I am a literary giant in Europe

Chapter 251 Escape!

The situation is getting a bit out of control.

On May 5, the Toulouse police issued another statement: the suspect who hired the killer was a mid-level employee of a Japanese company.

This Japanese company is not large, with only a dozen or so employees.

Moreover, most of them are Japanese employees.

The company is primarily engaged in trade and receives funding from JICA.

JICA denied any involvement and announced it would cease funding the project.

Subsequently, the executive of the Japanese company admitted that he was the one who orchestrated the attack on Amos.

He was a nobody, and he took this action because he was angry about Liu Jin's smear campaign against him.

When questioned by the police about the death certificate, he vehemently denied it.

But nobody believed it...

Because of this incident, Naruto, which had been consistently ranked first on the best-selling manga charts, was also affected.

It lost its top spot to "WALL-E".

Countless French people then discovered that Liu Jin was not only a bestselling author, but also an excellent cartoonist.

"Dargo Group sent a fax stating that the stock of WALL-E and Supergirl this week has doubled compared to last week."

"Isn't that a good thing?"

"Congratulations, you're about to receive a large sum of money again."

"Hehe, thanks!"

Liu Jin is now able to get out of bed.

His injuries were not actually very serious; they were mainly fractures.

Most of the knife wounds were minor, and the two more serious wounds were not serious.

In the doctor's words: He has a good constitution and a strong ability to recover.

Liu Jin felt that this must be a gift from his rebirth.

How are the sales figures for "Life Is Beautiful"?

On the phone, Mela laughed helplessly.

"I must congratulate you, you've succeeded... Last week, Life Is Beautiful' sold over 600,000 copies in a single week, and the total sales have reached 1.13 million copies."

"very nice!"

Yes, an excellent result.

Next week, the English version will be released in North America. According to a statement from Random House, your attack has garnered significant attention from the victim community… Damn it, you succeeded again! This book will sell over ten million copies.

"Mera, I'm going to use half of the royalties from this book to create a fund for victims in Shanghai."

This money will be used to support the descendants of Chinese people who helped the victims back then… You know, I need some protection now.”

"No problem, I'll coordinate with Brown on this."

After hanging up the phone, Liu Jin breathed a sigh of relief.

Half of the royalties is no small amount.

But Liu Jin felt it was worth it!
Most importantly, this money is not for outsiders, but for Chinese people.

As for how this money will be used, we will coordinate with the Shanghai government at that time...

He lay in bed for a while, then suddenly turned over and sat up.

"I'm leaving the hospital!"

Rust opened the door and poked half his head in.

"Amos, why are you in such a hurry to be discharged from the hospital?"

"Number 10, I have an exam, a French exam."

"What are you talking about? Your French is better than mine, a Frenchman."

"...Ruster, could you please stop comparing me to you? I feel a little ashamed."

"You bastard, I'm protecting you."

"I'm so grateful, I've been eating lots of meat and fish these past two days."

But where do you get the audacity to compare a great writer like me to an illiterate Frenchman like yourself?

Rust's face turned black!

“Amos, you weren’t like this before. You used to speak very gently.”

"I've just figured it out, and from now on I'll only be gentle with girls."

"You're shameless."

Rust thought of the three women, Sophie Marceau, Alizee, Heidi Klum, and finally the French girl who had come to visit Liu Jin yesterday… He should have been discharged long ago, damn it!
The girl was an actress, a theatrical actress.

Her name is Eva Green.

She was on tour in Lyon when she heard that Liu Jin was injured, so she secretly came to Toulouse.

I had a friendly match with Liu Jin last night, and I left by train early this morning...

Rust spent the whole night listening outside.

He was now certain that Liu Jin was completely unharmed.

He decided to stop pitying him!

……

The doctor came to examine her that day.

It was finally confirmed that Liu Jin could be discharged from the hospital.

So Liu Jin called Chloe to pick him up from the hospital.

Chloe swore the whole time.

"Why not ask Mela? Why not ask Ottilie? Why ask me? I'm not your babysitter."

"Because you are the first girl I met in France, my dear Chloe."

"Get out of here... Shouldn't the first girl you ever met have been Emily?" Chloe couldn't stand Liu Jin's flirtatious words and was both amused and exasperated.

"Knowing you is going to bring me terrible luck!"

She helped Liu Jin out of the hospital.

Behind the two, Rust enviously wanted to pull out his gun and kill Liu Jin.

……

The bandages have been mostly removed.

Apart from two slightly serious areas that were still bandaged, his arm was still in a cast.

But overall, it no longer affects operations.

Liu Jin returned to school.

But when he returned to school, he found that the wind direction was not right.

"Brian, when did you save me?"

"You heartless bastard! When I saw you being surrounded, I rushed in immediately."

"But by then, Robert had already fired his gun and scared them away!"

"Just tell me, did I rush over there or not!"

"You charged in, but when did you knock him down?"

"No? The one who fainted back then..."

“Yes, yes, if it weren’t for Brian, you would be in danger, Amos!”

Martina cheered from the sidelines, even bringing over Serena Lin as a witness, saying, "Serena, aren't you right?"

Selena smiled without saying a word.

Actually, it's just a boy bragging.

Liu Jin wasn't really bothered by it; he just thought Brian was shameless.

This guy is ruining my reputation!
I fought four against one, and I took down one of them with my bare hands... but now it's him who's showing off.

Damn it, Martina even helped him commit perjury!

Liu Jin viciously extorted money from Brian.

"Have you finished writing your new book?"

"Which one?"

"It's the novel about boxing that they talk about on TV."

"It's already finished, it will be finished by May Day."

"Send it to me so I can see it."

"Okay, I'll print it out for you in a couple of days."

Brian was also a fan of his, so Liu Jin naturally wouldn't refuse.

Selena suddenly asked, "Where's your copy of Notre Dame?"

"Let's do it in the second half of the year!"

"I read in the newspaper that you will suffer a Waterloo."

Liu Jin couldn't help laughing.

He had also seen the comments on this matter.

Given his recent high profile, many people, in addition to expressing outrage at the attack on him, have also raised concerns.

One of the authors, a female writer named Aure Atika, published an article.

He is an actor, writer, and director.

He is five years older than Liu Jin and is also a rising writer in France.

In her article, she said: I admit that Amos is incredibly talented, and I am a fan and reader of his myself.

I've read "Love Me If You Dare" countless times, especially "Two Little Ones".

I must admit, since Amos published *Amélie* in 2000, he has never failed. In fact, I have extremely high expectations for his other completed but unpublished works… but *The Hunchback of Notre Dame*?
I'm sorry, I don't know what kind of story he's planning to create.

But Professor Brice said it was set against the backdrop of the French Revolution... I don't think he could write it well.

It was a complex and turbulent era, and one cannot truly understand its intricacies without living through it. It cannot be fully grasped simply by reading a few history books or contemporary works… As a Frenchman, I am equally curious about that era and hope for an outstanding work to be produced.

But if it's Amos...

I think that might be his Waterloo.

However, I still hold him in the highest esteem.

Liu Jin had also read this article.

He had to admit that she was right.

Aulet's article is actually a very fair statement.

Only a Frenchman could capture the true essence of that era...

The problem is, I have cheat codes!
Liu Jin didn't intend to refute Aurelia; it was pointless.

A writer must let their work speak for itself. You can say a thousand or ten thousand words, but if your work isn't outstanding, it's all empty talk and nonsense.

Let's talk about it after Notre Dame de Paris comes out.

Liu Jin smiled when he heard Selena's question.

"It's okay. Great writers always grow up under the scrutiny and doubt of others."

Besides, failure is nothing to be ashamed of; it will only make me stronger. Let's wait and see what happens after the final product is released.

He said in a deep voice.

Martina couldn't help but exclaim, "Amos, that expression of yours is so seductive!"

Brian and Selena couldn't help but burst into laughter...
