I am a literary giant in Europe

Chapter 250 A strange combination of circumstances
It was late at night, and there was no one else in the ward!
Mela's face darkened. "Liu, you'd better explain yourself."

"what?"

"You told Lao Zhong about your self-inflicted injury scheme the other day, and today..."

Chloe and Ottilie both turned to look at Old Zhong.

Old Zhong said with a wry smile, "Don't look at me."

Okay, I'll confess. Before, Liu Jin and I devised a plan to use this opportunity to create some hype.

"The bullets, I arranged them!"

"what?"

Chloe's mouth dropped open.

"Liu Jin and I have agreed that after the death threat, we will find someone to stage an attack on him to create public opinion."

You received the call, right?

"Ok!"

Liu Jin nodded and said, "It was because of this phone call that I let my guard down."

"According to the plan, he would first receive a threatening phone call, and then be attacked and injured!"

Old Zhong scratched his head and said, "But I didn't expect that Xiao Rizi would take action to carry out emergency rescue."

According to my plan, after Liu Jin was attacked, the police would increase their control over Xiao Rizi. Besides, the World Cup is about to start, and Xiao Rizi wouldn't dare to act recklessly at this time. It's just... those people are really crazy.”

"I think you two are the ones who are truly insane!"

Ottilie got angry and slapped Old Zhong.

"How would I know? If we follow our plan, Liu Jin will be safer."

Chloe slapped Liu Jin's arm.

"You're really bold, you've gotten my brother into serious trouble too..."

"It hurts..."

Mela said irritably, "Now you know it hurts?"

"Now you know how crazy they are."

"You!"

Mela sat down beside the hospital bed.

"Old Zhong, there's no flaw in it, is there?"

"Of course!"

"That bridge is Zhengwu..."

"Don't worry, he doesn't know anything. It was all a setup I arranged, and I didn't show up at all."

The person who contacted Ohashi Masago was also of Japanese descent.

However, he has already taken the money and left France; no one can find him now.

Liu Jin couldn't help but ask, "Where did you go?"

"He should be in Osaka right now. Tomorrow he will fly to America, where he will change his identity and settle down."

Mela couldn't help but laugh.

"Are you guys trying to ruin our lives?"

"Everything was going smoothly until..."

Old Zhong said with a wry smile, "According to my plan, I intend to make my move when Liu enters Cannes, which will have a greater impact."

"Give me a break. You're already ruining our lives, and now you're ruining the Cannes Film Festival too."

Mela was both amused and exasperated.

She thought for a moment and said in a deep voice, "The self-inflicted injury ruse ends here. We know nothing more."

Chloe, don't worry about them, they're not..."

"What do I care about? I'm just angry!"

"angry?"

"Such a fun activity, and you didn't even include me."

Mela and Ottilie looked at her, momentarily at a loss for words.

……

Liu Jin is asleep in the hospital!
Ottilie and Old Chung went to his house to take care of the three little ones.

Mela and Chloe had originally planned to stay and take care of Liu Jin, but the police intervened and sent officers to protect him.

After all, this is the Toulouse police department's major financial backer.

The people who came to protect Liu Jin were also acquaintances.

Rust!
With this guy around, things are much easier. After all, Rust has a gun and is highly skilled.

This guy is about to become a professional boxer, much better than Liu Jin, who's only half-baked.

"Oh, and remember to thank the cashier for me."

Before going to bed, Liu Jin reminded Mela.

"If he hadn't fired the shot, I reckon my injuries would have been much worse."

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it!"

……

Liu Jin was asleep, but all of France was in an uproar!
TF1, France2, France3 and other television stations all reported on the attack on Liu Jin in their evening news.

It can be said that Liu Jin's attack alarmed the entire country of France.

If he were an ordinary international student, no one would care whether he lived or died.

But he is a bestselling author, and a bestselling author with works like "The Old Man and the Sea," which is a completely different matter.

In an interview with Amos's Companion, Bernard mentioned another book.

Million Dollar Baby!
This book was inspired by retired French boxer Abel.

A boxer who once fought Holyfield, though he suffered a crushing defeat.

Abel is past his prime; many people don't even know who he is.

But after the interview, he once again came into the French public's view.

Amos, truly a good friend of French names!
He always manages to create stories that resonate with the French!
He is the best friend of 60 million French people...

Ernest in The Old Man and the Sea;

Amélie from Amélie;

It is said that the male protagonist in "The Father Trapped in Time" was inspired by his agent, the publisher's grandfather.

This makes many French people feel that the French cultural heritage has been revitalized!

Now, the French people's good writer and good friend has been attacked.

Just because he wrote a book about a victim living in Shanghai during World War II and the persecution she suffered in her daily life...

The victim actually lived in Shanghai!

They may not have concentration camps, but they live in refugee camps.

This is a fact!

You ask me what the difference is between a refugee camp and a concentration camp? I can tell you, there is no difference; a refugee camp is a concentration camp!

The message sent back from the front lines in Toulouse included an interview with a cashier.

"Amos is a very friendly person! He doesn't act superior just because he's a bestselling author, nor does he buy luxury goods just because he's rich. He bought some local Toulouse red wine, and I recommended a brandy to him. He didn't feel bothered at all, listened to my explanation, and ended up taking two bottles."

Reporter: Were you fucking threatened by your boss? Advertising?! Unbelievable!
Cashier: Yes, my boss just called me and asked me to highlight our wine, and gave me a 500 euro bonus.

"He received a phone call during the purchase process."

It must be the language of "Little Days". I've seen their adult films, and it has that same flavor.

Then Amos got very angry… He said some things, but I don’t remember them clearly. I only remember him saying: “I’m a man, I’m not afraid of you!” Oh, and I think he also said that you only bully women… I think it was a woman named Iris.”

The reporter left very satisfied!

……

The following day, news about Liu Jin being attacked spread like wildfire.

Hundreds of writers and journalists published commentaries in the newspapers.

The content is mostly about criticizing the mundane aspects of life!
Gilbert's words struck a chord with him: "Literary creation is free and unrestrained!"

Today Amos was attacked for exposing the atrocities committed by the small-time enthusiasts. Tomorrow, when we write about some sensitive events, will we be shot?

This has already affected the interests of countless writers!
They used to take money to criticize Liu Jin, but now they firmly stand on Liu Jin's side and criticize Xiao Rizi.

The embassy held a press conference that day, firmly denying any connection with them.

How do you explain "Ōhashi Sōgo"?

"Furthermore, according to a statement from the Toulouse police, there were four attackers in total. Three of them participated in the attack, while the other was responsible for providing a car for them. According to their statements, a small group of people contacted them and provided them with 3,000 euros and a car. They were refugees who had just arrived from Trinidad and Tobago and did not know Amos."

"No comment!"

"However, according to the Toulouse police report, an hour earlier, they searched a Japanese company in Toulouse and found records of phone calls between them and the JICA. Could it be concluded that the Japanese company was a violent organization supported by the JICA?"

"JICA is an independent agency, unrelated to the government. As for them, please have pity on the other departments."

Which department?

"No comment!"

The spokesperson was in a very awkward position at that moment...
