I am a literary giant in Europe

Chapter 419: In seclusion!
Of course Abel knows Chloe.

Back then, it was Chloe who introduced Liu Jin to this boxing gym.

Chloe also trained here for a while, but after she obtained her professional certificate, she came less often.

But Abel was still grateful to Chloe.

If it weren't for Chloe, she wouldn't have met Liu Jin.

He made a lot of money from Liu Jin, although it was nothing compared to Liu Jin's income.

Most importantly, after the publication of "Million Dollar Baby" this year, Liu Jin's business improved significantly because he mentioned Abel in the preface.

Today, the boxing gym has grown to include over a hundred academies and more than a dozen coaches.

In addition, Abel had connections in both the legal and illegal worlds, and lived a very comfortable life.

"Are you talking about the ZD refugee case?"

"you know?"

Abel said, "Of course I know... but why would Clay take on a case like this?"

"What's wrong?
Do you know where those guys come from?

"Know something."

Abel and Liu Jin walked out of the boxing gym and sat down on the steps outside the gate.

"As you know, the NM people who came to France before were mainly from Algeria and Tunisia. But with the outbreak of the second Gulf War this year, the number of refugees from the ZD region has increased dramatically. Most of them are from YLK and XLY."

After these guys arrived, they joined some organizations.

Some are local gangs, which are better; they follow some rules. Others…

Abel pointed to the sky.

Liu Jin immediately understood.

Some of them are organized groups behind the scenes.

“Those people are…”

"Ok!"

Abel handed Liu Jin a cigarette and said softly, "Those guys have refugee organizations backing them up, so they're always very arrogant."

Moreover, he doesn't follow the rules and acts very arrogantly.

Chloe has provoked them; she'll probably be in trouble.

"Can we warn them?"

How to issue a warning?

Abel said with a wry smile, "They have an organization behind them."

For some reason, a scene suddenly flashed through Liu Jin's mind.

Twenty years later, during a French election, a member of parliament who was a victim shouted in a speech: France is the land of the victims.

Later, during a debate, he said with a smile, "France is of course the victim. How many damned Gauls are left in France now? Those fools are no longer here. The victim is of course the master of France."

By sending refugees and exporting ideology, they are disrupting France's security environment.

Then, hollow out France!

This is also a common tactic used by victims.

In his previous life, during the years Liu Jin studied abroad, the security situation in France was chaotic, but... it wasn't too bad, definitely not as chaotic as it became later.

At least at the beginning of the new millennium, the French were still the French.

However, more than a decade later, the Gallic chicken had become a Silkie chicken.

The influx of a large number of NMs caused tremendous turmoil.

The key issue is that these women are very skilled at usurping other women's positions and, relying on the French welfare system, are desperately having children...

We've gotten a bit off-topic, let's get back to the main point.

If in my past life memories, the deceased female lawyer was Chloe.

That seems plausible.

Her father is the chairman of the board of directors of the Paris Bar Association.

They belong to the type of people who are very powerful.

Even so, it took him two years to get justice, which shows how much power those guys had behind them.

Even in the end, the chairman committed suicide by shooting himself, which shows how desperate he was.

Of course, all of this is based on the premise that the female lawyer is Chloe.

"Abel, keep an eye on those guys for me. Contact me if anything comes up."

"That's no problem."

"If we can find evidence of their crimes, that would be best, so that the police can take them down. Only then can Toulouse truly be at peace."

"It's hard!"

Abel said softly, "But we can give it a try."

Praise to France, this is not yet the era of Macron's rule.

Whether it was Chirac or the future Sarkozy, their attitudes toward the NM were quite tough.

No wonder people kept a close eye on Sarkozy after he stepped down; it was probably because he had caused a lot of trouble.

After leaving Abel's boxing gym, Liu Jin went home.

That's all he can do; anything more would be beyond his capabilities.

Of course, he could choose to ignore it.

But Chloe...

He absolutely cannot stand idly by.

Whether France is in chaos or not has nothing to do with him.

Chloe is his friend, and he can't let anything happen to her.

On the surface, Genevieve was protecting him; behind the scenes, Abel had people watching him.

At least we can get through this ordeal.

Don't forget, Chloe's cousin is the chief of the Toulouse police department!

……

Qianqian came back on Friday.

The car accident has been resolved, and she received 13,000 euros in compensation for her Volkswagen Beetle.

Then, she took a liking to Liu Jin's Picasso.

It doesn't really matter; although Liu Jin's Picasso is a second-hand car, it's well-maintained.

He originally wanted to keep a low profile.

But since his niece had asked, he had no choice but to agree.

However, we should still file a complaint!

On the Mid-Autumn Festival, he told the old lady about Qianqian's car accident.

Then, my older sister made a phone call and gave Qianqian a thorough dressing-down.

Liu Jin did not mention that she had asked him for the car.

So Qianqian could only be very angry inside, but had to maintain a fawning smile on her face.

Her awkwardness made Liu Jin laugh uncontrollably, but Qianqian couldn't express her dissatisfaction.

With Qianqian's arrival, we now have free labor.

Actually, Liu Jin had almost finished preparing everything, mainly the books, which had already been packed and sealed properly.

He hired a moving company to load the furniture and bookshelves onto the truck.

As he was about to leave, Liu Jin stood in the courtyard, reluctant to leave, and lingered for a long time. After all, this was the first house he had bought in Toulouse.

This is the first time in two lifetimes that I've bought property overseas...

There are still some feelings involved!

Old Zhong and Ottilie came over and helped him drive away in his RV; Mela and Chloe each drove away in one of the two Mercedes-Benzes.

"Chloe, what do you think of this ML55?"

"nice!"

Chloe replied dismissively.

Her eyes were fixed on Liu Jin's silver-gray Mercedes-Benz McLaren, without even blinking.

"Don't even think about it!"

"I wasn't thinking about anything!"

"But your eyes have already betrayed you."

Mella sat in the McLaren, giggling incessantly.

Chloe snapped, "Why? Why does Mera drive a McLaren while I can only drive an ML55?"

"Because you react too slowly!"

Mela said with a smile, which made Chloe clench her fists and let out a dissatisfied scream.

Genevieve led Julie and Adrian out and saw Liu Jin and the other two joking around. She then understood why Liu Jin cared so much about Chloe.

Their relationship is so good!

……

"Are you really going to sell this house?"

"Ok!"

Liu Jin got into the car and nodded vigorously.

"I originally intended to rent this house to Ms. Dumont."

But she bought her own house, so she doesn't need it anymore... leaving it vacant isn't a good thing either.

Although I really like this place, it's always been empty. I'm afraid those bastards will take a liking to it, and that would become a problem.

Although I don't understand it, it makes sense.

In 2003, France was not yet witnessing the blatant house-grabbing that would occur twenty years later.

Europe twenty years later was truly magical.

Tenants don't pay rent, and landlords are helpless. In Spain, there have even been cases of Chinese-owned properties being occupied by NM (non-local residents), and the police have been unable to evict them.

It seems to be some kind of legal restriction...

It's fucking magical!

Liu Jin got a bargain when he bought this house; he didn't spend too much money.

Now, selling at the normal market price, it would be around three thousand euros per square meter, given its excellent location.

"Amos!"

"Hmm?" Old Zhong and Ottilie came over after settling the cats and dogs.

Are you selling this house?

"Yes!"

"Sell it to me."

"what?"

"This house is quite nice. If I had the money, I would have bought it."

"If you're going to sell, why not sell it to me? But make it cheap; I don't have that much money."

"You want to buy?"

"Old Zhong's house is a bit far away, and that little courtyard in Chinatown isn't suitable for living either."

This place is nice; it's close to restaurants and publishing houses. I'll sell my apartment later, and with Lao Zhong contributing some money, it should be fine. It's quiet, has a nice view, and the neighborhood is okay, especially this courtyard—you've wasted it.”

Ottilie helped him find the house in the first place.

It's suitable for her to buy it now.

"One million euros, is that alright?"

Old Zhong and Ottilie exchanged a glance and agreed without hesitation.

This house could sell for 1.5 million euros on the market.

Although Liu Jin only spent a few hundred thousand euros when he bought it, he made at least double his money by reselling it.

But that's not how you calculate it...

"Alright then, I'll have Clay draft a contract later."

I'll sell my apartment as soon as possible and then get the money..."

"Please transfer the money to my mother's account in China."

"Row!"

“You have the key. Once this place is cleared out, you can start renovating anytime.”

"Then I'm not welcome!"

Ottilie and Old Chung exchanged a smile.

Then, quite idly, they held hands, and a strange, cloying scent of love immediately filled the air.

"Mera, drive!"

Liu Jin simply couldn't take it anymore!
……

Alizee returned from Madrid on Sunday.

She already knew that Liu Jin had moved, so she went directly to the house in the Saint-Étienne neighborhood.

"Ali, starting tomorrow I'm going to live in the school dormitory and begin my seclusion."

Please keep an eye on things at home. You can stay here for now. If you need anything, just buy it first, and I'll reimburse you later.

“Bien!”

Alizee's answer was very straightforward.

Her studies were not heavy, and she had a much more relaxed schedule than Liu Jin.

In addition, the Toulouse National Conservatory of Music is located in the city center, not far from the Saint-Étienne neighborhood, making it very convenient to travel to and from.

"Liu Jin, what are you doing in seclusion!"

"I need to finish a novel by the end of the month; Ottilie needs it urgently."

"Why!"

"Let's have a duel!"

Alizee didn't ask any more questions, but happily chose a room on the second floor.

Qianqian, of course, didn't stand on ceremony and took over a room.

The entire third floor belonged to Liu Jin.

Reassembling the furniture, especially the bookshelves, is quite a hassle.

Fortunately, we can find workers.

After arranging everything, as Monday arrived, Liu Jin drove Alizee's newly purchased Renault Visody and excitedly headed straight for Toulouse II with Eva.
