I am a literary giant in Europe

Chapter 453 A Photograph!!
Liu Jin saw the two little black ones.

When the two black men pulled out guns and pointed them at him, his mind went completely blank.

The feeling was like going back to my past life, when I was studying in America and two Mexican men were pointing guns at me.

However, he heard Genevieve shouting.

The instant the gun fired, Chloe, who was beside him, rushed over and tried to push him away.

Immediately afterwards, I felt a pain in my shoulder.

It looked like there was some liquid on her face.

This, on the contrary, calmed Liu Jin down.

He reached out and pulled Chloe into his arms, pressing her body down and shielding her beneath him.

At the same time, Liu Jin looked around warily!
Across the street, a paparazzi snapped more than a dozen photos with his camera.

At this moment, after Genevieve knocked down the two black men, she retreated to Liu Jin's side with her gun in hand, spreading one arm to protect Liu Jin's body.

"Boss, let's go to the coffee shop!"

Liu Jin then came to his senses, pressed Chloe's body down with one hand, and pulled Lala with the other, retreating into the cafe.

Mela rushed forward, looking tense.

"Liu, are you alright?!"

The adrenaline receded like a tide.

Liu Jin felt a sharp pain in his shoulder.

I think I've been shot!

he whispered.

Chloe straightened up and saw the bloodstains on Liu Jin's face.

"Call an ambulance!"

Mela was getting anxious too.

Liu Jin was wearing a light blue coat today, but half of his body was now stained red with blood.

Lala frantically pulled out her phone to dial a number, while at the same time, the sound of police sirens blared from outside the cafe.

Liu Jin plopped down in a chair, leaning against the bar.

He chuckled.

"Amos, don't scare me, what are you laughing at?"

"I'm fine, I just... damn it, who's trying to kill me!"

He finally came to his senses.

Genevieve came in from outside and checked the wound.

"A penetrating wound, but nothing serious!"
I just asked my former colleague, and he is a Tunisian refugee.

Boss, when did you become enemies with Tunisian refugees? You even sent gunmen here.

They still have your photo!

"Tunisia NM?"

Liu Jin's face was a little pale.

He leaned against the bar, puzzled, and said, "I don't even know where Tunisia is!"

"This is a bit strange, but don't worry, Boss, I'll find out more about it."

Who wants to kill me?
I'm just a writer, who would kill me?
Literary feuds?
Lajir, go to hell.

Yes, he had a few enemies in the French literary world, but not enough to warrant assassination.

Guillaume?
Michelle?
It's not that bad...

But what if they're not in the same industry?
A sudden inspiration flashed through Liu Jin's mind.

"A simple life, a simple life!"

"what?"

Chloe was supporting Liu Jin's body, letting his head rest against her chest.

"Amos, what nonsense are you talking about?"

"Gina, it must be related to her daily life!"

Jewish?
There wasn't that much of a grudge.

To some extent, Liu Jin is now a friend, and there is no conflict between them.

Then all that's left is a simple life!

He knew that with the success of "The Eye of the Beast" in America, discussions about the Xiao Ri Zi ethnic group were becoming increasingly heated.

Indeed, since the post-war period, the Little Americans have consistently promoted their politeness and craftsmanship. Most Westerners have a very positive impression of them, and few even remember that they were once a member of the Axis powers.

Including in America!
In the immediate aftermath of World War II, the American people were very wary of their daily lives.

However, after being castrated by Arthur, his vigilance towards his private life has become increasingly lower.

In the past, people would shout "Kill the Japanese devils!" But now, many Americans have even forgotten who attacked Pearl Harbor.

In his book, Liu Jin mentions how Xiao Rizi (小日子) infiltrated America's political and military circles.

In fact, this is not fiction.

For example, Norman Mineta, who once served as the Commerce Secretary of London.

For example, Harry Harris, a Japanese-American naval officer who served as chief of staff in America's Sixth Fleet.

It is said that the Ministry of National Defense intends to appoint him as the commander of the Sixth Fleet in the future...

The film "The Eye of the Ferocious Beast" has raised the guard of the American people.

An internal investigation has been launched into Japanese-Americans and those of mixed Japanese-American descent in politics and the military, but no results have been released yet. This has led to increased investment in America by the company.

If Liu Jin were to immediately write something like "Nanjing" or "731," he would definitely be suppressed by the Jews, just like when Iris Chang wrote "The Rape of Nanking," and her influence on America was quietly eliminated.

But now...

Liu Jin creates his works from the perspective of Jews and Americans.

This really hit their sweet spot.

In the eyes of many Americans, Liu Jin is pro-Western and willing to align himself with Jewish or American interests.

This is also the outcome they wanted to see.

Meanwhile, in order to suppress the "little life" and make it behave like a dog, the Anssa people and Jews also played a role in promoting the publication of the two books, "Life Is Beautiful" and "The Eyes of the Deadly Beast".

In addition, Liu Jin had previously caused a disturbance at a symposium in the country.

The little people have come to understand that Liu Jin is a staunch anti-Japanese figure.

……

Therefore, it is highly likely that Xiao Rizi assassinated Liu Jin.

Moreover, this aligns with the way people live their lives.

If my threats, bribery, and attempts to win you over fail, I will not hesitate to use the most drastic measures to physically eliminate you.

The ambulance has arrived!
Liu Jin was lifted into an ambulance.

Mela, Chloe, and Lala accompanied the ambulance to the hospital.

Genevieve stayed behind to communicate with the police.

What was originally an ordinary book signing event suddenly attracted the attention of all of Paris because of the shooting.

The three gunshots at the autograph session, in particular, drove the media into a frenzy!
Celebrities (Liu Jin is quite famous in France), shootings, refugees... all these have led to various speculations and rumors.

Conspiracy theories took hold overnight.

After being released from the police station, Genevieve spoke to the media.

"The boss believes that NM is a scapegoat and that they have been bribed!"
Who has hated Boss the most since he became famous? If Boss were to die, who would be happy?

The media reached a conclusion overnight.

The only people who truly hate Liu Jin are Xiao Rizi and Bangzi.

Therefore, the biggest suspects behind this shooting should be Xiao Rizi and Bangzi.

The following day, Le Figaro published a photograph.

Because Liu Jin is Chinese, and he began his creative career in France.

At the same time, these years have also been the years with the most frequent cultural exchanges between China and France... So when Café de Flore held the book signing, they put the Chinese and French flags behind Liu Jin.

The background color in the photo appears slightly dark.

The red flag of China flutters, its crimson color like blood.

Liu Jin's shoulder was stained with blood, and there were still a few drops of blood on his face.

He raised his head, revealing an arrogant expression.

Chloe was in his arms, pinned down by him, as if he were protecting her, while one arm was raised high, like a god of war.

(Refer to photos from the Apu shooting incident)

Never give in!

This is the headline of Le Figaro.

Liu Jin's gaze was exceptionally sharp (actually, he was a little dazed, hence his somewhat blank expression).

But one thing must be admitted: the paparazzi who took this photo had a style reminiscent of AFP.

This significantly elevated Liu Jin's image.

His actions in protecting Chloe have been praised by many.

That evening, during an interview on France 2, the guests offered various interpretations of the photograph.

This led to a surge of readers flocking to bookstores the following day to buy Liu Jin's works.

Meanwhile, the photos spread like wildfire to all parts of the world.

Germany!

U.K!

Italy!
Spain!
America...

As this photo circulated, countless people remembered this tall, strong, indomitable, and dashing gentleman.

Liu Jin's instinctive action to protect Chloe at that moment made him a knight in the hearts of countless girls!

Meanwhile, Paris police swiftly arrested the Tunisian gang located near Place d'Italie.

Ali, the leader of the Tunisian gang, confessed that two Asian men did indeed approach them and offered them 100,000 euros to assassinate Amos.

Asians all look the same, so I can't tell where they're from.

But they are definitely not Chinese... We often come into contact with Chinese people in District 13, and their accents are different from those two.

It's odd and a bit stiff.

Farne, editor-in-chief of Liberation, wrote an article in the newspaper that day.

Who wants to kill Amos?

He provided many answers and allowed citizens to choose.

And the two who received the most votes were still Xiao Rizi and Bangzi!
