Conquering the world from the Kaiser's driver

"It's really you! Please come in, please come in."

The young man excitedly invited Lin Shangzhou to enter the room on the first floor, and then he turned to the young man named Heping and said, "Heping, go and call everyone down!"

"okay!"

Heping happily ran up the stairs to call other classmates.

After entering the room, the young man introduced himself and took Lin Shangzhou to the sofa.

"My name is Wang Shunyu. Mr. Lin, you can just call me Shunyu. Come, please take a seat."

(Wang Shunyu? This name is interesting)

Lin Shangzhou thought to himself.

"Thank you."

After thanking him, he sat on the sofa. Wang Shunyu looked at Letitia and hesitated for a moment before he responded immediately in German: "Miss, please sit down too."

After thanking him, Letitia sat next to Lin Shangzhou.

Wang Shunyu excitedly took a chair from the side and sat on it. He was excited but also confused as to why this "big shot" who led the workers' strike would come to them. He didn't remember any contact between them.

"It was Wenhua who told me that you lived here, so I came to visit you."

Lin Shangzhou said to him that he guessed the person in front of him must have doubts in his mind, so he said it out loud.

"You know Wenhua..."

Wang Shunyu nodded in sudden realization. He then remembered that the factory mentioned in the newspaper was the factory where Lin Wenhua worked, and the Mr. Lin in front of him was the leader of the strike, so it was not surprising that they knew each other.

Thinking of his classmates, he asked with concern:

"Is Wenhua doing well in the factory? He seldom comes back after he leaves for work. I am a little worried about him."

"Don't worry about that brat, he's doing fine."

"Thank you, I just hope he's okay."

Wang Shunyu's worries disappeared and he felt a little relieved.

At this time, there were intense footsteps outside the door, and a young man named Heping walked in with seven students. After they walked into the room and saw Lin Shangzhou, some of them were so surprised that they couldn't close their mouths, while others patted Heping's back and said, "You really didn't lie."

However, there is one thing that all these people have shown, they all admire Lin Shangzhou very much.

The squad leader saw everyone coming in and stood up and said to them, "Everyone, be quiet. This is Mr. Lin Shangzhou, the Mr. Hipper in the newspaper. He is a co-worker of Wenhua and is visiting us today."

Eight students gathered around Lin Shangzhou and introduced themselves one by one.

The short young man named Heping was named Tang Heping.

What Lin Shangzhou didn't expect was that there was a girl among the seven students who was very timid and spoke in a very low voice.

"That... uh... you don't have to be so respectful to me. I'm only 20 this year, not much older than you. You all call me Mr. Lin, making me sound like an elder in his s, s, or s. I'm not an elder. I'm the same age as you. Just call me Shang Zhou."

Lin Shangzhou told everyone that he was interacting with this group of students as a peer, but these students obviously did not think so.

After he said this, the admiration in the students' eyes increased even more.

Faced with looks that were even more admiring than before, Lin Shangzhou felt that he shouldn't have mentioned his age just now.

"Mr. Lin, please don't think there is anything wrong. We all regard you as a role model for our students. Your deeds are really inspiring and encouraging. We all want to learn from you."

Wang Shunyu said with admiration, and the other students nodded as well.

"Um... okay."

Judging from the looks of these students, Lin Shangzhou guessed that they had no intention of changing their attitude towards him. In that case, just let them be.

The students looked at Lin Shangzhou with admiration and at Letitia with curiosity. Several of them whispered to each other and speculated about the relationship between Letitia and Lin Shangzhou.

Tang Heping was the first to ask out of curiosity, "Mr. Lin, is this lady your friend?"

"Well, she's my friend."

Lin Shangzhou nodded. Although Letitia didn't understand, she could tell that the short student was asking her a question. After Lin Shangzhou's answer, there was no strange expression on the students' faces. She judged that Lin Shangzhou just said that they were just ordinary friends.

Thinking of this, she felt a little lost.

In the subsequent conversation, Lin Shangzhou also learned about the students' current situation. There were a total of 31 students who came to Strasbourg, including 10 students from wealthy families who studied at the school. At the same time, they paid to rent this apartment for the remaining students.

The remaining 21 people had no choice but to find jobs. Of the nine people in the apartment, some had been fired and had not yet found new jobs, while others did not speak German well so chose to stay in the apartment to help everyone clean and cook.

Lin Shangzhou also asked if there was any way he could help. Wang Shunyu and a group of students shook their heads. They thought their lives were okay now and they didn't need his help.

Finally, Lin Shangzhou left them his address and asked them to find him if they needed help.

After getting on the bus, Letitia turned her head and looked at the students waving at them outside and said, "You are all Chinese in a foreign country, but why are your situations so different?"

"Well..."

Lin Shangzhou paused, stepped on the accelerator and said, "I have been in Germany since I was 10 years old. I am already a German. They are ambitious students, but after coming here, they find that they have to take care of their lives before they can talk about their ambitions."

"Come on, let's go home. I'll come visit them again when I have time."

Ten minutes later, Lin Shangzhou brought Letitia back to the apartment. He asked Letitia to get out of the car first as he still had to deliver the car to the deputy editor-in-chief.

After arriving at the newspaper office, he found that the deputy editor-in-chief did not come to work today, so he had no way to return the car. Helplessly, Lin Shangzhou could only drive home again.

When he returned to the apartment, he found that another unfamiliar car had been parked at the spot where he had originally parked his car. He had no choice but to move his car to a parking space across the street, which was a little far from the apartment.

After stabilizing the car and getting out, Lin Shangzhou suddenly felt uneasy. He felt that someone was watching him. He looked around but found nothing.

(Is it an illusion?)

Lin Shangzhou lowered his head and thought, then returned to the apartment.

When he went upstairs, passed the second floor and reached the stairs to the third floor, he heard the sound of a door opening downstairs. Looking down, he saw a man coming downstairs.

(He is the tenant on the second floor. Go visit him when you have time.)

Thinking of this, Lin Shangzhou went upstairs and returned home. He also told Letitia the news that the tenant on the second floor had returned.

On April 4, Lin Shangzhou got up early in the morning and prepared to go to work. He was carrying his messenger bag that he used to go to work, which contained the reports he had written and the words he had typed during his rest days. He wrote two reports in total, one was unrevised and the other was revised by him. Of course, the one he brought to the newspaper office was the one he revised.

Walking out of the apartment, Lin Shangzhou walked slowly on the path on the side of the apartment. After walking through an alley, the feeling of uneasiness in Lin Shangzhou's heart reappeared.

He turned his head and looked around, but still found nothing. He was very surprised. What happened to him from last night until now?

Turning his head to look forward, he was about to take a step when he heard movement behind him. Before he could turn around, he was hit hard on the head with a wooden stick.

With a "bang", he fell to the ground weakly. Lin Shangzhou, who was not completely unconscious, tried to prop up his body to see who attacked him, but before he raised his head, he was hit hard again.

This time he completely lost consciousness and passed out.

Chapter 58: Strange Ceiling and Strangers

When Lin Shangzhou opened his eyes, he saw an unfamiliar white ceiling, followed by a sharp pain in his head. He tried his best to turn his head to the side. He caught a glimpse of Letitia lying on the bed resting, and then he fainted again because of the pain.

He didn't know how long it had been before he slowly opened his eyes again. He still saw the unfamiliar white ceiling and the pain in his head was still there, but this time he didn't faint. He was forced to feel the pain brought to him by the dizzy head.

"Forehead…"

He twisted his body, but found that he had no strength. He struggled to get up with all his might, and then he heard someone talking nearby.

"you're awake?"

As he spoke, he helped Lin Shangzhou sit up. With the help of the strange man, Lin Shangzhou sat up and leaned against the pillow.

After sitting up, he first looked around his room. Lin Shangzhou realized that he was now in the hospital. He wanted to recall what had happened before, but every time he tried to recall what happened before, the pain in his head intensified.

So he looked at the strange man sitting on the chair and asked, "Excuse me, who are you?"

The man had a handsome face, a little beard on his chin, some messy natural curly black hair casually scattered, and beautiful green eyes focused on the movements of his hands. The man wore a silver cross pendant around his neck, indicating that he might be religious.

The first impression he gave Lin Shangzhou was: handsome! The second was that he was suave and charming.

"I?"

The man stopped what he was doing, looked up at Lin Shangzhou and said:

"Aren't you going to ask what happened?"

"I can roughly guess that I was beaten up and then sent to the hospital."

Lin Shangzhou said that he remembered that he had woken up once before, and that time he saw Letitia beside the bed.

"There's more..."

The man chuckled and continued to peel the apple. As he peeled, he said, "You were beaten and struggled to get back to the door of the apartment from the alley. Then you fell headfirst onto Miss Adolf who opened the door. You pushed her to the ground and scared her."

As the man spoke, Lin Shangzhou's memory gradually became clearer, and he gradually recalled what happened after he was knocked unconscious.

He remembered that he struggled to stand up from the ground, holding on to the wall. He went to the outside of the alley and wanted to call for help, but fell to the ground before he could shout. Then he crawled to the door of the apartment, and stood up by holding on to the door. As soon as he stood up, the door was opened by someone. He lost his support and fell headfirst onto the person behind the door.

He had no idea what happened next because he fainted after falling on Letitia.

After the man peeled the apple, he moved to the bedside table and cut the apple into the plate bit by bit.

"Then Miss Adolf, who was crying anxiously, came upstairs to ask me for help. Then I carried you into my car and took you and Miss Adolf to the hospital."

"Thanks…"

Lin Shangzhou thanked him, and then he noticed what the strange man said: Letitia went upstairs to ask him for help.

“Are you the tenant of the second floor?”

"Well, I just came back yesterday, and I didn't expect to encounter such an exciting thing today."

The man nodded. He had also finished cutting the apple, picked up a piece of the apple and put it in his mouth. After tasting it, he picked up a piece of the apple with a fork and handed it to Lin Shangzhou's mouth.

"You've been unconscious for four days. Come and eat something to replenish your energy. Come~ah~"

Lin Shangzhou opened his mouth and ate the apple. The sweet and sour taste on the tip of his tongue made him feel more refreshed. He was also surprised that he had been in a coma for four days. He actually had been in a coma for four days.

"Miss Adolf was very worried after you fell into a coma. She stayed by your side to take care of you for the past three days and didn't get a good rest. This morning, Catherine came and found that she was asleep, so she took her back."

Lin Shangzhou thought of Letitia sleeping on the bed, and couldn't help feeling distressed.

"Although the medical expenses are not expensive, Miss Adolf can't afford that much money, so I paid for you."

As the man spoke, he cut another piece of apple and handed it to Lin Shangzhou's mouth.

"Thank you."

After sincerely thanking him, Lin Shangzhou ate the apple.

"I'll return the money to you when I recover."

He said as he ate.

The strange man smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Oh, no need, that little money is just a drop in the bucket, it's nothing to me."

Lin Shangzhou shook his head firmly.

"No, I'll return the money to you when I recover."

He could tell that the friendly stranger in front of him really didn't need him to pay back the money, but he would feel bad if he didn't.

"Hmm...ok then."

The man shrugged, and then gave Lin Shangzhou another piece of apple.

After eating the apple, Lin Shangzhou looked at the man and asked, "Excuse me, what is your name?"

"I?"

The man helped himself to a piece of apple, put it in his mouth and chewed it while saying, "My name is Louis Bonaparte."

(Napoleon's last name?)

Lin Shangzhou was a little surprised when he heard the man's name.

Then he realized something more important: the man in front of him was called Louis.

He vaguely remembered that the editor-in-chief of the newspaper was also named Louis.

So he looked at the man in front of him hesitantly and asked tentatively: "Louis...Editor-in-Chief?"

Louis raised an eyebrow and nodded.

"Hmm~"
