Chapter 1749: About to be Exposed

~9 min read 1,704 words

"I don't care. If we can't see Gelin, that thing we did before is problematic. If my old man finds out about this—"

"I'm dead!"

Ausilige said in fear.

From his attitude today, Ausilige could tell that Richard's attitude toward Gelin, if not exactly amiable, could certainly be described as bone-deep hatred.

Ausilige urgently wanted to know what relationship the person he helped, who was called Gelin, had with this Gelin.

Wan Shang saw through Ausilige's thoughts at a glance.

But he hadn't expected that after so much time had passed, Ausilige would still remember Gelin.

Wan Shang sighed and said, "We don't know where this Gelin is either; he was the one who came to commission us in the first place."

"As for your worry about whether Richard will blame you for this matter, I think you have absolutely no need to worry. That matter from back then has already passed a long time ago."

"The records are all gone, so who knows what it was all about?"

"Besides, do you really think a Gelin who needs to ask us for help just to get into prison would be the one you're thinking of?"

Ausilige thought about it for a moment and also felt it was unlikely.

If this Gelin were truly the general who defeated the French troops, how could such a general come to a French prison at a time like this to fish someone out?

That kind of thing should be the work of spies.

After thinking of this, Ausilige felt slightly more at ease.

"What you say also makes some sense."

"Remember, you absolutely cannot tell a fifth person besides the four of us about this!"

"I won't let anyone get a handle on me!"

Wan Shang nodded, signaling that he understood.

Ausilige glanced at him and turned to leave: "I have other matters to attend to, so I won't stay any longer."

After watching Ausilige leave, Wan Shang's expression darkened.

He had almost let the secret slip just now; it was fortunate he had managed to muddle through.

It was only because that fellow Ausilige had his brains in his backside; otherwise, if it had been anyone else, they would have sensed that there was an unspeakable secret here.

Wan Shang sat down, and just as he let out a sigh of relief, he suddenly stood up abruptly.

Fang Dalong also knew about this matter, and he didn't know the story Wan Shang had told Ausilige.

Seeing him leave in such a hurry just now, could it be that he went to find Fang Dalong to cross-check their stories?

No, he had to tell Fang Dalong about this matter before Ausilige did.

Although Ausilige's head wasn't in the right place, one had to be prepared for any eventuality.

After thinking of this, Wan Shang rushed out the door.

And just at this moment, a group of uninvited guests arrived at the Small Tavern.

Seeing who had come, Wan Shang immediately frowned deeply.

"Wan Shang, Mr. Richard wants you to go over; he has an important matter to discuss."

Hearing this, Wan Shang's expression darkened. It had to happen at this time; if Ausilige got to the hospital and found Fang Dalong before him—

If the stories the two of them told didn't match, then they would definitely be exposed.

Wan Shang agreed on the surface, but inside he was burning with anxiety!

"Wait a moment, let me tidy up, and I will go immediately."

But the butler brought by Richard did not leave; instead, he looked at Wan Shang and said, "It's fine, I can wait a moment. Mr. Richard is more anxious this time than ever before; I hope you can be quick."

Wan Shang was stunned, his heart skipped a beat, and he forced a smile onto his stiff face: "Wait a moment!"

This is bad; now he had to go no matter what.

But if Ausilige noticed something unusual about the Gelin matter, the consequences would also be dire.

During the Indian revolution, many reliable people from the Small Tavern had been taken away.

Wan Shang could not rest easy letting outsiders deliver such news.

Every extra person who knew was an extra layer of danger.

Wan Shang quickly wrote a secret letter and handed it to his most trusted butler, saying: "Deliver this letter to Fang Dalong as quickly as possible. Remember, absolutely do not let anyone else know the contents of the letter."

The butler took the letter; he had never seen his master show such a serious expression.

"Go out the back door and hurry."

The butler immediately went out the back door. Wan Shang's mind was in a state of chaos; he hoped he could make it in time.

At this time, on the other side of America.

Longyan Third City.

The current Longyan City had already been occupied by the Spanish.

It was rumored everywhere outside that this declining Empire on which the sun never sets was now like a rising new star, very likely to compete with France and Britain.

But only they, the Spanish and the Longyan, knew what the real situation was.

Longyan Third City was in a state of being developed, yet not fully developed.

Looking at the unfinished projects in Longyan Third City, there was nothing but desolation; apart from the Indians who were hiding, there was nothing else.

The Longyan had left nothing behind.

Ever since they captured this city, these Spanish had been looking grim.

But ever since they learned a piece of news, their already grim faces had now turned a leaden blue.

"Leader, the Longyan general Qin Zhangfeng is personally leading one thousand Longyan troops to attack."

"Shall we engage them in battle?"

Upon hearing this, the Spanish leader was furious: "What? The Longyan Army only sent one thousand men to attack?"

"Yes!"

"Engage them! We must let these Longyan troops know our strength; we shall also dispatch one thousand Spanish Cavalry!"

The leader panted heavily, enraged to the point of being unable to contain himself; he felt the arrogance and contempt of Longyan, for no matter what, their Spain was once the Empire on which the sun never sets of the world, even if it had now declined.

But a lean camel is still bigger than a horse; they still possessed some foundation.

They had long anticipated that Longyan would send troops to attack.

They had also made preparations for battle, but they never expected that Longyan would only send a force of one thousand men this time.

To them, this was simply an insult.

Upon receiving the order, the Spanish Cavalry immediately marched out to strike directly at the invading Longyan Army.

Meanwhile, the Longyan Army led by Qin Zhangfeng was on the opposite bank of the river, not continuing to advance.

They were waiting for the Spanish Cavalry.

The force they led this time was only one thousand men, yet they made such a grand display and did not conduct a surprise attack, all to lure the Spanish into taking the bait.

Soon, the Spanish Cavalry coming to engage appeared on the opposite side of the river.

The Cavalry General leading this unit, upon seeing the Longyan Army stopped on the opposite bank without crossing to attack, also halted; they were also worried about the existence of an ambush.

After looking at them, Qin Zhangfeng gave a cold laugh and shouted directly: "Spanish troops on the opposite side, you petty scoundrels, taking advantage of our lack of preparation to launch a sneak attack."

"Our city didn't even have a garrison, let alone any other supplies; you took the city so easily, yet you still have the face to say that you defeated our Longyan Army."

"Now our Longyan Army is right on the opposite bank of the river; this river isn't even ten meters wide, it counts as a small stream at most."

"Why have you stopped? Could it be that you fear us?"

After an endless coma, Shi Yu sat up abruptly from the bed. Please,

He breathed in the fresh air in large gulps, his chest heaving.

Confusion, bewilderment—all sorts of emotions surged into his heart.

Where is this?

Subsequently, Shi Yu subconsciously observed his surroundings, and then he became even more bewildered.

A single dormitory?

Even if he had been successfully rescued, he should be in a hospital ward right now.

And his own body... how could there not be a single injury?

Filled with doubt, Shi Yu's gaze swept quickly across the room, finally resting on a mirror at the head of the bed.

The mirror reflected his current appearance: about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a very handsome face.

But the problem is, this is not him!, read the latest chapter content ad-free for free

His previous self was a handsome young man in his twenties with an extraordinary bearing, who had been working for some time.

But now, this appearance looks like a high school student no matter how one looks at it...

This change left Shi Yu stunned for a long time.

Don't tell him that the surgery was a success...

His body and face have both changed; this is no longer a matter of surgery or not, but rather immortal arts.

He had actually completely turned into another person!

Could it be... that he has transmigrated?

Besides the mirror placed in a position with obviously bad feng shui at the head of the bed, Shi Yu also discovered three books nearby.

Shi Yu picked them up to look, and the titles instantly made him fall silent.

"Essential Beast-Rearing Manual for Novice Breeders"

"Postpartum Care for Pet Beasts"

"Appraisal Guide for Exotic Beast-Eared Girls"

Shi Yu:???

The titles of the first two books are still normal, but what is going on with the last one?

"Cough."

Shi Yu's expression turned stern, and he reached out his hand, but his arm stiffened quickly.

Just as he wanted to open the third book to see what on earth this thing was, his brain suddenly felt a sharp pain, and a massive amount of memories surged forth like a tide.
