Chapter 604 Scandal Resurfaces

Chapter 604 Scandal Resurfaces (Seeking monthly votes and subscriptions!!!)

The riots at the Frankfurt Bank Arena on June 613th cast a shadow over this World Cup.

Germany was furious and sent people to investigate.

That evening, the disciplinary committee released its investigation results: South Korean player Lee Chun-soo provoked Togolese fans, which was the trigger for the riot.

The riot was sparked when Togolese players retaliated against members of the South Korean coaching staff.

South Korean player Lee Chun-soo has been suspended for an additional three games.

South Korean player Ahn Jung-hwan has been suspended for three additional games for participating in a brawl and assaulting members of the Togolese coaching staff.

South Korean player Lee Eul-yong has been suspended for an additional game.

For Togo, player Kader has been given an additional one-match suspension.

In addition, the Togolese player who provoked the South Korean coaching staff was given an additional two-match suspension.

The Togolese coaching staff failed to control the behavior of the Togolese players, and the head coach has been suspended for an additional match.

……

At a press conference, German organizing committee chairman Franz Beckenbauer stated that there would be no tolerance for violence in the stadium and acts of blatant provocation against fans.

Liu Jin watched the press conference at the hotel and laughed so hard he almost fell over.

In the original timeline, the Korean team won this match 2-1.

Now, the score is 1-2.
Ahn Jung-hwan failed to score the winning goal. Instead, just as the game was about to end, Togo's newly substituted player, number 13, Fulsen, scored the winning goal, defeating the South Korean team.

Furthermore, a brawl broke out between fans of both sides outside the stadium after the match ended.

The incident resulted in 17 injuries to South Korean fans, two of whom were seriously injured; and 11 injuries to Togolese fans, one of whom was seriously injured.

Frankfurt police arrested 137 people in connection with the fan brawl.

In their next match, the Korean team will face the French team.

A South Korean journalist expressed a strong sense of crisis...

"Amos, is this related to you?"

That evening, Heidi called.

Although there is no evidence to suggest that Liu Jin was involved in the incident, and Liu Jin had already left the stadium before the conflict between the two sides.

But Heidi still had a hunch that it was related to Liu Jin.

"How can it be!"

Liu Jin protested on the phone, "I admit I don't like Cleveland, but do you think I have the ability to provoke such a big conflict? Besides, those guys who fought with me are either in the hospital or in detention. You know me; I believe in the fairness of German law more than anything else."

This woman has such a strong intuition!

Liu Jin muttered to himself.

Heidi also thought it was unlikely, but...

What a coincidence!
This guy was watching the game in Frankfurt, and of all times, the Koreans started raging.
I used to think that Koreans were alright!

Although their football is shameless, but...

Heidi decided to believe Liu Jin for the time being.

But instinctively, she still had some doubts.

What are your plans for the future?

"later?"

Liu Jin thought for a moment and said, "I'm leaving for Nuremberg tomorrow. I've made plans with J.K. Rowling to watch the England vs. Trinidad and Tobago match on the 16th."

Then I went to Leipzig to watch the French team play.

"You seem to be quite busy."

"Yes, and I also have to write a book, so I'm really busy."

"Wait a minute, the Leipzig-France match? You mean the France vs. South Korea match on the 19th?"

"right!

I've lived in France for almost six years, so I should at least go and support the French team.

"But there's the Korean national team..."

"What does the Korean national team have to do with me? I mainly want to take this opportunity to meet some people from Random House."

Random House President Nancy Miller and my editor-in-chief, Ms. Senchoro, want to see me; it's a good opportunity for us all to get together over there.

"Really?"

"I promise!"

Heidi felt something was off.

But it seemed so natural, and she really couldn't think of any other reason.

"By the way, aren't you going to watch Italy's match?"

What's so interesting about Italy's matches? Defense, defense, and more defense...

Liu Jin only wants to watch one match of this World Cup: Italy vs. France!

He wanted to figure out what Materazzi had said that caused Zidane to lose control and ultimately retire in disgrace.

That was a famous scene!

"Monica has come to Germany."

"what?"

"What have you been busy with these past few days?"

"Don't you know what I'm busy with?"

"Pah... I mean, don't you read the newspaper?"

"I saw it. Simon & Schuster Publishing Company terminated its contract with Indra Sinha."

"Monica and Vincent Cassel had a fight. She came to Germany with Sophie Marceau and her daughter."

I guess he wants to relax.

"quarrel?"

"Yes... never mind, you should just read the newspaper yourself."

Heidi was quite busy, so she promptly hung up the phone.

Liu Jin scratched his head, called the front desk, and asked the guest room to send today's newspaper.

He hasn't really read the newspaper much these past two days.

……

Things are like this.

On June 3, Liu Jin sent Monica back to Italy.

Just two days later, news broke in Italy that Monica and Liu Jin had spent five days and five nights at sea together!
It's a ball flower, after all!

She was, after all, the dream girl of countless older Italian men.

It was just picked by a Chinese person like that?

If you say the Americans picked them, the old men won't say anything.

It's fine if the French take it... after all, Monica's husband, Vincent Cassel, is French.

But it was the Chinese...

The older men felt a sense of injustice and resentment, as if they had been cuckolded.

And in fact?
Italy is a country with extremely serious racial discrimination, especially against Chinese people.

Of course, Black people aren't much better either.

It will get even worse in the future.

It's a little better now, but not by much.

Some of the European countries with the most severe discrimination against Chinese people: Sweden, Italy, Spain, the Netherlands, France, Belgium...

Well, almost all of them discriminate.

The same applies to Spain; in the future, Spanish banks will frequently lock and freeze accounts belonging to Chinese people.

Even by 2025, the problem was not truly solved.

The same goes for Italy!
The older men were very unhappy that a Chinese man had picked their own bouncy ball.

So they started spreading all sorts of rumors and smears in the newspapers, making the scandal between Liu Jin and Monica known throughout the country.

Theoretically speaking, Europeans don't care much about this.

People in the cultural and film industries, in particular, don't take this kind of thing seriously.

The problem is that Vincent Cassel is considered a top-notch director, screenwriter, and producer in France... The whole street is talking about his wife and a Chinese man, which makes Vincent Cassel very unhappy.

After all, they have a daughter!
What happened next caused Vincent to explode.

Sophie Marceau brought the first draft of the script for "Don't Look Back" to Italy.

Vincent was a little annoyed when he heard that the script was adapted from Liu Jin's idea.

So, you and that Chinese man spent five days and five nights alone at sea. Is this his way of repaying you?
Vincent Cassel stated that he did not want Monica to accept the script.

He also said that if Monica wanted to act, he could try to help her get in touch with actors.

Why didn't you mention this before?
Monica was also very dissatisfied with Vincent's attitude.

This story, in particular, is very interesting.

It would be very appealing if she could collaborate with Sophie Marceau in this story.

The script is also very well done.

The director is François Ozon, one of France's top directors.

Monica was reluctant to give up this opportunity.

As a result, she and Vincent Cassel had a heated argument.

After the argument ended, she and Sophie Marceau, along with their daughter Diva Cassel, ran away from home and went straight to watch the World Cup.

This is also normal!
The problem is that Liu Jin happens to be in Germany as well.

And he and Heidi are currently very much in love.

See, that's the punchline!
What about two women searching for a husband, or three beauties vying for attention...?

Some tabloids have made irresponsible speculations, saying that Daiwa is Liu Jin and Monica's daughter.

Which eye of yours thinks she is Liu Jin's daughter?

Are purely Europeans good-looking?

Chinese genes are still very strong; if someone is truly of mixed race, you'll definitely be able to tell the difference.

However, Monica did not respond.

She's right not to respond. The more you try to cover it up, the worse it gets. It's better to stay silent and wait for things to calm down.

Monica and Sophie are both seasoned media veterans and know very well that the best way to handle this kind of situation is to let it go.

However, Vincent Cassel became even angrier after the two of them arrived in Germany.

During media interviews, he made a lot of vague statements, which only excited the media even more.

……

"Ozon, where is he?"

After Liu Jin finished reading the newspaper, he realized it was already midnight.

He thought about it and decided to make the call anyway.

It's a bit noisy over there with François Ozon; it sounds like he's in a bar.

Today, after the match between South Korea and Togo, it's time for the match between France and Switzerland.

The match should be over by now...

"I?"

Ozon shouted, "I'm in Stuttgart... Damn it, did you watch the game? 0-0, we actually tied with Switzerland."

"I'm in Frankfurt."

What are you doing in Frankfurt?

"Didn't you see the news? There's been a huge brawl here. Players from both teams are fighting, and fans are fighting too. The game was suspended for more than ten minutes."

"Um, I watched it... but I still think you should come and watch the French team play."

Wait, are you up to something?

"What? I did this?!"

"A fight...that's impossible."

"Hahaha, you're really clever, it was me who did it."

"Stop bragging!"

Ozon laughed heartily on the phone.

That's how people are!
You guessed right, and I even admitted it, but you hesitated again.

However, Liu Jin was just joking.

"François, I need your help urgently. Could you go to Kaiserslautern?"

"what?"

"Next match, Kaiserslautern, Italy vs. America... Sophie and Monica are both there."
