Louis asked in surprise.

Just when Lin Shangzhou was about to answer Louis, Tang Heping came over and opened the door. Now he was no longer surprised by Lin Shangzhou's arrival. He knew why Lin Shangzhou came. Although he was a little confused about Louis who was traveling with him, he still invited the two of them into the apartment and took them upstairs as if he was familiar with the place.

However, when Tang Heping reached the second floor, he was called away by Wang Shunyu. It didn’t matter since he was on the top floor anyway.

The two came to the door of the attic room, and Lin Shangzhou explained his previous problem to Louis.

"Because they were deceived by unscrupulous businessmen to come to Germany, the tuition fees are too expensive for many of them. Survival is a problem. Who would want to go to school? So many students choose to find a job. Those who are rich rent this apartment for their classmates and go to school."

"But now their lives are much better than before, and those who are looking for work have stable jobs."

Louis reached out and patted Lin Shangzhou on the back and said with a grin, "It probably has something to do with you, right?"

“I didn’t go there on purpose… Well, it does have something to do with me.

Lin Shangzhou was about to deny it, but immediately changed his words. The improvement in their circumstances must have been indirectly related to him.

Walking up and knocking on the door, Lin Shangzhou waited quietly for Havot to open the door. After a while, the door was opened, and standing behind the door was Havot, who had heavy dark circles under his eyes but looked very energetic.

"Ah...Mr. Fritz, you are here. Please come in. Please come in."

Seeing that it was Lin Shangzhou who arrived, Harworth hurriedly opened the door and invited the two into the house.

Despite the research, Harvot's room remained relatively clean, which Lin Shangzhou appreciated.

Louis looked around Harvot's room curiously, then walked to a table and looked at the disassembled ether communicator on it.

After receiving funding from Lin Shangzhou, Harworth bought a new table so that he could conduct research better.

Harvotte walked up to Lin Shangzhou and asked in a low voice: "Mr. Fritz, who is this gentleman?"

"He's my friend, his name is Louis, you can just call him Louis."

"Oh well."

Harvotte nodded and walked over to Louis.

Louis looked at the ether communicator on the table curiously. He stretched out his hand and wanted to touch it a few times. Seeing him so hurriedly, Harvot stopped him and said, "Mr. Louis, don't touch it!"

Louis was startled by him and quickly pulled his hand back, but he was not angry. After all, this was someone else's research. What if he touched the research and ruined it?

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have touched that."

"It's okay, you don't have to apologize."

Harvot breathed a sigh of relief. What he feared most was that others would touch his equipment.

Louis looked at the disassembled device on the table and asked, "Is this the Ether Communicator?"

"Ah."

Harvotte nodded and began to introduce his equipment to Louis.

After the introduction, Louis had a clearer understanding of the ether communicator. He also proposed the idea of ​​investing to Havot, but Havot refused, which surprised him.

How could this person refuse his investment?

Lin Shangzhou originally wanted Louis to try the ether communicator, but unfortunately they came at the wrong time. Harvot had just disassembled the communicator and was ready to continue his research. It would take some time to reassemble it. In order not to let the girl at home go hungry, Lin Shangzhou had to give up this idea.

After chatting with Harvot for a few more minutes, the two left the apartment where the international students lived.

Back in the car, Louis asked doubtfully: “Fritts, does his rejection of my investment have anything to do with you?”

"uh-huh."

Lin Shangzhou nodded, and then said: "Isn't Cecilia the deputy captain of the Storm Commando? I plan to let her use the ether communicator, and then see if I can let her take out the old equipment of the magic force for Havot to study, so that the research can be faster and better.

"Um... this seems to work..."

Louis was surprised at first, but he immediately realized that there shouldn't be any problem for the vice-captain to take a set of old equipment, right?

The two then returned to the apartment. Before going upstairs, Louis told Lin Shangzhou again what he had confessed and advised him to confess as soon as possible.

Lin Shangzhou still said he would think about it. He went upstairs to the third floor. He stood in front of the door and took out the key to open the door. When he was about to insert the key into the keyhole, he hesitated.

.

Chapter 106 Keep your distance

Lin Shangzhou held the key between his thumb and index finger and was reluctant to turn it to the side to unlock the door. He was very nervous and hesitant, as he was going to tell Letitia about his story after opening the door.

This was not a difficult thing, nor was it a big deal. He just needed to tell Leticia what really happened to him in the past and what he was going to do in the future.

He could also completely ignore Noah and Cecilia and not tell Letitia about their affairs. The girl would never be able to guess anyway.

But do I really want to do this?

Louis' advice to him was to confess everything to Letitia now, otherwise it would be troublesome when Letitia met Noah and Cecilia in the future.

Thinking of what Louis said, Lin Shangzhou couldn't help but imagine the Shura field at that time...

Noah and Letitia... he felt troubled just thinking about it.

"If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight..."

With a heavy sigh, Lin Shangzhou turned the key and opened the door. For his own future, he finally decided to explain everything to Letitia.

In this regard, it is better to speak out than to keep it secret. If she finds out that I am hiding something from her, Letitia's impression of me will be greatly reduced.

Letitia, who was sitting on the sofa, heard the sound of the door opening and looked over here. When she saw Lin Shangzhou, she said, "Fritts, hurry up and cook. I'm hungry."

"Ah."

Lin Shangzhou nodded while changing his shoes. After putting on his slippers, he went to the sofa and sat down. Letitia thought he was going to take a rest first and didn't pay much attention to him and continued to read the novel in her hand.

After hesitating for more than ten seconds, Lin Shangzhou gritted his teeth and said to Letitia: "Letitia, before I left, didn't I say I would come back and tell you why I was going back to Berlin? I'll tell you now."

"Ah."

Letitia nodded slightly, then looked up at Lin Shangzhou.

"Um... Do you remember why I came to Strasbourg?"

"Yeah, of course I remember. I remember you said you were a driver in Berlin before, and you got into trouble and came to Strasbourg to avoid it on the advice of a friend."

Letitia nodded and said, then she thought of Lin Shangzhou's current identity, and then continued: "But with your current identity and connections, there should be nothing to be afraid of, right?"

Lin Shangzhou shook his head slightly, which made Letitia look a little surprised. He was a government official and a member of a political party, and he also knew someone like Louis. How could he not be able to deal with his enemies?

unless…

An idea popped up in Letitia's mind - his enemy's identity and status were higher.

Taking a deep breath, Lin Shangzhou said to Letitia: "I used to be a driver in Berlin, but I was the driver of His Majesty the Emperor."

"Ok?"

Letitia was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Lin Shangzhou suspiciously, her blue pupils full of disbelief and confusion.

"Fritz...you said you were the emperor's driver in Berlin?"

She asked with a surprised expression. It was obvious that Letitia did not believe what Lin Shangzhou said. It was so unbelievable that the first thought that popped into her mind was - is this guy kidding me?

"You're not kidding me, are you?"

"No."

Lin Shangzhou shook his head firmly.

"Eh?"

Letitia was stunned. Lin Shangzhou's firm attitude seemed to indicate that what he said was true, but Letitia still didn't quite believe him.

"If you don't believe me, you can ask Louis. He knows that I used to be the emperor's driver. Besides, didn't he and I go to Berlin before? That time I went to Berlin to take care of some things, and I took him to see the emperor."

Lin Shangzhou continued to speak to Letitia.

After he finished speaking, Letitia came back to her senses and looked at Lin Shangzhou in shock. Since he said so, Letitia thought that what he said was probably true, and Lin Shangzhou was not joking with her, because there was no need for Louis to joke with him.

"Don't talk yet, let me slow down."

Letitia hurriedly told Lin Shangzhou that she needed time to digest the extremely shocking news she had heard.

Lin Shangzhou closed his mouth and waited for Letitia to calm down.

A minute later, Letitia looked up at him with a strange expression and said, "So you used to be the emperor's driver?"

"Um,"

Lin Shangzhou nodded.

After getting the confirmation, Letitia asked in confusion: "Then how did you get into trouble? You are the emperor's driver? And you were forced to come to Strasbourg. Is there really anyone in Germany who is so capable of driving away the emperor's driver?"

Lin Shangzhou sighed lightly. It was normal for Leticia to think so since she didn't understand what was going on in Wuyou Palace.

"Letitia, do you know who the current emperor of Germany is?"

"Hmm..."

After hearing this question, Letitia fell into deep thought. Seeing her deep in thought, Lin Shangzhou thought something was wrong.

(Although Strasbourg is a remote area, it shouldn’t be necessary to think twice before mentioning the emperor, right? Alexandrine has really never appeared in public...)

He thought to himself that this was a very bad thing. In addition to being a ruler, the emperor was also a symbol of a country. If the people of this country had to think for a while before they could remember who the emperor was, then the emperor was a failure and the people would not widely support the emperor.

It is a very fatal thing for a monarch to not have the support of the people. It is okay in peacetime, but it will cause fatal problems in times of war or other crises.

Take the turbulent period following Black Monday, for example.

(After becoming the prime minister, I need to increase people’s support for Alexandrine…)

Lin Shangzhou thought to himself.

"Um... I only remember that Her Majesty the Emperor is a girl, but I don't know her specific name."

Letitia said to him.

"Sigh~"

Hearing this answer, Lin Shangzhou took a breath of cold air. If Letitia behaved like this, it meant that other people might behave like this too.

He took a deep breath to calm himself. Now was not the time to think about bad things. If he failed to be elected as prime minister, he would have to pack up and leave anyway. He could then go to France to find Mr. Wang and return to China for the second Northern Expedition, or stay in France to help France fight World War II. What could be worse than helping France?

"Your Majesty's name is Alexandrine, and she is 15 years old..."

When talking about age, Lin Shangzhou suddenly remembered that he left Berlin in February. Now more than half a year has passed. Alexandrine might have passed her 2th birthday. So he changed the topic and said, "Maybe she is 16 years old."

"Majesty Alexandrine is a girl who is shorter than you. She has a younger sister named Cecilia. She was 13 when I left Berlin, and she may be 14 now. Although Cecilia is the younger sister, she has received 'divine revelation' so she is more mature than her sister both mentally and physically."

Letitia nodded slowly. Now she knew more about the German emperor. Then she suddenly wondered how Lin Shangzhou knew these two so well?

She frowned slightly and asked unhappily, "How do you know so much about the Emperor and his sister?"

Lin Shangzhou chuckled and said, "I am His Majesty's driver. I was in contact with His Majesty almost every day before I left Berlin. Isn't it normal for me to know about her affairs?"

"Well...that's right..."

Letitia's brows relaxed. It was indeed true. It would be strange for Lin Shangzhou, the emperor's driver, not to know the emperor's affairs.

"So what then? Since you are the emperor's driver, who did you offend?"

"I had some problems with the Prime Minister's nephew."

Letitia's heart was shocked again by his words. How could he have a conflict with the prime minister's nephew?

"The Prime Minister's nephew?!"

Lin Shangzhou said to the shocked Letitia: "When I finish telling you the story, you won't have so many questions, so just listen to me first."

Letitia took a deep breath to calm herself down, then nodded.

After clearing his throat, Lin Shangzhou began to tell Letitia about his past experiences. He told Letitia all the important things that happened during the period from when he became the German Emperor's driver to when he was forced to come to Strasbourg.

Of course he consciously skipped the part about Noya moving in to his house and taking care of him.

After telling Letitia everything, Lin Shangzhou waited quietly for Letitia's response. Letitia leaned on the sofa and thought about what Lin Shangzhou said. He also briefly talked about the relationship between the Chancellor and the German Emperor, otherwise Letitia would not be able to understand why she was forced to leave Berlin.

She now believed in Lin Shangzhou, but still found his experience outrageous. After Lin Shangzhou's explanation, she understood a little that the emperor would be controlled by the prime minister, and did not think too much about it.

But if you ask what Letitia cares about most, it must be Noah's affairs.

She felt unhappy when she thought of the maid named Noya mentioned by Lin Shangzhou. Lin Shangzhou appeared and saved the maid when she was most desperate. Letitia had reason to believe that the maid had a good impression of Lin Shangzhou, and her intuition told her that Lin Shangzhou had not told her something.
