I am a literary giant in Europe

Chapter 244 Pressure

Chapter 244 Pressure
Liu Jin got home after nine o'clock.

The journey was smooth, and there were no further unexpected events.

But he was still worried.

After locking the gate, he went upstairs, then went into the storage room on the second floor, took a box from the shelf, and returned to the study.

Open the box; inside is a pistol.

It was a housewarming gift from Chloe after he moved.

Liu Jin did not have a gun license, so he could not carry it and kept it in the storage room.

Take the gun out, disassemble it, clean the parts, and then quickly reassemble it.

I tried it out while it was idle, and it worked well.

Then load the bullets into the magazine.

After loading the magazine, Liu Jin aimed twice at the window before letting out a sigh of relief. He put the gun in the desk drawer and returned the box to the storage room.

He never underestimated the despicable nature of a humble life.

Today is just a test.

But the test won't be just once!
They will definitely take further action, just like they did with Mr. Zhang in America.

However, he is not Mr. Zhang.

I took a shower and turned on my computer.

Liu Jin continued writing.

According to the plan, he will finish "Million Dollar Baby" by the end of May.

But now it seems we need to speed things up!
What kind of actions will be taken in the days to come? He didn't know, but he could roughly guess that it would be the same tactics used on Mr. Zhang, applied to him.

At that time, he may not have a moment of peace.

Why not finish this book now, before we even begin?

Summer vacation is in two months, so I can contact Carmen Balces and go to Spain for a vacation and some seclusion.

As for the future, we'll see!
……

At first, my emotions were a bit unstable.

But he quickly adjusted his mood and got into writing mode.

I was in good form tonight and finished 5,000 words in an hour and a half.

It was very quiet outside.

The two puppies have returned to their kennel and are fast asleep.

Eva had had enough fun, so she slipped into the study, jumped onto the table, curled up in a ball, and closed her eyes.

Many nights, Liu Jin wrote with this companionship.

Today, the same is true.

Dim yellow light, a glaringly bright computer screen.

One character after another jumps across the document...

Liu Jin wrote for another hour, then checked the time and it was almost one o'clock.

He stretched and closed the document.

Just as he was about to shut down his computer, a dog suddenly barked downstairs.

It's Julie and Adrian.

Liu Jin was taken aback, got up and walked to the window, about to open it.

There was a loud crack as the window was struck by an unidentified object, shattering the glass and sending shards flying everywhere.

Liu Jin couldn't dodge in time, and a shard of glass grazed his eyebrow, causing blood to flow immediately.

Without saying a word, he turned around, opened the window, took out a pistol, rushed to the window, and pushed it open...

Two figures dashed away.

Immediately following was the roar of motorcycles.

Eva was so frightened that she hid behind the bookshelf.

Liu Jin rushed downstairs with a gun in one hand and a phone in the other, and opened the door.

Julie and Adrian had already rushed out of the kennel and were barking incessantly at the door.

“Julie, Adrian, let’s go back.”

Liu Jin opened the courtyard gate, stepped onto the street in front of the gate, looked around, and dialed the police number 17 on his mobile phone.

He walked into the courtyard with a gloomy face.

After thinking for a moment, he put the gun back in the storage room and hid it.

Saint-Jacques Street is an affluent area with a good safety record.

After receiving the emergency call, the police quickly dispatched officers to Liu Jin's home.

"Rust?"

"Amos, did you call the police?"

Surprisingly, I ran into an acquaintance, Rust from the boxing gym.

Rust was also surprised. He gestured to his partner to check the situation, then walked over and hugged Liu Jin.

"Amos, what happened?"

Liu Jin breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that it was an acquaintance.

He explained the situation to Rust, and Rust and his companion went upstairs to investigate.

It was a stone, a very ordinary stone, that smashed the window...

"Could it be a prank?"

"My partner said softly."

Liu Jin said, "No!"

"Don't move, let me put a band-aid on you."

Rust held Liu Jin down and applied a band-aid to his brow bone. "You almost hurt your eye."

"When I was driving home at night, someone followed me, and I noted down the license plate number."

I reacted quickly and pulled over to the side of the road. There were two Asian people in the car, probably from small towns, who made threatening gestures at me.

I didn't pay much attention at first, and then I went back to my room to write.

Suddenly, the dog downstairs started barking. I went to the window to try and stop it, but…

How do you know the other person is a "small-minded" person?

Liu Jin glanced at the policeman and said coldly, "Because of my book, my novel, they are terrified."

"The novel, Amos..."

The young policeman finally realized what was happening.

"You're Amos? The Amos who wrote 'Amélie' and 'Pirates of the Caribbean'! My God, how could it be you?"

Rust raised his hand and covered his face.

"Philip, go outside and take a look."

"Um... okay!"
Amos, I'm a huge fan of yours! I've watched Pirates of the Caribbean so many times, and I absolutely adore Captain Sparrow! Could I please get his autograph?

"No problem, no problem!"

The young policeman went downstairs.

Liu Jin looked at Rust and couldn't help but laugh, "Your colleague!"

"dare you laugh?"

Rust said with a dark expression, "Looks like you're alright."

He walked around the room, took pictures, and put the stone into an evidence bag.

"Did you get a good look at what the other person looked like?"

"No, when I got to the window, I saw two figures from behind and heard the sound of a motorcycle."

"That's not right. According to you, the glass was broken when you were standing at the window, so you should have immediately..."

Rust asked.

"I'll come back to get the gun."

"You have a gun?"

"Shh!"

Rust immediately realized what was going on and whispered, "Hide the thing well, don't show it, otherwise it'll be another problem."

After saying that, he wrote in his notebook: Mr. Amos was injured and in his panic he was unable to see the other person's face clearly. He only saw two figures from behind and heard the sound of a motorcycle.

"remember?"

"remember!"

In an instant, the two rehearsed their statements.

"This is a bit difficult to investigate; there are very few surveillance cameras around here..."

monitor?

Liu Jin hurriedly said, "Wait a minute!"

He took out his phone and dialed Ottilie's number.

After a long pause, Ottilie answered the phone, but her tone was menacing.

"Amos, what time is it that you're calling me?"

"I'm so sorry, something came up on my end, that's why I bothered you. I remember you mentioned before that you installed a camera in my house when I went to America, right?"

"Yes, there are three cameras in total."

One is at the gate of the courtyard, one is under the eaves, and one is installed inside your house.

You haven't been ignoring it all this time, have you? That equipment is in the storage room on the first floor. The surveillance footage is stored on a hard drive and overwritten every three days... Wait, what happened to you? Why are you asking about the cameras?

I'll explain it to you later.

Liu Jin hung up the phone, took Rust downstairs, and found the surveillance equipment on the shelf in the storage room.

Turn off the camera and remove the storage hard drive.

It's quite bulky!

Liu Jin moved the storage device out and connected it to the TV.

Then, press the play button.

He fast-forwarded to the time before the window was smashed, then played it normally.

“Last year I went to America for more than a month, and my assistant was worried that no one would be home, so he installed a surveillance system.”

She mentioned it to me once, but I'd completely forgotten!

Soon, images of the streets outside appeared on the television screen.

Two men walked from the street corner, putting on hoods as they went.

They probably didn't expect there to be cameras, so they didn't hide their faces when they walked into the street.
