Chapter 1257: Nothing much, just that two of his tendons were snapped.
In this day and age, when photos are developed and printed, the date is always printed on them. Desley and Susanna were stunned when they saw the date; it was from two months ago.
I rubbed my eyes again. This face clearly looks like my aunt when she was young. How could this be?
Susanna suddenly remembered something, and she grabbed Da Bao's hand and asked.
"Oh my god, you must know where Aymu is, right? Aymu, where is my cousin?"
Da Bao suddenly remembered that under the moon, Zuo Mingyue said with a smile as beautiful as a flower.
“I also have a name called Aymu, which means a woman as beautiful as the moon.”
Now that he was certain, he stood up with a smile.
“Aymu is my wife. She is pregnant and will give birth in two months, so she and my family have gone directly to London. I promised him that I would go to France to find Princess Sofia and confirm whether she is my wife’s mother.”
“Oh my god, it must be her. Look, she looks exactly like my aunt.”
That's great, their relationship has suddenly become much closer.
After lunch, Uncle Qing directed the waiters to remove the plates and replace the tablecloths. A waiter brought coffee, but Da Bao never liked the bitter taste. Uncle Qing then brought out some black tea that had been brewed earlier, and the group leisurely enjoyed afternoon tea and chatted.
From their account, Da Bao learned about Princess Sofia.
In 1939, Princess Sofia, at the age of eighteen, who had always longed to visit the mysterious lands of the East, secretly slipped away with her governess onto a ship and arrived in China.
In Shanghai, China, she met the handsome and dashing Zuo Wenbin by chance. The French are romantic by nature, and they crave love like moths drawn to a flame.
Sophia learned of Zuo Wenbin's identity, but she still gave birth to his child without hesitation and followed him to the base. However, during a mission to protect the headquarters and the hospital, Zuo Wenbin was seriously injured, and Sophia had no choice but to take him back to Shanghai.
Zuo Wenbin's injuries were too severe to be treated domestically, and he needed to undergo surgery abroad. Sofia had no choice but to take Zuo Wenbin across the ocean back to France.
When Zuo Wenbin was seriously injured, the underground party organization contacted him and agreed to let him and Sophia return to France for surgery. However, Zuo Wenbin had to accept an important mission: to infiltrate Europe and provide intelligence for the country.
Of course, this was what Da Bao heard the boss tell him. The boss also revealed a secret to him: during the Korean Peninsula campaign, the intelligence about the Allied forces landing at Incheon was transmitted by Zuo Wenbin. This intelligence directly prompted the new country to participate in the campaign.
Sofia and Zuo Wenbin traveled across the ocean and completely lost contact with their daughter. The relevant departments did not tell Zuo Wenbin about his daughter in order to ensure his safety.
Through Daisy and Susanna's introduction, Da Bao learned that Princess Sofia and her husband George now have a son and a daughter, the son is fifteen years old and the daughter is thirteen years old, and they are not living in France, but in Austria.
Upon learning of Sophia and Zuo Wenbin's whereabouts, Da Bao breathed a sigh of relief. He had achieved his first goal in coming to Europe, and now it was time for him to work towards becoming the world's richest man.
Daisley and Susanna had promised Da Bao that once they arrived in France, they would send a telegram to Princess Sofia informing her of their daughter Aymu's whereabouts. Da Bao then told them about his residence in London.
Upon hearing that Da Bao's villa was in Mayfair, Arthur and Desley had become numb to Da Bao's wealth. Instead, they thought that such a rich and powerful person should live in Mayfair.
As the four people were chatting happily, two very similar-looking foreign men, with their hands in the pockets of their tuxedos, swaggered into the restaurant.
Arthur turned around, pursed his lips, and muttered under his breath, "Shit."
The two foreign men were about the same age as Arthur. Da Bao couldn't tell which country they were from. It's like how Westerners think all Easterners look pretty much the same, but they think the most beautiful women are those with single eyelids.
They whistled at Arthur, Desley, and the other two, then staggered in, the man in front spreading his hands with a disgusting expression.
"Hey, who do we have here? Aren't these the descendants of fishermen? Oh, and the descendants of farmers too. How about it? Losing money last night, having fun? Want us to give you a chance to win it all back? Of course, if you admit defeat, as descendants of royalty, we'll even give you two pennies."
After all, once you disembark, you'll need to take a horse-drawn carriage. It would be so embarrassing if you didn't have any money!
Arthur was furious and jumped up.
"You two pieces of shit, you cheated at cards and won money, and you still have the nerve to brag in front of us. With two scoundrels like you in the Spanish royal family, no wonder they can't hold their heads up in Europe."
Susanna introduced him to Da Bao in a low voice. Now that she knew Da Bao was her cousin's husband, her lecherous expression had long since disappeared, and she became much more affectionate.
"Those two bastards are brothers. The older brother is called Mercdo Garcia, and the younger brother is called Roc Garcia. They are both descendants of the Spanish royal family. Last night, they lured Arthur and Desley into playing cards and won a total of 50,000 pounds from them."
Murdoch's eyes were fixed on Susanna. He hadn't noticed Da Bao at first, but seeing Susanna and Da Bao being so affectionate, he suddenly felt a pang of jealousy. He patted Da Bao's shoulder as he spoke.
"Hehehe, what did I just see? On such a luxurious cruise ship, there's actually an oriental pig... Ouch..."
Before he could even place his hand on Da Bao's shoulder, Da Bao picked up the coffee ladle Arthur used to make coffee and casually tapped it on his hand. Da Bao was angry, and he didn't hold back the force in his hand.
The spoonful of soup, though seemingly applied lightly, actually broke two of Murdoch's tendons. Murdoch screamed in pain and staggered backward, but Locke quickly caught him.
By this time, Murdoch was sweating profusely from the pain. Locke glared at Da Bao and helped Murdoch out to find a doctor.
This move completely stunned Desley and Susanna. They never expected that Da Bao would just tap Murdoch lightly with a spoon, and Murdoch's face would contort as if he had suffered a serious injury.
Arthur knew how formidable Da Bao was, and he said excitedly,
"Hey Charlotte, is this shit okay? He looks like he's in so much pain he can barely stand up."
Da Bao smiled casually and said lightly.
"It's nothing serious, just that I snapped two of his tendons, so he won't be able to lift a wine glass in the future."
