"Of course, don't move. I'll just stand here and not move."

Klein raised his eyebrows and stood there motionless.

What no one expected was that Lin Shangzhou raised his head high and hit him in the face. Then, ignoring the pain in his forehead, he quickly pressed his shoulder with his right hand and knocked him to the ground with a punch with his left hand.

Looking at Klein lying on the ground in a daze, Lin Shangzhou felt much better. Who knew if he would ever see this annoying guy again in the future? He might as well beat him up while he was still under Cecilia's protection.

But he forgot that Klein was a racist, and after being beaten by the yellow people whom he looked down upon, he was filled with rage.

Cecilia looked at Lin Shangzhou, not knowing what to say. Alexandrine walked to Lin Shangzhou and looked at Klein who had fallen to the ground. She wanted to say something to Klein, but before she could say anything, she heard Klein's voice.

"How dare you, a yellow monkey, hit me?!!! You actually dared to hit me! Even if I have to give up my identity as a soldier, I will make you pay the price!"

Klein quickly stood up and roared, pulling out a pistol from his waist and pointing it at Lin Shangzhou. Cecilia reacted quickly and wanted to step forward to stop him, but she was still a step too late.

"boom!"

Gunshots rang out, and Cecilia pounced on Klein and pinned him down. She turned her head hastily and saw Lin Shangzhou who was pushed to the ground and Alexandrine who was sitting on the ground with her head down and powerless.

"elder sister--"

Cecilia screamed heartbreakingly. She immediately rushed to Alexandrine and held her cheeks with both hands. After seeing that Alexandrine's eyes were lifeless but full of life, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'm glad you're okay...I'm glad you're okay..."

Lin Shangzhou also hurriedly got up from the ground and came to the side of the German Emperor. Elena and three other maids also gathered around. After confirming that Alexandrine was just frightened, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, Clay was sitting on the ground, staring blankly at the people surrounding Alexandrine. He did not expect that the German Emperor would push Lin Shangzhou away, which caused the bullet that was supposed to be aimed at Lin Shangzhou to hit Alexandrine. He was very panicked. If the bullet really caused substantial harm to the German Emperor or even killed him, then he would have to wait to be beaten to death by Cecilia.

"Um...how is His Majesty?"

He hesitated for several seconds before whispering to Cecilia. Cecilia turned her head and glared at him, and he shut up, feeling relieved. There was a look in Cecilia's eyes that wanted to kill him, but she didn't take any action, which meant that the Kaiser was fine.

"How could I possibly shoot her with that height difference? I was overthinking it... hehe..."

Klein was sitting on the ground comforting himself. He noticed someone approaching and looked up to see Cecilia, who was furious. The next second, his face was met with Cecilia's fist.

At the same time, Alexandrine also reacted. She looked blankly at the people surrounding her, then thought about what had just happened. After realizing that she had a brush with death, she threw herself into Lin Shangzhou's arms and burst into tears.

Lin Shangzhou also sat on the ground and hugged Alexandrine, patting her back gently to calm her emotions.
