Chapter 51: I'm finally back

Although he had suffered a lot, Jing Yu had not fallen asleep in this strange place. A little girl sitting in a wheelchair and a man lived in such a house always made him feel strange.

However, the matter here has nothing to do with him. Who has no secrets in this world? Jing Yu thought about it, and then recalled his experience this day. He didn't know if Ralph Stanford would blame his daughter after he found out that he ran away. That Carol Stanford seemed to be kind enough to leave.

He angrily thought about how to revenge Ralph Stamford, maybe he could let his daughter go. But soon he became worried again. His biggest reliance was the electronic products he brought from his world. He probably had been cheated by the damn Henry. Although the devices had passwords, the settings were not complicated. What if they were cracked?

And in the future, he will rely on the knowledge in his mind. He does not have much confidence that he can do as well as the protagonists in time travel novels based on his memory and knowledge in future generations. Thinking of this, he comforted himself that at least his starting point is much better than most time travelers, at least he still writes articles and accumulates them in magazines waiting for publication. In addition, he also has a typewriter's patent and licensing fee income. It is probably not a problem to maintain his life in the future.

Moreover, as he gradually abandoned the things he brought with him by his thoughts, he felt that there seemed to be many things he could do. For example, Jing Yu had never seen a bicycle outside, and he had never seen an original bicycle with a large front wheel and a small rear wheel. Maybe he could "invent" a bicycle and build a bicycle factory. Although he did not have the ability to do it, isn't it easy to find a mechanical engineer in this world? At that time, maybe he could rely on foresight and continue to "invent" some other products.

Just as Jing Yu was thinking and thinking, probably in the second half of the night, Jing Yu finally fell asleep after thinking about the future that was not dark and still had bright prospects.

I don't know how long I slept, but Jing Yu was awakened by a knock on the door. He instinctively thought that he was still sleeping at home, and was somewhat angry because of being disturbed. However, he immediately realized that he was not at his home, so he immediately got up and looked around vigilantly.

He opened the door with a little caution when he remembered the causes and consequences. It seemed that it was already dark and he probably didn't sleep for long.

The tall and thin man was outside, "Sir", still dressed in black, and said in a cold voice: "I have already called a carriage for you, you can wait while having breakfast."

"Thank you very much," Jing Yu hurriedly thanked him, then quickly sorted it out and immediately followed the other party to the restaurant outside. Only then did he realize that this house was not the only one with this man and the little girl he had seen last night. There were two maids in their twenties standing by the dining table.

After the other party signaled him to take his seat, Jing Yu was already hungry and was not polite. He sat down and started eating in big mouthfuls. He fried eggs and bread with ham slices and butter. He stopped until his stomach was filled with food and felt full of food. He thanked the other party again for the reception.

The two maids came up to clean up without saying a word. Jing Yu was taken outside by the man, and a two-wheeled carriage was waiting outside.

After another gratitude, Jing Yu got on the carriage, and the coachman seemed to know that the other party wanted Jing Yu to leave immediately. After hearing the address reported by Jing Yu, he immediately drove his horse.

Perhaps because it was early, there were not many people and carriages along the way, so they went back very quickly and kept galloping. It was not until Jing Yu saw his residence that he finally felt completely relieved.

After getting off the carriage, he planned to tell the coachman that he would have someone pay him a moment later, but the other party waved the whip and left without waiting for him to speak, which made Jing Yu not have time to react.

Jing Yu had no choice but to give up the plan to give money to the coachman. After he knocked on the door, Butler Andrew was the first to appear in front of him. When he found out that it was Jing Yu, his originally rigid face was filled with surprise.

"Andrew, I'm back." Seeing him, Jing Yu felt that his spirit was finally no longer tense, and said tiredly.

"Sir, are back~", Andrew shouted.

Someone rushed over inside immediately, and Jing Yu found that he was the first person he met in London, and now the inspector Trede Gleason.

He immediately asked curiously: "Mr. Gleason, why are you here?"

"That's great, Mr. Jing, we're still thinking about how to find you," Gleason said without answering his question, but said in surprise.

At this time, Jing Yu probably guessed it. Accompanied by the remaining servants, butlers Andrew and Gleason, Jing Yu finally felt safe again in his residence.

"Henry took all my things away?" Jing Yu suddenly remembered something more important and asked hurriedly.

When Gleason saw Jing Yu had something to tell the housekeeper, he immediately went to the other side of the living room to appreciate the interior of the house.

"No, sir," the housekeeper Andrew immediately answered when he heard Jing Yu's inquiry, "Your things are still in the room, and no one has touched them."

"What's going on?" Jing Yu felt surprised, so he asked immediately.

"Mr. Henry came back yesterday afternoon and said that you were at Mr. Stamford's house and planned to spend the night there so he asked him to pick up the box," Andrew quickly explained, "But sir, he spoke a little hesitantly, and you had told everyone not to move the box, so I refused, unless he could take out the note you wrote, am I doing this wrong?"

"Yes, dear Andrew." Jing Yu was immediately happy when he heard the butler say this, "Nothing is more right than what you did this time, my dear butler."

It is estimated that when Henry came back, he had not been locked up by Ralph Stanford, and Henry obviously overestimated himself. Unexpectedly, Andrew knew that Jing Yu attached great importance to the box and did not hand it over to him at all.

"What about the Henry?" Jing Yu asked curiously.

"He couldn't get the box, and said you were still waiting for him to go back at Mr. Stamford, and he would come over with your handwritten note in the evening, and then he left," Andrew continued to explain.

Jing Yu guessed that Henry probably saw that he could not get the box, so he wanted to go back to find Ralph Stanford to get a note from his hand, but the round trip was not short. When he returned, he might have escaped with the help of Carol Stanford, so he could not get his handwritten note, which means he kept his box.

Jing Yu couldn't help but feel very lucky. His things are still there and he will definitely keep them in the future. Ralph Stamford is not giving up. It will be a problem to send a few thieves to steal them. However, we can talk about this matter again. For Gleason, he was a little surprised why the other party appeared here.

Andrew explained that since Henry came back yesterday and asked to pick up the box but he didn't agree and left in a hurry, he felt something was wrong, because he had been serving Jing Yu for a while and knew that Jing Yu would never spend the night outside. Moreover, before going to Stamford Manor yesterday, Jing Yu did not mention the fact that he wanted to spend the night there. Instead, he also told him to prepare a midnight snack for himself and come back to eat it. Obviously, Jing Yu has no plan to spend the night outside, and even if he wants to spend the night there, it seems that he can't use it to let Henry come and take away the box. He can only bring some personal supplies, so he was a little worried.

He knew the relationship between Jing Yu and Gleason, so he found Gleason and invited him. After hearing about Jing Yu's affairs, Gleason was also worried, so he prepared to wait and see. If Jing Yu didn't go back overnight, he would go to Stanford's Mansion to ask, so he stayed here for a night, originally planning to go over early in the morning to see what was going on.
