King of Beiyang

The carriage suddenly braked, and Li Jingyuan, Li Yuanhong, and the others inside were thrown about, feeling dizzy and disoriented.

"What's going on?" Li Jingyuan asked loudly.

This was also a way of sending a message to the security personnel outside the train carriage that he was not injured.

"Sir, we've been attacked. The first carriage has been hit by a bomb," the security guard outside the carriage replied.

At this moment, these well-trained security personnel have already taken action.

Some people spread out to strengthen the vigilance around the area, while others chased after the attackers, and still others rescued the people inside the first carriage.

Upon hearing this news, Li Jingyuan's expression immediately turned grim.

He knew perfectly well that this attack was clearly aimed at him. And, most likely, it was the Japanese who carried it out.

However, he was lucky and didn't ride in the first carriage.

But the first carriage was also filled with elites from the Beiyang Naval Academy!

If anything were to happen to them, it would be a huge blow to the Beiyang Fleet.

"We must return to the academy immediately and do everything we can to treat my injured classmates!" Li Jingyuan immediately gave the order.

Staying here would not only be pointless, but would also increase the risks.

Li Jingyuan dared not get out of the car, nor did he dare to gamble that the Japanese had only arranged one assassin.

If he is assassinated or killed, then this time it will truly be a case of dying before even getting started.

"Yes, sir!" the security guard outside replied.

  

The carriage then turned around and quickly returned to the Naval Academy.

This greatly disappointed the other Japanese intelligence agents who were lying in wait.

Fukushima Yasumasa went to great lengths to kill Li Jingyuan, gathering numerous intelligence agents who had infiltrated the German Empire.

If the bomb attack fails to kill Li Jingyuan, there are other gunmen on standby.

Once Li Jingyuan gets off the carriage, he will surely be shot in the head.

Unfortunately, Li Jingyuan was too cautious and didn't give them any chance.

The streets were already in complete chaos.

Police officers have arrived and cordoned off the scene.

The injured were immediately sent to the hospital.

The security personnel at Dongfang Pharmaceutical Company were quite effective.

Although the assassin threw away the bomb and tried to escape, he was still caught by the security personnel.

After the police took over, the security personnel handed the killer over to them. They were also informed of the victim's identity.

This put the police officers in Kiel on high alert. They were well aware of Li Jingyuan's relationship with the royal family.

The head of the Kiel Port Police Department ordered the killer to be kept under close surveillance. At the same time, he immediately reported the incident to his superiors.

Soon, news of Li Jingyuan's assassination attempt spread throughout the upper echelons of the German Empire.

Kim Kai-ri and Carl rushed to the Kiel Naval Academy to check on the situation.

Prince Heinrich, who was originally serving in the fleet, also rushed to the Naval Academy.

"God, my friend, it's so good that you're alright!" Carl exclaimed as soon as he saw Li Jingyuan.

"My friend, I was lucky. However, if they had thrown a bomb at the carriage I was riding in, I would probably have been seriously injured even if I hadn't been killed."

Several of my other classmates have also been injured.

Li Jingyuan's face turned ashen.

Although he survived this ordeal.

But no one wants to experience that brush with death again.

"My friend, those guys are damned! Trust us, we will never let them get away with this!" Karl said angrily.

Li Jingyuan nodded. Having suffered such a great loss this time, he certainly wouldn't let it go.

"Third Young Master, I just came from the hospital. The injuries of the students are not serious, and they are expected to be discharged within one to two weeks."

Furthermore, our security personnel have apprehended the killer. Police sources indicate he is of mixed race, with Japanese ancestry.

Kim Kai-ri reported.

"Hmph! I knew it! It must have been the Japanese! They wanted to buy our patent license, but they thought our price was too high, so they decided to kill me."

I never expected that even after I've been in the academy for half a year, they still haven't given up!

After confirming the assassin's identity, Li Jingyuan was even more furious.

"The Japanese are simply too despicable; we absolutely cannot let them off easily. They want to buy patent licenses, right? Well, we'll just refuse to sell them to them."

From now on, if Japanese people want to buy our new drugs, they will only be able to smuggle them from other countries at high prices.

Carl said viciously.

Li Jingyuan nodded. Since the Japanese wanted to kill him and were going to take action, then Oriental Pharmaceutical Company naturally wouldn't sell them patent licenses.

"No, I still can't swallow this insult. I swear I won't rest until I avenge this! If they want to kill me, then they'll have to leave their lives in Europe!" Li Jingyuan said, his face filled with murderous intent.

Li Jingyuan was never the kind of person who repaid evil with good.

The Japanese devils wanted to kill him. Therefore, he would inevitably retaliate.

Carl and Kim Kai-li both frowned.

Although they could understand Li Jingyuan's anger and supported him.

However, they are also well aware that achieving this goal will be quite difficult.

"That assassin should be sentenced to death. But the minister and military officer behind the assassin are diplomatic personnel with diplomatic immunity. Even the German government cannot directly arrest them," Kim Kai-ri said.

"Yes, my friend. At most, we'll just deport them," Karl chimed in.

"Deportation is enough. Once they leave the German Empire, killing them will be very easy, won't it? I'll offer 500,000 marks. As long as the Japanese minister and military officer are killed, the 500,000 marks are theirs."

I'm sure there are plenty of people in the German Empire willing to take on this order.

Li Jingyuan is rich now; he can use money to crush these Japanese devils.

500,000 marks was no small sum in those days.

It's important to understand that in the German Empire at that time, a skilled worker's annual income was only one thousand marks.

Five hundred thousand marks, that's equivalent to five hundred years of income.

Some of the underground forces in the German Empire would probably fight tooth and nail for this order.

"Third Young Master, as long as we don't kill them within the German Empire, there won't be any problems. Also, it's best not to leave any evidence that could be traced back to us. After all, we are a legitimate company," Jin Kaili reminded him.

Li Jingyuan nodded; he understood this as well.

But no matter what, now that he's been assassinated, he has to get revenge!

"My friend, leave this to me," Karl volunteered.

Li Jingyuan expressed his gratitude.

The Hollen family wielded considerable influence in the German Empire, and even underground forces had to give them face.
