I am a literary giant in Europe

Chapter 749 Response (35) Requesting monthly votes!!!

Before coming to Salerno, Jerome did some research on Sunstone Bay.

Being a bodyguard means you have to be serious.

He had looked into Liu Jin's resume and it seemed he didn't have any enemies.

If he hires a bodyguard, it's most likely because he's rich and worried about being targeted.

This is quite normal in Europe.

After all, Liu Jin had no background or connections; he was just rich, and also Chinese...

Key point: Chinese!

In Europe, Chinese people have always been the targets of bullying.

Of course, their boss is an extremely strong-willed Chinese man.

This is quite different from the image of Chinese people that Jerome has in mind.

He wouldn't bow down to Europeans and Americans; even when he was wrong, he could always find some reason to justify his actions and fight to the end.

pretty good!
I'm most afraid of those cowardly types.

When you meet a foreigner, regardless of whether they are black or white, kneel down first.

And there are actually quite a lot of people like that.

It includes not only long-term immigrants living overseas, but also new immigrants from within the country.

In fact, after generations of struggle, most of the older generation of immigrants have come to understand this principle and have become more assertive.

But new immigrants...

"Doctor, let's think about the worst-case scenario. There's a high probability that we're being targeted."

"Oh?"

"On the bright side, maybe they were just passing by... or maybe there was a malfunction."

But… I did some research before coming here. Campania, Sicily, and Sardinia are the most common landing points for illegal immigrants. After all, these three places are very close to Algiers and Tunisia.

There's no need to worry too much about the illegal immigrants in Sardinia; they're just looking for a place to stay.

The migrants in Sicily are mainly concentrated in Marsala and Mazara del Vallo. Firstly, it's close to Tunisia; secondly, the beaches there are gentle and easy to land on… and thirdly, there's a mafia presence in the area, so most of the smuggling is organized. They simply want to land in Sicily, then travel to Europe to make a living.

But the illegal immigrants in the Campania region…

"How to say?"

"They are basically all desperados."

"Elaborate!"

There are generally two types of people who log in here.

One type is gunmen hired by Neapolitan Mafia families.

For example, the Camorra family, the Luso family... these families have huge businesses and many conflicts. The Luso family, for instance, based in Nora, controlled criminal activities in more than forty towns in the Naples area, with more than five thousand members... their leader, Salvador, has been wanted by Europe since 95.

The Camorra family is another example; they are the oldest criminal organization in Naples.

Furthermore, within the family, there are two main factions: the Contini family, which commits crimes by controlling hospitals and public institutions; and the Zagaria family, also known as the Casalesi family, which uses secret bunkers as their base to engage in drug trafficking and arms dealing...

Their leader, Mikaele Zagaria, was also a wanted fugitive by Interpol.

Liu Jin listened with great interest.

Leslie Cheung also came over, expressing his interest.

These things will no longer be a secret in the future, with the development of the internet.

However, it remained unknown to the public in 08/09.

When people mention the Mafia, they usually think of the five major families of New York.

But the truly impressive team is Italy.

Jerome said with a wry smile, "These families have private armed forces in Tunisia and Algiers. They are not usually in Italy. Once a conflict occurs, they will mobilize gunmen from those places, and after the mission is completed, they will take the money and leave."

Italian police are also at a loss.

Liu Jin thought for a moment and said, "I don't think I've ever messed with the Mafia."

"So if it wasn't a Mafia gunman, then it could be a refugee from the other side of the strait, or a terrorist."

"what?"

“Those guys will land here, leave quickly, and head into Europe via Italy.”

"so……"

"So, if the people on that speedboat are the second type, they'll be in big trouble."

Because the first type of gunmen, due to the control of the mafia families, generally don't act recklessly; but if they are terrorists or thugs, they have no such constraints. Murder, arson, and robbery are all easy for them.

"You suspect I'm being targeted by terrorists?"

"Well, it's possible."

Liu Jin felt a chill run down his spine!
This is a work by a literary master, what are you trying to do?

So being too flashy is not good; we should be more careful in the future.

"What should I do?"

Leslie was a little nervous.

"Let's run!"

Upon hearing this, Jerome couldn't help but laugh.

"It's not that scary... Look, this beach is forty meters deep, and the only way to get up here is through stone steps."

The rocky cliffs here are five meters high and slippery, making it impossible to climb up without using your bare hands.

"As long as we are prepared, this forty-meter stretch of beach is a graveyard... With our firepower, they can't get through."

Liu Jin pursed his lips, "But I still think it's best to leave if we can."

"But boss, you'll be working here eventually, won't you? You'll come back eventually."

Unless you maintain a security team here year-round, you'll definitely become a target for some people.

"Cripple them all in one go, and no one will bother us again! As for the real terrorists, I don't think we need to worry about them. What I fear most are those refugees disguised as terrorists; those guys are capable of anything."

"Of course, everything is up to the doctor to decide."

Près de la cour, près de l'enfer.

I can understand the doctor's choice. But there's a French proverb: "Tant va la crucheà l'eau qu'à la fin elle se casse," have you heard of it?

"I know that water jugs will break sooner or later when used to carry water!"

Liu Jin nodded.

Jerome's first sentence, which is also a French proverb, literally means "close to the court, close to hell"... Well, if you translate it into Chinese, it has the meaning of "a wise man does not stand under a dangerous wall."

As for the second sentence...

You can interpret this as: you can dodge the first day of the month, but you can't dodge the fifteenth!

Unless Liu Jin sells his house here, quits his job here, and slinks back to Gryzan in disgrace.

Otherwise, you'll be targeted sooner or later.

Moreover, it's uncertain whether the other party is indeed a criminal.

Running away like that, so pathetic, is really embarrassing...

"Jerome, get surveillance in place as soon as possible. Send those guns over there, just in case."

"it is good!"

Leslie suddenly spoke up, "Not running anymore?"

"Let's find out what's going on first." "Who should I contact?"

Liu Jin scratched his head and took out his phone.

However, he didn't call Mara, but instead dialed Meloni's number.

The fact that Meloni was able to get him a special gun license from the National Security Council suggests that she has connections with certain agencies.

From this perspective, Meloni's network of connections is indeed stronger than Mara's.

After all, a woman who has been involved in politics since her teens and joined a right-wing group before she was an adult has a much stronger network of connections than Mara, a political novice.

Meloni has just returned from Belgium.

Mara is back too!

After listening to Liu Jin's words, Meloni thought for a moment and said on the phone, "Amos, I'll ask around and see if there's any relevant information."

However, I suggest you also have Mara and the Salerno police communicate with them.

Mara is, after all, a regional councilor for Campania. If she speaks out to warn them, the Salerno police will definitely increase their attention… You know, it's almost New Year's. Even if I asked around, it would take time. But Mara is different; one phone call from her can get the Salerno police to increase patrols. After all, as a councilor, she has that kind of power.”

The local official is more powerful than the distant one!
After understanding Meloni's meaning and expressing his gratitude, Liu Jin dialed Mara's number again.

"Those cops..."

Mara thought for a moment and said, "Amos, I suggest you donate some money to the Salerno police."

Two hundred thousand from the Municipal Public Security Bureau, one hundred thousand from the Taiyangshiwan Police Station will suffice... Then I will give them a heads-up, so that they can be as attentive as possible.”

As expected of a capitalist country, everything is about money.

Liu Jin recalled that he hadn't actually donated any money since moving to Taiyang Shiwan.

This is different from his situation in Toulouse and Gruçon, where he donated money and the police would appear every two hours.

It is true that money makes the world go round!
Liu Jin said, "I will donate to the police station tomorrow. Please let them know as well."

"I will contact Mayor Salerno after I hang up the phone."

……

That's a relief!
Liu Jin now hopes that the ship was really just passing by.

December 31st, the last day of 2008.

Liu Jin got up very early and ran to the dock.

"Dimarco? You're back!"

The gun shop was actually open for business.

Liu Jin walked into the gun shop and looked at Dimarco behind the counter with some surprise.

Dimarco's expression turned somewhat unpleasant upon seeing Liu Jin...

"What's wrong with you? You look so pale."

"Amos, I'm sorry!"

"what?"

"I've been set up."

"What do you mean?"

"I'm going to Naples for Christmas, just for fun."

As a result, Luca from the Contini family set me up, and I couldn't resist participating in Pozzoli's race, where I lost your California! But don't worry, I've already had a new car ordered and it will be delivered soon.

Dimarco looked a little uncomfortable.

Liu Jin couldn't help but laugh.

"I thought it was something serious. You, the second young master of the Malka family, do you think I would worry about you refusing to drive my car?"

Tell me quickly, how did you fall for their trap?

"It's all that bitch Charlotte's fault..."

"Wait a minute, who is Charlotte?"

Dimarco finally realized what was happening and, enraged, yelled, "Amos, you heartless bastard, can't you have a shred of compassion?"

He roared and gestured wildly with his hands.

"I'm already feeling terrible, and you're still laughing at me?"
The Marco family is rich, but it's not like I, Di Marco, am rich.

That car costs 400,000 euros, right? That's more than my monthly allowance! Marde, just you wait, I'll win it back. If it weren't for that Contini kid's dirty tricks, with my familiarity with the Pozzoli circuit, how could I possibly have lost?"

Pozzoli Circuit?
never heard of that……

But Liu Jin knew that Pozzoli was a city under the jurisdiction of Naples.

"Alright, stop thinking about these upsetting things. Be happy."

At least a month, and hundreds of thousands in pocket money. By the way, do me a favor, find out if any strangers have appeared at the docks recently.

"what happened?"

"I suspect I might be being watched!"

Dimarco's face darkened.

"Who dares to cause trouble in Salerno? Don't worry, I'll have someone investigate right away, and we'll have news soon."

"Then it's up to you!"

Liu Jin didn't linger in the gun shop for long either.

With pressure from Mara's side and the investigation by the Marco family, it shouldn't be difficult to find out if there really are any terrorists involved.

After all, Salerno is only so big.

Aside from the university area where there's a lot of foot traffic, the docks and the old town are just a few places with very few people!
However, Dimarco is also in a pretty bad situation.

He went to Naples to show off, but got ripped off.

He genuinely didn't care about this.

The Marco family may not be considered extremely wealthy, but they control resources such as the port of Salerno and hospitals, as well as three factories and more than two thousand employees... Unless Dimarco is a scoundrel, Liu Jin is not worried about the car.

I checked the yacht, and there were no problems.

The security at the docks is also a business owned by the Marco family, so no one would bother them.

Liu Jin then drove to the Sunstone Bay Police Station, took out a check for 100,000 euros, and made the chief of the Sunstone Bay Police Station beam with joy.

He then assured that maritime patrols would be increased.

Liu Jin wasn't worried about him taking the money and not doing the job. Once Mara's side exerted their influence, they would naturally do their best.

After a busy morning, I finally got everything done.

Liu Jin then drove home, but when he drove into the villa, he saw a Maserati sports car parked at the garage entrance.

"Leslie, are we having guests?"

Jerome wasn't home, but Leslie Cheung was.

Liu Jin walked into the villa's living room and saw Leslie Cheung sitting on the sofa, playing with a little girl.

The girl was only three or four years old. When she saw Liu Jin, she immediately got off the sofa, scurried over on her short legs, and saved Liu Jin's leg.

"Deva?"

Liu Jin recognized the little girl.

He looked up and saw Monica Bellucci walking out of the kitchen wearing an apron.

"You're back just in time! Dinner's ready!"
