American Scandal King

Chapter 42: Follow-up Interview (Part )

After the gunshots rang out for a while, they finally stopped.

Ian used his perspective to see three gangsters in the corridor reloading their guns.

He walked directly behind the wall and fired two more shots outside the door. A gangster who was standing at the door reloading was knocked down on the spot.

The remaining two gangsters were frightened and hid behind the wall and shouted: "Damn it, Lyle is dead!"

The continuous gunshots also woke up the guests, and most of them hid under the bed and dared not come out.

There were also some idiots who actually opened the door and came out to watch the fun. One of the gangsters pointed at the customer and yelled, "Go back!"

The guest quickly shrank his head.

At this moment, gunshots rang out again, and another gangster was shot in the shoulder. He rolled on the ground and shouted, "I've been shot!"

"Fuck!" The last gangster shot wildly at the door.

After another burst of bullets, the gangster grabbed the gun from his companion, kicked the door, and shouted, "Come out, you bastard!"

Ian frowned.

The opponent didn't change the bullets but directly changed the gun, and this time he didn't fire wildly.

Although he was still standing at the door stupidly, Ian didn't dare to rush over - what if he happened to shoot?

After thinking for a moment, Ian picked up a vase and threw it outside, which just happened to pass through the broken doorway.

The gangster instinctively shot at the vase. Ian used his perspective to see that the other party had changed direction. He rushed out and shot the gangster, hitting another one.

Two gangsters died and the remaining two were injured.

The two gangsters shouted and turned their guns to fight back. Ian retreated in time and the bullets flew past his face again.

Gaskell was terrified, but the old man still held the camera firmly and recorded everything. Ian even made a V-sign to the camera.

What a wonderful scene.

Looking through the lens, seeing that these guys had run out of bullets again, Ian rushed out quickly and shot the fallen gangster, who died without a sound.

The gun was turned towards the last gangster who was injured in the shoulder.

The gangster shouted: "I surrender!"

boom!
He fired.

The gangster was shot in the eyebrow and fell down.

After doing this, Ian looked at the four bodies on the ground. After confirming that they were all dead, he said, "You can come out now. They are all dead."

Gaskell came out tremblingly, holding the camera, and saw four corpses and blood all over the corridor.

Gaskell swallowed hard. "You shouldn't have killed the fourth one. He surrendered."

Legally speaking, it was fine for Ian to kill the first three, but he really shouldn't have shot the fourth.

Ian smiled: "I didn't hear it."

Gaskell said helplessly: "It's all recorded."

“You can edit it,” Ian replied.

Gaskell looked at him speechlessly: "Are you really a reporter?"

Ian smiled: "All-rounder, you know there's a kind of reporter called a war correspondent."

Don't limit your own development. There will be wars in the future, and maybe you can join in the fun.

But the prerequisite is that one's eyes can be further upgraded.

Damn, what kind of pupil technique can allow me to survive on the battlefield? Can I decide the direction of my upgrade?

These unknown issues made Ian feel very sorry.

Gaskell said: "..."

At this time, Lena also plucked up the courage to come out. Looking at the tragic scene in front of her, her eyes went dark and her whole body went limp.

Gaskell was holding the camera, which was difficult to support. Fortunately, Ian hugged her and helped her up. He accidentally touched the plump part of her chest. Ian whispered, "Sorry."

Lian Na didn't care and hugged Ian's neck, saying excitedly: "Thank you so much, you saved us, Ian Karl."

Uh, don't!

Ian felt his body react instinctively: "It's a small matter, go back and change your clothes." Lina suddenly realized, damn, my bathrobe is about to fall off: "Oh, God."

She hurried back to her room to change her clothes.

Ian looked back at Gaskell and apologized, "I didn't mean to."

Gaskell smiled. "Cut that part out, too."

………………

The police arrived twelve minutes later.

At this time, Ian had completed all the photography work, edited the video, and was writing the script on his laptop.

I guess by the time the police have finished their investigation, Ian will have already published the article.

This time, Ian did not choose CBS, but gave it to a news website he had cooperated with.

Internet media has a special advantage, which is that it can be published directly after review, and the speed is the fastest - this time the news will be shared by other peers, so we must be the first to do so.

In order to buy time, Ian asked Gaskell to be questioned by the police first. When it was his turn, Ian hurriedly wrote the manuscript and pressed send directly.

It's a bit hasty and the wording isn't very elegant, but that's okay, let's just hurry it up for now.

We will then make supplementary reports and publish them in tomorrow's pioneer newspaper. This is called complementary advantages!

After doing this, Ian walked out of the room and was questioned. His explanation was nothing more than that he saw the criminals entering the room to rob. Because they were robbing with guns and there were naked women among them, he had no choice but to shoot.

After understanding the situation, the police said, "Okay, we already know what happened. You have a gun license and it is legal to fire a gun. However, I still recommend that you do not leave Auckland for the next two days. We still need to investigate and confirm the subsequent events."

"Understood, officer. I will cooperate." Ian replied with a smile.

Just then, several reporters rushed in from outside.

The body had not been taken away yet, and reporters were taking pictures of the body on the ground.

The policeman shouted angrily: "Get out of here, you damn rats."

Those paparazzi completely ignored the police's urging. It was a death in a gunfight, not a special unsolved case, so the requirements for scene protection were not that high. They were just looking for a violent thrill.

The next moment, Ian took out his laptop, opened the webpage and showed it to the reporters, saying, "It's too late, guys. The news is out."

what?
The paparazzi were looking at their computers at the same time. When they saw the eye-catching headline and video, they all cried out, "Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Why did it happen so fast?"

The key point is that they even have the video of the gunfight?
Then you are still a bastard!
Out of basic professional ethics, they tried their best to take a few more photos and then left. As for how much these photos could be sold for... don't count on it.

News that has been published is worth less than a piece of expired black bread.

After the matter was settled, everyone went back to their rooms to rest, but whether they could fall asleep was hard to say. The brave ones ran away overnight.

Lena didn't want to stay here either. After all, no one liked the bloodstain outside.

Ian said, "I'm sorry I can't leave."

"Why?" Lena looked at Ian with her bright eyes: "Someone just died here, and you still want to live here?"

Ian hesitated for a moment and said, "Actually, I still have some interviews to do."

"Interview?" Lena held her chest in shock.

Ian nodded. "It's the habit of media workers to constantly dig up breaking news. If someone's death attracts public attention, we usually conduct further interviews with those around them, their family, and those who have experienced it, squeezing out all the remaining value... Good news can't just be one piece; there will be many derivative stories."

"Oh my God, this is so shameless!" Lena covered her cute little mouth.

You are not only exposing someone's wounds but also trying to make them more deadly!

Bankers are more experienced.

Gaskell coughed softly. "Lena, this isn't shamelessness; it's dedication and hard work. Every industry has its own principles. As a media professional, his responsibility is to seize every opportunity to obtain as much information as possible. To this end, he even went so far as to film live gunfights... He may be using the suffering of others as a bargaining chip for his own profit, but he's also risking his own life. As a successful businessman, we generally consider this person to be a major figure, someone worthy of trust, investment, and lending!"

Lena suddenly came to her senses.

After all, bankers are also known for "sucking the marrow out of bones"!
Giving out umbrellas on sunny days and taking them back on rainy days is their consistent principle. This time they came to Auckland, didn’t they just want to see if it was going to rain for the target companies?
Lian Na said hurriedly: "I'm sorry, but..."

She looked at her husband.

Gaskell said, "We can change rooms."

He turned to Ian and said, "I guess you're going to interview me too."
