I am a literary giant in Europe

Chapter 653 It's never-ending!

On March 3, Diddy hosted a party at his mansion in Old Brookville, Long Island.

OldBrookville, located on the North Shore of Long Island, is a classic old-money affluent neighborhood.

Many financial figures and top celebrities, including George Belfort (the Wolf of Wall Street) and Jennifer Lopez, reside here.

"During the party, two luxury cars in Diddy's garage suddenly exploded."

New York Police Department detectives are sitting in a conference room.

The detective pointed to the explosion image on the screen and shouted, "Although there were no casualties, there was widespread panic."

Residents of the area protested to Diddy, demanding that he leave.

The slides then change.

On the same day, Kanye West was attacked by motorcycle gunmen on his way to Brooklyn.

The gunman fired two shots, and Kanye, who was driving, crashed into the highway guardrail but was unharmed.

The gunman quickly fled after firing the shots, exiting the highway at Exit B9 of the Brooklyn Bridge and driving into downtown Brooklyn.

The motorcycle was later burned and discovered by officers from the 69th Precinct, but no clues were found.

"On March 8th, Jay-Z and Beyoncé were shopping at the Chanel boutique on Fifth Avenue when they were attacked as they left. The attacker was a Black teenager from the Bronx who threw a plastic bag containing feces at Jay-Z and Beyoncé. Jay-Z dodged in time, but the bag hit Beyoncé..."

"On March 12, Kanye was attacked again."

This time it was a sniper who, while Kanye was having a meal, smashed a wine bottle on the table from a rooftop 1,400 meters away.

Kanye was having dinner with his fiancée, the famous designer Alexis Pfeiffer, at the time.

Ms. Pfeiffer was unharmed, but shards of glass cut Kanye's face… The following day, Kanye accompanied Ms. Donna West from New York to Boston for medical treatment. It is said that Kanye took Ms. West to Mount Sinai Hospital last month for examinations, where they discovered a heart problem, which is why they went to Boston.

"Damn it, he was scared away!"

"One of the agents in the conference room spoke loudly."

The detective, who was speaking, glanced at him but ignored him, explaining instead, "Ms. Donna has been diagnosed with stress-induced heart failure, which has been confirmed by Mount Sinai Hospital. Whether he was scared away or not, that's the fact."

After he finished speaking, he changed the photo again.

"This is a request for assistance from the Los Angeles Police Department."

On March 1, Mr. Will Smith's brakes suddenly failed while he was on his way to the film set.

No one was injured, but he was shaken. His estate had previously been set on fire… and on March 6th, Mr. Will Smith discovered on the set of *Certified Intrusion* that a prop gun had been replaced with a real one by someone.

Fortunately, the prop master discovered the situation in time; otherwise, once filming began, it could very well have recreated the circumstances surrounding Brandon Lee's case.

Brandon Lee, son of Bruce Lee.

He was shot while photographing crows.

Director Johnson tapped the table. "William, tell me your judgment."

Detective William nodded. "Since Kanye and Jay-Z were attacked on February 19th, Kanye, Jay-Z, Diddy, and Mr. Will, who is in Los Angeles, have been the main targets of attacks. From February 19th to now, the four have been attacked a total of 17 times. The perpetrators include snipers, motorcyclists, gang members, and about thirty people."

They weren't a group; aside from the sniper and the motorcyclist, it seemed more like a crime of passion, and they didn't actually intend to kill.

"I don't want to kill anyone, but a sniper has already appeared..."

"It was the presence of snipers and motorcycle gunners that led me to conclude that the other side did not intend to kill them."

Otherwise, Kanye and Jay-Z would have been dead during their first attack.

I believe this series of attacks is more likely a form of intimidation and harassment.

"Intimidation, harassment?"

"Or rather, it's revenge."

"revenge?"

Inspector William looked at one of the agents. "Marco, you speak."

The detective named Marco stood up and handed a document to the chief.

"On February 12, a car accident occurred at Madame Tussauds."

A Ford Mustang Cobra owned by Mr. Amos LiuJin was borrowed by his agent and lawyer in France, and was involved in an accident while driving. Ms. Chloe was not injured, but was frightened.

Amos's agent, Miss Mela, is injured.

The perpetrator has not been found. The vehicle involved in the accident was found on February 16 by officers from the 16th Precinct in an underpass under the Hudson River Bridge. It had been burned and no information was available.

Officer Wilson of the 11th Precinct, who was in charge of the case at the time, met Mr. Amos at the hospital.

According to Officer Wilson's report: "Mr. Amos had received advance warning, and Diddy was going to teach him a lesson..."

"So, it's Amos's revenge?"

The bureau chief asked, "Where is he now?"

"Mr. Amos returned to Paris on February 17 with his agent and lawyer."

It seems like they're filming a movie, "Love Before..."?

"Love at sunset, he and his girlfriend Eva Green collaborated again."

Furthermore, the director is Sophie Marceau. I checked the information about this film; it was already in development last June, not something that started filming at the last minute.

"Of course not, haha, I've waited five years, and filming for the second movie has finally started."

One female agent said, "Their first movie, 'Before Sunrise,' was really great, especially that kiss when they parted, it was so romantic! They agreed to meet again in six months, but we ended up waiting for five years."

"Yes, yes, last year during my vacation, my boyfriend and I even went to Vienna and kissed on that bridge."

"hohohoho!"

A commotion erupted in the meeting room.

Back then, "Before Sunrise" grossed $90 million in America and $170 million worldwide.

For a film with an investment of only five million, this is definitely a huge profit.

Later, many people bought the "Before" trilogy specifically because of this movie and regarded it as a bible of love.

Chief Johnson hasn't seen the movie.

But his daughter is a loyal fan.

Not only a fan of this movie, but also a fan of Liu Jin.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Johnson coughed a few times, tapped the table, and said, "Let's get down to business."

"So, this has nothing to do with Amos?"

Inspector William shook his head and said, "I'm certain that the mastermind behind this is Amos Liu Jin."

"Why? Didn't he leave New York a long time ago?"

"First of all, according to Officer Wilson's report, Mr. Amos must know who attacked his agent."

But he didn't say, which indicates that he would handle it himself. Secondly, Amos has a very good relationship with his agent and lawyer.

I contacted the Toulouse police, and according to the information they provided, his agent, Ms. Chloé, was the first friend he made after arriving in France.

A photo of Chloe appeared on the screen behind her.

"Ms. Chloe is a member of the French Magnon family. While many may not be familiar with the Magnon family, they may have heard of the Magnon law firm, which is her family's business. Her father, Mr. Alexandre Magnon, is the president of the Paris Bar Association's council and is preparing to run in the French parliamentary elections this April..."

Her mother, Louise Magnon, was a prominent French lawyer and an advisor to the European Commission's legal advisory group.

"Olalala!"

A gasp of surprise rang out in the conference room.

William changed the photo, and Mela's picture appeared on the screen.

"Mera Singella, Chairperson of Singella Publishing House in Toulouse, and a member of the Singella family."

Many of you may have heard of Thunder Bourbon, which is the Singer family's investment in America... She was Amos's benefactor and partner. Amos's debut novel, *Amélie*, was published by Mela.

Afterwards, Meera actively lobbied for him, contacting Random House, which led to the creation of the Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy.

"Everyone says Amos is a playboy, and he truly lives up to the reputation."

Even his agent and lawyer… this guy must be having an affair with them.”

"That's not there."

Inspector William chuckled, "According to our investigation, Chloe and Mela are actually a couple."

"Roar!"

"To be honest, I've seen the movie 'Amélie,' but I haven't read the book."

The movie was really well made.

"The book is better, and I've heard there's a story behind its creation."

The story of Liu Jin and Emily, the bakery girl, was once a hot topic in France.

However, not many people in America know about it.

Chief Johnson realized that the case discussion was turning into a gossip session, so he quickly tapped the table again.

"Let's talk about the case, let's talk about the case!"

He glared fiercely at William.

Inspector William gave an awkward laugh and quickly changed the slides.

"Everyone, put your gossipy minds to rest for a moment."

Please note that we are now facing a billionaire with a net worth of over one billion dollars.

I received a message through some channels: someone placed a hidden bet on the deep web, a hidden bet of 50 million US dollars.

For the next year, there will be continued intimidation, attacks, and harassment against Diddy, Jay-Z, Kanye West, and Mr. Will. And the undercover operation specifically states: "No deaths are allowed..."

"Was it a hidden signal from Amos?"

"No, the person who posted the hidden flower is of a very high level, and no one knows who it is."

However, the reward money was deposited into a designated UBS account on February 19th. As you all know, UBS is extremely protective of its client information. And in my estimation, even if we obtained the information, it's likely an empty account.

Furthermore, this under-the-table payment is irreversible.

This will continue until December 31st, after which the funds will be transferred to the accounts of the respective executors.

Director Johnson looked up and said in a deep voice, "So, we can't be sure that this bounty came from Amos?"

"I contacted a friend at the FBI's New York office, and after investigation, it was found that Mr. Amos's accounts in America have been very active recently, but all of them are for film investments... I am Legend, Night at the Museum, Changeling, and other projects, and all the funds have been transferred to dedicated accounts for these projects, with no unusual expenditures."

"Is 'Night at the Museum' about to start filming?"

A female agent couldn't help but ask.

Inspector William glanced at Chief Johnson and lowered his voice, saying, "If there are no unforeseen circumstances, filming should begin in the second half of the year."

"Ha, I've finally waited for this! I absolutely love that book!"

Director Johnson tapped on the table.

"So, we have no evidence to prove that the recent series of attacks are related to Amos, is that right?"

"no!"

"And Amos is in France... William, contact the FBI and hand this case over."

"what?"

"A fifty million irrevocable bounty, this Chinese guy is really crazy."

Will Jay-Z retaliate?

"If he retaliates, then Amos's counterattack will be even more ferocious."

That guy doesn't have Amos's cash flow... William, keep a close eye on Diddy, and stop him if he makes a move.

I don't want New York to become that Chinese man's battlefield for revenge!

Before Director Johnson could finish speaking, the phone rang in the conference room.

William quickly apologized and answered the phone.

Director Johnson saw William's face darken instantly.

A moment later, he hung up the phone.

Looking at Director Johnson, he said with a wry smile, "Diddy was in a car accident on his way to the ribbon-cutting ceremony for Sean John's new store."

"what?"

Director Johnson slapped his forehead.

Diddy has probably messed with the wrong person this time!

"Let the FBI talk to Amos. This matter is beyond the NYPD's capabilities."

After all, the hidden money was kept in overseas accounts.

He's not in New York either.

And there's also Will, who lives in Los Angeles...

This case involves many aspects and has indeed exceeded the jurisdiction of the New York Police Department.

Most importantly, this is a hot potato.

Chief Justice Johnson had met Liu Jin at a party hosted by Supreme Court Justice O'Connor, meaning he had already established connections with New York and, more specifically, with America's legal community. His personal lawyer, Bennett, was an even more formidable figure.
