A healing writer? No, it's a depressing writer!

Chapter 227: When the city gate is on fire, the innocent people are affected! The publisher was stabbed. What does it have to do with me, Jiang Hai?

Logically speaking, there should be a mutually dependent relationship between readers and authors.

The story written by the author is appreciated by readers, perhaps because of recognition of the author's talent or curiosity about the next plot.
Readers began to urge the author to update.

And out of trust and reward for readers.

The author should also do his best to write higher quality stories or plots to reward the readers.

This should be a good positive cycle.

The relationship between authors and readers should be one of mutual progress and mutual respect.

On the other hand, the author whose pen name is [Yanyu Ru Jiangnan]
First of all, this author is not a human being and does not consider how the readers feel. In short.
Get the surgery!

I'll just have the surgery and it'll be over!

Readers are already trying their best to control their emotions and give the author suggestions while he is writing:

"I'm begging you."

"Please, don't write this character to death"

But it seems as if it fell on deaf ears.

The author just waved his hand and took this character offline:

"This day next year will be the anniversary of its death!"

Although the reader has tried his best to communicate with the author:
"Please, don't keep writing stories about people being stabbed. I really can't accept the stories in the books."

"Whenever I think back to their tragic deaths late at night, I almost become depressed."

But the author seemed to be completely deaf to the criticism and acted extremely cruelly:

"Fight fire with fire!"

"Since you're already in such a bad mood, I'll help add fuel to the fire!"

"Let me show you something good. I promise you that today's part of the story is more exciting than yesterday's."

The reader sat at the desk, covering his face with his hands and crying.

The author, however, was hiding in some unknown dark place, chuckling:

"This one has to die."

"This one must die too."

"I don't care, they all have to die anyway."

It was precisely because of the author's inhumane behavior that a direct conflict arose between the two factions.

This leads to other readers comforting the author:
"Author, come on~"

"I will always be your most authentic fan~"

This unknown author, Misty Rain in the South of the Yangtze River, directly fell into an irreconcilable conflict with the readers, and also began to be fiercely criticized by the readers:
"Jiangnan old thief!"

"If I catch you, I'll stab you to death!"

After receiving the report, the police responded very quickly. It only took fifteen minutes from the time the operator hung up the phone to the time they arrived at the Youth Preface magazine office.

However, these fifteen minutes are enough to make angry readers do many things.

When Police Officer Zhang Honglang, who was in charge of handling this fight case, arrived at the scene.

In an instant, he was shocked by the scene before him:
"What kind of hatred or grudge is this?"

In his 20-year career, Zhang Honglang had never seen such a crazy scene. Wherever he could see,

All were destroyed completely.

The windows were smashed to pieces.

The originally flawless walls were splashed with all kinds of indescribable and extremely smelly liquids.

Magazine's LCD screen, office computer, printer, water dispenser, conference room's LED display.
All scrapped.

What is even more exaggerated is that these impulsive young people...
Even the toilet bowl was not spared?
Even the lid of the toilet was forcibly removed by these young people, and a line of bright and large words were written on it with a marker:
"Jiang Hai, you old dog, you beast, Bi Yang's late intention."

Even though Officer Zhang Honglang, who had been a criminal police officer for more than 20 years, was shocked when he witnessed this scene:
"What's going on?"

Trying to figure out what the hell is going on here.

Officer Zhang Honglang immediately called a staff member of the magazine to inquire about the situation. After the statement was taken, he looked up at the publishing editor in front of him with an expression of disbelief:
"So, what do you mean"

"Is this a bloody conflict that has evolved from a novel?"

That was when Officer Zhang Honglang was conducting routine questioning.

The police officer handling the case, holding a transcript in his hand, gave him a routine report:

"According to the on-site casualties, one person was seriously injured, 15 were slightly injured, there were many armed criminals, and a lot of property was destroyed. The specific amount of money involved is being calculated in the interrogation room."

What kind of book could actually trigger a gang fight involving hundreds of people?
What kind of author is it that can be so popular among such loyal readers?
Holding such a grudge?

Other readers expressed their love for their favorite authors in a gentle and sincere voice:
"Dear author, please take care of yourself and don't forget to take care of your life besides writing."

The only exception is this mysterious dragon that can only be seen from the beginning but not the end [Smoke and Rain in Jiangnan]. When readers mention him, their first reaction is:

"I'll stab you to death."

The sharp condemnation on the Internet was not enough, and it even escalated to the point where it became a real offline incident, evolving into the violent and bloody incident we see today?

"So." Officer Zhang tried to sort out his thoughts on the case, "The author of this pen name is Yanyu Rujiangnan."

"Where are the others?"

"Did anyone else arrive at the scene?"

Hearing this, the editor, still in shock, shook his head at Officer Zhang:
"No one in our magazine, except Editor-in-Chief Mo, has ever seen Misty Rain Entering Jiangnan."

Editor-in-Chief Mo?
The only witness?
Zhang Honglang frowned when he heard the news.

Coincidentally, at this moment, when he looked up, the five bright words "Editor-in-Chief's Office" happened to come into his sight.

Zhang Honglang walked towards the editor-in-chief's office.

step.

One more step.

Another step.

Arriving at the door, he reached out and pushed it open.

A painting hanging on the wall, used to inspire me, suddenly appeared before my eyes:
"I also have the potential to become a great general in the world!"

“Under my leadership, Youth Preface will surely move towards glory”

The harsh words I said before were so ambitious and powerful.

How miserable and painful it is now.

Recalling the disabled but strong-willed Editor-in-Chief Mo, who didn't say a word when being beaten up by seven or eight strong young men.

As if she was extremely heartbroken, the female editor could not control her emotions and burst into tears:
"Editor-in-Chief Mo"

"You are so miserable!!!"

While admiring the calligraphy and paintings on the wall, Officer Zhang asked the editor beside him in confusion:
"Where is this Editor-in-Chief Mo now?"

"We may need to find out more about him."

Unexpectedly, when Editor-in-Chief Mo was mentioned, the editor couldn't stop crying:
"Editor-in-Chief Mo, he was the one who was just carried out on a stretcher and was severely injured."

"He may not be able to answer your questions now."

At this moment, he was rushed to an ambulance at a nearby hospital.

Editor-in-Chief Mo was lying on a stretcher, his body wrapped in bandages.

Two lines of hot tears flowed down his cheeks uncontrollably, and his voice became extremely choked:

“Woo, woo, woo, woo.”

Editor-in-Chief Mo was also wronged, even more wronged than Dou E.

Just now.

A group of young people, as if they had lost their minds, rushed into the magazine office and started punching and kicking him. Before he could even figure out what was going on, fists were raining down on him.

These people, while beating him, also shouted at him:
"Say it or not!!!" "Say it or not!!!"

"Old man, are you going to tell me or not?"

Boxing is afraid of young people.

In just a few hits, Editor-in-Chief Mo collapsed to the ground.

While protecting the key parts of his body, he shouted wildly in his heart:

"Just ask!"

"Why the hell you ask!!!"

"You guys don't ask me anything, you just come and beat me to death, what do you want me to say? Why don't you ask me what I want to say?"

Just as Editor-in-Chief Mo wanted to ask:
"What exactly do you want to ask?"

Unexpectedly, before he could finish his words.

A slap directly stopped his speech:

"You still haven't said anything, right?"

Editor-in-Chief Mo curled up on the ground, holding his stomach in pain, and tried hard to defend himself:

"Big, big brother"

“I, I really don’t know what to say.”

Unexpectedly, before he could finish his words, a young man with a flat head immediately shouted to the tall and strong fitness man next to him:

"Boss, this old guy is really stubborn. He won't say anything!"

"I really decided to carry it all on my own"

Hearing this, the fitness man threw the cigarette butt in his hand to the ground:
"Like to be in the spotlight?"

"Like to be a hero?"

"Well, today I will grant your wish!"

"Brothers, don't hold back, beat him to death!"

In a noisy environment.

Until Editor Mo was completely and utterly submerged by the crowd.

In the last moments when he lost consciousness, Editor-in-Chief Mo was still confused as to why these young men had attacked him without any reason.
What exactly are they going to ask?
"In order to protect everyone in our magazine, Editor-in-Chief Mo took all the firepower from the thugs by himself until he was completely overwhelmed by the thugs. Until the end, he did not betray anyone in our magazine, officer."

"Editor-in-Chief Mo, he is definitely a real man"

Find the editors of the magazine and find out the situation.

On the one hand, I was surprised that Editor-in-Chief Mo was an old man in his fifties.
He is so loyal?

How could he be so resistant to attack?

On the other hand, police officer Zhang Honglang was inexplicably interested in the author of "Yanyu Rujiangnan".
It creates unparalleled curiosity!

What kind of person could make so many readers hate him, even to the point of being hated to the core?

What kind of person is it that can make the editor who has always followed him so loyal?
Even if he was beaten unconscious.

Even if he was beaten seriously and unconscious.

He didn't even reveal his real identity?

"What is the origin of this Jiangnan?" Officer Zhang was flipping through the case files in his hand, and his tone was full of doubt. "As the root cause of this riot, so many people were implicated, why was he able to escape unscathed?"

"What kind of personality charm does this person have that can make so many readers and even editors loyal to him?"

That was when Police Officer Zhang Honglang was at a loss for words.

Six o'clock in the afternoon.

A cafe on Nanjing Road, Chenghai City.

Jiang Hai sat in front of a middle-aged man in a suit and tie. While flipping through the publishing contract in his hand, he expressed his opinion to the middle-aged man in front of him:

"President Kim, my original intention was that the realistic book "Hope" would be published simultaneously in Korea and China."

"The sales in Korea will be fully handled by your Hanji Publishing Company. I can make appropriate concessions in terms of royalties, but you must consult my opinion when operating the film and television copyright and audio copyright."

"In other words, the film and television adaptation must go through my hands, and no changes to any plot, characters, or roles in the book may be made without my permission."

The rivers and seas today are no longer the same as they used to be.

At least now he has the qualifications to sit down face to face with the publishing house and discuss his ideas and conditions.

As a leading writer in the country.

Looking at the country, let alone the young generation, Jiang Hai’s achievements are now even greater than those of the older generation of writers.
There are also few people who can match it!
At the very least, given the identity that Jiang Hai has revealed today, every work he publishes is a classic among classics.

From "No Longer Human" to "Xu Sanguan Selling Blood".

From "Liang Zhu" and "Dou E" to the realistic work "The Crucible" which won the Blue Dragon Award in South Korea some time ago.
Which of these works is not a box office hit?

Which work does not deserve to be called a classic among classics?

Kim Jong-shin, the president of Hanji Publishing House in South Korea, was shocked by Jiang Hai's youth, but he suppressed his surprise and said to Jiang Hai:

"Mr. Jiangnan, it is our honor that you choose our Hanji Publishing House."

"We promise you that we will do our best to meet the conditions you put forward to us, especially those related to the film and television adaptation of the work."

In fact, before coming here, President Kim Jong-shin had already sketched out a unique character portrait of Jiang Hai in his mind based on the recent rumors about Jiang Hai in South Korea.

In the hearts of the Korean people, and also in his heart.

He must be a writer who can speak for the people and write a book like The Crucible that dares to expose the dark side of society.
He is concerned about the country and the people, and has a steady and elegant temperament.

It has profound connotations, deep background and is solemn and serious.

Unexpectedly, the moment he saw Jiang Hai for the first time, he immediately began to sigh:
"This, this is too young."

According to visual estimation, Jiang Hai's age is...
At most twenty years old?
Definitely no more than twenty-five!
This young writer has not only made a name for himself in China, but has also become famous in Japan and South Korea.
He was first regarded by the Japanese literary world as the founder of "sorrowful literature"!
Then, he was called "the conscience of the poor" and "the founder of realistic literature" by thousands of readers in the Korean literary world!
After half a year of twists and turns, when everyone thought that a writer with such achievements would be a calm and thoughtful middle-aged man in reality
The situation is reversed!
Jiang Hai, this famous writer, is actually just a young man in his early twenties?
The visual impact was really hard for Kim Jung-shin, who regarded Jiang Hai as his idol, to accept.

"I actually chased after a young man for so long?"

Close the contract in your hand.

Jiang Hai raised his head and looked at Jin Zhengxin in front of him:
"President Jin, I have one last request."

"Neither the publisher nor you personally are allowed to disclose any real information about me to the outside world, including my occupation, the school I attend, my photos and appearance, etc."

"These points must be specifically marked in the contract. This is for my safety. I hope you understand."

There is an old saying that goes -

Become famous as early as possible!

If it were other writers, when they write and publish a book, they would want to tell everyone in the world, for fear that others don’t know that they have become famous.

But only this river and sea
Why be so cautious?

Other writers want to become famous as early as possible, but Jiang Hai is the only one who is afraid of becoming famous?

This was also the time when President Kim Jong-shin didn't understand.

Inside the cafe.

A breaking news case was suddenly reported on TV:

"Our reporter reported that at around 3:00 p.m., a publishing house in the Times Square Building in our city was attacked by a group of unidentified thugs, causing heavy casualties at the scene."

When this news began to be reported.

Jiang Hai's attention was instantly attracted, and his eyes never left the screen from beginning to end.
Seeing Jiang Hai frowning, President Jin Zhengxin smiled at him:

"Mr. Jiang Hai, why are you so nervous?"

"Could this case be related to you?"

Jiang Hai crossed his legs, picked up the coffee on the table and took a sip.

Then he looked calm:

"Of course, it's irrelevant."
