When the East was developing relatively steadily, the West was in chaos.

The French Kingdom declared war on the Spanish Empire and the Holy Roman Empire, and joined forces with the Netherlands to fight against the Spanish Empire and the Habsburg dynasty headed by the Holy Roman Empire. Both sides were fighting for faith on the surface, but in fact they fought for the interests of their respective countries.

France wanted to replace the Spanish Empire and become the largest continental power, the Netherlands wanted to completely separate from the Spanish Empire, the Holy Roman Empire emperor wanted to restore his authority in the German region, and the Spanish Empire did not want the empire that it built would decline.

The only possibility that you can stay high without your own affairs is Britain, which is hanging alone overseas.

However, the trend of civil strife in Britain is becoming more and more obvious.

There was a conflict between England and Scotland, and there was a contradiction between the king and the parliament. Although the entire kingdom was as peaceful as usual, there was a shadow over the kingdom.

The news of the disappearance of Chinese businessman Li Jinde returned to London, which further exacerbated the turmoil in the situation and forced China into European disputes.

The Levant fleet led by Sir Henry returned to London from the Mediterranean, and Li Jinde was still missing among the returning personnel.

The Chinese businessmen who arrived in London with Li Jinde angrily surrounded the people of Lifante's company.

"Sir Henry, Shopkeeper Lee and your fleet head to the sea called the Mediterranean. Why did he disappear for no reason?!"

"Everyone, I don't know the inside story about Mr. Li's disappearance for no reason. Our employees in Halep are still asking about him. Once we find Mr. Li or find out any news about him, we will notify you as soon as possible..."

Sir Henry, the governor of the Levant Company, was surrounded by Chinese merchants and had indescribable difficulties. Li Jinde suddenly disappeared, and he could not find any trace.

If Li Jinde disappeared in London, he could still inquire with his own connections, and might even alarm Charles I. Li Jinde disappeared within the territory of the Ottoman Empire. Sir Henry found local officials to look for Li Jinde, but it was useless. Sir Henry even doubted whether the other party had seriously helped him find someone.

Logically speaking, a living person will definitely leave many traces before disappearing. It is impossible that the local bureaucrats cannot find any traces of Li Jinde.

"Shopkeeper Li follows you to the Mediterranean. Our two countries are the countries of the covenant, so the merchants of the two countries have the responsibility to take care of each other. Why don't you take good care of Storekeeper Li in the Mediterranean?"

"What happened to your trip? We need a detailed explanation, otherwise we will not be able to explain to our government!"

The angry Chinese businessmen and employees of Western trading companies still surrounded Sir Henry and others.

Li Jinde is their head in London and the agent selected by Chu Yun. If something happened to Li Jinde, they really don’t know how to report to Chu Yun. Moreover, this is a huge blow to Chinese businessmen. Their safety in the West will not be guaranteed.

"Before I set off, I reminded Mr. Li that this trip was dangerous. The Ottoman Empire's attitude towards your country was hard to understand. It was because he insisted on going. It was hard to blame me for this matter." Sir Henry said, "But I will try to report to His Majesty the King and ask His Majesty the King to order the ambassador to negotiate with the Ottoman Empire and try his best to find Mr. Li."

A group of Chinese businessmen and Western company employees could not tell the reason when they saw Sir Henry, and they all saw helplessness in each other's eyes in anxiety.

This is the Western Paradise. The Jiuzhou Army has limited influence on this side. The Ottoman Empire has a population of 30 million. It is not difficult to find Li Jinde alone from the 30 million people.

Moreover, Li Jinde may not be in the Ottoman Empire, and there are many countries around the Mediterranean.

"We must see people alive and corpses when we die. We must not let our people disappear inexplicably in the West. This is our principle!" A group of Li Jinde's companions emphasized to Sir Henry.

Sir Henry wiped the sweat from his forehead: "I get it, I will try my best to find a way..."

Sir Henry did not rely much on it at this time. The Ottoman Empire looked down on the Kingdom of Britain at this time and believed that the Kingdom of Britain was a second-rate country. How could it be possible to let the Ottoman Empire take action because of finding someone?

King Charles I of England could not do it.

"All the elders are all the companions of Manager Li. Please be sure to save them..." Xiaolian, who was brought back by Sir Henry, did not expect to see many compatriots in the city of London in a foreign country, but she did not care about being excited, but anxiously asked everyone who appeared in the city of London to save Li Jinde.

"This is..." When the Chinese businessman and the hired worker saw the Han woman wearing Ottoman silk, they couldn't help but look at Sir Henry with inquiring eyes.

"Mr. Li bought a slave in the Ottoman Empire. It seemed like you were from the East. It was also a few days after this that Mr. Li suddenly disappeared. After Mr. Li disappeared, the convenience I could help was to bring her back here safely. Since you are a fellow countryman, she will be handed over to you. I will go and ask for your Majesty the King." Sir Henry said.

As the governor of the Levant Company, which monopolized the privilege of Britain's trade to the Mediterranean, Sir Henry was by no means an ordinary person. His father was once Mayor and Member of the Council of London, and he could easily meet Charles I.

"What were you doing when Manager Li disappeared?" The Chinese businessman and the hired worker had to put their hope on this woman named Xiaolian.

"After I was rescued, I planned to act as a maid for Manager Li, but Manager Li was very kind to me and did not let me do these girls' affairs. I also rented another room in the hostel with me... Now I think about it, if I stayed in the same room as Manager Li, even if I slept on the floor, I could know what happened that night..." Xiaolian sobbed and blamed herself for not taking good care of Li Jinde that night.

"This is the arrangement of Manager Li himself, no wonder you. Could it be that this is fate?" The Chinese businessmen in London looked at each other, and this matter was difficult.

"Do we want to contact the Fourth Fleet at Portsmouth Harbor first and let them come to London City to discuss how to deal with this matter?"

"No, at this time, I sent a messenger to Portsmouth Port to notify the Fourth Fleet. The people of the Fourth Fleet came here again, and it took twice the time to go back and forth. It would be better for us to leave some people watching the property of London City, and the rest to Portsmouth, and discuss the matter in Portsmouth."

"It is better to discuss this matter in the city of London, and we can also ask the King of Britain to provide us with assistance."
